But knights pay for their own equipment so that would be cheaper. That's why we have bull knights and stuff, because it's cheaper for us to let them get all the equipment together.

Yes we could train a special company to use the vaporcycles. In fact thats propably going to be the extent of their military applications. Used as scouting, light calvary unit but at the same time the idea of knights on bikes charging an enemy with a sort of gun lance device appeals to the cool in me. Also freddy having a motor cycle sounds cool as shit

Of course, the trade off is that they wouldn't answer to us directly if they were a Knightly Order, so their support wouldn't be a guarantee. I'd prefer shouldering the cost for that alone. We're hardly strapped for cash at the moment anyhow.
True, we can shoulder the costs on our own.
But honestly? I don't think using the cycles for heavy cav is the best idea, for light cav they should be great but you can let a horse find its own way while you hack and slash your way through enemies, that's not possible for a bike, any jostle or hindrance will necessitate a action from the driver. Which makes it less then ideal in a full charge.

Heavy cav isn't ideal for Ostland's environment anyhow, heavy forests and all, so using them as Light cav should be fine.
What do you mean by gun spears?

This is probably a silly question @torroar but do we know if Ostermark has taken advantage of all the different Whiskey recipes that Reinhardt learnt in Albion and started building a whiskey distillery?
I ask you not only because it would be a shame that once the reserves of Whiskey will run out there won't be any way of getting more until the Albionese decide to lift the Mists, but also because it would be a pretty cool Stewardship option to have both Ostermark and Ostland (since one has the recipes and the other the expertise in the production of alcoholic brewages) working together in creating the Great Whiskey Distillery.

Also we want peat for the peat whiskey and AFAIK ostland does not have many swamps or wetlands, but Nordland has lots last I remember.

It hasn't even been a full turn since Accursed Albion, my man. They'll probably get up to it in the following turns.
I was looking at some custodian art and saw how they had a gun on their spear. Now i know we ain't having bolters or anything but what if a gun was attached to a spear in a certain way so that right before a charge hits the knights could let off a shot into the enemy. I'd say it would be pretty effective at making calvary charges more effective
Those exist. They are a chaos dwarf invention. And are as rule of cool as one would think. Would be a decent upgrade for our halbreads in the far future when we have examples and knowledge of their existence.
Would the dawi take umbrage on stealing chaos dwarf technology? It ain't guild.

Fireglaive is what its called.
I think we are mostly covered there since we already made our own version of bayonets that will turn handgunners into makeshift spearmen if enemies ever get close to them.

didn't we explicitly fix that problem by improving our cannon designs using dwarfen methods/secrets to get them to dwarf levels of reliable and safe , we were even brought up on charges of stealing guild secrets because of it
AFAIK it only made them a bit more reliable and accurate. Misfires still happen.

Just for the indirect reminder of the chaos dwarfs.
Hey would it be possible to arm a future Army of the Coast with Titan Cannons so they have a good chance to take out large ships? How effective could they be against say a Black Arc?
If it is, then the Dark Elves would have to think twice about attacking Ostland's coast.

Black Arks are effectively floating cities. One or even several Titan Cannons won't do jack against them.
As for the idea of an "Army of the Coast", I'm not against the idea, but I wouldn't want to strain our manpower more than we already are with our three existing armies. Maybe in the somewhat distant future?
Oh I figured that it would help in wrecking those things so the Dark Elves would be wary when coming to attack us. Oh well it was a fun idea.
As for getting the Army of the Coast, I want them to show up later say during Magnus or at best Karola's turn as Elector Count. If we manage to deal with the Beastmen tide without suffering as much losses as in the 4th Vampire War, it could be possible to get them eventually. It would put us on the same level as Middenland in terms of military power, which will be helpful if any more enemies come to pick a fight with us.
Did you think I wanted them now or something? I know it will take time to get enough population to support them.

Nah, just voicing my opinion on the "Army of the Coast" idea.
Ostland isn't far behind Middenland in terms of military strength anyhow. Ostland has 3 armies to Middenland's 4. Well, until 2 of Middenland's got mulched by the Middle Mountaisn recently.
True.
But anyway, if we still get more turns after the Elector Meeting, what do you want to focus on for plans?
For military I really want to get additional artillery and improving the militia further. As for research, maybe start looking to vaporcycles or great volley guns. Not sure about the others yet.

technically we have a forth army on par with the main army if we count the mercenaries
I think we should get wofilia checked out by some ghyran wizards. Honestly it's kind of cruel to at least not attempt to solve treat his condition
