Alright, my posts are coming up.

What do you think of my idea Transox?

[The United Soviet Socialist Republic]

Alright, my posts are coming up.

And after the battle(s), we can switch Empires?

Sure.

I just had an idea. maybe each province(regardless of owner) gets 500 defenders as a garrison. The administration only counts for standing army and those garrisons are just the inhabitants that have little military training but are more like a militia. It would not only make it fairer, but give a way to show temporary conscription of peasants to fight off enemies.


You could temporarily raise the garrison, at the cost of leaving provinces completely undefended, but you get another five hundred troops, at least for a while.


Good idea? or not?

It's a start, yeah.

It's a start, yeah.

I thought it would help solve some disputes over being able to raise more troops(temporarily) than they should while not migrating. Usually only to defend though.

sounds cool to me, only problem is that I only have a single province and my army is already a call up army(I can call in any man in the country to fight in my banner in times of crises pretty much) so this would be sorta worthless for me.

I kinda need direction on how to advance the Government Tier I got two post up about Improving my Kingdom but I have no ideal how to actually advance on the Government Tier.

Yea I wanna do the same but i dunno how.

Like the Romans losing the Punic Wars?

Imagine a senator pondering the death of Ceaser and he thinks to much on the issue then he chickens out ruining the assassination that killed the Dictator, Rome could have stayed a Republic and never became a Empire. The Punic Wars is a good example though.

ceasar was a dictator so probably would of turned it into a shadow empire basically. It would be a de jure Republic De Facto Monarchy. His death would not have made much difference.

You really don't need it. Its more to even fighting between uncivs and civs.


also typing up a post in the main IC thread. and creating a military rank system so I can use titles.

Im about to call a tribal moot so I can go up a tier becuase I have ten provineces and I should have atleast one war over with so then I can have peace.

[Transoxthraxia]

If you are not at war, have no impending rebellions, have a strong enough administration (2+ for Tier 1-2, 3+ for 2-3, etc...) then you can.

Also, Kona, I'll need your help.

Thirdly, USSR, your troops aren't at all discouraged/inimidated knowing that there are eighteen thousand barbarians waiting to fight them, willing to attack them with tooth and claw, to the last man? Knowing that there would be a near endless horde of pelt-covered, Deer-head wearing barbarians prepared to die before retreating? It'll be a thermopylae all over again, except you don't have as much of an advantage as the Greeks did. This will be fun.

Oh, they aren't demoralized because they all get free drugs in exchange for fighting hard.

His death had a big impact on Rome if you think otherwise your seriously wrong, the Empire would not have started without his Death the First Roman Emperor was his step son who avenged his step fathers death etc. So a man's death was the birth of a Empire, Julius Caesar was a dictator yes but he would have not named himself King due to the hatred most Romans held of a Rex returning to power in Rome. Rome would have taken a totally different course then it did in history that much should be common sense it would not be a shadow of a Empire since that Empire would have never existed without Caesars death.

If you aren't joking this is godmodding.

Did you actually think I was serious?

I'm somewhat more experienced dealing with... less experienced RPers.

Never once in any of my dozens of RPs have I ever heard someone say their troops are happy because they get free drugs.

You clearly haven't experienced Hellraiser Army then.

I withdrew because he was there. He frustrates me to no end, and then complains that others are Godmodding. No thanks.
