Lovely post fiendish. It was a good read!

I did not want to pay heed to nation exports so much at first, but looking at how some have more uses than others makes me doubt my export choices. Pearls are, well - not so useful?

you have cattle import from erimir, ask meeky for more info

Now I'm awake and aware, this is true. You have cattle. Use them wisely. No strapping spears to their heads.

"Pearls and pearl-oyster shells have long been used as jewellery items by humans. However, these are not the sole uses for this renewable resource. The adductor muscle can be eaten and is used in cuisine in a number of different regions. The shell itself is often worked either into simple jewellery or more complex furniture and other decorative items. Finally, the pearl oyster shell is increasingly used for its health benefits.

Historically, the largest use of the pearl resource was for mother of pearl (MOP), also called nacre. This shell material was used for buttons and this aided the emergence of important shell collecting industries in Mexico, Australia, French Polynesia. The finding of natural pearls was often just a side-product of this activity. " To quote some website I looked at a second ago.

Basically they're the love of highborn ladies, and their shells provide some other uses. Mainly though, as stated, they're considered a luxury, and people pay a lot of money for them... because they are precious...

Fiend, do you want Syrian to roll the dice and decide our battle or discuss it in a pm on who wins what.

I sent you a PM already :) I'm happy either way!

Think of it this way, some resources don't make your wealth rise that much but are very useful(ex: lumber) but others rise your wealth more(ex: pearls)

Edit: fiend and I want you to decide the outcomes of our battles Syrian.

Yeah Syrian, as Titantic said we want you to decide. I'll make a post detailing my moves, you decide the outcome and then Titantic repsonds in his own post.

Thank you very much! I'm enjoying everyone's posts!

I have to make a post first to finish some things first. Don't post yet

I'll be sending some aide to you, titanic.

maybe, i will not post for a day or more, my creativity is going on vacation, i will inform when he is back.

Fiend, you can start the invasion. Just read my last comment on the PM

Alright people, I'm showing a great deal of interest in this war, and I have a few things I would like to know:

Titanic:

- Is the rebellion put down? Or has it just been dealt a severe blow?

- Where did these mountains in the South come from? It seems a bit convenient. If they were always there, that's fine, but please reference an earlier post to prove so.

- How big are these border forts? Are they made from stone or wood?

- Am I right in thinking that at present, only two thirds of your army are in the South? With the rest on its way?

I appreciate your time, but it's important I make sure there's no trickery going on. Player-wars can get awfully ugly if things aren't clarified.

- Is the rebellion put down? Or has it just been dealt a severe blow?-Pretty much put down but a few will still remain, not enough to do anything.

- Where did these mountains in the South come from? It seems a bit convenient. If they were always there, that's fine, but please reference an earlier post to prove so. Exactly nvm the mountains. The terrain is just rough with the forts built on the four best routes into Bahapore. Either way, you have to capture at least two neighboring forts unless you want to get attacked from behind

- How big are these border forts? Are they made from stone or wood?
A mix of both, I got the idea from GoT. Designed to withstand a invasion by Bohaddon

- Am I right in thinking that at present, only two thirds of your army are in the South? With the rest on its way?
Slightly more than half are located among the forts and half are coming from the north, lake region, and Elthana

Cheers bud.

I'm hear to help things along if you two get into disagreements, but I would rather any conflict remain clean and fair, and that I don't need to get involved. Remember, it's not always about being the victor - more often it's about being able to write an epic, full of defeats and victories, stalemates and breakthroughs etc.

Have fun!

I just need a quick war, got something important to do in this RP. Really important...

Are my reinforcements included / will they make it in time? I am aware that you have requested military aid for quite some time, but I was a little too late to have answered.

On their way, they shouldn't arrive till after fiendish's first attacks.

Sorry that took so long to post, I got very invested in the character of Callus. Anyway the attack is taking place, just didn't want to write about it until Syrian finds out who will win. Oh, and the three groups of troops are comprised roughly like so:
1,000 Legionnaires
2,666 Archers
166 Knights

And as for the navy, the full force is attacking.

I also want this war to end quickly, and to that end, I'm not advancing past your forts should I capture them, I'll probably try and negotiate peace, and then retreat most of my troops.

Panda-Man, I'll respond to your diplomatic proposal in my next post when the Ducis hears the outcome of the battle, sorry about the wait!
