uhhm has anybody an idea why Belenos has the oiLugos name of the Averni-Verrix-family and is of 'Osi' orgin? Is he adopted? or should i ask a Averni-team-member? just to get some story behind him for the start.

and fouthermore... he is govenor of Viennos at gamestart - can I count that as given office by the tribes of that region? I think that's a point we have to discuss.

*edit* hehe just checked the list. only the char of Shylence is from the Allobrogne/Caturige tribes ... and as my guy is current Vollorix of these tribes - unknown for what matter - he has a good chance of holding this position. NICE. anyway back to topic. when will we start?

I don't know, either. Sounds like adoption, but that's a deaf man's guess.

Not automatically, no. The tribe that owns Viennos will first decide who of them will be the Vollorix, and then make up their own ranks within that tribe - as well as who governs that settlement, and how you'll decide who will govern any other settlements you might later acquire.

As I said above, no Vollorix has been decided at this moment; actually, besides the Verrix and Vollorix of the Arverni tribe (me! ), no position has been decided yet.

Which reminds me: we should divide people up in tribes now. Give me a second and I will do it.

well - for the start I think it is best Belenos is counted to the Caturige/Allobrognes but isn't he out of this to some point? *he wants Osi brothers to ride with* :clap2:

[The Celtic Viking]

No, he's not. Regardless of his origins, he has aligned himself with the Arverni confederation (otherwise he wouldn't be there), of which the Osi do not belong, so you have to be part of one of these options. If Osi lands are later conquered, you can attempt to create a new tribe, though IMO we're too few to have more than 3 tribes. Having many with only 1-2 members is far from optimal IMO.

(Btw, don't take this post the wrong way. You can roleplay him however you want, even to the point of having him as a spy for the Osi tribe or something like that. What I'm saying is that officially he's a part of the Arverni confederacy while the Osi are not, and that's something you should adjust to.)

I have no objectin with the tribe I got into. So its fine with me.

[The Celtic Viking]

Do you guys think 3 tribes are too many, though? I have a feeling that it is, seeing as we're only 9 players. My reasoning is that one of the central parts of the game is the competition for positions and ranks, and with only 3 people/tribe I fear there won't be much of that. If we lessened it to two tribes (preferably the Arverni and Sequani, as they were - by my understanding - the historically strongest ones) we'd have one with 5 (pref. Arverni, since they were the stronger) and the other 4.

Doing so would increase the internal competition and make tribal ranks more meaningful, which is why I personally support it - at least until we get more players.
