Well, they're supposed to be the ancestor to the actual Chu state. But that's years from now.
Plot spoilers.

Actually, I don't even plan that far ahead. I'm just making stories as we go along.

I have like one idea for the future, and that’s a couple thousand years down the line, sooo…

Hmm actually Kowani redirecting the rivers only going to help Chu's campaign.
Either way, the Ju is already affected.
And 150 men 'van' can't defend the locations effectively.

Anyway, Deian, what's Ju capital? or Nearest city on Chu axis of advance?

They’re not…eh, I’m not spoiling that.

Take note;

I plan on arriving, set up camps, and then set up negotiation camps between the army and the city gate; then hold a banquet; with almost naked dancing girls, and salted pork as well extravagant rice wine that Chu/Xia has to offer. Unless of course they met some large resistance.

Your king is invited of course; since they all used to serve the Xia dynasty, perhaps they already knew one another.

I might even wrote the scouts noticed someone else is sabotaging the Ju rivers, (since Chu isn't doing that, yet, and the flooding to come is going to affect the Ju''s cities more) and go after their heads and present them to the Ju king. As gesture and token of ...good will?

Now, where's all the other barbarians/bandit hordes coming to attack?
I need to deal with them swiftly too.

Trying to resolve what would happen with Zhin and my Korean Guy who only got one post so far because no one was playing the emperor back then

Well, my Korean guy tried to become the head advisor, but the emperor wasn't played, and Zhin conquered Xingtai on the premise of starting a full out war against the Xia emperor but the emperor was killed

Haha I'm never going to tell you where I'm going to attack, my soon to be duke of shandong.

It's OK, my power of narrative will tells me how to deal with your troops marching toward Xia/Chu territories.

Though Shandong is at the present under Ju Dynasty controls which tries to break away from Xia/Chu.
Go ahead, march and burn as you like.

Who cares. Once I crush all opposition then I'll just enfeoff you as the duke of shandong

You can become NPC for a while and let people down whatever they want to Ju. A suggestion though.
People doesn't seem responding to my military actions after Xia stopped being NPC; might need another NPC.
Also, I know you're not asking, but a piece of advice stop arguing in NSG and Moderation. It gives you migraine and stuff.

I have planned a response but then Xia emperor got killed and I don't know what Zhin should do

Life works in a mysterious way; well, the world is our oyster.

Eternal Lotharia wrote:Posted. Kinda suffering writer's block, sorry Aey.

It's not something to apologize, really.

However, we do not desire to be completely subserviant,

So, to what extend does the Ju willing to be subserviant?

I'm thinking;



This will be flesh out in IC of course.

Yes, I think so.

4,000 years long, I'm sure everyone got even chance to win at some point.

Eternal Lotharia wrote:True. I built up Jin to be the great hero but unsure whether to fight now or be the Tokugawa to your Oda. Does "visionary founder" make sense as an alternative? I'm still considering fighting or clever tricks, but still, I wonder if the Xia era could be considered like a "Prologue" or if we treat it as a whole chapter equal to the others. Gonna need to think about it.

What do you have in mind?

Well, I still have no idea how to summon Farn's goddess character.

I guess it all depends on the narrative though, how you develop the character; etc etc.

Well, I don't mind, this is a light and easy RP for me. But for that to happen,Song Jin and his house must survive.

So...

Bend the knee.

Or I'll introduce dracarys with Chinese characteristic.

Eternal Lotharia wrote:I propose that after the Xia era, things become more literal and serious. We reevaluate what worked in the Xia era, the issues, hammer it out, set more ground rules, then make a detailed map and go darker.

Well you're the OP, if its fun for me, I wouldn't mind.
Of course, I prefer if we use real topographic maps and all. Makes tactics and strategy executions far more superior.
