Ireland is not united - I suggest you be Munster

[Alouite]

Nation name: Sultanate of Morroco(Look at the map first)
Ruler: Fazid I (Give your ruler a realistic name)

Population: 5,000,000(Be realistic)
Military Numbers: 100,000 (No more than 5% of population)
Main focus: MAKING huge morroco (at start)

I doubt Morocco could have 100,000 with a pop of 5 million. 30-40,000 would be more along the lines.

Accepted.

Ehm, may I just add the population of ALL of Ireland was just below 2 mil. in 1500, so 11 mil. is highly unrealistic. Also, considering you have to choose on of the tribes (Listed in numbers), and you can't claim all of Ireland (At least I think), your pop would probably be realistically for that period at about 150-300k.

Ireland is a failed cause. There are 100,000 English troops marching through Ireland so I wouldn't dare be them. Even uniting Ireland couldn't beat me.

[Cin Neogh]

Be them. There is already English soldiers in your land.

Youre thinking of Leinster

[Alouite]

Nope Leinster is on the western side of Ireland

The map is wrong.

Alouite we checked history and Wikipedia. And I am talking about the Munster in the center but they are all wrong.

100,000 men is a number the English have never ever been able to bring together before well into the 19th century. In 1685, there were 65,000 English soldiers and this put such a pressure on the treasury that the parliament decided to cut army spending by almost half (!). In other words, your 100,000 men are armed with sticks and stones and they have to provide for their own uniforms.

Using such numbers to invade a small country such as Ireland would lead to a military catastrophe because of mutiny and inability to feed and pay your soldiers.

P.S. I am aware of the fact that I might sound a bit nit-picky, but I just want to encourage realism! RP's are not about who wins, but about producing epic stories. Losing can be epic as well as winning, keep that in mind.

Well then I have a problem. I have 2 posts that revolve around this where I have around 265,000 soldiers and cannons. Anyone wanna trade so we can raise more money? I GOT IT! We will just over tax the Irish that always works! I am kidding but really we need money NOW! Also I am going to find a reason why I can have that many and at least pitch forks and longbows.

[Ukraine Republic]

Alouite i changed the letter before you posted to make it a letter to England so :l.

[Epraria]

I'm kinda sad you just ignored my letter Ukraine.

[Ukraine Republic]

I was asleep and i lost alot of stuff sorry. I wasn't looking through all the pages to see it.

[Nuverikstan]

I was about to receive that letter. I NEED MONEY! Well actually, what resources do I have in England at this time? I want to keep my many men but........... I got it! They are conscripts and they just joined the army! we will pull the number down if we have to but we will send many of the men home after the war.

[Nuverikstan]

I'm kinda sad you just ignored my letter Ukraine.

Epraria do you know of any way I can keep my many men?

[Ukraine Republic]

i responded to the letter.

Not at all, Great Point! England will need to halve it's invading force and secure supply lines in Meath before launching a full out invasion. Otherwise, it will suffer the most brutal military failure of all time.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

What do you mean marching to Ireland? Nuz, no wars yet.

[Cin Neogh]

Sent a messenger to everyone ICly, so either respond or don't .. it's your choice .. I'm no cop
