Training


Events

Abdul-Aziz Desecrates the pyramids by using them as outhouses.He publicly declares any pyrammid found is a pyramid used as an outhouse.Al-Asole doesn't like this idea,and is losing faith in his leader.

Jaques de Metaliturtle has to spend a gold on it,but he effectively doubles the amount of money he's taking in.Proving to be a very successful retainer,and business man.

As Bootstrap expands southward,he encounters them damned bandits again.This time he has soldiers,but the enemies are replenished in their strength as well.Bootstrap was outnumbered 2 to 1,and the bandit king showed himself and dueled Bootstrap before the battle ensued.Bootstrap was pierced and almost died,if it weren't for his men rushing in to save him.It was foolish of Bootstrap to face the Bandit king whilst already wounded,and the expansion was halted.

Dick Smack finds a bunch of ugly chicks in the newly conquered lands...But nothing worth bringing back.A man,Ardvand,has formed a small kingdom for himself to the north of Josef's lands.Any further expansion will create warfare between the Josef's kingdom and the independant lord.

Jared MacDougal stumbles upon a book,called "Seeds of life".It's a book about farming,and raises one's politics by 2

Olaf proclaims himself king of Denmark and Norway.Noone argues,although there is some disent amungst the Norwegians that are now under Olaf's rule.

Roddy doesn't do anything!

Taa'u's cold has evolved into Bronchitus(Or however you spell it) due to constant travel in the cold winter.They haven't been able to make very good distance because of the snow.

Amon takes out the Vecheslav's men,and expands.He finds a village that has small walls around it.He ransacked the village with cunning strategy and slaughtered every human.(+2 gold for him out of plunder)

Expansion for everyone was suck because of snow.

Random crap

Vecheslav's sister died

Jaques has heard from the grapevine that Jaqueline DuBrow thinks he's sexy.Whether or not he follows up on this is his choice.

Elric has a son(His mistress is the mother,but still).Name him.

Johan the not so Wise has found a ceal from an old germanic king.

[Tyrion]

Ragron Slam Fist strided down the muddy street of this far of town in search for an item. Thrax had only told him that he would know it when he saw it, how this was possible he wasnt entirely sure. He was walking past the local smith when he saw it. A gleaming sword the colour was a brilliant emerald green. It gleamed in the sun and when swung sung as though it was a musical instrument. Ragron quickly moved towards the smith.

"Good man. I am Lord Ragron Slam Fist. I came to this land in search of an item that my King sent me for he said i would know it when i saw it. I just believe ive found it," Ragron announced.

"Surely you my good lord could not possible believe that my lowly work be deserved of thy great lord," The smith replied.

"Dont be an idiot of course it is. I am more then willing to pay you for it. Wait, i have an idea we could pay you for this single sword or i could bring you and your family back with me to Lord Thrax you would be given your own rooms within one of our castles and an annual pay. Which would easily be better then what this dungpile could ever offer. All you need to do in return is continue making these masterpieces," Ragran was think fast and talking faster.

"A nice proposal my lord but sadly my Gran mums lame and she wouldnt be able to walk. Sorry but ill have to turn you down." The smith responded.

" Are you mad. My men will carry her. Hell ill carry her," Ragran Shouted.

And so the master smith from the north came down to the kingdom of Thrax. Soon these elite weapons appeared with the Royal guards belonging to the lords.

Success! EuphratKröte was willing to help me, but he wanted 1 Gold every winter. I could afford paying that, but maybe I would talk to him some months later and try to convince him to work with the same payment like my other officers.
When we arrived at Baghdad, I couldn't believe my eyes: It was spring and all the acres around Baghdad were full of little plants. After the harvest, we would be swimming in food, thanks to TigrisKröte! I also heard about BabylonStiers successfull expansion in the west and the village of New Babylon he found. I decided to have a meeting with all my officers in Baghdad Castle to discuss what to do next.

We came up with the following ideas:
BabylonStier continues his expansion westwards, he tries to find other villages like New Babylon. If he finds a village he will impress them first with his ancient sword and then try to convince them to join my empire. If they are not willing to join he's not allowed to use force. Instead, peaceful relations between the empire and the village shall be started.
EuphratKröte builds a road between Baghdad and New Babylon. The road is meant to improve trade and the friendly relations of Baghdad and New Babylon. It should also help the military to move faster, if that is necessary sometime in the future.
TigrisKröte can't do much for our agriculture at the moment. All the farmland is already used. But there's a new task for him: He uses all the gold in our treasury to build barracks and hire new men for our military. If my calculations are right, our gold will be enough to hire 500 men and double the size of our military. TigrisKröte is best suited for this task because he knows how to attract many people (charm), knows what the military needs (Leadership) and how much money we can spend (politics). We don't have enough money for weapons, but since our main interest at the moment is peaceful expansion and not war, weapons aren't that important.
I will use those men to explore the landscape eastwards of our kingdom and expand our borders. If I should find a village, I'll use my charm to get them to join my empire.



Orders:
- TigrisKröte: (50 men) hire 500 men, give them to BaghdadPferd
- EuphratKröte: (50 men) raise economy
- BabylonStier: (400 men) expand west
- BaghdadPferd: (500 men) expand east

Question: Is EuphratKröte already paid? If not then take these orders:

Alternative Orders:
TigrisKröte: (50 men) hire 400 men, give them to BaghdadPferd
EuphratKröte: (50 men) raise economy
BabylonStier: (400 men) expand west
BaghdadPferd: (400 men) expand east

Amog brought the ships back to Conen. Conen was pleased. Amog, go get me some fish. But sir, Amog replied, there is no fishing industry in Constapationople. What, Conen yelled, go start one. Here is 2 gold. Clarissa you expand into Turkey and look for some Turkeys. I will hire more troops.

Orders

Send 2 gold to Amog to start a fishing industry in Constapationople.

Clarissa will go with 200 men and how ever many galleys she needs into Turkey and expand there.

Conen will spend 3 gold hiring more troops.

 

[Julius Gandi]

Orders

Excerpt from Prince Elric's personal journal

22nd December 700 AD:

'I never thought there would be anything except conquest for me in this life but today I find out that I am wrong, my son, his eyes so blue nad his hands and feet so small was born to me a seven-day ago, today he was shown to the people and they have accepted him as heir-apparent. My mistress Elyssa has proven to be of more worth than I had previously thought, maybe I should marry her....my son shall be called Irion al'Elric (al'Elric means Elricson), and I shall train him to manage this princedom after me, he shall become a great statesmen, for he shall have others to do his fighting for him.

Dus'Mordis advanced along the western coast and I now have the 3rd biggest kingdom in the world, I have given thoughts to giving her land to rule herself, but she is a warrior and not concerned with the welfare of the state, still, she should have some reward. I have sent her orders to continue marching along the coast westwards, she is to attempt to recruit any men through villages she moves through, though only those who are willing, for my people are loyal to me (3rd in the world ;-) )

After visiting the soothsayer, my attempts to recruit Eruli li'Avalorn were met with failure....he is mercenary and wants monetary reward which will halve my income, still he is a retainer whom I need, but I smell a scheme, the soothsayer's brother harumph! I shall approach him with a counter offer, he will get 2 gold now and 1 gold for each new officer he finds me, after finding 3 officers he will have proven his worth and will get one gold per half-year. I hope this will encourage him to be successful and will also provide me with a sureity.

-------------------

Orders:
Dus'Mordis: Moves further west, attempts to recruit willingly any young men (or women) in villages she moves through, but not to tarry, this exploration is of utmost importance.
Elric: Named son w00t ;-) Makes the counter-offer to Eruli li'Avalorn, not sure whether this is action because it is similar to acceptance/rejection, but don't know, if I can still, I would buy 1/2 gc worth of ships (enough to carry 200 men).
