Hope you get some players
I, myself, can't be arsed since it's 12 AM where I am and I'm going to sleep soon

Fuck it, I'm joining in. Maybe xy will do a game tomorrow or real life prevented him from making one.

Name: The Kingdom of Estene

Government type: Constitutional Monarchy

Ideology/Religion: The widespread belief that Estene is the nation chosen by the Gods to inherit the Earth. Pretty aristocratic, being a merchant is considered to belong to the lower classes.

Location: Spain

Fluff: After years of scheming and local warmongering the Lord of Estena gained enough power to declare himself a King. He took the title of Alexander the 1st and now he looks with covetous eyes at neighboring lands.

Colour: Red

Ah what the hell, Im in too. Didn't want to sleep anyway.

Believe that all living creatures possess spirits that persist after death. They do not worship these spirits, but call for their aid during rituals.

Remember to roll for your actions, so I know what you want to do this turn.

I've finished drawing everything but the Rainbow Nation onto the map, but Estene has to be shrunk a bit because Spain is pretty big, comparatively.

>>16920258
Yes.

>>16920049
Your attempts at recruiting a massive success. You manage to conscript two entire regiments of infantry through the patriotism of Estene. (Size: 2)
Your port, however, is a massive failure, mostly due to many resources having been pooled into the recruiting process and arming the new militiamen. Quite a few of your merchants are annoyed at the losses from their investment.

On top of that, the men you contracted to construct your roads ran off with your payments. That'll teach you to pay in advance.
Your academy is thought over, but the lack of resources due to our incredible failure with the port and roads prohibits its construction, at least for now.

>>16920076
Albion finds areas suitable for, respectively, a salt mine, an iron mine and limestone.
Your temple is constructed in celebration of the divine, and much rejoicing is had within its hallowed grounds. Even a few roaming men find their way into your temple to worship with your druids.
>>16920129
During your search for natural resources in your native land, you manage to stumble into some bears.
And by "some", there is ment "an entire army"
Your scouts are promptly slaughtered and the bears are quite happy. So happy, in fact, that they followed the scent of the lone survivor back to your outermost village, tearing most of the buildings to the ground.
Furthermore, somehow, your house burns down. How this happened, you are not sure.

You manage to build a grand longhouse, the envy of empires indeed! Unfortunately it perishes in your housefire. Forsooth!
At least you kept some notes on how to construct it, so you should be able to recreate it without too much effort.

>>16920188
Azlan's merchants gather, and agree to pour quite a few resources into the recruitment process. With great success as well, for you manage to recruit three regiments of footsoldiers, with promises of wealth. (Size: 3)
Many of them are untrained and pathetically incompetent in battle, however. They're not as efficient as more trained infantry.


>>16920258
I tried waiting a bit for you, but as you did not post, I just figured I'd resolve the turn.
Feel free to join in though, we don't bite.

Sorry man, that's on me. This is why I wanted those symbols in the subject field, so I didn't mis shit like that.

You build in your southernmost city, so that you may easily travel across the sea. The port is, in fact, big enough to easily accomodate both travellers as well as trade. You are quite proud of your work with it.

Unfortunately, your attempts at making a proper infrastructure leads to a minor flood in a fiefdom in your northwestern provinces. Such incompetence is rare, in truth.
Your research with metalworking gets you nothing except a couple of lopped of fingers from your smiths.

and the glorious flag:

rolled 6, 6, 10, 6, 6 = 34

>>16920839
and dice

>>16920405
You have managed to greatly improve your infrastructure, bringing it to a level rarely seen in these times. You construct a few marketplaces in your capital, and a bathhouse or two are erected, but your roads are only just finished, and thus not many people yet travel to your marketplaces. Perhaps in a month or a year it will change.

Your bathhouses, however, reek of a fetid odor of disease and some inexplicable type of rank cheese.

>>16920453
With the king's fury backing the hands of the militia, the merchants eagerly fund the construction of the new port, lest his fury be directed inward.
This motivation proves more than enough to make your port one of the grandest this world has yet seen! Your hired contractors are so satisfied with the result, they decide to stay in Estene, for future construction.
In fact, they engineer a wondrous academy, fit for any scholar to teach in, and to learn. There is little lacking from your academy, structurally, and it might indeed be the greatest center of learning there will ever be!
That is, until you realized you have almost no scholars at all to actually teach anything at the academy. That can be rectified, but for now, the academy stands empty.

>>16920543
Metalworking proves to be just as fruitless as last time you tried, but at least no one died.
Although it was very, very close to being the case with quite a few men trying to mix alcohol and smithing, without the expertise to not dip your hand in the molten metal.
You recruit a small unit of miltiamen. Par for the course, really. (Size: 1)
>>16920410
You send all your armed men and women northward to stave off the furry menace! Only too late do you realize, that you have no armed soldiers. The peasants you sent to fight off the veritable army of bears is safe, however, due to the bears having left the village. Thankfully, you won't lose the taxes from your faithful servants.

rolled 3, 2, 10, 8, 6 = 29

No scholars, eh? Well, that shall be rectified!

1,2 - Recruit Scholars
3,4 - Build Navy
5 - Expand to the West

>>16920741
You have some success with the camel trade, making marketplaces featuring camels as their main commodity a normal sight.
You also manage to slightly reduce the bureaucracy, but the paperwork to do that was so long, you lost track. It only had a small effect, but nevertheless, it was there.

>>16920752
You recruit three fairly good militia regiments. Quite a boon! (size: 3)

Everything else, well, goes to shit.
Your iron mine collapses and kills three miners, your royal palace exhausts all your resources and is left half-finished, with shoddy workmanship on top of that, and your expansion is delayed due to your scouts suddenly falling terribly ill. They'll -probably- survive, but it's not certain.

>>16920825
The King of Prussia is indeed an intelligent man, for by his command, Prussia has prospered. The infrastructure has been improved greatly, allowing caravans safe and swift travel within Prussia's borders. Of course, this is only between villages, as remote areas of Prussia still lack major infrastructure. The peasants have, however, learned from your words and paved some of the "roads" with dirt around the edges of Prussia.
Due to the major shifts in infrastructure, Prussia manages to construct rather primitive aqueducts. Not the most impressive in terms of flow or looks, but it gets the job done.
>Sorry for the late update, I'm pretty sick so I accidentally, well, I think it's best left unsaid.

>>16921080
You are greeted by some "scholars" from the South. You have your suspicions regarding their true intent, and thus you manage to not get bamboozled too hard. You do lose a bit of gold in the form of goods they stole from the Academy while being shown around.

Your navy, however, is the greatest there has ever been seen! Mostly due to the fact that navies aren't very widespread, but still! You construct a very impressive fleet of two-tiered "fighting ships". They're able to ram into other ships with their reinforced bow, and you think you could probably build some sort of device to get onto other ships from your own (size: 1)

Your expansion is moderately successful (see map)

>>16921094
Your infrastructure is improved slightly, and trade is blossoming in the cities. Your farmers come all the way to the city to sell their goods, and the result is great prosperity for Aztlan. Your marketplaces still aren't too impressive for foreign merchants, but some spices and other exotic goods trickle in now and again.
Your bathhouses are even more degenerate than ever, but with no alternative, most of the nobility has to wallow in the filth.
It would probably be preferrable to just jump in the river at this point, unless some serious overhauls are made to the bathhouses.

>>16921103
The Council is gathered. The mullahs and imams debate for hours upon hours, but they have reached a consensus. The Caliph will appoint one of the scholars of Islam as the grand mufti, who shall have authority in all spiritual matters. He is, however, granted this authority by the Caliph, and not by God, as many imams point out that it would be sacrilegious to claim that God would choose another human as his mouthpiece. However, this scholar will have final say in the true interpretation of scripture, which is just as good for the clergy.
The expansion south is halted by the intense debate and reformation of the Islamic majority in Morocco.
>>16921232
Your aqueducts are improved greatly, having used some of the copper in your reserves to coat the aqueducts, realizing this lead to far cleaner water. The aqueducts stand tall above the streets, carrying fresh and life-giving water to the nobles as well as the peasantry.

2. Similar Fatwas are issued concerning the importance of education.

5. The formal education system is erected alongside the Idafa system and sponsored by Sufi Orders.

>>16921617
The Grand Mufti is appointed, and his first fatwah is made!
The first fatwah is... something already mutually agreed upon by most scholars. Not much effect came from this, but some of the rabble seems to take it to heart that the principles of their religion aren't just to not drink booze.
Unfortunately, everything else goes horribly wrong. Scholars decry the thought of education outside the deen, the faith. They lash out against the Grand Mufti, and refuse to accept his sources, yet word of this doesn't really get out to the public. Nothing much is changed, except for the Grand Mufti already being seen as incompetent. This probably won't last...
Especially considering the education in grammar stagnates. No devolution, but no evolution either. Nothing much of interest, except for the fact that fewer people take an interest in linguistics... not a good thing for idafa
>by the way, you are aware that idafa is a grammatical thing, right?
Of course, the sponsorship of this new system of grammar fails spectacularly. The education system is not only not erected, every scholar shouts in every mosque that it is indeed the work of the devil to divert oneself from God. In fact, the Sufis are now one of the most hated sects within Morrocan Islam. There's a lot to be done if this is to be changed.

>>16921692
Königsberg is built! Its architecture... simple. Its palace and port, the jewel of the nation! Everything else? Utterly terrifyingly terrible. Everything outside the palace is either a slum, a shady alley or a building. The palace is probably not enough to divert attention from the less endearing elements of the city.
Your find a gold vein north of Prussian territory, in quite hostile terrain. Animals, the landscape itself and the weather are all fairly dangerous obstacles, but by the sound of it, there's a heck of a lot of gold in there.

>>16921763
Your baths rise slightly in hygiene! Only to drop again. The bathhouses are still repugnant, but at least people other than lepers will use it now. Still, no sane man would bathe in the filth that the bathhouse is now.

Your expansion is very, very successful. (see map)

>>16922076
You destroy all the filthy bathhouses. Good riddance! Of course, this just leaves your filthy citizens to wander the streets, but dammit, one thing at a time!
Your marketplaces are marginally improved, but it doesn't really help now that your stinky peasants are in the same place as your food. Not very attractive for merchants.
Still, your roads are now the envy of many a nation, I mean, some of your roads are even paved with bricks!

>>16922115
Your road system is improved, allowing for more camel herds being transported in and out of the country very efficiently. You have even made it so that every road leads to your capital eventually. Of course, they're still not very comfortable to walk on for normal people, but the mounted populace seems happy.

You attempt to encourage specializing, but it doesn't seem to really catch on amongst the craftsmen. They prefer superficial, but very broad areas of expertise. Still, they do seem to get the gist of it, and craftsmen now individually pick a certain area in which they focus. It's entirely individual though, which makes it very ineffective in a larger scale.

>>16922188
You send the newly recruited footmen (size: 1) against the threat in the north!
Of course, they soon realize that nothing especially dangerous comes from something that can be killed with a sword. Rather, it's the journey back and forth that is lethal. You'll have to find a way to fix that. At least none of your footmen died.
You develop a new tactical maneuver. You call it: "The Raging Fury". You haven't tested it in battle yet, but the gist of it is simple: you incite each and every soldier with as much hatred as possible and then just rush them out on the battlefield. Sounded good to your drill instructors, although they haven't used the technique yet.

>>16922249
France expands quite a bit, but is suffering from overextension. Resources are spread very thin, and further expansion will either lead to a destabilized country, or in the worst case scenario, lack of resources for every city not self-sufficient. The results of that should be obvious.

we'll get back to you on that.

>>16922696
Well, I mean, you'd kinda have to go around South America, or Africa...Or through Antarctica.

>>16922423
You've finally made a breakthrough in your bazaar technology. By banning everyone who hasn't taken a bath in the river before attempting to sell theri goods, you've managed to remove the reek of rotten everything. Merchants are eagerly travelling to Aztlan, bringing a modicum of mineral wealth. Mostly copper, iron and bronze. There's not a whole lot of it, but at least it's creating lots of commerce, which is good for your reserves (which, quite frankly, were starting to get drained low).

>>16922445
You send some craftsmen to build a road to the gold deposit up north.
You never did see those craftsmen again.
Still, the road they built was fine. It's not going to help that much against the threats up north, but at least it'll allow you to travel faster between the mine and Prussia.

You first order your royal palace to have all its windows barred shut until Königsberg is deemed worthy of your gaze. Some superficial changes later, and the city is positively sparkling! It's still a hellhole of debauchery and sin, but at least it's neat and clean. You, however, probably don't know that as you refuse to let your windows be opened again.

>>16922451
In an attempt to centralize the government, you send out a call to all noblemen to unite unquestionably under one rule. By the sword, you manage to convince them, albeit only barely. Still, only the noblemen actually follow your orders. The taxes that they supply you with, however, are more than enough to keep your expansion going for quite a while.

>While diplomacy is a free action, establishing actual trade routes requires some rolls, so as to prevent two countries basically playing as one, making them grow way, way faster than they should.

It's about 6 AM where I am, right now

Hey, Anon! Yes, you. Join the game!

>>16922735
i remember trying to do a nb game once. it was a pain in the ass to do all the map stuff.

>>16922735

What do you fucking mean

>get the fucking fill tool to actually fucking work

What kind of archaic piece of shit software are you using, MS Paint 98? Go download Paint.net or some shit and learn to operate tolerance sliders and make maps without AA turned on. Every time I see one of these I feel like more and more like a techno-wizard with the mere knowledge of how to properly operate an image editor.

Disgraceful.

>>16922826
I -am- using paint-net and I -do- know how to operate tolerance sliders. It's on the fucking FAQ.
I don't know why the shit ain't working

>>16922831

Then you should probably stop running this out of courtesy for our ever so sensitive retinas.

>>16922843
perhaps you should fuck off.

>>16922826

>>16922843
I don't mean this spitefully, but I really would like you to try and do the same colouring, or at least something like that on the map. I need to know if it's my software, the map or me that doesn't work like it should.

I'm not going to not run this because you've got sensitive eyes, though.

>>16922859

Uh-huh.

See file name.

>>16922730
You expand succesfully, killing every hint of resistance with ease. Three units of footmen seem to suffice, even despite their lack of formal training.
You don't get very far, but at least you've managed to capture about 50-100 barbarian slaves, or varying gender, age and disposition. Some actually seem sort of happy to be under a civilized rule. (see map)
Doesn't go so well with capturing the criminals, who decide they've had enough of that shit and go on a small crime spree before fleeing Aztlan. They don't really manage to do much, in fact your troops keeps any "riot" completely in check. Most of them do manage to slip away, however

>>16922778
You manage to keep the nobles in check long enough for them to institute several new laws, binding the servants to their masters and to their trade. Formally, they can be freed, but practically, they and their future generations are bound by blood to their trade. Mostly farming.
Still, the nobles seem quite annoyed at the authority that the King is showing. They don't like someone bossing over them. This may prove dangerous to the monarch of France.

>>16922754
You manage to set up several trade posts outside your territory, to the north. They're guarded well enough for you to not have to worry about beastly wolves or bears or other such horrid creatures, while at the same time being safe from the elements. Good thing you had that road, or your builders would have starved to death!
You also establish a University of higher learning, but it's just as hellish as the rest of Königsberg. At least it's a structural marvel, even if it is filled with liberal arts students.

>>16922913
Eh.

Anyways, this is the last turn before I go to sleep.

On account of it being 6 AM and shit

>>16922935
well, there's only one proportionate, reasonable response to this new threat from the interior. first we'll all sit down, have a cup of tea, come to a reasonable consensus, then we'll...
1-2 kill the liberal arts students. make it painful.
3-5 kill the criminals. make it slightly less painful.

i don't care how, just kill them all. burn their bodies, and throw the ashes into the sea. i'll be thrice damned if i have a nation of lib arts majors!

and 6am might be just a bit late...

1-3. Reform the rights of la noblesse, granting an exemption from paying the taille, except for non-noble lands they might possess in some regions of France. Furthermore, certain privileges will be granted to the nobility (the hunt, seigneurial justice, funeral honors etc).

4-5. Begin work on a new Cavalry tactic (research) Chevauchée, a light Cavalry force focusing mainly on wreaking havoc, burning and pillaging enemy territory, in order to reduce the productivity of a region and spreading discontent among the local peasantry.

rolled 4, 4, 1, 2, 7 = 18

>>16922935
EXPAND AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE, AND FARTHER!

>>16923006
You attempt to brutally execute the liberal arts students of the University of Königsberg. It's a smashing success! In fact, it's such a success, that the University is constantly culled for liberal arts students. Day in and day out, the floors of the university run red with blood. This isn't exactly earning you a very nice reputation amongst the populace. Riots break out, and people are killed.

Of course, it goes a lot better with the criminals. While you don't get all of them, you certainly get quite a few, and no one minds their deaths, so it's all good.

>>16923018
The nobles seem very pleased at this turn of events, although they are still extremely suspicious of their monarch. They won't rebel any time soon, however.
Your foray into cavalry yields no impressive results.

>>16923062
You expand relatively without problems.
Your expansion is mostly coverd by your trade, but there aren't many civilized merchants in the Americas. Much more expansion could prove fatal.

1+2) Expand into Scotland and Ireland
3+4) Build mines for iron, coal etc.
5) Construct a port

rolled 1 = 1

God damn it captcha ate my post
>>16925859
You train two regiments of footmen more, just as inefficient as the last two, but still. They seem to be alright.
You expand a bit southward, but the expansion is seriously straining and your peasants in the new south are leading fairly terrible lives. Then again, they're peasants, so who gives a fuck?

>>16925971
You expand successfully! You even get one of the tradeposts to the north into your territory.

>>16926002
You expand into Scotland quite well. The islands are out of reach, however, due to the lack of proper naval transportation.
Ireland? Well...
Let's just say, that mildly spoken, your explorers were all brutally murdered by natives.
The Irish are furious at Albion's expansion into "their" homeland! They will not stand it, and are surging together to prepare for rebellion against their oppressors!
At least, that's what they would claim they were doing, if they weren't moronic troglodytes.

You have found a vein of iron ore in your newly acquired Scotland. It's a very healthy deposit, but the quality is fairly low. When properly forged, you discover it to be slightly less hard than wrought iron, but at least there's a shitload of it!

1) construct a fleet for the transport of troops
2) Build coastal defense forts
3) Smelt the newly found iron into new swords and spear tips
4) Lets speak to the druids, see if they can teach us the mystic arts
5) Try building a palace in the capital city again.

Name:THE GREAT EMPIRE OF CRAZY HASSAN
Government type:A monarchy, one CRAZY HASSAN passes down the throne to the next CRAZY HASSAN
Ideology and/or Religion:The great empire praises the great (albeit slightly used) camel!
Location:Saudi Arabia
Fluff:The glorious empire of CRAZY HASSAN is a desert nation, the streets of their cities filled with bustling people, merchants are literally everywhere, selling everything you could ever want. It truly is a communists nightmare.
Colour on map: The golden yellow of the sands!

Albion pledgdes to defend nations from agressors

Estene and Prussia sign a mutual defence pact.

Objections?

I'm doing this because last game France was steamrolling Europe.

>>16929365

Shizz, forgot trip.

>>16926365
that seems right. next turn let us establish a trade route to solidify this agreement.

Poor France is going to be pissed if he comes back.

Speaking of, should we wait till a time when all the other players are back? I'm sure they bookmarked the thread/know to search the archive to look when the next session is.

rolled 8, 5 = 13

>>16926205
Scholars! Scholars everywhere! They've taken up residence in your academy, but they're still not very good at teaching. They're comepetent by themselves, however.
You discover some lead deposits in your western regions
>>16926241
You expand very fast into the north, but to the west you are met with barbarian savages! They're hostile, but not enough to actually assault Prussia. At least not for now.
>second roll is their recruiting efforts


>>16926245
A fleet! A fleet! You've discovered how to build ships able to ferry several people around in short distances. It's not sturdy enough to actually work out in the sea, and it's not very big, but it certainly allows you to get to the surrounding islands around Albion

Your builders are hard at work, building a most magnificent fort of wood on the western shores of Albion. So marvelous to you, it was, that you ordered your palace to be built as an extension of the fort!
The druids were called from their havens in the mid-north, and convened in the capital to attempt to teach the mystic ways of the green life-giver to the rest of the populace. They went to the palace, to give you a first-hand impression of its splendor. You were out to speak to the rabble, however, and they decided to begin without you. The rituals led them to be so absent-minded they didn't even notice the entire fort crashing into the sea.
Probably shouldn't have built it on easily corrodable iron.

At least the plants the druids brought to the capital are still available, and there is certainly much to be learned from these.

>>16926469
Ireland attempted to begin their protests against Albion, with a roaring speech from their leader! Unfortunately, he had stolen one of the sheep from one of his rivaling tribesmen. This resulted in a battle between the two, with loyalists to the rebellion on one side and supporters of Irish justice on the other.
The entire fighting force of Ireland has been demolished, and the "country" is in a civil war.

>>16926471
Sorry for the delay, but I was waiting for Hassan's actions this round. They never came

Ah, I was waiting for confirmation, sorry!


Hassan paced in his room, thinking how boring all this SAND was, honestly! There was to much goddam sand, and not enough.. metal! Hassan quickly set about sending camels to create mines and begin to search for minerals and reserves and such. He also set the farmers to go make the crops bettter, while he paced the entire time. He has been pacing for thirty years now.

Rolls 1-2: mining!
Rolls 3-4: Survey the land for minerals for mining
Roll 5: Farm, POTATOES!

Might as well take advantage of the chaos in ireland!

1+2) I send our fleet over to Ireland's tribes laden with troops armed with- food. We offer them equal status as members of our kingdom under the rule of law.
3) Research the druids herbs, perhaps they offer medicinal properties.
4) Build a road network for transport needs
5) Establish a legally based apprenticeship system, so that knowledge and skills may be taught from generation to generation.

so how do we want to divide up europe? Albion obviously gets the british isles, and Estene gets spain. if i could be assured most of germany, Albion Sweden/norway, and Estene italy, corsica, sicily i think that would be an equitable division.

I've got no objections to that division, Byzantium should be compensated for the loss of Italian expansion by exclusive rights to the Balkans and Black Sea.

Main focus if that division is to be made secure is containing France, possibly by giving exclusive rights to a colonial territory.

Alexander's genius knows no bounds! He has devised a strange spear, several meters in length. It certainly seems to have potential, although Alexander the 1st didn't quite think too much about how to actually use these new spears.
You expand to the west (see map)

>>16926489
You recruit three entire regiments of footmen, all eager to serve! While just as inept as your first platoon, they have a far greater morale boost (size: 1+3)

You attempt to establish a trade route, but every emissary you send and every caravan is raided. By whom? No one knows. Probably devils.


>>16926508
You survey for minerals to mine, and find the land very generous. Two veins of copper and one of tin are found, and you immediately start building a mine!

At the same time, you have attempted potato farming. It turns out, however, that the potatos are indeed evil! At least, that's what the farmers said when they turned sick from the potatoes, which were disease-ridden due to vermin and other critters. This affected your mining ventures, leading to the deaths and collpase of both copper mines, although your tin mine is intact and produces quite a bit of metallic wealth. In fact, you're probably the biggest tin-nation in the world at the moment.

rolled 8, 5 = 13

>>16926517
You send your fighting fleet to Ireland, hoping to capitalize on their weakness! The mission is a great success, partly due to your recent breakthrough in druididc medicine. The plants' resin is an extremely potent painkiller, which the Irish gladly accept. You board some of the Irish leaders on your fleet, but the fleet never returned to Albion. A storm destroyed the entire fleet (-1 fighting fleet)
The Irish are mad as all hell, and have decided to pick up their resistance again! Recruiting efforts are in swing
You attempt to establish a proper apprenticeship system, but due to the inadequance of the pupils, the level of craftsmanship in Albion drops to an abysmal low point. The masters will hardly speak to the fledgling craftsmen, and are outraged at such incompetence from the lawmakers.

Your phalanxes are disciplined forces to be reckoned with! Both your infantry regiments are now trained in the use of the spears (size: 2, total 2 phalanxes and one fleet).

You attempt to set up trade with Prussia, but the ships simply cannot stand against the tides, and are sunk by the harshness of nature.

>>16926856
Your advisors have developed new tactics in warfare, and reformed your most skilled footmen into pragmatic soldiers, all uniformly dressed and equipped, among other things. This new type of soldier is quite efficient, especially when faced with new threats.

You establish a land-based trade route with Estene, increasing commerce in both countries substantially.

>>16927095
Your bows are the most impressive in the world, as you learn that laminating horn, sinew and wood together leads to a much improved bow, far more effective at its purpose than a purely all-wood bow. Unfortunately, these bows take far longer to make, but you have time.
During a scouting run to the north, you run into several packs of bears. They do not like humans, which is easily seen during their attacks on your scouting parties. You'll have to get rid of them before you can expand northward

The Irish barbarians have finally managed to pull themselves together long enough to start recruiting. Their forces are mobilising!
The ones west of Prussia simply recruit some more men to their cause (size:1+1)

>Die 1 for Irish, die 2 for the German
