With the forts fallen, you decide to fortify what land you have left. The walls around your cities are strengthened, and the peasantry is trained in archery to help defend the walls.

The fortification of what once were mere temporary settlements has led to an increasing number of people settling down there for protection. You number amonst the people that abandoned the nomadic ways. Sadly, this has led to you losing the respect of those who already contested your rule, and even those that still follow you faithfully have stated they will not even consider settling down before this war is over.

Now available with pic related!

Also, guys, how do you propose we limit everyone's military and navy to a sane level? It should obviously be linked to your Wealth Level, but I'm kinda fuzzy on how to exactly pull this off, so any suggestions are welcome. Same goes for battles and sieges, I can't get much further than "Troop Quantity and Quality as well as Ruler's Martial should influence the competitive roll of Attacker vs. Defender".

>>814628
What about giving everyone 15 thousand troops and 25 ships and our rolls dictate what those troops and ships are?

>>814628

For army size: Wealth level + population size x 1000= max number of men.

With cavalry counting as 2 men, elephants as 10, dragons as 20 and so on.

Obviously not those exact numbers, they're just an example. But something along those lines.

Modifiers would have to be applied for any terrain/quality/outnumbering/leaders/whateverthefuckelse as you see fit.

For a siege, additional modifiers would have to be used to reflect the standards of siege equipment/fortifications on each side.

I'd also suggest maybe making major seiges and battles last more than one roll to prevent a single critfail/success deciding a war. Give the winner of the last roll a bonus on the next to reflect their momentum though.


At the end of the day though, do what you want, you're the GM. Go with your gut and do whatever seems right to you. That's both your right and responsibility as GM.

>>814664
That sounds good.
Let's see:
>MANPOWER
>Wealth Level + Population Level + Ruler Stewardship x1000 = Maximum Manpower (Add 10% if your Military Strength is Strength in Numbers)
>Manpower Cost Per Soldier:
>Footman: 1
>Spearman: 1
>Archer: 2
>Cavalry: 3
>Gunman: 3
>Siege Engine: 5
>Special: Variable

>SIEGES
>Defender adds Fortification Level x10 to Roll. Base Fortification Level is 2 for Forts, 3 for Major Cities and 4 for Capital.
>Attacker adds SIege Weapon Level x10 to Roll, plus an additional 15 if you have High-Quality Siege Weapons as your Military Strength). Base Siege Weapon Level is 1 and increases by research.
>The attacker must beat the Defender in a Competitive Roll+Martial an amount of times equal to the Fortification Level of the besieged settlement to win. Critical success counts as two victories, critical failure as -1.

>BATTLES
>Competitive Roll+Martial
>Every 1000 soldiers you have more than your enemy adds +3 to your roll
>Disciplined Troops add +5 to the Roll
>Brilliant Tacticians add +7 to the Roll
>If you have High-Quality Troops, they gain a +10 that applies only if they A) Act alone or B) Outnumber your non-HQ troops.
>Spearmen get +15 against Cavalry
>Footmen get +10 against Spearmen
>Archers and Gunmen get -10 in Close Combat
>Dragons get +20 against everything not specifically designed/trained to fight Dragons. Do not fuck with Dragons.
>You kill or rout 1000 of the enemy's men for every ten you win the roll by, rounding down (so if you win by 17, you kill/rout 1000 men, etc).
>A crtitical success on your part or a critfail on the other means you A) Kill the opposing General - you have a +5 bonus for this battle and the enemy loses their Brilliant Strategists modifier for this battle if appliciable or B) inflict double the amount of casualities.
>A critfail on one side and a simultaneous crit success on the other practically decides the battle.
>Special troops and misc. modifiers get +/-Variable
>A battle is decided when one side retreats, surrenders or is wiped out.
Any suggestions?

>>814747
Oh, and have the army/navy you start with be (Roll)% of your Max Manpower - go down 10% to take a +5 HQ troops bonus or up 10% to take a -5 Shit Troops penalty?
Max Naval Power uses the same rules as Manpower, except it's x10. A Heavy Ship takes 5 Naval Power, a Light Ship takes 3 and enough transports to transport 1000 men takes 1.

And a request from your Friendly Neighbourhood Chancellor to check your country's stuff in the ledger and update/add stuff that needs to be.

I'm not sure what my starting army and navy was supposed to be so I've simply added in what all I've been told thus far.

1. Army Training

The Reich has refused to accept the terms of any sort of surrender. It's clear what they want is genocide. People will be conscripted if need be to serve as pikemen, and our armor industry will be set to work providing adequate body armor to reduce the impact of horse archery.Equally important is the development of proper field tactics to counter the threat of cavalry.

2. Flank Attack
While the hordes wage a guerrilla campaign the Kattinkrat Navy, easily one of the strongest in the world (based on my 94 roll for it), will take mercenary forces (1k foot, 1k archer, 1k spear) around south to strike the Reich's undefended coastlines and cause havoc. The mercenaries can keep whatever they loot as incentive.

3. Medicine Research

4. Guerrilla War roll
