The Apolyton Empire: Game

[Apep]

To civman2000,
For God's bloody sake it was just a joke, jeez, you're allowed to go insane and declare war on the English for no good reason and I'm not allowed to have one little joke, Huh?
Well I will make you pay.

[Mellian]

OOC you'll get the economic numbers tommorrow morning, don't worry... just got back home and it is 330am, so i am going to bed....

easthaven, Fox Regiments are not super fast and the forces around London won't be surprised, they
ll be expecting...and they will have Knights and so on to match speed with the Foxes. Can blitzkrieg Newcastle, but doesn't mean it will work for the rest. as they will be expected.

Harrington is a repubican, individualistic and unconventional. really good at her job...

March 1401

TO Giovanni VOdka, Military Advisor
FROM Majors of the 21st Regiment

We request to be transferred to the english frontlines

[Easthaven I]

OOC: ok ok I get your point. Anyways, Fox Regiments aren't 'super' fast but they are faster than Knights, thats why I made them. Less armor and bulkyness means more speed and agility, more armor means more weight and more bulkyness which means slower dude and not very agile kind of guy. Therefore, Fox Riders are faster and more agile than knights, meaning if one Fox would race a knight the Fox Rider would leave the knight in the dust.

Ok ok I surrender to the blitz thing, Newcastle we can catch by surprise maybe, but York and Warwick will probably be ready for us by the time we get there. Yes ma'am.*salutes*

[Lord Zalzabad]

Exelent, the fiscal Crisis is over. But I'll still need the amount of troops in the army

The Moderator stared at Apep. "I am not my brother," she said coldly.
"Your, Highness, I--"
"GET OUT!"
"But--"
"GUARDS!"
Apep left protesting, and three guards quickly came to escort him from the palace.

[Giovanni Wine]

Not to mention that all the Cognac raiders use is a shield, and a wepon (either Arch, Sword or Musket)

So they are extremely fast... but if they attack an army will take many casualities.. that's why they only are good at pillaging and doing suprise attacks, they are like a group of thieves... no more no less, but they work for the army

From: Colonel Giovanni Vodka
To: Major of the 21st Regiment

I will speak with Field Marshall Thunderfire, and see if he thinks it might be a good idea.


From: Colonel Giovanni Vodka
To: Field Marshall Mark Thunderfire

The Major of the 21st told me that the men are ready to go to the front.
Therefore I forwarded their request to you.
But if we send the 21st down, than also the 17th will have to, so that I can take care of both of them.

Cognac

In the night, the 5000 Cognac raiders sneaked through the mountains.

"Remember" said Cognac "The English won't be so unprepared this time, they'll be much more on the alert after the Newcastle raids"

The Cognac raiders finally arrived on the english plains, just south the mountains. (in between Warwick and York)

"ok guys" said Cognac "we all now what we must do.. so let's just do it"

"ok Gio" said the raiders

Between Giovanni Cognac there was much more something like a friendship relationship, and that was the real strenght of the Cognac raiders.

The group splitted, and a big mass of raiders, was moving everywhere around the field, they destroy the crops, burn the houses down, burn stables evrything that came to their sight was either destroyed, burned or stolen.

The country in there was a real hell, fire was everywhere, people was running whereever they could to escape the fire.

But after a few hours a shower of arrow was raining on the Raiders, and the civilians that were captured from them

"WHAT They are already here!!!" Shouted Cognac "AWAYYYY"

The Cognac Raiders soon begin to run as fast as they could, a few english tried to follow them, but soon enough they lost them

the Raiders went away at the same speed the arrived, leaving behind them nothing but fire and destruction.

Report from: Colonel Giovanni Cognac
to: Field Marshall Easthaven

Our raids was a success, we destroyed and burned everything that is just south of the Mountains, stole a lot of grains, captured 23 English civilians, which we can use for slavery, and we tried to reduce civilian casualities to the minimum, although probably the fire have killed some of them.
the English response was ready and fast, in little less than 2 hours they were already attacking us, thi means that there are probably a few english encampment in the vicinity.

To all Advisors and the Great Moderator:

I will be going to America and visit the troops at the front and talk with my Generals in the field. Thus I will be gone for at least a month. If you have any problems needed to take care of, my second in command will stay behind and handle things while I am away.

[Easthaven I]

April 16th 1401

To Colonel Cognac:

Well done Colonel, great job. Anyways, I need you to go back now. I want your men to sneak into the forests of York and Warwick (the woods in between the cities), under the cover of darkness would be best. There you will wait, you will camouflage yourselves to be part of that forest, hide in the caves cover youselves in mud, leaves, and branches, become an extension of that forest and know every tree and crevice in it. When the english armies pass through that forest I want you to sneak attack them, surround them and after a barrage from your muskets charge them from all sides with your swords held high hewing off their heads. Your appearance alone will hamper their reaction time. Confuse them by attacking from all angles and screaming your war cries. Have a few men in trees sharpshooting them with arrows and muskets.

Of course if its big army don't attack the whole army, isolate a group. Divide and Conquer, my friend, divide and conquer. Its a very large forest you should be able to do so.

And for spending some time there beforehand you should know all the secret places to retreat to if you get into trouble. Study that forest, setup choke points and traps, I believe you will do a good job.

Take the necessary foods and supplies, hunt in the forest with arrows if you must, but not muskets(muskets are too loud, save them for the battles).

Good Luck, Colonel.

-Field Marshall Easthaven I

[Apep]

You just wait and see what happens now! I will see to it that all who anger me will pay!
Your family, friends, and fellow citizens will die! This is a promise! This has nothing to do with your GAME!
Because you have spat in my face and I do not take kindly to spit or insults.
It may take years but I will destroy all you hold dear. Remember this.
Apep

To Giovanni Vodka:
These troops aren't needed right now. They are in reserve but if reinforcements are needed, your regiments will be among the first.

But now, you need to study Naval warfare. That's an order, don't ask any question about it.
A friend, an admiral will give you lessons. Meanwhile you will continue to command these regiments.
Also, train them in amphibious landing.

OOC: if you want explanation, I will be on msn/or Apolyton chat.

Also when will the invasion start?

[Mellian]

OOC: didn't someone say April?

[Lord Zalzabad]

4th May 1401

Minister of Trade and the Economy, Drako Chuko

(It is, however, alot of guess work

[Mellian]

May 1401

Chief of Staff as finally written up the constitution, which included how the governments will be work, and the rights and freedoms of the people at the end of the convention.

Some silly people suggested to add the right to be armed in the constitutions, like the americans. She was like, hmmm, no followed by a long lecture and prediction of the consequences of that, using some past circumstances in America for examples. Apolyton would be a terrifying place if eeveryone had guns.

Another big subject was wether to have mandatory military service or not, how long it should be and wether or not that includes just men or females as well. People decided mandotary two years of military services for both males and females, while making sure to define military service which isn't just garrisoning or going off to war. They can do their service anytime between 18 and 30 years of age, as long as they do it. At the end of two years, they may chose to retire or continue with the military. This should please the military commanders.

There was also the discussion of religion, which Apep unfortunatly attended the convention for about making it mandotary for people to go to church and so on. Despite what Apep as to say, constitution will say that people can believe what they want, as long as they don't discriminate others for what they believe.

Another part gives rights, freedoms and respect (shouldn't be discriminated) to EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING in Apolyton, no matter who they are and the way they are, unless they are a criminal or a prisoner...who usually are used for hard labour. Hey, may as well make them productive then just sitting in their prison cells.

Rest was lesser stuff, justice code, death penalty (only for murderers, rapists, molesters and other disgusting people), property ownership, marriage (marry whoever you want...apolyton as a high population rate, so gender doesn't matter), post rate in the sub-forums, and so on.

She just glad it is done and that the people atleast the ones that attended the convention, are happy with it. It is to be signed by the moderator, chief of staff, advisors, some military commanders, some Governors and some head citizens who attended the convention at the end of the war.

NOW, she can go back to Apolyton and continue her duties until then...

[civman2000]

OOC: Uh, the Convention ended a few months ago...And I might not be willing to sign to some of the stuff, i'd have to see the specifics. Just because you want to stop talking about the constitution doesn't give you the right to say that there was one that everyone signed without those people actually approving of it.

[Mellian]

OOC: do you seriously want to go through every single detail of the constitution? we can if you wish, but why slow down the story with it?

I know it ended a few months ago...just saying that taking all of the suggestions and agreements from the convention, she finally done a proper draft, constitution form. May as well keep my character busy while the story lags a bit. ALso didn't say anyone signed it, just said it was ready to be signed...which still leaves room to and time to change...depending how long the war lasts.

Also, if people as any problems, suggestions, comments and so on, PLEASE tell me. this is a cooperative story, so we should communicate. That is why i created the discussion thread.... so please keep OOC only there... i know i do that to, but we should stop doing that

Edit: also, which parts i mentioned which the Moderator doesn't agree with anyway?

do keep in mind, this isn't completly base on my personal views, also put things i would protest to in real life, for the sake of the story and keeping in mind that it is Late-Medieval and the FIRST Republic of Apolyton.
