I'm not as cornered as you may think, mate ;)Besides, I specifically requested that location - plus those two territories, if I'm not mistaken, belong to House Hastings. And for whatever reason he has decided to have an excessive number of troops for his size, so it wouldn't be that easy.

I meant if I could block off the border to the rest of your territories, you couldn't gain anymore reinforcements, leaving the other fief to a flat out siege/ Meaning all I would need to do is attack your fields and wait out your starvation. But no, I am not a conquering man.

@Flooby, I have 18, not 19. Where are you getting 19?

They say that when a rattlesnake is cornered it will fight the fiercest. Honestly, I'm kind of envious of Fortune's position. There's only 2 other nations that Pelateria has to be worried about. I'm sharing my borders with... 5 other lords.

Map is done! See the OP and open the map hider for the complete and sexy list!

@ Cale: Lies!

You have 8 fiefs, Stouffer has 3, Vealcook has 1, and Fisher had 7, but I added 1 to make the map work, so they have 8.

8 + 3 + 1 + 8 = 20

Which is how many fiefs you have on ze map.

EDIT: Copying all sheets into OOC, then making IC post. Gird your hakims.

Erm, nevermind, the OP literally ran out of room.

Two OPs will be made in the OOC.

You gave me another? I demand 1,000 troops be added to one of those fiefs, otherwise I will be too apread out to make any good defense.

You know my demands are requests

Actually, 50 longboats were given to the Fishers. That should be a good equivalent.

Still need to finish everyone's OOC information, which apparently can't all fit into one post, but I thought I'd let everyone get a head-start on the IC and their orders.

Everyone's lands will be copied by me into a separate post in the OOC tomorrow morning/afternoon. If I've got time after that, the Church and Overlord sheets will be done. Neither of these are essential functions to the RP, as I can keep up with these stats quite well without posting them on a forum, but it makes things quite convenient.

The new buildings I promised will actually be posted in the new rules update I'm going to put in tonight. I should have enough energy to copy-paste them. :P

Several tips/notes before you make your IC post/Orders:

* I need to have your orders finalized by next Tuesday. If you miss more than two seasons, you're out of the game, and your lands will fall to chaos.

* Every season is four months, so think ahead with your actions, because you can get a lot done in that time!

* On the note of time, the only way you'll be able to respond to threats mid-season is if you post patrols or build Watchtowers ( details of which are coming tonight).

* To protect trade routes, you may post a patrol on a specific trade route, thus guarding it from anywhere, or post a patrol in your lands. As each town as many trade routes, it can get expensive to keep every single trade route adequately protected, since a force of 50 to 100 men is needed to keep a trade route safe from bandits, but just patrolling your own fiefs for bandits means that only bandits in your land will be prevented from raiding your trade routes. If another player doesn't post patrols, their trade routes are fair game to bandits.

* If you aren't sure what to post in the IC, make a post about an interaction at court. You make as many IC posts as you wish per season, and can focus them on individuals, as formal House missives, as a letter, or however you like! If you can't make an IC post in a week, you won't be kicked so long as you've made your orders, so don't fret if you have writer's block!

* Lastly, have fun! It's a game, afterall. A most dangerous game. <3
