The Kingdom of Tych (World Builder/Fantasy/Open)

[Drakorvanyia]

This is a CK2 moment, I feel. A revolt and a war happening at the same time. <.> Darn you and your impeccable scheming!

Mate, I just hit 1070 from the Charlemage starting scenario starting as the Thessalonican Byzantine Duke, Holy-Warred the Empire of Carpathia and most of the Balkans, had to 'fix' my successors through Elective Monarchies, assassinate an average of two pretenders per reign.... Welcome to the Cotalli Reign, where the Bastard son shall return as an Adventurer to invade your lands within 2 years weeks, WEEKS!!

I'm currently in my Charlemagne start in Curonia. I managed to actually reform my faith and bring forth a beautiful Wendish Lithuanian Empire. I currently own all the de jure of it save for a province in southern Pomerania. I also rid my realm of the filthy Slavic pagans and am working towards creeping my land into Saxony which is just riddled with rebels. And, those adventurer threats? I hope they're not prone to accidents.

The long suffering people of the city awarded him with many honorifics, eventually supporting his takeover from the previous family. they attached the honorific -Jar to the end of his name and gave him his throne. The house eventually grew to control all of Valgarde (the island that they are on). The house bent the knee when the Tych kings came to their island, deciding to put away their black iron crown and wait for the proper moment to rise up and strike the king from their islands

Code 257: do not remove I use this to find apps.

[Kanilion]

^ quite an effort, is applaud even tho the first page says no House apps. you'd have to be a relatively minor house to avoid the current chaos which would engulf the Kingdom/Empire

[New Finnish Republic]

I probably won't get a post up until later tonight when I get back from practice, probabably will start at 7pm Central Time. Sorry for the wait.

[Kanilion]

I'm closing the lid on the Mercenaries now. After the employment of the Steppe ones, there will only be 5,000 mercenaries left. Reason being, Mercs have been employed by three different factions before - Sharp took a few, Moruzzo took in a large group, Oliver took in a mega-group. Since Mercenaries are known as fighting men for hire in the past, apart from retinue troops they were the only ones who could fight. In a peaceful Kingdom, other than the occasional bandit who can multi as a merc, there would not be much reason for so many mercs to exist unless inter-House fighting happens on a yearly basis

Will try and answer you later tonight. Just finished a VERY full day.

[Relikai]

Haha aye its the busy season

[Karsopolis]

The Party vs. La Fu. I like where this is going.

Aint wanting to be an ass but creds to Straus to tossing me command of Oliver's forces to cook up this storyline

How long do you want the mix of Cedric + Albercio + Edward vs Lafu wanna last ? I'm thinking about 2-3 posts per person, and ya'll can TG me any unique fighting styles so when I post I can throw in some char play from your different perspectives.

Btw, is Cedric in all his armour able to get up after being knocked down?

I'd say yes. He's been a Knight Enforcer for years, and he practically lives in the armour (minus the helmet, which is reserved for combat), night and day. Plus he has the exercise regimen of an elite knight. I'd definitely say he can get up. Between acclimation to the constant weight plus physical training, I'd guess Cedric could move quite well. Probably quite agile for someone of his size and mass.

Good. It'll be boring to have someone in plate just lying there like a turtle.

But in that case the structure of the armour would be chained at the joints, so they'll be more vulnerable to slashing and piercing attacks, that okay?

Sure, as long as the chain is heavy to match the rest of the armour.

You boys have some fun, while Haruna 'tries not to get hurt'

[New Finnish Republic]

Just as a heads up, won't probably be able to post today until later today with Guard duty. At most if I have time I'll try and get a short post in. Same with tomorrow.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Wonder if I can let the mage use app al his magic to warm himself in the cold north and then I can lure him into a trap with some warm fires and "Glühwein"?

Warming up the temperature near oneself isn't very hard, and not all to tricky even for a wizard (at least for a short amount of time), so that won't have very much effect on someone of Crego's power, and more powerful mages tend not to drink since they're more accident prone. For when making an attempt at killing him, the two things you'll need is the element of surprise and pulling off a one hit kill, and either instantaneous or fast enough death that he won't be able to react fast enough to self heal (since healing's one of his main things). Actually I have an idea, since your lord of the north has magic you plan on having him discover at one point or another, why not have him make a completely unsuspected magic attack, freezing Crego solid. He won't be expecting a magical attack at all since he hasn't seen any of the skeletons use mqgic yet.

Well, the Skeletons can´t use magic except soon for the Skeleton Lord.
Maybe we can make it a unintentional attack so that even the Lord won`t expect himself to take care of Crego?

[New Finnish Republic]

Today has been a long day. Lots of running, getting yelled at, running because I'm getting yelled at, and then getting yelled at because I'm not running fast enough.

Anyways, I see there haven't been any posts today, so I guess I didn't miss out on much I'm waiting for Drak to post until I put my post up as well as a bit from Rel that I was asked to edit into my post. Won't be available for majority of tomorrow, once again, and at most expect me to get to sneak in a peak at my phone every once and awhile. I should be available later tomorrow in the later afternoon probably once drill's over. Hoping to see some posts when I get back

[Kanilion]

We tend to slow down on weekends, which is perfectly fine, as I'm assuming homework and work commitments do spill over as a norm of life hoping to kickstart the engine from the pitstop of the Mondays! (It's Sunday afternoon here zzzz time for some literal D&D lolol)

[Drakorvanyia]

Excuse the short and half-assed post. I'm on mobile, but I felt bad about not putting anything down. >.<

[New Finnish Republic]

So I got excused early today. I'll have a post up somewhat soon.

[Delmonte]

So, bit of an odd request. I've wanted to RP as a merchant company (of which there are plenty of examples in ancient/medieval history IRL) in one of these things for a long time. But the RP's always got aborted early or it wasn't allowed. Could I be accommodated in this RP? I see you guys are quite advanced, which is fine. Because it's not a huge deal if a merchant company has been particularly inactive during your machinations. At least not as odd as it would be for a noble house to be off sticking its thumb up its butt. I kind of just want to know what the over/under is on you being down to let me RP this idea in this RP before I go ahead and read the history and what-not.

Unfortunately I'm no the OP or Co-OP. But! I know that the city of Moruzzo had plenty of merchant companies in it. Had. It's dust now. But! That means that there should be no problem in you having a company of your own, and I personally would love to have you onboard. :3
