God Wills It (OOC/AH/Nation/OPEN)

Yes, Territory has been gained; I updated the map so that the Fatamids just claimed Jerusalem and Sicily (You) gained Olbia.

So are the player countries in yellow and NPCs in red?

Player Countries are surrounded with a Red Outline. NPC's aren't. The names are different colors to have the names be visible.

You won't lol...its a madeup term...I'm referring to my attempts to stir up revolts among the Antiochian and Melkite Christians of the East. I coined the name for it: the Antiochian Spring

I see. I don't remember there being any massive revolts to get the Orthodox and Copts in the Middle East to join their Crusade, but it could very well be possible, what with RNG.

NS Name: Rehs
Official Nation Name: Kingdom of Frisia
Unofficial Nation Names: None
Territory: 2 orange areas just North of Belgium
Leader: King Ellert Boomsma
Government Style: Absolute Monarchy
Ethnic Groups: Frisian, Danish, Belgian, German, Norman, Saxon, Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, and Dutch
Religions: Catholic, Judaism, and Islam
Culture: The Frisian culture is heavily influenced by its Danish and German neighbors. While not part of the Holy Roman Empire, Frisians like to consider themselves an Imperial state, even if the HRE doesn't. They have a heavy focus on shipbuilding and culture, due to their Norman and Saxon roots. While not as proficient at trade as the wealthy Italian Republics, they do trade milk and cheeses with their neighbors, since it is their staple product. And last but not least, they are quite cultured for the time period due to the large amount of people in their port cities, but the Monarchy has always been heavily influenced by the Church.
History: Frisia was originally a small tribe of Northmen just North of the Franks' borders. However, Saxons who were travelling to England stopped and mixed with the local population. After several small skirmishes, the Frisians secured their small kingdom against the Danish and Franks. After that, they defended their territory ferociously against raiders, while their merchants traded with the larger realms of the land to secure wealth. But the Monarchs, seeing the vast glory the Church was gaining, not to mention its wealth, decided to give the Church some more power in their lands. With increased ties to the Church, Frisia's small Muslim communities were put under even more pressure by Church officials to convert.

Am I accepted.

Accepted!

Do you have a version of the map without the text?

I mentioned in my last post that the Emperor was sending agents into Palestine Phoenicia and Anatolia, to stir up revolts.

I am a simple man.

I see inactive player ripe to get looted, I loot.

Gonna start just using raiding parties so I don't have to wait months to raise a legion.

The man speaking to him seemed to be speaking gibberish but at least it was in Swedish. Was this all the northern Liege would give him? Was it even worth it? But he dismissed his thoughts to the depths of his mind. Gustavus thought for long. He had no quarrel with the eastern Heretics. But still, they were a problem. Their government was weak allowing crime and degenerates to flourish there. To make it all worse they were pagans. Savages that refused to be saved by Christ and the Lord above. These pagans had begun to make trouble in the northern frontier of the Empire. They committed horrible rituals that seemed to be an attempt to summon the devil himself. He had given orders to his frontier guards to slay all Pagans they found. They would find salvation one way or the other. What did he think? He could only fight on one front. Or could he. A sly smile filled his face while he stroked his great brown beard. His blue eye's fiercely twinkled. Anyone that knew Gustavus knew that he was plotting. Then he spoke to the men in front of him, "Are you suggesting a crusade, not against the south but the East? Really? Leave, wait in the main hall. I must speak to the council."

The hubristic voice in his head told him that he need not the voice of those peasants that called themselves the council. He was chosen by the Lord himself and he had to listen to those mortal men. But the rational voice in his head told him that he was still young and those men were wise. Yet his face grimaced as the envoys left the room...

So... is that a yes..?

OP, make that two legions.

Raiding Parties take up Unit Space, and are poor compared to Standard Armies and especially Legions.

I will make it two legions, I'm working as fast as I can on this. I've decided to further split the original post, from NPC and PC, to now the Page 1 PC actions and Page 2 PC actions. Maybe doing it like this will make this much more quick to do.

Unit space?

[Jade Confederacy]

Can i get a summary of how the dice system works? Will the troop numbers be generated that way or can we raise our own forces? How will the quality of the troops be determined? A unit of heavy cavalry is worth x15 their number in levy infantry at this time

Unit space?

Yeah, maximum number of troops any state can have is 5K, unless they are smaller. It's just easier this way on my end.

Hey, I would appreciate it if anyone can help find some Georgian military leaders during this time period. You know, other than the king.

Also Valtrona, despite my best efforts, the only Georgian General I can find is King David IV. So either I'm going to use the King, or I'm going to spawn a random general with a Georgian Name.

You tell me you want to raise forces; I roll to see how many you actually get, and what their quality is. You can tell me you want specific types of Units that can get modifiers.

He still thinking about it. You're asking me to fight two fronts at the same time.

That’s fine. I couldn’t find anything myself, so it’s alright.

[Chinniwana]

Alright, I think this method will work. I shall have every post for page 2 done late tomorrow, and finally be caught up. Sorry again it's taken so long.

[Valtrona]

It’s fine. What’s my commander’s stats? I’m unfamiliar at reading dice roles like that one.

I haven't given you a commander yet, actually. I will give you one tomorrow.

Oh, alright. I told you I’m bad at reading these things.

Ah, ok...I thought for a moment you forgot me. No worries.

[Chinniwana]

Alright; other then the assault on Romuva by 2 Armies, I am now caught up! I will do the Assaults ASAP tomorrow. Thank you all for putting up with me and my slowness, hopefully I won't be this slow again.

The armies are headed for Cyprus, though, not the Seljuks in Anatolia. I was planning on sailing them over to Phoenicia; to take Antioch, Tyre, Beirut, etc. And what about the agents that were sent into those regions to provoke revolts?

[Strala]

Op on my last post I wrote mobilizing two armies and you didn't roll to see how much men they have

It's perfectly okay! Hope to see some real success in my invasion so I can establish g r a n d d u c h y o f l i e t u v a

[The Black Party]

My allies are taking too long to mobilize, might have to move out on my own.

[Fahran]

I'll post again today to respond to the Kara-Khanid emissary and begin raids against the Alans.

[Valtrona]

Oh wow, my commander is actually pretty good. Nice.

[Chinniwana]

Oh, I'm very sorry. I thought I did yours, but I missed it. Please forgive me, it will be up with the Romuva wars.

I will actually start doing the Agents Attempts to revolt in the Spring, when it would make the most sense to cause chaos. And I will change the post to fix the direction of your army.
