General Discussion

True. But they haven't found anyone and being on open terrain with a possible hostile force nation out there makes one rather be safe than sorry.

It's almost breaking the rules.

" An almost hostile kingdom "

Actually, Caexian Orcs attacked Sessauan villages, not the other way around.

Exactly almost hostile. They know that a village was sacked and so they are staying careful. The full legion marching is how they show diplomacy as a sign of strength.

So you attack me .. than attack me again .. than throw 6,000 troops at me as a diplomatic measure?

It's a polite way for an orc of saying gimmie those horses please.

Twice? They only attacked one village and yes moved the legion in as a diplomatic process since they don't know if it is just a random tribe or a kigndom.

They attacked a village in your ModMark, and they attacked in my ModMark.

Well they aren't my orcs since I didn't send any raiding parties. The only orcs that got yours was Taskmaster Dannoch's scouting party.

They are your orcs. Just because you didn't send them doesn't mean they didn't show up on their own whim. You can't control the whim of every single orc.

Well that was something I didn't know since I haven't gotten around to reading your D2D and didn't know Talis had done a mod mark for you

I wish I could get a ModMark.

Theo, never answered my question. Could a castle's basic defenses like rocks or burning pitch be used here from atop the walls to be dumped down on the enemy or would that just be considered fluff?

Its coming. I'm working so can't exavtly write a mod mark. I am almost finished with Ezria's which I finish at home and then work on yours.

All I have to say on sleeping in plate armor is go run all day, put on really really heavy armor, try to sleep, then see how fit to fight you are the next day. Having to have someone help you up is yes and no. Sleeping in, say, boiled leather or your.plate mail padding, maybe chainmail I can realistically see. Plate not so much. Also should be taken into account that caexi is orcs and thus have a different musculature but yeah. I can see points from both sides. Sleeping in full camp gear was shitty enough, I would hate to sleep with metal on.

Just fluff, Ezria.

I'm gonna let Jaymes post first in our thread since he's the attacker.

Although I did not say so, the orc raiders in the modmark were not part of the Caexi scouting party, they were a small group of independent orcs who stumbled across the town and thought it would make good sport.

*EDIT* Also, I'm sorry I haven't been able to write up modmarks for Ejrahk or Caexi yet. I've had a lot of schoolwork. Tomorrow I will have the time to write both.

Hey guys, sorry for not being active this week. Once again, English class tightened the noose and I believe it requires all my attention if I want to make a good D2D post in taking over the Republic of Ever-Winter. I will most likely make my D2D post tomorrow unless unforseen events cause me to be unable to. I will also get my Diplomacy thread up with Ezria and all.

Actually Zhufor Jaymes misheard his recruiter so he is still going to be around for awhile.

Oh! Yay! That gives me a much easier time in life. Alright, wonderful. Good to hear.

What I'm laughing about as I'm writing this ModMark is that neither of you have let your troops rest since campaign began.

I mean literally ; rest. I don't mean " not fight. " I mean, sleep!

Oh yes I did, check out summery after Turn 6 when I posted. Says the following below:

-Seeing no pursuit the 3rd Legion will rest for the remaining day. the 2nd Beserker Tear (LI) will be the night watch while only a few are watching the walls and entrance to the city for activity.

Turn 7 was still on that same day as turn six so saw no need to repeat it because it was the forth day stuff for turns 6/7. Turn 8 the following "day" in the battle thread but more like months according to the timeline, is when I acted so yes sir I rested me troops

This battle is looking alright though my mistake was beleiving his scouts went into the city after dark started falling. Should have just targeted them from the get go that'd be 500 dead and gone lol oh well.

EDIT: WOOT WOOT as soon as I post my next D2D I'll have 2nd place for cultural and then my military now, in company numbers, equals that of Ezria so very soon I may become the best rated nation!! YAY!! Lol should have probably only done 4 companies instead of 6 though...don't like having over 10% of my population military but at least it's not as high as Ezria's or as high as a human or orc with those 2 MP per 1000. Probably go crazy, personally, if I had one of those races, but then again companies will die in the Agrina battle so guess that compensates *shrugs*

Well Jaymes you have to think the quality does apply for something more than quantity.

I had a crazy long day, been running around since noon and just got a chance to sit down. I had to see my recruiter and then run a bunch of other errands. I'm gonna try and get something up for both battle threads but no gurantees. Right now my mind is pretty toast and I don't trust myself to be thinking up battle plans. xD By tomorrow morning for sure i'll have something. Apologies if i'm slowing anything up.

What's a cool name for the war between Mille Sessau and Caexi?

from Sessau's side - the Barbarian's War, Settler's War

From Caexi's side - the Human War, First War of Conquest
