TexNes I: The Rise of Europe

[ThomAnder]

Orders for Ming (counting the increse of economy from last update, i have 5 to spend)

-expand according to map with 1/4 of army toward south east and 1/8 toward southwest. Any civilized/local people encountered will be treated politely.
-Spend 2 eco point to grow industry by adopting crop rotation across the land, so more food is produced and thus sustain a higher population/workforce.
-Spend 1 eco point to create mathematics and science schools across the land, as well as create examinations (similar to the philosophy exams) for these subjects. This should increase our education. Find the teachers from arabia if need be.
-To offset the possible negative responses to the mentioned idea (sci and math school), Spend a eco point to pacify the peasants through festivals/lowering tax/give out food.
-Use the spare eco point to train new recruits (see below)
-Increase troops by 20000 (infantry), taking advantage of the new population from the new lands.
-continue on project

Btw Texas, can you differentiate the troops into cavalry/infantry/cannons? kinda hard to use tactics and draw up plans when it's so plain/common. Also make them more expensive so people won't have huge armys compared to the NPC's after like 3 turns and slaughter them?

(story about economy and Britain)
---------
Camelotian (hehehe) scientists introduce the concept of supply and demand to the rulers of Avalon...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics#Supply_and_demand

WORKERS OF Avalon! UNITE IN IMPROVING OUR ECONOMY!
I want you to spend your money in the marketplace to invigorate our economy, I want you to establish new businesses. The government will crack down on corruption and there is plenty of land to be had in our occupied territories in Ireland and Scotland. Be rich! The government is granting loans to anyone who wishes to establish his very own farm!

The government will introduce crop cycling, and we encourage everyone to start working Sunday nights as well. There will be summer time to save on daylight hours!
All young men are hereby encouraged to practice the longbow for sport on Sundays and women to have a job outside the house.

ye update is beginning...

 

[Texas Toast]

After this update you MAY customise your armies, BUT you must tell me the sums of units, and still, keep it pretty generic, not like 100 ligh calvalry, 100 medium, 100 heavy, 100 archer clavalry, 100 pikemen... ect...

So yeah. and send me the list please :]

in the update i hate to say it but some of yahs (well basically Arabia and Greece will be mightily mad)

 

[ThomAnder]

i recommend changing from 5000 troops per ind point to the following:

1000 infantry OR 500 Cavalry OR 5 Cannons (they're still expensive to make right now)

That or double it to 2000, 1000, 10 cannons. and 1 cannon should = 100 troops?

 

[ThomAnder]

How about having the following troops according to the tech level?

Nation Evolving: Spearman, Swordsman
Pre-Colonization Age: Pikemen, Horseman (like knights), Cannons
Colonization Age: Musketmen, Cavalry (like hussars), Horse Cannons
Industrial Age: Infantries, Mounted Infantries (like Dragoons), Artillery

Update #4​

1494​

Celts Collapse​

The celts have collapsed in entirety. They were just crushed by the onslaught of attacking Britons. The British, are getting angry with their increased militarization though, as almost the entire population that can be used in the military is in the military. If this is not changed, revolts will surely ensue. Also a crackdown upon the Celtic people, forcing them into work is also causing discontent.

-Ireland
+New country Brittany (All that celts ahd left)
+Discontent
- all but 10 000 celtic troops
- 10 000 Avalonian Knights

The new world bites back​

Spotlight

Axum in Full retreat​

The axum empire is asking for peace terms after another year of losses. They have lost yet more land to arabia. This after Greece also joined Arabia in the killing of Axums

- 5000 arabian troops
- 2000 Greek troops
- 20 000 Axum troops

Disaster in Camelot​

Celts appear to have blown up the royal palace. Celt diplomats entered the palace and detonated barrels filled with gunpowder. King Arthur the second is dead, and a succesor is yet to be named. The people of Avalon are frightened.

-1 confidence

Russia begins building Saint Basil's Cathedral​

Russia begins a wonder which will spread its religious beliefs all around the world.

Spotlight​

The new world attacked today. The Arabian settlements in South America were stormed by Incan soldiers this year. Through maps and books and devices stolen from the settlements the Incans have become slightly more advnaced, along with wiping out every last Arabian in South America, even though they sustained considerable casualties

-9 000 Warriors
-2 000 Arabian Troops
+2 education for Incas

China and Russia also expanded, as did the Colonies in North America, even with their switch of alleigance.

To Inca
From Arabia

We wish for peace. We will teach you the ways of the old world, if you leave our colonies be. What say you?

 

[Kal'thzar]

To Arabia
From The Incan Empire

On the condition that you Stay Away From The Chosen Land. (South America!)


OOC: Drake, wait until i'm a couple more ages advanced then i might be able to talk to you more about trade etc. Rem we're pretty much bloodthirsty barbarians.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Oh Texas, In the Stats, since I've finished my project shouldn't my Industry also go up? (i'm assuming you already put up the economy.)

 

[ThomAnder]

Yay, i get the first UU

Ming Treasure Ship

This large ship have anything from twelve down to three sails, which are made of bamboo rods plaited into mats. They are never lowered, but turned according to the direction of the wind; at anchor they are left floating in the wind.

A ship carries a complement of a thousand men, six hundred of whom are sailors and four hundred men-at-arms, including archers, men with shields and crossbows, who throw naphtha. In addition, they are armed with cannons and rockets. The ship is about 400 feet long, and more than a match for any ships at the time.

Texas, those boats i'll get from the project, make them this type please? (hence the name treasure fleet)

OOC: the small ship at the corner is the european flagship at the time...

 

[Texas Toast]

[Kal'thzar]

[Drake Rlugia]

To the Incans
From Arabia

Fine, we'll remove ourselves from The Chosen land.

 

[Dachs]

To: Axum

We are only helping our allies the Arabians, and have no right to demand concessions from you. We will leave when they leave.

 

[ThomAnder]

To: The mysterious nation of the two cities in south east
From: China

Who may you be?

 

[Drake Rlugia]

@Thom: I think those were things he forgot to erase..originally China extended down there and into India, but he changed it and forgot to take those two cities out..OR there is something hidden there no one knows about.

 

[Texas Toast]
