Vows of vengeance: a fantasy civ quest

[Pyro Hawk]

Okay, one error I can see @sunrise The first sentence of the update says that the Elves of Stockholm are building a navy. Considering Stockholm is held by the Goblins, I think that's concerning...
This a valid plan sunrise?

[X] Plan Expanding and Purging Stockholm
-[X] [Additional Population] Second Pop is Elven at Hamar, Third is Half-Elven
-[X] [nobles] Always mounted
-[X] Send advisors [Trade Favour for Improved Hunters

-[X] Order front [Central Swedish Front to assault Stockholm with assistance of Warband Erikson and temporary reinforcements]
-[X] Study Woodworking [Faster Clearing of Fields, for example, by improving/creating a harness for oxen allowing them to assist in removing boulders, logs and stumps]

Make nobles our knight equivalents... which they were becoming already really... Send Advisors to boost the rate and quality at which they build their navy, found a settlement at the Goblin Camp because I want to also found at Stockholm, and it gives us an overland route to there from Oslo. Need to work at incorporating the Hunters of the North so we control the entire route sometime soon... Also, making this another mixed race settlement

The Study action is to see if we can reach 'Clear Fields action gives 2 cleared fields'... Or if not that, work towards it, seeing as famers with cattle now need 3 fields for optimal production. Which reminds me, once Stockholm's been cleared, we're going to need to do a LOT of 'improve production' actions...

Train Warriors to give our new settlement it's 'Minimum 1 Warriors per settlement'... Finally, negotiating with the elves to assist with the attack on Stockholm this turn, sending a bunch of troops to the Central Swedish Front for this turn only, and then ordering that Front to attack Stockholm with the Warband.

Is the winning vote

 

[sunrise]

Next post will be up tomorrow, the goblins up more of a fight then expected(they rolled with a 1D100+5 vs your 1D100+30 but still won several rolls).

 

[sunrise]

The plan for the attack on Stockholm was simple, Leif Ericson would wait for the fighters from Norway, the elves from the south, hunters and scouts from hunters of the north and the dwarven warriors and would launch the attack once all had gathered at his camp at the lake. This force would be bigger, better trained and outnumber the goblins at Stockholm sadly this was not what happened this year.

the elves had send a warband of 60 men north lead by a young noble with two orders, join the attack and keep your force intact to defend the settlements in southern Sweden. His advance was a slow one with time taken to check for traps and ambushes and the news of his march reached the main goblin forces days while he was still days away. In response the goblins decided there only chance would be to attack and defeat both warbands facing them before they could unite.

The goblins knew where Leif's warband was and decided to attack him with all of the goblins in Sweden save a small group harassing and delaying the elves. The goblins managed to avoid Leif's scouts and got close his camp before one of the hunters spotted the approaching goblins. When the goblin charge reached the camp the warriors where still organizing and several warriors fought and died alone before
the suvivors formed groups that fought back to back. In the melee that followed the archers suffered heavy losses as our warriors regrouped.

As the battle continued Leif reorganized the fighters with a line of spearmen keeping the goblins away form the wounded and the remaining archers and the nobles launching charges where the goblins threatened to break the line. The goblins tried to break the line for several more minutes before retreating back towards Stockholm and the warband remained at its camp to threat the wounded before heading west to meet the men coming from Oslo.

The elvish force had spend a week skirmishing with the goblins until the dead of the forces leader lead to most of them return south. A small number of elves remained and fought a series of hit and run attacks in the following weeks.

After linking up with the troops from Norway the warband returned to Stockholm with a large force that included a group of dwarven warriors and several groups of hunters serving as scouts. Two weeks before they reached Stockholm goblins started to raid the warband once more but with thirty horsmen these raiders where repelled. At the battle of Stockholm the warband faced a depleted goblin force, the battles earlier in the year had lead to heavy losses that they where unable to replace. Leif ordered a advance of the shield wall supported by archers and kept the horsemen in reserve.

The result was a one sided defeat of the goblins with the horsemen chasing the handful of survivors as they fled. Stockholm and with it all of central Sweden was captured and it was time to talk about the aftermath. Besides plans to have more spears and fewer bows for our warriors what was decisions where made?

The single meeting where the plans are made for the tribe is getting ineffective, how is this handled?
[govern] Local meetings
Each settlement holds its own meeting to make plans
The faction actions are spread over the settlements with mostly random actions taken.
gives one more faction action.
[govern] Keep the central meeting
Actions need to be taken to increase transportation.
Unlocks options to take over faction actions by the players
[govern] Make Leif Erikson our king
The tribe is ruled by a single king and his orders are carried out by the nobles.
Unlocks options to take over faction actions by the players
[govern] write in
Create a plan to rule the tribe

Actions will impact the society of the tribe and that will impact the actions taken by the factions.
The tribe now has a Legitimacy(decent) and centralization(low) values indicating the strength and trust in its government.
No actions this turn, next turn there will be a expanded list as the tribe feels its safe enough to focus on new projects.

 

[Pyro Hawk]

Well, this is interesting... What are you guys thoughts?

 

[Uhtread]

I kinda want to keep the meeting. Do we just need to breed more oxen to up transport?

 

[sunrise]

breeding more oxen and horses for transport on land, training messengers, assigning ships and sailors to the job are ways to keep central control.
But with all three options you will need to expand the tribes transportation at least somewhat.

 

[Pyro Hawk]

[X] [bards] The help given by the hunters of the north.
[X] [govern] Keep the central meeting

Okay, going for these myself.

The Hunters of the North because that should help us get to the stage where we can integrate them into our tribe/nation/country.
Central Meeting because I like it... and I can already think of a few ways we can work on improving transportation.

There's developing Courier Ships, building a Large Ship or two for continuous transportation between regions, creating a mounted messenger corps...

How does this look? Do we need more food actions? I like our proto republic and I want to reinforce it. Salt seems like a no brained and stone is the future.

Seems decent for now, but next turn we definitely need to look into improving food and transportation (again)...

 

[sunrise]

As part of the ongoing rule changes:
The way the tribe grows is now when the tribe produces 3 food more per year then it eats a new group of tribemen will be added to the tribe.
upcoming changes include:
swapping wood/iron from a amount stored to mines/workers allow x action that use iron per turn(probably next turn).
some action will cost econ and the amount of econ available is based on the number of markets, sheep, salterns and other building under economy and small amount based on the tribes numbers(in 4 turns to give you some time to build up the economy.).
nobles/warriors have a econ cost per turn as upkeep.

The main topic of the debates this year was about the goverment of the tribe and if changes needed to be made about how the tribe was run where it was decided that the tribe should increase its control of the more remote settlements. This was done by building a village hall at Oslo where scribes recored the decisions of the meeting and kept track of the plans for the year.
To coordinate the parts of the plan carried out at the other settlements a group of mounted messengers was formed to spread the plans and collect reports on what is happing in the other settelments.

A group of dwarves arrived at Hamar to thank the tribe for defeating the goblins in Sweden after they had heard about the victory from songs sung by visiting hunters. They brought 5 swords as a gift for our warriors.

The advisors send south to Copenhagen report that the first three galleys of elfish navy have been completed they are used to patrol the waters north of Copenhagen where they belief they can prevent goblins ships from reaching the baltic or their settlemtents in southern Sweden. Two more galley are under construction at the shipyard intended for the city of danzig to allow their warriors to reach the weser faster then when using the land route.

At Oslo there was far less bread for sale then in the years before as more and more farmers started raising cattle and new hayfields where added to feed the tribes livestock.
Oslo also started to importing food from the other settlements for the workers of the new quarry and saltern expansion.

[grain] We need large estates to grow grain.
The factions will create 2 estates each year for the next 3 years.

The factions will clear 4 estates each year for the next 4 years.

Okay, not really sure what I want to do this turn, though it probably includes creating the library and the necessary actions, setting up a merchant fleet and probably the first Grain option... Not sure what else. Oh! Probably moving the Warning to the Norwegian Front.

I do like the new system for resources sunrise. Simplifies things a bit whilst not losing out on needing to plan around your supply.

Can we still build up a reserve though? Or is it best to use as much as we can each turn?

That said, Night and I'll get round to responding/voting/working on the plan in the morning...

Nice to see this is back.

Click to shrink...

You can not build up reserves, that would defeat one of the benefits of the new system: less to keep track of.
