Blood and Bayonets: An Alt-History RP [OOC|OPEN]

[Fortunagen]

Yeah, so it's no big deal, what's more important is finding out what nations supports what nations now, as I'm still not sure with Sparta or Sweden.

[The Blazing Aura]

who supports them or who they support?

[Lunas Legion]

The Hansa supports everyone.

[Fortunagen]

who supports them or who they support?

Who they support, because I kind of have a system where if you want to support me, I'll support you going on.

[The Blazing Aura]

I don't keep track of whom other nations support but I know Sparta supports the UHS (me) at least.

[Halleon]

Yeah, so it's no big deal, what's more important is finding out what nations supports what nations now, as I'm still not sure with Sparta or Sweden.

Gonna be honest I think Sparta IC wise will just try to stay neutral over who they supported and Sweden not to sure. There should at least be one Monarchy out there that is somewhat weary that a revolution in the name of freedom almost disposed a Monarchy and caused a country to split in two considering the revolution ideals and methods could spread throughout Europe or anywhere else in the World.

At least that's what I'm thinking.

[Halleon]

Are we talking about IC support or OOC support?

[Fortunagen]

Are we talking about IC support or OOC support?

IC, OOC I support all of you guys, I mean, we are just here for fun and all.

[Halleon]

Wednesday or Thursday I'm going out of town with some friends and won't be back till Sunday. If a war breaks out then I'm thinking everyone could act like France is neutral till I get back or Khervo can rp as a General or something encase France is attacked. Plans might change but just encase thought I would mention this.

If war does break out, I won't attack France while you are gone.

Thanks and I hopefully I don't return to a conquered France.

I keep seeing that so and so supported the rebels in the Revolution but it seems like we are just guessing at who actually supported who. So to avoid confusion is it possible to come up with a list of actual countries ((players)) that would have supported the revolution?

We were in turmoil when it occurred

Prussia would have supported the Revolution. The Kaiser takes pride in being an Absolute Monarch rather than an Aristocratic one, and holds a grudge against the established European monarchies that want to maintain the old status quo. Plus, Germany will jump at any opportunity to weaken their old rivals in France. And don't worry, if North and South go to war again, I'll wait till you're back before I take a side.

Right now, though, I'm still busy calming the repercussions from accidentally invading a non-NPC country. Can I get a count of who's considering supporting Transdanubia? If there's a big risk that this war will escalate into the massive trans-European conflict we've been dreading, then I'll probably withdraw and save myself from having to fight a war on four fronts. Otherwise, I'll claim a small strip of land along the border and defend it until the Hungarians get tired of fighting.

[Blassland]

All I could think of is a Persian trade port, of course if there is war, then all Dvipantaran exports (like the ever so popular spices) to Europe will stop until the Persian aggression ended, and perhaps give the Europeans price cuts on spices to join in the war. After all, the first reason why Europe went to a colonizing spree was because of spices, from Columbus to Magellan.

Hey, sign an alliance with me quickly and then I can stop Blassland from doing too much damage by taking him on in his home territory, I'm already on war-footing cos of my expansions in Africa, and that's not using up all of the force I have (for example Fifth Army, 50,000 Professional Soldiers are waiting round in reserve along with 15 or so militia of 20,000 each), that's a bigger army on it's own than Persia wartime army.

seriously though, Blassland stop threatening Kershya, it's his land per his accepted application, thereby he has more right than you to it. Just accept that and look elsewhere for colonization opportunities, like Australia say.

Your readiness to violate the non-aggression pact and devastate all of Asia minor is alarming, every day we grow stronger while you fool around in Africa.
We are in striking distance of their nation, they are not in striking distance of ours. If you do declare war then your nation will be horribly devastated regardless of who wins. We are supported by Occitania and Prussia militarily. If you do violate the non-aggression pact only a fraction of our forces are unable to immediately strike at Baghdad and Kuwait (Kuwait City was simply Kuwait before independence). The industrialization of the southern Caucuses and northern Persia will be complete in a year`s time. If you truly wish to betray us then do it quickly and show all the world that you are not to be trusted, you have no ability to occupy more than the border region, the longer the war will go the stronger we will become.

Please think twice before attacking a human-player nation. I invaded Transdanubia by accident, and it's not a fun experience at all. You'll lose a lot of soldiers, especially if the enemy has the advantage of being on the defensive. And the rest of the countries will start thinking of you as a threat rather than a potential ally.

I have an RP solution to the current problem (not war)
I am mostly alarmed by Blazing Aura`s readiness to betray me. Large scale conscriptions immediately!

[Blassland]

@Blassland: I cannot sign a treaty to allow Hindu people access to Hindustan, as I am not playing as Hindustan. Also, we already have a free trade agreement.

@Kershya: Awesome. I'll get around to writing a reply soon-ish (I am dreading writing an account of the conquest of all of those territories my army has conquered in the last 3 in-game months.)

addressed it to the wrong nation, not a good mistake, gonna edit it

I worked it into my app but didn't go into a lot of details since not much was mentioned about the revolution. The current leader Charlemagne forced his father Francis II to abdicate and Charlemagne doesn't rule like a Tyrant, he has given rights to the people and made reforms so can't really say Charlemagne is maintaining the old status qou. Also in my personal opinion not trying to argue but ruling as a Absolute Monarch is the same as a Aristocratic one.

I'm backing up Transdanubia completely and am willing to back him up in war against Prussia and the rest of your allies if needed. Some of us aren't dreading the massive European Conflict since some of us want it to happen. Since Germany is so quick to launch at striking at France I'm just gonna return the favor.

a) I wasn't being serious with the first paragraph, what I said about the military numbers is true, but I wouldn't actually break the non-aggression pact unless you did something drastically wrong. b) Border forts are called border forts for a reason, besides I could still defend the cities if need be. c) those cities each have their own militia, that's a force of 20,000 stationed in their region before you even start to add reinforcements, and because I'm on the defensive I have the upper hand. d) You're not the only person who's getting areas industrialized, I already have areas of industry else how would I be able to have such a large armed professional and conscription force, you can't get over a million muskets through trade alone. e) this is all hypothetical, the paragraph you're basing this on is one in which I'm not being entirely serious, hell I'm known for not being entirely serious. f) I have the ability to occupy as much land as I could, once again you're trying to make up my limits for me, something you can't reasonably do. g) if you're pulling more men into the fight who's going to be running the factories you need to run to get stronger? h) I'll also be stronger, once again you're not the only person advancing in this RP. i) you're assuming that if I did invade I'd do so down south, as you've pointed out you're more important areas (including your capital and main industrialized area) is in Northern Iran and the Southern Caucuses, yet another place near my border that I could take, if I did that's leave you broken and beaten without a leader, you on the other hand have to march through a lot of desert to get near my capital city and in that time I could call back a lot of forces to defend it. You're at a lot more of a disadvantage than me in this one,

But I will once again stress that that first paragraph wasn't me being entirely serious, I do want to open up communications with Kershya, and what I said about military numbers is true if you read you're app your max at wartime is 48,000 my max at peacetime is 50,000. I don't want to be seen as threatening you but I am asking you to stand down from your claims of occupied land that you're sole reason for claiming is little more than not understanding that if someone applied for that land it is their's never mind if you sent an army towards it or not.
Oh and FYI I'm not fooling around in Africa, no more than you are, I'm not only expanding my land into more temperate and richer climates I'm also gaining land which once taken and fortified will mean that the Red Sea and thereby my main anchor point is nigh on impenetrable, whilst both places you can anchor your fleet are still open to attack.

oh and need I remind you that massing forces near my border is a breach of our non-aggression pact.

I got a crappy colony post up and expect it to be edited. Wasn't sure exactly how many colonist would be reasonable so didn't include numbers. The small out post along the coast are nothing major they are just out post with the main focus of the first colony being in Virginia. I'm thinking the out post begin along the coast of Virginia and end in somewhere along the coast of Georgia or South Carolina.

[Carbarosia]

Kherkov, may I ask: why does Sparta hate Spain so much and what would I have to do to come on good terms with them?

Isabella isn't a warmonger, she simply wants to expand trading and make it easier to trade internationally.

I'm landing at the site of New Orleans.

At some point, I will host a 'London Conference' style event to control the scramble for America.

Give me Hispaniola, leave the Caribbean to me, and don't try and expand into North America.

[The Blazing Aura]

Britcan, could you update the map, I've expanded into the four kingdoms that roughly make up South Sudan (or to be more precise the four kingdoms to the south of Sudan)

I guess I will show up as the Ethiopia-expy, using European guns to stop European aggressive European expansion near me.
