The old war: year 149AR -round end [Sign up still available]

[Tom]

Basiccly its a kingdom game, you choose a kingdom from the map list below, and bring it glory.

I'm planning it as sort of a free-form thing like arch and tfgs games, But i want some help to see whats good and whats bad first.
I've used a map of europe, but don't think it will follow the geography of europe beyond its basic land shape.

Name:the kingdom of asteria
race: human

Name: Kur-lash remminants
race: kur-lash

Name:united elven states
race: elvish
Taken by LneWlf
Histroy:The united elven states (UES) came about as a result of Kur-lash dissidents landing in the north of the Ilses of Il. dozens of the tiny kingdoms fell in the kur-lashs hands. And so, the last 4 elven kingdoms of the Il came together to fight them. That was 20 years ago, and through they have not pushed the kur-lash up andout of Il, they have halted their advance.

Name: kel-ir tribe

Name: kur-lash empire.Kur-lash alliance. (Typo on map)
race: kur-lash
Claimed by Kilroy
History: the year AR1. The year of the Archo Royalis. The great northern empire of the Skullkier had been at war wiht the second holy elven empire for 20 years. They were desperate. The leadership of the empire turned to a unknown 3rd party for help. In a single horrible night, the Skullkier sacrificed hundreds of thousands to open a huge portal. From the portal came the kur-lash. But they were not loyal to the Skullkier. In a few weeks the Skullkier were extinct, their citys ruined, their empire gone. Only a long crusade involving over 2 dozen nations mangaged to finally stem the flow of the portal and keep the kur-lash in a manageable state. Sinse that time, the former skullkier empire has been a horrible waste land, from which hordes of howling Kur-lash come.
Name: the holy elven empire
race: elvish
Taken by: Drakon
History: The 3rd holy elvish empire came out of the wars following the wars of succession following the death of Emperor Galifray and the collapse of the Second holy elven empire (The date of the fall is widely argued to be AR 124). The high priest Maxion, patriarch of the elven war god Titan rallied the desperate elvish monk-warrior orders, in a battle at the base of Teriarch, his army wiped the army of the pretender Silias from the earth (AR 127). in the aftermath of this battle, the other elven contenders for the throne fell in line behind him. In a summer of campaigning, his army stabilized the northern line against the kur-lash, and turned what looked like the consuming of the western world by kur-lash into a manageable situation. For the last 20 years, the empire has been seen realitive peace, through in the last year, the number of kur-lash hordes hurling themselves against the northern lines has increased.

Name: The tribute of severpol
race: dwarf
Taken by Zakiwi.
History: Fluff: In 52AR a group of small dwarven city-states came under attack by the kur-lash. The dwarves were pushed back into what is now Dark Minsar. Facing a growing number of kur-lash insurgents, the city states decided to join under one banner. With their combined efforts they were able to hold Dark Minsar and push back the kur-lash forces. In 53AR the alliance of city-states was named the tribute of severpol. In 75AR Denalin, the best dwarven general, took power over the government. From then on the tribute of severpol has had a strong military backing. Though a small kingdom, the tribute of severpol is heavily fortified. In recent years the dwarves have began to trade more heavily.

Name: the tribute of iotolia
race: dwarf
Taken by MrCaveHobo
history: The hill countrys of the dwarfs have long been the boarder between the wolfin states to the south and the states of the north. In 118Ar, the last Interdependent Dwarfen state was crushed when at the same time, a elven army marched south, and a wolfen army marched north. The kingdom of the dwarfs were quickly over run, and the state was split in 2, with the tribute of severpol going to the elves, and the tribute of Iotilia going to the wolfin. But the hold over the country has been hard for the wolfier empire. A rebel leader has risen in the far remote holds of the dwarfs, and while the wolfier still control much of the state, they can't get rid of the dwarf leader in the hidden holds.

START YOUR TURNS!

[ShadowSplicer57]

OOC: So... What do we do?

[Tom]

OCC: Hrmm. didnt think about how you would construct a post.

Its a matter of telling me what you want to do with your kingdom in that turn,
you can do a number of things per turn (as its first turn, i wont number the ammount of stuff you can do.)

Eg: Lord egior ordered the construction of several ships, taking his personal guard, he raided to cast of the 50kforums

[ShadowSplicer57]

The Master stared out at his kingdom, evilly plotting to himself. "Prepare me a fleet of warships, for we will be ready for war."

[Tom]

The Master stared out at his kingdom, evilly plotting to himself. "Prepare me a fleet of warships, for we will be ready for war."

For 3 months the shadowvar worked, digging out stone and cutting wood, they employed the best of the architects to build 3 great ships.

At the end of the 3 months they came again to their lord.

We have built you 3 great arks. They must be named and crewed. Each one has hold for thousands of troops, and hundreds of tons of gold.

[ShadowSplicer57]

Without saying a word, the Master neatly sliced the informant's throat open. "Fool. I built those great arks, and should any of you dare take credit for the task!" His eyes darted menacingly across the room to make his intentions clear. "Now, load them up with the finest corsairs and pirates you can find, we are going sailing my people."

[Zawicki]

General Denalin sent an emissary to Patriarch Sillas of the Holy Elven Empire. The emissary came bore a gift, a great two handed sword with a gold hilt. It was to be given to Patriarch Sillas. The emissary also requested that trade routes open up between the tribute of severpol and the holy elven empire. If trade went well, perhaps an alliance could be made to help fight back the kur-lash.

General Denalin also ordered the construction of siege weaponry. A series of watchtowers were to be constructed near the kur-lash alliance border.

OOC: What's our current tech level?

[Tom]

"Fool. I built those great arks, and should any of you dare take credit for the task!" His eyes darted menacingly across
the room to make his intentions clear. "Now, load them up with the finest corsairs and pirates you can find, we are going sailing my people."

The rest of the servants and lackys moved back.

"You were the master builder" they assured the master, looking scared.

Another man came in, he was you general, the master of your army.

"Lord master, our current army stands at 20,000 elite foot troops, and another 20,000 elite fliers on the drakes." If you so wish, i can send half of each to the arks,
or we can call up conscripts, There are also mercanary bands who offer their service"

General Denalin also ordered the construction of siege weaponry. A series of watchtowers were to be constructed near the kur-lash alliance border.

OOC: What's our current tech level?

OCC: Medieval.

The merchants in your kingdom rejoice, and even though you do not know if the treaty will ago ahead, caravans full of goods stream across the boarder back and forth.
A great twenty catipults are built in the capital, and young dwarfs flock to join this new siege corp. [The Siege corps are created, with 2000 young dwarfs it it (your army swells by 2000).

The building of the towers is fraught, as small bands of Kur-lash assult the building areas, and large numbers of dwarfs are tied down. Finally, the dwarf boarder guards find the Kur-lash camps, and
destroy it. but not before 20 dwarfs die. In all 200 kur-lash die. The towers are built, but are considered an unlucky place of posting as they are remote and if they were to be attacked, help would not reach them quickly.

[Zawicki]

A new military camp is to be made just behind the line of the towers (15 minute march, 5 minute run). The camp will be filled with 2,000 national guard. Every tower is to have runner that will signal any attack. Each tower will also have 10 crossbowmen. General Denalin will stay in the new military camp for the first month after it is constructed. A supply line is also established to the new camp.

OCC: from a quick look at the map, the boarder between the Kur-lash alliance and the tribute of Severpol is over a 150 km long. Admitidly, most of that is mountain, where no can get across. Maybe you want serveral camps, or you can edit post.

[Zawicki]

Ah, thanks for the heads up.

Instead there will be 20 smaller camps spread throughout area, each will be manned with 200 troops. Two larger camps are also made, one near Bark Minsar, the other near Krak Drakor (They are still close to the watchtowers). These two camps will each have 1000 men in them. General Denalin will live in each camp for a month (He'll first live in the one near Bark Minsar) to boost troop morale. The smaller camps will get supplies from the two bigger ones.

OOC: 6000 troops in the various camps

General Denalin also ordered that the forest in front of the watchtowers be cut/burned down all the way to the border. The tree cutters/burners would be protected by an additional 20,000 national guard.

The Great forest of Brak-krak is cut for 20 km beyond the foot of the mountains. the wood is used to create the great camps near the citys. The camps guard the 2 mains passes, stopping kur-lash incursion close to the citys of Brak Minsar and Krak Drakor, as well as providing a customs point to taxe the merchants who make the dangerous journey through areas infested with Kur-lash.

As they cut the trees, your troops come across Kur-lash army gathering, it seems to number 20,000 strong. There are minor skirmishs as your scouts work out their numbers and intent, but the main dwarf army waits for your order to meet them in battle. Your builders finish the 2 main supply fortresses, and are able to now get to the smaller towers easy, but many are scared of the kur-lash army gathering.

[Zawicki]

Denalin orders the 10,000 troops to just behind the watchtowers (25 meters, they'll try to hide). He has another 40,000 bolster there numbers (also hidden). He then has the 20 catapults bombard any kur-lash spotted in the Bak-krak plains (formerly Bak-Krak Forest, the catapults will use rocks, or left over wood). Once the kur-lash are within 1 km of the towers, the catapults and men in the towers will pull back to the supply camps. The 50,000 hidden troops will wait for the kur-lash to start attacking the towers or head further into the forest. Then the national guard will unleash their fury on the kur-lash.

The 50,000 hidden troops will wait for the kur-lash to start attacking the towers or head further into the forest. Then the national guard will unleash their fury on the kur-lash.

30,000 Troops from the city march out to re-enforce the troops in the field. the catapults are set up in the towers, where they will get the best field of vision, and begin to bombard the kur-lash camp. The kur-lash begin to gather, and it seems that there are many more than you had thought. Revised estimates put the number at 80,000. you troops gather in groups in the main area where the kur-lash will attack. (The area around krak-drakor) the 8 catapults with in range (the towers are after all spread across a boarder of a 150 Kim) take a heavy toll on the enemy as they advance. the dwarfs feild them selves in regiments around the area leading up to the towers, which is also the path to the city (The towers are set up in a such away as that they are only accsessable from the dwarf side of the border).

The kur-lash charge in, unaware of the dwarf army waiting for them.

as the kur-lash get to the first set of towers, the dwarfs there fall back, skirmishing wiht the kur-lash, and the towers are burnt. the kur-lash lose all caution, and attack wildly.

Here the dwarfs spring the ambush, and the Kur-lash army is destroied, as the national guard attack, and they are slaughtered.

in all, 83,000 kur-lash die, and 4000 dwarfs.

[Zawicki]

After giving a speech to the surviving soldiers, Denalin orders the reconstruction of the towers. He also permanently places the catapults in the towers (a spotter and a few crossbowmen will also be in the tower) A program is then setup to help identify dead soldiers and return them to their families, unidentifiable soldiers a buried where they died. The troops who fought in the battle are sent home for a weeks rest.

News of the great victory is sent to all of the major cities. It glorifies the victory against the kur-lash and tells of how the savages were no match for the tribute of severpol.

[DrakonTheNightLord]

Well. Most interesting. The Patriach sends diplomats to Asteria and Ilsimate, to engage in trade and mutual security alliance treaties.

The Patriach sends greetings to <whoever Hobo is playing as> and offers his support <to either crush or support the rebels>... for a price.

The Patriach accepts the offer of the Dwarf Denalin, granting the dwarven traders 10 years free of merchant tax. He follows this up with a swift mutual security pact for the two nations, proposing a united front against the Kur-Lash threat. The Patriach returns a silver flower to the General, as return for his gift.

Finally the Patriach contacts the Kur-Lash Alliance, and requests them to cease their war to pave way for a peaceful partnership.

The Patriach sends forth the Order of the Bloody Sword to camp and enforce Los-Amos, tasking them to rule the Southlands in the name of the Patriach. They will be responsible for growth in economy and military in that sector.

The Order of the Bloody Sun will rule the Eastlands, they will be based in Kel-Thon.

All other military forces will stay at their stations, those not embroiled in immediate conflict must double as Engineers - Elves that improve the farmland by building irrigations, and all manner of things. The Empire will be self sufficient.

Lastly, the Patriarch orders a call to arms to those willing and free (non-labourers, basically children coming of age) to come to the capital and become soldiers of both the ground and sea.

[SGS]

General Liqit looks upon the maps as sees many opportunities, he calls upon he officers and gives them his orders.

"Send emissaries to the Wulfen empire, the Tribute of Severpol, and the Elven tribes of Uria. Bring the leaders each a silver war sword as a sign of good faith and request trade with them."

"Send an emissary to the Kharnate of Iron, tell them we can supply them with extra weapons and arms for the usual price, and also good luck in all their battles."

"As for our friends in the south. Send the forces of chief Malcor to the border of the Illia kingdom (200,000 men) and have them set up any mobile siege weapons they can make, but remind them that they're going to move out very soon."

"Then send Tejir's forces to the border of the Malcidonian empire (200,000 men), have then set up fortifications. Mobile siege weapons and stationary defenses should be their priority. They have access to whatever materials they should find along the way."

"Keep my own forces in reserve, we may well need them soon enough."

[Zawicki]

Denalin gladly accepts the silver flower.

He also accepts the silver sword, although it is not crafted as well as a dwarf, it is the finest example of a sword he has seen from a human. A silver axe is sent back. Denalin requests that trade routes open up between their countries.

Denalin also forms a committee to create and maintain trade laws. These ensure the protection of the traders and make sure that the countries does not trade away too many resources.

An diplomat is sent to the elves of uria. Several decorated arrows are sent as gifts. The diplomat is to request that trade routes open and for peace between the countries.

[isthatmycow]

Seeing that he must build an army, as he is suspects war, Lord Cow quickly decreed that three armies, eeach composing 30,000 men, must be levied.

He also asks tha diplomats be sent to hte united elven empire, and the kharnate of steel, to work out trade agreements, he also has Two suits of the finest blued steel sent to thier leaders as an act of good faith.

(not wholly sure how it's done, so help me out)

Priests pick through the battlefield, they separate the dwarf corpses from those of the kur-lash. he kur-lash bodies are carted out into the now cut down forest, and a great bon-fire is set, and it is 3 days before the last of the corpses are burnt.

The dwarf corpses are looked over, and identified as much as possible, when all is done, there are over 100 dead dwarfs who cannot be identified, and so a mausoleum is built in a cave near where the battle took place.

In the citys of the dwarfs, mighty crowds turn out to see the return of the armies, and there is much cheering.
But there is grumbling amongst some troops and elements of the priest guilds (namely the priests of certain nature gods) that 4000 dwarfs wouldnt have died if you hadnt cut down that forest.

The kingdom of Asteria and the republic of ilsimate are weary of the offers sent by the Elven empire, they remember the invasion attempts by the elves over 50 years ago, both countrys form a united front and demand a better offer before they will accept an trade alliance, and they shoot down any hope of a military alliance.

The envoy to the kur-lash alliance is ambushed 2 hours after he crosses over the fortress line into the kur-lash alliance lands, and only one surviver brings word back to you of the ambush by a great army of kur-lash.

The bloody sword takes over the southern province of Los-amos based on your orders, in great culls they destroy the country side, rooting out what they call the 'heathern' peasants, tens of thousands pour over into Asteria, and a small guerrilla army fights the bloody sword, killing dozens of soldiers in ambushes.

Trade with the tribute of severpol begins, and great masses of goods cross the border each day.

Many regiments go on strike when you order them to double as engineers, they claim that is the job of the peasent class, and not the work for proud warriors. This is solved by your levie. over 50,000 peasents gather to your call, and your generals train them as an engineer corp, but there is no improvement to the land at the time as your men are still training.

The bloody sun rules in the east, this, the elf heartland, welcomes them, and the bloody sun ranks swell with new recruits. (5000 join the bloody suns).


General Liqit looks upon the maps as sees many opportunities, he calls upon he officers and gives them his orders.

"Send emissaries to the Wulfen empire, the Tribute of Severpol, and the Elven tribes of Uria. Bring the leaders each a silver war sword as a sign of good faith and request trade with them."

"Keep my own forces in reserve, we may well need them soon enough."

the Wulfier empire agrees to your terms, and as a gift in return sends a 1000 wolfen troops to act as your body guard.

The elves of uria reject your trade terms, and demand that you vacate the lands you stole from them when your people came to these lands.

You send 200,000 men under malkor to the boarders of the Kingdom of Liear (I presume thats what you mean.), the kingdom mobalises its own forces, and an army of 180,000 faces you across the boarder. This army includes the world renowned Liear magiers. A young warrior invents a new weapon, he attaches a light ballisitia to a chariot, creating a mobile light siege weapon.

Your army sent to the boarder of the Macidonian empire goes less well. They cannot think of how to build seige weapon as your people have always been nomads, and have had no need for those weapons, and their static defenses are woefully inadequate.

The Macidonians marshel an army to oppose you, and the great hopilites march. An army over 250,000 wait for you to attack, and they build great defenses.


Denalin gladly accepts the silver flower.

He also accepts the silver sword, although it is not crafted as well as a dwarf, it is the finest example of a sword he has seen from a human. A silver axe is sent back. Denalin requests that trade routes open up between their countries.

Denalin also forms a committee to create and maintain trade laws. These ensure the protection of the traders and make sure that the countries does not trade away too many resources.

An diplomat is sent to the elves of uria. Several decorated arrows are sent as gifts. The diplomat is to request that trade routes open and for peace between the countries.

Trade opens up between you and the Kharnate of steel. Dwarfs open mines in several places in that country. You set up trade laws, and your merchants celebrate, happy at the trade protection you offer them. Other countys merchants are less happy, as these new laws limit their profits.

The elves of Uria are displeased with you trade alliance with the Kharnate of steel, and only agree to a mutual non-aggression pact.


Seeing that he must build an army, as he is suspects war, Lord Cow quickly decreed that three armies, eeach composing 30,000 men, must be levied.

He also asks tha diplomats be sent to hte united elven empire, and the kharnate of steel, to work out trade agreements, he also has Two suits of the finest blued steel sent to thier leaders as an act of good faith.

(not wholly sure how it's done, so help me out)
your order a levy of young men, and another 90,000 men form armys, through they are in training, and are not very good soldiers. Trade opens up between you and your brothers Kharnate.

OCC: i don't know what you mean by the united elven empire, theres no such thing. (Maybe you mean the holy elven empire?)

[SGS]

Liqit looks at the reports and sighs, he would need help. So a messenger was sent to the Forexian Holds with this message.

"Good people of the Shadowvar, we of the Kharnate of Steel would like your assistance in destroying the vile Macidonian empire, in return we promise are support in the destruction of your enemies in Sardina and pledge our support if you decide to attack the Mesain republic."

[Zawicki]

Denalin addresses those who see the battle as an unnecessary sacrifice. "It was only a matter of time before the kur-lash attacked us, and I fear they will try to do it again. If the forest had not been burned we would have never known the attack was even coming! For those who lost loved ones, I am greatly sorry. But, the kur0lash must not get away with such atrocities. Nearly 100 years ago the drove us out of our homelands. Now they begin to threaten our new home. We must rally and fight back. We must take back our homelands for the glory of this country. If you truly love your country and it's people, join me in a campaign to take back what was once ours!"

Denalin sends a message to the Patriarch of the Holy Elven Empire. The message reads "In the coming months my armies will start a campaign to take back our lands from the kur-lash. I would like you and you armies to join this campaign. The kur-lash have killed many of your people and I know your people want revenge. If you choose to decline our relationship shall not affected."

[ShadowSplicer57]

The Master was very straightforward and luckily in a merciful mood on the day the Kharnate Messenger arrived. Upon entering the room, a guard's knife was pressed to his throat. After hearing him out, The Master motioned an order and the knife quickly shot down and cut loose the messenger's hand. "You were very lucky, as is your nation. Send them this message in response: I will attack the Macidonians with you at my side. However, do tell your lord of his simple mistakes. One never promises anything that will one day lead to betrayal, I will fight with your armies this time, but don't think that saves you from later encounters. And finally, we are not the 'good people of Shadowvar'. They are not even people, it is me, The Master of Shadowvar that you should address." He grabbed the missing hand from the floor and added with a wicked smile, "Oh, and I think this was yours." And with that the messenger was beckoned out the door.

When the messenger had left, he ordered that the Arks with their elite warriors go on pirating raids around the island's coast, their orders were to plunder whatever they could and also protect from any invaders. He also commissioned for 20,000 more warriors to go to the Kharnate of Steel's campaign against the Macidonians. The Master himself would go with them, eager to taint the edge of his blade with more than petty King's servants.

The crowds cheer. And from that comes a new order. The dwarfish stone wardens are born. They are a para-military group, dedicated to taking the fight to the enemy.
A few days after your speech, a representative of them comes to your palace asking for official recognition of their order.

your messenger goes into the holy elven empire. As he goes through Kel-thon, he makes contact with the elvish order of the bloody sun. Their grandmaster is moved by the news of a dwarf offensive, and in what could be seen as a rash Move he gathers his army, and marches into The tribute of serverpol to join up with the dwarfs for the offensive.

(The whole of the order of the bloody sun (17,000 elves at arms) has marched into serverpol territory, it is no longer under the control of the holy elven empire, through it is not under the control of the Dwarfs either)


The Master was very straightforward and luckily in a merciful mood on the day the Kharnate Messenger arrived. Upon entering the room, a guard's knife was pressed to his throat.

OCC: Good work SS57! playing your character to a T

The warriors are recruited, they are armed with the best weapons, and given the best Armour, but their training takes a long time (you can't use them till next turn).

The troops under your command are happy that you are with them, and in a series of raids, they loot several islands, and capture over 20 merchant ships.

[Zawicki]

Denalin acknowledges the stone wardens. He is happy to have any man willing to fight for what is right.

He then orders that 150,000 national guard, 15,000 wolfiers, and 10 of the catapults be sent to Bark Minsar. There they will meet the elvish forces and begin marching against the kur-lash alliance. Denalin will be marching with the troops and will participate in any battles.

This is a wolfier.

OCC: just to note, the wolfier are troops from the wolfier empire.

Also, as you said, the catipults were put permanently in the towers.
---------
Your army meets up with the forces of the elves.

As you come near, the grand master of the bloody sun rides to you.

"Hello good dwarf, i am master Thelos of the bloody sun, and i am here to make war on the kur-lash, Patriarch sillias would have peace made with them, but the kur-lash must be destroyed. Please note, my forces are not under your control, but my own, i am an allied force, not a vassel."


He also asks tha diplomats be sent to hte united elven empire, and the kharnate of steel, to work out trade agreements, he also has Two suits of the finest blued steel sent to thier leaders as an act of good faith.

Will have to wait fro drakon to post.

[Zawicki]

Fine, the catapults will stay on the towers. I'll have the siege corps make 20 more (I know that they won't be ready for the campaign)

"Hello Thelos. I fully realize you are here for your people. Now let's get the diplomatic crap out of the way right now, do you wish for any land or riches from this campaign, or simply to rid your people of the kur-lash?"

"There is one thing only which we want, and that is the grail of the redeemer. But i cannot speak for the patriarch."

[SGS]

Liqit smiles at the news of reinforcements and decides a few things

First, send plans on how to make this mobile ballisitia to the forces at the Macidonian border, tell them to produce these weapons while they wait on the Shadowvar to arrive.

Second, Send these plans to all major camps, tell them that any who can bring us improvements for this weapon, or even new weapons, will be rewarded.

Third, call upon the people of the land to raise 10,000 warrior and send out 1,000 of Liqits own riders to establish training camps to teach these new warriors the ways of combat.

[Zawicki]

"I do not know what the grail of the redeemer is, so take it when you find."

Denalin then turned to his officers, "I want 75,000 men equipped with a crossbow and long sword. 50,000 shall be equipped shields and axes. The remaining 25,000 shall use war hammers and pole arms. Every regiment will have a mix of these three types of load outs. The wolfier troops may choose their own equipment. Evenly distribute them in the regiments too. We march in 5 days."

OOC: How big are the stone wardens, and is it too late for them to join the campaign?

OCC: the stone wardens will fight, but they are a para-military group, just like the bloody sun. i'm going to create a special close up campaign map, where you can more micromanage your forces in this up coming campaign, So don't expect any more battles this round. (This is more to zakawi, and maybe anyone elce getting ready for a big campaign, You can get troops in position, just no actual battles/what ever this round(OMG i'm rambling))

-----------
The wolfier captain came to you.

"Lord" he said bowing. "My battle brothers find it dis respectable that you separate us from each other"

your warriors train, and many are recruited from the normadic tribes that make up your nation.

One of your warriors kills a Macidonian cataphrat and steels his heavy Armour. he works at it, and horse Armour is created.

[Zawicki]

"I meant no disrespect to you and your men. By putting them with the different regiments we have a more effective army. Your men are the best close combat troops I have, and I want all of my regiments to have their support. You have direct command of your troops. All I ask is that your men be ready to fight if the kur-lash get too close to my regiments."

BY ORDER OF THE PATRIACH, AND THE HOLY ORDER

1. The goal of the armed forces of the Empire is to protect the denizens of the Empire, by sword or by using tools to better the land - Those that do not accept the dual role of Soldier and Engineer are deemed heretics to the Cause and are rebels to the Holy Empire of the Elves.

2. CALL TO ARMS: The Empire marches now to deal with the Kur-Lash heathens once and for all alongside the Dwarves of Severpol, any willing and able must come to the capital to augment the Imperial Army.

3. Any mistreatment of the peasantry by the hands of their governing bodies will be punished by the Inquisition of the Faith.

Patriach Sillas, Holy Elvish Empire.

The Patriarch accepts the offer of trade with... Cow. Provided that their navy blockade all Kur-Lash assets and invade the Kur-Lash Alliance no sooner than next month.

[isthatmycow]

By order of the Emperor of The Kharnate of Iron.

The Glorious Emperor has declared a state of war on the Kur-lash Remnants. All citizens are called upon to join and serve in this glorious war.


......


I call upon the Kharnate Navy to blockade the ports and merchant vessels of the Kur-lash

I call for 100,000 men to be trained and levied, I call for the the feudal lords of the realm to join this war, and form units of their own and trian.

[SGS]

General Liqit enjoys these new developments then sends out a few new messages.

To all people in the Kharnate of Steel
1. "We march to war, the armies of the vile Macidonians and their allies must be destroyed in order for us to be secure. I ask you now, any and all willing to fight, to bring wealth and safety to the Kharnate, raise your blades and report to the nearest training centers. We shall be victorious."
2. "I am distributing plans for this new horse armour to all smiths in the region, I request that you make as many as you can and supply them to our forces in the south."

To the Wolfier empire
"Emperor of the Wolfier, I ask for any support you can spare in the Kharnate's war against the Macidonians. If you wish to remain out of this conflict then I will respect your decision. If you would like compensation for this deed then ask and we shall make terms."

Sure that these will reach their targets Liqit puts on his wargear and finds his horse, clad in new armour, then heads towards the Leiar border, he'd been away from battle for far too long.

There are massive riots in the empire as you declare all elven soldiers not willing to comply with the order to become engineers. After 3 days or rioting, the soldiers accept the order. through they now hate you.

There is much celerbration in the empire as word of your new offensive spreads. Tens of thousands rush to join the army.

In the south the leader of the bloody sword is arrested. He is publicly executed. The rebellion ends. The Bloody swords get a new leader, one who is loyal and not hated by the peasents.

OCC: the kur-lash remnants are on the other side of the old world cow.. your navy can't get to the kur-lash, there are other countrys in the way.

100,000 more men are trained, and your army swells.

General Liqit enjoys these new developments then sends out a few new messages.

The war will stat next round, as i need to make a campaign.

Your army, now has horse armour in places, but you don't have enough iron and other metals to make it universal.

The wolfier leader accepts the preposal and promices to launch an invasion of the macidonian empire.
NOTE TO ALL. READ THE MAP. YOU CAN'T JUST SEND YOUR ARMY PLACES, YOU NEED TO HAVE TREATYS TO GO THROUGH OTHER COUNTRYS,

[DrakonTheNightLord]

The Patriarch orders that supplies be stockpiled for a massive and long campaign, the soldiers will be divided by into Infantry, Cavalry, Archers, and Siege units evenly.

Once all is ready and trained, the Ordos Titan and the Grand Invasion force will march North, led by the Patriarch himself, placing the Inquisition in control.

OOC: Basically giving you time to set up a campaign here.

[SGS]

Liqit sees the situation on the Leiar front and sends a messenger to the Kharnate of Iron.

"Brother, I would like your assistance, we believe that the kingdom of Leiar will launch a assault as our attack on the Macidonians begins. Your support in this campaign will be greatly appreciated. If you require compensation then we can negotiate."

[Zawicki]

Denalin sends a letter to the Patriarch (or talks to him if he is at Bark Minsar) "Do you wish to take back any land or wealth from this campaign. If so, it would be best to decide this now. I would not want our armies to turn on each other over a dispute."

[DrakonTheNightLord]

Unto the General of Severpol, the Patriarch of the Holy Elven Empire sends greetings.

Mighty General, our joint campaign against the Kur-Lash is aimed at the destruction of the threat that has plagues us for so long. It is not for wealth or glory, but for regional peace and security.

However...

Our side expects that whatever land we capture to be ours, and whatever land your side captures to be yours, territory and loot gained by a joint assault will be divided equally.


Victory and Prosperity!

[Kilroy]

I'll play as the Kur-Lash Empire

[Tom]

I'll play as the Kur-Lash Empire
:twisted: If you so please. :twisted:


I'll have fluff in a little bit, as well as a PM with some secret infomation 8)

[Zawicki]

"I agree to your way to divide the conquered lands. Now, how many military forces are you bringing on the campaign. I have pledged more than 130,000 troops."

[DrakonTheNightLord]

"I can bring a force considerably huger than that. At the very least 300,000 warriors. Now I have a task for you, friend. The Elves of the West hold no sway on the northern powers, you however, have at least good standings with them. See if you can bring them to our side against the Kur-Lash. Then victory will be assured."


OOC: Kilroy, we're about to kick your ass, of course, us being pals, we could all be pally and team up. You just have to kill some of your people and give us some land, then we're good. :P

[Kilroy]

OOC: I sent a response to you guys, through diplomat, though I think the letter got lost up your arse!

Sethoth snarled when he heard the weak races of the north were planning an invasion. He called his deathguard to him. "Spawn more warriors" the dragon said "Call them forth from the void, so that we may crush the interlopers. Tell Deathguard Krull, he may take 5 other Deathguard and 100,000 warriors to bring havoc to the elves. Tell them to burn, loot and steal, but as soon as the elves bring soldiers to fight our army, they are to slink back into the shadows and the trees."

OCC: which elven state, there are 2 around you.

BTW, drakons boarder has a huge line of fortresses at it. attacking it might not be the best option.

[Kilroy]

OOC: I am attacking Drakon, but guerilla warfare, so I`ll be going around said castles.

[Tom]

Under the master control of the 6 skullguard, the Kur-lash try to sneak past the line of fortresses. Using the cover of night, as well as massive divisional attacks, Krull and 20,000 kur-lash finally manage to get past the line of fortress, the first time in years A Kur-lash has. They make a bases in the hills, and there they begin to raid the towns and villages of the elves.

[LneWlf]

Hmmm guess I'll give it a go tom; can I take the United Elven States?

Also; update on what I need to do/what's going on? :P

[Zawicki]

"I do not wish to share the spoils of war with them. Together we have nearly 600,000 skilled men. The kur-lash are savages. I do not wish to share my homeland with anyone who does not need it. If you wish to split your land with them then go ahead. I will not give away my land to an ally who we do not need."

Denalin will spend the rest of his time before the campaign mingling with his men. Drinking beers, swapping stories, and boosting their morale.

EDIT: The holy elven empire (I believe that's what you meant) is taken. Just read the thread, it's not that long.

[SGS]

With no word from the Kharnate of Iron, Liqit must reinforce the Leiar border, calling 50,000 riders from his capital camp, also he expects his training camps to continue producing troops and sending them to the capital camp for deployment.

[Tom]

Hmmm guess I'll give it a go tom; can I take the United Elven States?

The Patriarch orders the Inquisition to deal with the insurgent Kur-Lash, and for the campaign to begin.

[LneWlf]

Lord Lexcen orders a meeting of his advisers, with reports on enemy forces movement, friendly forces, and information regarding current relationships with bordering states. He also requests the status of the military forces, in regards to their preparedness for sudden deployment.

The Leader of the inquisition comes to you.

"Sir, the enemy numbers many, we require a large army to over whelm them"

Lord Lexcen orders a meeting of his advisers, with reports on enemy forces movement, friendly forces, and information regarding current relationships with bordering states. He also requests the status of the military forces, in regards to their preparedness for sudden deployment.

Your militay advisers come to you.

"Our armed forces are in 2 armys, each is a contingent of 20,000 spearmen, a regiment of cavalry numbering 10,000 as well as a legion of archers numbering 10,000. They stand ready to march, as they often have to do so"

your diplomats come to you.

"our relations with the southern tribes are good, they to fight the kur-lash, but in recent years they have slackened in the fight. "

[Zawicki]

General Denalin made an announcement, "Prepare yourselves, tomorrow the kur-lash shall face our wrath!"

Denalin then turned to one of his officers "Send a message to the stone wardens and tell them we leave tomorrow, they are more than welcome to join us on this great crusade. Also, make sure that the newly built catapults are with us when we leave tomorrow."

[DrakonTheNightLord]

"Very well Inquisitor, take the Ordos Titan with you. And whatever conscripts you can find in the countryside. After that, I want you to get to building a great wall to enclose the Empire so that nothing like this happens again."

[SGS]

Thunderfoot and his troops are to report to the Leiar border at once with whatever weapons and armour they care to bring.

[Kilroy]

Through dark sorceries, Sephoth sends a message to Krull.
"The elves will be upon you're position soon! Gather the Kur-lash back to the hill, and gather as much food as you can! You are to hold the hill at all cost Krull!"

He stops speaking to his third greatest general and finds his greatest amongst the masses. "Deathguard Xeroth! The time has come to take the puny elfling fortresses. Gather 60 Deathguard to yourself, with the exception of Druthall, Kolr, and Devaine. You are to take six million Kur-lash and to take every elf fortress while they besiege The Hill, with the siege gear we built over the last month."

In the darkness of The Gate, Sethoth plotted evilly.

[LneWlf]

Lexcen calls to his advisors, asking for news of war in other countries, and to which of his borders the enemies come from, and which are most deadly.

OOC: Hmm... Map is no longer appearing to me... Anyone else have this problem?

[Zawicki]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

You look for the stone wardens, but they are no where to be found, it seems they left early.


"Very well Inquisitor, take the Ordos Titan with you. And whatever conscripts you can find in the countryside. After that, I want you to get to building a great wall to enclose the Empire so that nothing like this happens again."

A wall begins to srping up, but hundreds die as kurlash make raids.

The lord inquisitor makes haste with the ordos Titan and 40,000 conscripts.

Thunderfoot and his troops are to report to the Leiar border at once with whatever weapons and armour they care to bring.

Yes siruh!

Your armys swarm south, hundreds of thousands die as you assult the fortresses, and you break the line in places. Much of the fortress line is now in your hands.

[Zawicki]

Whenever you have the new map up start marching my men to war.

[Tom]

[LneWlf]

Sorry Tom I'm going to have to pull; just don't have the time. My sincerest apologies (school is just killing me, along with work), I do hope that there will be a chance to rejoin in the future (or hit up another one of your games).

[Tom]

[Tom]

Ok. i want people who are doing toe invasions to do something for me. Split up your troops into armys, and tel me whos in these armys/how many there are. So i can place them on the map.

[SGS]

West:
290,000 riders
and I was supposed to get 2,000 troops from SS's dictatorship and reinforcements from the Wolfier

East:
310,000 riders
2,000 Ogre troops
1,000 Wolfier body guards

As you dont want just want big army invading, all bunched up, you'll be out manovered. you want smaller units taking objectives.

[SGS]

Ok, so would something like this be good?

West:
1st division: 100,000 riders
2nd division: 100,000 riders
3rd division: 90,000 riders, 2,000 shadowvar (not sure if I get to assign them, but just in case)


East:
1st division: 100,000 riders, 1,000 wolfier
2nd division: 100,000 riders, 2,000 ogres
3rd division: 110,000 riders

15,000 Wolfiers armed to the teeth for close combat.

Task Force 1: 37,500 National guard with a crossbow and long sword, 25,000 with a shield and axe, 12,500 with a warhammer and polearm, 10 catapults. All are wearing medium armor. Catapults use grape shot against lightly armored targets, and heavy boulders against heavily armored targets.

Task Force 2: Same as number one.

IIRC, the stone wardens and the other elvish group are independent.

[DrakonTheNightLord]

500,000 Soldiers 60% Infantry. 10% Cavalry, 30% Siege weapons.

All of them will be grouped into groups of 10,000 called Legions.

And I need a list of generals to pick from if I'm going to place any to command :\

Now drakon has a problem, as he has major areas to fight in, so i'll talk to him, and we'll sort his forces out.
