Sons of Mars II

[Mathalamus]

Spain better make some allies....

then i ask England if they are willing to risk their tea and wine (Britain and France respectively) for us if the Floridians come knocking.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Since Spain is an ally of Austria, an ally of the United Empire, the UE is all too happy to ink a defensive pact with the Spanish.

 

[Optical]

The Pan-Slavic Union accepts the Olafic alliance proposal

Excellent.

The Pan-Slavic Union would like to congratulate their ally on their sucessful conquests.

Thanks! I have a feeling that you're going to be a good ally.

 

[GenMarshall]

err... who thinks that i am Florida's next target?

We'll keep an eye on them.

 

[BSmith1068]

Madagascar, meanwhile, has chosen to dishonor the alliance in the wake of such a massive force rolling in.

To: Madagascar
From: South Africa

This is a dangerous world we live in. This is made plainly clear by the complete and swift obliteration of your allies. I can see by the way you did not come to their defense that you would like to avoid war at all cost.

The way I see it, you only have one option to avoid war. Smaller nations all across this world have been gobbled up by larger and more powerful nations. South Africa is one of the most powerful and largest nations in the world - and you are right next to us. We can not sit idly by and let another nation gobble you up. Regardless of the path you choose, the nation of Madagascar has a very limited lifetime.

So I have a deal for you. We will spare you war and conflict, but in return we ask that you willingly join the nation of South Africa. Be governed fully by us, and become a part of us.

So what say you? Do you stand against the reality that is our world, defiant to your bloody end? Or do you willingly join one of the most pre-eminent powers on the face of the earth?

If you need any convincing, I can have my air force (the only one in the world mind you) do a little demonstration of its powers on some of your land. I am sure that you have already seen my navy off your shores…

 

[Mathalamus]

Spain isn't impressed with south Africa forcing Madagascar to join. seriously, we have England right next to us, and we aren't forcing them to join us...

 

[BSmith1068]

Perhaps you would like to join South Africa too? I can extend you the same offer if you like...

 

[Mathalamus]

Perhaps you would like to join South Africa too? I can extend you the same offer if you like...

*shudder* a human nation cant really join another human nation.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Madagascar holds honor and dignity above all else, and refuses to join the South African Empire. Molon Labe!

(Everyone: Proxy War GO GO GO! l3)

 

[Arakhor]

Austria extends a guarantee of independence to Madagascar and urges the rest of its allies and defensive partners to do the same.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Seems the Echidna are tech 41. Therefore, they are past the Industrial Age. I hereby decree the Suez Canal open, and therefore, Arakhor is able to guarantee the independence of Madagascar.

Panama remains closed due to impoverished nations continuing to rule over it.

"Mwahaha! Time to eat a Knuckles sandwich!" the demigod shouted!

...the crowd stared at him in confusion. He sighed before vaporising several of them with a chaos beam for their ignorance. Then again, there was a reason he cast off the name Knuckles... puns aside!

He resumed his beatdowns; he was beginning to appreciate physical, rather than "magical," prowess. Oh, how his golden trench-spikes were becoming worn...

Colombia techs up, but Enerjak does too - to Army 20, in fact. Enerjak has +6 on them... on a battlefield of 1-15.

Colombia votes to let Enerjak hit first.

11 13

Colombia wins 2 of the matches.

Meanwhile, 3 GC armies are vaporised.

Enerjak raises 6 armies to take care of the last defenders of GC.

The last of COlombia's forces are destroyed. 7 provinces total have been seized... 10 provinces are overrun without armies.

Colombia clings to 4 last provinces...

As GC's fleet move to protect the Falklands, the Pacific is left open for conquest.

11 1
15 2
10 8

The islands are toasted.

Gran Colombia remains secure on its last province, the Falklands, with 2 navies patrolling the waters and 3 armies guarding the shores... but will it be enough?

Enerjak sends 2 fleets to destroy the fools.

13 13
11 13

With the GC fleet destroyed, the 5 troops aboard the vessels are sent to attack the island.

The Falklands, and all of Colombia, fall. Enerjak now stands at 86 provinces... glorious in itself, but the delicious cake has yet to be served.

33 provinces were seized, 4/33 to Florida and the rest to Dark Lord Enerjak.

40 Civics tech. 5 to Florida.
144 Econ tech. 18 to Florida.
368 Army tech. 45 to Florida.

Enerjak reaches Army 24, Econ 17, and Civics 10. At tech 51, he is quite safely the most advanced nation on Earth! Japan has only 37, S. Africa 40, and the Echidna Empire only 41...

---

We still need orders from Aiolos, Prospo, Maxa, Mad Man, Sonereal, and Arakhor.

I'm going to assume Mad Man and Maxa have dropped out without telling me, so I'll just NPC those...

 

[Aiolos]

For GM's eyes only:
Damn sometimes I hate how powerful absorbing army tech makes juggernauts in your games. luckily, I have a chance to pull something fun... Has Enerjak spent all its income this turn? And I would like to know his level of army tech please.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Assuming max army spending you could tech to Army 17, and he's Army 24. You would be on a battlefield of 1-20, with Enerjak having a +7 advantage.

Furthermore! Enerjak has little coin to raise armies, but he has plenty of spare armies in Patagonia which can be easily ferried northward. With the tech of the Salt Empire preventing ability to intercept them. Even with a successful offensive, he has 86 provinces, and so could absorb quite a beating!

 

[Aiolos]

He jumped that far ahead in one turn? Thats just wrong how about Enerjak-Africa? I cant let you have two super NPC's owning all world politics. This game just wouldnt be fun anymore

 

[Tani Coyote]

If you knew Japan, they'd be offended you forgot them!

Echidna Empire is at Army tech 16, and is currently in a PU with the Turks. Besides invoking a belligerence CB on your state, attacking them would run the risk of drawing in the entirety of the Triple Alliance of Slavia, Turkey, and Albania.

Both factions have used up their resources, however, so apart from their fresh armies, they'd have no real ability to counterattack.

It really comes down to NPC intervention (likely) and how quickly Triple Alliance reinforcements arrived.

 

[Prospo]

Pan-Slavic Union
Vault: 231
Orders: Research Army 8, 9, and 10 with 135 gold
Build 2 army on the border with the Kazahks with 8 gold
Build 1 navy in the Caspian Sea with 4 gold
Blitz the Kazahks, use the fleet for support
Research Econ 10 with 50 gold
Vault the remaining 34 gold
Propose a trade agreement with Japan and the Ottoman Empire

 

[Tani Coyote]

At Army 7 and having given away most of their money, the Kazakhs are pretty much screwed. They are at Army 7, with the Slavs at 10.

Rolls are on a scale of 1-15.

10 9
4 11
13 12

5-5. Kazakhstan is destroyed, but takes many Slavic troops with it.

All of Slavic Union's neighbors get a casus belli on it due to the war of aggression, but most have spent their cash. Japan, meanwhile, declines to expand militarily, as fun as proving Asian superiority over the uncouth Europeans would be. As such, it acceps the trade agreement instead.

That leaves the Habsburgs, Kalmar, and Olaf to decide whether they want to eat Slavia, but given the Triple Alliance's status, it would be a risky move.

Meanwhile, Slavia gets 64 Econ tech and 61 Army tech. It at least makes up for the net loss of 25 gold to the war.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Annnnd we are left with only Arakhor, Sonereal, and Aiolos' orders...

I'll assume Son is inactive and turn Albania into an NPC.

 

[Aiolos]

Gah... Another friend now an NPC enemy.. All income into the economy again this turn (this oughta put me over diplo distance limitation to china). Offer an alliance and a trade agreement to Japan, Florida, and whoever else I dont have one with. Offer an alliance to every one in Africa, except for Enerjak, as he can not accept one. How long tell there is a chance of a succession crisis?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Correct, Aiolos; you may now open trade with the Orient, including Japan grande.

In other news, Kenya, Darfur, Liberia, and the Salt Empire coalesce into the Pan-African Defense Alliance. Kenya vouches for the well-being of its partner Madagascar, and guarantees them.

I am half-tempted to give you all ICBMs here soon...
