Suuure

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll end up going to war at some stage, even if we manage to resolve the current tensions peacefully. Then we'll get a chance to see who comes out on top

You better pray we run out of ammo.

You better pray you don't, or all those shiny new guns will be as good as useless against a crazy serf with a sharpened shovel

Then again, Our troops would still be able to win yours on a melee 1v1.
But you just have too many, so, yeah,it would be hard.

Strictly OOC post here (gotta be neutral IC, the TRADE MUST FLOW), but I don't think it would go all that well for Altpeak.

>Army of serfs arrives.

>Skartenian diplomat: "HEY!! You guys want jobs building a railroad?? And Skarten won't even charge you for the privilege of using our equipment!! Why die as a serf charging all of our guns when you could build a railroad as a free worker?? We won't put you into debt working for us, we'll actually pay you!!"

>The sound of thousands of dropped sharpened shovels is heard.

Fuedalism doesn't exactly breed loyalty. There's a very good reason that the majority of a medieval country's army was made up of knights (nobility) and hired mercenary groups. The people you trick into a life of crippling debt typically aren't willing to die to maintain that lifestyle.

Altpeak's serf/conscript army is less like the medieval feudal army and more like the 18th and 19th century Russian feudal army. So they are paid and because the Altpeakian nobles want them to be loyal enough to put down revolts rather than join them, the army also get other privileges not enjoyed by anyone other than the nobility.

So the promise of wages isn't really going to sway them in the same way it would sway every other serf

Made a short post. Leading it into the first Gebetan armored cruiser with simple turrets.
Also, feel free to catch me up on important things.

Replying right now. Also here's to catch you up:
1. We can now colonize New World
2. Altpeak is hosting its coronation ceremony (where they will also discuss coalition)
3. The Anzotac Imperium literally declared war on everyone (Coalition is being formed against them to invade together)

My superior frigates can come in handy.
Working on the 3d model of the Armored Cruiser. Might Have it be that 2 wooden ships are abandoned on the slip and the Cruiser built 24 hours aday to push it out fast.

If you want to participate in the land war, feel free to join my relief army.

Also, forgot to include a map of my colony in the New World, please give me a minute while I work on that.

[Gebeta]

Just a bit of info on Gebeta right now.
The major factories hate Alois. They fear that he will lower income for them by forcing them to modernize. They see new guns that need machines to rifle as expenses that hurt the company as of now. They dont see the future in it. As a gesture of ill meanings, once Alois declares that the army will switch to them, the factories will fire people "making finacial freedom to buy the machines" others see Alois as to weak. No other ruler walks along side his people. No otger ruler travles in the same trains as them. They belive he is to soft and unwilling to send people to die for Gebeta, where in reality he k ows it has to be done if all else fails.

Roman Catholicism.

I don't even know if Skarten is going to care about the war.
They probably have better stuff to do.

I messed up on my posts and Tzar Dimitri Kornolov was in power duirng the war after he over threw Tzar Daniel Ilyich

Before I make an attempt to post, might somebody be able to tell me the IC date, or at least an approximation as well as a quick summary of major events thus far?

[Romanussia]

Before I make an attempt to post, might somebody be able to tell me the IC date, or at least an approximation as well as a quick summary of major events thus far?

The IC date is 1814 and here are the events that happened so far:
1. Romanussia (me) has succession crisis
2. Anzotac Imperium becomes the center of revolt(s).
3. Skarten proposes international railway
4. Anapoltania has communist revolution and Arcadia intervenes
5. Imerisium sends letters for international trade to every nation
6. Congress of Gornau between Vallonia, Gebeta, and Romanussia decides many things:
-Rhenphalia becomes independent (new nation that is not individually player-controlled)
-Borders for nominal claims in the New World
-Stances on matters abroad
7. Altpeak hosts coronation ceremony and invites everyone, all who don't come are presumed enemies of the new king's claim to the throne
8. Anzotac Imperium literally declares war on ever nation.
9. During Altpeak coronation ceremony, a coalition against the Anzotac Imperium is underway

Cool! Mine are well-disciplined, profficient in that tics, and now exactly how to work the environment. Also nice Halo reference.

And isn't it a team effort that's taking down Anzotac?
