Now with notes from Arc nine years later!
Level of Power: Empire (? starting points)
Empire Population: 30 million = 30 SP (+15 Industry) + 1.2 million
Infrastructure:
Industry: 28 production points/month + 15 Population (28 sp)

Research: 40 research/year (40 sp)

There have been so many OOB revisions due to rules changes I can no longer tell if this is correct. But this is what my past self trusted. Let's hope that Past Me had good judgement.
Current to December, 1006:
Stockpiles:

Upkeep for 1006 (Paid):

This is completely wrong for 1007, but it's not getting done if there's no more yearly upkeep.

Nobody ever called me on it to my face, but holy shit. There's so many beautiful snowflakes in here I can't see anything but a dizzying whitespace. I just know this spot is where it started. What was I thinking?

I have no idea what the creature points mean. I can't tell if I spent some of them, all of them or none of them.
Template Points Available: 50
Templates:
Infantry:
Minotaurs (Native Population) (Class V)
+2 Strength
+1 Speed
+2 Toughness
Cost: 0
I get that the island was a minotaur island, but it would've worked way better if I'd had a more normal base population with all these creatures filling in around it. An actual kitchen sink of fantasy stuff, some more traditional and some radical, instead of being fully poised on the extreme end of the scale.
Avians (Class V) - Infantry
+3 Advanced Mobility: Flight
+1 Stealth
+1 Toughness
Template Cost: 1
Batch Cost: 30
I had a very strange physical description for them despite the name implying bird-like, trying way too hard to be different for the sake of being different. They were some kind of pterodactyl folks. Though that's actually kinda cool as a concept now that I think about it.
Schecks (Class V) - Infantry
+2 Speed
+1 Agility
+1 Toughness
+1 Strength
Cost: 1
batch Cost: 30
Lizard/dinosaur folks. Pretty traditional fantasy stock really, though I notice I made everything the highest class it could be whether or not the concept demanded it.
Vehicle Types:
Landwyrm (Class V) - Titan - Rare
+3 Stoneskin
+1 Ranged Attack (Fwoosh!)
+1 Melee
Cost: 1
Batch Cost: 60
This I think was supposed to be some kind of huge dinosaur, but now I can't help but think of it as a giant scaled fire-breathing serpentine wurm out of norse myth. I'm cool with that.
Extremely Big And Angry Armour-Plated Thing(Class VII) - Rare
Lesser Titan (1 per 10)
+1 Agility
+1 Speed
+3 Stoneskin
+2 Regeneration
+1 Strength
Batch Cost: 112
I have no idea where this was supposed to fit in, militarily or thematically. It looks like at some point during one of the OOB re-writes I went 'Let's have a giant...thing! That's rare and expensive!' and put no effort into it. Losing some confidence in Past Self here.
Rhino Cav (Class V)

I guess this one is layered down in metal plates and has a howdah on its back with mages. Sure. OK.
2x Landwyrm

+3 Stoneskin
+1 Ranged Attack (Fwoosh!)
+1 Strength

+1 Sildron Enhanced Armor (Shields)
+1 Mindex Scrying
Batch Cost: 35 PP
Total Cost: 70 PP
Upkeep: 0 Ind, 2 WU, 6 Ether
I remember having this idea similar to a lot of fantasy where intelligence isn't rare at all and these sorts of things didn't need handlers. Even so, how does this work?

Why is this exactly like the other cavalry except with one more creature ability? I get the impression it was because 'Not everything should be Class V'. Not getting super points for the effort there, past self.

This navy was crash-built in a panic at the onset of the Island Crisis to move my armies across the ocean. If any of it survives, it may wind up ferrying me across the stars. Appropriately fantastical I suppose.

Magic Users
Rhodos the Grey
Rhodos remained a hero independent of my national OOB. My records for him are pretty terrible, but they exist. I don't actually know how that's supposed to work with the new national hero character buiness.

I don't even know who this is. That seems particularly awful when they're supposed to be an unequalled paragon of magic that often dictates the fates of nations. And no, it's not Savan Lisk. It was totally in my half-builds and I just flubbed on character development.

I'll be honest. I have no idea how much these dragons actually cost. At some point I paid for them but there were never any rules for Mythical Creatures that I can remember, except each one cost template points. I don't even know the base cost for a Gigantic Flyer. Lost to the ages. All I can say is that sure is a lot of numbers.
