Quo Usque Pro Equestria Ibis? Part III


Wade Barrett

1,071 views

Mods coming along alright. I'm currently in the process of editing missions for a more 'Equestrian' flavour. This should make it more interesting to actually play as Equestria in the future rather than it just existing as a new, exotic culture for my Britons to completely overrun and crush.

 

Anyway, these are just a handful of pictures I snagged. There'll be a lot more to come later, but i'm focusing on getting shit done rather than showing shit, considering how little attention it gets (We have to give love to episode commentaries, right?) They don't show the major extent of work done, but they show a bit.

 

For some goddamn reason, the pre-named armies I changed appear to have disappeared. While this is slightly good news (There were armies appearing with blank names. Presumably, they were traversing the world, looking to twat someone to get the coveted sword cutie mark.), it's something i'll need to look into further.

Looking majestic and completely oblivious to the fact that there's empires forming far quicker than them.

Translation: "Please don't kill us. We see you Briton's, expanding across Germania and Gaul, and we're protecting our asses here. Celestia sends some gold."

My reaction: Accept? Nah. Feck off. We'll be seeing you later. At your gates.

I was worried Equestria would sit on its arse in this campaign, It actually has a decent empire going, spreading love and tolerance across Hellas and into Macedon and further afield. Can't wait til late game when they take over half the goddamn map. (It's happened before)

 

SPECIAL FEATURE: Waifu's.

 

Well, because...............

 

 

...You know what? I don't know. it's something I added for the sheer craic.

 

(NOTE: Yes, i'm using pictures snagged from deviantART. If you don't like it, just remember I ain't publically releasing it. And if I do, i'd sure as hell get permission from the artists first. If you still don't like it, i'll remove it and draw stick figures instead. It'd be far easier than getting lawyers involved.)

Twilight, if you were smarter, you wouldn't have picked an Admiral who I use about as much as Kanye West uses his brain.

I couldn't think of any better description text. So shoot me.

Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. See? Every town would stop rebelling against my violent and lawless rule if we just had Fluttershy. And now I do. For one general.

 

Which basically just means only one less town I have to worry about rebelling and raiding my goddamn provincial capitals.

 

Right now, since this is an entirely hypothetical situation (ie; "What the fuck would happen if you shoved Canterlot into the middle of a world that was completely hostile to anything and everything that moved?"), the idea of Canterlot as a City State is something that has come to me. After all, look at it: All big and grand and the seat of power. I can imagine it being a City State at that point in time. Which got to me thinking: Why not turn Sparta (SCREW YOU SPARTA AND SCREW THE LACONOPHILIA OF EVERY MORON IN THE WORLD TODAY) and Epirus (Bad news: Epirus lasts about five turns in most games I start) into city states? Sparta could be Ponyville (or I could even turn Sparta to Canterlot, with Athens as Cloudsdale.) and Epirus could be....some...bloody random town that barely gets a mention in the series. Hell, I could expand further afield: Knossos could be Manehattan: Although it doesn't do ANYTHING. In eight campaigns i've started, the kingdom of Knossos just sits on its island and does absolutely nothing. Macedon could be the Crystal Empire.

 

Yeah, Alexander's legacy was bringing ponies to the world. What a guy.

 

Right now, there's a lot of work to be done. The moment I can get the aesthetics working, i'll move onto tweaking the world more. Why not? It'll save me from whittling away my weekends on TVTropes, at least.

"How far will you go for Equestria?"

 

Ooh, it's grammatically correct with Equestria in the ablative case! :D

 

Anyways, back with your actual blog post, I find your premise hilarious:

 

 

"What would happen if you shoved Canterlot into the middle of a world that was completely hostile to anything and everything that moved?"

And I've never even played this game.
