[OOC] Sword and Shields - Medieval Warfare

[HazmatMedic]

Yes, we are still accepting. Its open until every region is occupied.
We will start before then, obviously

[Innovative Engimas]

I will cut down, I may revamp again. Idk yet, I was shooting for communistic/spartan type of goverment.

[The Incredible John]

Do you guys still have room for one more?

[Innovative Engimas]

John where are you putting your nation, so I know for next one I'm scraping Borvans.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Ugh, I take back my claim on Coatlpan. So if anyone wants a nation there now they can do it. I'm not quiting the RP, I'm just having trouble coming up with a satisfactory Nation Sheet and a nation that doesn't leave me feeling like I won't want to play them in a few days.

Anywhere really but if possible, I'm placing it at Anaga

[Innovative Engimas]

Just a fyi the only ones that have the thick plate armor are the Heavy Calvary and and Black Iron Legion. Basic infantry have anything from ring to scale mail. The nation isn't that wealthy fyi. But I scaled them down and gonna hold my tounge.

[HazmatMedic]

Its not the type of armour, it's the numbers. 1 in 20 is fairly excessive of an army.

[The Incredible John]

I would say that superior strategy and tactics play their role too.

[Innovative Engimas]

Not to nit pick but gowia had a smaller population to the same amount roughly. But I'm not gonna insert foot in mouth.

He has PMed me about it, I will be editing it tonight. :)

[Innovative Engimas]

Mine are dropped though. Fyi who ever exports salt my nation will be buying large quantities of it.

[HazmatMedic]

Ok, let's keep things passive.
Any, and I mean ANY army with an active, non-emergency civillian-to-soldier ratio of more than 25 : 1 will be asked to cut down. In a state-of-emergency - Half the country occupied, two or more neighbouring countries at war with each other (but not involving your country) or at war with two or more neighbouring military pacts (Not individual countries) - then up to 30% of the population may be drawn in to a emergency war force. Be aware that the emergency warforce will eat into your funds, and will consequently impoverish the surviving population

It's a tad confusing, so imagine this.

Country X has a population of 10,000,000. It borders countries A, B, C and D. It has 10 major cities with even population spread.
At a 25:1 Poulation:Soldier rate, they have a total of 400,000 Soldiers over a variety of groups. This does not include Militias, Private armies, Mercaneries etc. (Which, if you have reasonable justification and there are no probkems with everything adding up right, are immune to population limits)
If X is attacked by A, it must fight with those 400,000 men. If attacked by A and B seperately, it may declare SoE and pull out a 3,000,000 defensive force. If A and B united as a group, it may not. If C attacks as well, independently to the A-B alliance, it can declare SoE, regardless of D's relationship with it's neighbours.
If A goes to war with B, then SoE may be declared in X. If A goes to war with Y, a country overseas, X may not declare SoE.
If X loses 5 of its cities, then the population is halved. Out of the remaining 5,000,000, SoE will be declared and the Emergency Army will countain 1,500,000 troops.

Emergency armies CAN liberate occupied territory, but CANNOT leave their own country. Also, for every member of the EA, the workforce is reduced, which reduces economy and production.

[gowia]

Since we are creating a history Enigma, of a joint nation splitting perhaps I sell you what you need and you sell me what I need? Obviously trade with others will happen.

[Innovative Engimas]

True. I'm gonna need vegtables, grains and salt (top priority).

[gowia]

Ahhh, well grains and veg for me are coming from Faulty (Discussed in PM) as their nation goes into mine whilst salt I can supply you. I need wood, grains and veg. Perhaps you can supply me with wood?

[Innovative Engimas]

I can since supplies of that are vast with me. And since you got metal workers I can supply that to you also

[gowia]

Sounds good, I then sell you pack the worked metal in the form of tools, arms etc.

EDIT: Also could there be a nation dump made.

[Innovative Engimas]

Work tools yes, since my nation is more military oriented I will have my own arms makers. Tools would be need greatly since the constant excavation of ore. Cause if your trading salt that's a big expense as it it. Salt in that time was almost like gold. Dump trade?

[gowia]

Mmmm maybe. If I am trading salt I want to see who else is buying it first.
