no.... within 6 years they are going to make impressive fortifications and train more soldiers.... they now the Caldera issue will cause trouble.... and as well as their disputes with Telvanni and also on the mainland, they share a border with House Dres adn are rivals of House Indoril.

[Arbiter]

So they won't have it easy? I mean, even with Imperial aid?

[KuKulzA]

okay.... Imperial Legions are powerfully made, trained to fight with Heavy style armors, trained to be tactically flexible and enduring... Dunmer were trained to follow orders, respect clan-affiliation, and be great individual warriors, but not organized as much.

Hlaalu will probably take after the Imperials, as they don't field as big an army as the Indoril (ordinators). They will imitate Imperial warfare probably... and also have Imperials on their side. The Nords and some mercenaries drawn from the fighter's Guild will be part of their armies too... adding anything ranging from cannon-fodder, swashbuckling barbarians, to discipline mercenaries killing for booty since a young age.

the opposing armies will contain Indoril, Dres, and Redoran.... they are possesing of larger numbers, better warriors.... however, they are more on the individual level than organized (they are still pretty organized, at least the Indoril are).... but they have larger numbers and better individual warriors

Telvanni, and their betmeri mercenaries, etc. are caught in between, initially they want to stay out of it... however their settlements are in danger, they can get a lot from the war... so they prepare for war... outlands can conscript in Telvanni mercenary camps, the Telvanni bring more soldiers in from the mainland... they are the most powerful settlement maker, surprisingly, on Vvardenfell.... they want to keep their lands.... they have great sorcerers and magicians... good mercenaries with big hatred for other Dunmer.... (especially Dres & Hlaalu = big slavers) and the Telvanni will have other "tricks up their sleeves"....

I thougnt that Telvanni Wizard Lords didn't care about anything and don't want to be disturbed?

Well, when war comes to your doorstep, you can't really sit back at let it pass you by. You'll end up with everything taken from you, and without even a fight. Kukulza said it in the last paragraph he wrote. Telvanni are caught inbetween and would have much rather stayed out of it.

Makes sense, but it all depends on what role will magic play. I mean, with a Fire Ball range 200, you could easily waste entire group (I suppose).

Sorry for getting of the topic.

Ixidors Bane (and anyone else), what are your thoughts on having petty gangs in Balmora? in Ald-Ruhn? in Vivec?
competing gangs? and the big-daddy of them all, the Cammona Tong, the most powerful and brutal criminal syndicate in Morrowind....
Cammona Tong members were mostly in Balmora, Gnaar Mok, 1 or 2 manors inthe Ascadian Isles... and Dren Plantation... considering they are so popular and so big withthe younger generation of Dunmer (the young mer) they should have a lot of members, meeting at clubs to practice swords and clubs and also helping to smuggle stuff, etc.etc.

also in the interest of the Cammona Tong is to either unify all of the gangs or stamp them out... among them the Thieves guild 'could' be considered one...

Petty, rival gangs would be pretty cool to add to the larger cities. Of course the Commona Tong would be the largest baddest one around. But I don't think they would likely be trying to join all the gangs, more likely just kill them off, while of course recruting memeber from wherever they can find them.

The Thieves Giuld would definately be their largest competition and the Commona Tong would be trying to kill them off as soon as possible (the two trying to get along -> :lmao: ). Thieves Guild is more honerable and try not to harm innocents in their work, while the Commona Tong seem more ruthless and murderious. The two most likely will mix as well as oil and water.

The Council Club could be expanded and made into a more formal base in Balmora for them. I don't know, I'll have to think about some options. Also, I'll try to think about where the petty gangs might hang around at.

[KuKulzA]

sounds good...
as for gang "clubs" try taverns, a nobleman's house, rented out houses, basements, cellars, sewers...

maybe like Lucky Lockup, Eight Plates, Council Club, etc.

[Ixidors Bane]

Ok, I'll try to start thinking up some different gangs that might hang around in Balmora and where they might be located. Got any idea's on what the different gangs would do around the towns?
