KnightTime I: Rulers of the World

[Gunther]

Operation Golden Wolf
The Army of Ruthenia continues to move troops from central and eastern regions of the empire into Posin, Kashubia. The Army of Kashubia is now located in Gross Bergland within five miles of the border with Aggony. They are staging for the upcoming training exercise. The III Corps were still on the railhead moving toward Posin.

Business men, merchants, freight haulers and travelers moving from the Branden-Ruthenian Empire heading into Aggony could be heard telling tales of a massive troop build up by the B-R Empire along the Aggony border. Will this information fall upon the ears of the Aggony leadership?

Monsur Iron Works
Several prototypes for the Breach loading cannons have been tested. Several have actually cracked and the scientists are having a difficult time acquiring a tight seal on the breach before igniting the propellant. They continue to work on the cannon and hope to have some improvement with a month's time.

Western Montpelier
the Branden Rail continued to lay track from Mien in the direction of Montpelier. They now have thirty five kilometers to go before they completed their tack bed into Montpelier. The construction of the railbed is now forty five kilometers from Vereux.

Klanshe Brider, an Aggony general reports to the leader: "Sir, a Branden force is not long away from the border between Branden-Rutheran empire and Aggony."
"What!!? Tell all the regiments at the east to move near the border. I want skirmishers to be placed in position at the border. The infantry will not engage unless our skirmishers can't handle them. Do not fire if they don't attack." "Yes, sir!" Klanshe responded.

One of the scout boats came back, from going around the other countries territories, the ship was built to be fast, and quiet with a low profile, and most would think it was a fishing boat or something, however if one got close it wouldn't be a sail boat of any kind they have seen, but the captain would simply say, it was his own make, so he could get out early for better fish or something.

The news was good, no war had erupted yet on the main lands, and there was no trouble given.


Menwhile another ship was off the coast of KN(East), IPL/SC (West), HOS (North east slightly), and Aggony (North West slightly), it was kind of like a Galley, but smaller, and with none of the other kingdoms markings, other than the name on the hall, that said "(Azores Medea)AM: Vista Horizons" and was flying fisher ship flags... and it was fishing.

Another ship the AM: Dawn, was off the coast of Swissland (south east), Celtibero (North West), and CW(South west).... same thing, fishing flags, and apparently fishing.


All ships had orders not to engage enemies, unless fired on first, without Provocation, or warning, but would be happy to talk to people over tea, despite their appearance, and being captained by females, as well as crewed... Another difference between Azores and the mainland. However each could fight well if needed. but they hoped it wouldn't come to that.

A trading ship from Swissland makes it to the island nation of Azores. The ship's crew is very intrigued by the island and it's beauty and the kindness of it's people considering how much Warman likes his......war.

The captain of the ship steps off with his crew and after being greeted with the local population he meets with a high ranking person of the island. He states to him that "We are here to start trading with your island nation" the captain says. "We have brought a few patels of wood and some gold bars" he says. "Sorry we bring not to much but Swissland does not have much to trade, and some of we do trade is food, which might not make it here...... Would you be able to trade us some metals for our industry and exotic leather for our citizens?"

[Trooper]

The harbour crew welcomes the Azores ship. An Aggony naval manager and some chiefs go to talk to Azores ship crew to say what they can do for the visits.

Aggony increases more mining areas. An Aggony trader goes to Swissland to trade gold for seafood.

Chapter 1:
The Storm Approaches;




The nations start the new year of 18,048 YL fresh and energizes.... Well, most of them anyhow. For the Nations of the Branden-Rutherian Empire,CW Empire,Kingdom if IPL-SC,Aggony and Swissland, it is. All of their nations are upgrading their armies, building their economies, building news schools and so on. There are new advances in military, art,science and so on coming from these nations, Swissland and Branden-Rutherian Empire especially. The rest of the KnightTime continent not so much..... WoC been struggling to get all of their citizens to unite under one single banner and stop having useless debates. Celtibero, once a strong empire, is now weak. Many people look to their female leader with suspicious eyes. Can she lead us to greatness they say. Hos Empire is becoming stronger but needs a strong leader. Devotio is in the same spot of WoC. The RTK Kingdom (Located at the KNT spot on the map) was strong but also needs a good leader.....Can the current one do the job?

The Swissland Empire is expanding its Military. It is now up to 400,000 men, increasing it by 50,000 men. The men are mostly marines and sailors with a cavalry unit to be used as a mobile reserve corps in case of invasion. The King of Swissland is deciding to build a Medium size fortress in and around the city of Port. This is increasing the number of jobs in Swissland, which is not a major industrial power yet expect around the Innsbruck and the northern towns. Swissland has major railroads from Castle 2_5_2 to 4 locations, to White Oak, to Innsbruck, To Pitts, and to Farimus and some minor railroads to. The King is putting 2 million talers into this fortress along with 2 million extra dollars into increasing railroads in the nation. The rest of it he is keeping in reserve for emergencies. He is also introduction new training for his army as well. Warman is loved by most of his people and all of his men though some of the other nations can’t say the same. He sees himself as the Protector of KnightTime. He has made a trade deal with Aggony,IPL-SC and Celtibero. His nation made an alliance with Celtibero recently as well. His nation as average amount of people in the workforce.


The Branden-Rutherian Empire has a huge railroad system and is conducting military exercises on several borders. While Swissland and CW Empire have not been offended by this, and Swissland might partake in the Wargames, Aggony fears for an attack on them. Swissland, while they want to do wargames, is keeping an eye on the situation as they sit in the middle of a snake pit in the words of Warman. They are still a strong force with a leader who seems to be loved by this people and his men. This Empire is a rival to Swissland for the Protector of KnightTime, no matter what people say. Their people are employed. They are also doing testing for their weapons as well.


The CW Empire, while they have many railroads, is not as industrial as the other nations. They have many weapons factories in their towns but they are a farming based nation, more then Swissland is. They are in turmoil with their leader, he seem to disappear as of late. They have a massive population and a army, creating some tension on the nations they border. They have slightly high number of unemployed workers.


The Celtibero nation is OK but needs to modernize fast. With a Warrior Queen as the King of Swissland calls her, they may get out of this mess fast.


WoC, being as peaceful as they are, do not like Swissland. They see them as “warlike” as Branden and CW but trying to be peaceful like them. They think Swissland tries to influce them too much and WoC leader is trying to build up foreign alliances and his own military to , not attack, but to defend against one. They have an average amount of railroads.


IPL-SC is a small nation population wise with only two major railroad routes. They are highly civilized though with a strong small army and navy. They have a trade deal with Swissland and looking to trade with other nations to.




Aggony Kingdom is a strong kingdom army wise like Swissland,CW, and Branden Rutherian. They have a moderate amount of railroads and are looking for trade deals. They have a position on the map which is not too bad for them.

The Kingdom of the RTK is an interesting nation with a good railroad system, a decent army plus their merc force and so on. They got everything working for them.

The HoS Empire has a decent military and is trying to expand their trade and alliances. They are on rocky relationships with Aggony but enjoy OK relationships with Devotio and RTK.




Here we go! Deadline for game orders is 4/8/2013!

After the military parade, the King was pleased, very pleased by what he saw. 18049 was coming and he just hoped his military will perform like this in the field if it were to come to that. His hussar performed greatly along with the rest of his units on the parade ground, impressing all the observers.

Loran shook his hand, "And I am supprized you do not call us Heathen or unrighteous Zealots for how we dress," she said, "As for exotic Leathers, We deal with a speical organic rubber called latex, what leather we have, we cherish, we can also share some obsidian with you, as for food, your men look like they could use some, it isn't easy to get here, because of the wind, and weather barrier around here, it looks nice but the wind and sudden changes about 40 miles off, can be horrible..." she then smiles and some of the local village girls bring out fruits and other stuff they have never seen before, "please make yourselves at home, and don't take anything, till you are healthy again." she said.

The AM: Vista Horizons docked, and the women on board bowed, "Thank you for allowing us to harbor here, all we can offer you though is some of our Volcanic Glass and some of the spices we have... we are not people of Wealth or money like you are sir...." The Captain said, her outfit was highly appealing.

Azores Medea, I island country off to the South west of Devotion, was not a warring nation, nor had any reason to join in any fighting, but if push came to shove, they could dish out, when needed. Other than the exotic ways the people dressed and their lack of needing money.... everything was fine for a vacation, assuming no one caused trouble.
