Hiborea Map Claims

Like I've mentioned earlier, designating a city to be colonized by settlers does not mean it is suddenly a bustling hub. You can designate cities wherever you want; whether or not they actually have anything worth noting within their boundaries is another issue.

You can officially designate a certain area of land a new municipality. From that moment forwards, it functionally becomes a city because of legal status, political status, etc. even if nobody actually lives there yet.

However, actually putting people there is the easy part. It would be relatively cheap to ship a bunch of poor, desperate settlers en masse in cargo ships to these new places. Of course the settlement would be a dirt town at first, but would develop over time.

Nations can designate cities wherever and whenever they want, they just can't turn them into bustling metropolises overnight. There also exists the possibility that the cities where there before the territory was annexed, allowing them to already be well established, albeit with a largely foreign population, which would then need to be pacified or subdued somehow.

Ras... this raises in interesting question...

can you designate cities differently from towns or cities-to-be in the map? Like cities can be diamonds and towns/not-so-cities can be circles or something... can you make that distinction?

Please send me the history of each cities. I cannot imagine why your cities are popping up everywhere, especially in the colonies.

Gaia has existed for centuries. It just wasn't in the top 5, so I did not initially request that it be on the map.
Alicanata is Hijjma's biggest city.

Versus was more or less founded by EEE. It is the shortest possible distance from the coastline to a third of the oil fields. Although a town existed beforehand, EEE renamed it and immediately initiated mass colonization and the construction of the pipeline.
The primary reason for the locations of the annex cities is oil. It needs to get on barges so it can be shipped to Osclanatine or KI or Rasvidi or elsewhere.

Alright....

I am a little doubtful about cities popping up and becoming a hub... so again, I am waiting for Ras's claim on if we can displays constructing cities and cities differently.

I actually like that idea, Oscalantine. We would need to figure out how to categorize cities though; I suggest capitals, major cities, established cities, and colonies/developing cities.

OK, then. All of my cities in the homeland (with the obvious exception of Kolbertiko) are major cities. Alicante is major. Salvador is major. (It was historically sizable; EEE renamed it.) Finix and Versus are just established/developing. Sankta Vak is a colony.

Hmmm....

We definitely need to start making population limits on what makes a city...
I think you are going a little bit too overboard with cities... however, I won't say no, but that doesn't mean a decree of must.

Regardless, I agree, ras, that there should be capital, cities (major), towns (minor), constructing cities, and colonial settlements

And you can RP in the cities and upgrade them, I suppose.

Mhm... I might be the offender here.

Let's see... Civa, you probably won't keep them all major cities, right? Having towns and building (aspiring) cities would be fine, I suppose...

But again, not imposing anything. Ask Ras and he will decide to add it or not... Until I finish the current rule that I'm making... I won't touch this subject.

Yeah, I am going a bit overboard with cities (as I do with everything). I promise I'll draw the line here.

Well, again, there is no need to die over cities.

population hubs should be cities, and I don't care if anyone says anything about it. What I don't like is seeing cities pop up like popcorn. Where did they come from? That's what I wanted to know.

Regardless, I don't care if people have city of one population... seriously, dudes, go wild with cities, but don't expect Ras to hear all your complaints when he is sick and in cast

OK, I've nixed all of my past requests. Here is a new, simplified and abridged list.

• Could we remove Hiborea from the Placenames map? It's a little obnoxious.
  
• Please label the southern two-thirds of Plot 4 as Edesu Hijjma. Please label the northern third of Plot 4 as Oscalantine Hijjma.
  
• Could Alicante be readded in Hijjma? In the dead center of Hijjma, please add Idris.
  
• On the southwestern coast of my desert annex, in that little section that curves inward, could I have the city Versus?

Thank you for your time.

Sorry i havent been too active guys ...I will try to do better in the future well first of all i need to get my little country on the map ....would it be possible to claim plot 6,33 and 34 ? my capitol city is Utopiaville place it in the mid section of plot 6 somewhere would be great Thanks CCRICO

'sup dude! Welcome to the RP!

Erm... You can only have one plot to start out with. Afterwards, you can expand through RP.

Hey CCRico. Welcome to the RP.

Yeah, you can only claim one plot at a time. Also, plots 6 and 33/34 are ridiculously far apart. That's pretty ambitious.

Actually... EEE, unlike what the number states, they are pretty close.

Plot 6 is basically the mainland, and 33 and 34 are those tiny islands between it and Plot 4. So basically he wants those islands for maritime control.

I understand what CC wants to do, but I cannot make exceptions to the rule... sorry, dude, but one island. Plot 6 will hopefully be fine with ya...

I think one of these days, EEE, Oscal, and CC will need to negotiate plot 33. It is pretty much between them all... should be a neutral trading territory, and construct ports around there for better trade facility... Regardless, that is something to discuss after the war =D

Or I could do "wtf" move, and take them instead.

Civa, you will then have the most economic influence in western hemisphere

I will be very afraid if you did that XDDD

My point stands. Plot 6 is as far east as one can be. The archipelagos 33 and 34 are northeast of Hijjma. That's quite the boat ride (considering the canal project was nixed for being too awesome).

Oh crap...
EEE, if you look, there are TWO plot 6's.

Ras so needs to start fixing that lol... Think one of them are plot 9 in disguise or something. I was looking at my country's right plot, while you, E, was looking at eastern most plot.

Oh, there are two Plot 6's. How interesting

¿Dondé está Rasvidi cuando lo necesitamos?

Where does New Numair end and Gracealona begin?

Just curious

I think the river is the separating point... Grace is HUGE country, you know =)

Yep the river is the border

I'd like to request plot 10 for the Royal Kingdom of Bautizar. Here are the cities:

> Port Allansberry (capital city; northern coastal)
> Fort Ash River (second-largest city; gap in the mountains and near the lake)
> Yorkvasser (third-largest city; far northwest)
> New Strathill (fourth-largest city; far northeast)
> Old Redwarren (fifth-largest city; southeast in the mountains)
