Sons of Mars II

Very well then. Austria will agree to a royal marriage and non-aggression pact with Albania and mutual reduction of military forces along our border. We will also re-open the long-closed trade links between our two nations.
 
...right. i predict a very confusing succession crisis in the future.
 
We still need orders from:

-Belgium

-Kenya

-Slavic Union

-Spain

-NCR

-Florida

Meanwhile, Songhai and Salt Empire are being automated; the latter is automated until Aiolos returns and the former is pretty much done for anyway, so I'm going to get this conflict over with.

Salt Empire techs up; agreement signed with United Empire and Liberia.

---

Time to finish the Songhai War once and for all, I think.

Both sides tech up as much as possible of course, before opening fire on eachother.

Songhai sits back, hoping to take advantage of a defense.

Liberia gets a +5 on all rolls!

As does another province!

And another...

More battles kill some Liberians but gun down much of the remaining Songhai forces.

The remaining Liberians are holed up in locations and seem safe, until 3 bands of Liberian Marines land on their shores!

The Songhai lose 3 provinces to a brutal assault. 2 provinces remain guarded by 3 forces each!

At first, it seems they might not be able to be finished off, but the Salt Empire knows opportunity, and pays all 30 of its gold to the Liberians for the last two provinces.

10 2
6 1
3 7

The Songhai are crushed and annexed.

Songhai is split 1/13 to the Salt Empire and 12/13 to the Liberians.

50 Army Tech and 203 Econ tech is to be split.

4 Army to Salt, and 46 to Liberia.
16 Econ to Salt, and 187 to Liberia.

In total, the Salt Empire has profited 20 gold this turn, so within about 3 turns, the investment will have paid itself off given the boost to base income.

Liberia has emerged as a foremost world power.

More concerning, the world's powers are consolidating into alliances:

Indian Ocean Treaty Organisation (IOTO)

Arabia, Hyderabad, Madagascar

Oriental Protection and Economic Cooperation (OPEC)

Japan, Srivijaya, Auralia, Java

Pacific Defense Alliance (PDA)

Kiwi, Hawai'i, Java, Tonga-Samoa

Pan-American Treaty Organisation (PATO)

Gran Colombia, Maya, United States of Canada, Antilles
 
The Avatar of the Palatinate of Enerjak and Emperor of the Kalmar Union completed their short but sweet meeting. They had decided to take the plunge and enrich eachother at the expense of various third parties...

Kalmar, citing a religious casus belli, invades Canada, triggering a chain of declarations as news travels across the Caribbean quickly. Enerjak, at the same time, declares war without a casus belli on the Antilles; everyone's too occupied with something else or has consumed their resources.

Both sides call on Scientific allies if necessary; Kalmar promises the British some colonies in exchange for their technological assistance - 3 to be exact. Not a bad deal given the Kalmar Union saved 50+ TC using British technology... much of that will also be made up when they get a share of Canada's spoils!

Both Canada and Kalmar have Army 11, and Canada uses its full force to repel the Scandinavians from their base in the harbor, which has 8 protectors.

The hunch proves correct; Kalmar loses its base in the Americas.

However, much of Canada's armed forces have vanished into the void of war. Kalmar has a surprise in store... a naval invasion!

1 ship, armed with six soldiers, goes along the coast and captures settlements all throughout! This includes the undefended capital city.

Canada orders whatever forces it has left to strike at the Scandinvian forces; they MUST be repelled!

10 6

The capital of Canada is retaken, but the rest of the country is left undefended.

Meanwhile, more forces from Scandinavia proper arrive, and take 4 undefended provinces.

---

While Canada implodes from poor military leadership in the face of Scandinavian invasion up north, further south, Enerjak, as a co-conspirator, splits the Pan-American forces apart by assaulting the Antilles.

1 ship, armed with 8 groups of soldiers, takes up position near the Antilles! In total, Enerjak enjoys a +4 advantage.

Antilles are annexed.

90 Army tech and 108 Econ tech are seized as spoils! Enerjak reaches Army 16, allowing 4 moves per turn.

With armies ready for the inevitable counterattack, Enerjak awaits as the Colombians march on Palatine territory.

"You think you're so clever! I defeated Super SonicShadowDr. EggmanFinitevus the Antilles!" Enerjak gloats as his foes approach.

Enerjak gets +3 to all rolls and is on the defense, meaning things will favor him slightly.

4 armies are destroyed but a new province is seized.

The Mayans reinforce their allies as possible, but focus on protecting their own lands first.

The first move Enerjak makes is using a well-poised army to seize the Colombian capital, which will shake their stability.

2 2

He then crushes a Colombian force and blockades the coast of Colombia.

9 6

The former Incan capital is also taken.

9 1

Enerjak's last attack reverses yet another gain.

Enerjak has crushed two nations in one turn, and is on his way to absorbing Colombia, which will leave him as the sole power in South America. Meanwhile, Kalmar is rampaging across the North, and it seems there's no end to the chaos of war as nations struggle amongst eachother for resources.

Three juggernauts - the Turks, Enerjak, and Japan - are scattered at equal distances around the globe. Will these powers one day rule a tripolar world, or will the nations of the Earth contain their motives?
 
As for interventionism on the part of outsiders:

-The Pan-American Alliance has obviously taken action.

-Liberia has used up all its resources, never mind it has trade with Enerjak.

-Salt Empire; same as Liberia.

-Florida and the NCR of course can use the Belligerence CB against Enerjak if they so wish, but the NCR is far away, whereas Florida would more likely use this as an opportunity to take back its lands from the PAA.

-United Empire cites trade concerns as a reason for non-intervention.

-That leaves S. Africa and Belgium, which are human-controlled. Belgium couldn't reach Enerjak in one turn as a note (meaning their invasion fleet could be destroyed) while S. Africa is vastly outclassed militarily (+6 to each of Enerjak's rolls), while current trade agreements are more profitable as well.
 
Kenya puts everything into Economy.
 
i thought i already put my orders in.

all money into army.

oh and we decide to ignore the chaos that's going on. we have our hands full.
 
PLEASE DO NOT AUTOMATE MY NATION!!!
Please inform me via vm in the future, thank you.

@South Africa - We accept

Econ: 30
Army: 40
Civic: 30
Raise: 10 armies
Bank remainder in vaults

The NCR raises it's readiness level to DEFCON 4 due to the aggressiveness of Enerjak. (Were not utilizing a CB, just yet)
 
There's getting to be some seriously scary NPC power out there :eek:.
 
Florida, following a strategy given to them by Enerjak, declares war on Colombia without a CB - however, no RR is incurred since Dommy is militaristic.

This is all a ruse - Canada and Maya declare war on Florida instead, giving them the +10% RR since a peace treaty counts as a NAP for 5 turns! Using Enerjak's research capabilities free of charge, they beef their army.

2 provinces are retaken with no battle.

5 more after that, with an assault on coastal settlements.

The Maya enjoy a slight advantage of +1, and have some spare troops, so they order an attack on the Floridian position. 3 armies go against 2!

1 2
5 4
1 2

2 of their armies are laid to waste while Florida loses 1.

Meanwhile, the CIS sends 20 gold to Florida in exchange for 3 provinces. The provinces traded are one of Canada's, and 2 of Florida's own.

Will Florida re-assert itself as an American power, not that it has joined the chaos in the New World? Or will the NCR, using its position as a neutral party, assert itself as the dominant power in the Americas instead?
 
Only Prospo still needs to give orders... so I'll give him until tonight. :p

---

Canada, meanwhile, is open to any and all aid against these bloodthirsty warmongers who dare to attack peace-loving Canada. Enerjak's War of Pan-American Domination is progressing all too well, and if his allies Kalmar and Florida are not stopped, then who will fall next?

The CIS, meanwhile, announces its intention to match whatever Spain puts up; it has a vested interest in Floridian/Scandinavian victory.

can the CIS even do that? anyway, we abandon the army research project and put all the gold we have into Canada's coffers. we have 130 gold.

oh and canada? don't make us regret it. (and, who is the CIS?)

I'm not allowing retconning of funds, so I'll just give the 25 you have left.

(and, who is the CIS?)

Confederacy of Island States, an economic/trade superpower.

CIS donates 14 gold to Florida and 11 gold to Kalmar, boosting their defenses, free of charge!

The 5 armies of Canada march on Florida's, with a +3 advantage in combat of 1-10!

3 Floridian armies are destroyed!

In the aftermath, however, Florida takes 1 province.

Kalmar takes a province as well.

Quebec comes under fire from Kalmar's troops.

..hmph.

Florida meanwhile, engages the Maya in Alabama-Mississippi!

Being evenly matched in skill, Florida prevails.
