The Last Airbender Factions: the Continual War (OOC)

[Yuzhou]

Alrighty.
Can I ask what exactly happened during the battle/Siege of the north by the Fire nation?

I've got it written out in the OP intro that one of the reasons the assault on the Northern Capital failed was because Zhao essentially disobeyed orders in order to pursue the moon spirit. Because the Avatar was never found, he wouldn't have gotten all the resources and promotions he did. So his attempt to kill the moon spirit, without the entire force behind him, lead to the destruction of his portion of soldiers and the dissolve of command structure during the assault.

Not sure if our OP wants to stick with that, though.

[Jaslandia]

OP, do you think we could add some air units to this RP? Not only would the Fire Nation likely have air balloons from the Mechanist, but I imagine the Northern Air Temple would also have some, though not as many as the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation may also have airships/zeppelins.

If I remember Sokka gave the idea to the mechanist about the Hot Air Balloon, but I can't remember.

The Mechanist came up with the basic idea, but Sokka suggested the lid mechanism that made the hot air balloon function. Still, hot air balloons aren't exactly a complex device, so I imagine the Mechanist could figure it out for himself in the span of about two years.

Faction: Kingdom of Si Wong
Leader: King Ce, General Gao Ho Pok
Population (Be realistic): Aprox. 230,000
Nation and Location: Si Wong Desert
Primary Bending Ability: Earthbending and Sand
Cultural Practices and History: The Si Wong Desert had always been the most difficult place to live in and even worse to control. The Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom had been vying for control for decades while fighting the various Sand Bender Tribes and trading with the neutral Beetle Merchants. The Desert finally was in the hands of the Fire Nation as they ambushed the Earth Kingdom general and his retinue which caused the rest of the army to break down and the Fire Nation occupied the Si Wong.

The Fire Nation held the Desert with some difficulty as they had to worry with attrition but two people rose to power in the land by helping secure alliances between Beetle Merchant nomads and Sand Bender Tribes. One was name Ce, a charismatic merchant who kept losing his goods to Fire Nation raids so he start to hire mercs to try and resist the Fire Nation. He hired an exile Sand Bender by the name of Gao Ho Pok to try and lift the occupation of the Misty Springs Oasis. The Battle for the Oasis was the first success and the making of Si Wong Rebellion.

The Rebellion spread as both of them made allies and enemies as Gao was brought back into his tribe and helped form an army that was able to fight against the tanks and soldiers that were coming in waves. The Fire Nation started to take notice as the Rebellion started to sink entire brigades of tanks and soldiers were being lost and more of the main army was coming to deal with the threat. The army tried to deal with the Rebellion but it was a stalemate until the Battle of Steel Plateau.

Gao and a few Sand Bender Tribes were able to push through enemy lines and managed to bend the sand sink large sections of the Fire Nation Army and managed to sink the general while the main army push forward to take advantage of the chaos.The victory against the Fire Nation liberated the Si Wong and helped lift the invasion of Ba Sing Se. Because of this, the Earth Kingdom allowed for the Si Wong Desert to become its own Kingdom under the watchful eye of the Earth Kingdom. While Gao was offered the crown, he didn't want it since he all the power he needed and his own private booths in drinking and gambling parlors he visits.

Within two years, the Kingdom had started to rise to regional power status as Desert culture evolved into two groups, strong sand bending tribes and beetle herding trading guilds. The Sand Benders have become militaristic as they were reformed the raiding tribes into an elite bending force as the trading along outposts and the three cities that had grown thanks to the reforms that had been happening across the desert and increase trading with local towns and Omashu.

Misty Springs Oasis is the capital and largest city in the Si Wong as it holds all of the trade that is ever going and coming through the Kingdom. Another city that was built was called Wei Qi. Wei Qi is known as the City of the Sand as it became home to the military and of the study of Sand Bending after Gao personally invest in it in order to spread Sand Bending. Because of the rise of cities and power, the people of the Si Wong have started to have doubts about the rule of Ba Sing Se and an independence movement had started to form while some believe that Ce should be instilled in Ba Sing Se to form a more unified Earth Kingdom.

Diplomatic Relations: The Kingdom trades with other Regional powers in the Earth Kingdom but there has been an air of hostility against Ba Sing Se for some time.
Infrastructure and Military:
( free stuff)
Misty Springs Oasis( City/Capital): 1 mining outpost, 1 guild, 1 grand temple, 1 housing center

Past RP Experience: was in Mass Effect: Delayed Harvest and others

Don't know what my pros and cons would be but I think one could be around lower cost of cavalry and maybe something else at the expanse of extra build cost or something?

Check your numbers again, they seem off.

I'm counting 234 income for the next two months, is that right?

Lets see,
18 for the city
30 for the 2 Mining Outposts
5 for the Guild
40 for 2 Forges
36 for 2 Housing Centers
81 for the 3 Mining Towns
40 for 2 forges
-5 for the Barraks
5 for Bending school

250 I believe.

How did you get 315?

Faction: 四海贸易市 - Si hai mao yi shi - Four Seas Trading City
Leader: Guildmaster Nanol Dokam
Population (Be realistic): 23,000 people
Nation and Location: Independent mix-benders, most eastern air nomad island at the southern air temple archipleago, at the western tip
Primary Bending Ability: Water

Cultural Practices and History: There isn't much to be said about Si Hai Mao Yi Shi, or the Four Seas Trading City. They, of course, are a port trading city, with high amounts of wealth. To be honest it really isn't much like a city, it's more like a humongous guild place where people can trade, and sell and buy things with housing and supplies. So it'd be a lot like Venice-ish. The majority of the benders are water benders, due to being a trading city. Their navy is the thing they boast, though the majority of it is comprised of merchant ships. The history of the city lies somewhat unknown when a group of anonymous earthbenders set up a port city on air nomad territory. It started out a somewhat of an inn, and just grew. This city doesn't really have cultural practices. It's only thing that gets you through as a citizen is your ability to use a ship. To sail, steer, it doesn't matter. As long as you're useful on deck. It's on the verge of being a trading post and a city, so nobody really bothers. People come and go, or some people stay. Though the majority of the populace are mixed benders, fire benders being the least common, there are still some muggles nonbenders. They do the same, though water benders do much better getting to destinations.

Diplomatic Relations: Neutral to each nation. They intend to stay that way, or at least Nanol does.
Infrastructure and Military:
Free Stuff: 1 city, 2 mining outposts, 1 guild, 2 forges, 1 housing center, 1 light frigate, 2 bending battalions, 2 standard battalions

Paid Stuff: Proper Walls (50), Ballista Weapon System (50), 1 Guild (20), 1 Mining Town (45), 1 Factory (75), 1 Housing Center (30), Port (50), Dry-Dock (75), 3 Light Frigates (60) = 455/460 -

I added the 1.5x of the mines for the Earth Bending pro. Mines should be 23GPs instead of 15GPs, which give them that sort of boost.

Maybe there needs to be an upgrade for weapons and armor to Platinum to make them immune to Metal Bending

No first of all their is not enough platinum on this world to justify or afford a Mech (Hahahaha) and it conflicts with how the show originally showed metal-bending. They were not bending metal but rather the Earth within the metal. I always chalked this up to the fire nation not having mastered smelting, but in Korra any metal is bendable besides Platinum. No, no, no. If we were to go with the concept they described then once any discovers the Bessemer Process they should be safe from metal-bending. Any purified metal should be safe.

Also a Mech, bwahahaha!
