The Order of Chaladon

<< < (2/4) > >>

Wazulu :
Hmm, they've got a couple oceans in the way. I can see a clear obstacle in the form of the Baronies, so expanding that way would be difficult, as it would require waging war over an ocean, which could limit the capabilities of an airship fleet, especially if the coast was fortified. In that same vein expanding to the South wouldn't be too bad, although they'd run into the Guild sooner rather than later. The only issue is if they did try to expand they could be faced with a two fronted war, which would nigh-on guarantee their loss.

You've then got to think about forms of communication- trying to control vast areas of territory with limited forms of communication is extremely difficult, and gets more so the further away the boder of the territory is from the center or capital. This is exacerbated by the oceans, and therefore trying to maintain influence of a cross-ocean territory will be pretty difficult.

Also, small point, I imagine that Chaladon would be isolationist- think America during WWI. There's always the risk of that lovely triple war in the Burren, and Yesha can breathe down everybody's necks except theirs- why would they want to enter that political mess? If they've got all the resources they need they can just wait for overseas demand and start selling. Or, sit there and wait for the storms to pass by them

Gryphos:
Also, asking why they wouldn't expand is assuming that they'd want to in the first place. While the rest if the world's gone to shit, they're probably quite content in their little paradise.

Piemanlives:
So is Anvala and they have guns, everywhere.

Byron Cavendish:
What I ascertain from what is presented is: from the concept art shown, the ethnicity of Chaladon is Anglo. The clothing shows the most inclination towards aristocratic Victorian, with a touch of middle-eastern in the head-wear. They are culturally the very definition of isolationists, and on top of that, they have what seems to be the Utopian society. They are very much what could be the pinnacle of human civilization.

Anvala's different. Chaladon can put up two fingers to Yesha, as to invade they'd have to cross extreme distances, as well as doing so in territory that isn't theirs- I don't think the Baronies will let the Yeshans park their Armada on the coast for a quick stop before Chaladon.  However, like a post I put before somewhere around here, Anvala's got 3 factions drooling over it. I wouldn't say it's isolationist, it's merely trying to keep it's head above the water with potential armies surrounding it. That and it's gonna be the general area (Burren) in which I can see lots of conflicts occurring.

Also of interesting note is that the Chaladonians (Probably the right way of putting it) could under price their goods, particularly food, and sell it to the Angleans at cheaper prices, compared to those of the Yeshans. That'd be a nice point of conflict, and a potential reason why areas such as the Baronies and Angleans may side with Chaladon in the case of war. That's if Chaladon bothers to get involved, mind.
