Civilization - An Epic Tale - [OOC/OPEN FOR L.A]

[Transoxthraxia]

Heh. I can't really give myself all the credit, either. I'm just happy I was able to make people (theoretically) go to war with each other. Which, in my opinion, rarely happens in these RPs.

Speaking of which, I was wondering... I'm not really planning to, since it would lead to mass revolts in my eastern province and I would probably lose, but theoretically, if I were go on the offensive against the Persians or Medians, how would I do that? Or even the Zawbara, though that seems unlikely.

You can do so. Notify either myself or Granadeseret and we'll RP against you.

[Transoxthraxia]

Nation name: Excalaer
Type of government: Tribal Monarchy (Unciv)
Leader's name: Otto Uf Yaenk
Leader's statistics: Military: 4 Diplomatic: 1 Administrative: 4
Name of Culture, Language, and a brief description: The Excalaer are an intensely independent and tribal people. They are split into two main tribes, or "Ufs," Yaenk and Hael, who trade the kingship off between the two of them whenever a king appears weak. Under these two main tribes are innumerable sub-tribes or "Sufs," who, again, often war among themselves, and mostly consist of people who think themselves close, such as a group of related villages. Under these Sufs are the individual villages themselves, and this basic level is where every leader calls upon when he calls the tribe of the Excalaer to bring to him their menfolk for a war. Any level of these people can refuse the call to war, but the lose the right to whatever is gained in the war be it booty or land, and will often draw the ire of the tribes that did participate in the war, which is never a good thing. The language of the Excalaer is similar to what we would call proto-German, but lacks several sounds, most notably "J" and "Q" while also gaining the sound "ae." Sentance structure is free, meaning as long as a verb and noun are in the sentence, it works and can be understood by a speaker of Excalaer.
National Symbol: A bloodied sword, the color Blue.
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: The world spirit created everything. After this event, the world spirit broke into four beings, Yan and Han who managed the light, and Fuer and Fenofi, who managed the night. All four made the people of the world, who contained a piece of all of the gods. They also blessed those who prayed to them, helping their chosen in war. Eventually, both couples back one of the two tribes of the Excalaer, Yan and Han backing Yaenk, and Fuer and Fenofi backing Hael, and their godly conflicts are played out on Earth, in the form of the two tribes on Earth jockeying for power and influence.
Map Claims: Central France, around Paris.
12 Starting Techs: Mining to Iron Military Applications (5), Alphabet, Masonry, Archery, Animal Husbandry, Organized Hunting, Domestication of the Horse, The Wheel

Accepted, thank you.

Alright. I realize that the Early Antiquity has started a bit early, but that's alright. Just an extra two turns for Early Antiquity.

I may just expand around Venice and call it the Venetian Empire. But then I may come in conflict with the Greeks AND western Italians later on.

I might just fight you for Venice in a few turns. Berezebel's a lot closer and a lot more unified than the Greeks in this TL.

EDIT: Just realised one of my provinces is missing on the map. This one.

Do it!

Agreed, we've only had one PvP war, and that one was forced and used as a means to an end for me.

I was kind of thinking of going east a couple of provinces to Belgrade first, but a Race For Istria has potential. We're pretty evenly matched, I think. And culturally speaking it will be rather Greeks vs Persians.

Also, from my edit above:

Is the EA IC up yet?

Also, I want Venice too :3

Yep. I should link it.

Fixing now.

Yey, much bueno!

[Transoxthraxia]

It's in the OP now.

Three-way war for Venice? Sounds kinky, I like it.

So, how much time does it take to conquer a province?

In Early Antiquity you can conquer two per turn as a civilized nation, and three if you're uncivilized. Since you're civilized, you can conquer two. However, assimilating it may take longer, especially if your leader has lower skills.

Hm, alright.

Hm, alright.

With your leader, it takes two turns.

[The Nation of Hay]

Sweet

[The Nation of Hay]

Hm, how difficult would it be to conquer a province with a military of 1?

EDIT: And what about settlement / colonization? Also, how far away can I conquer a province?

Oh, that's good to know, it'll help me considerably cleaning up my borders or just conquering in general. Also, should your leader's Mil score affect the amount of provinces they can conquer, like their Admin score affects how fast they assimilate other cultures?

It will begin to starting Late Antiquity.

Because I'm impatient, good sirrah

Do I just copy my post over to the new IC?

It has to be touching you, (you can, however, conquer one province that touches you, and then another province that only touches your conquered province, all in the same turn. or a coastal one a reasonable distance away. (i.e don't conquer Cherson if you're in Spain)

Hmm, could I conquer Gibraltar from Corsica?
