The Duchy of Camorr

Post by Strategos » 31 May 2014, 20:57

Life is Feudal Players! Here me now!
Have you been looking for a Guild? An association? A Profitable Society of Right People for the Liberation of Otherwise Unused Wealth? A Trader's Amalgamation? An chance to live in the legendary city of Camorr?
Your chance is here, right now! Simply join The Duchy of Camorr, and get rich. Our Guild is small, true, but the more people who join, the more powerful it becomes. Focused on trade, conquest, and General Awesomeness, the purpose of this guild is to establish an in-game Dutchy of Camorr, the richest Realm in all of Life is Feudal.
To join, just post in this thread (all other advertisement threads will have links to this thread) and/or join our Steam group (AND JOIN THE NEW ENJIN SITE). Since its alpha, we're not exactly specific with recruits, and those who join now will receive free Camorri land grants when the city is founded. We're very active in LiF:YO and have our own server (called, obviously enough "duchy of camorr"). to get the password, JOIN!
Looking for more info? Just see below for a general (severely variable) structure of offices and all that.

Image

Guild Offices: (all office-holders without LiF forum accounts will have their Steam name listed)

Duke: Strategos
The Duke is the Supreme Despot, aided by an advisory Council of his choosing. His word is law, so live with it.
Duke's Champion (Represents Camorr single combat and protects the Duke, also commands the elite Blackjackets): Kona9
Magistarios (Minister of Foreign Affairs): Judge Panther
Magister Milatum (General-in-Chief): Azkaz (Codec)
Sakkelerios (Chief Architect, Administrative Officer, and Chancellor of the Realm): WhiteTree
Master of Coin (the Accountant Of Camorr, makes sure resources are collected, the treasury is in order, and we don't overspend): Nubez Unite
Duke's Spider (Master of Spies): Kona9
Strategos: The Strategoi (or military governor) commands a military district with in the city of Camorr. All citizens are required to serve in the military when called, so all residents of the Districts will serve in a regiment commanded by their Strategos. The Magister Milatum is authorized to appoint Strategoi so long as the choice is approved by the Duke.

Advisory Council:
This council is the legislative body of Camorr. Each district will have an elected representative to this council. The council passes laws by simple majority, and all laws must be approved by the Duke. NOTE: The Duke can also make decrees on his own.
ALSO: Until there are enough districts to seat a suitable number of representatives, the Advisory Council will not exist. All laws until that time will be decrees. I'm looking for about ten districts but fewer would be perfectly fine. That issue will be decided on later once we actually get to the process of city-building.


The Military:
The Military is comprised of two units, the District Troops, and the Blackjackets. Each district (there are planned to be twelve), will be led by a Strategos, and will live in a certain section of the city, meaning you'll literally be fighting alongside thy neighbors. Because LiF has separate skill-caps for combat and domestic stuff, this is the best of both worlds, military manpower and industrial skill.

Image

The majority of the districts will work on the "militia service" tree. There will be two ranged districts and two two-handed districts. The Blackjackets are the cavalry. Each district will defend it's section of the wall during a siege.

AS for the Blackjackets, these guys are the ELITE of Camorr. One unit to begin with, these chums are commanded by the Duke's Champion (the indestructible Kona9), and form a mounted reserve during a siege. These chums will also be the professional branch of the military, serving in joint operations, raids and low-intensity warfare where the districts are not needed. They will live in the Large Keep in central district. This highly trained regiment is CURRENTLY RECRUITING: to become a candidate, you must defeat a current Blackjacket in the duel (in LiF or, at this point because the combat is so clunky Mount and Blade: Warband) TWO OUT OF THREE TIMES.

City Planning:

Image

In LiF:YO RIGHT NOW we're working on the prototype of our city.

The city is divided into twelve military districts, each commanded by a Strategos. Each district will have all the skill-sets, so they will be basically self sufficient. A farm and a large warehouse, as well as space for the ten members of the regiment is mandatory: the rest of the allotted area is for whatever the players want to build. When a Strategos is appointed by His Majesty, said Strategos recruits new guild members into his/her district until it is full.

Image
(A somewhat to scale version of the plan)

In the center of the city there is a trade plaza, where a trading post and space for artisans shops will be. This will also serve as the Execution/Dueling Square.

Directly behind that is the Central District where the Duke, His officials, and the Blackjackets will live. Aside from the Large Keep (the largest building in the game) and the enclosing wall (our second line of defense), this place will operate like any other district.

You can see the finalized plan for LiF:YO at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... ingle=true

Guild Constitution:
The full form will be posted later, assuredly, upon beta or release, but a few short blurbs of ideas are shown here (so you can get an idea of what you'll be obeying).

1. No killing Guild Members.
2. No stealing from Guild Members.
3. No trolling, chat-spamming, cyber-misconduct etc.
4. No arson of Guild-owned or Guild-member owned property.
5. Obey the Duke
6. NEVER betray the Guild (and you'll assuredly never do it twice ;)).
7. All Camorri are required to serve in the Military when called by their Supreme Duke or one of His officers acting on His authority.

And Remember:
a. The Guild is Richer and Cleverer than everyone else(and modest too!)
b. Uncle Olaf Needs You
c. We NEVER surrender.
d. We NEVER retreat (just tactically withdraw)
e. Never Eat a Wet Piano (it's quite disgusting, actually).

Join Today:

We have a NEW OFFICIAL WEBSITE!!!!! Visit this at:
http://duchyofcamorr.enjin.com

Our LiF:YO Server is called Duchy of Camorr (rather obviously), visit the website or the steam group (and join) to get the password. Currently, we are very active in LiF:YO (though the guild was mainly founded for the MMO), and are training, solidifying the government, getting to know each-other, and building a (really freaking epic) prototype of Camorr. It's a peaceful server, but we do stage duels (particularly for Blackjacket recruits) for the PVP-ers among ye. You can see the rules at:
http://duchyofcamorr.enjin.com/forum/m/ ... rver-rules

My character name on said server is Severian Komnenos, just so ye don't confuse my name with the General title.

The Link to our Steam community group is below (if you intend on joining and you have Steam, it would help if you joined this group to better keep track of Guild Members pre-launch):
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/theduchyofcamorr

If you feel the need for a Gentleman Bastard's (since Scott Lynch's novels are kind of a massive inspiration to this Nation) forum signature, the file is attached.

You know, it's legal to reply here...
Anyway, if you don't have Steam, here's the place to register thyself in the guild...
Sigh...
Yes, for all of ye who stray across this thread, there are now eight official members and two others sort of hovering on the edge...

Hello,

I was wondering if you were still taking members. I do have Steam, and I'm planning to pick up YO, but I thought I'd check here first and ask if y'all plan to be active once YO launches.

And yes, we're going to be active in LiF: YO, we've just got to coordinate things related to servers n' all that.

Welcome to the Duchy of Camorr!

Great! Welcome to the Duchy of Camorr!

As it turns out, I don't have Alpha access at the moment either (and they've currently closed down the Pre-Alpha MMO servers atm to make room for LiF:YO, but I do plan to get said LiF: YO when the money shows up. Thanks for replying, and if you don't feel like buying the just-released alpha version I'm hoping to become active on very soon, that's OK: this guild is founded for the MMO, we're just using YO to get familiar with the game mechanics...

In the meantime, I'd be happy to serve as a punching bag in games like M+B warband or the (free) War of the Roses for all those who want to hone their combat skills before they get the game, or just feel like beating the digital crap out of me.

Also : I now have access and we have a server. Come and join us!

Welcome to the Duchy of Camorr Stdenis!

By the way, I think I accepted thy friend request, but if for some reason I didn't, feel free to send another one. Not sure what your Steam name is so...

@johannes...
That's strange that it wouldn't let you, because the group is public... anyway, post thy steam name and I'll invite you....

As for Tidgy, why yes, we're CONSTANTLY recruiting! It's great that so many people hath replied (all within a few days of LiF:YO being released!). Welcome to the Duchy of Camorr! If you have the same problem joining the Steam group as Johannes for some reason, just add me on Steam and I'll invite you.

I'm very interesting in joining up with The Duchy of Camorr. I've just recently joined the steam group.

I was looking to start out as a logger (primarily gathering logs) for the guild, and possibly move into carpentry as a secondary focus.

Great! Welcome all!

@WhiteTree: Indeed, logging will probably be essential to the building of Camorr, and we'll be in need of some good Carpenters. Tis great that you've already chosen a career path for thy character! Welcome aboard!

Hi. I might be interested, but was wondering where your preference lies with regards to PvE vs PvP activity in the game?
I tend to just happily build / farm away without really wanting to be drawn into unnesessary(sp?) wars.
Also, what timezone is your leadership in?

Currently we've got a very peaceful little sever where we're building a prototype of Camorr. Eventually, we'll build a dueling ground if you eve get interested in pvp. In the mom, we'll be a relatively peaceful trading city (though we'll be able to defend ourself VERY we'll, I think, if we ever get attacked). Personally my philosophy for this game is that wars will probably come to us and we don't have to go looking for them: we're not trying to conquer the world, just get rich...

Server's in Dallas, Texas, so y'all from Europe might have a bit of a Ping problem (I know I do, it hovers around 112 or something, but there's generally no lag).

As for both of ye, Welcome to the Duchy of Camorr! The just go to the Enjin site for the server info and the Steam Group to get in touch with the vast majority of everyone 8-) . As for the server problems, I haven't been on since Tuesday but I'll definitely get on Friday, but if you have any questions, contact WhiteTree, the Sakkelerios, who's hosting (or just look at the server change-log if that answer's your question). The server is indeed back up an running the new patch after a temporary bit of flukage.

Leadership is based in NA (EST), but we have people from around the world in our Guild. Yes, this might make things a wee bit difficult in regards to setting up military campaigns (the Greek guy, Nick Lazanis, would probably skewer me for asking him to make a digital 20 mile march at midnight in his time zone). But that's MMO worries, and we'll figure that out when we have to dodge (or catch and survive, or make really good kevlar) the bullet of creating a coherent governmental structure...

Anyway, WELCOME TO THE GUILD!!!!! (again). It's great to get more people who are active in the game (server population is low now because only six guild members have bought the alpha so far, though everyone's got it on their wishlist and, I believe, is waiting for a more stable game). Server activity should also be helped by the fact that I've invited all the wee little guilds from the Coalition of Independent States (we're the founding Nation, by the way) to play on the Duchy of Camorr server.
