This makes me happy :)
It'll only be the Emperor dying, i'd imagine he has successors. Taking Germany would not mean the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
Im not gonna wait around for them to gather their strength.

Not sure if it's possible, I've left Germany horribly undefended. It has a militia force, which you have not seen yet, and by next season the Emperor's army would have been replenished. We'll see when we get there, but what you'll find in Germany will be about 1/3 of the Holy Roman Empire's entire army. Meanwhile Egypt and Byzantium are just sitting there, like "Yup, gonna build our army up bitches" just like they always do in the total war games. Poor Christendom.
Hmmm... Well, I have a blood vendetta against Otto anyway. I figure once he dies, morale of the Empire falters. Both armies go back and take the Czech lands and launch a multi-pronged offensive against Germany.

Jolly good. Be warned though, if you do not win at Hamburg, it's possible that force in Prague might do something drastic. Like. I don't know, move to Spain and fight the Lorenvolk? Things seem easier over there :D Haha, joke Raptor, you hang in there.
Holy, can you imagine if I lost at Hamburg with two armies, one of which is huge? That would be embarrassing. Still, once Hamburg is taken both armies can double back on prague and claim 2 territories in one season. FOR THE SWARM.
Beasty >:)
I'm gonna still take LesaLikl and his Hellwalkers straight through to Germany and ignore the army that retreated to Prague. I'll come back for them. Kaliningrad should be an easy win from here.
All looks good!

I'm still around. Everybody who didn't go on holiday just sort of... stopped, though. It's strange.

I wasn't expecting to be thrashed by the humans in the first battle of the game. :( Especially given armies of barely a thousand people successfully took places in the last part. My luck seems very poor.Fortunately Vel'Lisk is supposed to be something of an expert at battle so I'm sure he can regain the upper hand.
Mmmm, though i'm unsurprised Portugal was more heavily defended than Lithuania.

GERMANY POLAND BORDER
After an hour or two of bloody battle, the day had not been won, but blood had been spilled. KhruklRethua had not expected the tiny humans to put up such resistance, or to stand so firm against an isarimer charge. Respect had to be given where it was due, but he owed Emperor Otto a debt: his eyes were his prize. When their foe had began to retreat, they too withdrew to the border forest, where they could once again watch with hungering eyes the movements of their foes. They would retreat to one of their cities, their walled encampments that served only to trap them from within.
The Phoenix Crescent had taken losses, the enemy had taken heavier losses, but the weeks that followed saw smaller, wandering war bands join the ranks of the Crescent to re-bolster the warpack to what it had been previously, though KhruklRethua assumed that his adversary would do the same.
The battle itself had been bloody. The Isarimer killed three times their number despite being heavily outnumbered. The Berserkers broke the line with fierce abandon even when the Humans had held fast, and they died in swathes against Isarimer steel. Broken bones and the screams of men filled the valley as the Isarimer did what they did best. Though it was more of a skirmish than a full fledged battle, KhruklRethua was proud. His newly formed Warband had performed admirably. If admiration was something he was capable of feeling.
For now, he held his men. He knew now what the enemy was capable of, and that made him even more determined to be destroyed. Their retreat to Hamburg was… Interesting.
KhruklRethua was broken from his deep contemplation, and stood himself to address a berserker who was reporting to him. Not on the movements of their enemies, but of their own.
“Warlord,” the Berserker grumbled. “There are several things you must know,”
“Speak,” KhruklRethua demanded.
“Hamburg’s days are numbered. As are those of the Emperor. The squealing pig is trapped between us and and the land of ‘Czech’.”
“Explain yourself,” KhruklRethua demanded again.
“The Beast of the Shadow, LesaLikl, approaches. Word of the hunt has reached far back into the Hunting Grounds and he brings forth his Hellwalker Warhorde. They move through the territories below and intend to strike the Emperor from his side when he least expects it. The scissor attack will decimate his force entirely. We may be able to strike at the last moment and claim the Emperor’s head for our own. The Hellwalkers come with thirty Firehounds, they will be capable of forcing the Emperor from his hole.”
KALININGRAD OBLAST
UkhEklo’s Bloodsong Warband thundered North, through the Isarimer Hunting grounds and into the mysteriously sparse land between Poland and Lithuania, with one intent, and one only. To kill. The glory of conquest would belong to his warband. With the news of Lithuania being so easily subdued by the Bloodstalker warband that spring, a revolution had broken out within the Isarimer people. A sense of purpose had overcome them, and an insatiable hunger for conquest that was almost as strong as their desire for bloodshed had emerged. The smaller warbands took small patches land for themselves within the Hunting Grounds, but the Warlords in command of larger forces had their eyes set upon larger game. In this case, UkhEklo wanted to expand their grounds further.
There was always going to be human resistance, but his berserkers were ready. By their hundreds, they would rape and pillage, they would murder and maim, they would set fire to the cities and villages and claim the country for their own.

Just a note as a player in this RP, I enjoy the systems. I enjoy the fact that my race has some actual combat advantage over Humans other than people just taking my word for it. I Enjoy the fact that I have to define my armies rather than just give rough estimates. I enjoy a lot of these things because they're different, and clearly the rest of the players here do too, or they wouldn't be here.
I do find it somewhat unusual that this guy, who is not part of the RP and has never expressed any sort of interest in joining, has resolved to come into your thread and tell you that you're doing it wrong. Hell, I find it kind of rude and unfair to you as you've done a hella good job of creating a pretty awesome world and mechanics to go alongside it. I, for one, am glad that the map is modern because I have no idea about 'true' medieval nations, and I doubt many others do too. It would overcomplicate things unnecessarily.
Also: demonstrating your knowledge of medieval nations to everyone doesn't make us think higher of you. The action in itself is pretty pretentious.
Fight the power, Hamster!
