TC September 12 4:30 PM GMT Online

[Lord Civius]

Here is my TC plan:
7 turns today and 7 turns Sunday night. I will be off line tonight, Saturday and Sunday until the evening. Both TCs will be online and I will use the War Room to show battle by battle Screenies. I know this is short notice and if Cyc or the general citizenry want to wait and do all 14 turns sunday then so be it.

We are under martial law and there is no need for governor instructions. I will use TCN's instructions as a guideline for build qeues but my main concern will be winning both wars. I will do what is necessary to achieve this. I encourage anyone that can be online to do so as I am very active during my TCs.

I am setting the time for 4:30 PM GMT today. That is 3 hours from now. I will be doing a report like before so those that miss it will get a complete play by play with lots of screenies.\

Something appers to be wrong with the chat room. Can't bring it up.

 

[Lord Civius]

I am firing up the save now and going online. I'll use this time to do all of the micromanaging and troop deployments. The revolution to Nationalsm and the end of the first turn mill begin in one hour.

Something appers to be wrong with the chat room. Can't bring it up.

That is what happened to me on my first TC. I went ahead and downloaded mIRC (it's free) to get on. We have an hour so take the time to D/L any irc software and use the Server
irc.irc-chat.net (6667 portal)
and channel
#turnchat

 

[Lord Civius]

Here is the save I'll do the screenies a little later. We whipped a$$ and took names.

[Lord Civius]

I've put some battle screenies up in the War Room thread. A report along with the rest of the screenies is coming later today.

BTW I "logged files" before leaving the TC anyone know how to get it on your computer from mIRC?

 

[Furiey]

Look in your mIRC/Log folder and you will see the log files in there. They are just text files, so you can load them in notepad/wordpad/word or whatever you want to use, delete any rubbish at the beginning and the end and save as a .txt file. Upload in the normal way

 

[Furiey]

double (nearly triple) post

[Lord Civius]

1685 AD

Cyc- "As King, I appoint Lord Civius Supreme Commander of the Military"

With this new honor, I went through the Cities of New Arkadia calling on the great citizens of Arete to grab their rifles and help defend the homeland. This spawned a revolution from the people. They called it Nationhood. While the people were busy fighting overthrowing the Vassal lords, I was busy giving orders. First I called on all of our Navy to depoly to the western coast. The Beauty of Arete and her escort ship Provos' Epic were fresh from dropping a load of Seafaring men off to build a naval settlement when they got the order to redeploy. They made haste and while approaching the Viking Coast they spotted a 2nd Mayan Armada....

They followed protocol and began shadowing the ship, just out of sight.

The Naval Settlement was completed in no time and the fisherman put down their poles to help costruct a lighthouse.

King Cyc and I spent the next few years deploying the Kings army to both warfronts. Some of the units were still carrying axes and bows so we rounded up rifles to give to the men closest to the projected landing area of the Mayan Armada. We now had to wait out the revolution and hope the citizens would fight for our nation and not their feudal lords.

1690 AD
The Nation is now united and the Feudal lords were cast into the ocean. The much anticipated invasion of the Mayans was delayed by some expert Aretean Naval Tactics.

They were now just off the coast of Seville. The people immediately took up arms to defend the city. It was the first Aretean draft and would be far from the last. In the meantime our Cannon bombardment of the babylonian city of Mari had detroyed its' defenses.

1695 AD
the feared Frigate, Provos' Epic, spotted a Galleon from the 2nd Armada that strayed from its escort. Now or never said the Captain before giving the order to ATTACK....

Provos' Epic sunk the Galleon though only God knows who or what was in it. Odds are it was full of Mayan Heathens hell bent on pillaging our lands.

Then our great King was summoned to the Aretean Acedemy of Technology, they must be close to a breakthrough.

The 1st Armada seems to want to play a game of cat and mouse.

1700 AD

The sinking of the 2nd Armadas' Galleon sent the rest of them running with their tails between their legs...

The Battle for Mari begins...

ands ends with no losses.

The first Armada continues to play cat and mouse with our Frigates. This plays into our favor as time is on our side.

This concludes Part 1 of the Turn Report, part 2 is coming soon.

 

[civplayah]

Good so far!

 

[Provolution]

Very good

I got a concrete idea for Mayan War Goals, and I will call it the Port Civius Treaty (where we sign it)

Mayapan goes to Inca Empire
Quirigia goes to Viking Empire
Xupki will be razed to make an example for other nations.

This way, we will have destabilized the continent (like the major powers do all the time to the third world), and there will be no more Mayan Eastern Seaboard to threaten us again.

 

[thecommonnate]

Great TC Lord Civius, you always seem to get better results from every one.

 

[Lord Civius]

1705 AD

While King Cyc was off entertaining the Aretean Scholars Astronomists and scientists, the warlord Provolution joined me in the strategy room. As we were discussing force ratios and such a dark figured entered the room. A dark cloak masked his appearances. He laid a sack on the table and and left without a word. Provo seemed shocked but I was expecting my dark agents with a report on Justinian. Intelligence was light but there was a map detailing a naval deployment.

Kassite was our only weak point and he intended to make us pay. Vandal Warlord called an emergency meeting of the families. A call to arms was necessary and naval power needed. All of the locals came with their extra rifles and metal goods to go along with the massive iron spears. Many citizens died slaving in the Forge and on the docks. In the end the threat disappeared into the fog of war.

A true Epic was born on the last days of this period. The mighty Frigate, Provos' Epic, sunk his 2nd Mayan ship defending the coast of Seville. Then he was outflanked by a fast approaching Maya Galleon and was destroyed and with it the "Beauty of Arete" Galleon. There sacrifice will not be forgotten. In all of the mayhem Justinian was able to land his armada.....

1710 AD

The Mayan surprise lived its entire life on our waters. By this time New Arkadia had raised an exceptional Militia and was more than ready to defend herself. The Seville Field Marshal called for his cannons on the front lines. The blasts were heard as far away as Arete.

The burning balls of iron cut through 6 enemy units until what remained of the Maya Knights reached our front lines. The Field Marshal died with his brothers in battle that day. The Trebs opened up and laid a massive boulder barrage on the first and second lines of the Mayan armada. They too were eventually over run by a battered Maya Knight division. Shell shocked and demoralized from weeks of relentless bombardment the enemy was not prepared for what came next-

Finally Naval reinforcements were able to join the engagement. 3 Maya Galleons were sunk and 2 of them were responsible for sinking our beloved ships. We now have a Naval Fleet to challenge any further threats from the Mayans. The Cannon bombardment of the Babylonian Capital has destroyed their defenses.

1715 AD
The Babylonian Campaign has reached phase 2 and the Assault on Eshnunna began with a familiar bang. Cannons once again rang out but their were no walls left to shield the defenders. The raid was quick and affective, we lost no units.

1720 AD

We are now marching on Opis, another heathen Holy City. Plans are to burn it to the ground. It can make room for a greater city in the memory of our fallen Aretans.

This concludes Part 2 of the Turn Report.

Lincoln will be finished off in 3 turns.
Two Frigates are hunting down the 3rd Armadas' location.
Should we make peace with Justinian when we can or make him pay? We have stacks that will soon have nothing to do.
What should we do with the Great Prophet?

 

[Provolution]

I think we need to continue the war, and bring it to Justinian shores!

 

[Furiey]

What should we do with the Great Prophet?

If we were to capture Opis and not raze it, we could build the holy islamic shrine and gain income from all those who follow that faith

 

[Cyc]

I'll side with Furiey this time, if her intentions are really to keep the city.

Good seven turn TC, Lord Civius. Your Supreme Commander status is extended for another seven turns.

 

[Lord Civius]

If we were to capture Opis and not raze it, we could build the holy islamic shrine and gain income from all those who follow that faith

Gameplay speaking this is a no brainer. However we are a Theocratic war machine and razing a Heathen city seems more realistic. Cyc is still King and I will go along with his orders though. Just thought I'd make a case for razing it.

 

[Vandal Warlord]

Gameplay speaking this is a no brainer. However we are a Theocratic war machine and razing a Heathen city seems more realistic. Cyc is still King and I will go along with his orders though. Just thought I'd make a case for razing it.

Wrong, Cyc has been De-throned.

 

[Lord Civius]

You are right Vandal the election ended today. So is the decision mine as the interim DP or should we vote on it? I'm playing the second half tomorrow so we don't have much time for a vote.

 

[Cyc]

Well, if Furiey is against razing the city, I'm against it. Let's hear what she has to say. Vote or no vote.

 

[Furiey]

I am against razing the city.

A Great Prophet turning up at this time is just asking to be used to build that shrine. Think of gold that will bring in to fund our future war machine! Should that be a Great Profit?
