I love this particular compass being assembled. Good stuff, lads.

So what’s the relationship between Perseus ll and the Titanium king? Both atlanteans, of some capacity, but vastly different monarchs. A dual monarchy? Different nations? Is atlantis a confederacy :0 wonder if the two have ever met!

>>88500929
As far as we know, Atlanteans and the Atlan both have the same roots in history. Both consider themselves the "Real" Atlantis.

>>88500929
Titanium King is an Atlan, not an Atlantean. Not that Atlans consider the two to be different things.
Atlanteans do. Atlanteans very much do.

>>88499775

So, do you think it is a societal split or a political split? are they different groups in a juxtaposed society or different nations with severely conflicting ideals.

also. Which do you think is older, Atlantis or Mu? I personally think Atlantis, I'm not sure on Lemuria, the general image of their society is obviously very spiritual, possibly tribal, but to what level and how much other factions regard them is up for debate.

>>88502300
I feel like civilisation that Lemuria patterns itself on was the OG deep cave society. Current Lemuria are LARPers who don't even begin to understand the eldritch powers their prophecies are contacting.

The old "atlantis" that split into Atlantis and Atlan was a surface society that sank. Probably very old, but current Atlantis and Atlan might not be similar to it at all.

New Mu is probably the youngest of the underground civilisations. Old Mu? No idea.

>>88502195

>This one is the cave people. Some of the cave people go lower, degenerate into the Morlocks. New layer forms, Mu refugees proceed upward.
>New layer is Atlantis. Atlantis has its golden age, but finds itself in conflict with the Mu refugees. Eventually, Atlantis sinks and a new layer forms above it. Atlantis splits, half becoming the Atlans while the other half remain Atlantians. Atlantians and Mu refugees flee to the new layer.
>At some point during this period, a population discovers the ruins of Old Lemuria and they begin larping in accordance with the prophecy.
>Atlantis and Mu refugees discover the newest layer, this is us.
>Mu refugees decide to found their own kingdom, partially on the surface, partially in the depths.
>Atlanteans prefer the idea of tricking surface people into helping them retake Old Atlantis, wind up working with surfacers.
>At some point Napoleon and Malcolm descend into the earth, discover different secrets of the underworld and lead different factions of changed humans.

I'm not sure I like the idea of new layers constantly forming above, I much prefer it when the earth has always been hollow and it's been a constant process of discovering (and rediscovering) layers beneath. It gives a sense of there's always something deeper and darker below. Though I guess that since rocketry technology won't be developed for another several decades you can always say there's another layer above, or several. And another thing, how do you imagine the layers above are formed?

>>88503505
>How do you imagine the layers above are formed?
I think it's a weird sort of metaphysical phenomenon; As a culture gets "heavier" it begins to sink, and the next layer is formed over time from their ideas about the world.
Also, I think that this is a sort of retroactive process; the sinking of Atlantis caused Atlantis to have always been sunk. Old Lemuria probably got hit pretty hard with this, resulting in their physical degeneration. Mu refugees and the Lemuria Larpers possibly caused later layers to become aware of the process, corrupting it in some way and making them able to remember that there even was a time before the destruction of these societies.

All they did was add a bunch of new tribes and tone down the deranged anti-Irishism for the Cullagahs. Don't put that on the level of whales and battlefield hazard Plesis.

>I much prefer it when the earth has always been hollow and it's been a constant process of discovering (and rediscovering) layers beneath. It gives a sense of there's always something deeper and darker below.

The way I was looking at it is
>Old cultures dig/sink deeper as new ones arrive to get away from the threats / keep hidden from the annoyance.
>New cultures dig deeper to discover what the old cultures represented.
A never ending cycle of reaching for the bottom, only to find that below every layer you unearth is another darker mysetry.

perhaps the Atlans survived the sinking of Atlantis and stayed in the old ruins, because ''they were protected by the sacred Atlan Walls'', or so their history says. Now they regard the Atlantean ''refugees'' state as an enemy in a civil war, to be absorbed and reforge a unified Atlantis.

Lemuria would be considered the oldest due to being the descendants of the post-bronze age collapse Indo-Aryans that drove the Dravidians into southern Hindustan and interbred with the Kashmiri and Jammu people, then settling into the Lemurian continent to form a farmer society. The "modern" Lemurians aren't the same though, as they began interbreeding and adopting the culture of the Cro-magnons of the lost land, their pagan beliefs being subverted into the new prophecy cult.

The leviathan compass thread anons getting butthurt over this is actually pretty embarrassing and sad.

>>88504442
I'm from the Leviathan compass and I'm having fun. Stop inventing drama.

>>88504323
Wrong. Indo-Aryans are descendants of Lemuria, not the other way around.

I hope people remember what "Lemuria" is supposed to be. It's a hypothetical continent between Madagascar and India to explain the presence of Lemurs in both regions but not anywhere in between. While there is certainly a history of Lemuria in /x/ schizobabble from Theosophy and the Shaver Mysteries, it at its core needs to be Southern India and completely separate from Indo-Aryans (which were North India).

Blavatsky is an idiot, though. I'd be perfectly fine with including her theories so long as it isn't called "Lemuria", because "Lemuria" actually has a meaning outside of her schizoposting. She just attached her theories to the name because it was a "lost continent" and thus must surely be like Atlantis, when in reality it's a pre-continental drift scientific theory.

>>88505069
>Blavatsky is an idiot, though.
You say that like that's a bad thing in this context. People like Blavatsky had an undeniable influence on the exact type of pulp fiction we're pulling from to make this thing, so understanding how that influence came to be is useful when coming up with ideas. We don't have to have Lemuria be everything Blavatsky claimed it was, and it's better not to do that, but knowing what Blavatsky said and why she said it can be useful.

>>88505126
>where do the skywayman and the cloudellafint fit in?
We do not know what the 1e devs were thinking.

>>88505143
I'm just saying that in order for "Lemuria" to be "Lemuria" it needs to be the place where lemurs got from Madagascar to India, which places it in the southern Indian ocean. If it doesn't do that, it's not Lemuria. It's something else.

can we stop this shit? one fucking novel gets released by some d-tier writer and because he didn't read his lore now we have to deal with "i miss my kino wino whale whore houses!!!!" every thread.

it was canon before that the sky-nobles controlled most of the SWs and even had vacation-homes attached to a few; it was lightly hinted that a few of these were "love-dens" but there were never entire fleets dedicated to them, and especially not to the extent of the large-scale sex trafficking it made it out to be.

it's shit like this that got them removed from the game in the first place, especially after that guy that brought his homemade model to LMSG got kicked out for filling the attached airship with his anime figurines. template attacks were a perfectly fine idea until the mere concept of them got attached to rape-whale-airships

It will save me tons of time to not have to edit in all the images. If the OP has it with the text as a seperate layer and can just post with the images in that'd be huge help for fixing things up.

>>88515007
Given OP seems to be MIA, I wouldn't count on getting that out of them. Godspeed.

>>88515035
Alright then. I'll get to work either way, maybe OP will pop in before its done.

Tbh I hope they touch on Olm Men again, they feel a little like a footnote ever since their debut in The Sunken Sun. Don’t get me wrong, that sequence between Colonel Shikamura’s company and the Olm Men skintakers was sick exposition and Tio was a really fun supporting character of the race but there’s so much potential with them, I think.

For one Tio’s arrangenent with the Japanese that was kind of like being a foreign legion helper type deal could open up some more opportunities for Outlanders to use native forces (I love mixed armies fight me), the idea the Olm Men’s ability to navigate caves and disappear seamlessly making them a resource for outlander expeditions is really cool.

Feels so tantalizing that the author casually drops their ancestral lands being the First Layer, which is wild.

Do you think the reason Olm Tribes are mostly Second and Third layer river nomads now is because of Outlander outposts and drillibg disrupting their homelands? From the way Colonel Shikamura talks about them it sounds like Skirmishes and ambushes staged by Olm chieftains are not a new thing.

Missed Franklinite Expedition last thread, that means we only have two slots left.

The balance team hasn't changed for the next edition, mate.

You will face Thunder Mole / Heiress armies AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

>>88517603
Goddamn it. The worst shit is that they're even viable in high point games by padding their lists with suicide bomber sky captains. Yeah they're flimsy, but when they kill 3-4x their points worth in their explosion and basically no real army fields enough AA to stop several of them from closing without massively opportunity costing them to lose to every ground list ever, sky cappies basically ensure that any gunline or swarm focused list has to live in large buildings or just autolose. 4th edition meta sucks. Even if the balance team is still retarded, hopefully the new armies change up this dynamic in some way, ideally adding more generic low cost AA that can also be used against lightly/unarmored ground targets.

>>88515588
Bit of a misspelling on some of tjem, but that's okay. Weird that the WW1-era jaks got put in though.

https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/2023/88453902/
I'd wait at least until we hit the bump limit before archiving this one

We'll probably use either this thread to refine things or a new one to actually get serious hit that depends on vested interest. Shit, we could probably turn this into a general if we begin making sheets for rules and basic storyboard bullet points for the factions.

>>88518872
This setting is so gigaschizo I'd be up for developing it further.

>>88518901
If I were to continue, I'd start by exploring factional rivalries and expanding each faction with their own chart.

>>88519041
>expanding each faction with their own chart.
Which faction we starting with?

>>88519041
Here's the sheet in any case, we should probably jot down basic premises or something generally agreed upon about each faction or what rules systems we're taking things from/hybridizing. Personally I saw a mix between Infinity and 40k but with an ammunition system.

>>88519051
I'd do it two at a time. So maybe something like "Anglo-French Coalition vs Atlantians". And you'd have schizo axis like "Royalist vs Parliamentarian" and "Titanium vs Orichalcum", with Orichalcum being a metal associated with Atlantis.

>>88519083
Colonialists is a good start. That's probably the "good guys good at everything" faction.

>>88519083
I'd definitely be more interested if it wasn't through a globohomo site, but I'll toss some edits in.

>>88519083
>>88519096
I feel like the Colonials kind of fill themselves out.
And the fact that they're based off of real-world nations kind of means the Colonial factions complete themselves, at least in the general sense. Starting with them will be pretty easy yeah.

>>88519051
I should we should agree on rough directions for each faction first, like what defined them, mechanicly and in lore.
For exemple Lemuria are pseudo Indo-European (or their ancestor ? Cousin ? whatever) LARPing as Old Lemuria after they stumbled on their prophecy things (with Degenerated Lemurian being maybe "survivor" of Old Lemuria).

Giving real identity to Colonials seem important too. To me English sound like the "vanilla" colonials option, with average units, focus on range and importance of officiers. French sound more like a gimmick faction with weird units and characters (for colonials).

>>88519135
>Giving real identity to Colonials seem important too. To me English sound like the "vanilla" colonials option, with average units, focus on range and importance of officiers. French sound more like a gimmick faction with weird units and characters (for colonials).
Let's settle on what factions there even are then first.

>English
>American
>Japanese

Judging from the chart, I wouldn't consider the French to be "colonial powers" exactly.

>>88519135
English may be "a handful of specialized models", while French are more like IG "human wave attack, with lots of artillery".

One thing I'd like to see is more traditional cavalry units. I noticed early on there is talk of units "deleting cavalry", but very little in the way of actual cavalry is on the present chart. Maybe neither the English or French specialize in cavalry, but they should have some.

>>88519167
A good point. This would still be in the era of cavalry too.

>>88519182
Plus you'd probably see several factions not fully motorized in their logistics. So having horses/mules to carry loads would be the norm, with fancy mining machines and tractors being for the rich.

>>88519160
Yeah, maybe French are less colonials and more "Scientific" expedition style, their units are rather firmly Inquisitive after all.

>>88519167
Eh sound kind of the opposite, the two frog characters are gimicky while their two units sound more elite but limited kinda of style.

American are apparently mobile glass canon who need to use cover

>>88519051
If we are starting with colonials chart i propose we use co-existence vs imperialism and military vs civilian as axes

>>88519160
There are also japanese and turks

>>88519217
>Eh sound kind of the opposite
I'm just going off their irl military doctrines. British favored 'thin red line', French favored levee en masse. French did have the larger population.
However, we can make up all sorts of shit that affects circumstances. Underground may have led to a British population boom, French could have fallen into the underground, who knows.

>>88519219
Needs to be weirder.
Assimilation vs Imperialism
Expunge (military, getting rid of weird monsters and anomolies in the depths) vs Cultivate (civilian, specifically shroom farmers, but also STALKER analogues that want to use the anomalies for profit)

>>88519234
What if french litteraly fallen down? Lets say paris fell into sinkhole and now french capital is under-paris, that is also one of Gates of agartha

I know that this thread has evolved into developing this setting, but I just want to gauge if you guys would be interested in doing another compass with a new theme?

>>88519261
Maybe exploration instead of assimilation? To me assimilation is part of Imperialism

>>88519290
>but I just want to gauge if you guys would be interested in doing another compass with a new theme?
Yes and it seems like we're already planning another one about only the colonial powers of the setting.

bare in mind that one our resources is a required reading to get a sense of what the lore or character building should be like.

>>88519096
>>88519109
I imagine the colonials are the Space Marine equivalent of the setting, the most popular, the most updated, and the most sub factions. The default "good guys" who are good at everything and get wanked a little to hard by the writers (that being us).

Thanks for the starting thread mate. Glad I could help take over compiling the rest while your head exploded.

>>88519301
I kind of view the Colonialists like the IG, and the Anglo-French Coalition like the Space Marines. One relies on pluck and courage, the other relies on technology and training.

>>88519261
Subjugation vs Diplomacy.
Exploitative vs Scientific

>>88519360
I think Exploration and Diplomacy fit together.

I like having one axis being
>Exploration vs Imperialism
and maybe the other axis being totally absurd or unusual.

Where should Atlantis, Lemuria, and Mu go in the Layers? I think having their own empires stretch across several layers might be a good idea, but everyone needs to have their capital somewhere.

>>88519282
Sound fucking great.
>Paris is called "The City of Lights" because it litteraly shine in the underground
>>88519234
Oh yeah, got it, I was just trying to extrapolate for the compass.
Looking at the chart itself, it seem like among the above civilisation, English are in the middle, French are Inquisitive and American Greedy. We could try to use that.

Like the "armies" are different in nature and goals. French are wondering where the fuck did their capital land and launching exploration/scientific expedition with escorts.
The British (at the time at the top of their empire) are using the vast ressources of their colonial empire above and trying to actually colonize the place like madman.
The American are searching for ressources to exploits and fuel their young nation.

>>88519393
>I think having their own empires stretch across several layers might be a good idea
For sure.
Easy to go by the chart too.
Atlantis / Atlan close to the top.
Lemuria seems to be the deepest faction that Colonials contact.

I'm going to be honest with you. The Atlan/Atlantis division was a bad idea and just took up space on the compass that could've went to Mu, the Colonials, or Atlantis. Especially the Colonials because they're meant to be the "middle ground" guys.

>>88519498
Atlantean propagandists at work.

>>88519498
I kinda agree, it would have been better suited to Atlantis's own chart.

>>88519096
colonials are definitely more of a specialised army, given the t-shirt saves on everyone except tanks, and overreliance on ranged damage/artillery

I'd assume Atlanteans would be the newbie friendly army, since you have good armour and survivability across the board, and units are more reliant on innate stats than buffs (lemurians) or synergy (Mu)

>>88519167
Americans should definitely count as cavalry specialists, you have Teddy's Rough Riders which are one of the best units in the game, but also the most expensive.

>>88519689
Americans as mounted infantry is fine, but they aren't the faction that has a heavy cavalry that charges in like a heavy-hitter knight.

>>88519689
Cavalry in a cavernous setting that also has jungles, perilous cliff faces, marshes and large lakes that requires boats suggests to me that Cavalry would be redundant. Even in the Verne novel they had to travel on foot by necessity because of the terrain. Good luck getting horses through green hell, much like vietnam you'll be on foot leading said animal by their reins anyways.

>>88519732
I think once you're in the prehistoric area, things get a lot more open.

>>88519712
From the compass, Americans sound like they are mobile and hit hard at good range, but are made of toilet paper and got bad save, needing cover to survive returning fire.

>>88519744
That seems counter to the general American doctrine of Marching Fire.

>>88519732
>>88519742
We are talking about caverns that feature sky whales and plesiosaur. I think there will be enough space for horses.

>>88519742
Mu get a pass for being pseudo-sassanid mongols who most likely reside in the equivalent of steppes, but other then that I wouldn't expect anything other then pack mules here.

>>88519754
It seem the game faction have very different strategy to their IRL version. Also I don't think American where using marching fire in like 1870~

>>88519754
That was american army, not cavalry, after the battle of San Juan Hill it got proven to be a shit doctrine.

Wrote a setting opening. Please feel free to edit or otherwise add to it.

It is an age of revolution, exploration, and empire. The world has been thrown into disarray by the discovery of deep caverns beneath the Earth, vast underground layers wherein dwell ancient cities and civilisations, long lost to the waters of time.

Men, beasts, and machines now move underground, as the colonial empires of above seek to explore and exploit the newfound territories that lie beneath their feet.

But there are Things that live in the hollow layers of the earth, old dominions, monsters, and worse.

There are the advanced and prosperous city-states of New Mu; the lost kingdom of Atlantis and the Atlan Republic, long whispered of in myth and dreams; the prophecy worshipping priests of Lemuria who eat in the shade of ancient twilight; and below all that is known, amid the ice covered sunken isle of St. Helena; Napoleon broods in silence.

Great cities rise and armies march to challenge the old, as the world above moves to the worlds below. But the darkness is deep, and none know all that dwell beneath.

I think I will!
But for real passive voice should be avoided though.

>>88520732
Oh yes. fantastic.

Wasn't there a TTRPG spinoff or something?

What would communists think about agartha? Just another place that capitalism will ruin, or ideal place to build socialism?

>>88520790
>Just another place that capitalism will ruin, or ideal place to build socialism?
Doesn't matter what they think. Communist leaders will take it for their own.

>>88520773
Are you talking about Journey to the Core? Yeah there was one, it was quite good

>>88520732
Wonder how exactly Napoleon got corrupted. His "shadow of france" title imply he himself is only the shadow of himself.
Maybe the battle of the pyramids actually took place near the pyramids in this world. Maybe the Pyramids are linked to depth (or something in the depth) and Napoleon uncovered something under the great pyramid.
A truth that gnawed at him until his final defeat broke him.

Or maybe he snapped after one to many bad joke at his size, who know.

>>88520822
Maybe it was actualy caused by the British? They used what he found in egypt on secret and sunk st. Helene just to be sure he wont escape

>>88520816
Yeah the author for the "Ineffable Deep" novels contributed, probably why he as been so slow to deliver the sequels. Come on man, I want to know how Charles will react when he finally reach St.Helena.

>>88520843
Reminder that the british decided to add a lead coffin to Napoleon tomb when they gave his body back.
Just to be fucking sure.

2nd REP is bullshit. Not only do airships get bombs but they drop elite units who get buffed as they die, and the last dude is soloing fucking Mu beasts.

French were already nonsense lore wise, but they get airships and Agartha beasts and Sardaukar? Gtfo

>>88520959
Just be thankful Napoleon is banned, man.
We'll get to more French bannings eventually.

>>88520790
Oh God, Marx should just be getting started around now. I think he'll be pointing to all the abuses going on underground of how much capitalism has corrupted us, and then there'll be worker protests, the hired hands will strike, etc. etc. And then you'll have all the anarchists throwing bombs at anyone important.

>>88520985
Have no idea how Napoleon buffing the REP across the table made it through play testing.

Just goes to show this company has always been here to sell models and the game is a distant fourth concern.

Cheers to all the document contributors.

Proposition for Deep Emperor Napoleon Colors. To differentiate between him and normal France he should replace blue with purple on his flag.

>>88521250
APPROVED.

>>88521250
Yes but with colorfull pants. Wouldn't be pre-WW1 france if they didn't have brightly colored (and really nice) uniforms.

BUMP LIMIT APPROACHING
NEW THREAD?!

Brainstorming mechanics, specifically the multi-layer one.
I don't remember any wargames that do multiple game fields, except for Osprey's "A Billion Suns". Gonna look it up this evening.

Methinks it would be best if each scenario had a starting layer and a set amount of accessible layers (or a set range you roll for) that need to be prepared, to lower the number of terrain pieces and tables you'd need. Maybe some layers could be set up as a traditional wargame table and some like Spacehulk/Necromunda.

So for example players pick Scenario A. They decide (or roll) on a starting layer and then roll for additional layers. They get the starting layer of 4 and for additional layers they get 1 above and 2 below. And then the rules for Deep Drunk complicate traversal between layers.

>>88521450
Let's do it when we hit it, just don't forget to put the doc in the OP

>>88521499
>just don't forget to put the doc in the OP
Probably better to put it in the first reply so its not opened by every random passerby.

>>88521515
yeah, that would be best

>>88521576
First thing to decide is the dead centre, I'd say.

Reasonable.

wtf is going on here, and why do I feel drawn to it?

>and why do I feel drawn to it?
Something magic is happening right now that none of us will ever be able to explain

>>88521576
This would be colonisers only, right? So France, Britain, America, the Ottomans, Japan, and maybe some others then.

>>88521715
Yes exactly, only colonial powers and "Surface" (Level 2) dwellers.

>>88521715
Yeah, i think it will allow US to explore both them and mercenaries (when their time comes) more in depth than if we were to combine the two

>>88521686
Also

Add the one that started it all
Definitely dead center, I'd say second row from the bottom. The extremes should be reserved for leader units or elites imo

On it for the next thread's OP.

NEW
>>88521841

>>88521854
Should colonials units that appeared in the first compass be on this one too ? On one hand, well it would make sense since they helped define their faction identity, on the other it would already take space.

>>88521888
I think they should, there's 81 spaces to fill - a plenty big number of units we need to create, even if we reuse the already existing ones

>>88521888
>Should colonials units that appeared in the first compass be on this one too ?
If someone suggests it in the next thread, they'll be included I guess. Otherwise, its a fresh start to see where things go.

>>88521888
I count 19 colonial/human unit types on the chart, excluding leaders. I think it's fine adding them, but it's up to anons. We should also add unit lists to the doc for each faction, would give us a better idea of who needs fleshing out.

>>88521715
For some reason I imagine Germany isn't into this rush, but for some fucking reason Austria-Hungary is going schizophrenic over it.
