JNESVI, World Colonization and the Northern Empires

JNESVI, World Colonization and the Northern Empires.

The great empires of the north exceeded their home lands, and have begun to expand into unknown territories. Eyes are set on the lands of the south: Africa, South America, and Oceania. Will the great kings and emperors of The North be able to defeat the natives and colonize the dearly-needed land? Will land claims get in the way of expansion for some of the empires and kingdoms? You decide.

RULES

· The gray nations are NPC, and I will control them lightly. There will be no trading, and they will not expand. The one in South America is Incas, Central America is Aztecs, and East Africa is Zimbabwe.

MOVING

It will be like normal : 1 province/sea per turn, unless the certain unit can move 2. Unloading and loading will not take a turn. So that means you can load and unload into two different provinces as many times as you like just so long as the transport doesn’t move. If you have to load, move, then unload, it will take 2 turns (1st turn you can load and move, the 2nd turn you can unload, pick up/move away).

GOVERNMENTS

It is simple, basically there are 3 governments: Republic, Despotism (emperor and empire), and Monarchy (king and kingdom). Each have different bonuses. The Republic gives you better negotiation status with natives, both the big nations in S America, Africa, and Central America and the individual small provinces that you conquer early in the game (making them easier conquer). Despotism gives you an advantage on the battlefield against the big NPC nations and player-run nations. Monarchy gives you bonuses in trading, +1c more for each caravan/cargo boat. You begin in anarchy, and you should choose you government when you signup. This will also tell me ifyou read the rules or not .

TRADING

Trading is relatively simple. You just build a Market for every nation you trade with, limit is one per nation. For each Market, you can have 3 trade units (much like in Wargame), and each trade unit produces +3c per turn. You may also trade resources, the way you do that is this: You must have at least one trade unit trading with the nation in which you want to trade resources with, and from then you can trade unlimited resources. You must anounce what trade route you take (through the sea's or provinces). Trade cogs and caravans can make the round trip anywhere in one turn. If enemy units lie in the way, the trade ships are sunk or caravans destroyed (no bonus to them). You can not send trade caravans over unclaimed territory, but may send it through a player nation (or nation i control) without a ROP as long as your not at war.

RESOURCES

Another copy from UKNES (). You start out with a certain amount of resources for each nation, and each unit requires one resource point. Once you build the unit, the resource point is attached to the unit for ever, unit it is dispersed or the unit is killed. All human units require grain, horsemen and knights, chariots etc. require horses, and all naval and siege units require wood.

BATTLING

Battling will be done via AOK, and will take into account terrain, amount of units, and your strategy. So it is important you post strategy. If you don’t, then I simply charge your units at them as a horde, which will most likely not succeed.

INCOME
You make 6cpt for your capital, and 2cpt for every other province.

TECHNOLOGY
May be added later in the game.

STRUCTURES
You may build a variety of structures. A wall can help protect your province. A tower is very useful in defense as well, and castles are almost invincible against normal units. You may build barracks in any province in order to build infantry units, but you can’t build any other unit-production centers, all ships, horses, and siege have to be built in your capital and shipped over. You can build farms, which increase your production in one province by 1cpt. There is no limit to how many farms you may have in one province.

Farms: 15c
Wall: 20c
Tower: 30c
Castle: 40c
Barracks: 20c

(I know these are expensive, but the defense REALLY helps, and it is worth it. Most structures will be hard to bring down without siege)

Ok, I think I got all the basic stuff. Please sign up and ask questions! Here are the unit list and nations:

Warriors
A band of poorly equipped (clubs) and skilled men.
3c
AOK Counterpart: Militia

Spearmen
Men equipped with a long pole and a iron points and heavy armor. Good against mounted units in defense, poor against fast land units.
5c
AOK Counterpart: Spearmen

Archer
A man with a bow and arrow and is good attacking across small rivers and from high altitudes, or behind fortifications. NOT good when attacking or defending by themsekves
5c
AOK Counterpart: Archer

Swordsmen
Basically a knight without a horse and has a shorter sword. Good for melee combat, ok against all units.
7c
AOK Counterpart: Champion

Long Bowmen
An archer with a bigger range of firing.
7c
AOK Counterpart: Long bowman

Horsemen
A man atop a horse with no saddle and equipped with a spear and shield. The horsemen can move 2 provinces at a time.
8c
AOK Counterpart: Scout (horse)

Knight
An armored man and horse, the man equipped with a long sword, strong armor, and a spear. Good when used alone, and even better when paired with more. Possibly the unit in the game.
10c
AOK Counterpart: Knight

Chariot
A cart drawn by two horses. Chariot is very fast on flat ground, but extremely limited on hilly, forested, or watery surfaces. Chariot can move 2 spaces on normal terrain (I will make the decision), and uses bows and arrows for weapons.
AOK Counterpart: War Chariot

Conquistador
A horsemen, lightly armored, with a musket.
12c
AOK Counterpart: Conquistador

Catapult
A great unit to use against breaking fortresses and walls. Also good for defending against archers or hordes of warriors or swordsmen, when grouped with other defending units. Poor alone.
10c
AOK Counterpart: Catapult

Cannon
The best unit to use against structures. TERRIBLE at defending or attacking other units, except for another cannon. Needs provided defense from other units. Can attack Castles, for instance, without being hit from the castle, so the castle better have some defense UNITS too.
12c
AOK Counterpart: Trebuchet

Battleship
The best ship to use against another navy ship, but most expensive.
15c
AOK Counterpart: Galleon

Frigate
Smaller then a battleship, and significantly weaker.
10c
AOK Counterpart: War Galley

Trireme
Smallest of the navy ships, and slowest with the weakest firepower, but is good in huge numbers.
6c
AOK Counterpart: Galley

Fire Boat
A small, fast boat that lays fire to any naval ship or siege craft on the shore. Also most expensive.
18c
AOK Counterpart: Fire Galleon

Transport
A transport boat for humans and horses, can carry 5 units a boat.
5c
AOK Counterpart: Transport

Siege Transport
A transport for siege craft, can transport 3 units on each boat.
8c
AOK Counterpart: Transport

Oh, and I am playing because I have a random system of battle. And, I will record every battle so that if someone needs proof and they have AOK, I will just send them the recording. And updates will be daily.

When you send in order, please use this as a template. If orders aren't like this, then I will send them back to you and ask for you to make them more like this:

Nation Name
Government
CPT, Treasury, Total to spend this turn

Have fun! And don't forget to join SNES! It won't be hard to manage this game!

The Map:

thanx for promoting my NES.

I'll be England.

Skilord: Sorry, nemesis has already taken it, and Anarchy has Germany, while I am playing as Spain. Sorry, they are helped me make it, and I gave them first dibs.

-Jason

Oh ya, orders are to be PMed to me, and like in JNESV, the map will show that there is a unit in the province/sea, jus tyou don't know what it is or how many of them there are.

-Jason

Well then i'll go with Spain

you expect literacy?

gimme Turkey, they don't have such high demands.

we are a theocracy

Skilord, did you read the rules yet? Your supposed to state what government you are when you sign up. lol. and welcome to the game

-Jason

Changed the map - added a couple more sea's to make colonization not so easy.

And - FYI: Antarctica is off limits for now, until technology is introduced. Thats all its going to do - give you technology bonuses.

-Jason

We're a Monarchy. Jason.

I, Prime Minister Kerensky thereby proudly proclaim the Republic of Russia created!

In order to simplify it, can I sometimes create Armies of units? I mean, 2 swordsmen, 1 archer, 1 waarrior as the 1st Army, and stuff like that?

I demand that France be represented and that I be allowed to play as them or I won't play at all .

I would like to be China please

Oh and do I need Barracks in my capital to build infantry?

What happened to the times that NESing was simple...

Das: you already can uild every unit in your capital, regardless you have a barracks in there or not.

Toasty: Consider it done. You may join as France, and choose your government.

Dexter: Welcome.

Everyone: Welcome to JNES VI!

We have enough players to begin! You may begin sending in orders now. 1st update iwll most likely be tomorrow around 5:00pm PST (like 1:00 GMT i think...).

-Jason

High Emperor Guan Yu
The Yu Dynasty will re-unite China and build her into the nation she once was. All opposition to the Yu Dynasty will be crushed by the heavens themselves, I am the chosen one picked by the gods themselves!!

Now saddle my horse, we have a country to build...


Strategy:
Guan Yu himself will command the army marching into Lanzhou. While First General Jao Ping will command the army marching into Beijing Province.

Assault On Lanzhou Province
Guan Yu's army will attempt to take the hill spot and storm the weak native army below. With Guan Yu leading the army the Natives will be struck with fear and many will hopefully desert while the others will be left to fight out-numbered.

Assault On Beijing Province
Jao Ping's army will split into two. A smaller assault force led by General Han Yu will attempt to destroy the enemies supplies compound a day before the battle. The next day, teh entire army under Jao Ping's Command will attack the tired and hungary Natives.

Now to victory!!
