[X][GA] Unlock military reforms. (-2 Temp Diplo, -2 Temp Martial, -1 Temp Mystic, -1 Temp Culture)
War was coming and the future seeing of both the priesthood and the military predicted it would be within the next generation or two.
Times were good for now and looked like they would be for some time, but war was coming. The People had to get ready for it and so they took the steps to do under the final generation of Cadlon Bronlyn's reign.
More palisades were constructed and now the majority of the settlements in the Greenbay region were walled off and protected from unexpected attacks. The Maradysh also followed this strategy as their newest settlements in the Sunrise Plains received their own palisades, leaving all of the Maradysh settlements with their own walls to protect them.
The moves to continue uniting the People were also made as more of the Maradysh leadership was brought under the central leadership in Greenbay and in general, more authority was given to the Cadlon across the Arthwyd so that things could be better organised.
But more was needed and seeing that the People would not have for themselves, Arthryn intervened and took action to guide the People down the right path. Just as she had in the past, Arthryn choose a champion to guide the People.
As was the preference of the goddess, Arthryn picked someone from outside the People, someone who had insights and perspectives that members of the People lacked and could bring those insights and perspectives to the People.
It had been Ymarn for the Arthwyd-Merntir War and it had been Evalyn for the Vervov's Invasion and the First Arthwyd-Caradysh War. Now it was Evatine for the upcoming Arthwyd-Forluc War.
In many ways, Evatine was a curious choice as she was born amongst the Forluc. She was enslaved after her family was on the losing side of a rebellion and she got brought to Caermyr. In the capital of the Colryd, Evatine was able to acquire her freedom and earn a place as a member of the Colryd Royal Guard.
It was in Caermyr when she was seventeen winters old that Arthryn chose Evatine, empowering her with her Blessing and that of Ymarn. However, Evatine didn't just get the Arthrynite Blessings like Ymarn and Evalyn did as Arthryn allowed the barbarian woman to tap into some of her divine power.
Making her way north, Evatine found herself thrust into a position of leadership thanks to being the Champion of Arthryn, finding herself socialising and interacting with the Cadlon, the Royal Family and the most senior priestesses and warriors.
With her words being listened to with the divine weight that they had behind them, Evatine quickly pointed out how the military of the Arthwyd was lacking. She claimed that while it might have been sufficient in the past, times had changed and the military of the Arthwyd had to be updated as she believed that it wouldn't stand up to the military of the Forluc, her birth people.
Evatine was certain that the Arthwyd military needed some reforms to bring up to fighting shape for this day and age and with the backing of Arthryn herself, the Champion of Arthryn was able to begin putting some into place.
Sitting down in her bed and leaning back, Evatine closes her eyes as she considers her options. The Arthwyd aren't as bad as she feared and while Greenbay lacks the sheer variety of Caermyr, it has its own set of riches and attractions. There are no slaves, everyone is fed and everywhere just looks so nice and organised.
Now she has to keep it safe from the people that she was born amongst. A tall order given the state of their military as for all of their riches and advancements, the Arthwyd are shockingly outdated when it comes to their military. Distaining warfare as a barbaric affair if one that is ultimately necessary, they have done the bare minimum for their military despite the Catclaws and Cateyes being prestigious, respected and influential.
As things are, the doctrine and organisation of the Arthwyd military needs updating. While the Cateyes are sufficient and a good addition to Arthwyd military, the Catclaws need to be reorganised and updated so they can stand up to their contemporary rivals on the battlefield.
While they could keep them as they are, Evatine doesn't consider that to be an acceptable option, no matter how pleased and happy it would leave the Catclaws, the Cateyes and the rest of the Arthwyd.
Evatine sees three options into which to recognised the Claws into. The first is to copy the regulars of the Forluc, of which her father and brothers were once part of. Armed with spears and shields, they are a mobile force that can be moved about as needed and are capable of holding the line if needed. Furthermore, it will be cheap and easy to reequip the Catclaws if this route is taken.
The second option is to copy the Colryd Royal Guard that Evatine was once part of, which is quite similar to the first. Also wielding spears, the Catclaws will focus on being tough and hard to displaced, holding the line in battle as they sacrifice mobility in exchange for being able to staying power to hold their own. Wearing and wielding heavier defences that will protect them whilst slowing them down, the Catclaws will also wield a secondary weapon for when their spears are broken or left ineffective.
The third option is somewhat between what the Catclaws currently are and what the Colryd Royal Guard are like. While heavy infantry like the Royal Guard who focus on strong defence and staying power over being mobile, the Catclaws will wield a mixture of ranged and melee weapons. They would have set of javelins to strike at the enemy from range while they would have both a sword and a mace for melee. A sword for living opponents and a mace for undead opponents, the smaller weapons will be easier to wield and use and leave the Catclaws more mobile than if they had a long spear.
Choose one of the following for the future of the Catclaws:
[] [Claws] Keep them as they are. (+2 Prestige, Warriors are Happy)
[] [Claws] Heavy Mixed Infantry. (-1 Temp Wealth, -3 Temp Econ, -2 Prestige, Warriors are Unhappy)
[] [Claws] Light Spear Infantry (-5 Prestige, Warriors are Unhappy)
[] [Claws] Heavy Spear Infantry (-1 Temp Wealth, -3 Temp Econ, -4 Prestige, Warriors are Unhappy)
Evatine also needs to figure out how the leadership of the Arthwyd military will be organised. The closest method to the current way of doing things would be independent command. Working similar to the fearsome Boarfolk Tribes, each unit of Catclaws and Cateyes will have its own leader who is equal to everyone else and in times of war, an overall leader will direct them into battle and determine how the war is waged.
The second method is like the first, but more organised. Rather than have each unit be independent, leadership will be organised for a local area such the military within a large settlement or an area with a few small settlements in it. These local leaders would then be organised under an overall leader during times of war.
The last two methods are similar to each other. Both are based around having a centralised leadership and a clear hierarchy that is to be followed as all of the Arthwyd military is organised in a single chain of command, no matter where they are based. This hierarchy can either be strict one where the positions of everyone and their authority is clearly defined or it can be a looser one where more initiative and authority is conceded to on the scene leadership.
Choose one of the following for the new leadership set up of the Arthwyd military:
[] [Leader] Independent (-1 Centralisation, +1 Prestige, ???)
[] [Leader] Localised (-1 Centralisation, ???)
[] [Leader] Loose Hierarchy (+1 Hierarchy, ???)
[] [Leader] Strict Hierarchy (+1 Hierarchy, +1 Centralisation, ???)
There is also how else she is going to improve the Arthwyd military. The bronze weapons that are so eagerly asked for in Caermyr are a given, yet Evatine feels that there is more that she can do to make the military of the Arthwyd better.
Choose two of the following as further parts of the Arthwyd military reforms:
[] [Reform] Tactical Formations (???)
[] [Reform] Bronze Armour (Improved Relationships with Trade Partners, -8 Temp Wealth, -4 Temp Econ, ???)
[] [Reform] Watchtowers (Unlocks Build Watchtowers Action)
[] [Reform] Supply Trains (-4 Temp Econ, ???)
[] [Reform] Tactical Phases (???)
Okay, you got an Admin/Martial Hero and your first Hero in about ten updates. As some of you might have realised, Evatine will be taking over your actions and the narrative for this is that as the Champion of Arthryn, personally chosen by the goddess herself, everyone, including the Cadlon, is going to listen to her.
Instead you get to vote on your military reforms. The different options could be explained in the update, but if you have any further questions, feel free to ask them. You won't be getting everything in this single set of reforms however and the impact of these reforms may last for a long time. Whatever is chosen here could stick with you for dozens of updates before you are able to change them.
There will also be a short side story covering Evatine's past.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.
