Chapter Five: Breaking Silence

"Music is the food of love, play on"
William Shakespeare, Twelve Night​

With Daler gaining back his voice things are to be of intrigue with the world... but his silence was not the only one broken as power arise and fell.

1) Daler sighs,

2) kills himself,

3) and reincarnates as Daler II: Mehndi Harder

18: the sign bought calmness to the universe and bringing your voice back. [your no longer silent; +1 to roll! You also gain +1 piety and +1 prestige, +3 culture]

19: the universe intervenes, for Dalar is too precious to be lost. [+1 to your roll, plus +1 piety and +1 to your Indian expansion, +3 culture]

14: you are now to grow in popularity [+1 piety and +1 culture]

1. Use massive economy to build even more killsats

2. Use killsat(s) to assist in the continuing American occupation of Iraq, and then have occupation merge with me.

3. Greece the palms of some politicians south of Macedonia to get them to hand over their land.

12: another orbital satellite is launched; this time the satellite is the weopon itself, set to hurl itself to a target of your choice[+1 one-use bomber satellite; can crash itself on a target to add +1 to one of your combat roles]


3(6): though your orbital strike and experience makes success it turns out that Iraq does not fall this time; a successful strike see the emergence of the Wali Emirates of Iraq, though the damage from the cannon did damage the new founded power. [Iraq now is a power; you lose -1 prestige]

4(5): General Xylon Toto leads a successive campaign to counter your corruption, executed any Greek that accepted your deal before declaring the birth of the Despotic Unity of Greece. [Greece is now a power; Xylon Toto will provide +1 combat roll to any rolls he is assigned to, which at the moment means he is giving Greece a defense bonus]

1. Take Parana with new improved Llama Cav

2. Invade Afghanistan to ruin everyone's borders

3. Get a fourth roll. A bread roll is preferred.

8 (11): you just manage to secure the new land.

3 (5): Federation of Afghanistan fends off the aggression! You lost much of your airforce trying to airlift a invasion, which has leaded to public criticism from the army. [-2 prestige with Afghanistan now a NPC]

2: no 4th rolls! The GM decides to impose a penalty. [-1 to your rolls: penalty may be removed if you’re good. You suffer -2 piety for earning the wroth of the GM]

1) Get my bois hooked on the newest meme game on the block - Counter Strike: Global Offensive. This should undo the shame of COD that the universe has thrust upon us.

2) Incidentally, CS:GO is more hyper realistic so that should help our defenders learn actual defence tactics.

3) Spend loadsemonie from our glorious economy to bolster our defences against the anti-space hussars and the Polish forces in general.

16(15): the penalties your suffered may be healed. [+2 to your combat roll, plus +1 prestige]

1(1): sadly your focus on FPSes as a means of training has resulted in your forces not knowing other aspects of warfare. Worse Poland has managed to hack into your multiplayer and began to study this training, granting them a window into the mindset of their enemies, right before they went back to play Mental Omega like all good players should. [-1 to your combat, -1 to your defense roll, -1 to your prestige. Poland +1 to its combat roll]

4(3): your economy is not strong enough! The realization has lowered confidence in your markets and resulted in Poland having more fortune as your defense lines weaken further. [-1 to your defense roll, -1 to your economic roll, -1 economy]

3. Build many airports throughout Russia

With two provinces now gone declared sovereign between you and Moscow your maintenance bill has gone up. [SRSP/HRSP now existent; you suffer -1 ecomony.]
19: the railway has connected all provinces of Mother Russia, granting benefit to both the economies of the Russian powers and your mobilization. [all Russian powers gain +1 to their economy, while your gain +1 to your combat role in Russia and a bonus +1 to your economy in addition to +1 to your economic roll]

8: not enough funds

1) Reannex Yukon

2) Retake California (with thermal drone bomb included)

3) Refrigerate leftovers

19(19): SUCCESS! The victory in Yukon has potentially granted you a window into Canada and has made your peoples even more confident. [+2 to your expansion in Canada, +1 to your combat roll. +1 prestige]

4(6) The remaining armies of Colorado remained defiant and kept hold of California, despite your efforts. Though you manage to keep them down the forest fire caused by the thermal bomb has not gone well for your reputation [-1 prestige]

11: you have some refrigerated leftovers. [this is a item in your inventory]

1) The super soldiers will lead the army into an invasion of the Great Lakes.

2) The army, with generous use of nerve gas developed last turn, shall put down the slave revolt.

3) Build a Great Wall along my eastern border (from Great Lakes to Dixie). The wall will be made of concrete steel, have watchtowers equipped with high tech artillery and be protected by minefields.

1(3): no one told you that the Great Lakes had become a den for militant groups; these militias have allied in a grand union to counter you. To your eternal embarrassment your super soldiers were slain in battle by these rag-tag militia. In the end, you were forced to retreat and lick your wounds. [GLA (Great Lake Alliance) emerges as a NPC, stopped from becoming major NPC thanks to bonuses but will be granted +1 to its role in reflection of the die. You suffer -3 prestige]

11(13): the nerve gas proved super effective! Those who survived were then cracked down upon by the army. [slave revolt removed]

5(5): construction has foiled thanks to costs, material access, market conditions and dispute from your labor. [-1 economy]

1. We should totally just stab Caesar! (Assassinate whoever rules Libya and take the province from their cold, dead hands.)

2. I've got a big lesbian crush on Chad! Suck on that. (Seduce the people of Chad into joining Africa.)

3. Annex a random province on the African continent not controlled by us and rename it Anfernee Land in honor of Mr Duvall's nephew.

10: your assassination attempt was stop at customs due to rules banning the bringing of daggers in your luggage.

13: the seduction was successful!

18: Zambia/ Anfernee Land is now yours! [you gain Zambia +1 to your expansion roll in Africa. Since the GM is too lazy to rename Zambia on the map he is to give you +1 to your prestige instead]

Aztec alliance orders

1. Invade Columbia

2. Continue research into cybernetics and genetic engineering for super soldier enhancement
