Ruling Demi-Human Provinces

[JD Lail]

Is there any reason that when a Demi-Human rules a province that
the increase in population must be of his race ? This would solve
the conumdrum of "where did all of these dwarves come from and
why weren't they here last year when we really needed them" that
comes up from time to time.

Also it has been mentioned that some Elvish Forests have apparent
drops in the source level when theoretically Elves don't cause
this by their prescence. Perhaps this could represent the Non-elves
that are in the forest, at least in part.

Interesting. I wonder how the others would answer this. As to me, I wou=

think so. Elvish source holdings would be affected by non-elves in their
territory. But I wonder.

Only the usual (animosities etc. that develop in a multiethnic/-cultural
society). So, guess what that means? It means you role play it: encouraging
settlers to believe (whether correctly or not) that they'll be given a fair
shake in your country, regardless of their alien backround. Convincing your
own people that it's wise to let these strange barbarians in. Dealing with
the inevitable conflicts, etc. Sounds like an interesting idea. Eventually,
you get Canada, and get to role-play national fragmentation and the
Balkanization of your country (Hmmmn. . .the Balkans. . .great place to get
game ideas from, but I wouldn't wanna live there.)

Oh, one more remark on this; I think it would be particularly hard, though,
to convince any specific nation that they ought to share, considering
Cerilian history (remember, it was the initial decision by the Elves and
Dwarves to share the continent that resulted in it going to hell, from
their point of view. They're unlikely to want to "make the same mistake
twice" and let humans into their last few strongholds.)

It depends on what other races lives there, let say they are other elves
(half-elves), kentaurs, .... and druids (yuppz not a race, but a class), then
I wouldn't rule any changes in the population/source rule. But races as humans
dwarves, goblins would automatically change the source.

by they way, something what I have wondered about is why the "population" is
so low for goblins, I thought they did breed atleast as much as humans if not
more... so shouldn't it be quite usual with goblin provinces with the values
7/0 then 1/6.
Maybe I have let the goblins be more civilizaced than others (farming,
building cities and so on), but I have a feeling that they should have
controll over more of the continent than they have now (lowering the number of
human settlements).
