I believe I can post 2 to 4 armies, the entirety of the Imperial Priesthood, and proof of concept anti-air missiles.

If you even approach a few kilometers of Pelopponese, I will send 2 Battle Barges, along with 3 cruisers and 3 frigates, with dragons as escort and fire full broadsides from high altitude.

My response will come in due time. I've got a whole bunch of plot threads to tie up first, such as Louise and Sion's investigation of Cardiff Castle, Lady Westwood's negotiations with the Empire of the Seine, and the sieges of Pembroke Castle and York.

Perfect.

Oh, I've no intention of making any aggressive moves at this time. A simple shift of assets from Ireland to the South of France seemed in order, however.

Typing on phone. I agree we need points to keep order. I have been busy subbing but will try to post over thanksgiving. I haven't forsaken you.

The Red Tsardom continues to help out it's allies. May it's foes beware, for on the seas you need not only worry about what laids on and above the ocean, but also what lies below it.

Shall we all meet in the Crimean Republic?

See, I'm not that big an asshole as some people who don't answer their PM's.

OK, my order of battle will be ready any day now, honest. I just need to ask something about how the navies work: Basically, do you calculate a ships value based on the crew it takes to run it or the number of people it can take(as well as armament, I'd guess, in cases where the weapons are built in)? Also, do you have to declare all the non-military ships you potentially could use as transports right away or can you add them to your lists later by drafting a bunch of civilian vessels?

PS: Been browsing the OoB thread to get an idea what a good value for various units is: No help at all, you guys have wildly divergent ideas about the appropriate values for things under this games system.

40 points per hundred is average troops and a lot of people have average troops. And i used the number of extra people a ship could take as its point value and combat capability though with the modifiers probably only i remember that airships cost twice their capacity (though maybe not their combat value, air units are mighty potent here by virtue of flying) and that dedicated transports cost half. so i have 200 point combat airfrigates that can carry 100 soldiers and 100 point noncombatant airships that can carry 100 soldiers each.
Speaking of which
Baerne, i'm sending the remaining noncombatant airships to help you move stuff south. I get no use from them otherwise.

But anyway yeah if you want good value per hundred here are some typical numbers i've seen around.
100 peasants 5 points
100 militia 20 points (as seen on the empire of Seine)
100 swordsmen/spearmen/typical soldiers 40 points
100 knights 70-80 points perhaps
100 Golems 800 points.

I would also like to peg that the going rate for riflemen is 75 points per 100.

I am beginning to wonder if there's a point in continuing this.. at that rate as well.

Hang on, there's a conference-type thing going on?

Yeah, it is about attacking your wonderful 'hey let's kill byzantine' alliance.

You must honestly think I was idle while you were maneuvering against me huh?

Which one of us has tried to threatened Pezook?

I'll have to have my guy in Pogoria make a case for an alliance between the Empire and the Kingdom.

Actually, I had the plague removed... in exchange for other things.

Motherfucking extra-dimensional gods and their allies.

They need to start fighting fair.

Time to send my king through the monolith.

By all means, it just means the fight gets more interesting. As it is, Langley himself has pretty strong characters, and you are right next to him.

Heh,looks like everyone wants some Pogorian love...

Anyway, Radoslaw will probably attend, but I don't really have to time to craft elaborate game posts right now.

Actually, why not you be our go in between, since the rest of Europe hates either my guts, my powers, or my existence.

Of course, you control two stable countries and are situated right between the Balkans and the Czordom.

I like this idea.
