Marians: Sons of Mars

obviously you did. come on, 70 armies could destroy Russia if you wanted to.
 
Russia declares war on china!

President Matthew Barabas: Russia is falling seriously behind Iberia, and must expand if we are to maintain competitive on the internationalist world. also we are sick and tired of the Russia VS china topics that keeping popping up.

Russia will destroy China in one bold move, annex it, and MAYBE release it as a vassal. (depending on revolt risk) use anything necessary.
 
Russia has 43 armies to China's 43, but China enjoys a +0.3 bonus in all combat, meaning it will win all ties.

Russia has 43 armies but attacks with only 30, leaving 13 on the defensive.

Russia loses 2 armies. China loses 3.
 
shoudl have looked on china's nonexistent military statistics...
 
Since China's quite frankly done in the aftermath of a Japanese attack, Russia decides to take 3 more Chinese provinces to expand its gains.

Japan Attacks China!

While Singapore's nibbled a bit at the center of China and Russia has confiscated great deals of the northwest, China's ready to take whatever's left - 4 provinces to be exact.

China has 23 armies to Japan's 20, but a few new ones being raised brings Japan to 30 armies. China enjoys a morale bonus of +0.3.

Resounding victory! China loses all four provinces, but still has 19 armies left to fight with against Japan's remaining 26.

0 Japanese to 9 Chinese.

Japan has run low on manpower. Perhaps it will borrow some money to finish off the Chinese?

Since it costs 5.8 gold to hire an army in Japan, Japan borrows 62 gold from Singapore and promises 66 back come next turn. This raises 11 armies.

China still stands with 2 armies, and Japan loses 3 armies.

With authorisation from the Emperor and his Shogunate, the Japanese foreign minister borrows more money, this time from Tagalog - 10 gold for 11 gold next turn.

It pays off! China is demolished. Japan receives 13 provinces. It also receives China's tech and gold reserves: 180 Civics, 105 Army, 180 Infra, 55 Diplo, and 2.5 gold.

India and China have been ka-powed, so things will look quite different.

----

Formula = (Army * Morale) + (Research + Treasury)

Benchmarks:

1 Tech = 10;
2 = 30;
3 = 60;
4 = 100;
5 = 150;
6 = 210;
7 = 280;
8 = 360;
9 = 450;
10 = 550;
11 = 660
12 - 780
13 - 910
14 - 1050
15 - 1200

Tier One:

Iberia - 418.2 + 3057 = 3475.2 - Overlord of Sunni Islam, Confucianism and Buddhism(via Lombardia)

Iberia is 25.3% stronger than its closest competitor; even secular states have a casus belli on Iberia now, but it will be lost as soon as Iberia drops below 25%. Iberia also has a strong network of alliances, however, in the form of Lombardia, Hedjaz, Iraq, Najd, East Indies, France, and Cameroon. It enjoys the moral support of Canada, Axum, Persia, Takrur and Dahomey, and furthermore has Russia as an actual ally. Beyond that, a vast(and well-trained! Only Austria's army is better trained, by a margin of 0.1!) military and a large fleet stand ready to tear apart the economies of those who fight them. It also has trade agreements with several large rivals, tying their economies together. In total, the Iberian Empire in some way or another has influence over and friendship with 14 of the world's 51 states.

Austronesia - 52.8 + 2720 = 2772.8
Germany - 318.5 + 2320 = 2638.5 - Overlord of Protestantism
Amazon - 117.8 + 2282 = 2399.8
Austria - 317.2 + 1794 = 2111.2

Tier one powers cannot ally with, guarantee, or sign defensive pacts with eachother. As such, Germany and Iberia are not capable of inheriting Austria anymore as that would make them allies. The Austro-German Alliance also dissolves, spelling the de jure end of the Central Powers. Austria, however, plans to continue cooperation with Germany to preserve international peace.

Tier Two:

Singapore - 85.8 + 1988 = 2073.8
Zululand - 130.5 + 1826 = 1956.5
Japan - 111.6 + 1622 = 1733.6
Deseret - 38.7 + 1622 = 1660.7 - Overlord of Shi'a Islam

Tier Three:

Nubia - 216 + 1371 = 1587
Russia - 110.7 + 1440 = 1550.7 - Overlord of Orthodoxy and Judaism
Canada - 70 + 1376 = 1446

Tier Four:

Carthage - 60 + 1303 = 1363 - Overlord of Hinduism
Caribbean - 72 + 1190 = 1262 - Overlord of Shinto (via Antilles)
Mali - 50 + 1205 = 1255
 
Your weak economy - low Infra - has been a major cause, I imagine. :p Also, poor morale vis-a-vis other powers like Iberia and Austria ruins the potential gains of a large army.
 
In other news, Iberia donates 5 gold to Austronesia as a symbol of goodwill.

i completely forgot that you are japan :(

what do you want us to do with the Chinese territories that we managed to capture?

in other words, Russia is still not even a second tier nation. this must be fixed ASAP. despite the fact that we just conquered china, and settled the Russia VS China dispute.

I imagined you were going to turn your newly acquired territories into an independent Mongolian State.
 
Mongolia was annexed loooong ago. :p

33% with the territories annexed.

India takes on its rebels!

The Indian state doesn't have much to its name compared to the days of the Blackstone Dynasty, but it will try to get by. There are 8 provinces in revolt, and India can only hope to muster 8 armies against them.

After some quick debate, the Indian Maharajah raises 9 armies with his state's funds, pushing India towards deficit spending.

5-5. India will have to raise more forces!

India petitions Germany to permanently transfer some of its forces to Indian usage, or barring that, grant a gift of gold to India, so it will not have to look towards acquiring money from rivals in the Austrian, Iberian, or Austronesian spheres of influence.
 
In other news, Sunni Islam has just passed the 300 province mark at 305 provinces, its closest rival Confucianism having 184 provinces. The third largest faith, Orthodoxy, claims 151 provinces. The fourth largest, Hinduism, at 147, is the first at the top of the list to be outside the Iberian sphere of influence.

10 of 52 states adhere to Islam as their state faith.
 
at least we are good in something.

.. the Russian state may at its discretion attempt to convert other countries faith to orthodoxy. even Iberia, should we choose.
