Spoiler: A Letter to Talarys Revande (click to show/hide)

Esteemed Human Leader Talarys Revande,

Many peoples have been stirred forward against our old oppressors, the Empire, since the star fell.  Many seek to re-establish their old ancestral lands.  Naturally, this may cause conflict.  Owldale and Pork have long been neighbours, and that presents both danger and opportunity.  I write to you to make a formal suggestion of a Non-Aggression Pact with a clearly defined border between our planned expansions, perhaps along South Owldale, South Beaton and Upper Cauldron.  The Principality of Pork seeks to re-establish its ancestral holdings in Pork, Southern Cauldron and Troud.  With potentially hostile neighbours either side of you in South Petris (the Novatechs) and East Maver (the Brimstone Republic) a safe neighbour would be one less concern for you.

Please do consider our offer, we believe it will be beneficial to us both.

The Finest Regards,

Princess Gruntsnuffle of the House of Suidae
The Principality of Pork

Spoiler: A Response to Princess Gruntsnuffle {Iiteum} (click to show/hide)

To the Principality of Pork, and its Princess;

Greetings.

The people of Revande welcome another ally in communication. Our aims are to retake Owldale and Beaton, and cross into Foul to provide a buffer from the Empire; alongside East and Central Highblood which had belonged to our holdings since before the Empire expanded. Being one of those to initialize contact with us; we respect in turn, and will fully trust and uphold this treaty with its constituents.

The people of Revande aim to live in a future where others are well alongside we; and when our peoples meet in person, we would like to offer a Trade Treaty when possible.

We look forward to further communication, as at the moment, we lack diplomats, envoys, or otherwise, to send our own messages in to our neighbors.

As a foreword; while I speak for our people, our people speak in turn--war and battle will only be joined by us if our allies wish it, or if we are attacked. We wish you and your people well nonetheless, and hope to live with them after the Empire.

Peace in accord.

Greetings from the Brimstone republic my southern neighbor! I hope this letter finds you in good health. Give that we represent two of the preeminent rising powers if the world, I had thought it best to quickly establish dialog before any misunderstandings could occur. I'd first like to broach the question of trade. Since our people are so close, it only makes sense that their economy should be as well. To that end,
 I would like to open a trade route to your people without delay. In addition, I'd like to broach the topic of territorial expansion. We should not fool ourselves here, we are both powerful countries with growing armies, it's unlikely that the independent provinces around us stay independent for long. To that end we wish to come to an agreement about the natural territorial rights to each of our countries so that our expansion parties do not come to a messy and unfortunate crossing. The Brimstone republic lays out our ancestral claims to the whole of Maver, as it is our right gained turning the great depilatoration.
 In addition, we also lay similar claims on Steel and Dalton, as these lands teem with the lower caste, and must be brought into line for the proper progress of society.

[Criptfeind]

Since you started right next to me, you can just accept the trade treaty right now Tiruin.

We'll both get some extra cash right away.

[Tiruin]

Since you started right next to me, you can just accept the trade treaty right now Tiruin.

The 'when possible' bit means yes I accept it now, but in RP that means 'when you got my letter back.
And nope I'm not reading any other spoilers other than what I've got. Because I've no idea how to RP spymasters unless we've some way of doing that.

[Kashyyk]

Also there is no wincon for this game right? I haven't read any. So I'll assume due to having bad internet connection and: YAY, no pressure and I can PLAY A GAME THAT I CAN ALLY WITH PEOPLE.))

World domination is a bit of an omnipresent wincon, but I'm sure we can come up with others.  I expect this game to take a while regardless though.

Kashyyk: So every province can only have 1 Industrial building, when you say 'access to resource', this means 'in my territory that is connected by land to each other or by caravan' right?

If a building requires a resource,  (like a farm does grain) then the resource must be in the territory.  If a building needs access (like a marketplace), then like you say, so long as it is present in your lands or the lands of a trade partner,  it counts.

Also you misspelled Grunt in the 'walls' section in Buildings.

No I didn't.  I have no idea what you're talking about.

And, just to ask, do we know what RANGE of enemy unit we can expect in those colored areas in the economic map?

Anything that you can currently build,  they theoretically could as well.

You also forgot to color Cript's nation as black.

I know... I'll sort it when I get home.

Because I've no idea how to RP spymasters unless we've some way of doing that.

Psst. Research espionage and find out.


And with that we have everyone. I'll sort the turn at some point tonight!

[Tiruin]

And, just to ask, do we know what RANGE of enemy unit we can expect in those colored areas in the economic map?

Anything that you can currently build,  they theoretically could as well.

To clarify, for all of us at CONQUEST TURN 0 (), RIGHT NOW, is it okay if we knew the possible range of what exists on the map? Because I'm assuming this means 'they have 0 money right now but will have income as to their color next turn and can build what we can literally have in the Units spoiler, but as to their income only', and the question above is clarification.

Unless all neutrals are empty at turn 0. I'll have to edit my orders if that was the case.

[Kashyyk]

They will start with and attempt to maintain as many units as they can afford. By default they will not attempt aggressive action unless you somehow manage to provoke them.

[Nirur Torir]

Assuming the full green has 250 income, that amounts to: city walls, 2x longbowmen, and light macemen, or city walls, 4x archers, and militia. Not as terrifying as I expected, but it'll take a bit of build-up to conquer one. If they also have income buildings raising that, they start getting scary.

I'll assume they upgrade with public domain tech, so we can't just wait until we can take them down with machine gunners.

By default they will not attempt aggressive action unless you somehow manage to provoke them.

That gives me an idea, but it's probably a war crime.

The Defenders have won out!

The coastal fort of Carraq loomed over the only bay in the territory and thus your warriors were forced to land in it's shadow. The defenders were already on the beach as they arrived, bringing the combat to the invaders as they struggled to get shore. Each ship could only carry a small number, and the defenders systematically annihilated each unit in turn with minimal losses. The few survivors who returned to bring word of this defeat are barely fit for menia lalbour, wounded as they are.

What should have been a simple excercise against inexperienced troops turned into a grueling bloodbath for both sides. The enemy archers had set up on a steep hill overlooking the battle, allowing them to lay down a fearsome amount of firepower on the assaulting infantry. Once your soldiers had reached the archers, the defending spearmen fell upon your lines with a ferocity completely at odds with their lack of training. The ensuing melee continued for over an hour, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, a single squad of enemy spearmen were left standing over the field of corpses and wounded. Despite the odds, they thwarted the assault.

The enemy deployed their archers in a skirmishing line in front of a block of lower cast militia. Whilst successful in harrying your troops as they advanced, the inexperienced spearmen were unable to support them before your macelings split them apart and barreled into the defending forces. Many of the younger tieflings, seeking to gain honour in the melee threw themselves into inadvisable situations. One notable moment involved a particularly hotheaded individual attempting to defeat four of the lower casters unarmed. Luckily, none of his wounds were close to vital organs, although that was likely more luck than skill on anyone's part.

Despite the reckless nature of the troops, Fireglass has been liberated and the local lords have thrown themselves on your mercy.

In other news, the first caravan of Alliance merchants has arrived, bearing fruits of a particularly unique taste. Few tieflings seems to care for it, but some of the other races have developed a taste for the sour flavour.

Your forces swept into the gnomish town of Trodden, meeting the defenders in the streets. Whilst much smaller than either the Orcs or Dwarves amongst your forces, the sheer volume of the enemy caused several squads to be overwhelmed. Thankfully, discipline held and the beleagured units were reinforced by nearby allies. Less ideal, a large number of the defending infantry managed to flee the area whilst your forces cemented their controlf of the town.

Whilst the first few ranks of your forces took very heavy casualties, the rest are comparatively unscathed.

Aaaah yes, the fucking RNG in this game. Do the NPC nations re-recruit or not? Because it's a bit of a punch in the face if they can instantly reform >.>

[snow dwarf]

Couldn't find anything in the OP about damaged units and how much repairing costs. Do I just send them home and they will eventually be repaired?

[Taricus]

You don't even need to move them, they'll repair on their own.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Ach, but this result was anticipated.

Send the longbowmen into E Shadevale

[Kashyyk]

Damaged units just need to spend a full turn in non-hostile territory and they will return to full strength.

Aaaah yes, the fucking RNG in this game. Do the NPC nations re-recruit or not? Because it's a bit of a punch in the face if they can instantly reform >.>

They will also have to spend an entire turn before their forces recover, during which time they will not be available for combat. If you feel you really need active troops now, see the rules regarding mercenaries.

[Taricus]

So if I invade while they're all damaged I'll just waltz in and take it then?

[Kashyyk]

Correct, unless they also manage to pull mercenaries out of somewhere (hint, they can't afford that). A convenient side-effect is that any units that were damaged before the battle began will instantly be captured by the winning side as well.
