399 A.D: A Time of Dying Empires [OOC, Open, once again.]

[Kazarogkai]

Got a post up and its not great but I was lacking information on how the number and what type of defenses would be in place on the ERE side of the Danube River. Another question I have is what would be the number of the Veraxian Host?

Host meaning your standing army?

ok, I am cool with that, Call my main unit Jax Braves, to help you out I can make a unit sheet of sort and you can edit if you wish

Jaxfolk:
Jax Braves:
Shock: 2
Fire: 4
Morale: 4

Mounted Scouts:
Shock: 2
Fire: 1
Morale: 4

Fine, I'll change the name.

I adore you for your generosity

Yes I will post on the thread tomorrow, possibly twice

[New Aksarben]

how do we know how large our military is? and how do we know how many provinces we can control without overextension?

The IC Original post. The "Government Tiers" section tells you how many provinces you can have without overextending. However, some leaders, with an administration skill of over 5 (6+) can add an additional province to their overextension limit. For instance, a leader with Admin 8, and eight provinces, will be, originally, four provinces overextended. However, his admin skill is three points over five. Therefore, he adds three provinces to his limit, so his limit would be seven, rather than four, leaving him not as overextended as before.

Units can be created as a standing army by the thousands by each point of administrative skill your leader has, simulating the tax collection:standing army ratio. So, if your leader has 5 admin, he can have an army of five thousand units. Empires are the exception to this rule, and they can have up to three times the amount of troops as their leader's administrative skill.

Where are the NPCs? There are no NPCs. NPC territory, unless I say otherwise, is unconquerable. I assume you are talking about Wales? Since you are trying to get a foothold in Britannia, I will allow you to "Inherit" the Welsh provinces, through whatever means you see fit, so long as it makes sense and isn't "They gave me their land lol". They still count towards your overextension limit however.

OKAY. BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER. NATIONS MUST DEFINE WHERE THEIR STANDING ARMIES ARE.

So if my leader's administration skill is 5 or 6 I think then that mean's I have 5 or 6 thousand units? So how many units am I facing at the Danube River?

A small contingent. The larger Comitenses is coming. Arcadius' skills are weak in everything but Diplomacy (Mil: 3 Admin: 2), so there's really only six thousand standing Comitenses and Early Cataphractii standing in your way. Arcadius, as he would historically, would most likely try to talk it out rather than duke it out.

so I can have 4 provinces and not be overextended. and I have 5,000 soldiers. what about irregular troops? there was such a thing as people who were temporarily conscripted for a campaign.

Sorry for the barrage of questions but I just have one more question then I try to quit asking anymore at least for now, I'm in the process of migrating but my people haven't crossed the river yet I would rather they do that once the river is secured and everything but how many people exist within the now on the move Veraxian Nation?

Irregular troops are considered part of the 5,000. Unless you are migrating, you do not get more troops than administrative skill.

I don't know? However many are migrating I guess.

ok I just wanted to clear that up.

[Ralnis]

So my leaders Admin is 8 and his Mil is 3 so it will be about 8000 troops?

[Aeken]

~300 are in Thames, so I'd say the rest is at Saxony.

Every Veraxian man, woman, and child they are tired of living in piss poor lands and are migrating to the land that is rightfully theirs through war and glory.

Yeah. xD But if you go up against, say, The Picts? or the Norsemen? It'd be like 1943 in Russia, and you're the Soviets.

Then your entire population.

[New Aksarben]

How do we know what our population is?

[Transoxthraxia]

How do we know what our population is?

Why does it matter?

Then you know how many people you are taxing, defending, how many mouths you have to feed, workers and warriors, the list goes on.
