(Grand Prophet Skyraker, are you still in? If so, tell me and I'll add you to the map.)

Anyone that has not yet defined their army and navy in terms of "How many Infantry/Cavalry/Etc. regiments do you have", please add that in the Ledger document. Actually, please fill in any missing data. Thanks in advance.

Greetings, rulers, royals and republicans!
Chancellor here. I'm sorry yesterday's turn didn't get updated - I had an appointment I forgot about, which messed my entire schedule up.
When we left off, the United Principality of Wassten was in serious danger of total collapse, the Kattinkrat Noble Republic was fighting a desperate defense against the hordes of the Northern Reich, and greedy eyes turned towards the lands of the East...
(If you want to join, read the next couple of posts.)
>TURN RESULTS

>REICHSFUEHRER SNAKE
You engage several prominent members of the priesthood in theological debate, and astound all of them with your Biblical knowledge. This, combined with your incredible mercy to the traitor, ordering him to be given a proper burial, means that most of your men and several clergymembers, even other Hordes' troops, are now unified behind your claim to theological rule, though it will take the destruction of these pagans to fully convince the last doubters.
>Non nobis domine! Destroy the heathens first.

>The Catholic Faith needs a leader, and I shall be just that. Disregard those who question me and have myself anointed Pope!
You order your men to lay siege to Ksov and Kate's. Initially, this seemed tough, as the pagans know the land well, and launched many raids, so you decide to inspect your offensive capabilities at Ksov. When you arrive, rain pouring down from the sky, a veritable miracle happened - lightning struck from the sky, smashing the gates of the fort! Seeing this as a sign from the Lord, you rally your men and lead the charge, slaughtering everyone inside. After sending one horribly mutilated defender to Kate's, they quickly decide to accept your offer of surrender. The Forts are yours!

>KRATTYR BOVESKOV
With the forts fallen, you decide to fortify what land you have left. The walls around your cities are strengthened, and the peasantry is trained in archery to help defend the walls.
>Add 1000 Archers
The fortification of what once were mere temporary settlements has led to an increasing number of people settling down there for protection. You number amonst the people that abandoned the nomadic ways. Sadly, this has led to you losing the respect of those who already contested your rule, and even those that still follow you faithfully have stated they will not even consider settling down before this war is over.
>The Hordes not directly under your control will now wage independent guerillia wars. roll 1d100 every turn to see how they fare. If you survive this war, you can roll on the Government Table and change government. Re-roll any outcome of 'Nomadic Tribes'. You can add or substract up to your Stewardship score from the roll result.

You did your best to organize a relief effort, but not much could be missed; of the things your nation has aplenty, the colonies need none - spices do not sustain a man. They prove to be quite hardy, though, and at least the colony survives.

Your search for allies in the nobility proves to be a better bet; their powers constrained by the House of Viziers, many noble youths, not remember the atrocities of your insane predecessors, long for a return to the feudal system. You find several skilled and loyal men!

Seeing the tensions in the North, you demand that your scientists increase their efforts in producing cannons. This rush, however, led them to field-test highly sensitive prototypes which malfunctioned, destroying both the prototypes and some of your researchers!

You attempt to start standardizing pike measurements. Although your military advisors quickly settle on a desirable length, local warriors resist, claiming the longer or shorter pikes feel unnatural. Figuring out a length that works for everyone will take some time.
Meanwhile, you order the construction of a giant statue, to piss o- impress the people of the Isle O' Pine.

You send out geologists to find you mineral wealth. Alas, they return empty-handed.
Fortunately - or it seems so at first - those you sent to seek men of science do not. They bring with them a man whose eyes continually dart around in paranoia. Before you can even welcome him, he takes a knife and draws blood from his arm, spitting a curse in an ancient and terrible language.

Also, guys, how do you propose we limit everyone's military and navy to a sane level? It should obviously be linked to your Wealth Level, but I'm kinda fuzzy on how to exactly pull this off, so any suggestions are welcome. Same goes for battles and sieges, I can't get much further than "Troop Quantity and Quality as well as Ruler's Martial should influence the competitive roll of Attacker vs. Defender".
>>
>>814628
What about giving everyone 15 thousand troops and 25 ships and our rolls dictate what those troops and ships are?
>>
>>814628

For army size: Wealth level + population size x 1000= max number of men.

With cavalry counting as 2 men, elephants as 10, dragons as 20 and so on.

Obviously not those exact numbers, they're just an example. But something along those lines.

Modifiers would have to be applied for any terrain/quality/outnumbering/leaders/whateverthefuckelse as you see fit.

For a siege, additional modifiers would have to be used to reflect the standards of siege equipment/fortifications on each side.

I'd also suggest maybe making major seiges and battles last more than one roll to prevent a single critfail/success deciding a war. Give the winner of the last roll a bonus on the next to reflect their momentum though.


At the end of the day though, do what you want, you're the GM. Go with your gut and do whatever seems right to you. That's both your right and responsibility as GM.
>>
>>814664
That sounds good.
Let's see:
>MANPOWER
>Wealth Level + Population Level + Ruler Stewardship x1000 = Maximum Manpower (Add 10% if your Military Strength is Strength in Numbers)
>Manpower Cost Per Soldier:
>Footman: 1
>Spearman: 1
>Archer: 2
>Cavalry: 3
>Gunman: 3
>Siege Engine: 5
>Special: Variable

>SIEGES
>Defender adds Fortification Level x10 to Roll. Base Fortification Level is 2 for Forts, 3 for Major Cities and 4 for Capital.
>Attacker adds SIege Weapon Level x10 to Roll, plus an additional 15 if you have High-Quality Siege Weapons as your Military Strength). Base Siege Weapon Level is 1 and increases by research.
>The attacker must beat the Defender in a Competitive Roll+Martial an amount of times equal to the Fortification Level of the besieged settlement to win. Critical success counts as two victories, critical failure as -1.

>BATTLES
>Competitive Roll+Martial
>Every 1000 soldiers you have more than your enemy adds +3 to your roll
>Disciplined Troops add +5 to the Roll
>Brilliant Tacticians add +7 to the Roll
>If you have High-Quality Troops, they gain a +10 that applies only if they A) Act alone or B) Outnumber your non-HQ troops.
>Spearmen get +15 against Cavalry
>Footmen get +10 against Spearmen
>Archers and Gunmen get -10 in Close Combat
>Dragons get +20 against everything not specifically designed/trained to fight Dragons. Do not fuck with Dragons.
>You kill or rout 1000 of the enemy's men for every ten you win the roll by, rounding down (so if you win by 17, you kill/rout 1000 men, etc).
>A crtitical success on your part or a critfail on the other means you A) Kill the opposing General - you have a +5 bonus for this battle and the enemy loses their Brilliant Strategists modifier for this battle if appliciable or B) inflict double the amount of casualities.
>A critfail on one side and a simultaneous crit success on the other practically decides the battle.
>Special troops and misc. modifiers get +/-Variable
>A battle is decided when one side retreats, surrenders or is wiped out.
Any suggestions?
>>
>>814747
Oh, and have the army/navy you start with be (Roll)% of your Max Manpower - go down 10% to take a +5 HQ troops bonus or up 10% to take a -5 Shit Troops penalty?
Max Naval Power uses the same rules as Manpower, except it's x10. A Heavy Ship takes 5 Naval Power, a Light Ship takes 3 and enough transports to transport 1000 men takes 1.

For my three turns, I want to try to

2.I want to once again try to establish new mineral wealth around the empire. Send out those same geologists but tell them there will be punishment for failure.

I'm not sure what my starting army and navy was supposed to be so I've simply added in what all I've been told thus far.

1. Army Training

The Reich has refused to accept the terms of any sort of surrender. It's clear what they want is genocide. People will be conscripted if need be to serve as pikemen, and our armor industry will be set to work providing adequate body armor to reduce the impact of horse archery.Equally important is the development of proper field tactics to counter the threat of cavalry.

2. Flank Attack
While the hordes wage a guerrilla campaign the Kattinkrat Navy, easily one of the strongest in the world (based on my 94 roll for it), will take mercenary forces (1k foot, 1k archer, 1k spear) around south to strike the Reich's undefended coastlines and cause havoc. The mercenaries can keep whatever they loot as incentive.

3. Medicine Research

4. Guerrilla War roll
