    7 KB The Sanguine Kingdom Alfonso !!J5X1luOwrrm 10/23/11(Sun)14:21 No.16716025  
    Weapons and Fortifications.
    The King, in his great and holy wisdom, has decided that The Sanguine Kingdom is long overdo for some improvements to it's weapons. We make many innovations, and mimic the dwarves in many ways, while discovering that using multiple strings on a bow and using several differing materials creates a much more powerful, while easier to draw, weapon.

    We dig further underground and reroute the magma, creating pits with lava at the bottom. We build massive barriers, gates, checkpoints, narrow trap-filled corridors, and other defenses in preparation for a siege. If one doesn't know the right passwords and levers to pull they are almost inevitably killed. Our mountain fortresses are entirely self sufficient though, so it is not much worry, being cut off from the outside world that is. Just in case, our people carve passageways deep underground interconnecting all our cities.

    The Civil War in the Nagan lands has reached a stalemate.

    An army of ~2500 Dwarves is spotted marching for our lands.

    Magic and Fortification.

    We practice our magic. We have very limited ability with transmogrification and would like to expound upon that magic. Our early experiments create hideous, hellish monsters out of the Hornbeast. They're far too aggressive to be used and so are summarily incinerated when the magma duct is opened. As the experiments progress, the results become more viable. Many animals from the surrounding Mountains are killed, and none of our sorcerers feel confident enough to attempt the magic on a man.

    We expand the deep roads that connect our settlements and lay down metal rails, embedding them in the rock. We electrify these metal rails and run carts and freight along them. (Subway discovered)

    *Siege!*
    Time will progress slower while we are besieged, too slow for anything to really get done.
    The Dwarven army splits up into equal portions, to besiege all five of our mountain fortresses. Each Dwarven army is 500 strong. Each one of the garrisons in our cities is just under 250 strong. However, the Dwarves don't know about our subway line, and we could lessen the defenses of the other cities to break the siege at one.

    Oh guise, wait...

    While we do, admittedly, want to break these sieges ASAP consider the following...

    Sieges cost a fuckton of money for both the besieged and the sieger. We have countered most of that cost by having self-sufficient forces, our people won't die of starvation or anything. The dwarves split their forces to cover all of our cities (this implies either dumb luck, or they somehow know of our tunnel system).

    My point is that if we draw the sieges out, then the dwarves will be weakened over all, whereas we aren't really suffering anything besides hindered progress. So....yeah, just think on it.

    Divide et impera

    We draw forces from around the three cities connected to our capital directly and they ride the underground subway to our capital. The dwarves don't seem to notice but the dwarves don't seem to notice a lot of things. They have started their assault and our cities are under attack constantly, however they haven't even gotten through our first round of traps, which are proving extremely effective. Everyone is relieved the compound bows are enough to pierce their armor, which is lined with a treated leather material that rebuffs electricity. The arrow pierces this and renders it useless to the dwarves.

    When the forces are gathered at our capital they number 700 in total. They charge through the opening to our fortress, led by the king. The battle rages for several days before the last enemy has fallen. When it is all said in done, four hundred of the humans died in the fighting, and among them was the king. Only a few dwarves actually managed to escape.

    Agreed. the main advantages that human's have is their adaptability. We shouldn't blindly follow a single doctrine of warfare, but do whatever is the most effective. We can't beat the dwarfs in numbres, so a head-on battle is out of the question. Right now the battle can go either way. We need to attack their supply points so we can force them to make a mistake which we will exploit without mercy until they are dead.

    We must also be wary for any cunning employed by the dwarfs. We should make sure they don't have a secret underground tunnel leading to our base.

    Our forces are demoralized from the loss of our king, but enthused with the taste of victory. For now the advantage is ours. If the dwarves try to redirect forces to re-siege the capital then they leave their other forces too weak to do anything besides decorate our walls with their brain matter. Seriously bros, C1.

    Retreat and try to subvert.
    The dwarves catch word of our victory at the capital and, considering their heavy losses at our other cities, become worried. The dwarves can be seen retreating from the two cities closest to us and heading towards our capital.

    Our king had no heir, for he never took a wife in all the foray and chaos of kingship, so our Kingdom has no leader. However, the four remaining chieftains are independent enough, smart enough, and scared enough to keep working together well.

    We loot the bodies of the dwarves and the armor is sent down to the smiths for study. The smithies have been in overdrive to churn out weapons for our armies. They study this army and replicate it for use by humans. Our soldiers are outfitted with a lighter-weight version of the meteorite armor the dwarves use. They retreat for now into the capital city.

    Much to our benefit, the civil war in Nagan ends and a messenger arrives at the capital. Seeing the corpses of five hundred dwarves pinned to the mountain side, creating a blanket of dead dwarves on the rocks, tips him off that war has begun between the two races and he should be careful. The troops from the Nagan war shall be returning soon, and apparently they recruited while they were in the desert, they are now several hundred strong.

    We can get to the capital faster than they can. We need to somehow make rocks fall so everyone dies. We don't need an entrance to our capital, we have the railroad system. Evacuate all non-military personnel, keep a messenger at each road leading away from the capital.
    If the dwarves win, our people can escape. We can rebuild.

    Harass and sabotage their supply lines, pull hit and run attacks on the flanks of those sieging our fortresses, preferably with lightly armored bowmen performing a random number of attacks a day to wear at them psychologically.

    Then, when the desert reinforcements arrive use them as a hammer to strike them against the anvil of our fortresses, preferably just after an archer attack to catch them off guard for a full on infantry assault.

    Harass the lines
    The dwarves break through our traps at the city furthest from the capital. They are taking heavy, heavy losses in the fortress itself and have yet to get passed two of the dozens of checkpoints set up.

    The Nagan reinforcements will arrive on the scene next turn.

    We hold both of the dwarven armies bound for the capital in the slopes of the Mountain. We might be evenly matched fighting on plateaus, and they may be better at fighting in compact spaces, but when it comes to fighting on steep slopes, in the sparse mountain woods, and in snowy terrain, humans win hands down. We thin their forces significantly, killing at least two hundred dwarves before they reach the capital and we retreat inside to hold the line.

    Reroute some troops from non-besieged settlements to reinforce the settlement where the Dwarves have pushed through, have the other settlements hold the line until the desert reinforcements arrive.

    If we're lucky we'll be able to confine the dwarves to the underground, once we do that we'll be able to demand the secrets of all their technology, a tithe of their mined resources and their status as 'semi-autonomous servants' under pain of drowning them under diverted rivers.

    We can exterminate them in a few generations when we recover our numbers and improve the quality of our soldiers to at least equal theirs.

    Attacking them in their caves at this point in time is utter suicide.

    This is a pretty good idea.

    We can also make it so the members of the council are voted in by the people they would represent. (So mages vote in who becomes part of the mages council, etc.) Also, there needs to be a minimum amount of seniority required to join the council, so a bunch of young smiths don't vote each other into the council and start creating a bunch of ridiculous changes to our society.

    Reroute and wait for Reinforcements.
    We send the garrisons from the two cities not besieged to the capital. It beefs up the capital back to a garrison of five hundred, in fact a little bit over. A large part of the garrisons were left at the city just in case this was a trick by the dwarves to get us to weaken our defenses.

    The dwarves attack full force. With the knowledge they've gained of our traps from their other sieges they get through the traps with minimal casualties, and their golems act as siege engines, knocking down several of our barricades. Just as the defensive lines is about to break again and retreat, we hear screams from far on the other side of the passageway that serves as our entrance. Our people can just make out the site of hundreds of human and Naga attacking the dwarves. The Naga are extremely good with fire magic, and the jets of flame turn the dwarves armor into a furnace, cooking them alive. They are also good at fighting with the spear.

    Our troops surge forward, invigorated by this sight, and the dwarves are defeated after naught but a few days. With the new armor we had our casualties were much lower, not to mention the dwarves were panicked. Out of five hundred of the original garrison, only one hundred fifty died, and of the Nagan troops, only fifty. Combined, they number six hundred troops.
    _____________________________________________

    A1. Use our momentum to go to the two remaining cities that are besieged and relieve them.

    Then immediately use that momentum to park a few armies on top of their settlements.

    I just thought that if we want to exterminate them post haste rather than exploit them now then kill them later we could always create GIGANTIC bonfires above the entrances and vents of their fortresses and cook/suffocate them to death, if we make big enough fires we'd suck the Dwarves right up into the fires.

    Their fortresses aren't airtight afterall and they have to get their air from somewhere right?

    Our army goes across land to the College of mages, deciding to free it first. The city furthest from the capital is having a hard time, but they are holding and they have the largest garrison of all cities besides the capital.

    On the journey, we learn of the changes in Naga society. Men and women are treated equally, though there aren't many men left after the brutal war. They are in danger of going extinct, some believe. However conditions have improved greatly. They have a unified kingdom and a queen, who took one of the human soldiers we sent as her king. They consider us equals, and some consider us greater than they. Overall they seem receptive to the concept of being folded into our kingdom, for the most part.

    We reach the college of mages and find that horrible, horrible things have occurred here. We had lost contact with them, but just assumed since they kept sending troops everything was fine. We were wrong. The whole of the surrounding moutains are over run with strange beast that used to be dwarves. They run on four legs, and have large tusk. They are larger than horned beast, and far more aggressive. They tore all the normal dwarves to shreds, however the College had to be sealed off to prevent them from getting inside. Our forces try to exterminate the beast, but the going is slow. The Hell Bores, as they came to be called, were killed but at the cost of three hundred human and nagan lives. Our forces are down to three hundred, but after clearing the rubble from the entrance of the College, it is bolstered back up to four hundred fifty.

    After that they march forth to the other city. The going has been tough there, and many levels have been conquered by the dwarves, however the garrison has held. Our troops march in and quickly exterminate what remains of the dwarves, their numbers around seventy five and the garrison at only fifty. Our army numbers five hundred, what is our next move?

    As for the Naga, I say we try and form a close alliance. More than just friends, I think our cultures should become like family. Separate, but only just so. Our ruling bodies should communicate frequently and ask each other's advice. Our commoners should never look askance at each other.

    Forgot to vote for D1 and A2. Vengeance still must be taken from the dwarfs for their past crimes against us before we even think of peace. The naga have also shown themselves to be excellent allies, it would be unthinkable to not start looking at permanent combination of resources to forge an even stronger kingdom.

Let's make that final step to a Kingdom with equal rights. I mean, we already got equal rights between men and women, and the Naga's fought a civil war so fervently that some people think it could kill them off for that right, and most of them STILL love us.

    Magic, diplomacy , assimilate.
    The great war is over. We took heavy casualties, but our surviving soldiers are all the elite of the elite. They could take on anything. (Greatly enhanced fighting ability of militia).

    The Chieftain Council order magic be practiced. The experiments are mainly concerned with transmogrification. There is a breakthrough at the College of Mages. They discover that by altering their transmogrification spells and folding in a healing spell it limits the damage done to the creatures psyche, and limits the damage done to their appearance. There are no dwarves to test it on, but a team of ten of the most gifted mages gather at the college and cast a spell on one of the most distinguished of our soldiers, who volunteered for the spell. The result is as follows.

    The spells effects were limited at first, he grew a few feet. Then it started in earnest. Bones cracked and reshaped, skin changed to scales and then back to skin. A dozen different things all happened at once. When it ended, the soldier was eight feet tall. He had digitigrade legs, covered in a hard shell, similar to the exoskeleton of the giant scorpions the Naga eat. He became stronger, faster, lost all his hair, and became overall more powerful. He kept his sanity, and in fact actually seemed to grow in intelligence. As testing progressed, they found he was more competent with magic, and had a wider range of spells, fire apparently having been mastered as well as illusion.

    He is, however, now carnivorous. At random intervals he's wracked with a hellish pain. He appears to be decaying from the inside out and would've died within hours of the spell taking effect had it not been for a steady flow of healing magic into him. The spell is still flawed and not yet viable.

    The envoy we sent to the dwarves never returned.

    We send an envoy to the Naga to ask them to join our civilization. They happily agree, on the conditions that we help them bring their numbers back up by letting them breed with out men. The half-naga, half-human babies that exist already are covered in scales, but have human features for the most part. They are competent with fire, healing, lightening, transmogrification, and fertility magic, having bypassed the specialization that we had inherited from past generations. Oddly enough, the Naga are very compatible with human genetics, or perhaps it is the magic cast upon our genitals at birth.

    Our state doesn't have to be racially based - the Roman Empire wasn't. (One of the later Emperors was a half-cast black African.)

    We need to assimilate the other countries into our culture, see if we can find a faction within the dwarves who might be more open to inclusion in our state, while settling their towns with human immigrants. IF the dwarves breed slow enough, we can defeat them with demography. Otherwise, we need to set up a state where anyone - of any race - can be advance to the highest office by behaving in a human way, and worshipping our gods. Success in life will then naturally equate to "behaving like the humans", and before long they'll be just like us.

    Assuming a 19th century-style nationalist movement doesn't take off in our fantasy world.

    The tone in which we ask them is vital to define what follows.
    Since they adore our culture (and swagger) and are desperate for moar shlongs.
    Once we are one kingdom, this will inevitably lead to a mixing demographic since our numbers are most low and we are close to one another.

    F3 - Federated Constitutional Monarchy.

    The Naga are ruled by a queen who is a hero of their revolution. If we become a presidential democracy, we risk isolating them. We should become federal democracy, but with a figurehead king/queen for each of the cities. The people can elect one of the monarchs as a 'high king' of our whole society, like in modern day Malaysia. It would be great if we could arrange the half-naga child of their new queen to be out High-Queen.

    A3. Create separate councils for the farmers, warriors, mages, and smiths; all ruled by a Council of the Wise, which is composed of our most renowned and revered citizens.

    E

    D1, we tried peace, we must exterminate these barbaric savages.
    Begin deforesting the Dwarven territory, use every piece of lumber and flammable material to suffocate and cook the dwarves in their warrens.

    The fires must be visible from miles away and kept burning for weeks, afterwards we can see the results, if they're not dead we can drop a few rivers on top of them.

    A2, peace and love man!

    I say A3.
    If we rely on the wisdom of one man, we will share his failings and weaknesses.
    I say we have a ruling council. As it is, any child has a chance of ending up on it some day, as a smith or through distinguished military service.

    D. We need to work on our polymorphing skills, fix the soldier that we've broken.

    B1. Time is on our side. We have the Naga in our pocket, and we are researching like crazy. The dwarves fall to us eventually, I vote that we make our move in overwhelming force.

    A2. Offer the Naga citizenship. If they decline, that's cool. But we are the bestest of friends, we all know it's gonna happen eventually.

    A3. We are the champions of equality. Thus should our government be.

    I'm not sure giving the Dwarves time to emulate our traps is the best strategy. We may end up falling into the meatgrinder like they did.

    D, A1, B2. We need to further strengthen our greatest advantage by increasing our mastery of magic. Magic has been extremely useful as a tool and was crucial to preventing a dwarf victory in our most current tool. Focusing on it's development should be a priority for our nation. We should focus this magic development in ways that will assist our war with the dwarfs.

    >>16717063

    B3 or C3. This war was won by the mages and warriors, whoever leads should come from their ranks.

    Dorfs aren't backing down until we make them. stop on their throat once or twice and they'll be willing to listen. flood a town or two and we'll get the point across without killing all of them

    D: Practice transmog. Attempt to fix our soldier, and make an elite force. This leads on to D1...
    D1: Send the elite force to scout out the dwarven kingdom. They can use their illusion magic to conceal themselves and may even be able to penetrate into the cities/gain political knowledge. Once they've gathered info, send someone back to us with the knowledge.
    A2...but I thought this was already addressed and they were in our Civilization...
    A3.
