good point.

A few more questions for Kad:

How would we grow our militaries beyond what we have now?
How would the re-enforcing of regiments or replacement of dead ones work?
When we lose a commander can we replace them?

i'd just like to share with you all an incomplete part of my national fluff about the "exotic goods" that I like to trade with.

"These Angelians do another specialty, these ‘Celestine Crystals’ as they call them. They look like shiny crystals, little bigger than a thumb or a finger and the colour of quartz but by all the gods known and unknown they taste magnificent! I’ve tried sugar a few times before in my travels but this, this is simply so much better in every way. The sweetness just rolls in your tongue for so long from just one piece and it gives you this sort of…buzz. I can’t explain it, I feel so awake, I can feel the air as I breathe and I get this sort of energy that just…I cant describe it but it’s gunna be a good seller I can bloody tell!

They make all sorts with these Crystals from hard candied sweets, use them to bake with to make these delicious cake treats and even refine it into a kind of liquid version, almost like alcohol but in this form it becomes milder but the taste and feeling lasts for so much longer. Plus it aint bad mixing when you mix it with their delicious wines"

Perhaps this is it;s way of getting back at you for joining the grammar nazi camp?

Everyone is doing it, so I might as well jump off the cliff :p

Here's my revised army for review:

All of these can be answered with one answer.

After a set period of IC time a nation undergoes a growth stage, basically, I give people some points to claim territories adjacent to themselves. Then they get some points for raising new regiments, some of these points can go to replacing destroyed or damaged regiments. The same goes for commanders, but! Commanders won't be able to bought straight off of the bank. They have to start at the lowest rank and rise through it over time.

If I want to make use of my Greek Fire, I do not need the War Engines trait right? It's usable on jsut basic siege equipment?

Also, if we want to deploy siege engines on the battlefield and not necessarily on an actual siege can we without the War Engines trait?

Plus, you said that commanders that are killed can be replaced but with lesser skilled ones, does that mean the point cap remain the same. Say if I lost a Celestine Hero of the Realm I can replace them with 2 Lords/Commanders?

War engines as I understand it are effectively primitive tanks. Least that's nominally what its represented in previous games.

You don't need the War Engines trait no for Greek Fire, though you need to use something like Trebuchets instead of a standard tension based catapult, mangonel or ballista. (Shattering pots etc)

And Gat's got the right of it, War Engines are basically primitive tanks. Like those that Leonardo Da'Vinci conceptualised (except with no cannon, instead Ballista or Catapults etc.)

Light ones would be similar to da-vinci's designs. Heavy would be like Warhammer Fantasy's Steam Tanks.

Not soon. Only during a growth period. Though it is also possible for an officer to 'randomly' rise from the ranks. (Purely battle related, during peace-time there is no chance for lesser men to shine.)

Note:
You may be approved and your nation has been added with a permalink in the first post, but even in that case and say days or a week or two may pass by while your nation is 'approved' there will be a final round of checks on each sheet to check for oddities and such and only then will you be fully approved.

This just takes time due to real life getting in the way for any of us to check the sheets fully. So bear in mind that some of you might get a pm asking something to change or edit even days after you have been approved initially.

With regards

Actually admitting you're a minion now Sarz... how far you have fallen.

Well I might just recheck my sheet.

Hey I have been called a boy toy, minion, slave, butler and worse let people think i've accepted my place, or so it appears... I will be plotting my revenge from the shadows.

This is not taking bureaucracy into account, am I right? Office job promotions tend not to have war as a prerequisite.

On another unrelated note.

I HOPE to get this rolling this weekend. No promises, but if your sheet is still awaiting approval (except you Nex, I know it is and will do final checks on it tomorrow morning), please PM me the permalink.

Bureaucracy don't count as true leaders and commanders. The "buyable" leaders and commanders without magical talent are buyable because they're something of a badass, and no matter how cursive the script, no matter how flowery, no matter how many gregorians shed a tear over the beauty of your accounts books and journals, pen-pushing still isn't badass.

It's large, gaudy, and sure to draw the attention of every bandit in a hundred mile radius. It's perfect for your nation, Iur! ;p
