It's time to finally start the game. :)

Note:

You will be making strategic decisions here, so you wont be able to personaly check how your every order is executed and you can (by example) lead directly only one army (if you decide not to send some general in your place instead, that is).  

I have edited my last post in RP discusion.


Turn 1


Nick22:

Your country didnt have much luck lately. First, it was hit by big flood that destroyed many bridges and riverside settlements. Then you the disease broke out that killed almost two tenth of your people. Now your spies reports that some small barbaric tribes from the west may make raids on northern Pyranna.

You have a defensive alience with Kingdom of Krumlov, which obliges you to come to help to that kingdom if it is attacked by Feorians.

The Grand Duchy of Southern Pyranna is ruled by your older brother, Grand Duke Altimsar. Theoretically he is your vassal and owes you an obedience, but he bears a great grudge against you, as you were chosen by the late king as his successor.

All the goods you have for sale are transported either through Duchy of Osilia, which imposes rather small taxes, but it takes long to travel this way. On the other hand, route through the sea takes less time, but it is controled by Republic of Kavala, which demands high price for letting your ships go through.

Military:

You have 400 thousand of troops at your disposal. Most of them are stationing in the southern parts of the Pyranna (300 thousand), 90 thousand have quarters near your capital and the rest (10 thousand) stations at north. You have small fleet (about 30) of warships at Southern Bay.




StarfallRaptor:

Your country is slowly rebuilding after the civil war, but peace in your lands did not settle on your lands. You are regularly attacked by pirates from the south, who are well organised. The fleet of yours and your allied lords is not yet big enough to handle this threat fully and your only ally, Kingdom of Eastphalia, is too focused on defending its southern borders from Feorians to come to your help. Maybe it is time to make a new alliance? Other lords are also wondering about this matter and they are planning to have a meeting, on which you all will choose which country you are going to ally with. Both Kingdom of Adorno and Republic of Kavala are offering their cooperation and help. You cannot ally with two of them at the same time though.

Military:

The army you are directly controling consists of 25 thousand troops and your fleet has 30 warships.

Lord Nobunaga leads the army of 20 thousand soldiers and 20 warships

Lord Nagama has an army of 5 thousand troops and 5 warships.




f-22 "raptor" ace:

Your country prospers very well. Your trading ships freight the good from west to the east and back and makes a lot a money on that. However, there is a pirate's problem, who are attacking your ships frequently. The rumor has it, that they are payed by ruler of Adorno, but nobody can prove it. Another state that has similar problem is Owari-Mutsu Allied Territory, which could be a worthy ally, but Kingdom of Adorno also tries to make an allience with it.


Military:

You have 250 thousand regular troops and 50 thousand of special forces. Your fleet has total number of 200 warships. (sorry for decreasing the number of your troops, but others have to have a chance :p)

Nick22:

Your army of 15 thousand is marching north, but it take it a long time since bridges at river were destroyed and your men have to look for a ford. Merchants have the same problem as they are traveling with their goods to the east.

You were informed that a fleet of Kavala is belaying near your southern coasts. They are saying they've came to your help with western barbarians. What are you doing?

Military:

- 300 thousand troops in the southern border
- 75 thousand troops near your capital
- 15 thousand troops are marching to the north
- 10 thousand troops in the northern parts of Pyranna


StarfallRaptor:

Since you didnt do anything in first turn, your situation is pretty much the same.

Military:

The army you are directly controling consists of 25 thousand troops and your fleet has 30 warships.

Lord Nobunaga leads the army of 20 thousand soldiers and 20 warships

Lord Nagama has an army of 5 thousand troops and 5 warships.


f-22 "raptor" ace:

Your ships could only take 40 thousand troops on board. Some merchant families in the Senate are slightly protesting against lowering taxes, because they think it will decrease their profits (and your income to the treasure as well). In addition many of the senators are asking you: what is the reason for sending armies of Kavala to help country not allied with Republic?

Military:

- 250 thousand troops (mainly at the border with Kingdom of Adorno)
- 10 thousand special forces at the city of Kavala
- 40 thousand special troops on board of warships near coast of Pyranna
- 200 warships near coast of Pyranna

I will alow the forces from Kavala to enter my territory. I'll keep the 15000 moving west. I'll continue as previous with the merchants. Patience gets rewarded.

Nick22:

The army you send arrived at northern Pyranna. Before it's troops reached their destination, some villages near the north-west border were attacked and pillaged already, but it doesnt look like large raid yet. Your people need help though. Would you send your troops to patrol border area or order them to fortify in bigger settlements all over these lands or little of both?

Your advisors are suggesting you to rebuild destroyed bridges, so your merchants could travel faster. Since civilians are not able to do all that work by themselves and in many cases they are lacking necessary tools, you would have to give them help of military engineers and some part of your army as work force.


Military:

- 300 thousand troops in the southern border
- 75 thousand troops near your capital
- 25 thousand troops in the northern parts of Pyranna


StarfallRaptor:

Yuo are now allied with Republic of Kavala. Diplomat of Adorno shows his disappointment as he leaves.

You have been given a report that a few trading ships were looted near the coast of one of the southern isles of Owari-Mutsu United Territory. Lord Nobunaga is doing what he can to hunt down pirates ships, but he has only 20 vessels and area to patrol is large. He asks you to send him some help. One of your advisors states it might be wise to build more warships.

Military:

The army you are directly controling consists of 25 thousand troops and your fleet has 30 warships.

Lord Nobunaga leads the army of 20 thousand soldiers and 20 warships

Lord Nagama has an army of 5 thousand troops and 5 warships.


f-22 "raptor" ace:

You are now allied with Owari-Mutsu Allied Territory. Senators are satisfied with that alliance, as it unites forces of Republic and three lords of Owari-Mutsu against common enemy: sea brigands. They are not so certain that improving relations with Pyranna is worthy of sending part of army so far away, but they accept your decision (at least for now).

Military:

- 250 thousand troops (mainly at the border with Kingdom of Adorno)
- 10 thousand special forces at the city of Kavala
- 40 thousand special troops marching to the north through the lands of Pyranna
- 200 warships near coast of Pyranna

Your troops arrived and almost immediately one of your patrols engaged a small group of barbarian warriors. Your soldiers won this fight with minimal casualties. The rest of your army in north Pyranna finished fortyfying villages and city.

Messenger of Grand Master of Order arrived in your capital city. He has a proposition for you: you will allow the Imperial Order to build one or two castles in Pyranna and the knights of the Order will always come to your help, if you were attacked by enemy not from Patras. Remember that your father refused the same proposition, as he knew that the Order wont help him if he waged war aginst other kingdom in Patras and he believed that for the most of the time knights will spy on him. What is your decision?

Military:

- 300 thousand troops in the southern border
- 75 thousand troops near your capital
- 25 thousand troops in the north Pyranna (5000 troops on southern part of border and 20000 soldiers are stationing in fortified villages and city)

Every warship can be entered by only 200 troops, so in your 5 vessels you could send only 1 thousand soldiers.

I will have a small convoy of troops bring the captive to me..his information has proven accurate.. I will politely table the offer from the Grandmaster of Order, reminding him of my fathers objections, and that i'd need a personal guarantee from from the Grand Master himself before I'd feel reassured that they will not spy on me.. failing that I will decline the offer..
