Community effort (phase 3)

Okay, I feel a bit like stepping on foodstamps toes, but now I sum up some concepts (Me likes project management).

-"Bazaar of Wonders":
A big 1001 Nights-flavor city, ruled by the King (King would be correct but Caliph/Sultan could sound okay and differentiate against the other nations) and 4 contestant guilds representing the diffrent elements.

-"Contesting Tribes":
4 long time seperate/contesting states (like early Greek city-states) each with an own rulership and elemental focus build a united city to praise their new common pretender.

-"Migrations":
A world-open, independant traiding city finds itself overflooded by 3 to 4 Early-Era nations that each happen to have a diffrent elemental focus by accident.

So, 24 hours for other settings. Suggestions must include a hint on it's flavor backround and how the 4 elements fit into this.
Beside this, ~48 hours to give your votes.

Well, shouldn't the voting period start after the suggestion period has ended?

[Foodstamp]

There won't be a deadline period. Maraxus, this is the only point of your post I feel is even remotely stepping on anyones toes.

I really like the concepts you have submitted. My favorite is:

-"Contesting Tribes":
4 long time seperate/contesting states (like early Greek city-states) each with an own rulership and elemental focus build a united city to praise their new common pretender.

So that one gets my vote. I will update the first post to reflect the spot we are at in creation.

I would also suggest we stay away from real world themes as that has seemed to be the point of contention that has drug out the debates on the different ideas.

Vote on your favorite out of the ones listed above or submit your concept and we will move forward . Also, someone come up with a wicked cool name .

[Agrajag]

Well, if we're voting then my vote goes to "Contesting Tribes"

Name?
How about Yesod or Yesodot or Arba?
I actually like Arba a bit, call them "The Arbaean Tribes".
Call them "Tarn/Tarnean" after Tarn* the great craftsman of worlds

Did you miss the name I suggested earlier, Foodstamp?

Air Update: I've started testing a few units with placeholder sprites for the time being. I've also started spritework on a few non-human units.

[Foodstamp]

Aye I saw it. Incase anyone else missed it, the name is "Acatharti Dominion". The name is alright, I don't like that it has the word "Dominion" in it.

Here is a current list to condense the names for voting:
Acatharti Dominion
Tarn
Yesod
Yesodot
Arba

If I have missed others, or you have new ideas, just add to the list

[Saulot]

I suppose you're right, dominion does sound better in a completely different context. (Perhaps a scifi one or something not involving dominions)

*ponders*

I suppose Confederacy, Commonwealth, Empire, Caliphate, Emirate, Sultanate etc. are all fine substitutes (they can also go before, such as X of Acartharti.

Or simply Acartharsis.
Or 'Unified Acartharsis'.
Or 'Greater Acartharsis'.

Also, a play on the Mongols, The Silver Horde.

Also, a play on ancient China, The Four Kingdoms.
