Lore: The Land of the Province ofCapeTown is now known as the Chemistrian Political Region of Dwarfdom

I become lord of Dwarfdom and am in charge of the running of the scientific industry , Scientists are encouraged to enter the mines to catalogue the substances they find , once a rather un experienced Scientist got so enthusiastic about collecting substances the roof of the shaft fell on him ( :skull: ) the scientists are now at the forefront of knowledge , the Scientists thinking up clever ways to make everything easier ( over a long period of time ) , the mathematicians devising the dimensions and formulae and the Engineers making it all and putting it into place

Administration : continue enhancement of Education system , everyone who doesnt become a scientist , mathmetician or engineer can become a farmer , miner or join the military.I tell the most learnered at the acadamies to find a way of enhancing and mass producing @Gridnick 's “Sticky Fire”

Military : Continue construction of a “Great Wall of Dwarfdom”

Diplomacy : Send @Gridnick all tech discovered at my acadamies (Universities sort of ) and accept all deals and alliances

23

Lore: The hunters found something in a burned out library. The Documenters say its from before the plague, but is still a little unfinished. It seems to be a form of measurement.

Culture: increase fishing and research how to implement these measurement tools. Also improve and standardize them. Make the official religion Catholic. New law Instated: all citizens are required to own a weapon (spear and shield required, knife for slaves) and are allowed to carry them at all times. New law Instated: all raiders keep what they find but metals, artifacts, and maps take priority. These are given to Documenters for processing.

Diplomatic: send a boat to the Faroe Islands carrying beer in hopes of getting them less fearful. Also send a ship to Greenland to see if any are alive. Send a Rallie to the other province of Iceland, there he will rally a revolt against their ruler in favor of joining me.

Military: Prepare to invade the other province of Iceland. Send raiding ships to raid what’s left of Leinster.(two Thanes prepare, one goes off to raid.)

Adminstration
A system to improve the farming is established.
The best farmers is given the administrator title and will be each be assigned an area (called a cluster) consisting of land owned by 10 farmers (the ones chosen will be one of the people who live there) where they will administrate the other farmers they will be the people who, with the help of my tax-collectors, will collect taxes and be the ones who are responsible for the farmers wellbeing in the area (they will still have their own farm). ones a year Valentine Trask (my newly appointed administration assistant) will travel through the cluster and chose the best farmer who will be the new administrator. the administrators gets paid a 20 percent part of the tax they collect as pay.
If their a person find a new and better way to farm stuff they will get paid a prize the administrator will also get paid a price (this should get the administrators to focus on the education of the people in the cluster).
I will do the same with ranchers.
(basicly efectivising farming and set people to research better farming)

Militay
Looks for way to get metals for weapons and armor (Duncan Davison my newly promoted general and military adviser has come to me with the problem of my soldiers anger over the lack of materials). and constructs four ships for fast travel no other use is necessary

Diplomacy
Sends Forest Banister (my new high diplomat and diplomatic adviser) with ship as a diplomat to @Newf for discusion of a trade agreement… lets call call it TUST The United Surviver Traders. And sends Landen Eccleston (my best friend and first priest of Banjo) to talk with @phoriist. both will tell the others about Banjoism. also i accept @Newf offer.

25

Administrative: After securing the well being of my population for the immediate future i look to improve there living standards, having herd that farmers have already planted grapes i funnel extra resources into these farms to boost production. I also attempt to reform the government in the following way.
I sit at the top on a council, on this council i appoint Marco Faraldo as head of the armed forces, he will train and organize the deference of Amalfi, for now he is responsible for the navy and army until another can come and take charge of one of them. Duilio Bove is in charge of farming and fishing until another can take over one of them. Lino Bicchieri is to organize an academy, the focus of the academy will be to save what can be saved from the library of Amalfi. Adamo Aiello is put in charge of educating diplomats.
i suggest that Lino Bicchieri for example find a crude formula for gunpowder sins the earliest records of it in Europe is from the 13th century but just give me randome stuff and i will keep doing it until you say that there is nothing ells to be salvaged from it.

**Diplomatic:**Try to found the Union for Peace and Prosperity around the Mediterranean (U.P.P.M for short) and invite @Heilari as a member, the goal of the U.P.P.M will be to preserve the Peace in the Mediterranean and increase the wealth and prosperity of its members by open trade between them, at an initial stage this will be limited to resources only but will expand if the member wish it to be so. The invitation also includes a small shipment of wine from me to @Heilari asking for a trade of wine from me and in exchange get fish, i offer to use my ships for the transporrting if he rather use his for fishing then trade. @phoriist is allso sent a few barrels of wine as a token of my good will.

After hearing of the organised neighbor, Amalfi resews a small influx in population, Adamo Aiello is confident that this will lead to more candidates will step forward to prove there competence and by that ensuring themselves positions either on the council or as assistants of the current counselors, and i encourage him to find them.

Military: Marco Faraldo organizes the militia and strengthens the border patrols, he also reqests fund to fit all five ships whit equipment to turn them into warships, this however is denied and he is told to make two of them into warships and use the rest of his funds to make more basic ships for trade and fisching

26

We already have a N.A.A.

27

Administration: Send invitations to Irish, English, Welsh, Scottish and Icelandic Scholars to help research a strange resource found in the south of Wexford and Kilkenny, It is named Sulphur and another powder named Saltpeter, So called because it looks like Salt and its discoverer was named Peter (His nickname was Salt Peter because he LOVED the stuff) Leinster Scholars have suggested testing the powder with Charcoal. Also hire the head Irish Scholar leading the research to the Court to keep the King up to date with how the research is going.

Diplomacy: Offer Alliance to the Kingdom of Essex and the Kingdom of Reykjavik. Discuss fishing borders with the two Kingdoms.

Military Build more ships, Increase military strength. March into Cavan in a surprise attack and demand surrender of the Lord, Monaghan and Armagh join my cause out of fear of being killed, Donegal joins my cause out of Loyalty to @Newf Ardame’s father who helped them with Icelandic raiders, After Cavan being defeated I march on to Down and lay siege to the city of Belfast. Also send raiders to raid nearby coasts such as Iceland, England, Wales, Scotland, France etc.

Player Name: @Heilari

Administrative
It has been four long years after “The Catastrophe”, but with Arla’s fishing industry improved, the people are no longer in danger of starvation. The fishing boats bring in more than enough fish for the entire population. I focus much of my available resources to upgrade our agriculture, with a heavy focus on livestock and farming, as well as try and find Morea’s “special” resource(luxury, metals, supplies).

I appoint Nikodemos Katsaros, one of my Court Members, to be the Kefáli of Agriculture (Kefáli=head, so Head of Agriculture). He is in charge of maintaining food productions, as well as improving them.
I appoint Apostolos Colonomos, another Court Member, to be my Kefáli of Trade. He is in charge of making sure all the shipments are sent, received, and otherwise.
I appoint Lavrentios Xanthopoulos to be my Megálo Náv̱archos, or Grand Admiral. He is in charge of maintaining all naval ships and sailors, military or otherwise, as well as improving them.
I also appoint Yianni Colonomos to be my Genikós, or General, of all my land troops. He is in charge of maintaining proper training, as well as improving them to the best they can be.

Diplomatic
One day, an unknown ship sailed into Arla’s harbor. This was a great wonder, for no one had seen a ship that was not ours for over four years. Heil Ari went down to meet this new ship, and those who were on it. They brought gifts of wine, and they hailed from a land called “Amalfi”, and brought word from @Elderon Masdur, their leader. He proposed a Union for Peace and Prosperity around the Mediterranean. After much deliberation, Heil Ari accepted. There was much celebration that night, for we were not alone anymore.

Sends another, larger party and escort with food and supplies into Epirus, with hopes of contacting any signs of civilization there. If any are found, food and supplies are to be given to them, and an offer of trade between us.

Military
With the extra men from the community in Epirus, Genikós Colonomos begins to train them, as well as have our local blacksmiths find ways to improve their armor.
All the military troops that have a talent for being a náf̱ti̱, or sailor, are asked to become one. Almost a third of our troops become náf̱ti̱. Construction is started on Naval ships meant for military use.

LORE:

With the situation re-balanced and the people calmed, Grangid Ret begins work on several new projects in the hopes of furthering his peoples’ prosperity.

Grangid Ret also gives military control to @Vaurature in the event of war, but only when I am unable to post/I miss a turn.

ADMINISTRATION: With the situation under control, my hard labor system is removed. A basic free market economy is set up, with most goods being distributed at no cost, as the Grangidians are still in a state of emergency. The search for local resources is put at the top of the list (things like farming, mining, animals, etc), and basic research begins on better living conditions and trading. I also find a few administrators from among my people to join my Grangidiplute (local lore for “Many Leaders”), which is like a king’s court or something similar. I also urge my people to set up farms, especially corn, potatoes, and cotton.

DIPLOMATIC: I ask @Vaurature if he’d like to set up some trade routes between our people. I also scout out the surrounding area some more, as well as sending small groups of people to establish cities on the border of the region called “Georgia”.

The Vailen Empire and the Grangidian Empire have become scientifically, commercially, and militarily intertwined with the Treaty of Escarrix.

MILITARY: I begin a search for the brightest military minds among my people, and begin to establish a Grangidiquad (local lore for “Four Leaders”) of generals and admirals to begin setting up a military. I begin to research weapons, hunting, and set up a small fleet of coastal ships.

30

This Map Game is much better than the other one! :smile:

Admin: Set up village representative based council government. Two representatives from each town thing.

Diplomacy: Give out free bamboo instruments to boost morale and creativity! (Gotta get those brains chugging for research!)

Military: Try to make bamboo darts. (I love bamboo. :smiley:)

Administration
The people have arrived! I have now one Advisor (Olaf Nosek), who is helping me in Administration. We found we may plant grain here. Good for us, Mr. Nosek is coordinating the people to improve those speciality of Gdańsk.
Diplomatic
So they ARE other nations! I am so happy about that. I am sending Mr. Sadowski from my Court to Amalfi with a question about ratio (Supplies from me <-> Luxury for Amalfi) for eventual trade.
Military
Looks like I must do the Military myself. And I am recruiting more troops. I don’t have goods to satisfy the needs of better units, so I must temporary change priority from quality to quantity.

Vailen Nation Turn
Lore:
The New country of Vaile has risen from the ashes of the fall of the old world, it’s culture forming slowly to the Vailen Gods, worship of the main deity Decard(Protection, Destruction, Luck) Begins in all Churches, with shrines to the others in places of Significance. For instance, no farm, hunter’s lodge, or herbalist, is complete without a shrine to Orlan(Life, Earth, Animal).
The identity of the nation secured, Vaurature continues his planning.

Administration:
Develops agriculture, and starting renovations on the capital city(or Hamlet/whatever it is classified as, as of now) of Vaile (this is the name of the capital, not just the province.)

Diplomatic:
Agree to set up trade between my nation and @ManOfRet , asking for a Military Alliance in return. A diplomat is sent to the tribes to the north(Along the coast of course), asking if they would like to join the empire, pledging their skills to Vaile in return for the prestige of hosting an academy of Vailen Rangers. (Yes, i am asking Wood-elves to join my empire.) The Diplomat is also sent with a shipment of Vailen bows, fresh from the Bowyer, in recognition of their skills in Archery. (I didn’t name them Wood Elves for no reason now did I?)

Military:
Start sending the companies (around a hundred? Or should i use something other than Imperial Guard Standards?) of Rangers on Scouting missions, patrolling the province of Vaile. During which time, the development of a newer bow commences, something more capable of sending an arrow to farther distances. (to be clear, i’m starting research of the Vailen Longbow, a design that is basically a normal Longbow.)

33

@Vaurature I will accept your Military Agreement, as long as you will accept a Research Agreement in turn. I may not have much to offer you militarily, but the Grangidians can provide you with the manufacture of weapons, food, funds, and a small troop of men. We try to rely on our superior sciences to ward enemies off, rather than brute strength. However, there is much to be had in the way of Grangidian research.

PS - Here’s an addition to the Lore of the Grangidians:

We used to be part of a larger empire, the one that the Vailen people also arose from. However, each of our settlements took a different path after the Leistnief. They became focused on the military and the faith aspects of survival, while we intended to learn more about where this Leistniefer came from and how it devastated our way of life.

34

I accept your Research Alliance. The empire shall continue!
