Bhucala (Earthquake)
The Earthquake Machine, as it is sometimes called, is made of a strange rock from some rather rare Wells. When hollowed out very carefully into the shape of a large horn, it can be, well, used like a horn. Not like a normal "sound the charge" sort of horn, oh no. These are far too large and expensive for that. They can only be moved on large, permanent carts with expensive metal wheels and axles, because wooden axles will not hold the weight of the rock. The rock itself is rare and the skill necessary to craft it rendered these ancient horns terribly expensive, but whenever Imperial forces could use one, well, it was terrifyingly effect.

When blown, this Well rock vibrates such that the earth cannot help but vibrate with it. It is a sound too low to be heard by a person, but it can be felt. The air seems to shake, and the ground becomes less and less solid as the vibration grows. Entire armies have been known to sink up to their knees or drown in formerly solid ground, lost in a quicksand-like soup of earth. The highly-directional nature of the horn means the effect is usually confined to a narrowish cone, and the expense means that only rarely could sufficient numbers be amassed.

Their most prominent use was as siege weapons, being covered by a roof of shields and wheeled close enough to an enemy's walls to soften the very foundations of the walls, and cause them to split as portions began to sink into the earth, often removing causing multiple sections of wall to just crumble into the ground, swallowed up as if the Great Sea itself had come to devour them. This weapon changed Embralish siege warfare forever, as it was much, much faster than even dozens of siege weapons and unimaginably quick compared to starving out prepared defenders.

Saruga Bhalu (Tunnel Bear)
Twenty years. Twenty years of tunneling, of hiding, of striking when unexpected, of fighting a horrendous war. We developed a few tricks over that time. The "Tunnel Bear" is a very light vehicle meant to squeeze through tunnels just barely bigger than it, dug painstakingly over many years of fighting. It is light, fast, inexpensive, and capable of carrying a handful of troops or a heavy weapon through the tunnels. The Tunnel Bear is not, itself, armed, being a logistics implement only.

It does, however, carrying an advantage crucial for underground combat: Using the development work on the Cikaviga as well as what would go into producing the Leviathan's advanced sonar system, we have engineered an underground navigation "sonar" or echolocation device. The sound it produces is outside human hearing, but propagates fairly well through dirt. It is reflected by rock and metal and such, allowing Tunnel Bears to be used to direct tunneling efforts for maximum tunneling speed and minimum dead ends, as well as pointing the way to large hardened structures closer to the surface....such as some pesky bunkers that have been holding up advances or anchoring strongpoints we wish to remove. Use a Tunnel Bear to get close, then plant some very large bombs, light fuse, and run away.

Seeing the need for a mobile and stealthy vehicle able to engage a variety of ground targets, the Rōgī was developed.

The Rōgī is a turretless hunter vehicle, meant to pick its targets off at range and then reposition as necessary. The primary weapon is a 50mm long barrel gun developed alongside HE, AP, and APHE shells. It is mounted in a fixed casemate with 30mm of armor and 35 degrees of traverse from side to side. The gun supports a simple 4x optic for use at all ranges.

It is open topped, with the driver sitting in the hull, the commander behind and to the right. To his left and separated by the breech block of the cannon is the gunner who is assisted by a loader sitting behind and to the left of the breech block. Ammunition is stored inside the hull as well as in ready racks on the lower parts of the casemate, with an additional 5mm of armor out of paranoia. On the top of the casemate is pintle mount with gun shield for a machine gun. Unfortunately, the design had not yet been allocated to production at the time. The commander also has access to a periscope for target spotting.

The hull itself is a squat cast box with a slight amount of sloping on the front to improve protection, 15mm of steel armor on the sides and 20mm of steel on the front. It is a non turreted design with a rear mounted 120hp engine able to propel the vehicle at speeds around 30 to 40 km/h. Its exhaust includes Well-Sap insulation to reduce sound while repositioning.

Overall, it is a short, squat design with armor proof against heavy machine gun and light cannon fire. It is small enough to be maneuvered through tunnels in a pinch, and light on armor.

Embralish Defining Tech: The Final Endeavor "Revision"

Proposal: Rogi Hunter-Killer Vehicle

Seeing the need for a mobile and stealthy vehicle able to engage a variety of ground targets, the Rōgī was developed.

The Rōgī is a turretless hunter vehicle, meant to pick its targets off at range and then reposition as necessary.

Overall, it is a short, squat design with armor proof against heavy machine gun and light cannon fire. It is small enough to be maneuvered through tunnels in a pinch, and light on armor.

Difficulty: Normal
Result: (5+4)-0=9, Above Average

The Rogi is a 4-crew vehicle shaped like a short, front-sloped box with a single 50mm cannon protruding from the armored casemate with an adequate range of traversal. The open-topped vehicle is capable of defending itself with a pintle-mounted machine gun as well as the crew's own weapons. 30mm of steel armor protect the front, with the rest covered at 20mm. The Rogi is capable of reaching speeds of 45km/h and is able to turn rapidly and precisely to aid in tracking targets.

It initially saw limited use during the expansion of the subterranean war, but the Rogi proved itself a reliable enough military vehicle to be sent over to Harren Island.


----------------


The trip across the sea was long, but not as lonely as one would like. Another fleet, the Grand Fleet of the Initharian Empire, had been identified as headed toward Harren as well. Th Great Fleet did not engage, as Embrallia could not risk losing lives vital to the survival of the nation - at least not while there were civilians aboard the ships. Luckily it seemed these Initharians were in a similar situation, and neither fleet decided to approach the other.

Which was good, because there were nothing but bad tales about the Initharian Empire.

The Initharian Peninsula housed a number of growing tribes that eventually came together as a strong seafaring nations, with their extremely well-made voyaging canoes aiding in their expansion and control of the islands and nearby seas. As these tribals dominated the surrounding area they began covering their ships in vibrant, clashing colors. They apparently held meaning, but only the Initharians know for sure.

The Bronze Age's Median Empire had decided to tame the wild islanders, but were turned away. The tribals had gained access to some strange green-glowing stone of force. They used it in their arrows to great effect, where the impact of the arrow seemed to have an extra devastating kick to it. Hails of arrows were capable of bringing down ships, and over the course of a siege could sufficiently weaken walls and damage defenses. They used this devastating power to push into the Land of the Medes and "coerce" others to turn against their largely benevolent ruler. When the Median Capital fell, it was the Initharians who rattled them with their arrows and crumpled them with their "Boom Sticks" - spears using this odd metal - then stood by and allowed a myriad of tribes and nations to sack the ancient city with reckless abandon.

The Initharian's claimed much of the Median Empire, imposing their will and forcing trade through their ports for a large number of mainland nations. When a nation would refuse their terms, the Initharians would strike without hesitation to maintain dominance. During the advancement through the industrial revolution of their nation (which was delayed in part due to their very strict profession-based caste system's innovative incompatibility) they went through an event known as "Inithar's Folly". They had tried to harness water and their "refocyte" in some way at specialized dams called Charging Stations. One such dam exploded terribly, killing many inside. This included the heads of the "Refocyte-worker Fellowship". While their economic growth took a massive hit, Inithar's stranglehold on the area's economy kept them afloat. During this same period of time they went on to introduce boats that ran on coils of their refocyte. Smokeless, quiet, and potent, Coilengines increased the pressure they applied on coastal nations. They also moved away from the gunpowder weaponry rapidly gaining popularity, and instead crafted firearms which utilized their wondermetal. While their weapons suffered from lower range and penetration compared to similar weapons, the only noise they make is that of the firing mechanism striking a metal plate. They were also significantly shorter but stockier than contemporary counterparts.

The Initharian Oppression lasted millennia, and it was only relatively recently that a number of nations were capable of joining together to overthrow these aggressors. The Great Powers began pushing them back to the seas, but the islanders refused to give in, fighting relentlessly on the coasts and asea. When a stalemate was forced, The Great Powers introduced aircraft onto the battlefield. The Initharian response was initially weak. The A1 Iwa was a largely unremarkable two-seater biplane save for it's quiet coilengine and the inclusion of a "refocyte battery" that ultimately acted as a supercharger. Refinements were hastily performed, and the Supercharger Coilengine came into being. While it wasn't enough to completely turn the tides, the improved Iwa was able to dive in and hit a target or two at high speed before flying off, often unable to be caught.

The Powers finally managed to make progress in the seas thanks to their vast numbers of men and material. It seems the Initharians had a refugee convoy pass through their territory as well, because they soon created and sent forth their "Grand Fleet". Rumor has it that the ship is some sort of superbattleship people refer to as a "Kona-like".

These people are cruel and savage, and if the bounty of Harren should fall into their hands it would only be a matter of time before they would use those resources against us, if someone else doesn't take them and turn them against us anyway. They are a vital threat, and so after we've landed and begun work on studying and extracting the island's resources we will be prying them from the Initharians as well.


----------------


The approach to Harren was just as we were told. A massive permanent storm stained the skies an inky black to the north, the seas churning up an impenetrable haze. Our ships, more importantly, had to contend with the rapidly-heating air and rough seas approaching Salvios. The air was impossibly dry and was a clear and immediate threat. A more pertinent threat though was the natives watching the Embralish fleet approach.

It is now the Strategy Phase. You will be presented with a variety of fields to choose from. Propose lists that select one item from each field and propose entire armories, then vote on whichever selection you want most. This will be used to engage Pact forces immediately (this turn) and the Initharians afterwards (next turn in 1938). You are obviously encouraged to change the names alongside you proposals - I definitely don't want to write about ship shooting gun at ship but it's the other team's.

Spoiler: Aircraft (click to show/hide)

Light Fighter: The Fighter is a gull-winged single-propeller aircraft capable of speeds of 380km/h. It has two machine guns in the nose and carries two 50kg bombs. Armor is practically nonexistent. Costs 3 Ore and 3 Oil. (EXPENSIVE)

Scout Craft: The Scout Craft is an unarmed aircraft used mostly for reconnaissance. It is a high-wing strut braced monoplane with a rectangular wing. It is simple and cheap, capable of taking off and landing anywhere with the space, and if they take some damage there's always another Scout Craft ready to go. The crew are provided parachutes and encouraged to bail when there's signs of trouble. Costs 2 Ore and 2 Oil. (CHEAP)

Spoiler: Infantry Weapon (click to show/hide)

Samarata 1902: A 7mm bolt-action rifle with a 5-round box magazine effective out to 1000m. Light, reliable, and can utilize a variety of sights. Costs 2 Ore and 2 Wood. (CHEAP)

Spoiler: National Bonus (click to show/hide)

Tunnel Rats: The Embralish people have always used the environment and psychology to tip the scales of warfare, and underground is no different. While no benefit is provided while fighting over undeveloped territory, infantry get a bonus to fighting in the ambush-loaded environments of facilities, mines, and the like (nodes that have a resource applied to them). A small bonus is also applied to rolls for designs related to guerilla warfare.

Well Of Knowledge: The Embralish Empire is always very well informed on their opponents. While the means is not always know, it is almost always spot-on. Any credit can be replaced for an Espionage Credit, and espionage rolls gain an extra roll. A small bonus is also applied to rolls for designs related encryption, decryption, and infiltration.

Time to make your decisions! Good luck! Note that if you choose a design that utilizes equipment you wind up not having a design for (ex. machine guns for vehicles) then you will be considered as using WW1-era equipment as placeholder.

Rogi Hunter-Killer Vehicle: An open-topped 4 crew vehicle with a 50mm cannon, hits speeds around 45km/h, and is protected by 30mm front armor and 20mm of armor everywhere else. Has a pintle-mounted machine gun. Fast and agile, more than adequate for heavier hit-and-runs. Cost 5 Ore and 3 Oil. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Sea:

The Leviathan: The submersible flagship of the Great Fleet. Massive, dependable, and armed with 32 torpedoes and four 25mm autocannons. Can stay asea for nearly a year. Cramped, but well-stocked. Uses a variety of wellmaterials to improve it's sonar systems while making itself practically invisible to them. Survivability is improved thanks to a pair of internal hulls running the length of the ship as well as three more specialized internal hulls. Always a (NATIONAL EFFORT).

Special:

Unique Resource - Wells: Wells are strange, relatively poorly understood subterranean environs housing any number of forms of cave-adapted life whose parts can be used to manipulate the world through sound.
-Wellquartz: A mineral found within wells that evokes a range of blissful feelings with intensity dependent on the tone.
-Wellbronze: A metal capable of detecting sound and responding with vibration. Electrical current focuses the detection cone and increases sensitivity and clarity.

We're supposed to vote for entire lists at a time, not individual elements (in this case, at least). So Shadowclaw's proposal looks like this:

Ship 1: Submarine - "Nautilus" Submarine
Ship 2: Light Cruiser
Aircraft: Light Fighter
Infantry Weapon: Samarata 1902
Support Weapon: LMG
National Bonus: Well of Knowledge

I like most of those choices. The only one I don't like is the cruiser- yes, the Heavy Cruiser is a National Effort, but only until we grab a single resource (Ore, Oil, or Wells), then it becomes VE. Submarines are not great at naval fire support, so we could really use something with big guns. Also, the Light Cruiser has no AA, and whatever about facing Inithar, we're going to need anti-air if we want our navy to survive versus the Pact.
I'm also going to propose some alternative names:

Ship 1: Submarine - Hetham-Class Submarine
Ship 2: Heavy Cruiser - Mukebaza-Class Heavy Cruiser
Aircraft: Light Fighter - Mk.II Baza Fighter
Infantry Weapon: Samarata 1902
Support Weapon: LMG - Mk.III Musakila LMG

Spoiler: Aether (click to show/hide)

(Sphere: Matter=Gasses )

Referred to by alchemists of old as the base element of air, aether is actually present in the gaseous mixture that makes up the atmosphere.  However, in times ancient it was actually near impossible to isolate due to the amounts in the atmosphere is equal to around 0.000002 PPM. However, In the modern age the transdimensional shockwaves that were present on harren have led to the creation of Aether vents, Were large amounts of aether were collected and trapped beneath the ground.

Through these incredibly rare aether vents, we were able to discover that aether reacts to different sound waves, allowing us to actually collect the Aether present in the atmosphere via the use of these sound waves. The first real miracle of Harren that we have uncovered.

Aether is a Gas, And when concentrated take on a purple color and is rather opaque But is still breathable, although long turn exposure to aether and the reaction therein have not yet been fully researched.

When exposed to sound waves, The aether will react by causing the phenomenon in the atmosphere. Depending on the volume, pitch and frequency different phenomenon can be created, from hardening the surrounding atmosphere into a solid, Light as air substance that is as strong as stone or create violently, Swift gust of wind.

 This property would explain why the alchemists of old would believe that aether is the base element, due to its ability to influence the atomic movement of gaseous materials around it. The variety of effects created by normal sound waves is believed to be wide, varied and a deep pool of research and the well biologists believe that the synergy between well matriel and Aether could very well be an Ocean compared to the pond of normal sound waves.

Spoiler: Blood Iron (click to show/hide)

(Sphere Blood)

The so nicknamed Blood iron, Do to its large but as far as we can tell the scientifically accurate name, Is a strange, Iron-like Metal?!? That is capable of extreme self-replication when exposed to Blood, Both humans and animals as long as the blood in question is red, hemoglobin like liquid.
This rapid Self-replication lead the materiel to grow rather quickly, Nearly Doubling in size every 5 seconds as long as a suitable amount of blood is available.

This is rather horrifying, and would be rather useless for much due to a bullet being almost as lethal as a blood iron one, as well as being much faster and “cleaner”. However, When the materiel is undergoing self-replication, we have discovered that if exposed to a sufficiently powerful magnetic pulse, The Blood metal will undergo a sudden transformation.

Instead of self-replicating until the source of materiel runs out, the Blood iron will instead Stop growing, and absorbing blood. In fact, It will Seemingly allow blood to pass through with no hassle, allowing veins to continue pumping even when they would otherwise be blocked due to the Iron Present in the veins. In addition, the Blood metal seems to properly anchor itself to the surrounding tissue without further damage, For all intents and purposes seemingly becoming part of the host body.

This allows blood iron to act as a fantastic infield bandage, creating a block that stops further bleeding and fills up the injury, preventing further disease and injury caused by the wound. While the person in question won’t be getting back up to fight, Blood metal would allow a large increase in the number of people large gaping wounds kill, being able to fill up space inside of the injury before being transformed into the symbiotic metal form it seems to take after magnetic exposure.

Spoiler: Ferromagnetic Obsidian (click to show/hide)

Sphere Magnetic
Materiel created from the cooled magma brought to the surface during the cataclysm ibn the volcano lands, Ferromagnetic obsidian is formed from a strange, Black oozing Lava. Still, as hot as regular lava, Still as viscous and still as deadly as the regular form of molten rock, this strange black Lava turns into a Rather interesting black glass. Similar to normal obsidian in appearance.

However, it seems to be one of the most powerful electromagnets we have ever discovered, capable of creating incredibly powerful magnetic pulls or magnetic pushes. Incredible powerful in fact, Unrefined and hooked up to to a powerful ge3nerator, the Obsidian was capable of creating a magnetic field strong enough to pull a Secured wrench from three rooms down, through the walls at speeds faster than a rogi Shell, Shattering the test stone and the electrical generator.

We have as of yet been working on creating further refined versions of the stone, capable of a variety of magnetic fields as well as tighter and more refined fields, but as of now we have been able to create powerful positive and negative magnetic zones. Our engineers feel assured that they will be able to create wondrous things from these materials.

Spoiler: Druids Glow (click to show/hide)

Sphere= Biological Growth
A powder originally documented in nation that has been absorbed by the union, used by ancient druids for use in healing and self-protection. This power is harvested from a large species of trees that formerly served as the primary stone age gathering points for the ancient tribes society.

These massive trees would create pollen that gives off a gentle green light, The aforementioned druids glow.

Under this light, Biological tissue would rapidly glow, seemingly absorbing the green like and rapidly heating up. The why is not well known as of this time, however, what is well documented. Biological creatures and Flora affected by the Druids Glow Grow a substantial amount, without a corresponding decrease in body mass and fat reserves, seemingly pulling the energy and nutrients required for the rapid growth and Improvement from near thin air.

Open wounds exposed to the light will find themselves rapidly healed, as the wound seems to stitch itself at a pace visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to affect bone fractures or internal injuries, instead only causing an affirmation growth phenomenon.

In Time long by, The druids glow would be used to create powerful war animals, Lions the size of an elephant, Birds as large as trucks and even tribal warriors that Stood near double the size of a normal human. In addition, it would often serve to Rapidly grow flora into walls and fields of poison or encourage the growth of crops during off-seasons.
While some of these uses have been surpassed and are thoroughly outdated by the modern standards, Many Embral scientists, Well Biologists and Engineers fully believe they will be able to utilize this materiel, even if only in the ability to create stronger and faster soldiers and Increased well Harvests from larger Well Fauna.
It is believed that the Druid trees were lost, Consumed first by wars during the bronze and Iron age before the last being destroyed (by accident most likely) during the union's conquest. 
However, Recently a tree in embral heartlands that was previously believed to be a regular oak, if mildly malformed, has been growing much larger then the previous record holder for the species. When it released pollen that glowed green, Historians knew that they had one of the legendary and previously thought extinct Druid tree’s presence in the heartlands, unknown to all.

In an Effort to prevent the extinction of the species, Maybe sapling has been scattered as far as possible across the embral homelands. The oldest saplings were sent with the Great fleet, in order to test the Various effects the Harren's unique environment would have on it.
