The_Sadukar Posted October 3, 2002 Author Posted October 3, 2002 Earthnuker there are no atvantages in being a count, it's the lowtes rank, but everybody starts whit it, then I can becide whenether or not you shal advance to duke or baron, but if you are a ghost lander you will have to take over another conty to become duke and a tried to become baron, but in the empire you cna advance by Imprial favor, wicht is cheaper and easyer.and Mad Rhetoric the ghostlands ins't a unitet empire is a lot of warlords figthing for dominace, so that why a ghostland lord can hve more pesants and men-at-arms, they have no garuentee for protection for an emperor or king.and do any of have any brothers or sisters (in the game)by they way Earthnuker are you imprial or ghostlander
Mad Rhetoric Posted October 3, 2002 Posted October 3, 2002 Oh,all right,so I'm just a seperate warlord warring with others.I'll have a sister.

Usul Posted October 3, 2002 Posted October 3, 2002 Count Sorrel Gephart leader of House Tanides. We are forest dwellers famed for covert operations and marksmanship (with bows obviously). Our capital city is known as Sylvain because of its location in the thick woods which we have tamed. We have many small villages scattered throughout these woods but population is around 4500 people and 500 men at arms. We don't use Warturtles (at least not yet) because of their inability to move easily through the forest (is it possible I could have somthing else instead?). We are members of the Order of Light as we like our troops to be well trained but flexable and to know there weaknesses and to known when to run away. I have a brother (I have a sister in real life and she is really annoying so why suffer the same fate in fantasy ;D).

Usul Posted October 4, 2002 Posted October 4, 2002 "Orcs, eh. Hmm I think we can handle that sire. Leave it with me".An hour later"Ok, Leutienant take 100 men 1/2 archers and 1/2 swordsmen. Also take the horses the Emperor kindly gave us and have 25 of swordsmen and archers one one"."Understood my leige" he replied.Another hour later, a few miles away."Where are those damn Orcs sarge" said a private"Don't worry son we almost there now. Just keep the noise down ok".A few minuites later an advanced party reported back saying that they found a base and yhat the Orcs were mainly asleep and those awake in a drunken stuper.First the archers got into positions near the base and the swordsmen proteced them. Then the archers begun to fire and the cavalry charge. It was all over in a few minuites with only 3 mounted swordsmen lost. Soon we will clease these lands of all Orcish presence.Money before taxes: 5545Taxes: 2773 paid (rounded up)Peasents 4545
The_Sadukar Posted October 4, 2002 Author Posted October 4, 2002 Usul I forgive you this one time , but I'm supossed to write the fights, sp if you just lead up to the fight (those you start)
Usul Posted October 4, 2002 Posted October 4, 2002 Opps sorry, I forgot. I could change the post if you want
The_Sadukar Posted October 4, 2002 Author Posted October 4, 2002 No I said I forgave you, but just pay your tax the Franz Hargendorf V, you do it by writing how much you eran and then you write thet you send half of it to the emperor.Imprial facts:Techs: medivalSlavery: is lagal, but whit beigning indrustilaztion in the large citys, some orginaztions mean that slavery should be banned. the most common ways to become slave is to be unable to pay your debts, phunishment for crims, and defaetet soilders who don't get away, some landowners also breeds slavs for selling.Religon: almost every county has it's own gods, by the Imprial gods who are worshipped all over the Empire, are the god of fire, the god air, the god of warter, the god of earth, the godess of willpower, and the godess of magic.
Mad Rhetoric Posted October 4, 2002 Posted October 4, 2002 Alright,then we don't use the Elites,but start raiding orc paries.

Anathema Posted October 5, 2002 Posted October 5, 2002 (OOC: My count will be loyal to the emperor in person)Count Azmeth looked out over the balcony and thought of the disgusting creatures that dwelt in the forest below...best not to think of it. His parents died years ago, and he had an unmarried sister- he was considering arranging a marriage between her and a member of another noble family to ensure an alliance.For now, he intended to accept the emperors invitation. His personal guard was gearing up for the trip.Current gold stock at 7500.
