MedIOT: An IOT of Medieval politics and warfare

[TheGryphonPrince]

We call all the other Germanic tribes to nominally unite for a glorious raid against the Frankish Kingdoms to our west. The plunders would be divided according to the military involvement every tribe had.

The Saxon tribe (the one in the southeast) and the frisians (the one in the northeast) accept the invitation to raid the Franks. We shall kick these Christians out of the fatherland!

NPC stats have been delayed due to further exams.

Bahri Republic of Balyaar

Balyaar spreads a wing of alliance to its brothers-in-faith Qurtuba and Aqitaniyya, for Muslim brothers must not falter in this sea of Faranjiyyun.

Dropping.

 

[TheGryphonPrince]

Bahri Republic of Balyaar

Balyaar spreads a wing of alliance to its brothers-in-faith Qurtuba and Aqitaniyya, for Muslim brothers must not falter in this sea of Faranjiyyun.

Qurtuba and Aqitaniyya gladly accept the alliance offer. However, the king of the Franks has made an alliance with the duke to the east of Aqitanyya to prevent muslim attacks into the land.

OOC announcement: I just got 4 GB of RAM for my computer, but since I have Windows XP, I can only use 3 GB even with my former 2 GB RAM plaquet. Therefore, I am going to switch to Windows 7 just to get the damn thing working. Just a while I began to do the backup. What this means for the IOT; While the orders will still lock on Thursday, there will probabily be no report until Saturday or Sunday, or perhaps I will have to drop the NPC stats once again. I didn't expect the 4 GB of RAM being mostly useless because I have XP and thus I didn't expect this delay at all.

Buy 2 normal armies. Bank the rest. Sorry for late orders. Next time, I will send more detailed orders.

 

[Nonevah]

Uh... where were the NPC stats? I don't see them anywhere in the thread.

Like I said, they are coming next turn. Haven't done it since I was putting my computer back in order but I am working on the stats right now.

 

[TheGryphonPrince]

OOC: Well, transiting from my calculator to LibreOffice Calc has been a headache. It took me 3 hours to finish the stats, but nevertheless, here they are. Since I might have done some horrible mistakes with my calculator, be aware that the numbers might have changed horribily. No worries, there is nothing major.

Turn 2 - 1074 A.D​

Orders lock: 4th of September​

The Frankish Alliance

Worried about the alliances the Bahris have made with the still-remaining muslim areas in Europe, France has made an alliance with Avignon to counter any possible muslim attacks in the mainland. However, any non-muslim nation may attack one of these nations and it will not trigger the alliance.

A call to arms by the germans!

The Germans have called a great raid against the Frankish kingdoms in the east. Worried about it, the Germanic Order has rallied 2 peasant armies and created an army. The raiding germanic tribes have also created 2 armies to help the raid and are preparing their levies. France has also ordered the mobilization of 2 peasant armies and the creation of two armies.

To the nations that have less than 5 provinces I gave them one free army so they can defend themselves properly.

 

[Polyblank]

Come brothers! Let us all march against the Frankish lands and plunder their lands once and for all!

Orders:

Spoiler :

Raise all 3 peasant armies
Unite with the other Germanic Tribes and begin raiding Frankish provinces

 

[bonefang]

Can I please have Denmark ?

 

[Nonevah]

No builds this turn.

However, I would like to open talks with my Christian neighbors about the possibility of forming a regional coalition to work together against the Muslims (Pledge to come to each other's aid in the case of attack by the Moors, and start plans of perhaps going on the offensive as well).

The Germanic tribes have not yet finished rallying up the peasants. By 1080 they will have finished. Are you sure about proceeding without them anyway?

You are free to claim any NPC (or above an NPC before 1110) but you need to do a small writeup.

No builds this turn.

Worried about the fact that the Bahris have united against the Christians, Galicia and Leon are willing to accept these talks. With Navarra and Castille it will be a little bit harder since they are currently having diplomatic trouble with eachother and they would like to use any opportunity against eachother.

No, we shall proceed in 1080

Name: Kingdom of Denmark
Government: Feudal Kingdom
Religion: Norse
History: The current state of Denmark is the result of the union of the great king of Denmark, Thorfinn, with the ruling house of Norway. The current aim of the Kingdom of Denmark is to unite the lands, that originally belongs to the Danes, and to form the Kingdom of Scandinavia.

 

[Double A]

I appear to have dropped.

 

[TheGryphonPrince]

OOC: Okay then...

IC: Navarra has been attacked by the Bahris and their allies! Cordoba raises 2 armies and Navarra raises 3. Because of the late time of this result, the orders have been delayed to 5 September, 12:00 A.M UTC

In addition, the French raise 2 more armies and so does the Germanic Order. However, the Franks won't attack the Germans unless attacked.

Yes, I'm definetily introducing occupation/raiding mechanics next turn.
