Republic of Roshos

Sizeman21 · 02-23-2022, 02:58 PM

Hi guys, I'm back after a long time off the forums, busy with life and such.

I've recently commissioned a map largely of the artists making, I asked him for his artistic input with names of cities and such and placement of towns. I mainly just offered input along the way. I am hoping to work on this when OOTP 23 drops and have a working Republic of Roshos in the database to tinker with afterwards. I've been itching to get a new League working after not having much inspiration for OOTP 22.

Stay tuned!

Love the map! Can't wait see where this goes

Love fictional nation leagues, OOTP is better suited for it than most text sims.

Sizeman21 · 03-03-2022, 03:44 PM

I'm thinking of something like this for the leagues in this universe. I'll probably add Independent leagues for the individual islands as well later on.

Arcela Phantoms
Ascbürh Racers

Statbürh Clippers
Chetontorp Venom
Bilmarn Crabs
Thyr Goats

~~~~~~~

Dobregean Independent League

Oscostn Flood
Veestbect Dragons
Larsbroc Peppers
Diepwiic Black Cats
Henderkop Power
Zaael Red Caps
Helztorp Squirrels
Lescwiic Caracals
Bobresa Terriers

Sizeman21, good to see you back on the forum... you did a beautiful North Island map for me several years ago.

Looking forward to your dynasty league and graphics.

Your map is outstanding... truly a work of art... wow, you have a lot of towns on it... but it contains a lot of villages and small towns... I wish I could zoom in on it and see the smaller details... maybe one day you can post it so the smaller details are more visible., but only if they have teams in your dynasty league.

Hey TrbldWiseman,

I never asked for a specific language from the artist, I think he was trying to incorporate somewhat Nordic, Dutch and a bit of Welsh namesets and language.

These are a few words he concocted for the fictional language:

bay - biit / bect
big - gront
black - sürt
bridge - brica
brook - bilk
castle - coston
cove - enher
deep - hwea
fast - fleot
finger - fyncen
fish - fisc
ford - waad
forest - holt / asc (wood)
fortress - fostung
grass - hæld
green - gän
ground - fælt
headland - fyrg
hill - beul / cnela / camst
island - eowlang
lake - diep / teica (small lake or pond)
land - lang
mountain - bereg
new - næ
port / harbour - hæfn
river - æfn / bresa (brook or stream)
road - wæg
rock - cär
sea - sheur
shoal - deppen
small - gleen
strait - strät
tide / flow - flodda
town - stot / bürh
valley - dæn
village - torp / wiic / hem / ton
water - esse
windy - hender

of - au' (prefix)
the - den
on - um' (prefix)
by - si' (prefix)

north - noort
south - tsord
east - erts
west - veest

Hey Eugene,

I can click the map on my Chrome browser and it comes up very nicely, no pixels or anything.

I am pretty sure you can RIGHT CLICK on the map and open it in a new tab to zoom better. Might not work on your browser.

I wonder what is going on in your end. Not sure what I can do.

Makes sense Also explains why I had trouble with it

I can just click on the map and get it to enlarge... but I would still have to zoom in closer for the fine details.

I'll try your suggestion... may right clicking will allow me to zoom.

Eugene Church · 03-03-2022, 10:45 PM

Yep, your suggestion to right click worked... I right clicked and it gave me a very detailed look at it.

Never knew you could do that.

Thanks for the help.

And welcome back.

Sizeman21 · 03-04-2022, 01:02 PM

This is a mockup of the Major League team spread on the islands. I enjoy simple maps like this just for the visual aspect and immersive bits.

Eugene Church · 03-04-2022, 01:24 PM

Do you do the graphics for your teams?

Do you plant to post this league on the Dynasty Forum?

If so, I'm looking forward to following it.

Really, really well-done.

I will be using Lows work just to save time. Plus I love his work.

I will probably post occasionally on the dynasty forums but I am thinking of writing as a Gazette publisher for the local paper or something. We will see what I feel like in a month or so.

Always good to see another fictional world league! Good luck with this!

And those are GREAT maps.
