Wellsia wrote:Wellsia is an absolute monarchy at this time under a hedonistic king who spends the treasury on elaborate parties and sycophants, ignoring the kingdom. The Army is suppose to have some 16,000 men but through corruption and theft, in reality has about half that number. The majority of the troops are still armed with matchlocks and fight in compact columns 8 deep and 32 wide. The army also uses war elephants covered with heavy armor and carrying a small 2 pounder cannon (1 kg). The strength of the army will be cavalry units of both regulars and irregulars. The Navy is in somewhat better shape but tradition has kept the majority of the ships propelled by a combination of sails and oars. The largest ships carry some 24-36 pdr (16 kg) and a dozen or so sweeper cannons. The ships carry a large number of Marines and prefer boarding tactics.
King Hanno VIII will support any group that can provide him with more money to spend on his parties. The Council is concerned by the power of Laeden and its growth of power in the area. Other nations is southern part of Wellsia can have rival factories for trading with the natives in the area. This war is what convinces the leaders of Wellsia to expand in land and occupy the interior regions of modern Wellsia. The natives are semi-civilized and can provide armies of warriors armed with a variety of firearms and melee weapons.

Wellsia wrote:Wellsia is built on trading, it would welcome trade with it, but would oppose contact with the native tribes and cities as cutting them out as the middle man. Think if a local nation had been powerful enough to oppose the various East India companies that built factories throughout India. At this point Hadast (Carthage) is similar to the Hanse towns.

Wellsia wrote:Some of them yes, but a little bribe or two could get papers lost or cause forgetfulness. Think of the area somewhat like India, before British domination, when you had Portuguese, Dutch, French, Danish and English factories buying and selling goods. Hadast claims the coast but except for our on trade factories in the area, has little or nothing to do with it. As long as the MSTC doesn’t interfere with Hadast or tries to establish trade factories in the north part of South Argus or the southernmost part of the large island, things will be overlooked. The king might even sell trade rights to the MSTC or other groups to finance his lifestyle.

Wellsia wrote:The southern coast of Wellsia, outside the islands and peninsulas across from them, is mostly held only by native tribes and towns, Consider this region similar to India or the Guinea Coast in the 1600s and early 1700s with numerous nations having trade factories built there. Laeden instead of raiding fortified coastal cities of Wellsia, I would suggest that you have a port or two for your ships to stop at. This war is what leads Wellsia to expand in the south driving out other nations and occupying those trade towns.
