Multipolarity IV Game Thread

The Crimson Court shall provide glorious military assistance to Iceland in their valiant struggle to unify the disparate region.

The Combined Syndicates would like to announce the creation of a defensive pact between itself and the Leth Confederacy.

Rat Tat Tat! Fyooo! Boom!

Reports are coming in from the former People’s Republic of Siberia that its government has collapsed. The country is now ablaze in the fires of a civil war, with the borders becoming a mess as civilians pour out while foreign fighters pour in. What side will emerge triumphant? There’s opportunity for any foreign power to profit from this conflict, particularly in securing whatever’s left of Siberia at the end of the war for itself.

Siberia is now a minor power. However, it is in a civil war. When in civil war, a country does not break into rebel factions as is usual, but influence and espionage begin to represent the effective good fortune of every faction. Every country begins with 100 Influence in Siberia, and as turns go on this will decrease as damage is done to factions loyal to those countries. By investing more into the country, however, you increase the chance that the winner is loyal to you and thus your client / ally.

Even if you don’t win, you will receive client income in the meantime, while also receiving a bonus once the conflict ends for your participation.

The Fate of Mongolia

As with Siberia, it appears Mongolia has collapsed into a civil war, with Ganzorig’s regime not as supported as was originally thought. Ganzorig has aligned himself with the Sino-Japanese forces, but large numbers of people have also declared their preference to be the Golden Horde or 501st Legion. The country could go either way at this point, either remaining neutral as a friend of China-Japan, or being a huge boon to the Horde and 501st’s war with eachother.

Mongolia has the same rules as the Siberian conflict, but with the playing field starting divided between the East Asian powers rather than being a free for all.



Let the minigame begin.

Le FAQ.

Can I make a warplan for my faction? Basically a roleplay post to possibly net a larger influence gain or something

Click to expand...

Yes.

There any way I can get an ally to increase my influence by stationing troops and perhaps economic investment?

Click to expand...

Theoretically yes. They’d keep their commitment minimal in all likelihood unless paid.

There any way I can disrupt the influences of other countries?

Click to expand...

Every turn several nations will lose influence at random to represent decisive victories by one faction or another. However, you can make use of espionage in the country to sabotage enemy positions.

A Civil War requires both overt (money, troops) and covert (spies) actions to come out on top. If you invest 1000 into your side's army, and 0 into your espionage, what shall keep another country's spies from sabotaging all of your side's shiny new tanks?

==West African War==

Cape Verde Forces: 110,260 soldiers; 110,000 sailors
Tayloristan: 459,456 soldiers; 114,864 sailors
Congo: 262,599 soldiers

Prior to the battles, the Verdeans suffer some sabotage to their radar, albeit minor.

85,864 Taylor sailors confront the Verdean fleet; 29,000 are transporting 290,000 soldiers. The plans are dealt a blow when 10,000 Crimson Court sailors do not show up (the deal having been in exchange for an embargo of the now-defunct Mongolian), but the Ashanti field 54,466 sailors and Kenya fields 106,400.

246,730 versus 110,000

In a series of thirteen battles, nine are won by the coalition forces. 60,000 Verdeans die and 40,000 are captured. 4,000 Taylor soldiers are lost, as well as 4,000 Kenyan and 4,000 Ashanti. However, the Verdeans lose all ports to blockade except their capital’s.

===

140,000 Taylor soldiers launch an operation to reclaim Ashanti. 100,000 Congolese soldiers aid in this offensive. 70,000 Cape Verde troops stand in opposition.

Out of fourteen battles, the Allied forces emerge victorious in nine of them, routing the Verdeans from Ashanti. The Verdeans ruthlessly scorch the Earth as they retreat, and no less than 120,000 Ashanti perish between this and the intense fighting between the extremely-advanced Verdean military and the more numerous Allied forces.

The Verdeans kill 5,000 Taylor forces and 4,000 Congolese, while the Allied forces kill 50,000 Verdeans and capture 15,000. Only a handful of Verdean forces make it back to the homeland to tell the tale of the horrific defeat they suffered.

===

100,000 Congolese soldiers attempt to encircle the Verdean forces by invading Cape Verde’s territory via Benin and Cameroon. Only 40,000 Verdean armies remain in the area. They are however, backed up by a timid band of 140,000 conscripts at training centers throughout the countryside.

The Congolese kill 25,000 Verdeans and capture 10,000. The Verdeans slay 29,000 Congolese troops, making up for their lack of training with their sheer numbers.

The Congolese occupy 8 provinces. 1.04 million people perish or are displaced, many suspect by the government of Nero himself to avoid their falling into enemy hands. In a matter of weeks West Africa has become a hellhole, torn between two clashing armies and the chaos of war.

Regardless, Cape Verde is crushed. Its ports blockaded and much of its homeland under occupation, there are ramblings of surrender and even coups within the government. But the Allies have one last masterful stroke…

===

20,000 Taylor soldiers participate in Operation: Guillotine, in an attempt to storm Cape Verde itself. A hastily assembled militia of 36,000 troops awaits them, but not being regulars, they are less intimidating then the rank and file. These “Praetorians” are told to die for their Emperor, and they do their best… which isn’t saying much. With some fire support from the navy, the Islands of Cape Verde come under siege…

In a bloody battle, Taylor forces emerge victorious by a narrow margin. They kill 6,000 Verdean troops and capture 2,000 others. The Verdeans slay 5,000 Taylor forces. Despite the Praetorians’ efforts, the capital falls, and the government is decapitated as the operation intended; the Emperor is nowhere to be found. As a result of the heavy fighting, 21,000 civilians die. Fortunately the number is still nonetheless minimal thanks to the Tayloristani troops’ discipline.

Occitania wishes to congratulate the Allied forces on their masterful victory in Cape Verde, but condemns the bloodshed propagated by all sides. This war was unnecessary, and President Ducard is saddened by the thought of the hundreds of thousands of deaths ravaging the once-great nation of Cape Verde.

However, Tayloristan and the Congo have defended their Ashanti allies most admirably and won a clearly decisive victory. Occitania urges Cape Verde to discuss surrender terms in order to find a conclusion to this conflict that does not involve their homeland occupied and destroyed.

It is Tayloristan's hope that Cape Verde will surrender at this point in time - you are defeated. Your Emperor's plans have been the ruin of your country. Surrender, and Cape Verde shall be forgiven. Give up your Emperor, and he shall be forgiven too - he will spend two years constructing roads in Ashanti or until he learns to act on an adult level, whichever happens last.

But drag this war out, and the African Union will do what is necessary to prevent Nero's generals, concubines, and assorted lackeys from rising again. Cape Verde will be split into two countries, with some of its existing territory granted to Ashanti, some to Libya, and so forth. Schools, universities, and public works programs will spring across the country so that everyone may participate in the highest walks of power in Cape Verde.

So come to the table. Bring your Emperor - and bring an adult to speak on his behalf.

I would appreciate that you ran by your plans with me first before deciding what we are going to do with Cape. Your ally might have different plans for the division of the land than you.

Also need I remind you that I have taken the vast majority of the provinces?

My apologies. I was merely trying to get a point across to Cape for them to surrender. We will discuss what exactly happens to Cape Verde - here or in private.

why are there even slaves in this game?

Arstotzka announces the Megaspider Diplomacy Program

Since Talyoristan so generously gave us a Megaspider we will conduct some research.

Begining this month Arstotzkan Scientists will attempt to communicate with the sentient A. Titanis, the scientists will attempt to befriend the spider by offering the one male that Talyoristan so generously gave us.

In the event that no communication is possible the Arstotzkan Military will attempt to elimitate the Megaspider, with extreme prejudice.

Mainland China-Japan is pleased to announce the creation of the Mega-Arachnid Research and Intelligence Association. This organization, aimed at understanding the biology of the megaspiders, will use the specimen obtained from Tayloristan to understand the natural limits of the species and use the information gathered to benefit China-Japan as a whole. Do note that the arachnid itself will not be used to benefit the countries, rather, the information gathered from it. We thank Tayloristan for letting us have this opportunity.

==Scandinavian War==

75,000 forces from the Combined Syndicates deploy in Finland and march westward, having reached the area through neutral airspaces throughout Europe to bypass Iceland’s blockade. 111,344 Icelandic troops set up defenses from north to south rather than pressing an offensive. Finland deploys 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 sailors, while Kirov deploys 25,000 soldiers.

While Norway keeps half its fleet on the defensive, sending 111,344 against the Swedish fleet of 281,633 and Finnish fleet of 10,000.

26,000 Swedes and 1,000 Finns perish on the seas in the Swedish victory. 69,000 Norwegians die in the process, however. The Swedes manage to emerge victorious but suffer so many vicious losses their blockade on Sweden is broken as they hastily have to retreat.

With the demise of the blockade, the Syndicalists have entered Sweden and are prepared to use the full might of their 75,000 soldiers with the help of Sweden’s 281,633, Kirov’s 25,000, and Finland’s 10,000 against Iceland’s 111,344 soldiers. The Combined Syndicates have assumed command of this massive horde of soldiers, devising war plans with the intent to evict the Icelandic forces from Sweden and take Norway itself.

==Battle of the North==

In the north, 75,000 Syndicalist forces, 10,000 Finns and 15,000 Swedes attack Norway’s northern extremities. 25,100 Icelandic troops, backed by 50,000 conscripts, oppose them.

While the Coalition fail to take over northern Norway, they do inflict 23,000 deaths upon the Norwegian ranks. Norway scores 1,000 Finns, 1,000 Swedes, and kills 4,000 Syndicalists, while also capturing 2,000 Syndicalists. 5,000 Norwegian civilians perish in the crossfire.

==Battle of the South==

In the south, 266,633 Swedes and 25,000 Kirovites press an assault to claim back occupied Sweden and all of Norway. 71,244 Icelandic troops and 100,000 conscripts stand in opposition.

The Swedish forces hit Norway hard in the heart, killing 100,000 Icelandic soldiers and capturing 10,000. 22,000 Swedes and 2,000 Kirovites perish. 25,000 Swedish civilians and 55,000 Icelandic citizens are killed in the crossfire, minimal casualties due to great humanitarian discipline by both fighting factions. 2.2 million Norwegian citizens are placed under Swedish occupation, many of them from the fallen city of Oslo.

==

Iceland-Norway has foiled an invasion in one part of its territory but suffered a massive reversal in another. Will Reykjavik yield to the Syndicate forces, or will it call upon its American allies to even the odds, plunging the entire Atlantic into open war? Only time will tell.

==African War==

Minor continuation since I forgot something. Some of Tayloristan’s troops assault Cape Verde’s coastline.

270,000 Taylor forces invade 6 Cape Verde coastal provinces. 135,000 conscripts stand ready to fight them, the main army too disorganized to do much.


Tayloristan kills 80,000 Cape Verde soldiers and seizes 10,000 as prisoners of war. Cape Verde kills 22,000 soldiers.

50,000 Cape Verde civilians are lost of 2.3 million, a very small number compared to most conflicts.
