Weep, Mother.
What, is there a new one? And the way I understood it was that I paid one point toal for Stategium (Which I did. Re-read the update). And yes, we are quite dead
Just for the fun: Lets all guess where Contempt will attack next.
Ikki, Citadel, Davar, Malkavia- My personal guess is either me or Ikki

Btw, Iggy, could you give me a ruler list or something? I know that we had 32 kings named Cecil during the last 1200 or so years, but when exactly did which reign?

The Lengel Horde: The Most Efficient War Machine since the Eldranians.
When Lord Kaiser Rajo Oborski first learnt of the Lengel horde, striking swifting towards civilization, he dismissed them as barbarian fool who would not conquer anything. Perhaps this was because he was rather intoxicated at the time but never the less, the Lengel were severly underestimated by civilized nations. Their numbers are great, and they have the advantage of speed. Their lightning warfare, now known as "Blitzortrobri", worked extremely well against the infantry armies of Nkondi and Maugot, and the trainning and numbers provided to be a great addition to their strength. It would seem that the Lengel numbers were endless at first, of course this was quickly proven false.
Before one makes any decisions of the Lengel, one must understand the dynamics of the Lengel army. Its army is not constructed like civilized nations, with men constripted into service, trained, and then paid a wage to serve for the majority of their life. Their army is made up of simply, people. The Lengel people as a whole, are a military structure. Men are trained in the art of war by their fathers, since the only job in the Lengel is to fight. There are no masons, blacksmiths. It is a truly nomadic and barbaric people.
Compare this with the Eldarians, who were not a nomadic civilization. Though their economic focus was completely on their military, with which they would destroy the "demons", they still had to use the system of consripting, training, and paying their warriors. They did not seek to assimilate people into their ways, like the Lengel, they sought to destroy them completely. This is the crucial difference between the Eldarians, and many other civilized nations, and the Lengel, who would assimilate if you did not resist, and slaughter you or rape you until you did. The fear tactics used are vastly different.
Why is the Lengel such an efficient war machine, because that is all it is, a war machine. It's people are warriors, by birth. It's nation, because of its nomadic nature, and because of its extreme aggreesion and Warlord government, is defined by its warriors. One must grasp that the only thing the Lengel focus on, is war, hence making them the most efficient war machine, because that is all they are, a war machine. No civilization can become a war machine, since if it were to become such a thing, then it would no longer be civilized. They do not have to worry about building roads or distributing grain to people. They do not have to worry about policing their nation, or keeping roads clean, or providing libraries and investing into blacksmiths.
Hence the question is possed, how can one defeat, counter, or compete with such a force? Time, is the ultimate advisary of such barbarians. When the Lengel run out of room in which to make war they will settle down and begin to become civilized. As soon as a capital is developed for these barbarians they will want more and more to become civil. A capital provides a stable, structured, and stationary pedestal for authority figures to govern. With the construction of such a place it will string the Lengel to it, create a leash to which it must keep itself teathered to.
Hence why i am so pleased that Lord Kaiser Drago Oboroski as taken my advise and signed peace with the Lengel. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good, nations and people will no doubt be slaughtered by the Lengel Horde, but civilization shall always prevail.

Weep, Mother.
Orders sent. Longest yet. If theres any problem Iggy, tell me before hand so it won't all go bad.
Btw: I love how everyone was gung-ho on fighting the Lengels on all fronts at the beginning, and how they all jumped at the first chance of a NAP they could get. Maybe its time to start planning an exodus myself.........

Don't know, but we're sending them so hopefully Iggy can do an update on Friday before he leaves for two weeks.Cuivienen said:

@Darkening: I was never gung-ho. I knew exactly what I wanted, and I have a good reason for peace.
I kinda doubt it. And I am not lazy!
You overspent. I had to mix around a few things. Stop hassling me, please.
They don't have an army.
Done.
Divide 1200 by 32. None did anything particularly wonderful, (a few fought the Eldranians at the very end, a few fought minor border wars with the Moguls) until Cecil XXVIII (or is that XXX? You can choose either). The Cecilid Kings from then on:
1. Annexed the Northern Mogul lands.
2. Declared war on Tristaria, but were ultimately defeated and lost their holdings east of the Kalmar River to Tristaria and Davar.
3. Acted very erratically (SB came and went).
@Cuiv- Bah, I probably can't do update on Thursday, not a good one at least. Send 'em before July 8, or just around when I get back.
Or you could send orders now and I could do some partial updating so that I can get it done sooner when I get back.

Any particular reason why Gammorea doesn't have stats?

Weep, Mother.
I was talking mainly about Ken and SS. They were all ready to form an alliance, but then when Contempt offered a NAP they jumped on it. I just think its funny

Well, that much I know - I did do some reserach after all. Ah well, I'll find some way to pack them there.

Well hopefully they'll destroy each other - the Lengels will raze the Citadel, but not before the deadly Cultural Assimilation Ray fires at them making them pacifistic and lazy.

Alex, I know we haven't discovered each other and everything, all the weird diplomatic insults can come later...but I want to settle the whole boundry issue right now. The geography will probably alter things a little, but I was hoping that future borders can be divided along these lines:

That'll be rather difficult - no border, plus he has a slight numerical advantage.
$#!7 !!!
I must have deleted them when I moved them to the NPC list...
Edit: JD, damn, you nearly gave me a heart attack! It's in the NPCs. At least check before you start complaining!
Next person to do something like that will be smote with plague!
