The Campaign Builder's Guild

I've actually herded both sheep and goats and found that that while sheep are not exactly easy, they are not completely impossible.  Goats, on the other hand, herd you more than you can ever hope to herd them.  Admittedly, I determined my strength does not lie in herding, but I have heard that this is the usual with goats.

That said, I'm sure the Andosens will manage the actual herding part quite easily, but the matter of when to shear the sheep will take some education.

So how would we get units (such as Andosen spearmen) added to the official list? The Machta-In has plenty of raiders, for example, who prefer a hit-and-run style of tactics but can hold their ground if necessary (although they are much more likely to retreat to the nearest ship and strike again somewhere with less armed forces and more plunder).

I think it involves years of natural develiopement and requre that the fishy actually know of it. I think it took the andosen spear(wo)men around 100 year or so, to develiope? the Mach-ta in raiders sounds abit like marines, which have adopted hit-and-run as thier main tactic.

on a related note, then I'm starting to love the dynamics between Avardera and Andos.

and darn can the Inveran people stir up a good conflict!...both of them!  looking forward to see where things go.

OR overbearing will, in the case of my turtle-riders.
THE SEA IS LIFE!

I'm extremely curious to see what this will do. I'm also curious to see what the Machta will do about a full-on blockade.

You know Stargte, I was considering my own blockade of Machta, but now you've accused me of being highly mercenary. I must think on this.

I can't wait until paper, so i can invent pinates.  I wonder what shall fill them?

Oh ya, the Andosens invented gravity.  (that's gotta count for a +1 somewhere)

How about a +1 to falling damage?

You should fill your piñatas with arrowheads, to toughen your children.

Now, to plot the downfall of the Inverness. AND YES I know that means both of them.

Wait, what?

Why would you blockade the Machta? You're still allowed in!

I'll use my vast fleet of galleys to pwn u?

Actually, a blockade will cause the Machta-In to attack you. He was going to blockade Avardera, but if not...

Remember this WORD: INVERNESS! INVERNESSINVERNESSINVERNESS! Not Inveran! :P

And yeah, that's true. But raiding is a way of life, really. It was less so for a short while under Sha'naa and his predecessors, Padre and Sedoon, but this Machta will probably bring it back to life again, because he's a psychopath.

you know, I was about to wonder why Avardera would be bloackaded...but I guess continouing refering the Machta-in as Inveran could do that *smile sheepishly*

Fight More[/i]

The Machta-In has fought what, one battle?  Two?  And both were naval battles.  It's conflict that spurs on military development.

But I hasten to add that new units are not better by definition.  Andosen spearmen are not "elites," they're just differently equipped and trained, to the point where I felt the "Spr" designation didn't aptly describe their strengths and weaknesses anymore.

It's possible to get "elite" units - think Persian Immortals, or the Varangian Guard - but if you do get that kind of unit you'll generally only have one, it won't be something you can readily re-train.

Ah. I was just wondering. I guess raiders probably fall under the same designation as most other troops. Hmm...

Quote from: Stargate525Wait, what?

Which would make me look all the better.
He insulted my friend, and a trade partner. Also, it would be a show of solidarity between my people and yours, it would remove a player from Inner Sea trade, and since, as he mentions, one on one, he'd crush you, it'd merely heighten the "Inveran gets in trouble and I fix it" vibe I've been building with foreign powers. I'd have deliberately forsaken the potential for exploitation for the benefit of my allies and a rival.

On the other hand, if I let you blockade him, him destroy you, and then I destroy him, that would further strengthen my position, hence my dilemma.
