The Legends of Middle-Earth: The Third Age [OOC|Open]

[Weltmachtistan]

Rohan will defend Dunland

So you kick them out if their land, then defend them?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Nah, I'm getting rid of the iron in my post anyway. Btw, The Hobbits only got The Westmarch after the War of The Ring, King Aragorn gifted it to them. Still, you're OP. I'll go ahead and do my post about taking The Westmarch because it's half done anyway, but you don't have to give me any resources for taking it.

Oh, I'm aware of the canon. I'm just looking at the map

[Soviet Ruk-Tsan]

Lol, fair enough. The Westmarch is a pretty small area.



Breeland, however......

Knock yourself out!

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

For IC purposes, is a month 28 days?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Indeed sirrah.

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

Indeed sirrah.

Most auspicious. So my Olog-Hai will be finished on Week Eight, Day Three.
And outfitted with steel, as will the rest of the army.
Trollololololol. Quite literally.

[Equalsun Empire]

Is anyone Lindon? I want to go befriend the Elves.

[Soviet Ruk-Tsan]

Just so no one raises concerns, all my current troops and the Dwarves to arrive will be under my Relaxed Citizens special bonus, so their upkeep is free.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Is anyone Lindon? I want to go befriend the Elves.

Do you still remember the forces opposing you in 1? Btw, you can make up a name for it.

No, I don't... It's name is Forochel.

[Konariona]

Cool- all my forces should be done now, right G-Tech?
Oh, also, update the Spark thread

[G-Tech Corporation]

Offhand, yes. How many troops under strength 50 did you recruit?

In a few hours. Sleep first.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Offhand, yes. How many troops under strength 50 did you recruit?

In a few hours. Sleep first.

1000. I also recruited 500 troops at Str 40 and 250 riders at Str 50.

Yep, you're good. That's only 5 weeks worth of recruitment, and I think you started around week 2 yes?

Yea, around there.

[Danhanjeedh]

[Konariona]

It's a case by case thing.

[Danhanjeedh]

how much does each upgrade actually improve in strenght? its nowhere stated.

It's a case by case thing.

In that case, with how much are my troops improved? (100 Dwarven axemen,swordsmen,archers.spearmen with Steel and 100 Guards of Khazad-dûm with Mithril)

Training Units

Standard Infantry Units/Machines/Ships
500 under 26 base Strength can be trained in 1 week.
500 under 51 base Strength can be trained in two weeks.
500 under 72 base Strength can be trained in three weeks.
500 under 101 base Strength can be trained in a month.
100 over base Strength 100 can be trained in a month.

Trolls
40 under 601 base Strength can be trained in two weeks.
40 over base Strength 600 can be trained in one month.

Mumakil
50 of Strength 1000 can be trained in a month.

Retraining
Combat units reduced in numbers due to casualties can be retrained at the same rates as above alongside new recruitment.

Splitting Training Times
If a person wants to train, say, 250 Strength 50 units, it can be done in only 1 week.

Resource Upgrades
Upgrades can be made every two weeks.

Resource Gained = Resources Spent
+50 Food = 30 Wood
+50 Wood=30 Iron
+50 Stone=30 Iron
+50 Iron=20 Iron & 10 Stone
+50 Copper=30 Stone
+50 Steel =20 Iron & 10 Copper
+50 Gold =10 Iron & 10 Steel & 10% Copper
+50 Mithril=10 Stone & 40 Steel
+50 Salt=30 Food

Unit Upkeep Costs

Figures are given per unit of Resource. In effect, maintaining/training the amount mentioned of the specific unit costs 1 unit of the resource. The U symbol after the amount of soldiers denotes an upgrade to the unit, not their base upkeep costs.

Example: When recruiting say, 5000 men, taking food and iron to make, and upgraded with steel and gold, a player consults the upkeep table. Since he has 5000 men, he looks at the food requirements. As every unit of food feeds 2500 men, he will need two units of food to feed his men. He then looks at Iron- he has 5000 men, and it takes 1 Iron to sustain 5000 men, so he only needs 1 unit of Iron to support his men. He then assesses his upgrade costs; only 3000 men can be upgraded with 1 Steel, so he needs 2 units of Steel to fully upgrade his 5000 men with Steel. Finally, every 1000 men needs 1 unit of Gold to upgrade, so he will need 5 units of Gold. So his total costs to support his five thousand upgraded men are: 2 Food, 1 Iron, 2 Steel, and 5 Gold. If he has these resources, he can recruit the men and continue to pay their upkeep for as long as he wishes.

For Goblins:
7500/Food

For Men:

Machines
Siege Weapons are 25 per 1 Wood, with upgrades at 10 per 1 Copper/Iron and 5 per Steel/mithril
Ships are 5 per 1 Wood, with upgrades at 2 per 1 Copper/Iron and 1 per Steel/Mithril

Fortress Upkeep Costs

Fortresses may be constructed in any player-owned region, and when constructed must choose one of two base materials:

Wood, which gives a +10% defense bonus to armies in the region. This requires 15 units of Wood.
or
Stone, which gives a +40% defense bonus to armies in the region. This requires 20 units of Stone.
A player can decide to switch the base material of a fortress at any time, as long as they have the required base material, but the Fortress is considered "under construction" for a week, and provides no bonus in that time period.

Fortresses may also be upgraded, regardless of their base material, by any combination of the following materials for additional bonuses.

Iron, which gives an additional 30% bonus. This requires 10 units of Iron.
and/or
Copper, which gives an additional 30% bonus. This requires 10 units of Copper.
and/or
Steel, which gives an additional 45% bonus. This requires 10 units of Steel.
and/or
Mithril, which gives an additonal 60% bonus. This requires 10 units of Mithril.

Any fortress may only receive each upgrade once, and (unless a regions starts with multiple fortresses) only one fortress may be constructed per region. Thus, the maximum defense bonus available for a region is a 205% defense bonus, a tripling of the strength of a defending army, with non-Dwarven factions maxing out at 145%.

Unit Veterancy
When a unit participates in a battle all it's units gain experience based on the outcome of the battle.

A victory increases their strength by 15%.
An inconclusive battle increases their strength by 10%.
A loss increases their strength by only 5%.

It doesn't says how many strenght my troops get from upgrading them with Steel/Mithril

No, I don't... It's name is Forochel.

Nice name, didn't that come from the Silmarillion?

There are 300 Men of Arnor defending it, strength 55. You can recruit them once you take it, they take food and iron.

Huh, that doesn't. Have you checked the OP recently?
