[OOC] Colliding Worlds: Europe 1200 AD

[NewSun]

'The Isarimer

7,000 (45% casualties)

vs

Belarus 10,000

Human army retreats, 40% cut down or desert. 6,000 remain in Minsk.Must be breached and the garrison destroyed before region is claimed.'

My fault for not double checking this, but I think you may have calculated this with the wrong army. It only came to my attention when adding up the numbers for this season. I was using my smaller Bloodstalkers, not the 12k Hellwalkers. Sorry for only figuring it out now

[Raptorman]

I plan to post this evening.

It doesn't matter, I dunno how I managed that. The human army fled, 40% were cut down. Excel must have ignored the rout roll *grrrrr*.

Whatever army you had, no losses were sustained. Ignore the 45%. This is what happens when one rushes things under the duress of a nasty cold. Feels like I got broken glass in my chest everytime I cough, snerf snerf.

I am out of ideas for leader traits. Got any, Hamster?

[SyrianHamster]

~Champion of Mankind: -10% to losses against Gorrikans, immune to horrifying effect.
~Roman Emperor: -1 to rout rolls, including pre-battle rout rolls.
~Legacy of Alexander: +1 to enemy rout and pursue rolls (assuming those are negatives)

These are alright, aint they?

[So Boerd]

Works for me.

[NewSun]

I'm just gonna post my army cards this season, I hope thats okay. I don't really have much to say at present; and useless, pointless exposition makes me wanna die :) Plus i've been super busy, but if you need me to I can go ahead and squeeze in some stuff soon. Just didn't wanna miss the season.

[Raptorman]

For this round I will be doing something similar if that is alright.

[So Boerd]

Aurelia, nothing personal.

Also, Syrian, any word on whether the Rus will help?

[Aurelia]

I'm kind of screwed. :(

Let me explain all the ways to fully show how unreasonable allowing the human nation these stats is. Firstly my bonus is completely negated by the human general. Secondly because he has 60 siege engines I automatically will lose 60% of my army in any engagement with his. Thirdly his numbers vastly, vastly, vastly exceed that of my nation when my nation's prime method of combat is to swarm things though superior numbers. So basically at this point unless things are changed I will simply die. Your combat system is broken Syrian Hampster.

[So Boerd]

I am not here to win, so if you wanna Deus Ex yourself to Tunisia or something and keep writing, I for one don't have an issue.

I'm not in this RP but I was wondering, the mechanics don't really mention what effect siege weapons have on actuals sieges on cities. I think it would be better to move the siege weapon effects to besieging a location. They wouldn't cause many casualties on an open battlefield unless the army was trapped in a enclosed location, like between two mountains. Just a suggestion.

Also you have to know that entering into this world, you have far less numbers than the humans, a horde won't work unless you have something you can dissolve the enemy defenses with, something that can cause them to fear you

I think Alexander the Great would disagree with you. Look up the battle of the Jaxartes River.

Had you been set down anywhere else, you would have been fine. I would have had to fight down a bajillion Grey nations to get to you and that would have destroyed my numbers advantage, meaning your adaptation and limitless growth would have made you indomitable. However you basically plopped down next to my only ally in this world in a place that I could reach with minimal loss of life.

Edit:Also, you have an army in Moldova, which cannot be instantaneously retracted to Ukraine.

Wasn't the enemy cornered on the river bank during that battle?

Syrian said that I could retreat it.

[So Boerd]

Ok.

At Titantic: No, Alexander was crossing the river. The Scythians (mounted archers no less, the most mobile troops) had free run of the battlefield.

If i were you, I would flee north to belarus with my entire nation and try to get the aid of the isarimer. They want land and to kill humans, and the byzantines are full of humans and have a lot of land.

[So Boerd]

I am not here to boot you out of the RP, Alexios is here to save an ally. Whatever you have to do to survive is fine with me.
