New Civilizations [OOC | Open]

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Training would be the main thing. Jeb would use his reenacting skills and battles as a measure on how they will fight, find weaknesses in the person and team building and training. This would be more emphasized once crossbows and gunpowder weapons are introduced as small unit tactics and group reliability would be more entrenched with advanced unit organization and specialization. However, one of the major points that they have is flexibility and adaptability for when things like new tactics and weapons to come in.

This is already been implemented in some degree but Jeb thought that it wasn't really necessary to advance it further because of the lack of guns or advance weapons.

Morale is a secondary concern because its worked into the training. Ego troops generally are taught the horrors of war but understand that they must do war because its what safe keeps Ego and their tribes. This will be replaced with a more religious zeal and reform the warrior training to understand war, but give incentives and structure it around the American military service as more advance things will be coming in.

Hmm, those are good thoughts. I'd probably be of the opinion that field experience and decades of tactical and strategic warfare against foes more organized than your average North American tribe will lend the Imperial Army the edge when it comes to doctrine and collective skill, but that's just my $0.02. Obviously those tactics and methods of warfare will have to be overhauled in order to deal with a foe with weapons that can harm an army in steel kit equipped with rifles, but that will be the case for both of our polities.

I assume that Ego will have an advantage in any musket vs musket pitched battle, since that's where Jeb's training will lend itself most purposefully. Now, whether any such battles will occur in the immediate future is another question.

Probably not at first, I kind of doubt the Imperium or Ego would fight each other in open battle. Maybe a cold war or something since I get the feeling that this maybe a America vs Soviet thing between a major Christian power vs a major pagan one.

Perhaps- though I would personally weight decades of experience with the weapons favorably against one man’s remembrance of strategy. You are correct, though, I doubt any such combat will occur. Projecting force to America would be a tall order indeed.

You should expand north, east, and west. Yes, go north, east, or west.

But it is all warm and fertile and sunny down south.

Its even harder for me to do here in Europe, not so much Japan because of closer proximity and the Bering Strait.

No. south is a hellish land. I hear they have a deathly disease. It's called Republicanism. Even worse that though is a terminal condition called Democracy.

Ah, that sounds like a disease that I know the cure for though. Doctor Nemtsov recommends a generous dose of lead injections and steel open-heart surgery on all afflicted persons. 50% of the time, it works 100% of the time.

[Ulls]

I wonder how will the Imperium collapse.

Republicanism Americana and Democracy Hellenica are tough bastards. Lest you completely eradicate the disease, it will spring back stronger and more deadly than before.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I wonder how will the Imperium collapse.

Probably bureaucratic inertia and scale politicalization. It relies on good choices of government and military officials in its layers of bureaucracy, but eventually the Emperor will have to upscale the distribution of power so much that low level power will be relatively unchecked from an ethical and corruption standpoint.

Pssshhh. Early strains are fragile and easy to eradicate or quarantine, especially when newly introduced to a susceptible population. It’s the entrenched geographical infections that you have to worry about, when things start going cultural instead of political.

Endless Legend is giving me some ideas for the future.

How Can i convert the rest of the village.... Hmmmm

At the point of a spear?

Stigmata, worked for Thomas, works for tribals.

[Skarten]

Wrong. There are many Yumi footmen.

Ehh, Ego's longbows could defeat the Yumi, even more so when they get phased out.

BRO do you even kyujutsu

Horses are native to Japan and it will take more than a couple generations to get horses that can carry human weight.

By that time, the Mandate will wash over Japan.

Step 1 Conquer a good part of Japan
Step 2 make junk Japanese ships (not literal junk)
Step 3 contact outside civilization (Imperium even better)
Step 4 Profit

So question for thought/input: Viktor is currently plotting to detach a large chunk of the Scythian Ukraine via subterfuge/bribes/military force. Since Cristo is no longer in this Rp, how should his NPC heir react, in your opinion?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

With War of course, especially if its a valuable or rather larger chunk of land. Especially if the local leaders turn it over, the Scythian should be screaming bloody murder and attacking. They have to know that any regression at this point leads to death. The alternative is the assumption of a nomadic lifestyle and a retreat eastward.

[Skarten]

Imperium go to japan, I need horses and other stuff pls

Won't be able to reach step three, No one will save you from the Night Owl. Submit while you still can.

But seriously, to answer your question about the missionaries, I probably won't instigate a rebellion but it depends what you do to the followers.
