Aug 17, 2004 2:56:56 Has anyone here created any Ansalon fiefdom using the rules found in Fields of Blood? I just got the book a week ago and I am very please with it. Once I finish reading the book and I’m certain I’ve master the rules I plan to create Dragonlance fiefdoms (realms) and stats for their armies. But if anyone else have done so please share, I'll be curious to compare notes.

Aside from an excellent Mass Combat system it has great realm management rules.

Aug 19, 2004 19:13:01 Sorry, dude. The only regent realm building I've done has been in that old Birthright computer game...and that's it. Supposedly War of the Lance will have mass combat rules or something, I thought. I might just be smoking crack.

But as far as Fields of Blood goes...I can't help ya. Sorry.

Aug 19, 2004 19:16:11 I just picked up the book, and on the surface it reminds me alot of the realm rules in Birthright, especially since there's a section on realm magic. Of course, the rules are much more in depth than the Birthright rules ...

I actually could have used this book a few months back, as at that time in my campaign there were 2 PCs that acquired a tract of land and were interested in developing it further. Now that I've got a book it may be interesting to do a realm writeup for this little swath of territory and see if I can't get my PCs interested in some nation building.

Aug 19, 2004 21:23:22 I have an easy answer to this.

What I have done is I have in a fashion, converted 5th edition Warhammer to meet my DragonLance needs. From there, I have been able to field army's complete with core, special, and unique units and have a sense of history to each unit as well.

In a nutshell, this is what I have. On the left is the DragonLance Army and unit, and on it's right, the Warhammer equivelant.

Knights of Solamnia=Bretonnia
***Knights of the Rose= Grail Knights
***Knights of the Sword= Questing Knights
***Knights of the Crown= Knights of the Realm

Gnomes= I stole parts from both the EMPIRE and DWARFS to suit the Gnomes. Gnomes can work for any country that can hire them, but normally for Ergoth and Bretonnia
***Gnome Cannon= Dogs of War Field Cannon
***Catapult (does not need a conversion)
***Repeater Bolt Thrower=RBT from Dragonlance (one of the few contraptions that actually works well!!")
***Death Rocket (from the Chaos Dwarf Book)
***Flame Cannon (from dwarfs)
***Hellblaster Volley Gun (empire)
***Organ Gun (dwarfs)
***War Wagon (empire)
some more out there, don't feel like drawing them out right now

Qualienesti Elfs= Some parts from the High Elfs and Wood Elfs and Dark Elfs

***Wildrunners= Silver Helms

more to come latter.
