Society VII: Resurrection

[DarkCloud]

I'm not sure what's going on with Mass Education. I fixed that in the chart.

As for only able to tax 12 cities. Hmm...

I fixed their gold calculations- that was a good catch.

Jonny and MJW now have correct after-tax revenues.

[Jonny]

Sorry EPW; it's nothing personal, but you were just too juicy of a target not to go after.

Spies
* Ninjabadhistan SABOTAUGES Missouri's Trade
* Texas DEFENDS army production
* MJW FAILS TO SABOTAUGE Texas' army production
* Missouri SABOTAUGES Texas' city production.

News
* Kira's Kingdom, under the leadership of MJW V "The Bold", improved technology to discover Representative Government and purchased 110 armies (for a total of 170) and crossed borders to do battle in the Republic of Texas.

* Ninjahbadistan constructed 5 new cities until it bordered the Empire of Texas and the Empire of Missouri, then they built 101 armies and sneak attacked the Empire of Missouri.

* The Empire of Texas improved slightly in research, and then constructed 180 armies to confront Kira's Kingdom.
Kira's attempted to sabotauge ARMY PRODUCTION, but that was foiled since the Republic of Texas had defended their army production with a Spy.
The Empire of Texas, however, wasted 100 gold as their CITY BUILDERS were bought off by enemies from The Empire of missouri. Who subsequently launched a SNEAK ATTACK.

* The Empire of Missouri had grand plans for development of the UCLA, but found those plans sabotauged when the Empire of ninjabadhistan ruined their trade.
To fulfill the rest of their orders, 5 less army was built than planned and the UCLA was canceled. Still, even with the cancellations, the MAFIA Wonder was built for 454.
Ninjabadhistan also attempted to construct the MAFIA, but was outbid.
Perhaps their bitterness led to their decision to invade Missouri? Only the Monarch of Ninjabadhistan can tell for certain.

* The Empire of Birds remained peaceful and revolted to Monarchy. Their preserved phase was CITY BUILDING... and they built 10 new citadels.
Then they were gifted Tech 10 by benevolent Ninjabadhistan.

Wars

1.) KIRAS KINGDOM---REPUBLIC OF TEXAS
THE GREAT WAR
* The Great Battle of The Century began with Kira's Kingdom troops wading across the Rio Grande into Texan territory.
It ended, with all the Brave Kiraians either dead or enslaved.

KIRAS
170 troops x 9 Tech Level = 1530

TEXAS
180 troops x 10 Tech Level = 1800

1800-1530=270
270/10=
27 casualties for the Empire of Texas.

It is good for Texas that it sustained but 27 casualties, (leaving them with 180-27=153 soldiers) for stage two of the Great War began with the Empire of Missouri crossing borders to invade.

BUT, because Theben got his orders in first, Missouri's attack would not come to pass until first the Empire of Missouri could defend its own borders.

2.)NINJABADHISTAN---MISSOURI
THE BATTLE OF MISSOURI--SNEAK ATTACK

NINJABADHISTAN
130 troops

MISSOURI
85 troops

all four SNEAK ATTACK targets were captured and missouri lost the cities of: B7 through F7.

Casualties were as follows

Ninjabadhistan
D/AT= 85/11= 8 Soldiers

Missouri
(D/DC)*Cities Lost= (85/14)x4=25 Soldiers

Leaving Missouri with 60 Troops to invade Texas.

3.) MONARCHY OF MISSOURI--REPUBLIC OF TEXAS
THE GREAT WAR--SNEAK ATTACK

many malodrous missourian missionary monarchists still felt up for battle, despite the beating they had taken, and 60 of them assaulted G6,H6,I6,and J7; the bordering cities.
Missouri was victorious, gaining four new cities to make up for the four previously lost to Ninjabadhistan. However, taxes could not be collected on these newly captured cities.

TEXAS
153 soldiers

MISSOURI
60 soldiers

Casualties:
D/AT= 153/10= 16

(D/DC)xCities lost= (153/10)x4= 62 troops

Texas lost a brave 62 troops.
Missouri merely lost 16.

final troop counts were-
Texas: 91
Missouri: 44

Aftermath
* Ninjabadhistan became the most populous country, with 21 cities... but lacked a way to tax more than 12 of them
* The Empire of Missouri net neither gained nor lost cities, but it constructed MAFIA so it could tax all of its cities... sans 4 which it had just conquered this turn... leaving only 14 to tax.
* The Empire of Birds took flight with the Transsiberian Railway and will certainly be more difficult to squash in the future than any mere cancerous tumor.
* The Aggressive Kira's Kingdom got its comeuppance on the battelfield, seeing its entire army wiped by Texans standing hard at the Alamo.
* The Empire of Texas fought to live another day, but its circumstances remain precarious as t has dropped from 10 Cities to 6.
* The World is scorched by war, and everyone save Theben and Sparrowhawk, is probably weaker because of it.

* SILK ROAD EXPIRED this turn, with the discovery of MASS EDUCATION.
* With its discovery of NUCLEAR FISSION, Ninjabadhistan ushers in the NUCLEAR ERA.

* NINJABADHISTAN and MISSOURI are AT WAR!
* MISSOURI and TEXAS are AT WAR!
* KIRA'S KINGDOM and TEXAS are AT WAR!

NOTES
For Sparrowhawk's taxes I did this; I think it is right.
(14x10x5)
/2 (because in revolution.
x2 because revolted to Republic.
=
700- army support(29)= 671 gold before trade

* spaced cowboy--> 600 gold-91 for army support=509 gold before trade.

* Jonny
14(because mafia)x10x5=700
700x1.5 (monarchy
=1050
+100 babel
=1150
-2 army support
=1148.

*Whew. I hope that's bug free.

*I'll be here until wednesday so I'll try to correct any oversights that might have crept in, but from late wed-sunday will be on vacation.

Strategic Hints to Players
* Tech level is probably the most important thing in winning battles.
* Sparrowhawk's advice about avoiding battles entirely is probably the best advice you'll hear. In the last 6 iterations of this game, almost no one has won by conquest.
* Two people can send spies to sabotauge the same production phase... which can be useful since a person can defend their own phase, but if two spies enter, then there's a problem.
* Spies can be stockpiled for later use.
* Allies can send a spy to help defend some aspect of their allies' orders.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I hate to tell you this but attack and defend are two different things. You have armies that attack during a turn, (specified or default is all) and then another group specified to defend. Orders are processed as they are sent in.

So my armies could not have defended my cities since they were out attacking someone elses.



From the rules:

War

Buy armies with Gold. The cost per army is your Tech Level. When you advance in technology, existing armies are automatically upgraded free of charge.



You can fight one war per turn with an adjacent society. Your armies sent to attack do not defend. Specify target and number of armies to commit.



Declaring war

Normal diplomatic procedure is to declare war one turn before attack. You may carry out sneak attacks, but under such cases you are limited to capturing cities directly adjacent to your territory.



Theater of operations

Rank the enemy cities in preference of which ones you'd like to capture. Each city must be adjacent to your territory or to a city further up the list. If you don't, the GM will take cities in a way to minimize your borders.
