I know what's in the area, during the interm I made secret expeditions to Somalia so I can get camels and give some accurate year and calendar for me.

Secret expeditions, sure. Secret surveying expeditions? Less likely. Especially given the timeframe. One doesn't survey Eastern Africa in five years.

We've only been to a few places of note. The Horn was one but we didn't have survey teams since everyone was learning common Imperial technology .

Mhm. So right now you know the primary resource of Somalia is camels

As far as I know till I send an survey team down there to see what's good to trade. OOCly I know that i will be running a deficit with the long-distance trade.

Soon, hopefully, need to get time to write everything and that's going against me.

You replied:

That wasn't agreeing with me?

And again, this is still exactly my original plan. And I might not have OOC feedback, but I do have generals with years of experience to consult with. Quite a few with over 20 years of experience.

Indeed was agreeing that the Yamatzon were presumably spread throughout the city- clarifying that, yes, that was the assumption I was operating under. Not agreeing that this new information, which indeed aligned with my original thoughts on the topic, justified dramatically increased stealth for the infiltrators.

Generals experienced in decapitation strikes and infiltration? Come now.

Why should it be that noticeable? This is a large city, and there are probably plenty of visitors. There is less than one person a day coming in. They're spread out over the much larger city. It doesn't seem like it would be that noticeable.
And don't use the Mexicans in DC again; this is 5000 years ago. They don't have a good way to measure the number of citizens in the city.

No, not specifically. But when you've led military expeditions for over 20 years, you probably can give advice on a plan, even if it's not precisely the strategy you're used to.

By the way, G, I already posted a civilization description right here.

A large city- in 3000 BCE. A large city at war. Like I said earlier, I doubt it possesses more than a few thousands residents. Even if we generously say she has three or four thousand inhabitants, hundreds of migrants are crtainly noticeable.

And erm, yes, they do. Yekrenia doesn’t have a currency; she uses labor tithes tied identity to distribute goods. The communist influences are why she has a Politburo. If the soldiers are eating, they are formally identified and known to the state.

So, you mean, bad advice then?

...
They have labor tithes?
Well that ruins my entire plan.
WHY, COMMUNISM?
Can I summon the spirit of Ronald Reagan here? That might help defeat the filthy Commies.

Also, not necessarily bad advice. They might not be good at leading it, but they probably could give some good advice at least.

How many soldiers would be in the city altogether? Maybe I can just storm the Council hall openly.

Sounds amusing, but Reagan technically has yet to live in this timeline. And may never live, of course.

Well, bad advice from the perspective of infiltration. Your military commanders are former raiders and brigands; thus their advice might include stealth to the extent of an ambush, but their experiences aren't exactly tailored to such an operation.

Several hundred, perhaps even as much as the high hundreds if all the members of the ruling council are there. Of course, if you intend to storm it directly, your major issue will be breaching the walls and the council's keep, more than the defenders themselves.

I'll try to get an IC post up tomorrow, if I can.

I'll try to get one up Friday!

By that, I mean if I remember to write one. I temd to be a little forgetful.

[Damverland]

Meanwhile I just want to post as much as possible, but I don't want to swamp the IC.

I know what you mean. When I OP, every other IC post is probably mine.

I think they'd be able to at least give good advice, but that doesn't matter now.

Besides the converts from the missionaries, I still have a steady, if slow, influx of converts from other raiders who have heard off our successes, and now my immortality as well. In total, I'd say I have about 10,000 Yamatzon total, 7000 of which live in Yapan itself. As suchy, my army has about 900-1000 soldiers total now. In addition, one thing the men are very experienced in is charging fortified positions and breaking through. As such, if I would charge the city, going straight for the Council hall, what would my odds be?

Also, is the city made of wood or stone?

Man, y'all have big armies

Man, y'all have big armies

ikr. Their army is the size of my entire population.

I think I have 350 soldiers to like a 30k pop? I haven't looked at numbers in ages
