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

[Ralnis]

The Nambiri declared war on the Zawbarites.

Alright. Will organize an IC battle system after I read through the relevent posts.

Also no just "reforming" your Pagan gods. Your Great Prophet is there to turn religious understanding upside down. I believe Trans laid that out awhile back.

Ahh, ok, then lets just see if I get that last Great Prophet to see what happens, I would probably make a Parthenon or maybe something else that the Isim are not known to do( yes, having a polytheism or ancestor worship in the eyes of the Isim will make the Watcher just a man like he is meant to be and will make a new religion to unify the people) but if I don't then I will adopt your religion because it is the only one around that can be adopted that is close to the Watcher and it is close by.

Well........... People are starting to troll our poll. At last semi-regulated count there were like one or two more for no then there were for yes. Now there are about 7 people that aren't participating that put up an answer on the poll.

[Ralnis]

Where are you?

Where am I? Well, I'm in the North, North-east Italy in fact. I'm purple on the map and own the purple areas.

Ahh, ok. You are the one that is going to have to fight for Venice?

That usually happens with polls around here.

Yep. There are twenty votes on the poll, and nowhere near that many people currently in the RP. Either someone is puppetspamming or people who aren't participating are voting.

Yep. I currently own it though. Can't answer any more questions, I'm off to bed.

It could be both, who knows.

Alright, battle thread is set up. Utce, I apologize if it seems unfair, but for a people who just got ships with 0 naval tradition, and inferior technology, plus the simple logistics of naval invasions at the time, really puts limits on how much you could realistically get to the island.

This is going to be a hard match for Utce, but it is going to be an interesting one to read, time to get the popcorn and lawn chair and watch Ultimate Warrior, Alternate History style.

I made an IC post

I made an IC post

South of you... means you where actually on my grounds and have met me inevitably.

[Al Meajilia]

I'm going to post in the battle thread a few hours later since I have exams starting in the next hour.

What? I didn't think Corsica was claimed?

It isn't. Or wasn't.

Oh, I though you had Corsica and started to march on Sardinia, never mind.

Isn't EA 100 years per turn?

[Utceforp]

I'm really relying on having a higher number of troops, since the Zawbara have a tech advantage, but I'm larger than them, based in the fertile Tigris-Euphrates region rather than the mostly desert Arabian peninsula, and the Zawbara have just been hit by plagues, so I assume my population, and thus my military, will be larger, even with the heavy losses due to the Nambiri not really knowing how to use the boats they just got. Of course, just Zerg-rushing them is a great way to die of disease, starvation from overuse of land, and being picked off at choke points, but I guess managing large armies intelligently is what my new level 5 Military ruler is for.

Speaking of which, tracking population is a bit of an Achilles heel for me in these types of RPs. Realistically, how many soldiers do you think Nambirithen could muster, and how many could make it to the Zawbarite islands?

[Ralnis]

Yes, Late and/or Mid Antiquity are 50 yrs/per turn.

Well, part of is is you need the boats in the first place: you more or less have to abandon them if you want your rowers to turn into soldiers, which you'll basically have to do, and even if you don't they're easy picking for the Zawbarite navy. And you can only build the boats so fast. I'd say 8,000 men is fair.

I go with what Trans put as the length of the age in the first post. If he corrects himself, I'll duelly correct mine

Yeah, we need to correct it. I've been super disorganized as of late; and I sincerely apologize for that.

And there goes my hope of having twelve each.

Basic sailing
Advanced sailing
Alphabet
Writing
The Wheel
Animal husbandry


So these are the ones I choose.

Bireme
Trireme
Early science
Early mathematics
Advanced construction
Practical iron working

Um... you're missing some prerequisites on that list there. How do you get to Iron Working without Bronze Working, or Advanced Construction without Masonry? Or the Trireme without Organized Fishing, which in turn requires a Calendar.

[The Nation of Hay]

Just edited my IC post, as it turns out I had the wrong date

[Ralnis]

What is classified as a civilized civilization?

Bw and masonry I will research. Meanwhile the Trireme is connected to the bireme so yea.
