    Non Human Provinces

    I have had an idea concerning the maximum population
    sizes of elven and dwarven provinces. The chart on pg
    96 of the rulebook seems tailored to humans and I think
    that there might be a better approach.

    However I do not have the Tuarhviel or Baruk-Azhik
    Players Secrets and before I open my mouth and insert my
    foot (again) it makes sense to ask those of you who have
    these fine items.

    So the question is; is there any pronouncement, other
    than the chart in the rulebook concerning the maximum
    population size of a province based on race ?

    None in either. But, to suggest that an elf or dwarf regent can increase
    province levels as quickly as a human is rather far fetched. Even though elves
    are immortal and breed slower, they don't die naturally, so where growth is
    affected by death in most races, elves do not have this balancing aspect, so
    they probably grow a little slower than dwarves. IMC I only allow one increase
    in province level attempt per year in elven lands, unless the player states
    that they are openly welcoming humans. For my own records, I like to keep
    track of what portion of a province is human. As soon as humans reach 1/3 elf
    populations, then the province loses it's protected source potential for having
    elves.

    Dwarves, IMC, are only allowed 2 attempts per year inside their domains. Same
    strictures.

    Elven regents lose 1 level of loyalty in every neighboring province whenever a
    province level increases due to human influx. The mere attempt to do so costs
    a 1 level loss in province loyalty inside the given province. Dwarves face the
    same situation, merely because they are proud isolationists. They will usually
    warn humans coming into the mountains to stay away, or set up for mining only,
    but any Dwarven regent, IMC, that permits open human settling on his land and
    in his underground cities will likely be facing the anger of his Thanes
    (dwarven equiv. to nobles).

    I would allow other ways to increase the population somewhat fast,

    1. Gate in elves from other worlds. This prolly would requer a high level
    mage regent and that the Cerilian elves are in majority or they will loose
    th elven-benefit for the following 50 years (thats the time an elf needs to
    adjust to a new world).

    2. Atrackt elves from other realms within Cerilia.

    3. See to that male elves and half-elven females reproduce as fast as
    possible (gives more twin births and the mother carries the children
    somewhat shorter time). The biggest drawback is that there aren't that many
    half-elves.

    4. Let other feri-people move in, which wouldn't effect the
    elven-benefits.

    As you all see, you don't need humans ;)
