I thought we were pre-gunpowder?

[The Greater Gambia]

I thought we were pre-gunpowder?

We're rennaisance period. Guns are around, but not the main focus of war.

Eww well time to stay underwater

[Trotza]

The Sultanate will be looking for trade. Bring out ya merchants.

Have: Salt, Copper, Stone, Sulphur
Need: Timber, Grain, Iron

We can provide you with all three. As for what you are trading, we will need sulphur the most, in order to make gunpowder.

Well unless you send someone here you'll probably be the fourth nation we discover, after the western expedition makes it thorough the mountains (see IC posts if none of that makes sense). As for the trade, we'll probably not put all of our eggs in one basket, but I'm sure the Sultan would take it into consideration.

Indeed.

In this time period, only 25% of my army is equipped with muskets. Muskets have not yet become cheap to manufacture, so it would be too expensive to equip my entire army with guns.

As for the people that wanted to trade for my guns and cannons, I'm planning to send treasure ships across the world (basically, similar to this), conducting trade and bringing the riches back to the Empire.

Well it appears my Pirates will get more of the not needed currencies.

Good luck trying to take on these beasts.

My Pirate ships are made to ram into ships opening holes and allowing Orks to enter, through the ram. we also have Catapults, and they don't need to breath exactly (the Orks).

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Can I buy cannons for my people lol?

6 meters tall, solidly built.

I mean it does kinda say in the very first sentence of that page 16th through 18th century. A little advanced for our tech era.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Deramen, I think, I got folks coming your way soon

What's your nation called? Maybe we can reach a deal.

That is, if they can get close.

The Galleons would blow them out of the water with their cannons. And if they managed to board, the sailors will arm themselves with muskets and blunderbusses and shoot them.

@Trotza- Then I will just make them large carracks.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

I don't think I made it clear, my people are 6 meters tall. Any canons we buy will be used as muskets or hand cannons. I am Tetsuchikyu Teikoku.

So the crews will all be armed with gun's? even though earlier you said they wouldnt be widespread, kind of contradicting yourself arent you, besides who says the gun's would be able to deter hundreds of Orks?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Wouldn't thick hides underneath thick armor block early rounds?

[Vacif]

Because my navy sucks, I just have a shit tonne of explosive decoy ships.

I said 25% of my army was equipped with muskets. We are talking about my navy (which has far less personnel in it then the army).

And as I said earlier, to raid our ships, you would first have to avoid being blown out of the water by our cannons.

6 meters?!

Well my people are in for quite a shock when we meet you.

At this point, avoiding cannon fire isn't exactly hard. Low rate of fire, inaccurate, shit range

But when combined with 3 decks worth of canons....

Which would have been taken out earlier by the airial Warbeasts Dropping orks. Besides what makes your cannon's so good? I could just pull a Francis Bacon to take out your treasure fleets.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Wouldn't thick hides underneath thick armor block early rounds?

Yes. Not to mention nobody has an all-gun army yet. This is the age before "bulletproof" drops out of the dictionary for four hundred years.

This gives me another idea. If you get too close to our ships, I could have my sailors pour something similar to Greek fire onto your ships. This substance will even burn on water, so having the Orks jump into the water won't save them.

Also, on more dangerous voyages, I could deploy mages onto the ships, and they could use their powers to fend off the Orks.

[The Greater Gambia]

Alright Orson, what is a weakness of your ships?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Alright Orson, what is a weakness of your ships?

I wouldn't necessarily argue for a weakness to their ships. This is the age where some forms of warfare begin to show their age, whilst not yet dying out. If ships of the line weren't so effective then galleys would've still been popular outside the Mediterranean.

Rather, I would argue that his strengths aren't necessarily that great. Greek fire, while scary, wasn't necessarily a murder Jesus, perfect in every way. Mages certainly aren't that great either.

Basically this.

But greek fire was disallowed in the first one, for a time atleast. Also Orks have there own mages as well.
