[HISTORY] The Location of the Province of Wessex [DARKFALL]

[Borandor Mercas]

Ever since I applied for membership in the DoW, I've been thinking about the way our homeland will eventually look. The economy especially. This makes me wonder what the Wessexian country side will be like, as this will have a major influence on the export. Assuming we will have one big province, that is. Not scattered cities like the Hellenic City States of old.
I hope we will have at least one city near a body of water leading to the ocean. Otherwise we'd have a bit of a problem concerning the navy.

Anyway, since a map of Agon has been released, have any plans been made concerning the location of Wessex yet? (Aside from it being located in Mercia)

[Dreign Swift]

Pretty top-secret stuff, imo.

Soo...who sent you?

[Aethelric Brandt]

We're not going to be "located in" Mercia. Just cross out Mercia and write in Wessex.

[Dreign Swift]

oh, and it's WSX, not DoW >_<

[Tewdric Veincrusher]

I am pretty sure this is what Beta will be for. We will get a whole lot of people to scout out possible city sites, possible enemy city sites, mines, rivers, etc

[Alandarus Barbatus]

I guess we'll just have to see when beta starts.

[Borandor Mercas]

Really? I apologize. I only wish to learn! *Scratches head confusedly*

And about who sent me... there's this little voice in my head, you see.

Anyway, if this really is top-secret I won't press the matter any further *Grin*. I just hope it'll be a bit of a sensible location.

[Komako the Hawk]

Our capital city, Win-caster, will be positioned where it is most beneficial within Darkfall in relation to gameplay and the Hyperion Kingdom. This sort of decision will be made in beta through scouting efforts.

[Vasidius Kalgar]

I guess we'll just have to see when beta starts.

^^

..Have faith that Wessex will assume any clanstone that we so desire, we'll be situated where we can get the best from every world (close to water, quarries, mines, resource nodes, allies, solid defence positions etc etc)

[Borandor Mercas]

I'm already looking forward to seeing an army of 400+ men in newby gear wandering Agon in search of a good spot to found Win-Caster.
