Happy birthday tomorrow

[Johnfalcon99977]

Happy B-Day!

I just hope this isn't an April Fools joke, or i'll strangle you! [/Joke _{Or is it?}]

[Sheb]

Happy Birthday! As a birthday present, I am writing up my turn, should be up in a few minutes.

[Kashyyk]

Due to the loan no longer be required, I'm editing my turn. 

[Sheb]

After the fall of Northern Brent and the capture of Brian "The Fool", Sheb collapsed. Since the death of his son, the only thing that had been driving him was his lust for revenge, and with anyone involved either dead or (in Brian's case) rotting in a cage hanging outside his bedroom, the drive behind his life disappeared.

For several week, he stayed silent, sitting in his study or weeping over his son's grave, not even bothering to torture Brian. The only person he would talk too was Bearskin. The druid was really young, but in him was teh wisdom of untold numbers of druids. Slowly, his soothing words started to heal the wounds in Sheb's heart. After a while, he even took pleasures in torturing Brian himself again.

The two men grew good friends over the time, and with more and more people being scared by Sheb's newfound cruelty Bearskin soon was his liege best friend, if only by virtue of being the only one.

So it was no surprise when Bearskin got himself appointed Marshall of The Empire, promptly taking over the military and sending any concurrent on "peacekeeping" missions in remote hamlets.

Under Bearskin's leadership, things started to move again. A caravan was created, with a mission to establish trade links with the Foul Empire. Plans were made for the annexion of Eastern Sutter and Aelstrom South, and an armada was preparing itself to deal with the pirate menace.

Sheb, for his part, seemed happy to exchange diplomatic letters and monologue in front of a caged Brian about how much he would regret standing up to him.

-4 Light Axemen, 1 Archer and 2 War Bears, led by Bearskin, will invade South Aelstrom. Fighting the pirates means controlling most of the coast.

Other
£19 will be used to try to find the pirates' headquarter. (Corrupting pirates, paying informent, offering bounties and the like.)

((I am assuming that I can promote Bearskin and move it around on the same turn. Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it'd be neat if my faction name was changed from Brentian Counties to Brentian Kingdom. After all, I was finally crowned.))

[Demonic Spoon]

So we need Hubris Incalcuble, Criptfiend and Phantom's turns?

[Terenos]

Yep, Reckon those are our only missing ones. And Cript was waiting for a question to be answered.

[Iituem]

They've got at most six hours, I should really be off by this evening (it's about noon now here).  I won't be available at all during Sunday.

Edit:  Yes, you can promote Bearskin and move him on the same turn.

Edit 2:  All the coding I plan to do for this turn is done, which is really just getting Heroes and the tech bonuses to combat in.  I've updated the OP with the rules and promotions for Heroes.  Also, Captain Simo's hire cost just shot down to £2000.

[Iituem]

Kashyyk, do you want your caravan to move into Brent S once the trireme hits the Brentish Channel?  That would put it in position to do so.

[Kashyyk]

No thank you, I'm sending it to the United Provinces.

btw, my turn now has fluff!

[Sheb]

Do you have a trirem to transport it?

[Kashyyk]

Yep, it's cruising just off the West Farland Coast atm.
