|Content=<p>Sir Dominic,<br />
 +
<br />

I think that Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach would be a good Lord for Dale. It is a central region and If he can put 3 good RCs in that region then they will supply militia for Dale, Salta , Obando and Tabost. I will supply him with 800 gold which should be enough to put 3 level 1 RCs in Dale. If they are of reasonable quality We can expand them.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Dale also needs a granary and a scouts guild, we can help him with gold for that too.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Respects</p>

<br />

This letter is about history. It speaks of the days that inspire the present. It is an offer and a chance.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
In some three days time I will receive family in Domus. A small city that sits in the middle of our continent. There will be those among you that recall the days of the Imperium. The heights of Highmarch. The Path of Ashes. The merging of the Horselords and the Redwing. The days that saw the blue turn to gold. An arm is reached to Perdan where yet again more are found that hail from a long legacy that finds terminus in blood. Quickening veins and stirring memory. Not blood shed idly but blood that gave life. Family.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Remember the days of Greater Xavax, the Era that saw great Migrations, where legend was made flesh and walked among us. You will know that they do still. To those that hold this dear and remember, know that you are welcome at my hearth. It is a select gathering but we will know our own. Make up your mind for there is time needed for traveling. This is nothing more than a gathering to once more look upon one another. To break bread and share wine as we once did. Our people. Of the olden days and those that came after but never had a chance to witness the time of their parents or simply those of which they descend. It is not lost. Only hope is forgotten at times. But you can gain it again.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Sans import other than legacy, you will know welcome. The Castellan will permit you entry into my castles and I will welcome you in the gathering.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Wings unfurled,</p>

<br />

There is now a chance to tidy up our duchies by you three region Lords transferring allegiance.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I would like to see Glinmar &amp; Hillmar transfer to my duchy of Anarionath, and see Avamar transfer from Anarionath to the duchy of Sirion. I would actually lose income on this since Avamar is richer than the other two regions combined, but I support such a move because it's geographically neater.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I hope that the Lords of these three regions agree and are willing to transfer. I hope that Speaker Ivo also supports this change.<br />

<p>As the lord of Avamar, you can change the allegiance of your region to a different duchy. At this time, Avamar is a part of the duchy of Anarionath.</p>
 +
 +
<p>You can switch to other duchies in the following situations:</p>
 +
 +
<ol>
 +
<li>When at least one region of that duchy is a bordering neighbour of your region.</li>
 +
<li>When you are in a region of that duchy. This means you can switch to any duchy you desire simply by travelling there and pledging your allegiance.</li>
 +
<li>By meeting a duke in person, by both of you being in the same region.</li>
 +
<li>By a duke visiting your region, by travelling to your region.</li>
 +
<li>By meeting a duke at a tournament you attend.</li>
 +
</ol>

<p>If the duchy you switch your region to belongs to a different realm, you and all your knights will automatically join that realm. Your knights will not follow you to the new realm if they are already banished from that realm.</p>

Your statement does not match reality. If that was true then no reorganization in any realm would be possible, but we see that many realms have sensibly structured contiguous regions in their duchies that were obviously planned. Reorganization goes on all the time in many realms. Nothing strange about it, its absolutely normal.<br />

|Content=<p>Says the man that called for the very idea. Perhaps save the insults for later, after you've countered my point? I could care less about other realms, as Sirion has been historically the pride of the island, and as such, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard then others, rather then just "reaching the same level." Oaths are not sets of clothes to be shucked off and replaced at any whim. While there is a great many reasons for a Lord to swear fealty to a new Duke, "because it make the map look nicer" is a rather poor reason. It's not as if there is any monetary or control reasons to do so: the peasants and merchants care less if the region they work is contiguous with the rest of it's Duchy.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Perhaps you should try to personally message the lords you wish to swap to you, and convince them that you are a better Duke then the one they have. I hear lower tax rates and more engaged Dukes tend to get larger duchies....<br />

The only person who issued an insult was you. I just explained how you were wrong. Clearly, plainly, demonstrably wrong. Its not an insult to be proven wrong. But you said of me "Says the man that called for the very idea" which is an insult implying I'm insincere and only speaking for defending my idea.<br />

Now I'm going to resist the impulse to insult you back and let it rest.<br />

Lord Leofric and Lord Brock have Sworn allegiance to Anarionath. With that, the Duchy is now complete. All our rearward areas are gathered into a single duchy.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Glinmar    - Lord Leofric Kubo<br />
 +
Hillmar    - Lord Brock Ketchum<br />
 +
Sir Temple - Duke Lorenzo Falconi<br />
 +
Tallbar    - Lord Tyr Erickson<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Anarionath is a duchy of some importance to our history. Sir Temple, its seat, is the birthplace of Elvendom on this continent. Sir Temple was the first capital of Sirion and the site of the First Temple of the Elves. It is the most Holy place to our culture.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If at some point in the future we can take the region of Rollbar, which has a decent gold income, then all regions in the duchy will be linked. Not likely in the near future, but we can wish.<br />

How can you prioritize the Nivemus capital (wherever that is) over the heartland of Sirion? You seem more concerned with resurrecting Nivemus than with the traditional strength of Sirion which is its heartland.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Abandon this dangerous idea. I am the Duke of Anarionath and have sworn oaths to protect it. I will not allow it to be abandoned.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If you want to take a particular region then there are at least two poor regions we can abandon, Dale and Obando. Every single region in Anarionath is much better than those two regions. If you have a problem with that assessment then you don't care about facts.<br />

|Content=<p>I prioritize Sirion City, as it is our historical capital, and I prioritize regions that aren't in the middle of nowhere, far away from the rest of the nobility on the island. Making the realm look like swiss cheese is also a very poor choice, as we struggle to hold regions when they are far apart for a multitude of reasons. You are the one not caring about facts, just some dusty tomes in someone's basement...and <em>even then</em>, Sir temple has an equal (or lesser even) weight with regards to our shared realm history to Ashforth, so even that is a completely irrelevant talking point.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
You can have your damn titles if they are so painfully important to you, no one is saying you can't. It's that it is stupid to have those titles in the lands that we shouldn't be holding when there are perfectly good lands available <strong>right here.</strong><br />

|Content=<p>Quickly I would like to weigh in as the former long time Lord of Sir Temple. There was some talk of abandoning her in the past when I took the city on, but we chose to keep it. The main reason people felt we should keep it was the infrastructure and recruitment centers that were there. That was not an illogical concern.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
That said, though, I am one of the voices that is in favor of moving toward contiguous borders. Ashforth has slightly more gold than Sir Temple and is in a strategically important location, and would nicely add to our contiguous borders. It would not immediately be productive, but its population is actually fairly good right now, and when I was briefly lord there, I actually invested a LOT of my gold in the local economy. So it is probably in pretty good shape. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Regarding cultural history and what not, I do not consider those to be real arguments either in favor or in opposition to EITHER of these locations, whether it is Sirion's historical ownership of the Temple or Nivemus's capital being Ashforth. If you have a long enough memory and a knowledge of history, virtually all northern cities and rural communities are "historically ours" and all of them have been at various times under our banner, or sometimes in the control of rogues, or perhaps even enemies. Sirion's history can not be a prison to lock ourselves into... we need to make rational decisions for today based on the current geopolitical environment. Sir Temple is no less important to Sirion if we were to withdraw from the city than if we were to keep it. Ashforth would just be more important to us in comparison, if we were to make that decision.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
And my opinion is that we should. Ashforth is more valuable to us, and more useful to us than is the Temple. Importantly, our firm western wall of regions also means that no one is going to realistically "sneak behind" us to take it. If they somehow did, we could respond quickly and easily. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
In addition to this, I would like to address one thing regarding duchies as well. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I would like to see one region (at least) from the Duchy of Osmeneliath shift to the Duchy of Oroya, for two main reasons: first the reasonable spread of regions across our duchies in general. Osmeneliath has 5, and I have only 2... having one move over would give Osmeneliath 4 and Oroya 3. Still uneven, but much closer and would make the whole realm much more equal. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Secondly is income. Oroya city is still not giving me much in the way of gold and my personal gold reserves are nearly gone. I can keep subsidizing myself for a little while, but income is important, and any opportunity to get more (as Duke) would be helpful. </p>

<br />

Regarding Sir Temple. First thing to say is that  it is my region, and my duchy, and I take my duties very seriously to my people, Lords and Commoners alike. Moreover the cultural significance of the region is priceless to a man like me who values culture. If Sir Temple is given up without overwhelmingly good reasons, I will consider it a betrayal of Anarionath by the realm and I will be leaving Sirion.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Secondly this argument Sir Rearden has set up about Sir Temple vs Ashforth, is a straw man... a fake argument to justify abandoning Sir Temple. We can easily keep both regions by abandoning a bad rural region instead. Either Obando or Dale are prime candidates for abandonment, two regions so poor that we haven't even bothered to appoint a Lord for them.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Now to Sir Reardens prejudice about only keeping Contiguous regions ie only those regions joined up to the rest of the realm. It is dangerous nonsense that if applied would fatally weaken the realm.. The whole of Anarionath Duchy plus Avamar is non contiguous. To follow Sir Rearden's logic we would have to abandon at least 4 out of 5 of these excellent regions. The idea is as mad as anything! These regions are under total control and present no difficulty in administration. They provide food and wealth and strategic depth that Sirion has always relied upon in times of war. Plus if we abandon them it will create a bigger vacuum in the north enticing other realms to have a go.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As a military man I cannot emphasize how bad Sir Reardens ideas are strategically. If we start abandoning non contiguous regions we abandon the north and those things that have kept us safe throughout the ages. Our position holding the north with no rivals behind us, our strategic depth, some of our best regions. Why this knight thinks these ideas are good I cannot fathom. No enemy throughout the ages has ever been as dangerous to Sirion as these bad ideas.<br />

<br />
 +
For Sirion!<br />

 +
|Content=<p>I'm a patient man, High Commander, but I must admit to being long since tired of your lectures to us being justified by your being a "military man."<br />
 +
<br />
 +
My family has among the known world's most accomplished military backgrounds, with a long list of strategists and commanders that have led armies and won wars going back to the now-drowned continent of Atamara. I personally resent the constant implication that you, more than anyone else, understand military strategy and that the rest of us are mewling children who know nothing of war and conflict. I furthermore resent the implication that disagreeing with you -- as you and I frequently have over the issue of milita, and other issues -- is some kind of dispute between someone who knows the military, and someone who doesn't. I would match my tactical knowledge with any soul alive. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I will remind you that I am the last man who led Sirion <em>into</em> and then <em>out of </em>war in my service as Lord Speaker. I take your comment about how "bad" my ideas are strategically as a personal insult, and one so aggravating that I am tempted to cross swords over it, though I have yet to find anyone in this realm or beyond that can match my swordsmanship, so my likely victory would not bring me much satisfaction.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
More to the point, though, I would like you to stop making gigantic leaps of inference and telling the people of this realm that I said something, when I said nothing of the kind. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
For instance, my exact words were that I favored "moving <em><u><strong>toward</strong></u></em> contiguous borders."  I did not call for an <em>entirely</em> contiguous realm... if I did then I would have to advocate for the loss of Tallbar too... but given Tallbar's incredible food production that would be disastrous for us. What I favor -- and pay attention to this so that you don't continue to misrepresent what I say -- is that we have a mindfulness to the importance of being <em><strong><u>as contiguous as possible</u></strong></em>. When presented the choice between holding either Sir Temple or Ashforth, given the near-identical nature of the two (with Ashforth being slightly better on gold), the benefit of making the realm more contiguous was a positive argument in favor of shifting to Ashforth. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
And while I'm listing my grievences, if you <strong><u><em>ever</em></u></strong> accuse me of making a "fake argument" again, I will personally ride to Sir Temple and cut your head off myself. Such an insult is beyond my tolerance and I will not stand for it. And for the record, I am not "this Knight," as though I am some young, anonymous sellsword. I am the former Lord Speaker of Sirion, and currently both a Duke and a Governor. If you are going to lie and misrepresent what I say, the least you could do is show an ounce of respect for the blood I have shed for this realm. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Back to your absurd statement, you act like I have some kind of burning desire to offload Sir Temple, entirely ignoring the fact that <em>I was its previous Governor</em>, Falconi. Much of the infrastructure of the city is my doing. I loved my estate there, and deeply cherish its people. I have no interest or intention of "justifying" anything, I was simply weighing in on the debate about what we are to do, and where we are to go. If my perspective doesn't win out, I have no intention of throwing a temper tantrum or rage-quitting my realm as you seem to intend. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Incidentally, speaking of fake arguments, you created an entire scenario which is not only not recommended by me, but also a complete misrepresentation of what would happen anyway. If we abandoned some non-contiguous regions, for instance, we could theoretically take some current rogue regions and MAKE places like Avamar contiguous. It is not a choice of "abandoning 4 our of 5" of our regions... and anyway, I was not referencing all non-contiguous regions anyway, as I've already made clear. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
The one worthwhile thing you said in that screed, Lord Commander, is that there may be other options that would prevent us from having to choose between the Temple and Ashforth. That is true, though Obando and Dale do have value as well, and blithely dismissing them as expendable without weighing the relative pros and cons of the various regions is foolhearty. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
My last word: Republics can only function if the nobility is able to think and speak freely as to their opinions . You all know me, I have never insulted anyone in this realm, even when provoked, and my last message to the realm was reasonable and honest. The Lord Commander's was neither.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If we are to debate the merits of ideas, let us act like mature adults as we do so. </p>

It is shocking to hear you state - if you overwhelmingly disagree with the Realm's decision that you would abandon your oaths and duty.  Your duty is first to Sirion not commoners or Lords - instead their duty is to serve you.  We sacrifice Lord and commoners in service of Sirion - not the other way around.  Regardless, your Lords and knights will not leave so you would abandon them as well.  Let us have discussion without ultimatums.  I ask and encourage you to retract your statement.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Sirion must be stronger to defend itself.  The region change is based in survival and defense.  You yourself have said Ashforth would serve to provide an excellent defense to our Southern border.<br />

I would change the conversation.  One more noble joining our Realm would change this conversation significantly.  If we had more nobles, would we all agree on taking over Ashforth?  I will start a referendum. If the answer is "yes."  Then I will seek to solve that problem.<br />

Foreign policy is the prerogative of Speaker Ivo. It is inappropriate to carry on by referendum, unless the speaker agrees. That is forcing the Speaker's hand.<br />

There has been plenty of my hand being forced this past week anyway, both in the open and behind the scenes. Sirion will have to find its way forward with or without me, and constructive decision will be the way to go.<br />

I would encourage other nobles, especially among our senior ranks, to speak up and be counted too.</p>

I do not believe my referendum is inappropriate.  I am a senator with the right to hold a referendum by definition of a Republic.  I have asked the Realm for guidance on what I myself should do.  I have also phrased the referendum very specifically by asking if they would <strong>agree </strong>with the act.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I hold the Lord Speaker in the highest regard, he is my Duke and would not force is hand in any matter.  If the Lord Speaker believes it is inappropriate then I will retract my referendum.<br />

|Content=<p>Nobles of Sirion,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Interesting discussion. I think we should find some common grounds first before we move on towards the difference.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
First thing that we can be in agreement on. It has been known that many rogue regions surrounding our region can cause rogue attack. When rogue attack happens, either we station militia which caused drain in our food productivity or we station the region lord which caused Sirion military strength to decrease in any frontline war. Or we do none of these two actions and let the rogue damage our rural region or drive it rogue which does not look like a region lord acceptable code of conduct.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Second thing that I am sure we all can agree upon. We all like cities or stronghold. City produces gold more. No matter Ashforth city, Oroya city or Sir Temple itself. However a city or stronghold requires food from rural region as it does not feed itself. Usually it is an ideal situation if we have 3 rural regions to feed 1 city. While I do not possess data on our food situation, this will have to be provided by our good dependable Banker.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
In a conclusion, we need balance our good need(city) and our food need(rural). Do we wish to see ourselves having to buy food from abroad, from another foreign realm just because we cant feed our own cities?</p>

 +
|Content=<p><br />
 +
I just wish to respond to Senator Brock's very useful letter and provide my take of what I think of Sirion's food balance, now and future.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Sirion is food rich; second to Caligus but that is only because our recent lengthy drought was not also effected in the same way by Caligus.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
The figures I now keep you are based on summer data which also happens to be the realm's annual average. I have rounded them  and adjusted populations to simulate full restoration.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
On that basis the realm's net supply is 190 bushels per day, made up of a surplus of 265 bushels and a deficit of 75 bushels.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As expected most of the surplus comes from the four top rural regions and any two of those fully satisfy the total deficit.<br />
 +
Our individual city supply needs are quite spread with the largest daily deficit of 40 bushels belonging to Parm while in contrast Sir Temple actually enjoys a daily surplus of 5 busheels. By comparison Ashford would have a net daily deficit of 13 bushels which is not signifiant compared to the total realm supply.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I conclude that our food supply is safe as long as we at least maintain our current rural regions and are not visited by too many unusually long droughts like we have just had.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I hope this has been useful. I am always happy to discuss the food system I use with anyone who will listen.</p>

|Content=<p>I have just noticed the expansion and shrinking of some realms. Caligus now borders. I considered them a friend when I was Lord Commander I am not sure if they have changed their tune much, but I know we have one of their nobles here speaking of RC reform. That can be good; though my initial thought was why on earth are we giving away the structure of our military away.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As to Senator Solomon's point about nobles I agree that our main focus should always be to increase our noble count. To touch on his referendum I saw no issue with the Senator beginning the Referendum it forces no hand it is simply a poll to see how the realm feels about a certain topic. If we are to gain another noble Ashforth would for sure be a good acquisition as long as it does not infringe on the previous agreement we had with Eppollyn.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Something I also noticed is that no realm has an ally this has changed only slightly since I last looked where Shadowdale and Eppollyn were the sole allies; seems there could be some tension between the two since we gave up Ashforth as suspected might happen.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I will stop here to not bore you all with any more of my thoughts.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Let Us Unite,<br />

Excellent observations.  Due to your letter I had my scribes provide me reports.  Eponllyn has lost 8 nobles over the last 3 months.  They have been forced to shrink their Realm's size as a result.  According ot the reports, Eponllyn cannot capture more regions.  Therefore, Eponllyn is limited in its war capacity - a war with them would mean no concern of our regions being taken over.  Based on their makeup of regions, I expect they could not feed Ashforth when they could no longer retain all of their rurals.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
The other Realms have had a momentary increases or decreases of nobles, but have remained fairly stable.  Sirion has been the most stable in nobles which is a testament of greatness to its nobles.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I'm in Sirion City with a handful of others.  I do not know exactly what information was shared before I arrived, but since I have arrived our discussion has been military theory and information that is widely available.  I share your concern about sharing too much information.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Regards,</p>

|Content=<p>Fellows,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
In Sirion city we have discussed the below two battles.  Eponllyn has used cavalry to great affect.  Cavalry do not suffer the problems due to the weather as archers do and therefore are more reliable.  Cavalry are only poor in attacks on fortifications.  By my count we have plenty of nobles who could afford 90 cavalry, matching Eponllyn's calvary force in the below Battle in Troyes.  I indicated, but did not lie, to our guest that we could not afford that cavalry.  I did this to obfuscate our capabilities.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Our other discussion has been about the Astrum special.  An army made up of mixed infantry, archers and special forces.  That army will not struggle with fortifications, but can be run down by a heavy opposing cavalry force.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
We recognize every noble has a right to choose their troops.  We can explain our strategy, ask and have the right RCs for our strategy.<br />

So the only decent cavalry center we have is in Parm. The solution is obvious. Sirion city and Avamar city have only three RCs each so the cost of building another RC will be not be too high for those cities. The Lords of those two cities could concentrate on producing one good cavalry RC each. If successful, we would triple our cavalry production.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I assume that if we try this we are only interested in good RCs. what would you say was a minimum requirement? 70/70/70  ?<br />

If we were to pursue a more cavalry heavy army we would tear down RCs first.  That requires a discussion, a plan and agreement.  However, we must immediately freeze building more RCs.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Cities should only build the high quality RCs, while rural and townsland regions should create the other RCs.  In this way, once we get the rare good high quality RC we can expand it to the largest possible size.  We do not need size 4 RCs in the cities of low quality RCs, if the rurals we'll always keep behind the front lines provide those troops.  RCs increase in cost as you build more - by spreading the RCs around we reduce the total cost of a RC renovation.<br />

<br />

|Content=<p>Senator Solomon,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I have some observations to make. Please give them careful consideration because its not a simple matter. These are far reaching and expensive investments and we must be careful of not causing more damage than benefit.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
1.  Sirion knights do not tend to choose cavalry because most of our fighting is against rogue and we tend to optimize with ranged troops to fight rogue.  Lets say that some knights choose cavalry to fight a human war. We will still only have say three knights willing and able to field large cavalry units, so we are looking at a total build of say three level 4 cavalry RCs. So we already have one such RC, I judge that two more are enough for our needs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
2. I am against destroying existing RCs in our cities because everyone knows that producing good RCs was easier in the old days. That is why we have a lot of good ancient RCs. The time and effort to replace them would be very high and we might not even get good replacements because nowadays if you already have existing good RCs the new ones tend to be lower quality. It's a gamble I think unnecessary.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3. Also the existing RCs we have in cities are more useful than you might think. Take for example Avamar, it has three mediocre RCs, but its an isolated forward city and they are pretty useful if you need to put up a lot of reasonably priced militia in a hurry. I wouldn't want Avamar to lose them.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
4. Building a new cavalry RC in Sirion or Avamar is not that expensive. Because they only have three RCs each. Even my region of Sir Temple which has 4 RCs, the cost of a cavalry RC is only  625 gold which is very affordable. In Sirion and Avamar it will be even cheaper. Once the first level of an RC is built the cost does not go up due to the number of RCs I think, so we won't get any benefit for levels 2, 3 and 4  by destroying existing RCs, and that's the most expensive part, especially level 4.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
In summary, we should not destroy existing RCs, we should instead build two new cavalry RCs, one in Avamar and one or even two in Sirion city. The only question in my mind is how good do we want those RCs to be? What are the minimum stats required?<br />
 +
<br />

I would highly recommend that you forgo Sir Temple in join us in Sirion City as soon as possible, as your last letter is quite a ways behind what has already been discussed, and it's clear no one is going to copy every single letter to you.<br />

Is Sir Dominic correct? Are the nobles gathered in Sirion city incapable or unwilling to forward messages? Or even to pass on contact details? What a sorry state of affairs if true. I don't see how we can fight a war if we can't even pass on messages.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Very well, since no one seems to be able to forward messages I will depart Sir Temple and physically travel to Sirion city to take part in the discussions. What a sorry state of affairs.<br />

<br />

It has been pointed out to me, that i could be helping by claiming the lordship of Trinbar, and still holding Parm. I think that Trinbar could be holded with militia while i can remain protecting Parm from within the walls and moving in and out of Trinbar to perform mantainance work.</p>
 +
 +
<p> </p>

<p>I have commited myself to restore this city so i would like your point of view on this matter.<br />

When you joined Sirion you committed yourself to the defense of Sirion.  I believe this duty comes first.  Becoming Lord of Trinbar serves the defense of Sirion (physically and in gold production) and furthermore you would not abandon your commitment to the defense of Parm.<br />

I know everyone is very excited to do this RC project, but please put a hold on your excitement until after the Marshal gives you some direction. Our advisor has stated what we have is mostly outdated, and needs to be torn down to improve our chances at better centers: making more low grade centers is going to do nothing but make this harder.<br />

I haven't had a response from either of you regarding cavalry RCs. Are you agreeable to trying to each building a good cavalry RC in your cities ?<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It will mean sitting there day after day and trying the free consultations until you get a good cavalry RC. And by good I mean that stats should be 70/70/70 or above. Once built the RC will need to be expanded to maximum size 4.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
We already have one good cavalry RC in Parm, if we can get another two in Avamar and Sirion, we will have the basis of a cavalry force. So please let me know if you are willing to work on this project.<br />

|Content=<p>The guidelines are going back and forth, and have largely stalled without your input. The general summary is that most centers will have to be tore down and replaced with the sort of general composition we want our army to have, and that the centers we do build should be of a very high quality to start, and to keep those centers within the Cities. We are, in general focusing on countering the apparently once again heavy Calvary of the Horsemasters. However, without the General being here, we can not continue discussion, as several decisions have to be made before we can move forward. Which is why I urge you to trust in your fellow nobles to defend the realm, instead of travelling sideways to witness every rogue battle yourself.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I must make this very, very clear: if the Horsemasters get any ideas about attacking us, <em>we will fold immediately</em> if you can't put trust in your own army. You can not be everywhere at once, and trying to do so will do nothing but cause wax burns on your fingers and sleepless nights on your horse. Leading isn't about being at the forefront of the charge: it's about being able to step back and see the bigger picture, to support and strategize with those below you to have the best overall result.  Every single army on the island has a General and a Marshal position for that very reason: one noble focuses on the larger scale war, and the the other gets their hands muddy in the trenches with all the details. Some armies have tried to have the same noble do both, but it has always ended in dysfunction....at best. This same idea is how our very society works. We are ordained to lead above those that work the fields by blood, yes, but do we use our days to set the measurements between the seeds? In our class, do the region lords have to sit in their regions for days on end to worry about every little bureaucratic thing?  That is what we have Courtiers for.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
This here, is why you should have been in Sirion City days ago, High Commander. You are our highest level of military leadership, the man who is in change of working on the biggest picture. A single battle against rogue, or any single region in this realm are both lesser concerns for your position to the realm-wide concern of our RC situation. Delegate those things, High Commander. Empower your nobles, trust them, not burn yourself out running all over the place.<br />

I am not in favor of building a Calvary center in my city.  Personally I think Calvary is pricier then infantry and archers.  And it would take a rich noble to be able to recruit and keep a Calvary unit in my mind.  Plus how many nobles would want to have a Calvary unit in the first place?  If there is not much of an appetite for nobles to recruit those types of units then to me it is folly to make more then one.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I say give the nobles a choice by having one they can recruit from and make it the biggest center it can be.  But Calvary is only good in combat.  They are not good for militia or PW so they are less versatile then other units.  </p>

I tend to agree with High Arbiter Lady Lerriana with regard to the building of more Calvary RCs. While it is true that Sirion has only one Calvary RC, there are only two Centers which have more expensive recruits; both are ranged Special Forces. There already are some RCs which have excellent numbers in all categories from which our nobles can choose from. <br />
 +
To me, a better plan would be to increase the size of the best of these RCs so the availability of quality units can be utilized by all of our nobility depending on the funds available to them.<br />

Creating Calvary RCs is premature, since we have not agreed on a strategy or plan.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If we did want to emphasize Calvary RCs one RC that has been enlarged is not nearly enough.  Large Calvary RCs gain recruits very slowly.  We would need more RCs to keep up with the demand for cavalry.  I have seen 3 special forces RCs being unable to keep up with moderate demand for special forces in peacetime due to each RC only gaining 2 recruits per day.<br />

|Content=<p>Greetings, Commander Falconi,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Looks like you already got some of my letters. If you are interested in Astrum's mighty layered ranged walls, your priority would be to focus on getting three types of RCs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Archer, Ranged SF and MIs. Among those, both archers and MIs will work as the backbone of your army. The ranged R5 RCs will be nice to have but those are not as important for Sirion since Sirion seems to lack the funds to run them effectively.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I'd suggest focusing on aiming for high quality archer and MI RCs first. Since your realm already has RCs with 100, you are unlikely to get any additional RCs with 100 on them. Of course there is still a chance but your chance of getting one will be very low.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Also, while the Astrum's army format is quite powerful and is known to be one of the most cost efficient ones, it has never been tested against a realm such as Eponllyn. As you may know, most realms on Dwilight can't run cavalry RCs since they need to focus on fighting rogues. And rogues are very good against cavalry units as they are not as weak and soft as us humans. To survive their cavalry units, you will definitely need to focus more on your MI RCs defense stats.</p>

|Content=<p>Personally, I think it might be better to purely focus on MI RCs only. You will certainly be lacking a bit of range but nothing having more MIs can't handle. MI units aren't afraid to engage enemies in melee and you won't have to bother much about them panicking over not having an infantry unit to prevent them from advancing forward.</p>

ok, So here is a proposed formation using your Astrum layered ranged army.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Have I understood correctly? Can it be improved? Please tell me what you think:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Range 3 MI - Middle box defensive<br />
 +
Range 4 SF &amp; Range 4 Archers - Back line defensive<br />
 +
Range 5 SF - Rearguard Skirmish Defensive<br />
 +
Infantry - Rearguard Line Normal<br />
 +
Cavalry - Rearguard Aggressive wedge<br />
 +
<br />
 +
For reference I believe we have some excellent ranged 4 SF but rather poor ranged 5 SF.<br />

|Content=<p>I've had a good look at the RCs in the realm. Its not very impressive. Here are the production figures for good useful troops:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Infantry - About 600 good infantry.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Archers - About 300 good ranged 4 archers<br />
 +
<br />
 +
MI - About 300 good  ranged 3 MI<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Ranged SF - 120 excellent but only range 4 SF.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Cavalry  - About 20 excellent cavalry from a small damaged RC<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Its a largely infantry base. We are far away from being able to create a cavalry army. If we want to allow nobles to convert infantry to MI then we need to provide more and  better MI RCs. Also Ranged 5 SF  need to be built.</p>

|Content=<p>If you have too many high quality infantry RCs, you may have to demolish them to increase your chances of getting good MIs.

<br />
 +
It would be cheaper to demolish the existing infantry RCs and focus on getting good MIs. Also, from the report I got, Sirion has too many RCs in Trinbar for no reason.</p>

|Content=<p>Yes but Trinbar has our best archer and MI RCs, all expanded to size 3. Its an invaluable resource. Also its right next to the capital so we can use it to reinforce Sirion militia if an enemy gets that close. I don't want to lose the excellent RCs in Trinbar. Its our cities that tend to have poor RCs. I don't know why.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I can get rid of a couple of high quality infantry RCs in Sir Temple up north, I just hesitate to destroy the work of decades.</p>

I don't understand your point regarding wanting to have RCs in Trinbar over Sirion. Why would you want to use Trinbar's RCs to fortify Sirion when you can just have RCs in Sirion to fortify the city? Also, they are level 3. You can't even expand them to level 4 which is twice as big as level 3.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It doesn't matter there are good RCs in Trinbar. You need to get rid of them and have them built in your cities. It is mathematically unwise to try for good RCs in your cities when you already have them in non-city regions. Unless of course you want to do this RC project for over 300~500 days.</p>

|Content=<p>“Captain, what news you have today?” Brock asks.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Captain Max holding the parchments as he goes through.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
“Many people are complaining about the high taxes.<br />
 +
12 bushels of food had to be burnt because they were found to be rotten.”<br />
 +
<br />
 +
”Wait, what? Why people complain about high tax?” Brock inquires further.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Taking another scroll out, Captain Max replies “Apparently the neighbouring regions must have aet the tax rate too low compared to Hillmar.”<br />
 +
<br />
 +
”That must be it. By the way, have you instructed guard to go through the food before decided the food is completely rotten?” Brock continues on.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Captain Max replies “Yes, my lord.”<br />
 +
<br />
 +
”Look like we have to go through this winter with many food losses. There is food deficit today, there will be many such days to come. Order the guards to protect the warehouse at all cost. Rotate the guards by shift. Noone should walk alone while on guard duty” Brock instructs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Written down Brock instruction, Captain Max nods as he replies “It will be done immediately.”<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As his Captain leaves the tent, Brock ponders over another parchment report on his desk. The men equipment damage is getting heavier each day.</p>

Good day Sir Naismith. I understand you have been asking about the Realm's grain reserves? I can report that as of today the Chancellery's  official statement has posted:
 +
<blockquote>
 +
<p>Total production: 140 bushels/day</p>
 +
 +
<p>Total consumption: 383 bushels/day</p>
 +
 +
<p>Total net: 243 bushel daily deficit</p>
 +
 +
<p>Total storage: 12472 bushels</p>
 +
 +
<p>The realm will run out of food in 51 days without extra imports.</p>
 +
</blockquote>
 +
 +
<p>I should point out that 51 days assumes we remain at the winter deficit given above; which is not true of course. In 51 days we will be enjoying our autumn bonanza  of 737 daily surplus and having already had spring and summer surpluses, our granaries will be almost replenished ready for next winter. The  report above is for today's average weather but even with a drought it would still be more accurate to say we will not run out of food.</p>

|Content=<p>I feel that I once again should note that unless we double our noble count, we will never hold the regions behind us with any strong hand: frankly we should be focusing on what regions to take from the honorless Horsemasters and the rebellious Southern Duchy to replace the regions on our backline that can no longer be well managed. As I have stated, we can deal with both Sir Temple and Tallbar by simply taking Ashforth and Obendorf: two regions we hold old claim over anyways. My old Lordship of Hillmar and the neighboring Gilnmar are more problematic to switch up, but I see no reason to worry about them so much, as war and opportunity will pull more nobles to us and we may be able to truly take some of the rogues between....that is, if we are willing to leave Sir Temple and Tallbar to the rogues at that time.<br />

Many of you will remember a few months ago when the Tormentor of Shadowdale - Sean Dixon was found to be attacking adventurers at random without cause or warning.  When this came to light in the guild, after many in the guild openly said they were planning to end all relationships with Shadowdale while such a man remained.  He swore that this was a misunderstanding and that such actions would not happen again unprovoked.  As a landed member of the nobility, I took him at his word.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Well here we are a few months later...  and Shadowdale is still an unsafe location for adventurers.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
<em>Beaten Up!<br />
 +
(Personal message) - 2 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes ago</em>
 +
<p><em>You are suddenly captured by a group of men and soon brought before Sean Dixon, Tormentor of Shadowdale, Earl of Greatbridge while you are in Krimml. He punches you hard, tossing you onto the ground, kicking your head, jumping up and down your abdomen like a monkey, but you can do nothing except whining and begging for mercy. After some good hours, he has finally gone, and you could feel something is broken about your body even only barely conscious. You are now wounded.</em><br />
 +
<br />
 +
I was attacked, without warning, without a word being spoken, seemingly at random while walking the streets of Krimml.  It seems Sean Dixon's word amounts to being worth nothing.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
You sent your thugs to attack an unarmed woman in the street.<br />
 +
You have proven that you have no honour.<br />
 +
You have proven your word is nothing but lies.<br />
 +
Your mere existence now actively harms the reputation of your own realm.<br />
 +
You sir, are nothing but a coward.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
To my clients and contacts in Shadowdale I apologize, but I can no longer do business in your realm while Sean Dixon remains.</p>

 +
<br />
 +
It is about time that Sir Sean is removed from this guild, no member has ever been so harmful for the guild then this man has.<br />
 +
It should be very clear for all of our members here not to do business with this man and stay very far away from him.<br />
 +
This guild is designed for nobles to hire adventurers for repairs or buy their items, If some of our members abuse that trust and use the guild to harm and steal from venturers and nobles, our entire reputation is at stake.<br />
 +
This man has stolen destroyed, tortured, killed and beaten his way through the East Continent and even left his own realms in shatters as he moved on to the next.<br />
 +
What Shadowdale does with this man is up to them, but this guild should have taken action yesterday and not wait for more damage to be done tomorrow.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
At this moment we have only one elder member of this guild, Lady Delphine, please take action and cleanse this guild of those that seek to harm it.<br />
 +
This guild means very little if we let people like Sean harm its members and its reputation.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Yours,</p>

It has been made <em>very</em> clear to all my subjects that I expect adventurers to be left to their business within Shadowdale's borders and my patience now wears rather thin that I am again addressing an issue which I thought resolved.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I have asked Tormentor Sean to provide a full account of his actions and when the matter has been investigated I will judge accordingly. Until then I can only reiterate that wanton abuse of commoners is not a sign of nobility and those who indulge in such brutality cannot expect to earn respect by doing so.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If the charges are proven I will support Benefactor Marchusson's call for the expulsion of Lord Sean from these halls.</p>

|Content=<p>Newcomer Daizen, are you one of those men who judges without first hearing evidence from both sides of a dispute?<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Mistress Kryss has provided me with detailed testimony and I have requested that Lord Sean do likewise. When I've studied both I will be able to judge whether there has been wrongdoing. If there is a suitable punishment will be imposed, which in the case of abuse of a commoner is likely to be a compensation payment as this is the custom of Shadowdale.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Quite where the deflection is in this I am uncertain. Perhaps you mean that legal processes in general are a deflection?</p>

Back to our discussions.  The Astrum special - army of mixed infantry, archers and special forces could certainly be devastating, but we need an answer for cavalry troops.  As Sir Eisenritter stated, Eponllyn has chosen to field elite deadly cavalry and has yet to be matched on the battlefield.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
In a defensive situation, using the Astrum special all units could <em>dig in</em> with mixed infantry in back with archers and special forces in rearguard.  This severely reduces the effectiveness of the enemies archers as they will shoot the entire battle at their max range.  This allows two charges of enemy cavalry in position middle before they hit our lines and puts the cavalry alone at point blank range.  The question would be if we can withstand the last cavalry charge from those cavalry they put in back.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
We could have 4 heavy cavalry units in rearguard.  They would meet the enemy's infantry and first cavalry charge, who is weakened by missile fire, in our front and could stop the charge.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
However, after we did that our enemy would put all their troops in front and overwhelm us.<br />

You can only dig in as a defender and you need to either own the region or run a TO.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It is a good idea to have your own cavalry units to counter but if enemies land their charges first, you will suffer the same.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
You could choose to hire enough MIs to soak up the damage. If half of your nobles field MIs, you can probably deploy them in 2 rows to soak up the initial charge.</p>

I don't quite understand what you mean but cavalry will continue to move forward until they hit something. If both attackers and defenders move to the same row at the same time, it will be up to whoever moved to the row first. Unfortunately, units don't move all at the same time. Some units move ahead of others even in the same round. From the battles between Perleone and Alara, Perleone's cavalry untis always moved before Alara's for some reason which resulted in Perleone missing their charges all the time.</p>

That is exactly what I'm referring to.  Long has it been since I have seen many cavalry units in a large action.  One of the drawbacks to the cavalry was when they would oddly miss their charge attacks.  It would be very powerful to understand how we could make an enemy's cavalry miss their charge attacks.<br />

But the first row of cavalry could still miss - resulting in half of their most powerful troops being greatly reduced in affect.</p>

|Content=<p>Not sure of this RC thing. Seems to me that this is the situation:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Cons:<br />
 +
1. we have no range 5 SF RCs<br />
 +
2. we have just one RC of decent but not spectacular range 3 MI<br />
 +
3. we have just one badly damaged excellent cavalry RC in Parm. Might not be easy to expand until Parm recovers.<br />
 +
4. We have no buy in from and city Lords at this point on either destroying existing RCs or building new cavalry or MI RCs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Pros:<br />
 +
1. We do have Oroya city as a blank slate.<br />
 +
2. I'm willing to destroy two good infantry RCs in my stronghold of Sir Temple and try for MI , Cav &amp; range 5 RCs.<br />
 +
3. We can probably afford to destroy 3 good RCs in Trinbar in order to improve our odds, but I insist we keep an archer and an infantry RC in Trinbar.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I am somewhat skeptical about the risks involved, we'll be destroying at least 5 good RCs in the hope of creating a different force balance with no guarantees we will be better off. I don't think you'll get the city Lords to agree. Dukr Zadek is here, he's the Lord of Sirion city. What does he think.<br />

If you can't convince the lords on doing what is right for the realm, you will be stuck with an outdated army which won't be able to compete with your most powerful neighbour.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I pray that Sirion's diplomats are better than its soldiers. That would be the only way to outcompete your potential enemies.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If you are just planning on destroying 5 RCs, I'd recommend just keeping them. It is quite clear that Sirion is not ready to fix its RC problems. The RC project can't be done with people only committing what they are willing to lose. It requires the cooperation from the entire realm. If you can't achieve that there is no point on trying.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It is quite unfortunate to see how short sighted Sirionites have become. Maybe the departure of the elves did more damage to the realm than I initially thought.</p>

So how extensive would the dismantling need to be? I assume you are only talking about dismantling very good RCs? because the average RCs don't make a difference do they? How many and how good do these RCs need to be?<br />

It is up to you and Sirionites how extensive you want it to be. Sirion's problem is quite clear. Your realm lacks any vision when it comes down to what kind of army you want. I don't know why Sirion's military is still living in the past. Looks like Sirionites have been sleeping in their ancient forest. Unfortunatley for Sirion, the rest of the continent tries to outdo each other. Your neighbour Eponllyn is powerful because they were willing to risk more than you are willing to. Sirion still has RCs from its ancient times meaning Sirion's generals either never caught up with the changes or they never bothered to. In the past, Sirion could afford to get away with this by having more allies. It doesn't matter how effective one realm's army is when its enemies can bring three times as many troops. Those days are long gone. At most you can do is bring your one ally but Sirion does not even have that.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It is quite confusing to me why Sirion wants to remain so inefficient. Sirion no longer has walls once it protected its lands from the foreigners. Sirion's last war against Shadowdale went quite poorly despite Shadowdale's RCs not being that impressive either. But Shadowdale's RC types are still more diverse than that of Sirion. Sirion is mainly infantry and melee SFs. Most of its RCs are in Trinbar for some reason. It has RCs in places where it shouldn't be while having too focused on melee units. Is Sirion benchmarking Perdan? Perdan is known for its infantry units and it is one of the reasons why it struggles so much against Eponllyn. Perdan can't even fight Eponllyn without the walls of Bescanon and Altar of Flames. Unless you are hoping to stay in the north-east corner of the continent permanently, you will have to find a way to deal with Eponllyn. It is not my job to do that. It is yours. I am merely here to assist you in doing so but if the best you can do is giving me reasons why you can't do it, then I am not interested in helping a realm that refuses to help itself.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I would recommend destroying any RC which has any of its stat above 75. Of course the best solution is for Sirion to double in size overnight but the likelihood of that happening is less than the chance of elves coming back from whichever land they sailed to.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I will simplify what you need to do here.<br />
 +
1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I don't know why you are insisting on keeping RCs in Trinbar. I don't know which idiot built so many RCs there but he/she should be treated as a traitorous scum for wasting so much gold in a region which hardly benefits Sirion strategically. If you think RCs in Trinbar is going to protect Sirion City, then you should focus on actually having RCs in Sirion City first. Regions touching Trinbar are all poor except Sirion City and having RCs in Trinbar has no strategic value. You want RCs in non-city regions only when you need the region to supply militia units to regions connected to it. Trinbar is only connected to Tabost, Sermbar and Sirion. Both Tabost and Sermbar are poor and if Sirion is under attack, RCs in Trinbar won't do much. Not to mention having so many RCs decent quality RCs in Trinbar lowers your chance of getting those RCs in other regions. Average RCs are around 50 and below. Those don't affect your RC quality too much. You can keep those unless they are in your cities. If they are in your cities, they should be demolished for wasting a valuable space. Also, having more RCs in one region lowers your chance of getting good RCs in that region. So your best chance of getting a good RC will be when you have nothing.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Anyway, I have already said all I needed to say. At the end of the day, it is your call. If you don't mind commanding an infantry heavy army against Eponllyn, keep the RCs you have.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
(ooc: nobody exactly knows how it works. It is not something that gets shared. But we all know more you have, less chance you get - more RCs which is considered good that is. It is also based on how the number of nobles you have. More nobles = more chances to get better RCs + more you can actually have. Also, Sirion's RCs are crap to begin with. No point on keeping most of them.)</p>

 +
<br />
 +
Limiting their choices is a different matter entirely. Because it comes at a cost. If you only keep 1 cavalry around, you will see less people grabbing cavalry units. But it also kills diversity. But the game balance does not change often enough to promote diversity. It changes slowly enough to focus on the most favourable type and be dominant for years until it changes again. The game's balance only majorly changed once from Melee to Ranged.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As for keeping 4 good RCs, know that in return, you won't get good quality RCs for other types. So you will have to settle for less higher quality RCs of other types. High quality Infantry RCs are the easiest RCs to get. The hardest is Cavalry followed by MI and archer(Many archer RCs are good but extremely good ones are rather rare). High quality R5s are not as rare as some people believe them to be.</p>

|Content=<p>Sir Willarc,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
My fellow realmmates unfortunately are too focused on enjoying their wines and stories.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
They haven't gone to war in awhile and have forgotten about what it means to be a true noble. But it is something they will remember once they meet an aggressive neighbour. They will be forced to remember I am sure when it does happen.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As for Sirion, I truly hope that the realm manages to pull the project off. It is often quite difficult to get nobles to cooperate and I've only heard and seen it thrice in history of this world. Astrum, Eponllyn and Luria Nova. All those realms somehow pulled it off but they also struggled with their nobles to get it done.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
People tend to not like seeing RCs gone but I hope they remember you can always aim for something better. That is how you best use your peace time. To improve on your infrastructure for the next war.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Once you build the RCs, you will have to experiment with them to figure out the best line settings. But remember line settings will need to be changed often after each battle to counter your enemies. Also, at the end of the day, winning battles alone won't win you wars. You have all witnessed that in the Perdan-Eponllyn war. Eponllyn's army was stronger but Perdan played their cards right and halted Eponllyn's advance. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to separate long term goals and short term goals. Do not randomly attack a region for no reason. When you are doing something, you should have a purpose.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Ultimately, the quickest way to win a war is to crush your enemy's will to fight. Astrum despite having all the greatest RCs in the world in one place fell because the realm was inhabited by weak minded nobles. Even the thickest armor can't protect you from an idiot who wants to die. As long as you have the will to fight, RCs won't be your biggest problem.</p>

<u>REPORT ON RCs OF SIRION - PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENT</u><br />
 +
<br />
 +
We have had extensive discussions with the Caligus expert on RCs Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach. Here is my report:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
1. He says our RCs are archaic and out of date. If we keep to these RCs we will be beaten on the battlefield by realms with more modern RCs. He identifies three weaknesses:<br />
 +
Too much high quality infantry. It was good in ancient times but now has been superseded by missile and cavalry troops.<br />
 +
Too many high quality non ranged SF. These RCs are practicality useless.<br />
 +
Too many high quality RCs in Trinbar. This is a weakness since they can only get to size 3 whereas cities and strongholds can get to size 4.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
2. He says that the only way we can change and improve our RCs is to destroy a lot (Most) of our best RCs and concentrate on producing more of the ones we want in our cities. We would need to do this because the cost and chance of producing good RCs is improved by getting rid of existing ones. The new ones need to be rebuilt just in our cities and then expanded to size 4. The new ones we are looking for are:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>High quality range 3 MI</li>
 +
<li>High quality Cavalry</li>
 +
<li>High quality Range5 SF</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
Of these the MI are the most important since we seem to be low on cash overall and these units are cost effective and also pretty good against rogue. And by high quality I mean we're looking for 70 and higher in all stats.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3. This project will be impossible without cooperation of all region Lords and especially of the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple because a LOT of good RCs will have to be sacrificed to achieve this goal and a LOT of gold will have to be spent to build and transform these new RCs into size 4.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
So that you understand how big the sacrifice of existing RCs will be. I'll give you an initial list that the expert Eisenritter Felsenbach suggested:
 +
<blockquote>
 +
<p>From what I can tell you will have to destroy,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
inf 40 80/80 Sir Temple<br />
 +
inf 60 70/80 Sir Temple<br />
 +
inf 75 70/85 Sir Temple<br />
 +
inf 50 50/85 Avamar<br />
 +
inf 50 60/80 Elmbar<br />
 +
inf 65 75/65 Trinbar<br />
 +
inf 90 80/75 Tinbar<br />
 +
inf 80 70/90 Sirion<br />
 +
inf 70 65/75 Hilmar<br />
 +
<strong>inf 80 80/100 Parm<br />
 +
inf 95 100/85 Parm</strong><br />
 +
<br />
 +
arch Get rid of all R3<br />
 +
arch 45 80/70 Trinbar<br />
 +
arch 65 80/70 Trinbar<br />
 +
arch 90 75/75 Trinbar<br />
 +
<br />
 +
SF Get rid of all melee SF(Melee SFs are awful in general. Both cavalry and inf do the same job but better)<br />
 +
<br />
 +
MI 75 85/75 Trinbar<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Once you get rid of these RCs, you will start seeing better options. If you want to improve your chances even more, you will have to smash more RCs however.</p>
 +
</blockquote>
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
So my question is, what do the leadership of the realm say? are you willing to make these sacrifices to transform our military? In particular the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple who will need to smash a lot of good  RCs and build a lot of new RCs. Without the active cooperation of these people the project is impossible. For my part, as Lord of Sir Temple, I am willing to make the sacrifice.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I await the reply of these people and the realm. If I get the go ahead I will produce a definitive list of RCs to be destroyed.<br />

Just so you realise, once Parm smashes these infantry RCs and disbands the men, you are not going to get any decent RCs from Parm in coming years. Because...<br />
 +
<br />
 +
1) The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
2) Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3) If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)</p>

I was not planning on following the advisors plan exactly. I was planning to keep three high quality infantry RCs , One in Parm, one in Sirion and one in Sir Temple. The advisor wanted to get rid of all our high quality infantry RCs but I think we should keep three.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Sadly that means that one of your infantry RCs will be destroyed by my plan. As well as two of mine and many others around the realm.<br />

It is contradictory to accept the expertise of the advisor being superior than ours and then immediately disregarding his advice on how to be successful.  In that case, don't do a RC renovation at all and accept our army will be obliterated on the field if we don't overcome army makeup weakness with hyperactivity or an overwhelming better strategy.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
The problem Parm's state presents is real and Lord Speaker Ivo has provided an excellent summary of it.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
1) To solve the following problem,  we can draft troops over this long project.  A soft draft has minimal moral drop, a courtier can raise it as it drops and you can get ~4 cavalry troops per half day this way.  <em>The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.</em><br />
 +
<br />
 +
2) To solve the following problem, others can send gold including Lords and knights.  Taking Ashforth would increase our gold income.  The Lord Speaker excels at diplomacy - certainly the best on the continent.  Lets negotiate an alliance with Eponllyn to eliminate a potential threat during this project and secure our takeover of Ashforth.  <em>Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.</em><br />
 +
<br />
 +
3) This is a long term project.  We build in Parm now and address the other issues so the project is successful. <em> If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)</em><br />

You are not empowered to <u><strong>order</strong></u> anyone about what type of Recruitment Centers they build in their regions, High Commander. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I do not mind your advice and consent, and I support the realm-wide attempt to make some sense of what targets we should have for recruitment centers. But you do not command me, or any other Lord, as to what we can and can not do in our regions. I built a reasonably decent archer center here in Oroya because I felt it was important that I have one available to me in this frontier region. That is my decision, not yours. <br />

<br />

Stop inventing authority you do not have for yourself. It does nothing but diminish your actual standing. </p>

As your Marshal I report the following to you.  If we cannot cooperate as a Realm on the building of Recruitment Centers in the correct locations then I cannot win wars or defend Oroya with this army.  I have now seen the many battle reports of Eponllyn's cavalry in action.  Eponllyn will crush our current army and raid Orya with ease.  This is because our army will not have the tools required to gain victory.  So, the Lords can build what they want and then lose their regions because they did not cooperate with their military leaders.  I have close friends across the continent who are members of Realms that have cooperated and undergone this project.  I am now envious of a Realm that cooperates at the highest levels.<br />

|Content=<p>One wonders if they traded us Oroya for Ashforth, thinking that they would have the administrative power to hold all three regions in the area by placating us until they could focus thier efforts on warring us: or perhaps just to share the load of rebuilding before trying to take our lands. Either way, we are very, very lucky they have lost a significant amount of administrative power recently, or we would be in deep trouble. We must capitalize on this extra time, as they no doubt are working to restore said administrative power as we speak.<br />

|Content=<p>I am not at all opposed to cooperating for the betterment of the realm. I am not opposed to the realm creating a plan for reorganizing recruitment centers and building new ones. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
What I am opposed to is the assumptive arrogance of the High Commander claiming a power he does not have, and attempting to "order" me, or anyone else, to do things or not do things that he has no authority to do. The High Commander has repeatedly done this, entirely misunderstanding his role as an officer in service to a republican government. He believes it is appropriate to <u><strong>ORDER</strong></u> members of the realm to maintain a certain level of militia in their regions, and he believes is appropriate to <u><strong>ORDER</strong></u> us to build or not build certain recruitment centers.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I resent the posture. I resent the arrogant assumption that he "knows better" than families that have generations of military leaders of great historical note, and lectures us about what we are and are not "allowed" to do, because he is the realm's general and as such anything that involves a soldier or a sword is somehow within his authority to control. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
This is a FEUDAL republic. We do not have centralized standing armies -- if we did, such armies would be raised, paid and controlled by the Lord Speaker, and through him the High Commander. But it is the Lords who raise and pay armies. It is we who are responsible for protecting our peasants and the people of our regions. It is we who are responsible with building and maintaining our military infrastructure locally. And it is only through our cooperation and assistance that Sirion has a military with which he can make strategic recommendations. As it happens, he is not even empowered to order me to take specific military actions (though you, as the Marshal of the army ARE empowered to do that), although in the absence of a Marshal making orders, most of us will treat "orders" from a general as worthy of being followed. Still, it is not his role to do even that. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
That is my ultimate point, Marshal Steele: the High Commander is constantly assuming upon himself authority he does not have, and "orders" us to do thing he can not order us to do. I'm quite tired of it, and resent the vain assumption of power he does not have. Had he simply <strong><u><em>requested</em></u></strong> that Lords refrain from building new recruitment centers, I would have had zero cause to complain. But that isn't what he does. He is so insecure in his own position he feels he must <strong><u>order</u></strong> us. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
He can't. I will not be ordered by him in this way. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Now, as to the plan, let me reiterate that I have no issue in the least with the realm-wide plan to create a new philosophy with our infrastructure. Nor do I have a plan with <strong><u><em>requests</em></u></strong> made to the Lords to implement the plan, for the betterment of the realm. If <u><strong><em>asked</em></strong></u> to do that, I will likely attempt to comply... though I think many of you are grossly overvaluing how much gold many of us have at our fingertips to implement some of this. But still, I have done nothing but serve Sirion since my arrival, and I would do so in this regard as well if called upon.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
That said, I don't care what the realm's "plan" is, we will always need quality archery centers in any wartime environment, and I in particular would like one here on the front lines in Oroya. I was presented an opportunity to build a decent (though admittedly unspectacular) archery center here, so I took it. I need no permission to do so, and I make no apologies for making that decision. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
So, carry on with the debate, and build whatever plan you wish. But you would all do well to remember your place, and ours, in the actual military structure of this realm. Far too many people fail to understand Republican Feudalism.<br />

|Content=<p>Hope no one minds the saltiness... especially you Mo... I'm rather enjoying building out that relationship as full of tension/bitterness. I figure that Gheric really respects and enjoys Vincenzo and considers him a friend, so it is fun to build a different dynamic between our families here. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
That said, while Rearden was being an ass, I hope everyone understands that the thrust of what he was saying from a game mechanic perspective is accurate. Technically speaking Generals aren't even supposed to be giving movement orders, and there was a big crack down on that a couple years ago, which actually got our general here in Sirion in trouble. I would actually prefer to have the General be "in charge of everything, militarily" because it would make military stuff much easier to manage and would probably make the game easier / more fun in a lot of ways... but this game was structured like Medieval Europe (i.e. Feudalism) rather than Antiquity (i.e. centralized empires a la Persia/Rome with a standing army commanded by a central authority), so authority is very much diffused here and there are a lot of limits on governmental officers and their power.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
For the record, though, Rearden will certainly be a good soldier in regard to the recruitment center plan. I'm just using this as a point of tension for the story / RP side for the fun of that.<br />
 +
<br />

Cheers everyone.</p>

In response to,

<blockquote>who's in charge of building RCs rules wise, and can a general get in trouble rules wise for forcing RCs to be tore down and replaced with rcs that follow a set of guildlines?,</blockquote>
 +
<br />
 +
a Titan says,
 +
<blockquote>Recruitment centers are managed at a region level. Only region lords can build and tear down recruitment centers. Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs. They can however work with the judge, ruler, or the dukes to institute sanctions for those who do not comply with their authority. Or perhaps their authority is not as broad as they thought... No one rules alone. Completing realm wide projects like recruitment center overhauls requires teamwork, cooperation, and consensus, amd this is very much an intentional design of the game. To be short, there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others. So if you're a general, working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results!</blockquote>

<p>It has also been noted in a lot of words I'm not copy/pasting that the Judge can fine people.

I am confused by the historical details and game mechanic perspective you are relaying. As per our Judge bulletin (emphasis mine):
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>The chain of command for everyone begins at the Marshal level, then to the General, and finally the Council. The only orders you should receive in the chain of command is from a Marshal. <em>You may also receive orders through the realm hierarchy <strong>separate </strong>from military orders.</em> The only exception to this is if an order needs to be countermanded immediately due to new information or battlefield changes, then <em>someone higher than a Marshal may override a previously given order in the interests of tactical necessity.</em></li>
 +
</ul>
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
On the historical matter.  Medieval Europe copied itself after Rome.  Medieval Europe generals were normally also the King or given absolute authority from the King.  In a Republic, generals were given absolute control over military matters because the patrician classes, rich merchants and the old nobility that formed the assembly weren't military experts.  That being said, I'm not an expert and certainly don't know everything. I'm a huge fan of medieval Europe, Ancient Rome, Archaeology was part of my major as an American Anthropologist major, I do medieval reenactment and have ready many books.<br />

I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Titan then goes on to suggest ways that pressure could be levied on a region lord if there was something they wanted them to do, including sanctions, fines, etc. And that's all fine, I don't disagree with any of that. What Rearden was saying (and what I'm saying OOC) is that there is no *authority* in the hands of a general to *order* anyone to do that kind of thing.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
This is one of the most accurate aspects of the game, historically speaking, to be honest. Kings in Medieval Europe did not maintain standing armies and relied upon their Counts/Lords to raise armies, that they would then contribute to the realm when some kind of war broke out between nations. History, though, is replete with examples of Lords refusing to comply, or picking and choosing what to comply with... or feigning compliance while not really marching their army where they are supposed to, etc. Point being, there was no "central government" to which the realm operated as some kind of modern centralized state. Standing armies were not really a thing (with some exceptions) and it was much more akin to a loose confederation of nobles who owed various layers of feudal loyalty to one another, typically flowing eventually to a King. But whether you're talking about Medieval England or the mess that was the Holy Roman Empire, in each of these instances the "power" and "authority" of an individual King was typically an aspect of <em>personal</em> <em>command</em>, built around leverage, relationships, etc... and not some kind of "legal power" or ingrained authority that they supposedly had.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
A good example of this would be King Edward I versus his son, Edward II or King John of the Magna Carta period. What was the structural difference between the authority commanded by Edward the I, compared to the two weaker Kings? Fundamentally nothing, really. But the other two were not able to assemble the <em>personal</em> loyalty that Longshanks could, and as such the various Lords (Barons) held far more power, and used it against the King. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Here in what you quoted Keely, that is exactly what that Titan is talking about when they say "there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others," that is what they are talking about. That why  "working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results," and they're right about that. But there is no mechanical "power" a general has to "order" anything like this. I see nothing in that statement that contradicts that. In fact, your "Player A, Player B" quote basically explains exactly what I'm talking about. They need to CONVINCE the Lord, or perhaps lean on the OTHER power relationships that exist to force LEVERAGE on them enough that they will comply. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I guess what I'm chiding against here is the idea that realms in this game are late-Republic or early-Empire Rome, with a "General in Charge" of a standing army that is centrally recruited and trained, and political leaders (Governors, in their cast) that are appointed magistrates of their regions and have to do what they're told as though they are employees. That is how WE conceive of modern government in our generally first-world, modern, western states... but it isn't how Feudal Europe worked. </p>

I understand your perspective.  I was asked by another to issue the same order, but did not for the reasons you describe.  I am also concerned with the required gold investment for this project.  I do not take it lightly.  I agree more thought and discussion needs to occur so agreement is Realm wide before action is taken.  However, continued building of recruitment centers only makes any project more expensive.  Therefore, a pause on building more recruitment centers is most wise.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It is possible we would plan for there to be RCs in Salta and Dale which would provide archer militia to Oroya.  If we spread RCs around, but build rare RCs in cities then we ensure no region is critical to our troop recruitment and reduces the cost of new RCs across the Realm.  Furthermore, that strategy allows us to enlarge the rare RCs to the biggest possible size.<br />

I hate to contradict you here, but I have a degree in history with a focus on European history, and that just isn't correct. I'm not saying I'm the world's leading expert on this stuff... but Medieval Europe was not at all copied from Rome. At least not in the ways you are suggesting. In fact, that's one of the main things that distinguishes the Medieval period from antiquity: the massive break with ancient civilizations when it came to how societies functioned, armies worked, etc. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
Let's start with where the armies came from. In Rome, and other major Empires of Antiquity, that was raised by the Republic (later Empire) by the Senate, and paid through the Roman treasury, though I suppose admittedly "in the field" those payments typically did come from the plunder the army acquired and was administered by the commanding General. But the point was, the army's creation was a vehicle of a centralized state, and Legions were permanent, professional armies that rotated commanders. Those commanders (Generals) were appointed by the Senate (typically <em>members</em> of the Senate) and given <em>Imperium </em>over their individual armies for a period of time. The army was a reflection of the decisions of the Senate, the Consuls, and later the Princeps (what we today call Roman Emperors). <br />
 +
<br />
 +
In Medieval Europe, with very few exceptions there were not standing armies. Knights were maintained by landed nobility (Lords, referred to as Barons, Counts, and a bunch of other titles depending on location). Those Knights were essentially "hired" by the Lords to provide protection for the Lord and the peasants of their region, often times against other rival lords from nearby, technically in the same "realm," which was itself a loose concept in the middle ages. Read about the heartburn inducing life of many of the Holy Roman Emperors, who had lofty titles and everything, but very little power to organize their realm to do much of anything militarily, save obvious emergencies and the occasional figure who had a cult of personality. Just look at this map of what was the HRE in the 1300s:  https://i.redd.it/pfasf0ozhu231.png<br />
 +
<br />
 +
It is a mess. And all of those regions on the map represent families and Lords in control of their own little slice of the empire, all with competing (oftentimes overlapping) loyalties to various noble figures. There was no "central government" of the HRE, and it was little better in places like France or medieval England either, though admittedly in some instances certain figures were able to assemble a <em>de facto</em> centralized government due to their own personal prestige and domination. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
In short, the troops were raised, organized, paid and ordered around by the local lords, for the most part. Those Lords would be <em>called upon</em> by their Kings and rulers to participate in a war, or a battle, and those Lords would usually honor their oaths of fealty to help... though when you actually study Medieval warfare you find that the degree to which they helped (and didn't) was pretty malleable to the situation, with many Kings frustrated at the virtual non-compliance of most of their Lords. Once they were gathered together, yes, you are correct, Kings often acted as generals themselves and they were obligated to follow commands in the field. That's true. But then again, their Lords could also (and often did) decide to withdraw participation and march their troops home, and there wouldn't necessarily be anything the King could do about it. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
In any event, the real point here is that the only line of authority whereby "orders," if you want to call them that, are able to be given and are duty bound to be obeyed, is the direct line of the Feudal relationship or oath. Outside of that, obedience to the wishes of a figure here or there was a factor of personal magnetism, leverage, etc, and not of legal "authority." <br />
 +
<br />
 +
In the context of this game we are playing here, it has <em>always</em> been explained to me over the years that Generals, Judges, Bankers, etc, have certain mechanical "powers" afforded to them by their position, but that the society they are in is Feudal and there are not direct "order" style commands that they can give that nobles are <em>obligated</em> to obey. They can use the mechanical powers they have to <em>pressure </em>Lords into compliance, but saying "I order you to..." to a Feudal Lord carries no actual official weight whatsoever, given the structure of these societies. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
That's all I've been trying to say here. </p>

 +
<br />

Also I am not sure when the centers were built but if they are quite old at one point in the game it was easy to get good RCs but now it is much harder.  Also why would we want to tear down awesome RCs when we may never be able to get as good as a RC again. as we have now.</p>

 +
<br />
 +
Great questions.  I asked both of these questions as well.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
We will not tell people to recruit a specific type of troop nor slightly or indirectly punish someone around their troop choice.  We will curate the RCs, so the best options are the ones they want to pick.  We will ask people to consider changing their troop types.  Ashforth would be a great opportunity for troop leaders to drop their troops as militia and recruit a new troop type.  For example, on Dwlight my Realm doesn't build cavalry RCs - but we also don't tell people they can't recruit cavalry. <br />
 +

We had a lengthy discussion in Sirion City about this.  What other Realms has found is that good RCs are much harder now, because we have many RCs.  When you have few RCs, then your RC options drastically improve.  This is why you tear down common/cheap/poor RCs, build rare RCs and then build the common/cheap/poor RCs.  At least two other Realms have gone through this process.  It is a very expensive process.</p>

<p>I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."</p>

They mean mechanically though, not in any rules sense, to be clear.<br />
 +
 +
<blockquote>
 +
<p>While we aren't able see what you're referring to that would be sent, we can say that Generals are free to order that certain recruitment centers be built or demolished. Lords are free to ignore or reject the order. Judges, Dukes and Rulers are free to issue sanctions to enforce compliance with the General's orders. They are also free to side with the lords and refuse to back the General. These are all decisions that can be made in character.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Because the issued sanctions would be a) in character actions within the context of the fiction and b) not something the General actually has any direct control over. Their authority in this situation is entirely based around the legitimacy and respect the character has gained with their peers or certain subsections of their peers.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Since this is all in character discussion (or at least it is best if it is), there is no rule preventing any of these actions or their consequences from unfolding.</p>

I have a small concern regarding elimination of lesser centers.  It involves the recruitment and staffing of militia.  If we eliminate a majority of the lesser centers, will it limit our ability to stock and staff militia to help protect the regions from rouge attacks?  Super centers, to label high value resources, might be prohibitive cost wise for rural regions.  Perhaps the Cities focus on the super centers and others make up the difference, allowing for militia placement and stocking.  Super centers, such as the infantry in Parm, might be held until such time as others are available.  At that time, if no longer needed they could be replaced. <br />
 +
<br />
 +
A slow role would seem to be most helpful as we will not likely be successful in massive change due to time, cost and potential threats that may arise during our transition.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
These are some of the items that I have been pondering since the discussions have been occurring.  I will say I am grateful Duke Rearden now has archers to help build our militia.  Salta will likely hire some in the near future to help with rouge incursions.<br />

If we were to say, keep 4 centers at all times, each day we would only have a 60% chance of getting a good center: whereas if we smash every center that's not already in our "good" guidelines, we would get 90%, then 80%, then 70%........<br />
 +
<br />
 +
There would be a perfect number, in theory, that we could mathematically do this "slowly" but since the guildmasters are so private and fickle, we can never know the actual percent chance each day per center to get a good one, and it is best to just go the full distance right away to be sure we are at least getting our gold's worth.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As for militia, as a realm we could spread out with our units and work as we have been to be sure the rogue threat stays minimal during this time. It will take all of us.<br />

The tax income from Parm after all this time still blows my mind.<br />

I believe someone said a few months ago that the issue of too slow growth was being addressed by Devs? <br />

Are there the birth increase scrolls on this continent?<br />
 +
Would you guys be interested in me asking for the increase rations option on this continent?  It is expensive, but can increase growth ~10%.<br />

I'm thinking we nee anything to improve the situation.<br />

I'm not entirely clear on if a city we can do this in phases.  Tear down RCs in a city and adjacent regions, build RCs in that city and then move on to the next city.  Slimbar could be a place to determine if that is the case.  I don't believe we have enough gold at this time to do it all at once. <br />

I had very low population as well in Avamar.  I was able with help get population up like it should be.  This is what I did.  Declared a few holidays.  Build something like a repair shop, or a place where scouts can be trained.  Those types of things.  Each region has different economy things you can build some may be able to be build while others can't.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
You see if the peasants are happy and have a place to work they may move into the region.  That helped me.  It may not help you but you never know.  What do you have to lose.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If you need help with gold to do some of this then contact me I possibly may be able to help.<br />

As for the RC discussion I had forgotten about militia.  Militia needs to be troops that are cheep.  Even if someone gets men and then drops them as militia the Lord would still have to pay those men every week.  And that would be the pay they would get if they stayed in town to guard the town or if they were out doing battle on the battlefield.  I know it has been stated that we just can continue to battle the undead when they come up but what happens when we are at war?  We won't have men to go around cutting down undead.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
If we had a good amount of nobles then we could have had two different armies one to help within the realm and another to fight when we are attacked by another realm.</p>

I speak to you.  Dale and Obando need Lords.  If you would put yourself forward as willing to be a Lord of this region then you can improve the gold income of this Realm.  In a time of peace and growth, this is the biggest contribution you can make to the Realm.  If you need guidance there are many experienced Lords and Dukes who can provide this guidance.<br />

Thank you for the advice. I had not heard of a shop improving population growth.  As a Lord, I cannot declare holidays or hold festivals.  Since I am proposing we spend our gold on RCs, I will rely on my family to fund gold for building.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Your concern about militia and troops is why I am investigating whether or not the RC reconstruction can be done in phases.  One city and its surrounding regions at one time.  As for war, we appear to be far removed from the possibility of war.  Based on the battle reports we have, without cavalry or a cohesive army strategy we cannot defend a region without fortifications.  However, with our noble count, gold, wealth and recent history - I believe only Eponllyn represents a significant threat to Sirion.<br />

I see in Ashforth starvation is oppressive and literally killing all human life in the region.  Can we not prevent this great loss of life?<br />

|Content=<p>Molly ordered her troop to move to Ashforth to see how the region was fairing.  Upon arrival it was clear the region was in dire shape.  Starvation was rampant.  The locals barely reacted to her presence.  A few came to her camp pleading for scraps.  She was amazed that any had survived the Winter.  Captain Didelia was ordered to share what supplies as could be spared, in an orderly fashion.  Fortunately the locals were in such poor shape they meagerly accepted the aid and did not over run the Blade.  Some pleaded for Sirion to resume rule, hoping this would end their suffering.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Upon review, Molly made notes to be sent to the Realm Council of her visit and the potential of taking the City..
 +
<blockquote>
 +
<p>You are about to take control of an enemy region. This will take a while to complete, quite possibly several days. Every unit of your realm present in the region will have options to support the takeover during that time. The only thing you are doing here is initiating the process.</p>
 +
 +
<p>Our realm is running low on the number of nobility for the amount of regions it owns. If you keep conquering more regions without gaining more nobility, you will soon be unable to add more regions to your realm without a ruler or duke abandoning some first.</p>

Please stop building more RCs until we decide on a set of guidelines. This is a military request.<br />

If you need to build Militia RCs (ie those with average stats) then that should be ok. But please don't build any RCs with high stats for now.<br />

I understand you are wanting to focus on RC.  But if you were able to bring up population then you could bring up the tax rate then you would have more gold for your RC.  Just a thought.</p>

Agreed, but I will use my family wealth to fund the buildings in Tabost.  I will ask that you keep your gold for the RCs.  I built a Scouts Guild already.  My other problem has been the population of Tabost moving to Dale.  A Lord in Dale would greatly help my Tabost's recovery.<br />

I've done a lot of hard work based on the advisors advice.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Here is my proposal of RCs to keep and destroy, based on the following criteria:
 +
<ol>
 +
<li>Destroy all Non Ranged SF RCs</li>
 +
<li>Destroy all MI RCs with range less than 3</li>
 +
<li>Destroy all Arch &amp; SF RCs with range less than 4</li>
 +
<li>Destroy all good RCs (Good means any stat above 75) except those in cities.</li>
 +
<li>Destroy the two good INF RCs in Oroya and Avamar (Good means any stat above 75) just to reduce the total number of good INF RCs and because these two are not that large or good compared to the three large ones we are going to keep.</li>

As some of you may know, while not as prestigious as many families here, my family is quite rich. We need gold, for this RC project - therefore any Lord that works with our Lord Commander and our Good Marshal Solomon I will personally invest in their region to facilitate the RC Project. Should the Couriers be interested in helping the Lord keep house for the week or two afterwards, an investment will generally bring in a good chunk of gold on tax day.<br />

As the beautiful Lady Lerrina, our High Arbiter, stated she has special considerations, as does brave Sir Naismith. I am the sole noble at this time in Galadrim. I am unsure as to why Henri is not in an army and so believe his Lord/Lady shoul place him in Lyanna's Wrath.<br />

<br />

I believe you are trying to move too fast or your timeline is not apparent to me.  If we cannot replace the RCs with the new RCs due to a lack of gold, then there is no need to tear down the RCs.  We may be able to do this in a phased approach - when means one city and adjacent regions at a time tear down and rebuild.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
I do not know if an actual strategy of what RCs will be built after the teardown has been chosen.  If we leave high quality infantry RCs up, then we will continue to have an army composition with no focus and therefore fail in the ultimate goal of this RC renovation.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I have been slow to generate a draft of a plan, but I believe a fully fleshed out plan will be required to gain the agreement of the Lords.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Regards,</p>

I want to voice my sound agreement with this: Good Eisenritter said thus, if you recall:
 +
<blockquote>
 +
<p>I will simplify what you need to do here.<br />
 +
1. <strong>Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.</strong><br />
 +
<br />
 +
2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.</p>
 +
</blockquote>
 +
<br />
 +
Which you'll notice also means that "We may be able to do this in a phased approach" is also pretty much out the door. We have no defense now against our neighbors, it's hardly relevant if we are in the middle of this and they declare on us. Rogue is a larger concern: however, since we are focusing on MI's first, it will be a very short time before we are protected from rogue fully once again. I would recommend finding out just how much gold people have to spare, and also ordering a refit of the army: these are the things that will choose our next course of action - our gold stores, and how many nobles are actively monitoring orders.<br />

I'm not gong too fast, I'm asking anyone to tear anything down at this point at all. I'm just trying to see who agrees and who disagrees, that's all. If anyone disagrees out of those 10 region Lords then we may as well give up now. Only if we get total agreement can this work.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Regarding your other points:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
1. We will get the gold if everyone pitches in. Sometimes you just have to go for it.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
2.  Phased approach is impossible. In order to maximise our chances we have to tear down maximum number of good RCs.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
3. We are leaving very few High quality RCs up. Exactly 5. We can't cut it back any further.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
4. The rebuild policy in my opinion should be:<br />
 +
- Build initially just in Sirion city, Avamar city and Sir Temple. Those 3 regions are our only fully recovered regions that can host level 4 RCs.<br />
 +
- Concentrate on high quality Range 3 MI and also high quality Cavalry (By high quality I mean minimum stats of 75/75/75) .<br />
 +
-  After that go for high quality range 4 Archers and high quality ranged 4/5 SF<br />
 +
-  Don't build any infantry however good.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Respects<br />

Callout for the good responses from Brock Ketchum, Naismith Willarc and Lerriana Leather to welcome this new guy. Even though this one didn't stay, the realm did several things that have been identified as ways to keep new players: having an active newsfeed, getting new player-content messages within 20 minutes, other players trying to include the new player right away in the "story", and similar. While there is plenty of work to be done in theorizing exactly what keeps a player, these things, as well as diversified content have been pointed out as good things to start with. Good show, keep that up and we might get this realm even <em>growing </em>again :D</p>

Fine, if you think we can't afford cav then we can add that to the debate. I think thats not strictly true, I have an expensive SF unit but I could afford cav. I just dont do it because I mostly fight rogue and I dont like wasting gold on cav that will die in rogue battles. Personalty I think we should have a couple of decent cav RCs for those that want it but if Senator Solomon and others also say cav is too expensive then we can concentrate on MI and archers instead.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
And these high quality cav RCs you talk about in the southeast can only be obtained by soundly beating and taking enemy cities. There is no chance we can do that. My purpose is to put Sirion on a war footing so that we can defend ourselves, not to come up with a fantasy scheme based on taking enemy cities.<br />

 +
"Game of Drones" may be more suitable perhaps...Apologies for the sarcasm and I know that change is not possible, but the internet is full of bad reviews, on all subjects, which have simply been  misunderstood and come to the wrong conclusion. Whenever a candidate jumps to that point it becomes much harder to keep their interest.<br />

I know I should try and keep my character as interesting as possible. I promise to try harder, though I warn you all, boredom may be the outcome.</p>

Yes, until we create our new good RCs in Sirion Avamar and Sir Temple, all other RC production would stop and Hillmar and Glinmar would be out of fresh militia. You would have to police those regions yourselves until RC production was allowed again.<br />

The RC revamp has not begun it is still in discussion, and I believe will remain that way till all parties agree to the changes to some degree.<br />
 +
There are documents that have been shown, and I'm sure can be brought back of the list of RC in all Sirion showing the qualities.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Sirion,<br />
 +
<br />
 +
My opinion on the militia is that in the time it takes us to bring back our RCs we should have no issues defending our own regions.<br />
 +
I would suggest most lords in their desire to defend their regions when the revamp takes place is switching our units to very cheap archers or MI from a region that is not a city so we will be able to leave said RC available for refits during the time.<br />
 +
This would also save the Lords gold in the mean time not paying for militia and also holding a cheaper unit.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As far as the RC in my region of Limbar I see no reason to maintain it the quality I am sure is pitiful, and I would prefer to save the cost of maintenance until a decision is made on the revamp so I will be able to help fund those in need a little better.<br />

|Content=<p>I made one mistake. Defenders of the faith RC belongs to Elmbar, not Limbar, its being destroyed because archer range is 3 not 4 max.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Anyway it means Lord Brian doesn't need to destroy anything in Limbar and can be removed from the agree list.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
So looking at the agree list, this is what we have now:<br />
 +
<br />
 +
Leofric Kubo - No messages for about 3 weeks<br />
 +
Brock Ketchum - Agreed<br />
 +
Lorenzo Falconi - Agreed<br />
 +
Tyr Erickson. - No messages for about 3 weeks<br />
 +
Lerriana Leather -<br />
 +
Rearden Arylon - Agreed<br />
 +
Ivo Mersault - Agreed<br />
 +
Jay II Fireborn - Some doubts<br />
 +
Razo Carmel - Agreed<br />
 +
<br />
 +
So we're waiting for Leofric, Tyr, Lerriana, and Jay II to give their answers.</p>

<p>I agree with you, Rea, about how to keep new players and we should start by changing the name of the game which has now become misleading.<br />
 +
"Game of Drones" may be more suitable perhaps...Apologies for the sarcasm and I know that change is not possible, but the internet is full of bad reviews, on all subjects, which have simply been  misunderstood and come to the wrong conclusion. Whenever a candidate jumps to that point it becomes much harder to keep their interest.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
I know I should try and keep my character as interesting as possible. I promise to try harder, though I warn you all, boredom may be the outcome.</p>

I've only ever been able to find a few reviews ever about BM, thankfully. Most are positive, with the rant on the bay whatever forums and the the gibberish on the PBBG site the only two bad ones I have seen. Hell, I had to use "battlemaster -dnd -battletech -wow -starwars -transformers -hearthstone -sega -rifle -runescape -graven -swtor -vang" just to get down to BM results just now and the bay whatever forum didnt even show up anymore, just https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/battlemaster-medieval-online-rpg.868988/ and https://pbbg.com/games/battlemaster :D<br />
 +
<br />
 +
As for game of drones, that's always been a far too large part of BM, and that's something that's always on the Design team's mind...if you have any ideas to lift some of that off of the game, the forums, discord, or honestly just letting me know (I'll take it to the discussion) and you might see your ideas make it into reality - this group(both here and those of us on discord) has already brought forward ideas for a few bug fixes, volunteer pages, and a nice RCs page for the general that all already exist and will be live in the next update, as well as DevBlog, Battlefields, and I'm sure a bunch of stuff that's on my list and not credited that's already approved for future updates.</p>

Sorry if I came off brash, I just wanted to point out that the likelihood of that suggestion being viewed unfavorably by the titans is rather high and didn't want anyone to get in trouble for it. It's not like the rules are all in one official place and my attempts to drive the titans to do something about that nearly two years ago have had....underwhelming results.</p>

It has been a full week since your investigation began into the assault committed by your own judge against an adventurer without provocation.  Given that you are now requesting that adventurers enter Shadowdale to assist in the repair of an item, would be it be reasonable to assume that you have come to a conclusion on this case?<br />

Revision as of 21:21, 1 March 2023

Contents


(( Out-of-Character Note: This page is for the...Saved roleplays, letters, and discussions from when Sirion had Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach visit to provide advice and assessments of the military infrastructure of the realm in regards to Recruitment Centers. Many thanks to Rea (behind the Rea Family, playing Sir Dominic Rea) and Zakky (behind the Felsenbach Family, playing Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach. Many around the community know him as Zakky from when he played the Lappallanch Family, particularly Zakilevo Lappallanch in my case...) for making this happen with their characters, which in turn engaged other Sirion players (and their characters) to chime in and contribute to discussions, and overall help create something to engage with for the Sirion playerbase, as well as -attempt- to refresh and update the realm's military capabilities. ))

Eisenritter Felsenbach
Knight of Fontan

High Commander Lorenzo, and Marshal Solomon, what region should I put him up in to be most available to you?

Letter from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Sir Dominic,


I think that Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach would be a good Lord for Dale. It is a central region and If he can put 3 good RCs in that region then they will supply militia for Dale, Salta , Obando and Tabost. I will supply him with 800 gold which should be enough to put 3 level 1 RCs in Dale. If they are of reasonable quality We can expand them.

Dale also needs a granary and a scouts guild, we can help him with gold for that too.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi
High Commander of Sirion
Senator of Trinbar

I was under the impression he would be visiting our lands as an advisor, not that he would be joining our realm...although if you are able to convince him otherwise, we could use the help. I doubt that you'll be able sway him to our banner unless you can offer him an estate that is several hundred gold a week to replace the one he has in Fontan.

Report from Nemean JeVondair Renodin

Message sent to everyone in Adventurer's Guild (42 recipients)

Members of the Guild,


This letter is about history. It speaks of the days that inspire the present. It is an offer and a chance.

In some three days time I will receive family in Domus. A small city that sits in the middle of our continent. There will be those among you that recall the days of the Imperium. The heights of Highmarch. The Path of Ashes. The merging of the Horselords and the Redwing. The days that saw the blue turn to gold. An arm is reached to Perdan where yet again more are found that hail from a long legacy that finds terminus in blood. Quickening veins and stirring memory. Not blood shed idly but blood that gave life. Family.

Remember the days of Greater Xavax, the Era that saw great Migrations, where legend was made flesh and walked among us. You will know that they do still. To those that hold this dear and remember, know that you are welcome at my hearth. It is a select gathering but we will know our own. Make up your mind for there is time needed for traveling. This is nothing more than a gathering to once more look upon one another. To break bread and share wine as we once did. Our people. Of the olden days and those that came after but never had a chance to witness the time of their parents or simply those of which they descend. It is not lost. Only hope is forgotten at times. But you can gain it again.

Sans import other than legacy, you will know welcome. The Castellan will permit you entry into my castles and I will welcome you in the gathering.

Wings unfurled,

Nemean JeVondair Renodin
Patriarch of Caligus
Royal of Caligus
Ambassador of Caligus

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Lords Leofric, Brock and Lerriana,


There is now a chance to tidy up our duchies by you three region Lords transferring allegiance.

I would like to see Glinmar & Hillmar transfer to my duchy of Anarionath, and see Avamar transfer from Anarionath to the duchy of Sirion. I would actually lose income on this since Avamar is richer than the other two regions combined, but I support such a move because it's geographically neater.

I hope that the Lords of these three regions agree and are willing to transfer. I hope that Speaker Ivo also supports this change.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi

Report from Lerriana Leather

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

It seems Avamar is going to stay where she is.



As the lord of Avamar, you can change the allegiance of your region to a different duchy. At this time, Avamar is a part of the duchy of Anarionath.

You can switch to other duchies in the following situations:

  1. When at least one region of that duchy is a bordering neighbour of your region.
  2. When you are in a region of that duchy. This means you can switch to any duchy you desire simply by travelling there and pledging your allegiance.
  3. By meeting a duke in person, by both of you being in the same region.
  4. By a duke visiting your region, by travelling to your region.
  5. By meeting a duke at a tournament you attend.

If the duchy you switch your region to belongs to a different realm, you and all your knights will automatically join that realm. Your knights will not follow you to the new realm if they are already banished from that realm.

Duchies you can Join

There are currently no duchies available for selection.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Sir Dominic,


Your statement does not match reality. If that was true then no reorganization in any realm would be possible, but we see that many realms have sensibly structured contiguous regions in their duchies that were obviously planned. Reorganization goes on all the time in many realms. Nothing strange about it, its absolutely normal.

Signed

Letter from Dominic Rea

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Says the man that called for the very idea. Perhaps save the insults for later, after you've countered my point? I could care less about other realms, as Sirion has been historically the pride of the island, and as such, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard then others, rather then just "reaching the same level." Oaths are not sets of clothes to be shucked off and replaced at any whim. While there is a great many reasons for a Lord to swear fealty to a new Duke, "because it make the map look nicer" is a rather poor reason. It's not as if there is any monetary or control reasons to do so: the peasants and merchants care less if the region they work is contiguous with the rest of it's Duchy.


Perhaps you should try to personally message the lords you wish to swap to you, and convince them that you are a better Duke then the one they have. I hear lower tax rates and more engaged Dukes tend to get larger duchies....

Sir Dominic,


The only person who issued an insult was you. I just explained how you were wrong. Clearly, plainly, demonstrably wrong. Its not an insult to be proven wrong. But you said of me "Says the man that called for the very idea" which is an insult implying I'm insincere and only speaking for defending my idea.

Now I'm going to resist the impulse to insult you back and let it rest.

Sirion,


Lord Leofric and Lord Brock have Sworn allegiance to Anarionath. With that, the Duchy is now complete. All our rearward areas are gathered into a single duchy.

Glinmar - Lord Leofric Kubo
Hillmar - Lord Brock Ketchum
Sir Temple - Duke Lorenzo Falconi
Tallbar - Lord Tyr Erickson

Anarionath is a duchy of some importance to our history. Sir Temple, its seat, is the birthplace of Elvendom on this continent. Sir Temple was the first capital of Sirion and the site of the First Temple of the Elves. It is the most Holy place to our culture.

If at some point in the future we can take the region of Rollbar, which has a decent gold income, then all regions in the duchy will be linked. Not likely in the near future, but we can wish.

Sir Dominic,


How can you prioritize the Nivemus capital (wherever that is) over the heartland of Sirion? You seem more concerned with resurrecting Nivemus than with the traditional strength of Sirion which is its heartland.

Abandon this dangerous idea. I am the Duke of Anarionath and have sworn oaths to protect it. I will not allow it to be abandoned.

If you want to take a particular region then there are at least two poor regions we can abandon, Dale and Obando. Every single region in Anarionath is much better than those two regions. If you have a problem with that assessment then you don't care about facts.

I prioritize Sirion City, as it is our historical capital, and I prioritize regions that aren't in the middle of nowhere, far away from the rest of the nobility on the island. Making the realm look like swiss cheese is also a very poor choice, as we struggle to hold regions when they are far apart for a multitude of reasons. You are the one not caring about facts, just some dusty tomes in someone's basement...and even then, Sir temple has an equal (or lesser even) weight with regards to our shared realm history to Ashforth, so even that is a completely irrelevant talking point.


You can have your damn titles if they are so painfully important to you, no one is saying you can't. It's that it is stupid to have those titles in the lands that we shouldn't be holding when there are perfectly good lands available right here.

Report from Rearden Arylon

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Quickly I would like to weigh in as the former long time Lord of Sir Temple. There was some talk of abandoning her in the past when I took the city on, but we chose to keep it. The main reason people felt we should keep it was the infrastructure and recruitment centers that were there. That was not an illogical concern.


That said, though, I am one of the voices that is in favor of moving toward contiguous borders. Ashforth has slightly more gold than Sir Temple and is in a strategically important location, and would nicely add to our contiguous borders. It would not immediately be productive, but its population is actually fairly good right now, and when I was briefly lord there, I actually invested a LOT of my gold in the local economy. So it is probably in pretty good shape.

Regarding cultural history and what not, I do not consider those to be real arguments either in favor or in opposition to EITHER of these locations, whether it is Sirion's historical ownership of the Temple or Nivemus's capital being Ashforth. If you have a long enough memory and a knowledge of history, virtually all northern cities and rural communities are "historically ours" and all of them have been at various times under our banner, or sometimes in the control of rogues, or perhaps even enemies. Sirion's history can not be a prison to lock ourselves into... we need to make rational decisions for today based on the current geopolitical environment. Sir Temple is no less important to Sirion if we were to withdraw from the city than if we were to keep it. Ashforth would just be more important to us in comparison, if we were to make that decision.

And my opinion is that we should. Ashforth is more valuable to us, and more useful to us than is the Temple. Importantly, our firm western wall of regions also means that no one is going to realistically "sneak behind" us to take it. If they somehow did, we could respond quickly and easily.

In addition to this, I would like to address one thing regarding duchies as well.

I would like to see one region (at least) from the Duchy of Osmeneliath shift to the Duchy of Oroya, for two main reasons: first the reasonable spread of regions across our duchies in general. Osmeneliath has 5, and I have only 2... having one move over would give Osmeneliath 4 and Oroya 3. Still uneven, but much closer and would make the whole realm much more equal.

Secondly is income. Oroya city is still not giving me much in the way of gold and my personal gold reserves are nearly gone. I can keep subsidizing myself for a little while, but income is important, and any opportunity to get more (as Duke) would be helpful.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Realm,


Regarding Sir Temple. First thing to say is that it is my region, and my duchy, and I take my duties very seriously to my people, Lords and Commoners alike. Moreover the cultural significance of the region is priceless to a man like me who values culture. If Sir Temple is given up without overwhelmingly good reasons, I will consider it a betrayal of Anarionath by the realm and I will be leaving Sirion.

Secondly this argument Sir Rearden has set up about Sir Temple vs Ashforth, is a straw man... a fake argument to justify abandoning Sir Temple. We can easily keep both regions by abandoning a bad rural region instead. Either Obando or Dale are prime candidates for abandonment, two regions so poor that we haven't even bothered to appoint a Lord for them.

Now to Sir Reardens prejudice about only keeping Contiguous regions ie only those regions joined up to the rest of the realm. It is dangerous nonsense that if applied would fatally weaken the realm.. The whole of Anarionath Duchy plus Avamar is non contiguous. To follow Sir Rearden's logic we would have to abandon at least 4 out of 5 of these excellent regions. The idea is as mad as anything! These regions are under total control and present no difficulty in administration. They provide food and wealth and strategic depth that Sirion has always relied upon in times of war. Plus if we abandon them it will create a bigger vacuum in the north enticing other realms to have a go.

As a military man I cannot emphasize how bad Sir Reardens ideas are strategically. If we start abandoning non contiguous regions we abandon the north and those things that have kept us safe throughout the ages. Our position holding the north with no rivals behind us, our strategic depth, some of our best regions. Why this knight thinks these ideas are good I cannot fathom. No enemy throughout the ages has ever been as dangerous to Sirion as these bad ideas.

For Sirion!

Report from Rearden Arylon

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

I'm a patient man, High Commander, but I must admit to being long since tired of your lectures to us being justified by your being a "military man."


My family has among the known world's most accomplished military backgrounds, with a long list of strategists and commanders that have led armies and won wars going back to the now-drowned continent of Atamara. I personally resent the constant implication that you, more than anyone else, understand military strategy and that the rest of us are mewling children who know nothing of war and conflict. I furthermore resent the implication that disagreeing with you -- as you and I frequently have over the issue of milita, and other issues -- is some kind of dispute between someone who knows the military, and someone who doesn't. I would match my tactical knowledge with any soul alive.

I will remind you that I am the last man who led Sirion into and then out of war in my service as Lord Speaker. I take your comment about how "bad" my ideas are strategically as a personal insult, and one so aggravating that I am tempted to cross swords over it, though I have yet to find anyone in this realm or beyond that can match my swordsmanship, so my likely victory would not bring me much satisfaction.

More to the point, though, I would like you to stop making gigantic leaps of inference and telling the people of this realm that I said something, when I said nothing of the kind.

For instance, my exact words were that I favored "moving toward contiguous borders." I did not call for an entirely contiguous realm... if I did then I would have to advocate for the loss of Tallbar too... but given Tallbar's incredible food production that would be disastrous for us. What I favor -- and pay attention to this so that you don't continue to misrepresent what I say -- is that we have a mindfulness to the importance of being as contiguous as possible. When presented the choice between holding either Sir Temple or Ashforth, given the near-identical nature of the two (with Ashforth being slightly better on gold), the benefit of making the realm more contiguous was a positive argument in favor of shifting to Ashforth.

And while I'm listing my grievences, if you ever accuse me of making a "fake argument" again, I will personally ride to Sir Temple and cut your head off myself. Such an insult is beyond my tolerance and I will not stand for it. And for the record, I am not "this Knight," as though I am some young, anonymous sellsword. I am the former Lord Speaker of Sirion, and currently both a Duke and a Governor. If you are going to lie and misrepresent what I say, the least you could do is show an ounce of respect for the blood I have shed for this realm.

Back to your absurd statement, you act like I have some kind of burning desire to offload Sir Temple, entirely ignoring the fact that I was its previous Governor, Falconi. Much of the infrastructure of the city is my doing. I loved my estate there, and deeply cherish its people. I have no interest or intention of "justifying" anything, I was simply weighing in on the debate about what we are to do, and where we are to go. If my perspective doesn't win out, I have no intention of throwing a temper tantrum or rage-quitting my realm as you seem to intend.

Incidentally, speaking of fake arguments, you created an entire scenario which is not only not recommended by me, but also a complete misrepresentation of what would happen anyway. If we abandoned some non-contiguous regions, for instance, we could theoretically take some current rogue regions and MAKE places like Avamar contiguous. It is not a choice of "abandoning 4 our of 5" of our regions... and anyway, I was not referencing all non-contiguous regions anyway, as I've already made clear.

The one worthwhile thing you said in that screed, Lord Commander, is that there may be other options that would prevent us from having to choose between the Temple and Ashforth. That is true, though Obando and Dale do have value as well, and blithely dismissing them as expendable without weighing the relative pros and cons of the various regions is foolhearty.

My last word: Republics can only function if the nobility is able to think and speak freely as to their opinions . You all know me, I have never insulted anyone in this realm, even when provoked, and my last message to the realm was reasonable and honest. The Lord Commander's was neither.

If we are to debate the merits of ideas, let us act like mature adults as we do so.

High Commander Lorenzo,


It is shocking to hear you state - if you overwhelmingly disagree with the Realm's decision that you would abandon your oaths and duty. Your duty is first to Sirion not commoners or Lords - instead their duty is to serve you. We sacrifice Lord and commoners in service of Sirion - not the other way around. Regardless, your Lords and knights will not leave so you would abandon them as well. Let us have discussion without ultimatums. I ask and encourage you to retract your statement.

Sirion must be stronger to defend itself. The region change is based in survival and defense. You yourself have said Ashforth would serve to provide an excellent defense to our Southern border.

First thing that we can be in agreement on. It has been known that many rogue regions surrounding our region can cause rogue attack. When rogue attack happens, either we station militia which caused drain in our food productivity or we station the region lord which caused Sirion military strength to decrease in any frontline war. Or we do none of these two actions and let the rogue damage our rural region or drive it rogue which does not look like a region lord acceptable code of conduct.

Second thing that I am sure we all can agree upon. We all like cities or stronghold. City produces gold more. No matter Ashforth city, Oroya city or Sir Temple itself. However a city or stronghold requires food from rural region as it does not feed itself. Usually it is an ideal situation if we have 3 rural regions to feed 1 city. While I do not possess data on our food situation, this will have to be provided by our good dependable Banker.

In a conclusion, we need balance our good need(city) and our food need(rural). Do we wish to see ourselves having to buy food from abroad, from another foreign realm just because we cant feed our own cities?

Letter from Razo Carmel

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)


I just wish to respond to Senator Brock's very useful letter and provide my take of what I think of Sirion's food balance, now and future.

Sirion is food rich; second to Caligus but that is only because our recent lengthy drought was not also effected in the same way by Caligus.

The figures I now keep you are based on summer data which also happens to be the realm's annual average. I have rounded them and adjusted populations to simulate full restoration.

On that basis the realm's net supply is 190 bushels per day, made up of a surplus of 265 bushels and a deficit of 75 bushels.

As expected most of the surplus comes from the four top rural regions and any two of those fully satisfy the total deficit.
Our individual city supply needs are quite spread with the largest daily deficit of 40 bushels belonging to Parm while in contrast Sir Temple actually enjoys a daily surplus of 5 busheels. By comparison Ashford would have a net daily deficit of 13 bushels which is not signifiant compared to the total realm supply.

I conclude that our food supply is safe as long as we at least maintain our current rural regions and are not visited by too many unusually long droughts like we have just had.

I hope this has been useful. I am always happy to discuss the food system I use with anyone who will listen.

Letter from Brian M. Cameron

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

I have just noticed the expansion and shrinking of some realms. Caligus now borders. I considered them a friend when I was Lord Commander I am not sure if they have changed their tune much, but I know we have one of their nobles here speaking of RC reform. That can be good; though my initial thought was why on earth are we giving away the structure of our military away.


As to Senator Solomon's point about nobles I agree that our main focus should always be to increase our noble count. To touch on his referendum I saw no issue with the Senator beginning the Referendum it forces no hand it is simply a poll to see how the realm feels about a certain topic. If we are to gain another noble Ashforth would for sure be a good acquisition as long as it does not infringe on the previous agreement we had with Eppollyn.

Something I also noticed is that no realm has an ally this has changed only slightly since I last looked where Shadowdale and Eppollyn were the sole allies; seems there could be some tension between the two since we gave up Ashforth as suspected might happen.

I will stop here to not bore you all with any more of my thoughts.

Senator Brian,


Excellent observations. Due to your letter I had my scribes provide me reports. Eponllyn has lost 8 nobles over the last 3 months. They have been forced to shrink their Realm's size as a result. According ot the reports, Eponllyn cannot capture more regions. Therefore, Eponllyn is limited in its war capacity - a war with them would mean no concern of our regions being taken over. Based on their makeup of regions, I expect they could not feed Ashforth when they could no longer retain all of their rurals.

The other Realms have had a momentary increases or decreases of nobles, but have remained fairly stable. Sirion has been the most stable in nobles which is a testament of greatness to its nobles.

I'm in Sirion City with a handful of others. I do not know exactly what information was shared before I arrived, but since I have arrived our discussion has been military theory and information that is widely available. I share your concern about sharing too much information.

Fellows,


In Sirion city we have discussed the below two battles. Eponllyn has used cavalry to great affect. Cavalry do not suffer the problems due to the weather as archers do and therefore are more reliable. Cavalry are only poor in attacks on fortifications. By my count we have plenty of nobles who could afford 90 cavalry, matching Eponllyn's calvary force in the below Battle in Troyes. I indicated, but did not lie, to our guest that we could not afford that cavalry. I did this to obfuscate our capabilities.

Our other discussion has been about the Astrum special. An army made up of mixed infantry, archers and special forces. That army will not struggle with fortifications, but can be run down by a heavy opposing cavalry force.

We recognize every noble has a right to choose their troops. We can explain our strategy, ask and have the right RCs for our strategy.

I have no doubt the Horsemasters have used magic in some attempt at the old adage about 'if we can't have it nobody can'. Instead they have only given us a good target to practice our army line-up on. I think even High Commander Lorenzo can agree on the very simple premise that 200 undead on our borders is a security threat and needs to be dealt with.

Sir Solomon,


So the only decent cavalry center we have is in Parm. The solution is obvious. Sirion city and Avamar city have only three RCs each so the cost of building another RC will be not be too high for those cities. The Lords of those two cities could concentrate on producing one good cavalry RC each. If successful, we would triple our cavalry production.

I assume that if we try this we are only interested in good RCs. what would you say was a minimum requirement? 70/70/70 ?

High Commander Lorenzo,


If we were to pursue a more cavalry heavy army we would tear down RCs first. That requires a discussion, a plan and agreement. However, we must immediately freeze building more RCs.

Cities should only build the high quality RCs, while rural and townsland regions should create the other RCs. In this way, once we get the rare good high quality RC we can expand it to the largest possible size. We do not need size 4 RCs in the cities of low quality RCs, if the rurals we'll always keep behind the front lines provide those troops. RCs increase in cost as you build more - by spreading the RCs around we reduce the total cost of a RC renovation.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Senator Solomon,


I have some observations to make. Please give them careful consideration because its not a simple matter. These are far reaching and expensive investments and we must be careful of not causing more damage than benefit.

1. Sirion knights do not tend to choose cavalry because most of our fighting is against rogue and we tend to optimize with ranged troops to fight rogue. Lets say that some knights choose cavalry to fight a human war. We will still only have say three knights willing and able to field large cavalry units, so we are looking at a total build of say three level 4 cavalry RCs. So we already have one such RC, I judge that two more are enough for our needs.

2. I am against destroying existing RCs in our cities because everyone knows that producing good RCs was easier in the old days. That is why we have a lot of good ancient RCs. The time and effort to replace them would be very high and we might not even get good replacements because nowadays if you already have existing good RCs the new ones tend to be lower quality. It's a gamble I think unnecessary.

3. Also the existing RCs we have in cities are more useful than you might think. Take for example Avamar, it has three mediocre RCs, but its an isolated forward city and they are pretty useful if you need to put up a lot of reasonably priced militia in a hurry. I wouldn't want Avamar to lose them.

4. Building a new cavalry RC in Sirion or Avamar is not that expensive. Because they only have three RCs each. Even my region of Sir Temple which has 4 RCs, the cost of a cavalry RC is only 625 gold which is very affordable. In Sirion and Avamar it will be even cheaper. Once the first level of an RC is built the cost does not go up due to the number of RCs I think, so we won't get any benefit for levels 2, 3 and 4 by destroying existing RCs, and that's the most expensive part, especially level 4.

In summary, we should not destroy existing RCs, we should instead build two new cavalry RCs, one in Avamar and one or even two in Sirion city. The only question in my mind is how good do we want those RCs to be? What are the minimum stats required?

Respects

Realm,


Is Sir Dominic correct? Are the nobles gathered in Sirion city incapable or unwilling to forward messages? Or even to pass on contact details? What a sorry state of affairs if true. I don't see how we can fight a war if we can't even pass on messages.

Very well, since no one seems to be able to forward messages I will depart Sir Temple and physically travel to Sirion city to take part in the discussions. What a sorry state of affairs.

Horses are vital so we cant rely on a single city to provide them, so i agree, we need one new top quality cavalry RC in Sirion and Avamar as they are our two bastion cities.

Quality? It will depend, 70 on weapons should be the minimum standard.

My Lords,


It has been pointed out to me, that i could be helping by claiming the lordship of Trinbar, and still holding Parm. I think that Trinbar could be holded with militia while i can remain protecting Parm from within the walls and moving in and out of Trinbar to perform mantainance work.

I have commited myself to restore this city so i would like your point of view on this matter.

I know everyone is very excited to do this RC project, but please put a hold on your excitement until after the Marshal gives you some direction.

Takeover

Report from Dominic Rea

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

The guidelines are going back and forth, and have largely stalled without your input. The general summary is that most centers will have to be tore down and replaced with the sort of general composition we want our army to have, and that the centers we do build should be of a very high quality to start, and to keep those centers within the Cities. We are, in general focusing on countering the apparently once again heavy Calvary of the Horsemasters. However, without the General being here, we can not continue discussion, as several decisions have to be made before we can move forward. Which is why I urge you to trust in your fellow nobles to defend the realm, instead of travelling sideways to witness every rogue battle yourself.


I must make this very, very clear: if the Horsemasters get any ideas about attacking us, we will fold immediately if you can't put trust in your own army. You can not be everywhere at once, and trying to do so will do nothing but cause wax burns on your fingers and sleepless nights on your horse. Leading isn't about being at the forefront of the charge: it's about being able to step back and see the bigger picture, to support and strategize with those below you to have the best overall result. Every single army on the island has a General and a Marshal position for that very reason: one noble focuses on the larger scale war, and the the other gets their hands muddy in the trenches with all the details. Some armies have tried to have the same noble do both, but it has always ended in dysfunction....at best. This same idea is how our very society works. We are ordained to lead above those that work the fields by blood, yes, but do we use our days to set the measurements between the seeds? In our class, do the region lords have to sit in their regions for days on end to worry about every little bureaucratic thing? That is what we have Courtiers for.

This here, is why you should have been in Sirion City days ago, High Commander. You are our highest level of military leadership, the man who is in change of working on the biggest picture. A single battle against rogue, or any single region in this realm are both lesser concerns for your position to the realm-wide concern of our RC situation. Delegate those things, High Commander. Empower your nobles, trust them, not burn yourself out running all over the place.

Duke Lorenzo

I am not in favor of building a Calvary center in my city. Personally I think Calvary is pricier then infantry and archers. And it would take a rich noble to be able to recruit and keep a Calvary unit in my mind. Plus how many nobles would want to have a Calvary unit in the first place? If there is not much of an appetite for nobles to recruit those types of units then to me it is folly to make more then one.

I say give the nobles a choice by having one they can recruit from and make it the biggest center it can be. But Calvary is only good in combat. They are not good for militia or PW so they are less versatile then other units.

Duke Lorenzo,

I tend to agree with High Arbiter Lady Lerriana with regard to the building of more Calvary RCs. While it is true that Sirion has only one Calvary RC, there are only two Centers which have more expensive recruits; both are ranged Special Forces. There already are some RCs which have excellent numbers in all categories from which our nobles can choose from.
To me, a better plan would be to increase the size of the best of these RCs so the availability of quality units can be utilized by all of our nobility depending on the funds available to them.

Best regards,

Creating Calvary RCs is premature, since we have not agreed on a strategy or plan.

If we did want to emphasize Calvary RCs one RC that has been enlarged is not nearly enough. Large Calvary RCs gain recruits very slowly. We would need more RCs to keep up with the demand for cavalry. I have seen 3 special forces RCs being unable to keep up with moderate demand for special forces in peacetime due to each RC only gaining 2 recruits per day.

Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach,


Greetings. I am Duke Lorenzo, High Commander (General) of Sirion. I have been away from Sirion city fighting rogue in the north and the west.But now I have returned and would hear your expert opinion on the state of our recruitment centers.

So could you please give me a summary of your findings, and what strategies we could employ to improve our fighting tactics. I am in particular intrigued by Astrum layered defense, but I welcome all your ideas.

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

Greetings, Commander Falconi,


Looks like you already got some of my letters. If you are interested in Astrum's mighty layered ranged walls, your priority would be to focus on getting three types of RCs.

Archer, Ranged SF and MIs. Among those, both archers and MIs will work as the backbone of your army. The ranged R5 RCs will be nice to have but those are not as important for Sirion since Sirion seems to lack the funds to run them effectively.

I'd suggest focusing on aiming for high quality archer and MI RCs first. Since your realm already has RCs with 100, you are unlikely to get any additional RCs with 100 on them. Of course there is still a chance but your chance of getting one will be very low.

Also, while the Astrum's army format is quite powerful and is known to be one of the most cost efficient ones, it has never been tested against a realm such as Eponllyn. As you may know, most realms on Dwilight can't run cavalry RCs since they need to focus on fighting rogues. And rogues are very good against cavalry units as they are not as weak and soft as us humans. To survive their cavalry units, you will definitely need to focus more on your MI RCs defense stats.

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

Personally, I think it might be better to purely focus on MI RCs only. You will certainly be lacking a bit of range but nothing having more MIs can't handle. MI units aren't afraid to engage enemies in melee and you won't have to bother much about them panicking over not having an infantry unit to prevent them from advancing forward.

Sir Eisenritter,


ok, So here is a proposed formation using your Astrum layered ranged army.

Have I understood correctly? Can it be improved? Please tell me what you think:

Range 3 MI - Middle box defensive
Range 4 SF & Range 4 Archers - Back line defensive
Range 5 SF - Rearguard Skirmish Defensive
Infantry - Rearguard Line Normal
Cavalry - Rearguard Aggressive wedge

For reference I believe we have some excellent ranged 4 SF but rather poor ranged 5 SF.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

I've had a good look at the RCs in the realm. Its not very impressive. Here are the production figures for good useful troops:


Infantry - About 600 good infantry.

Archers - About 300 good ranged 4 archers

MI - About 300 good ranged 3 MI

Ranged SF - 120 excellent but only range 4 SF.

Cavalry - About 20 excellent cavalry from a small damaged RC

Its a largely infantry base. We are far away from being able to create a cavalry army. If we want to allow nobles to convert infantry to MI then we need to provide more and better MI RCs. Also Ranged 5 SF need to be built.

If you have too many high quality infantry RCs, you may have to demolish them to increase your chances of getting good MIs. Otherwise, you will be betting on less than a percent chance to get a good one. If you have less than a percent chance to get it you will be spending a lot more gold and time to get one.


It would be cheaper to demolish the existing infantry RCs and focus on getting good MIs. Also, from the report I got, Sirion has too many RCs in Trinbar for no reason.

Yes but Trinbar has our best archer and MI RCs, all expanded to size 3. Its an invaluable resource. Also its right next to the capital so we can use it to reinforce Sirion militia if an enemy gets that close. I don't want to lose the excellent RCs in Trinbar. Its our cities that tend to have poor RCs. I don't know why.


I can get rid of a couple of high quality infantry RCs in Sir Temple up north, I just hesitate to destroy the work of decades.

High Commander,


I don't understand your point regarding wanting to have RCs in Trinbar over Sirion. Why would you want to use Trinbar's RCs to fortify Sirion when you can just have RCs in Sirion to fortify the city? Also, they are level 3. You can't even expand them to level 4 which is twice as big as level 3.

It doesn't matter there are good RCs in Trinbar. You need to get rid of them and have them built in your cities. It is mathematically unwise to try for good RCs in your cities when you already have them in non-city regions. Unless of course you want to do this RC project for over 300~500 days.

“Many people are complaining about the high taxes.
12 bushels of food had to be burnt because they were found to be rotten.”

”Wait, what? Why people complain about high tax?” Brock inquires further.

Taking another scroll out, Captain Max replies “Apparently the neighbouring regions must have aet the tax rate too low compared to Hillmar.”

”That must be it. By the way, have you instructed guard to go through the food before decided the food is completely rotten?” Brock continues on.

Captain Max replies “Yes, my lord.”

”Look like we have to go through this winter with many food losses. There is food deficit today, there will be many such days to come. Order the guards to protect the warehouse at all cost. Rotate the guards by shift. Noone should walk alone while on guard duty” Brock instructs.

Written down Brock instruction, Captain Max nods as he replies “It will be done immediately.”

As his Captain leaves the tent, Brock ponders over another parchment report on his desk. The men equipment damage is getting heavier each day.

Good day Sir Naismith. I understand you have been asking about the Realm's grain reserves? I can report that as of today the Chancellery's official statement has posted:

Total production: 140 bushels/day

Total consumption: 383 bushels/day

Total net: 243 bushel daily deficit

Total storage: 12472 bushels

The realm will run out of food in 51 days without extra imports.

I should point out that 51 days assumes we remain at the winter deficit given above; which is not true of course. In 51 days we will be enjoying our autumn bonanza of 737 daily surplus and having already had spring and summer surpluses, our granaries will be almost replenished ready for next winter. The report above is for today's average weather but even with a drought it would still be more accurate to say we will not run out of food.

I feel that I once again should note that unless we double our noble count, we will never hold the regions behind us with any strong hand: frankly we should be focusing on what regions to take from the honorless Horsemasters and the rebellious Southern Duchy to replace the regions on our backline that can no longer be well managed. As I have stated, we can deal with both Sir Temple and Tallbar by simply taking Ashforth and Obendorf: two regions we hold old claim over anyways. My old Lordship of Hillmar and the neighboring Gilnmar are more problematic to switch up, but I see no reason to worry about them so much, as war and opportunity will pull more nobles to us and we may be able to truly take some of the rogues between....that is, if we are willing to leave Sir Temple and Tallbar to the rogues at that time.

Honoured members of the guild,


Many of you will remember a few months ago when the Tormentor of Shadowdale - Sean Dixon was found to be attacking adventurers at random without cause or warning. When this came to light in the guild, after many in the guild openly said they were planning to end all relationships with Shadowdale while such a man remained. He swore that this was a misunderstanding and that such actions would not happen again unprovoked. As a landed member of the nobility, I took him at his word.

Well here we are a few months later... and Shadowdale is still an unsafe location for adventurers.

Beaten Up!
(Personal message) - 2 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes ago

You are suddenly captured by a group of men and soon brought before Sean Dixon, Tormentor of Shadowdale, Earl of Greatbridge while you are in Krimml. He punches you hard, tossing you onto the ground, kicking your head, jumping up and down your abdomen like a monkey, but you can do nothing except whining and begging for mercy. After some good hours, he has finally gone, and you could feel something is broken about your body even only barely conscious. You are now wounded.

I was attacked, without warning, without a word being spoken, seemingly at random while walking the streets of Krimml. It seems Sean Dixon's word amounts to being worth nothing.

You sent your thugs to attack an unarmed woman in the street.
You have proven that you have no honour.
You have proven your word is nothing but lies.

This guild is designed for nobles to hire adventurers for repairs or buy their items, If some of our members abuse that trust and use the guild to harm and steal from venturers and nobles, our entire reputation is at stake.
This man has stolen destroyed, tortured, killed and beaten his way through the East Continent and even left his own realms in shatters as he moved on to the next.
What Shadowdale does with this man is up to them, but this guild should have taken action yesterday and not wait for more damage to be done tomorrow.

At this moment we have only one elder member of this guild, Lady Delphine, please take action and cleanse this guild of those that seek to harm it.
This guild means very little if we let people like Sean harm its members and its reputation.

Yours,

Fellow Members,


It has been made very clear to all my subjects that I expect adventurers to be left to their business within Shadowdale's borders and my patience now wears rather thin that I am again addressing an issue which I thought resolved.

I have asked Tormentor Sean to provide a full account of his actions and when the matter has been investigated I will judge accordingly. Until then I can only reiterate that wanton abuse of commoners is not a sign of nobility and those who indulge in such brutality cannot expect to earn respect by doing so.

If the charges are proven I will support Benefactor Marchusson's call for the expulsion of Lord Sean from these halls.

Newcomer Daizen, are you one of those men who judges without first hearing evidence from both sides of a dispute?


Mistress Kryss has provided me with detailed testimony and I have requested that Lord Sean do likewise. When I've studied both I will be able to judge whether there has been wrongdoing. If there is a suitable punishment will be imposed, which in the case of abuse of a commoner is likely to be a compensation payment as this is the custom of Shadowdale.

Quite where the deflection is in this I am uncertain. Perhaps you mean that legal processes in general are a deflection?

Back to our discussions. The Astrum special - army of mixed infantry, archers and special forces could certainly be devastating, but we need an answer for cavalry troops. As Sir Eisenritter stated, Eponllyn has chosen to field elite deadly cavalry and has yet to be matched on the battlefield.

In a defensive situation, using the Astrum special all units could dig in with mixed infantry in back with archers and special forces in rearguard. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the enemies archers as they will shoot the entire battle at their max range. This allows two charges of enemy cavalry in position middle before they hit our lines and puts the cavalry alone at point blank range. The question would be if we can withstand the last cavalry charge from those cavalry they put in back.

We could have 4 heavy cavalry units in rearguard. They would meet the enemy's infantry and first cavalry charge, who is weakened by missile fire, in our front and could stop the charge.

However, after we did that our enemy would put all their troops in front and overwhelm us.

Marshal Steele,


You can only dig in as a defender and you need to either own the region or run a TO.

It is a good idea to have your own cavalry units to counter but if enemies land their charges first, you will suffer the same.

You could choose to hire enough MIs to soak up the damage. If half of your nobles field MIs, you can probably deploy them in 2 rows to soak up the initial charge.

Marshal Steele,


I don't quite understand what you mean but cavalry will continue to move forward until they hit something. If both attackers and defenders move to the same row at the same time, it will be up to whoever moved to the row first. Unfortunately, units don't move all at the same time. Some units move ahead of others even in the same round. From the battles between Perleone and Alara, Perleone's cavalry untis always moved before Alara's for some reason which resulted in Perleone missing their charges all the time.

That is exactly what I'm referring to. Long has it been since I have seen many cavalry units in a large action.

Not sure of this RC thing. Seems to me that this is the situation:


Cons:
1. we have no range 5 SF RCs
2. we have just one RC of decent but not spectacular range 3 MI
3. we have just one badly damaged excellent cavalry RC in Parm. Might not be easy to expand until Parm recovers.
4. We have no buy in from and city Lords at this point on either destroying existing RCs or building new cavalry or MI RCs.

Pros:
1. We do have Oroya city as a blank slate.
2. I'm willing to destroy two good infantry RCs in my stronghold of Sir Temple and try for MI , Cav & range 5 RCs.
3. We can probably afford to destroy 3 good RCs in Trinbar in order to improve our odds, but I insist we keep an archer and an infantry RC in Trinbar.

I am somewhat skeptical about the risks involved, we'll be destroying at least 5 good RCs in the hope of creating a different force balance with no guarantees we will be better off. I don't think you'll get the city Lords to agree. Dukr Zadek is here, he's the Lord of Sirion city. What does he think.

We cannot go to war with only good archers and good infantry. We'll be defeated by a cavalry charge and/or our archers will be outranged. The battle report shows that Eponllyn, Caligus and Perdan are able to bring both ranged special forces with range 5 and cavalry.


We can put replacements for those RCs torn down in regions adjacent to the cities.

We have to tell the city Lords that we cannot defend their cities unless they complete these tasks.

High Commander,


If you can't convince the lords on doing what is right for the realm, you will be stuck with an outdated army which won't be able to compete with your most powerful neighbour.

I pray that Sirion's diplomats are better than its soldiers. That would be the only way to outcompete your potential enemies.

If you are just planning on destroying 5 RCs, I'd recommend just keeping them. It is quite clear that Sirion is not ready to fix its RC problems. The RC project can't be done with people only committing what they are willing to lose. It requires the cooperation from the entire realm. If you can't achieve that there is no point on trying.

It is quite unfortunate to see how short sighted Sirionites have become. Maybe the departure of the elves did more damage to the realm than I initially thought.

High Commander of Sirion
Duke of Anarionath
Governor of Sir Temple


Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (8 recipients)

High Commander,


It is up to you and Sirionites how extensive you want it to be. Sirion's problem is quite clear. Your realm lacks any vision when it comes down to what kind of army you want. I don't know why Sirion's military is still living in the past. Looks like Sirionites have been sleeping in their ancient forest. Unfortunatley for Sirion, the rest of the continent tries to outdo each other. Your neighbour Eponllyn is powerful because they were willing to risk more than you are willing to. Sirion still has RCs from its ancient times meaning Sirion's generals either never caught up with the changes or they never bothered to. In the past, Sirion could afford to get away with this by having more allies. It doesn't matter how effective one realm's army is when its enemies can bring three times as many troops. Those days are long gone. At most you can do is bring your one ally but Sirion does not even have that.

It is quite confusing to me why Sirion wants to remain so inefficient. Sirion no longer has walls once it protected its lands from the foreigners. Sirion's last war against Shadowdale went quite poorly despite Shadowdale's RCs not being that impressive either. But Shadowdale's RC types are still more diverse than that of Sirion. Sirion is mainly infantry and melee SFs. Most of its RCs are in Trinbar for some reason. It has RCs in places where it shouldn't be while having too focused on melee units. Is Sirion benchmarking Perdan? Perdan is known for its infantry units and it is one of the reasons why it struggles so much against Eponllyn. Perdan can't even fight Eponllyn without the walls of Bescanon and Altar of Flames. Unless you are hoping to stay in the north-east corner of the continent permanently, you will have to find a way to deal with Eponllyn. It is not my job to do that. It is yours. I am merely here to assist you in doing so but if the best you can do is giving me reasons why you can't do it, then I am not interested in helping a realm that refuses to help itself.

I would recommend destroying any RC which has any of its stat above 75. Of course the best solution is for Sirion to double in size overnight but the likelihood of that happening is less than the chance of elves coming back from whichever land they sailed to.

I will simplify what you need to do here.
1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.

2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.

3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.

4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.

I don't know why you are insisting on keeping RCs in Trinbar. I don't know which idiot built so many RCs there but he/she should be treated as a traitorous scum for wasting so much gold in a region which hardly benefits Sirion strategically. If you think RCs in Trinbar is going to protect Sirion City, then you should focus on actually having RCs in Sirion City first. Regions touching Trinbar are all poor except Sirion City and having RCs in Trinbar has no strategic value. You want RCs in non-city regions only when you need the region to supply militia units to regions connected to it. Trinbar is only connected to Tabost, Sermbar and Sirion. Both Tabost and Sermbar are poor and if Sirion is under attack, RCs in Trinbar won't do much. Not to mention having so many RCs decent quality RCs in Trinbar lowers your chance of getting those RCs in other regions. Average RCs are around 50 and below. Those don't affect your RC quality too much. You can keep those unless they are in your cities. If they are in your cities, they should be demolished for wasting a valuable space. Also, having more RCs in one region lowers your chance of getting good RCs in that region. So your best chance of getting a good RC will be when you have nothing.

Anyway, I have already said all I needed to say. At the end of the day, it is your call. If you don't mind commanding an infantry heavy army against Eponllyn, keep the RCs you have.

(ooc: nobody exactly knows how it works. It is not something that gets shared. But we all know more you have, less chance you get - more RCs which is considered good that is. It is also based on how the number of nobles you have. More nobles = more chances to get better RCs + more you can actually have. Also, Sirion's RCs are crap to begin with. No point on keeping most of them.)

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (8 recipients)

No. You won't get into the IR issue unless you tell them what to recruit. Also, you are fine telling people what to get as long as they are asking you what they should recruit when they can't decide.


Limiting their choices is a different matter entirely. Because it comes at a cost. If you only keep 1 cavalry around, you will see less people grabbing cavalry units. But it also kills diversity. But the game balance does not change often enough to promote diversity. It changes slowly enough to focus on the most favourable type and be dominant for years until it changes again. The game's balance only majorly changed once from Melee to Ranged.

As for keeping 4 good RCs, know that in return, you won't get good quality RCs for other types. So you will have to settle for less higher quality RCs of other types. High quality Infantry RCs are the easiest RCs to get. The hardest is Cavalry followed by MI and archer(Many archer RCs are good but extremely good ones are rather rare). High quality R5s are not as rare as some people believe them to be.

Sir Willarc,


My fellow realmmates unfortunately are too focused on enjoying their wines and stories.

They haven't gone to war in awhile and have forgotten about what it means to be a true noble. But it is something they will remember once they meet an aggressive neighbour. They will be forced to remember I am sure when it does happen.

As for Sirion, I truly hope that the realm manages to pull the project off. It is often quite difficult to get nobles to cooperate and I've only heard and seen it thrice in history of this world. Astrum, Eponllyn and Luria Nova. All those realms somehow pulled it off but they also struggled with their nobles to get it done.

People tend to not like seeing RCs gone but I hope they remember you can always aim for something better. That is how you best use your peace time. To improve on your infrastructure for the next war.

Once you build the RCs, you will have to experiment with them to figure out the best line settings. But remember line settings will need to be changed often after each battle to counter your enemies. Also, at the end of the day, winning battles alone won't win you wars. You have all witnessed that in the Perdan-Eponllyn war. Eponllyn's army was stronger but Perdan played their cards right and halted Eponllyn's advance. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to separate long term goals and short term goals. Do not randomly attack a region for no reason. When you are doing something, you should have a purpose.

Ultimately, the quickest way to win a war is to crush your enemy's will to fight. Astrum despite having all the greatest RCs in the world in one place fell because the realm was inhabited by weak minded nobles. Even the thickest armor can't protect you from an idiot who wants to die. As long as you have the will to fight, RCs won't be your biggest problem.

Nobles of Sirion,


REPORT ON RCs OF SIRION - PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENT

We have had extensive discussions with the Caligus expert on RCs Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach. Here is my report:

1. He says our RCs are archaic and out of date. If we keep to these RCs we will be beaten on the battlefield by realms with more modern RCs. He identifies three weaknesses:
Too much high quality infantry. It was good in ancient times but now has been superseded by missile and cavalry troops.
Too many high quality non ranged SF. These RCs are practicality useless.
Too many high quality RCs in Trinbar. This is a weakness since they can only get to size 3 whereas cities and strongholds can get to size 4.

2. He says that the only way we can change and improve our RCs is to destroy a lot (Most) of our best RCs and concentrate on producing more of the ones we want in our cities. We would need to do this because the cost and chance of producing good RCs is improved by getting rid of existing ones. The new ones need to be rebuilt just in our cities and then expanded to size 4. The new ones we are looking for are:

  • High quality range 3 MI
  • High quality Cavalry
  • High quality Range5 SF

Of these the MI are the most important since we seem to be low on cash overall and these units are cost effective and also pretty good against rogue. And by high quality I mean we're looking for 70 and higher in all stats.

3. This project will be impossible without cooperation of all region Lords and especially of the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple because a LOT of good RCs will have to be sacrificed to achieve this goal and a LOT of gold will have to be spent to build and transform these new RCs into size 4.

So that you understand how big the sacrifice of existing RCs will be. I'll give you an initial list that the expert Eisenritter Felsenbach suggested:

From what I can tell you will have to destroy,

inf 40 80/80 Sir Temple
inf 60 70/80 Sir Temple
inf 75 70/85 Sir Temple
inf 50 50/85 Avamar
inf 50 60/80 Elmbar
inf 65 75/65 Trinbar
inf 90 80/75 Tinbar
inf 80 70/90 Sirion
inf 70 65/75 Hilmar
inf 80 80/100 Parm
inf 95 100/85 Parm

arch Get rid of all R3
arch 45 80/70 Trinbar
arch 65 80/70 Trinbar
arch 90 75/75 Trinbar

SF Get rid of all melee SF(Melee SFs are awful in general. Both cavalry and inf do the same job but better)

MI 75 85/75 Trinbar

Once you get rid of these RCs, you will start seeing better options. If you want to improve your chances even more, you will have to smash more RCs however.



So my question is, what do the leadership of the realm say? are you willing to make these sacrifices to transform our military? In particular the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple who will need to smash a lot of good RCs and build a lot of new RCs. Without the active cooperation of these people the project is impossible. For my part, as Lord of Sir Temple, I am willing to make the sacrifice.

I await the reply of these people and the realm. If I get the go ahead I will produce a definitive list of RCs to be destroyed.

Signed

High Commander,


Just so you realise, once Parm smashes these infantry RCs and disbands the men, you are not going to get any decent RCs from Parm in coming years. Because...

1) The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.

2) Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.

3) If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)

Lord Speaker Ivo,


I was not planning on following the advisors plan exactly. I was planning to keep three high quality infantry RCs , One in Parm, one in Sirion and one in Sir Temple. The advisor wanted to get rid of all our high quality infantry RCs but I think we should keep three.

Sadly that means that one of your infantry RCs will be destroyed by my plan. As well as two of mine and many others around the realm.

Fellows,


It is contradictory to accept the expertise of the advisor being superior than ours and then immediately disregarding his advice on how to be successful. In that case, don't do a RC renovation at all and accept our army will be obliterated on the field if we don't overcome army makeup weakness with hyperactivity or an overwhelming better strategy.

The problem Parm's state presents is real and Lord Speaker Ivo has provided an excellent summary of it.

1) To solve the following problem, we can draft troops over this long project. A soft draft has minimal moral drop, a courtier can raise it as it drops and you can get ~4 cavalry troops per half day this way. The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.

2) To solve the following problem, others can send gold including Lords and knights. Taking Ashforth would increase our gold income. The Lord Speaker excels at diplomacy - certainly the best on the continent. Lets negotiate an alliance with Eponllyn to eliminate a potential threat during this project and secure our takeover of Ashforth. Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.

3) This is a long term project. We build in Parm now and address the other issues so the project is successful. If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)

"This is a military order."


You are not empowered to order anyone about what type of Recruitment Centers they build in their regions, High Commander.

I do not mind your advice and consent, and I support the realm-wide attempt to make some sense of what targets we should have for recruitment centers. But you do not command me, or any other Lord, as to what we can and can not do in our regions. I built a reasonably decent archer center here in Oroya because I felt it was important that I have one available to me in this frontier region. That is my decision, not yours.

Stop inventing authority you do not have for yourself. It does nothing but diminish your actual standing.

Duke Rearden,


As your Marshal I report the following to you. If we cannot cooperate as a Realm on the building of Recruitment Centers in the correct locations then I cannot win wars or defend Oroya with this army. I have now seen the many battle reports of Eponllyn's cavalry in action. Eponllyn will crush our current army and raid Orya with ease. This is because our army will not have the tools required to gain victory. So, the Lords can build what they want and then lose their regions because they did not cooperate with their military leaders. I have close friends across the continent who are members of Realms that have cooperated and undergone this project. I am now envious of a Realm that cooperates at the highest levels.

One wonders if they traded us Oroya for Ashforth, thinking that they would have the administrative power to hold all three regions in the area by placating us until they could focus thier efforts on warring us: or perhaps just to share the load of rebuilding before trying to take our lands. Either way, we are very, very lucky they have lost a significant amount of administrative power recently, or we would be in deep trouble. We must capitalize on this extra time, as they no doubt are working to restore said administrative power as we speak.

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (18 recipients)

I am not at all opposed to cooperating for the betterment of the realm. I am not opposed to the realm creating a plan for reorganizing recruitment centers and building new ones.


What I am opposed to is the assumptive arrogance of the High Commander claiming a power he does not have, and attempting to "order" me, or anyone else, to do things or not do things that he has no authority to do. The High Commander has repeatedly done this, entirely misunderstanding his role as an officer in service to a republican government. He believes it is appropriate to ORDER members of the realm to maintain a certain level of militia in their regions, and he believes is appropriate to ORDER us to build or not build certain recruitment centers.

I resent the posture. I resent the arrogant assumption that he "knows better" than families that have generations of military leaders of great historical note, and lectures us about what we are and are not "allowed" to do, because he is the realm's general and as such anything that involves a soldier or a sword is somehow within his authority to control.

This is a FEUDAL republic. We do not have centralized standing armies -- if we did, such armies would be raised, paid and controlled by the Lord Speaker, and through him the High Commander. But it is the Lords who raise and pay armies. It is we who are responsible for protecting our peasants and the people of our regions. It is we who are responsible with building and maintaining our military infrastructure locally. And it is only through our cooperation and assistance that Sirion has a military with which he can make strategic recommendations. As it happens, he is not even empowered to order me to take specific military actions (though you, as the Marshal of the army ARE empowered to do that), although in the absence of a Marshal making orders, most of us will treat "orders" from a general as worthy of being followed. Still, it is not his role to do even that.

That is my ultimate point, Marshal Steele: the High Commander is constantly assuming upon himself authority he does not have, and "orders" us to do thing he can not order us to do. I'm quite tired of it, and resent the vain assumption of power he does not have. Had he simply requested that Lords refrain from building new recruitment centers, I would have had zero cause to complain. But that isn't what he does. He is so insecure in his own position he feels he must order us.

He can't. I will not be ordered by him in this way.

Now, as to the plan, let me reiterate that I have no issue in the least with the realm-wide plan to create a new philosophy with our infrastructure. Nor do I have a plan with requests made to the Lords to implement the plan, for the betterment of the realm. If asked to do that, I will likely attempt to comply... though I think many of you are grossly overvaluing how much gold many of us have at our fingertips to implement some of this. But still, I have done nothing but serve Sirion since my arrival, and I would do so in this regard as well if called upon.

That said, I don't care what the realm's "plan" is, we will always need quality archery centers in any wartime environment, and I in particular would like one here on the front lines in Oroya. I was presented an opportunity to build a decent (though admittedly unspectacular) archery center here, so I took it. I need no permission to do so, and I make no apologies for making that decision.

So, carry on with the debate, and build whatever plan you wish. But you would all do well to remember your place, and ours, in the actual military structure of this realm. Far too many people fail to understand Republican Feudalism.

Hope no one minds the saltiness... especially you Mo... I'm rather enjoying building out that relationship as full of tension/bitterness. I figure that Gheric really respects and enjoys Vincenzo and considers him a friend, so it is fun to build a different dynamic between our families here.


That said, while Rearden was being an ass, I hope everyone understands that the thrust of what he was saying from a game mechanic perspective is accurate. Technically speaking Generals aren't even supposed to be giving movement orders, and there was a big crack down on that a couple years ago, which actually got our general here in Sirion in trouble. I would actually prefer to have the General be "in charge of everything, militarily" because it would make military stuff much easier to manage and would probably make the game easier / more fun in a lot of ways... but this game was structured like Medieval Europe (i.e. Feudalism) rather than Antiquity (i.e. centralized empires a la Persia/Rome with a standing army commanded by a central authority), so authority is very much diffused here and there are a lot of limits on governmental officers and their power.

For the record, though, Rearden will certainly be a good soldier in regard to the recruitment center plan. I'm just using this as a point of tension for the story / RP side for the fun of that.

Cheers everyone.

Real quick: there is no titan action in relation to RC projects, because the game itself already handles whos got what power mechanically. No one is getting bolted for trying to order Lords to do X thing with RCs.


Titan Communication
In response to,

who's in charge of building RCs rules wise, and can a general get in trouble rules wise for forcing RCs to be tore down and replaced with rcs that follow a set of guildlines?,


a Titan says,

Recruitment centers are managed at a region level. Only region lords can build and tear down recruitment centers. Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs. They can however work with the judge, ruler, or the dukes to institute sanctions for those who do not comply with their authority. Or perhaps their authority is not as broad as they thought... No one rules alone. Completing realm wide projects like recruitment center overhauls requires teamwork, cooperation, and consensus, amd this is very much an intentional design of the game. To be short, there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others. So if you're a general, working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results!


I don't know which think you are thinking of Matt, but it was explained poorly at the time or your memory might be foggy. Some other thoughts being tossed about that may be of interest:

Player A:
Yeah I read that as General can't force them to do it because there is simply no mechanical way to do so

Player B:
the General gotta beg the judge/duke/ruler to see reason and take their side

Player A:
General yeah needs someone on their side
Either convince the Lord... Or convince the judge to back them up

Player B:
Have the lord do it, or find a lord that will

Player A:
Could do Duke as well
"Oh you aren't complying with the general? Well enjoy your 70% tax rate"

Player D:
I don't care what the general says, I will keep my 10/10 10 cav RC

Player E:
Then as your duke or ruler I will abandon your region and place a competent lord in it

It has also been noted in a lot of words I'm not copy/pasting that the Judge can fine people. Most importantly, however, it was noted that the General position is currently a largely political one where you have to grease hands or egos to get your way. There is little direct mechanical power to the General.....but there are also no rules stopping them from trying anyways (for this situation).

Mat,


I am confused by the historical details and game mechanic perspective you are relaying. As per our Judge bulletin (emphasis mine):

  • The chain of command for everyone begins at the Marshal level, then to the General, and finally the Council. The only orders you should receive in the chain of command is from a Marshal. You may also receive orders through the realm hierarchy separate from military orders. The only exception to this is if an order needs to be countermanded immediately due to new information or battlefield changes, then someone higher than a Marshal may override a previously given order in the interests of tactical necessity.


On the historical matter. Medieval Europe copied itself after Rome. Medieval Europe generals were normally also the King or given absolute authority from the King. In a Republic, generals were given absolute control over military matters because the patrician classes, rich merchants and the old nobility that formed the assembly weren't military experts. That being said, I'm not an expert and certainly don't know everything. I'm a huge fan of medieval Europe, Ancient Rome, Archaeology was part of my major as an American Anthropologist major, I do medieval reenactment and have ready many books.

Keely --


I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."

Titan then goes on to suggest ways that pressure could be levied on a region lord if there was something they wanted them to do, including sanctions, fines, etc. And that's all fine, I don't disagree with any of that. What Rearden was saying (and what I'm saying OOC) is that there is no *authority* in the hands of a general to *order* anyone to do that kind of thing.

This is one of the most accurate aspects of the game, historically speaking, to be honest. Kings in Medieval Europe did not maintain standing armies and relied upon their Counts/Lords to raise armies, that they would then contribute to the realm when some kind of war broke out between nations. History, though, is replete with examples of Lords refusing to comply, or picking and choosing what to comply with... or feigning compliance while not really marching their army where they are supposed to, etc. Point being, there was no "central government" to which the realm operated as some kind of modern centralized state. Standing armies were not really a thing (with some exceptions) and it was much more akin to a loose confederation of nobles who owed various layers of feudal loyalty to one another, typically flowing eventually to a King. But whether you're talking about Medieval England or the mess that was the Holy Roman Empire, in each of these instances the "power" and "authority" of an individual King was typically an aspect of personal command, built around leverage, relationships, etc... and not some kind of "legal power" or ingrained authority that they supposedly had.

A good example of this would be King Edward I versus his son, Edward II or King John of the Magna Carta period. What was the structural difference between the authority commanded by Edward the I, compared to the two weaker Kings? Fundamentally nothing, really. But the other two were not able to assemble the personal loyalty that Longshanks could, and as such the various Lords (Barons) held far more power, and used it against the King.

Here in what you quoted Keely, that is exactly what that Titan is talking about when they say "there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others," that is what they are talking about. That why "working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results," and they're right about that. But there is no mechanical "power" a general has to "order" anything like this. I see nothing in that statement that contradicts that. In fact, your "Player A, Player B" quote basically explains exactly what I'm talking about. They need to CONVINCE the Lord, or perhaps lean on the OTHER power relationships that exist to force LEVERAGE on them enough that they will comply.

I guess what I'm chiding against here is the idea that realms in this game are late-Republic or early-Empire Rome, with a "General in Charge" of a standing army that is centrally recruited and trained, and political leaders (Governors, in their cast) that are appointed magistrates of their regions and have to do what they're told as though they are employees. That is how WE conceive of modern government in our generally first-world, modern, western states... but it isn't how Feudal Europe worked.

Duke Rearden,


I understand your perspective. I was asked by another to issue the same order, but did not for the reasons you describe. I am also concerned with the required gold investment for this project. I do not take it lightly. I agree more thought and discussion needs to occur so agreement is Realm wide before action is taken. However, continued building of recruitment centers only makes any project more expensive. Therefore, a pause on building more recruitment centers is most wise.

It is possible we would plan for there to be RCs in Salta and Dale which would provide archer militia to Oroya. If we spread RCs around, but build rare RCs in cities then we ensure no region is critical to our troop recruitment and reduces the cost of new RCs across the Realm. Furthermore, that strategy allows us to enlarge the rare RCs to the biggest possible size.

Jon --


I hate to contradict you here, but I have a degree in history with a focus on European history, and that just isn't correct. I'm not saying I'm the world's leading expert on this stuff... but Medieval Europe was not at all copied from Rome. At least not in the ways you are suggesting. In fact, that's one of the main things that distinguishes the Medieval period from antiquity: the massive break with ancient civilizations when it came to how societies functioned, armies worked, etc.

Let's start with where the armies came from. In Rome, and other major Empires of Antiquity, that was raised by the Republic (later Empire) by the Senate, and paid through the Roman treasury, though I suppose admittedly "in the field" those payments typically did come from the plunder the army acquired and was administered by the commanding General. But the point was, the army's creation was a vehicle of a centralized state, and Legions were permanent, professional armies that rotated commanders. Those commanders (Generals) were appointed by the Senate (typically members of the Senate) and given Imperium over their individual armies for a period of time. The army was a reflection of the decisions of the Senate, the Consuls, and later the Princeps (what we today call Roman Emperors).

In Medieval Europe, with very few exceptions there were not standing armies. Knights were maintained by landed nobility (Lords, referred to as Barons, Counts, and a bunch of other titles depending on location). Those Knights were essentially "hired" by the Lords to provide protection for the Lord and the peasants of their region, often times against other rival lords from nearby, technically in the same "realm," which was itself a loose concept in the middle ages. Read about the heartburn inducing life of many of the Holy Roman Emperors, who had lofty titles and everything, but very little power to organize their realm to do much of anything militarily, save obvious emergencies and the occasional figure who had a cult of personality. Just look at this map of what was the HRE in the 1300s: https://i.redd.it/pfasf0ozhu231.png

It is a mess. And all of those regions on the map represent families and Lords in control of their own little slice of the empire, all with competing (oftentimes overlapping) loyalties to various noble figures. There was no "central government" of the HRE, and it was little better in places like France or medieval England either, though admittedly in some instances certain figures were able to assemble a de facto centralized government due to their own personal prestige and domination.

In short, the troops were raised, organized, paid and ordered around by the local lords, for the most part. Those Lords would be called upon by their Kings and rulers to participate in a war, or a battle, and those Lords would usually honor their oaths of fealty to help... though when you actually study Medieval warfare you find that the degree to which they helped (and didn't) was pretty malleable to the situation, with many Kings frustrated at the virtual non-compliance of most of their Lords. Once they were gathered together, yes, you are correct, Kings often acted as generals themselves and they were obligated to follow commands in the field. That's true. But then again, their Lords could also (and often did) decide to withdraw participation and march their troops home, and there wouldn't necessarily be anything the King could do about it.

In any event, the real point here is that the only line of authority whereby "orders," if you want to call them that, are able to be given and are duty bound to be obeyed, is the direct line of the Feudal relationship or oath. Outside of that, obedience to the wishes of a figure here or there was a factor of personal magnetism, leverage, etc, and not of legal "authority."

In the context of this game we are playing here, it has always been explained to me over the years that Generals, Judges, Bankers, etc, have certain mechanical "powers" afforded to them by their position, but that the society they are in is Feudal and there are not direct "order" style commands that they can give that nobles are obligated to obey. They can use the mechanical powers they have to pressure Lords into compliance, but saying "I order you to..." to a Feudal Lord carries no actual official weight whatsoever, given the structure of these societies.

That's all I've been trying to say here.

I want to make it clear I'm not opposed to radically overhauling our RCs, nor tearing down some of the ones in Parm if it is vital (though I'd suggest removing some lesser ones first rather than all at once).


I'm merely stating the difficulties we face as long as Parm is not rebuilt.

Senator Solomon, when it comes to drafting I am not worried about morale drop. What I'm worried about is that in a city where we are lucky if anything to get 20-30 new arrivals a week, taking a bunch of them away to be soldiers is a bit going the opposite direction.

I don't know much about the military side of things but I have two 'questions thoughts on the subject. First isn't it against the rules to make someone take down or build a certain type of a RC, like you cannot force a noble to recruit a certain type of men. Like ordering someone to recruit archers instead of infantry.


Also I am not sure when the centers were built but if they are quite old at one point in the game it was easy to get good RCs but now it is much harder. Also why would we want to tear down awesome RCs when we may never be able to get as good as a RC again. as we have now.

Great questions. I asked both of these questions as well.

We will not tell people to recruit a specific type of troop nor slightly or indirectly punish someone around their troop choice. We will curate the RCs, so the best options are the ones they want to pick. We will ask people to consider changing their troop types. Ashforth would be a great opportunity for troop leaders to drop their troops as militia and recruit a new troop type. For example, on Dwlight my Realm doesn't build cavalry RCs - but we also don't tell people they can't recruit cavalry.

We had a lengthy discussion in Sirion City about this. What other Realms has found is that good RCs are much harder now, because we have many RCs. When you have few RCs, then your RC options drastically improve. This is why you tear down common/cheap/poor RCs, build rare RCs and then build the common/cheap/poor RCs. At least two other Realms have gone through this process. It is a very expensive process.

I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."


They mean mechanically though, not in any rules sense, to be clear.

While we aren't able see what you're referring to that would be sent, we can say that Generals are free to order that certain recruitment centers be built or demolished. Lords are free to ignore or reject the order. Judges, Dukes and Rulers are free to issue sanctions to enforce compliance with the General's orders. They are also free to side with the lords and refuse to back the General. These are all decisions that can be made in character.

Because the issued sanctions would be a) in character actions within the context of the fiction and b) not something the General actually has any direct control over. Their authority in this situation is entirely based around the legitimacy and respect the character has gained with their peers or certain subsections of their peers.

Since this is all in character discussion (or at least it is best if it is), there is no rule preventing any of these actions or their consequences from unfolding.

Maybe I should finsih reading before hitting send on things, as it appears that what I'm on about has actuallly been addressed twice since then. Apoligies.


As for how much power the General or really any of the government positions has, it's generally handled IC within the quote 'politics' part of the game, rather then agreed on ooc.

I agree that RC recreation and upgrade should be managed.


I have a small concern regarding elimination of lesser centers. It involves the recruitment and staffing of militia. If we eliminate a majority of the lesser centers, will it limit our ability to stock and staff militia to help protect the regions from rouge attacks? Super centers, to label high value resources, might be prohibitive cost wise for rural regions. Perhaps the Cities focus on the super centers and others make up the difference, allowing for militia placement and stocking. Super centers, such as the infantry in Parm, might be held until such time as others are available. At that time, if no longer needed they could be replaced.

A slow role would seem to be most helpful as we will not likely be successful in massive change due to time, cost and potential threats that may arise during our transition.

These are some of the items that I have been pondering since the discussions have been occurring. I will say I am grateful Duke Rearden now has archers to help build our militia. Salta will likely hire some in the near future to help with rouge incursions.

For the Dragon,

Report from Dominic Rea

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (18 recipients)

It is my understanding that it is most effective to relive all of them of there duties at once, as this means that the chances of better centers are significantly higher for a time, rather then wasting a lot of gold on trying for centers at a lower chance. Say if we were to make ten centers, the chance each day might be something along the lines of

Number of centers currently built Chance of getting a "good" center
1 90%
2 80%
3 70%
4 60%
5 50%
6 40%
7 30%
8 20%
9 10%



If we were to say, keep 4 centers at all times, each day we would only have a 60% chance of getting a good center: whereas if we smash every center that's not already in our "good" guidelines, we would get 90%, then 80%, then 70%........

There would be a perfect number, in theory, that we could mathematically do this "slowly" but since the guildmasters are so private and fickle, we can never know the actual percent chance each day per center to get a good one, and it is best to just go the full distance right away to be sure we are at least getting our gold's worth.

As for militia, as a realm we could spread out with our units and work as we have been to be sure the rogue threat stays minimal during this time. It will take all of us.

It was an interesting trip. I am glad I could help Sirion's RC project. Hopefully it will go according to the plan but I doubt it will. So further compromises will most likely be in order. I am sure it is nothing Sirionites can't handle.

If you need help again, you know how to contact me. I doubt Caligus is in need of my service anytime soon. Until we meet again.

The tax income from Parm after all this time still blows my mind.
I believe someone said a few months ago that the issue of too slow growth was being addressed by Devs?
Are there the birth increase scrolls on this continent?
Would you guys be interested in me asking for the increase rations option on this continent? It is expensive, but can increase growth ~10%.

The Devs have looked into it, but from what I understand, it's not terribly high priority.


The tax income is also low because it's set at the minimum. We could get more if Ivo raises it, but then the peasants trickling in will also disappear overnight which means the population cannot recover.

I'm not entirely clear on if a city we can do this in phases. Tear down RCs in a city and adjacent regions, build RCs in that city and then move on to the next city. Slimbar could be a place to determine if that is the case. I don't believe we have enough gold at this time to do it all at once.

I had very low population as well in Avamar. I was able with help get population up like it should be. This is what I did. Declared a few holidays. Build something like a repair shop, or a place where scouts can be trained. Those types of things. Each region has different economy things you can build some may be able to be build while others can't.

You see if the peasants are happy and have a place to work they may move into the region. That helped me. It may not help you but you never know. What do you have to lose.

If you need help with gold to do some of this then contact me I possibly may be able to help.




As for the RC discussion I had forgotten about militia. Militia needs to be troops that are cheep. Even if someone gets men and then drops them as militia the Lord would still have to pay those men every week. And that would be the pay they would get if they stayed in town to guard the town or if they were out doing battle on the battlefield. I know it has been stated that we just can continue to battle the undead when they come up but what happens when we are at war? We won't have men to go around cutting down undead.


If we had a good amount of nobles then we could have had two different armies one to help within the realm and another to fight when we are attacked by another realm.

High Arbiter Lerriana,


Thank you for the advice. I had not heard of a shop improving population growth. As a Lord, I cannot declare holidays or hold festivals. Since I am proposing we spend our gold on RCs, I will rely on my family to fund gold for building.

Your concern about militia and troops is why I am investigating whether or not the RC reconstruction can be done in phases. One city and its surrounding regions at one time. As for war, we appear to be far removed from the possibility of war. Based on the battle reports we have, without cavalry or a cohesive army strategy we cannot defend a region without fortifications. However, with our noble count, gold, wealth and recent history - I believe only Eponllyn represents a significant threat to Sirion.

Molly ordered her troop to move to Ashforth to see how the region was fairing. Upon arrival it was clear the region was in dire shape. Starvation was rampant. The locals barely reacted to her presence. A few came to her camp pleading for scraps. She was amazed that any had survived the Winter. Captain Didelia was ordered to share what supplies as could be spared, in an orderly fashion. Fortunately the locals were in such poor shape they meagerly accepted the aid and did not over run the Blade. Some pleaded for Sirion to resume rule, hoping this would end their suffering.


Upon review, Molly made notes to be sent to the Realm Council of her visit and the potential of taking the City..

You are about to take control of an enemy region. This will take a while to complete, quite possibly several days. Every unit of your realm present in the region will have options to support the takeover during that time. The only thing you are doing here is initiating the process.

Our realm is running low on the number of nobility for the amount of regions it owns. If you keep conquering more regions without gaining more nobility, you will soon be unable to add more regions to your realm without a ruler or duke abandoning some first.

I've done a lot of hard work based on the advisors advice.


Here is my proposal of RCs to keep and destroy, based on the following criteria:

  1. Destroy all Non Ranged SF RCs
  2. Destroy all MI RCs with range less than 3
  3. Destroy all Arch & SF RCs with range less than 4
  4. Destroy all good RCs (Good means any stat above 75) except those in cities.
  5. Destroy the two good INF RCs in Oroya and Avamar (Good means any stat above 75) just to reduce the total number of good INF RCs and because these two are not that large or good compared to the three large ones we are going to keep.

High Commander Lorenzo,


I believe you are trying to move too fast or your timeline is not apparent to me. If we cannot replace the RCs with the new RCs due to a lack of gold, then there is no need to tear down the RCs. We may be able to do this in a phased approach - when means one city and adjacent regions at a time tear down and rebuild.

I do not know if an actual strategy of what RCs will be built after the teardown has been chosen. If we leave high quality infantry RCs up, then we will continue to have an army composition with no focus and therefore fail in the ultimate goal of this RC renovation.

I have been slow to generate a draft of a plan, but I believe a fully fleshed out plan will be required to gain the agreement of the Lords.

If we leave high quality infantry RCs up, then we will continue to have an army composition with no focus and therefore fail in the ultimate goal of this RC renovation.


I want to voice my sound agreement with this: Good Eisenritter said thus, if you recall:

I will simplify what you need to do here.
1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.

2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.

3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.

4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.


Which you'll notice also means that "We may be able to do this in a phased approach" is also pretty much out the door. We have no defense now against our neighbors, it's hardly relevant if we are in the middle of this and they declare on us. Rogue is a larger concern: however, since we are focusing on MI's first, it will be a very short time before we are protected from rogue fully once again. I would recommend finding out just how much gold people have to spare, and also ordering a refit of the army: these are the things that will choose our next course of action - our gold stores, and how many nobles are actively monitoring orders.

I will do what I can to help with rebuilding. I am glad we are finally taking on this task which I suggested to some effect back as my time as Lord Commander. Which was shot down for reasons that were weak in claim, and now being contradicted.


To the note of us taking on this task; I believe it would be wise to put in effect ways to ensure we do not be targeted by others during this time.

Either a strong alliance, some agreement of all realms, or declaring a war against a weak realm far away that it would be against titan judgement to declare another war against us due to "dog piling"

Lord Solomon,


I'm not gong too fast, I'm asking anyone to tear anything down at this point at all. I'm just trying to see who agrees and who disagrees, that's all. If anyone disagrees out of those 10 region Lords then we may as well give up now. Only if we get total agreement can this work.

Regarding your other points:

1. We will get the gold if everyone pitches in. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

2. Phased approach is impossible. In order to maximise our chances we have to tear down maximum number of good RCs.

3. We are leaving very few High quality RCs up. Exactly 5. We can't cut it back any further.

4. The rebuild policy in my opinion should be:

- Build initially just in Sirion city, Avamar city and Sir Temple. Those 3 regions are our only fully recovered regions that can host level 4 RCs.

- Concentrate on high quality Range 3 MI and also high quality Cavalry (By high quality I mean minimum stats of 75/75/75) .

-  After that go for high quality range 4 Archers and high quality ranged 4/5 SF

-  Don't build any infantry however good.

Callout for the good responses from Brock Ketchum, Naismith Willarc and Lerriana Leather to welcome this new guy. Even though this one didn't stay, the realm did several things that have been identified as ways to keep new players: having an active newsfeed, getting new player-content messages within 20 minutes, other players trying to include the new player right away in the "story", and similar. While there is plenty of work to be done in theorizing exactly what keeps a player, these things, as well as diversified content have been pointed out as good things to start with. Good show, keep that up and we might get this realm even growing again :D

Sir Dominic,


Fine, if you think we can't afford cav then we can add that to the debate. I think thats not strictly true, I have an expensive SF unit but I could afford cav. I just dont do it because I mostly fight rogue and I dont like wasting gold on cav that will die in rogue battles. Personalty I think we should have a couple of decent cav RCs for those that want it but if Senator Solomon and others also say cav is too expensive then we can concentrate on MI and archers instead.

And these high quality cav RCs you talk about in the southeast can only be obtained by soundly beating and taking enemy cities. There is no chance we can do that. My purpose is to put Sirion on a war footing so that we can defend ourselves, not to come up with a fantasy scheme based on taking enemy cities.

Duchess Lerriana,


The RC revamp has not begun it is still in discussion, and I believe will remain that way till all parties agree to the changes to some degree.
There are documents that have been shown, and I'm sure can be brought back of the list of RC in all Sirion showing the qualities.


Sirion,

My opinion on the militia is that in the time it takes us to bring back our RCs we should have no issues defending our own regions.
I would suggest most lords in their desire to defend their regions when the revamp takes place is switching our units to very cheap archers or MI from a region that is not a city so we will be able to leave said RC available for refits during the time.
This would also save the Lords gold in the mean time not paying for militia and also holding a cheaper unit.

As far as the RC in my region of Limbar I see no reason to maintain it the quality I am sure is pitiful, and I would prefer to save the cost of maintenance until a decision is made on the revamp so I will be able to help fund those in need a little better.

Let Us Unite,

I've only ever been able to find a few reviews ever about BM, thankfully. Most are positive, with the rant on the bay whatever forums and the the gibberish on the PBBG site the only two bad ones I have seen. Hell, I had to use "battlemaster -dnd -battletech -wow -starwars -transformers -hearthstone -sega -rifle -runescape -graven -swtor -vang" just to get down to BM results just now and the bay whatever forum didnt even show up anymore, just https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/battlemaster-medieval-online-rpg.868988/ and https://pbbg.com/games/battlemaster :D

As for game of drones, that's always been a far too large part of BM, and that's something that's always on the Design team's mind...if you have any ideas to lift some of that off of the game, the forums, discord, or honestly just letting me know (I'll take it to the discussion) and you might see your ideas make it into reality - this group(both here and those of us on discord) has already brought forward ideas for a few bug fixes, volunteer pages, and a nice RCs page for the general that all already exist and will be live in the next update, as well as DevBlog, Battlefields, and I'm sure a bunch of stuff that's on my list and not credited that's already approved for future updates.

Letter from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Sir Dominic,


I think that Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach would be a good Lord for Dale. It is a central region and If he can put 3 good RCs in that region then they will supply militia for Dale, Salta , Obando and Tabost. I will supply him with 800 gold which should be enough to put 3 level 1 RCs in Dale. If they are of reasonable quality We can expand them.

Dale also needs a granary and a scouts guild, we can help him with gold for that too.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi
High Commander of Sirion
Senator of Trinbar

I was under the impression he would be visiting our lands as an advisor, not that he would be joining our realm...although if you are able to convince him otherwise, we could use the help. I doubt that you'll be able sway him to our banner unless you can offer him an estate that is several hundred gold a week to replace the one he has in Fontan.

Report from Nemean JeVondair Renodin

Message sent to everyone in Adventurer's Guild (42 recipients)

Members of the Guild,


This letter is about history. It speaks of the days that inspire the present. It is an offer and a chance.

In some three days time I will receive family in Domus. A small city that sits in the middle of our continent. There will be those among you that recall the days of the Imperium. The heights of Highmarch. The Path of Ashes. The merging of the Horselords and the Redwing. The days that saw the blue turn to gold. An arm is reached to Perdan where yet again more are found that hail from a long legacy that finds terminus in blood. Quickening veins and stirring memory. Not blood shed idly but blood that gave life. Family.

Remember the days of Greater Xavax, the Era that saw great Migrations, where legend was made flesh and walked among us. You will know that they do still. To those that hold this dear and remember, know that you are welcome at my hearth. It is a select gathering but we will know our own. Make up your mind for there is time needed for traveling. This is nothing more than a gathering to once more look upon one another. To break bread and share wine as we once did. Our people. Of the olden days and those that came after but never had a chance to witness the time of their parents or simply those of which they descend. It is not lost. Only hope is forgotten at times. But you can gain it again.

Sans import other than legacy, you will know welcome. The Castellan will permit you entry into my castles and I will welcome you in the gathering.

Wings unfurled,

Nemean JeVondair Renodin
Patriarch of Caligus
Royal of Caligus

Request from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Lords Leofric, Brock and Lerriana,


There is now a chance to tidy up our duchies by you three region Lords transferring allegiance.

I would like to see Glinmar & Hillmar transfer to my duchy of Anarionath, and see Avamar transfer from Anarionath to the duchy of Sirion. I would actually lose income on this since Avamar is richer than the other two regions combined, but I support such a move because it's geographically neater.

I hope that the Lords of these three regions agree and are willing to transfer. I hope that Speaker Ivo also supports this change.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi

Report from Lerriana Leather

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

It seems Avamar is going to stay where she is.



As the lord of Avamar, you can change the allegiance of your region to a different duchy. At this time, Avamar is a part of the duchy of Anarionath.

You can switch to other duchies in the following situations:

  1. When at least one region of that duchy is a bordering neighbour of your region.
  2. When you are in a region of that duchy. This means you can switch to any duchy you desire simply by travelling there and pledging your allegiance.
  3. By meeting a duke in person, by both of you being in the same region.
  4. By a duke visiting your region, by travelling to your region.
  5. By meeting a duke at a tournament you attend.

If the duchy you switch your region to belongs to a different realm, you and all your knights will automatically join that realm. Your knights will not follow you to the new realm if they are already banished from that realm.

Duchies you can Join

There are currently no duchies available for selection.

Sir Dominic,


Your statement does not match reality. If that was true then no reorganization in any realm would be possible, but we see that many realms have sensibly structured contiguous regions in their duchies that were obviously planned. Reorganization goes on all the time in many realms. Nothing strange about it, its absolutely normal.

Says the man that called for the very idea. Perhaps save the insults for later, after you've countered my point? I could care less about other realms, as Sirion has been historically the pride of the island, and as such, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard then others, rather then just "reaching the same level." Oaths are not sets of clothes to be shucked off and replaced at any whim. While there is a great many reasons for a Lord to swear fealty to a new Duke, "because it make the map look nicer" is a rather poor reason. It's not as if there is any monetary or control reasons to do so: the peasants and merchants care less if the region they work is contiguous with the rest of it's Duchy.


Perhaps you should try to personally message the lords you wish to swap to you, and convince them that you are a better Duke then the one they have. I hear lower tax rates and more engaged Dukes tend to get larger duchies....

Sir Dominic,


The only person who issued an insult was you. I just explained how you were wrong. Clearly, plainly, demonstrably wrong. Its not an insult to be proven wrong. But you said of me "Says the man that called for the very idea" which is an insult implying I'm insincere and only speaking for defending my idea.

Now I'm going to resist the impulse to insult you back and let it rest.

Sirion,


Lord Leofric and Lord Brock have Sworn allegiance to Anarionath. With that, the Duchy is now complete. All our rearward areas are gathered into a single duchy.

Glinmar - Lord Leofric Kubo
Hillmar - Lord Brock Ketchum
Sir Temple - Duke Lorenzo Falconi
Tallbar - Lord Tyr Erickson

Anarionath is a duchy of some importance to our history. Sir Temple, its seat, is the birthplace of Elvendom on this continent. Sir Temple was the first capital of Sirion and the site of the First Temple of the Elves. It is the most Holy place to our culture.

If at some point in the future we can take the region of Rollbar, which has a decent gold income, then all regions in the duchy will be linked. Not likely in the near future, but we can wish.

Respects

Sir Dominic,


How can you prioritize the Nivemus capital (wherever that is) over the heartland of Sirion? You seem more concerned with resurrecting Nivemus than with the traditional strength of Sirion which is its heartland.

Abandon this dangerous idea. I am the Duke of Anarionath and have sworn oaths to protect it. I will not allow it to be abandoned.

If you want to take a particular region then there are at least two poor regions we can abandon, Dale and Obando. Every single region in Anarionath is much better than those two regions. If you have a problem with that assessment then you don't care about facts.

Signed

I prioritize Sirion City, as it is our historical capital, and I prioritize regions that aren't in the middle of nowhere, far away from the rest of the nobility on the island. Making the realm look like swiss cheese is also a very poor choice, as we struggle to hold regions when they are far apart for a multitude of reasons. You are the one not caring about facts, just some dusty tomes in someone's basement...and even then, Sir temple has an equal (or lesser even) weight with regards to our shared realm history to Ashforth, so even that is a completely irrelevant talking point.


You can have your damn titles if they are so painfully important to you, no one is saying you can't. It's that it is stupid to have those titles in the lands that we shouldn't be holding when there are perfectly good lands available right here.

Report from Rearden Arylon

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Quickly I would like to weigh in as the former long time Lord of Sir Temple. There was some talk of abandoning her in the past when I took the city on, but we chose to keep it. The main reason people felt we should keep it was the infrastructure and recruitment centers that were there. That was not an illogical concern.


That said, though, I am one of the voices that is in favor of moving toward contiguous borders. Ashforth has slightly more gold than Sir Temple and is in a strategically important location, and would nicely add to our contiguous borders. It would not immediately be productive, but its population is actually fairly good right now, and when I was briefly lord there, I actually invested a LOT of my gold in the local economy. So it is probably in pretty good shape.

Regarding cultural history and what not, I do not consider those to be real arguments either in favor or in opposition to EITHER of these locations, whether it is Sirion's historical ownership of the Temple or Nivemus's capital being Ashforth. If you have a long enough memory and a knowledge of history, virtually all northern cities and rural communities are "historically ours" and all of them have been at various times under our banner, or sometimes in the control of rogues, or perhaps even enemies. Sirion's history can not be a prison to lock ourselves into... we need to make rational decisions for today based on the current geopolitical environment. Sir Temple is no less important to Sirion if we were to withdraw from the city than if we were to keep it. Ashforth would just be more important to us in comparison, if we were to make that decision.

And my opinion is that we should. Ashforth is more valuable to us, and more useful to us than is the Temple. Importantly, our firm western wall of regions also means that no one is going to realistically "sneak behind" us to take it. If they somehow did, we could respond quickly and easily.

In addition to this, I would like to address one thing regarding duchies as well.

I would like to see one region (at least) from the Duchy of Osmeneliath shift to the Duchy of Oroya, for two main reasons: first the reasonable spread of regions across our duchies in general. Osmeneliath has 5, and I have only 2... having one move over would give Osmeneliath 4 and Oroya 3. Still uneven, but much closer and would make the whole realm much more equal.

Secondly is income. Oroya city is still not giving me much in the way of gold and my personal gold reserves are nearly gone. I can keep subsidizing myself for a little while, but income is important, and any opportunity to get more (as Duke) would be helpful.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Realm,


Regarding Sir Temple. First thing to say is that it is my region, and my duchy, and I take my duties very seriously to my people, Lords and Commoners alike. Moreover the cultural significance of the region is priceless to a man like me who values culture. If Sir Temple is given up without overwhelmingly good reasons, I will consider it a betrayal of Anarionath by the realm and I will be leaving Sirion.

Secondly this argument Sir Rearden has set up about Sir Temple vs Ashforth, is a straw man... a fake argument to justify abandoning Sir Temple. We can easily keep both regions by abandoning a bad rural region instead. Either Obando or Dale are prime candidates for abandonment, two regions so poor that we haven't even bothered to appoint a Lord for them.

Now to Sir Reardens prejudice about only keeping Contiguous regions ie only those regions joined up to the rest of the realm. It is dangerous nonsense that if applied would fatally weaken the realm.. The whole of Anarionath Duchy plus Avamar is non contiguous. To follow Sir Rearden's logic we would have to abandon at least 4 out of 5 of these excellent regions. The idea is as mad as anything! These regions are under total control and present no difficulty in administration. They provide food and wealth and strategic depth that Sirion has always relied upon in times of war. Plus if we abandon them it will create a bigger vacuum in the north enticing other realms to have a go.

As a military man I cannot emphasize how bad Sir Reardens ideas are strategically. If we start abandoning non contiguous regions we abandon the north and those things that have kept us safe throughout the ages. Our position holding the north with no rivals behind us, our strategic depth, some of our best regions. Why this knight thinks these ideas are good I cannot fathom. No enemy throughout the ages has ever been as dangerous to Sirion as these bad ideas.

Report from Rearden Arylon

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

I'm a patient man, High Commander, but I must admit to being long since tired of your lectures to us being justified by your being a "military man."


My family has among the known world's most accomplished military backgrounds, with a long list of strategists and commanders that have led armies and won wars going back to the now-drowned continent of Atamara. I personally resent the constant implication that you, more than anyone else, understand military strategy and that the rest of us are mewling children who know nothing of war and conflict. I furthermore resent the implication that disagreeing with you -- as you and I frequently have over the issue of milita, and other issues -- is some kind of dispute between someone who knows the military, and someone who doesn't. I would match my tactical knowledge with any soul alive.

I will remind you that I am the last man who led Sirion into and then out of war in my service as Lord Speaker. I take your comment about how "bad" my ideas are strategically as a personal insult, and one so aggravating that I am tempted to cross swords over it, though I have yet to find anyone in this realm or beyond that can match my swordsmanship, so my likely victory would not bring me much satisfaction.

More to the point, though, I would like you to stop making gigantic leaps of inference and telling the people of this realm that I said something, when I said nothing of the kind.

For instance, my exact words were that I favored "moving toward contiguous borders." I did not call for an entirely contiguous realm... if I did then I would have to advocate for the loss of Tallbar too... but given Tallbar's incredible food production that would be disastrous for us. What I favor -- and pay attention to this so that you don't continue to misrepresent what I say -- is that we have a mindfulness to the importance of being as contiguous as possible. When presented the choice between holding either Sir Temple or Ashforth, given the near-identical nature of the two (with Ashforth being slightly better on gold), the benefit of making the realm more contiguous was a positive argument in favor of shifting to Ashforth.

And while I'm listing my grievences, if you ever accuse me of making a "fake argument" again, I will personally ride to Sir Temple and cut your head off myself. Such an insult is beyond my tolerance and I will not stand for it. And for the record, I am not "this Knight," as though I am some young, anonymous sellsword. I am the former Lord Speaker of Sirion, and currently both a Duke and a Governor. If you are going to lie and misrepresent what I say, the least you could do is show an ounce of respect for the blood I have shed for this realm.

Back to your absurd statement, you act like I have some kind of burning desire to offload Sir Temple, entirely ignoring the fact that I was its previous Governor, Falconi. Much of the infrastructure of the city is my doing. I loved my estate there, and deeply cherish its people. I have no interest or intention of "justifying" anything, I was simply weighing in on the debate about what we are to do, and where we are to go. If my perspective doesn't win out, I have no intention of throwing a temper tantrum or rage-quitting my realm as you seem to intend.

Incidentally, speaking of fake arguments, you created an entire scenario which is not only not recommended by me, but also a complete misrepresentation of what would happen anyway. If we abandoned some non-contiguous regions, for instance, we could theoretically take some current rogue regions and MAKE places like Avamar contiguous. It is not a choice of "abandoning 4 our of 5" of our regions... and anyway, I was not referencing all non-contiguous regions anyway, as I've already made clear.

The one worthwhile thing you said in that screed, Lord Commander, is that there may be other options that would prevent us from having to choose between the Temple and Ashforth. That is true, though Obando and Dale do have value as well, and blithely dismissing them as expendable without weighing the relative pros and cons of the various regions is foolhearty.

My last word: Republics can only function if the nobility is able to think and speak freely as to their opinions . You all know me, I have never insulted anyone in this realm, even when provoked, and my last message to the realm was reasonable and honest. The Lord Commander's was neither.

If we are to debate the merits of ideas, let us act like mature adults as we do so.

High Commander Lorenzo,


It is shocking to hear you state - if you overwhelmingly disagree with the Realm's decision that you would abandon your oaths and duty. Your duty is first to Sirion not commoners or Lords - instead their duty is to serve you. We sacrifice Lord and commoners in service of Sirion - not the other way around. Regardless, your Lords and knights will not leave so you would abandon them as well. Let us have discussion without ultimatums. I ask and encourage you to retract your statement.

Sirion must be stronger to defend itself. The region change is based in survival and defense. You yourself have said Ashforth would serve to provide an excellent defense to our Southern border.

Fellow nobles,


I would change the conversation. One more noble joining our Realm would change this conversation significantly. If we had more nobles, would we all agree on taking over Ashforth? I will start a referendum. If the answer is "yes." Then I will seek to solve that problem.

There has been plenty of my hand being forced this past week anyway, both in the open and behind the scenes. Sirion will have to find its way forward with or without me, and constructive decision will be the way to go.

I would encourage other nobles, especially among our senior ranks, to speak up and be counted too.

I do not believe my referendum is inappropriate. I am a senator with the right to hold a referendum by definition of a Republic. I have asked the Realm for guidance on what I myself should do. I have also phrased the referendum very specifically by asking if they would agree with the act.

I hold the Lord Speaker in the highest regard, he is my Duke and would not force is hand in any matter. If the Lord Speaker believes it is inappropriate then I will retract my referendum.

Letter from Brock Ketchum

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Nobles of Sirion,


Interesting discussion. I think we should find some common grounds first before we move on towards the difference.

First thing that we can be in agreement on. It has been known that many rogue regions surrounding our region can cause rogue attack. When rogue attack happens, either we station militia which caused drain in our food productivity or we station the region lord which caused Sirion military strength to decrease in any frontline war. Or we do none of these two actions and let the rogue damage our rural region or drive it rogue which does not look like a region lord acceptable code of conduct.

Second thing that I am sure we all can agree upon. We all like cities or stronghold. City produces gold more. No matter Ashforth city, Oroya city or Sir Temple itself. However a city or stronghold requires food from rural region as it does not feed itself. Usually it is an ideal situation if we have 3 rural regions to feed 1 city. While I do not possess data on our food situation, this will have to be provided by our good dependable Banker.

In a conclusion, we need balance our good need(city) and our food need(rural). Do we wish to see ourselves having to buy food from abroad, from another foreign realm just because we cant feed our own cities?

Letter from Razo Carmel

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)


I just wish to respond to Senator Brock's very useful letter and provide my take of what I think of Sirion's food balance, now and future.

Sirion is food rich; second to Caligus but that is only because our recent lengthy drought was not also effected in the same way by Caligus.

The figures I now keep you are based on summer data which also happens to be the realm's annual average. I have rounded them and adjusted populations to simulate full restoration.

On that basis the realm's net supply is 190 bushels per day, made up of a surplus of 265 bushels and a deficit of 75 bushels.

As expected most of the surplus comes from the four top rural regions and any two of those fully satisfy the total deficit.
Our individual city supply needs are quite spread with the largest daily deficit of 40 bushels belonging to Parm while in contrast Sir Temple actually enjoys a daily surplus of 5 busheels. By comparison Ashford would have a net daily deficit of 13 bushels which is not signifiant compared to the total realm supply.

I conclude that our food supply is safe as long as we at least maintain our current rural regions and are not visited by too many unusually long droughts like we have just had.

I hope this has been useful. I am always happy to discuss the food system I use with anyone who will listen.

I have just noticed the expansion and shrinking of some realms. Caligus now borders. I considered them a friend when I was Lord Commander I am not sure if they have changed their tune much, but I know we have one of their nobles here speaking of RC reform. That can be good; though my initial thought was why on earth are we giving away the structure of our military away.


As to Senator Solomon's point about nobles I agree that our main focus should always be to increase our noble count. To touch on his referendum I saw no issue with the Senator beginning the Referendum it forces no hand it is simply a poll to see how the realm feels about a certain topic. If we are to gain another noble Ashforth would for sure be a good acquisition as long as it does not infringe on the previous agreement we had with Eppollyn.

Something I also noticed is that no realm has an ally this has changed only slightly since I last looked where Shadowdale and Eppollyn were the sole allies; seems there could be some tension between the two since we gave up Ashforth as suspected might happen.

I will stop here to not bore you all with any more of my thoughts.

Senator Brian,


Excellent observations. Due to your letter I had my scribes provide me reports. Eponllyn has lost 8 nobles over the last 3 months. They have been forced to shrink their Realm's size as a result. According ot the reports, Eponllyn cannot capture more regions. Therefore, Eponllyn is limited in its war capacity - a war with them would mean no concern of our regions being taken over. Based on their makeup of regions, I expect they could not feed Ashforth when they could no longer retain all of their rurals.

The other Realms have had a momentary increases or decreases of nobles, but have remained fairly stable. Sirion has been the most stable in nobles which is a testament of greatness to its nobles.

I'm in Sirion City with a handful of others. I do not know exactly what information was shared before I arrived, but since I have arrived our discussion has been military theory and information that is widely available. I share your concern about sharing too much information.

Report from Solomon Steele

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Fellows,


In Sirion city we have discussed the below two battles. Eponllyn has used cavalry to great affect. Cavalry do not suffer the problems due to the weather as archers do and therefore are more reliable. Cavalry are only poor in attacks on fortifications. By my count we have plenty of nobles who could afford 90 cavalry, matching Eponllyn's calvary force in the below Battle in Troyes. I indicated, but did not lie, to our guest that we could not afford that cavalry. I did this to obfuscate our capabilities.

Our other discussion has been about the Astrum special. An army made up of mixed infantry, archers and special forces. That army will not struggle with fortifications, but can be run down by a heavy opposing cavalry force.

We recognize every noble has a right to choose their troops. We can explain our strategy, ask and have the right RCs for our strategy.

Battle report in Glinmar. I suspected rogue hiding when I passby them on my way to Hillmar recently.


The reason I do not use cavalry against rogue because it will be like bringing horse to an arrow fight.

I have no doubt the Horsemasters have used magic in some attempt at the old adage about 'if we can't have it nobody can'. Instead they have only given us a good target to practice our army line-up on. I think even High Commander Lorenzo can agree on the very simple premise that 200 undead on our borders is a security threat and needs to be dealt with.

We don't have the money to support cav unless you plan to actually do some semblance of anything I say.

Sir Solomon,


So the only decent cavalry center we have is in Parm. The solution is obvious. Sirion city and Avamar city have only three RCs each so the cost of building another RC will be not be too high for those cities. The Lords of those two cities could concentrate on producing one good cavalry RC each. If successful, we would triple our cavalry production.

I assume that if we try this we are only interested in good RCs. what would you say was a minimum requirement? 70/70/70 ?

High Commander Lorenzo,


If we were to pursue a more cavalry heavy army we would tear down RCs first. That requires a discussion, a plan and agreement. However, we must immediately freeze building more RCs.

Cities should only build the high quality RCs, while rural and townsland regions should create the other RCs. In this way, once we get the rare good high quality RC we can expand it to the largest possible size. We do not need size 4 RCs in the cities of low quality RCs, if the rurals we'll always keep behind the front lines provide those troops. RCs increase in cost as you build more - by spreading the RCs around we reduce the total cost of a RC renovation.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Senator Solomon,


I have some observations to make. Please give them careful consideration because its not a simple matter. These are far reaching and expensive investments and we must be careful of not causing more damage than benefit.

1. Sirion knights do not tend to choose cavalry because most of our fighting is against rogue and we tend to optimize with ranged troops to fight rogue. Lets say that some knights choose cavalry to fight a human war. We will still only have say three knights willing and able to field large cavalry units, so we are looking at a total build of say three level 4 cavalry RCs. So we already have one such RC, I judge that two more are enough for our needs.

2. I am against destroying existing RCs in our cities because everyone knows that producing good RCs was easier in the old days. That is why we have a lot of good ancient RCs. The time and effort to replace them would be very high and we might not even get good replacements because nowadays if you already have existing good RCs the new ones tend to be lower quality. It's a gamble I think unnecessary.

3. Also the existing RCs we have in cities are more useful than you might think. Take for example Avamar, it has three mediocre RCs, but its an isolated forward city and they are pretty useful if you need to put up a lot of reasonably priced militia in a hurry. I wouldn't want Avamar to lose them.

4. Building a new cavalry RC in Sirion or Avamar is not that expensive. Because they only have three RCs each. Even my region of Sir Temple which has 4 RCs, the cost of a cavalry RC is only 625 gold which is very affordable. In Sirion and Avamar it will be even cheaper. Once the first level of an RC is built the cost does not go up due to the number of RCs I think, so we won't get any benefit for levels 2, 3 and 4 by destroying existing RCs, and that's the most expensive part, especially level 4.

In summary, we should not destroy existing RCs, we should instead build two new cavalry RCs, one in Avamar and one or even two in Sirion city. The only question in my mind is how good do we want those RCs to be? What are the minimum stats required?

Is Sir Dominic correct? Are the nobles gathered in Sirion city incapable or unwilling to forward messages? Or even to pass on contact details? What a sorry state of affairs if true. I don't see how we can fight a war if we can't even pass on messages.

Very well, since no one seems to be able to forward messages I will depart Sir Temple and physically travel to Sirion city to take part in the discussions. What a sorry state of affairs.

Report from Dominic Rea

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

The guidelines are going back and forth, and have largely stalled without your input. The general summary is that most centers will have to be tore down and replaced with the sort of general composition we want our army to have, and that the centers we do build should be of a very high quality to start, and to keep those centers within the Cities. We are, in general focusing on countering the apparently once again heavy Calvary of the Horsemasters. However, without the General being here, we can not continue discussion, as several decisions have to be made before we can move forward. Which is why I urge you to trust in your fellow nobles to defend the realm, instead of travelling sideways to witness every rogue battle yourself.


I must make this very, very clear: if the Horsemasters get any ideas about attacking us, we will fold immediately if you can't put trust in your own army. You can not be everywhere at once, and trying to do so will do nothing but cause wax burns on your fingers and sleepless nights on your horse. Leading isn't about being at the forefront of the charge: it's about being able to step back and see the bigger picture, to support and strategize with those below you to have the best overall result. Every single army on the island has a General and a Marshal position for that very reason: one noble focuses on the larger scale war, and the the other gets their hands muddy in the trenches with all the details. Some armies have tried to have the same noble do both, but it has always ended in dysfunction....at best. This same idea is how our very society works. We are ordained to lead above those that work the fields by blood, yes, but do we use our days to set the measurements between the seeds? In our class, do the region lords have to sit in their regions for days on end to worry about every little bureaucratic thing? That is what we have Courtiers for.

This here, is why you should have been in Sirion City days ago, High Commander. You are our highest level of military leadership, the man who is in change of working on the biggest picture. A single battle against rogue, or any single region in this realm are both lesser concerns for your position to the realm-wide concern of our RC situation. Delegate those things, High Commander. Empower your nobles, trust them, not burn yourself out running all over the place.

Duke Lorenzo

I am not in favor of building a Calvary center in my city. Personally I think Calvary is pricier then infantry and archers. And it would take a rich noble to be able to recruit and keep a Calvary unit in my mind. Plus how many nobles would want to have a Calvary unit in the first place? If there is not much of an appetite for nobles to recruit those types of units then to me it is folly to make more then one.

I say give the nobles a choice by having one they can recruit from and make it the biggest center it can be. But Calvary is only good in combat. They are not good for militia or PW so they are less versatile then other units.

Duke Lorenzo,

I tend to agree with High Arbiter Lady Lerriana with regard to the building of more Calvary RCs. While it is true that Sirion has only one Calvary RC, there are only two Centers which have more expensive recruits; both are ranged Special Forces. There already are some RCs which have excellent numbers in all categories from which our nobles can choose from.
To me, a better plan would be to increase the size of the best of these RCs so the availability of quality units can be utilized by all of our nobility depending on the funds available to them.

Best regards,

Creating Calvary RCs is premature, since we have not agreed on a strategy or plan.

If we did want to emphasize Calvary RCs one RC that has been enlarged is not nearly enough. Large Calvary RCs gain recruits very slowly. We would need more RCs to keep up with the demand for cavalry. I have seen 3 special forces RCs being unable to keep up with moderate demand for special forces in peacetime due to each RC only gaining 2 recruits per day.

Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach,


Greetings. I am Duke Lorenzo, High Commander (General) of Sirion. I have been away from Sirion city fighting rogue in the north and the west.But now I have returned and would hear your expert opinion on the state of our recruitment centers.

So could you please give me a summary of your findings, and what strategies we could employ to improve our fighting tactics. I am in particular intrigued by Astrum layered defense, but I welcome all your ideas.

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

Greetings, Commander Falconi,


Looks like you already got some of my letters. If you are interested in Astrum's mighty layered ranged walls, your priority would be to focus on getting three types of RCs.

Archer, Ranged SF and MIs. Among those, both archers and MIs will work as the backbone of your army. The ranged R5 RCs will be nice to have but those are not as important for Sirion since Sirion seems to lack the funds to run them effectively.

I'd suggest focusing on aiming for high quality archer and MI RCs first. Since your realm already has RCs with 100, you are unlikely to get any additional RCs with 100 on them. Of course there is still a chance but your chance of getting one will be very low.

Also, while the Astrum's army format is quite powerful and is known to be one of the most cost efficient ones, it has never been tested against a realm such as Eponllyn. As you may know, most realms on Dwilight can't run cavalry RCs since they need to focus on fighting rogues. And rogues are very good against cavalry units as they are not as weak and soft as us humans. To survive their cavalry units, you will definitely need to focus more on your MI RCs defense stats.

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

Personally, I think it might be better to purely focus on MI RCs only. You will certainly be lacking a bit of range but nothing having more MIs can't handle. MI units aren't afraid to engage enemies in melee and you won't have to bother much about them panicking over not having an infantry unit to prevent them from advancing forward.

Sir Eisenritter,


ok, So here is a proposed formation using your Astrum layered ranged army.

Have I understood correctly? Can it be improved? Please tell me what you think:

Range 3 MI - Middle box defensive
Range 4 SF & Range 4 Archers - Back line defensive
Range 5 SF - Rearguard Skirmish Defensive
Infantry - Rearguard Line Normal
Cavalry - Rearguard Aggressive wedge

For reference I believe we have some excellent ranged 4 SF but rather poor ranged 5 SF.

Report from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients)

I've had a good look at the RCs in the realm. Its not very impressive. Here are the production figures for good useful troops:


Infantry - About 600 good infantry.

Archers - About 300 good ranged 4 archers

MI - About 300 good ranged 3 MI

Ranged SF - 120 excellent but only range 4 SF.

Cavalry - About 20 excellent cavalry from a small damaged RC

Its a largely infantry base. We are far away from being able to create a cavalry army. If we want to allow nobles to convert infantry to MI then we need to provide more and better MI RCs. Also Ranged 5 SF need to be built.

If you have too many high quality infantry RCs, you may have to demolish them to increase your chances of getting good MIs. Otherwise, you will be betting on less than a percent chance to get a good one. If you have less than a percent chance to get it you will be spending a lot more gold and time to get one.


It would be cheaper to demolish the existing infantry RCs and focus on getting good MIs. Also, from the report I got, Sirion has too many RCs in Trinbar for no reason.

Yes but Trinbar has our best archer and MI RCs, all expanded to size 3. Its an invaluable resource. Also its right next to the capital so we can use it to reinforce Sirion militia if an enemy gets that close. I don't want to lose the excellent RCs in Trinbar. Its our cities that tend to have poor RCs. I don't know why.


I can get rid of a couple of high quality infantry RCs in Sir Temple up north, I just hesitate to destroy the work of decades.

High Commander,


I don't understand your point regarding wanting to have RCs in Trinbar over Sirion. Why would you want to use Trinbar's RCs to fortify Sirion when you can just have RCs in Sirion to fortify the city? Also, they are level 3. You can't even expand them to level 4 which is twice as big as level 3.

It doesn't matter there are good RCs in Trinbar. You need to get rid of them and have them built in your cities. It is mathematically unwise to try for good RCs in your cities when you already have them in non-city regions. Unless of course you want to do this RC project for over 300~500 days.

“Captain, what news you have today?” Brock asks.


Captain Max holding the parchments as he goes through.

“Many people are complaining about the high taxes.
12 bushels of food had to be burnt because they were found to be rotten.”

”Wait, what? Why people complain about high tax?” Brock inquires further.

Taking another scroll out, Captain Max replies “Apparently the neighbouring regions must have aet the tax rate too low compared to Hillmar.”

”That must be it. By the way, have you instructed guard to go through the food before decided the food is completely rotten?” Brock continues on.

Captain Max replies “Yes, my lord.”

”Look like we have to go through this winter with many food losses. There is food deficit today, there will be many such days to come. Order the guards to protect the warehouse at all cost. Rotate the guards by shift. Noone should walk alone while on guard duty” Brock instructs.

Written down Brock instruction, Captain Max nods as he replies “It will be done immediately.”

As his Captain leaves the tent, Brock ponders over another parchment report on his desk. The men equipment damage is getting heavier each day.

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)


Good day Sir Naismith. I understand you have been asking about the Realm's grain reserves? I can report that as of today the Chancellery's official statement has posted:

Total production: 140 bushels/day

Total consumption: 383 bushels/day

Total net: 243 bushel daily deficit

Total storage: 12472 bushels

The realm will run out of food in 51 days without extra imports.

I should point out that 51 days assumes we remain at the winter deficit given above; which is not true of course. In 51 days we will be enjoying our autumn bonanza of 737 daily surplus and having already had spring and summer surpluses, our granaries will be almost replenished ready for next winter. The report above is for today's average weather but even with a drought it would still be more accurate to say we will not run out of food.

I feel that I once again should note that unless we double our noble count, we will never hold the regions behind us with any strong hand: frankly we should be focusing on what regions to take from the honorless Horsemasters and the rebellious Southern Duchy to replace the regions on our backline that can no longer be well managed. As I have stated, we can deal with both Sir Temple and Tallbar by simply taking Ashforth and Obendorf: two regions we hold old claim over anyways. My old Lordship of Hillmar and the neighboring Gilnmar are more problematic to switch up, but I see no reason to worry about them so much, as war and opportunity will pull more nobles to us and we may be able to truly take some of the rogues between....that is, if we are willing to leave Sir Temple and Tallbar to the rogues at that time.

Honoured members of the guild,


Many of you will remember a few months ago when the Tormentor of Shadowdale - Sean Dixon was found to be attacking adventurers at random without cause or warning. When this came to light in the guild, after many in the guild openly said they were planning to end all relationships with Shadowdale while such a man remained. He swore that this was a misunderstanding and that such actions would not happen again unprovoked. As a landed member of the nobility, I took him at his word.

Well here we are a few months later... and Shadowdale is still an unsafe location for adventurers.

Beaten Up!

You are suddenly captured by a group of men and soon brought before Sean Dixon, Tormentor of Shadowdale, Earl of Greatbridge while you are in Krimml. He punches you hard, tossing you onto the ground, kicking your head, jumping up and down your abdomen like a monkey, but you can do nothing except whining and begging for mercy. After some good hours, he has finally gone, and you could feel something is broken about your body even only barely conscious. You are now wounded.

I was attacked, without warning, without a word being spoken, seemingly at random while walking the streets of Krimml. It seems Sean Dixon's word amounts to being worth nothing.

You sent your thugs to attack an unarmed woman in the street.
You have proven that you have no honour.
You have proven your word is nothing but lies.
Your mere existence now actively harms the reputation of your own realm.
You sir, are nothing but a coward.

To my clients and contacts in Shadowdale I apologize, but I can no longer do business in your realm while Sean Dixon remains.

It is about time that Sir Sean is removed from this guild, no member has ever been so harmful for the guild then this man has.
It should be very clear for all of our members here not to do business with this man and stay very far away from him.
This guild is designed for nobles to hire adventurers for repairs or buy their items, If some of our members abuse that trust and use the guild to harm and steal from venturers and nobles, our entire reputation is at stake.
This man has stolen destroyed, tortured, killed and beaten his way through the East Continent and even left his own realms in shatters as he moved on to the next.
What Shadowdale does with this man is up to them, but this guild should have taken action yesterday and not wait for more damage to be done tomorrow.

At this moment we have only one elder member of this guild, Lady Delphine, please take action and cleanse this guild of those that seek to harm it.
This guild means very little if we let people like Sean harm its members and its reputation.

I have asked Tormentor Sean to provide a full account of his actions and when the matter has been investigated I will judge accordingly. Until then I can only reiterate that wanton abuse of commoners is not a sign of nobility and those who indulge in such brutality cannot expect to earn respect by doing so.

If the charges are proven I will support Benefactor Marchusson's call for the expulsion of Lord Sean from these halls.

If there is a suitable punishment will be imposed, which in the case of abuse of a commoner is likely to be a compensation payment as this is the custom of Shadowdale.

Quite where the deflection is in this I am uncertain. Perhaps you mean that legal processes in general are a deflection?

Back to our discussions. The Astrum special - army of mixed infantry, archers and special forces could certainly be devastating, but we need an answer for cavalry troops. As Sir Eisenritter stated, Eponllyn has chosen to field elite deadly cavalry and has yet to be matched on the battlefield.

In a defensive situation, using the Astrum special all units could dig in with mixed infantry in back with archers and special forces in rearguard. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the enemies archers as they will shoot the entire battle at their max range. This allows two charges of enemy cavalry in position middle before they hit our lines and puts the cavalry alone at point blank range. The question would be if we can withstand the last cavalry charge from those cavalry they put in back.

We could have 4 heavy cavalry units in rearguard. They would meet the enemy's infantry and first cavalry charge, who is weakened by missile fire, in our front and could stop the charge.

However, after we did that our enemy would put all their troops in front and overwhelm us.

Marshal Steele,


You can only dig in as a defender and you need to either own the region or run a TO.

It is a good idea to have your own cavalry units to counter but if enemies land their charges first, you will suffer the same.

You could choose to hire enough MIs to soak up the damage. If half of your nobles field MIs, you can probably deploy them in 2 rows to soak up the initial charge.

Marshal Steele,


I don't quite understand what you mean but cavalry will continue to move forward until they hit something. If both attackers and defenders move to the same row at the same time, it will be up to whoever moved to the row first. Unfortunately, units don't move all at the same time. Some units move ahead of others even in the same round. From the battles between Perleone and Alara, Perleone's cavalry untis always moved before Alara's for some reason which resulted in Perleone missing their charges all the time.

Not sure of this RC thing. Seems to me that this is the situation:


Cons:
1. we have no range 5 SF RCs
2. we have just one RC of decent but not spectacular range 3 MI
3. we have just one badly damaged excellent cavalry RC in Parm. Might not be easy to expand until Parm recovers.
4. We have no buy in from and city Lords at this point on either destroying existing RCs or building new cavalry or MI RCs.

Pros:
1. We do have Oroya city as a blank slate.
2. I'm willing to destroy two good infantry RCs in my stronghold of Sir Temple and try for MI , Cav & range 5 RCs.
3. We can probably afford to destroy 3 good RCs in Trinbar in order to improve our odds, but I insist we keep an archer and an infantry RC in Trinbar.

I am somewhat skeptical about the risks involved, we'll be destroying at least 5 good RCs in the hope of creating a different force balance with no guarantees we will be better off. I don't think you'll get the city Lords to agree. Dukr Zadek is here, he's the Lord of Sirion city. What does he think.

We cannot go to war with only good archers and good infantry. We'll be defeated by a cavalry charge and/or our archers will be outranged. The battle report shows that Eponllyn, Caligus and Perdan are able to bring both ranged special forces with range 5 and cavalry.


We can put replacements for those RCs torn down in regions adjacent to the cities.

High Commander,


If you can't convince the lords on doing what is right for the realm, you will be stuck with an outdated army which won't be able to compete with your most powerful neighbour.

I pray that Sirion's diplomats are better than its soldiers. That would be the only way to outcompete your potential enemies.

If you are just planning on destroying 5 RCs, I'd recommend just keeping them. It is quite clear that Sirion is not ready to fix its RC problems. The RC project can't be done with people only committing what they are willing to lose. It requires the cooperation from the entire realm. If you can't achieve that there is no point on trying.

It is quite unfortunate to see how short sighted Sirionites have become. Maybe the departure of the elves did more damage to the realm than I initially thought.

Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach

Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (8 recipients)

High Commander,


It is up to you and Sirionites how extensive you want it to be. Sirion's problem is quite clear. Your realm lacks any vision when it comes down to what kind of army you want. I don't know why Sirion's military is still living in the past. Looks like Sirionites have been sleeping in their ancient forest. Unfortunatley for Sirion, the rest of the continent tries to outdo each other. Your neighbour Eponllyn is powerful because they were willing to risk more than you are willing to. Sirion still has RCs from its ancient times meaning Sirion's generals either never caught up with the changes or they never bothered to. In the past, Sirion could afford to get away with this by having more allies. It doesn't matter how effective one realm's army is when its enemies can bring three times as many troops. Those days are long gone. At most you can do is bring your one ally but Sirion does not even have that.

It is quite confusing to me why Sirion wants to remain so inefficient. Sirion no longer has walls once it protected its lands from the foreigners. Sirion's last war against Shadowdale went quite poorly despite Shadowdale's RCs not being that impressive either. But Shadowdale's RC types are still more diverse than that of Sirion. Sirion is mainly infantry and melee SFs. Most of its RCs are in Trinbar for some reason. It has RCs in places where it shouldn't be while having too focused on melee units. Is Sirion benchmarking Perdan? Perdan is known for its infantry units and it is one of the reasons why it struggles so much against Eponllyn. Perdan can't even fight Eponllyn without the walls of Bescanon and Altar of Flames. Unless you are hoping to stay in the north-east corner of the continent permanently, you will have to find a way to deal with Eponllyn. It is not my job to do that. It is yours. I am merely here to assist you in doing so but if the best you can do is giving me reasons why you can't do it, then I am not interested in helping a realm that refuses to help itself.

I would recommend destroying any RC which has any of its stat above 75. Of course the best solution is for Sirion to double in size overnight but the likelihood of that happening is less than the chance of elves coming back from whichever land they sailed to.

I will simplify what you need to do here.
1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.

2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.

3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.

4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.

I don't know why you are insisting on keeping RCs in Trinbar. I don't know which idiot built so many RCs there but he/she should be treated as a traitorous scum for wasting so much gold in a region which hardly benefits Sirion strategically. If you think RCs in Trinbar is going to protect Sirion City, then you should focus on actually having RCs in Sirion City first. Regions touching Trinbar are all poor except Sirion City and having RCs in Trinbar has no strategic value. You want RCs in non-city regions only when you need the region to supply militia units to regions connected to it. Trinbar is only connected to Tabost, Sermbar and Sirion. Both Tabost and Sermbar are poor and if Sirion is under attack, RCs in Trinbar won't do much. Not to mention having so many RCs decent quality RCs in Trinbar lowers your chance of getting those RCs in other regions. Average RCs are around 50 and below. Those don't affect your RC quality too much. You can keep those unless they are in your cities. If they are in your cities, they should be demolished for wasting a valuable space. Also, having more RCs in one region lowers your chance of getting good RCs in that region. So your best chance of getting a good RC will be when you have nothing.

Anyway, I have already said all I needed to say. At the end of the day, it is your call. If you don't mind commanding an infantry heavy army against Eponllyn, keep the RCs you have.

(ooc: nobody exactly knows how it works. It is not something that gets shared. But we all know more you have, less chance you get - more RCs which is considered good that is. It is also based on how the number of nobles you have. More nobles = more chances to get better RCs + more you can actually have. Also, Sirion's RCs are crap to begin with. No point on keeping most of them.)

I'm going to have to:
(1) identify and destroy many good rcs,
(2) stop all the region Lords making more rcs
(3) persuade all city & fortress lords to destroy non useful rcs and concentrate on ones we want.

Got to get buy in from most of the realm.

Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'll put a plan together to present to the realm

Once you get rid of these RCs, you will start seeing better options. If you want to improve your chances even more, you will have to smash more RCs however.

I can agree to a lot of that, but I want to keep 4 good infantry RCs. I'm willing to get rid of 7 of them.


I'm willing to kill all non ranged SF

Delighted to get rid of all archers and MI that don't have max range.

Want to keep one Trinbar archer RC

are we likely to get into bother with the Titans on inalienable rights to recruit watever unit type you want?

No. You won't get into the IR issue unless you tell them what to recruit. Also, you are fine telling people what to get as long as they are asking you what they should recruit when they can't decide.


Limiting their choices is a different matter entirely. Because it comes at a cost. If you only keep 1 cavalry around, you will see less people grabbing cavalry units. But it also kills diversity. But the game balance does not change often enough to promote diversity. It changes slowly enough to focus on the most favourable type and be dominant for years until it changes again. The game's balance only majorly changed once from Melee to Ranged.

As for keeping 4 good RCs, know that in return, you won't get good quality RCs for other types. So you will have to settle for less higher quality RCs of other types. High quality Infantry RCs are the easiest RCs to get. The hardest is Cavalry followed by MI and archer(Many archer RCs are good but extremely good ones are rather rare). High quality R5s are not as rare as some people believe them to be.

Sir Willarc,


My fellow realmmates unfortunately are too focused on enjoying their wines and stories.

They haven't gone to war in awhile and have forgotten about what it means to be a true noble. But it is something they will remember once they meet an aggressive neighbour. They will be forced to remember I am sure when it does happen.

As for Sirion, I truly hope that the realm manages to pull the project off. It is often quite difficult to get nobles to cooperate and I've only heard and seen it thrice in history of this world. Astrum, Eponllyn and Luria Nova. All those realms somehow pulled it off but they also struggled with their nobles to get it done.

People tend to not like seeing RCs gone but I hope they remember you can always aim for something better. That is how you best use your peace time. To improve on your infrastructure for the next war.

Once you build the RCs, you will have to experiment with them to figure out the best line settings. But remember line settings will need to be changed often after each battle to counter your enemies. Also, at the end of the day, winning battles alone won't win you wars. You have all witnessed that in the Perdan-Eponllyn war. Eponllyn's army was stronger but Perdan played their cards right and halted Eponllyn's advance. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to separate long term goals and short term goals. Do not randomly attack a region for no reason. When you are doing something, you should have a purpose.

Ultimately, the quickest way to win a war is to crush your enemy's will to fight. Astrum despite having all the greatest RCs in the world in one place fell because the realm was inhabited by weak minded nobles. Even the thickest armor can't protect you from an idiot who wants to die. As long as you have the will to fight, RCs won't be your biggest problem.

Nobles of Sirion,


REPORT ON RCs OF SIRION - PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENT

We have had extensive discussions with the Caligus expert on RCs Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach. Here is my report:

1. He says our RCs are archaic and out of date. If we keep to these RCs we will be beaten on the battlefield by realms with more modern RCs. He identifies three weaknesses:
Too much high quality infantry. It was good in ancient times but now has been superseded by missile and cavalry troops.
Too many high quality non ranged SF. These RCs are practicality useless.
Too many high quality RCs in Trinbar. This is a weakness since they can only get to size 3 whereas cities and strongholds can get to size 4.

2. He says that the only way we can change and improve our RCs is to destroy a lot (Most) of our best RCs and concentrate on producing more of the ones we want in our cities. We would need to do this because the cost and chance of producing good RCs is improved by getting rid of existing ones. The new ones need to be rebuilt just in our cities and then expanded to size 4. The new ones we are looking for are:

  • High quality range 3 MI
  • High quality Cavalry
  • High quality Range5 SF

Of these the MI are the most important since we seem to be low on cash overall and these units are cost effective and also pretty good against rogue. And by high quality I mean we're looking for 70 and higher in all stats.

3. This project will be impossible without cooperation of all region Lords and especially of the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple because a LOT of good RCs will have to be sacrificed to achieve this goal and a LOT of gold will have to be spent to build and transform these new RCs into size 4.

So that you understand how big the sacrifice of existing RCs will be. I'll give you an initial list that the expert Eisenritter Felsenbach suggested:

From what I can tell you will have to destroy,

inf 40 80/80 Sir Temple
inf 60 70/80 Sir Temple
inf 75 70/85 Sir Temple
inf 50 50/85 Avamar
inf 50 60/80 Elmbar
inf 65 75/65 Trinbar
inf 90 80/75 Tinbar
inf 80 70/90 Sirion
inf 70 65/75 Hilmar
inf 80 80/100 Parm
inf 95 100/85 Parm

arch Get rid of all R3
arch 45 80/70 Trinbar
arch 65 80/70 Trinbar
arch 90 75/75 Trinbar

SF Get rid of all melee SF(Melee SFs are awful in general. Both cavalry and inf do the same job but better)

MI 75 85/75 Trinbar

Once you get rid of these RCs, you will start seeing better options. If you want to improve your chances even more, you will have to smash more RCs however.



So my question is, what do the leadership of the realm say? are you willing to make these sacrifices to transform our military? In particular the region Lords of Trinbar, Avamar, Parm, Sir Temple who will need to smash a lot of good RCs and build a lot of new RCs. Without the active cooperation of these people the project is impossible. For my part, as Lord of Sir Temple, I am willing to make the sacrifice.

I await the reply of these people and the realm. If I get the go ahead I will produce a definitive list of RCs to be destroyed.

Signed

High Commander,


Just so you realise, once Parm smashes these infantry RCs and disbands the men, you are not going to get any decent RCs from Parm in coming years. Because...

1) The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.

2) Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.

3) If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)

I was not planning on following the advisors plan exactly. I was planning to keep three high quality infantry RCs , One in Parm, one in Sirion and one in Sir Temple. The advisor wanted to get rid of all our high quality infantry RCs but I think we should keep three.

Sadly that means that one of your infantry RCs will be destroyed by my plan. As well as two of mine and many others around the realm.

Fellows,


It is contradictory to accept the expertise of the advisor being superior than ours and then immediately disregarding his advice on how to be successful. In that case, don't do a RC renovation at all and accept our army will be obliterated on the field if we don't overcome army makeup weakness with hyperactivity or an overwhelming better strategy.

The problem Parm's state presents is real and Lord Speaker Ivo has provided an excellent summary of it.

1) To solve the following problem, we can draft troops over this long project. A soft draft has minimal moral drop, a courtier can raise it as it drops and you can get ~4 cavalry troops per half day this way. The city is not even half rebuilt yet. The population has yet to return fully and production is minimal. Even if we build the RCs, there will not be any men in it.

2) To solve the following problem, others can send gold including Lords and knights. Taking Ashforth would increase our gold income. The Lord Speaker excels at diplomacy - certainly the best on the continent. Lets negotiate an alliance with Eponllyn to eliminate a potential threat during this project and secure our takeover of Ashforth. Since the city has not been rebuilt, I have very little spare gold. So no gold to reroll RCs and even less to build them.

3) This is a long term project. We build in Parm now and address the other issues so the project is successful. If we count Parm out and start building RCs elsewhere, then by the time we can actually build this RCs, the chances of getting them will be far lower since they have been built elsewhere in the realm. Which kinda wastes having a big city with the capability of having really nice RCs (like the ones you are going to tear down)

"This is a military order."


You are not empowered to order anyone about what type of Recruitment Centers they build in their regions, High Commander.

I do not mind your advice and consent, and I support the realm-wide attempt to make some sense of what targets we should have for recruitment centers. But you do not command me, or any other Lord, as to what we can and can not do in our regions. I built a reasonably decent archer center here in Oroya because I felt it was important that I have one available to me in this frontier region. That is my decision, not yours.

Stop inventing authority you do not have for yourself. It does nothing but diminish your actual standing.

Duke Rearden,


As your Marshal I report the following to you. If we cannot cooperate as a Realm on the building of Recruitment Centers in the correct locations then I cannot win wars or defend Oroya with this army. I have now seen the many battle reports of Eponllyn's cavalry in action. Eponllyn will crush our current army and raid Orya with ease. This is because our army will not have the tools required to gain victory. So, the Lords can build what they want and then lose their regions because they did not cooperate with their military leaders. I have close friends across the continent who are members of Realms that have cooperated and undergone this project. I am now envious of a Realm that cooperates at the highest levels.

One wonders if they traded us Oroya for Ashforth, thinking that they would have the administrative power to hold all three regions in the area by placating us until they could focus thier efforts on warring us: or perhaps just to share the load of rebuilding before trying to take our lands. Either way, we are very, very lucky they have lost a significant amount of administrative power recently, or we would be in deep trouble. We must capitalize on this extra time, as they no doubt are working to restore said administrative power as we speak.

Report from Rearden Arylon

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (18 recipients)

I am not at all opposed to cooperating for the betterment of the realm. I am not opposed to the realm creating a plan for reorganizing recruitment centers and building new ones.


What I am opposed to is the assumptive arrogance of the High Commander claiming a power he does not have, and attempting to "order" me, or anyone else, to do things or not do things that he has no authority to do. The High Commander has repeatedly done this, entirely misunderstanding his role as an officer in service to a republican government. He believes it is appropriate to ORDER members of the realm to maintain a certain level of militia in their regions, and he believes is appropriate to ORDER us to build or not build certain recruitment centers.

I resent the posture. I resent the arrogant assumption that he "knows better" than families that have generations of military leaders of great historical note, and lectures us about what we are and are not "allowed" to do, because he is the realm's general and as such anything that involves a soldier or a sword is somehow within his authority to control.

This is a FEUDAL republic. We do not have centralized standing armies -- if we did, such armies would be raised, paid and controlled by the Lord Speaker, and through him the High Commander. But it is the Lords who raise and pay armies. It is we who are responsible for protecting our peasants and the people of our regions. It is we who are responsible with building and maintaining our military infrastructure locally. And it is only through our cooperation and assistance that Sirion has a military with which he can make strategic recommendations. As it happens, he is not even empowered to order me to take specific military actions (though you, as the Marshal of the army ARE empowered to do that), although in the absence of a Marshal making orders, most of us will treat "orders" from a general as worthy of being followed. Still, it is not his role to do even that.

That is my ultimate point, Marshal Steele: the High Commander is constantly assuming upon himself authority he does not have, and "orders" us to do thing he can not order us to do. I'm quite tired of it, and resent the vain assumption of power he does not have. Had he simply requested that Lords refrain from building new recruitment centers, I would have had zero cause to complain. But that isn't what he does. He is so insecure in his own position he feels he must order us.

He can't. I will not be ordered by him in this way.

Now, as to the plan, let me reiterate that I have no issue in the least with the realm-wide plan to create a new philosophy with our infrastructure. Nor do I have a plan with requests made to the Lords to implement the plan, for the betterment of the realm. If asked to do that, I will likely attempt to comply... though I think many of you are grossly overvaluing how much gold many of us have at our fingertips to implement some of this. But still, I have done nothing but serve Sirion since my arrival, and I would do so in this regard as well if called upon.

That said, I don't care what the realm's "plan" is, we will always need quality archery centers in any wartime environment, and I in particular would like one here on the front lines in Oroya. I was presented an opportunity to build a decent (though admittedly unspectacular) archery center here, so I took it. I need no permission to do so, and I make no apologies for making that decision.

So, carry on with the debate, and build whatever plan you wish. But you would all do well to remember your place, and ours, in the actual military structure of this realm. Far too many people fail to understand Republican Feudalism.

Hope no one minds the saltiness... especially you Mo... I'm rather enjoying building out that relationship as full of tension/bitterness. I figure that Gheric really respects and enjoys Vincenzo and considers him a friend, so it is fun to build a different dynamic between our families here.


That said, while Rearden was being an ass, I hope everyone understands that the thrust of what he was saying from a game mechanic perspective is accurate. Technically speaking Generals aren't even supposed to be giving movement orders, and there was a big crack down on that a couple years ago, which actually got our general here in Sirion in trouble. I would actually prefer to have the General be "in charge of everything, militarily" because it would make military stuff much easier to manage and would probably make the game easier / more fun in a lot of ways... but this game was structured like Medieval Europe (i.e. Feudalism) rather than Antiquity (i.e. centralized empires a la Persia/Rome with a standing army commanded by a central authority), so authority is very much diffused here and there are a lot of limits on governmental officers and their power.

For the record, though, Rearden will certainly be a good soldier in regard to the recruitment center plan. I'm just using this as a point of tension for the story / RP side for the fun of that.

Cheers everyone.

Real quick: there is no titan action in relation to RC projects, because the game itself already handles whos got what power mechanically. No one is getting bolted for trying to order Lords to do X thing with RCs.


Titan Communication
In response to,

who's in charge of building RCs rules wise, and can a general get in trouble rules wise for forcing RCs to be tore down and replaced with rcs that follow a set of guildlines?,


a Titan says,

Recruitment centers are managed at a region level. Only region lords can build and tear down recruitment centers. Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs. They can however work with the judge, ruler, or the dukes to institute sanctions for those who do not comply with their authority. Or perhaps their authority is not as broad as they thought... No one rules alone. Completing realm wide projects like recruitment center overhauls requires teamwork, cooperation, and consensus, amd this is very much an intentional design of the game. To be short, there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others. So if you're a general, working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results!


I don't know which think you are thinking of Matt, but it was explained poorly at the time or your memory might be foggy. Some other thoughts being tossed about that may be of interest:

Player A:
Yeah I read that as General can't force them to do it because there is simply no mechanical way to do so

Player B:
the General gotta beg the judge/duke/ruler to see reason and take their side

Player A:
General yeah needs someone on their side
Either convince the Lord... Or convince the judge to back them up

Player B:
Have the lord do it, or find a lord that will

Player A:
Could do Duke as well
"Oh you aren't complying with the general? Well enjoy your 70% tax rate"

Player D:
I don't care what the general says, I will keep my 10/10 10 cav RC

Player E:
Then as your duke or ruler I will abandon your region and place a competent lord in it

It has also been noted in a lot of words I'm not copy/pasting that the Judge can fine people. Most importantly, however, it was noted that the General position is currently a largely political one where you have to grease hands or egos to get your way. There is little direct mechanical power to the General.....but there are also no rules stopping them from trying anyways (for this situation).

Mat,


I am confused by the historical details and game mechanic perspective you are relaying. As per our Judge bulletin (emphasis mine):

  • The chain of command for everyone begins at the Marshal level, then to the General, and finally the Council. The only orders you should receive in the chain of command is from a Marshal. You may also receive orders through the realm hierarchy separate from military orders. The only exception to this is if an order needs to be countermanded immediately due to new information or battlefield changes, then someone higher than a Marshal may override a previously given order in the interests of tactical necessity.


On the historical matter. Medieval Europe copied itself after Rome. Medieval Europe generals were normally also the King or given absolute authority from the King. In a Republic, generals were given absolute control over military matters because the patrician classes, rich merchants and the old nobility that formed the assembly weren't military experts. That being said, I'm not an expert and certainly don't know everything. I'm a huge fan of medieval Europe, Ancient Rome, Archaeology was part of my major as an American Anthropologist major, I do medieval reenactment and have ready many books.

Keely --


I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."

Titan then goes on to suggest ways that pressure could be levied on a region lord if there was something they wanted them to do, including sanctions, fines, etc. And that's all fine, I don't disagree with any of that. What Rearden was saying (and what I'm saying OOC) is that there is no *authority* in the hands of a general to *order* anyone to do that kind of thing.

This is one of the most accurate aspects of the game, historically speaking, to be honest. Kings in Medieval Europe did not maintain standing armies and relied upon their Counts/Lords to raise armies, that they would then contribute to the realm when some kind of war broke out between nations. History, though, is replete with examples of Lords refusing to comply, or picking and choosing what to comply with... or feigning compliance while not really marching their army where they are supposed to, etc. Point being, there was no "central government" to which the realm operated as some kind of modern centralized state. Standing armies were not really a thing (with some exceptions) and it was much more akin to a loose confederation of nobles who owed various layers of feudal loyalty to one another, typically flowing eventually to a King. But whether you're talking about Medieval England or the mess that was the Holy Roman Empire, in each of these instances the "power" and "authority" of an individual King was typically an aspect of personal command, built around leverage, relationships, etc... and not some kind of "legal power" or ingrained authority that they supposedly had.

A good example of this would be King Edward I versus his son, Edward II or King John of the Magna Carta period. What was the structural difference between the authority commanded by Edward the I, compared to the two weaker Kings? Fundamentally nothing, really. But the other two were not able to assemble the personal loyalty that Longshanks could, and as such the various Lords (Barons) held far more power, and used it against the King.

Here in what you quoted Keely, that is exactly what that Titan is talking about when they say "there's no specific rule about recruitment centers, the game simply requires buy in from others," that is what they are talking about. That why "working together, compromising, and building consensus will always yield the best results," and they're right about that. But there is no mechanical "power" a general has to "order" anything like this. I see nothing in that statement that contradicts that. In fact, your "Player A, Player B" quote basically explains exactly what I'm talking about. They need to CONVINCE the Lord, or perhaps lean on the OTHER power relationships that exist to force LEVERAGE on them enough that they will comply.

I guess what I'm chiding against here is the idea that realms in this game are late-Republic or early-Empire Rome, with a "General in Charge" of a standing army that is centrally recruited and trained, and political leaders (Governors, in their cast) that are appointed magistrates of their regions and have to do what they're told as though they are employees. That is how WE conceive of modern government in our generally first-world, modern, western states... but it isn't how Feudal Europe worked.

Duke Rearden,


I understand your perspective. I was asked by another to issue the same order, but did not for the reasons you describe. I am also concerned with the required gold investment for this project. I do not take it lightly. I agree more thought and discussion needs to occur so agreement is Realm wide before action is taken. However, continued building of recruitment centers only makes any project more expensive. Therefore, a pause on building more recruitment centers is most wise.

It is possible we would plan for there to be RCs in Salta and Dale which would provide archer militia to Oroya. If we spread RCs around, but build rare RCs in cities then we ensure no region is critical to our troop recruitment and reduces the cost of new RCs across the Realm. Furthermore, that strategy allows us to enlarge the rare RCs to the biggest possible size.

Regards,

Solomon Steele

Jon --


I hate to contradict you here, but I have a degree in history with a focus on European history, and that just isn't correct. I'm not saying I'm the world's leading expert on this stuff... but Medieval Europe was not at all copied from Rome. At least not in the ways you are suggesting. In fact, that's one of the main things that distinguishes the Medieval period from antiquity: the massive break with ancient civilizations when it came to how societies functioned, armies worked, etc.

Let's start with where the armies came from. In Rome, and other major Empires of Antiquity, that was raised by the Republic (later Empire) by the Senate, and paid through the Roman treasury, though I suppose admittedly "in the field" those payments typically did come from the plunder the army acquired and was administered by the commanding General. But the point was, the army's creation was a vehicle of a centralized state, and Legions were permanent, professional armies that rotated commanders. Those commanders (Generals) were appointed by the Senate (typically members of the Senate) and given Imperium over their individual armies for a period of time. The army was a reflection of the decisions of the Senate, the Consuls, and later the Princeps (what we today call Roman Emperors).

In Medieval Europe, with very few exceptions there were not standing armies. Knights were maintained by landed nobility (Lords, referred to as Barons, Counts, and a bunch of other titles depending on location). Those Knights were essentially "hired" by the Lords to provide protection for the Lord and the peasants of their region, often times against other rival lords from nearby, technically in the same "realm," which was itself a loose concept in the middle ages. Read about the heartburn inducing life of many of the Holy Roman Emperors, who had lofty titles and everything, but very little power to organize their realm to do much of anything militarily, save obvious emergencies and the occasional figure who had a cult of personality. Just look at this map of what was the HRE in the 1300s: https://i.redd.it/pfasf0ozhu231.png

It is a mess. And all of those regions on the map represent families and Lords in control of their own little slice of the empire, all with competing (oftentimes overlapping) loyalties to various noble figures. There was no "central government" of the HRE, and it was little better in places like France or medieval England either, though admittedly in some instances certain figures were able to assemble a de facto centralized government due to their own personal prestige and domination.

In short, the troops were raised, organized, paid and ordered around by the local lords, for the most part. Those Lords would be called upon by their Kings and rulers to participate in a war, or a battle, and those Lords would usually honor their oaths of fealty to help... though when you actually study Medieval warfare you find that the degree to which they helped (and didn't) was pretty malleable to the situation, with many Kings frustrated at the virtual non-compliance of most of their Lords. Once they were gathered together, yes, you are correct, Kings often acted as generals themselves and they were obligated to follow commands in the field. That's true. But then again, their Lords could also (and often did) decide to withdraw participation and march their troops home, and there wouldn't necessarily be anything the King could do about it.

In any event, the real point here is that the only line of authority whereby "orders," if you want to call them that, are able to be given and are duty bound to be obeyed, is the direct line of the Feudal relationship or oath. Outside of that, obedience to the wishes of a figure here or there was a factor of personal magnetism, leverage, etc, and not of legal "authority."

In the context of this game we are playing here, it has always been explained to me over the years that Generals, Judges, Bankers, etc, have certain mechanical "powers" afforded to them by their position, but that the society they are in is Feudal and there are not direct "order" style commands that they can give that nobles are obligated to obey. They can use the mechanical powers they have to pressure Lords into compliance, but saying "I order you to..." to a Feudal Lord carries no actual official weight whatsoever, given the structure of these societies.

That's all I've been trying to say here.

I want to make it clear I'm not opposed to radically overhauling our RCs, nor tearing down some of the ones in Parm if it is vital (though I'd suggest removing some lesser ones first rather than all at once).


I'm merely stating the difficulties we face as long as Parm is not rebuilt.

Senator Solomon, when it comes to drafting I am not worried about morale drop. What I'm worried about is that in a city where we are lucky if anything to get 20-30 new arrivals a week, taking a bunch of them away to be soldiers is a bit going the opposite direction.

I don't know much about the military side of things but I have two 'questions thoughts on the subject. First isn't it against the rules to make someone take down or build a certain type of a RC, like you cannot force a noble to recruit a certain type of men. Like ordering someone to recruit archers instead of infantry.


Also I am not sure when the centers were built but if they are quite old at one point in the game it was easy to get good RCs but now it is much harder. Also why would we want to tear down awesome RCs when we may never be able to get as good as a RC again. as we have now.

Hi Cathy,


Great questions. I asked both of these questions as well.

We will not tell people to recruit a specific type of troop nor slightly or indirectly punish someone around their troop choice. We will curate the RCs, so the best options are the ones they want to pick. We will ask people to consider changing their troop types. Ashforth would be a great opportunity for troop leaders to drop their troops as militia and recruit a new troop type. For example, on Dwlight my Realm doesn't build cavalry RCs - but we also don't tell people they can't recruit cavalry.

We had a lengthy discussion in Sirion City about this. What other Realms has found is that good RCs are much harder now, because we have many RCs. When you have few RCs, then your RC options drastically improve. This is why you tear down common/cheap/poor RCs, build rare RCs and then build the common/cheap/poor RCs. At least two other Realms have gone through this process. It is a very expensive process.

I guess you and I are reading that differently, but it explicitly states "Generals cannot "force" region lords to manage RCs."


They mean mechanically though, not in any rules sense, to be clear.

While we aren't able see what you're referring to that would be sent, we can say that Generals are free to order that certain recruitment centers be built or demolished. Lords are free to ignore or reject the order. Judges, Dukes and Rulers are free to issue sanctions to enforce compliance with the General's orders. They are also free to side with the lords and refuse to back the General. These are all decisions that can be made in character.

Because the issued sanctions would be a) in character actions within the context of the fiction and b) not something the General actually has any direct control over. Their authority in this situation is entirely based around the legitimacy and respect the character has gained with their peers or certain subsections of their peers.

Since this is all in character discussion (or at least it is best if it is), there is no rule preventing any of these actions or their consequences from unfolding.

I agree that RC recreation and upgrade should be managed.


I have a small concern regarding elimination of lesser centers. It involves the recruitment and staffing of militia. If we eliminate a majority of the lesser centers, will it limit our ability to stock and staff militia to help protect the regions from rouge attacks? Super centers, to label high value resources, might be prohibitive cost wise for rural regions. Perhaps the Cities focus on the super centers and others make up the difference, allowing for militia placement and stocking. Super centers, such as the infantry in Parm, might be held until such time as others are available. At that time, if no longer needed they could be replaced.

A slow role would seem to be most helpful as we will not likely be successful in massive change due to time, cost and potential threats that may arise during our transition.

These are some of the items that I have been pondering since the discussions have been occurring. I will say I am grateful Duke Rearden now has archers to help build our militia. Salta will likely hire some in the near future to help with rouge incursions.

Report from Dominic Rea

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (18 recipients)

It is my understanding that it is most effective to relive all of them of there duties at once, as this means that the chances of better centers are significantly higher for a time, rather then wasting a lot of gold on trying for centers at a lower chance. Say if we were to make ten centers, the chance each day might be something along the lines of

Number of centers currently built Chance of getting a "good" center
1 90%
2 80%
3 70%
4 60%
5 50%
6 40%
7 30%
8 20%
9 10%



If we were to say, keep 4 centers at all times, each day we would only have a 60% chance of getting a good center: whereas if we smash every center that's not already in our "good" guidelines, we would get 90%, then 80%, then 70%........

There would be a perfect number, in theory, that we could mathematically do this "slowly" but since the guildmasters are so private and fickle, we can never know the actual percent chance each day per center to get a good one, and it is best to just go the full distance right away to be sure we are at least getting our gold's worth.

As for militia, as a realm we could spread out with our units and work as we have been to be sure the rogue threat stays minimal during this time. It will take all of us.

I had very low population as well in Avamar. I was able with help get population up like it should be. This is what I did. Declared a few holidays. Build something like a repair shop, or a place where scouts can be trained. Those types of things. Each region has different economy things you can build some may be able to be build while others can't.

You see if the peasants are happy and have a place to work they may move into the region. That helped me. It may not help you but you never know. What do you have to lose.

If you need help with gold to do some of this then contact me I possibly may be able to help.




As for the RC discussion I had forgotten about militia. Militia needs to be troops that are cheep. Even if someone gets men and then drops them as militia the Lord would still have to pay those men every week. And that would be the pay they would get if they stayed in town to guard the town or if they were out doing battle on the battlefield. I know it has been stated that we just can continue to battle the undead when they come up but what happens when we are at war? We won't have men to go around cutting down undead.


If we had a good amount of nobles then we could have had two different armies one to help within the realm and another to fight when we are attacked by another realm.

Thank you for the advice. I had not heard of a shop improving population growth. As a Lord, I cannot declare holidays or hold festivals. Since I am proposing we spend our gold on RCs, I will rely on my family to fund gold for building.

Your concern about militia and troops is why I am investigating whether or not the RC reconstruction can be done in phases. One city and its surrounding regions at one time. As for war, we appear to be far removed from the possibility of war. Based on the battle reports we have, without cavalry or a cohesive army strategy we cannot defend a region without fortifications. However, with our noble count, gold, wealth and recent history - I believe only Eponllyn represents a significant threat to Sirion.

Captain Didelia was ordered to share what supplies as could be spared, in an orderly fashion. Fortunately the locals were in such poor shape they meagerly accepted the aid and did not over run the Blade. Some pleaded for Sirion to resume rule, hoping this would end their suffering.


Upon review, Molly made notes to be sent to the Realm Council of her visit and the potential of taking the City..

You are about to take control of an enemy region. This will take a while to complete, quite possibly several days. Every unit of your realm present in the region will have options to support the takeover during that time. The only thing you are doing here is initiating the process.

Our realm is running low on the number of nobility for the amount of regions it owns. If you keep conquering more regions without gaining more nobility, you will soon be unable to add more regions to your realm without a ruler or duke abandoning some first.

  3. Destroy all Arch & SF RCs with range less than 4
  4. Destroy all good RCs (Good means any stat above 75) except those in cities.
  5. Destroy the two good INF RCs in Oroya and Avamar (Good means any stat above 75) just to reduce the total number of good INF RCs and because these two are not that large or good compared to the three large ones we are going to keep.

Council, Dukes, Lords,


As some of you may know, while not as prestigious as many families here, my family is quite rich. We need gold, for this RC project - therefore any Lord that works with our Lord Commander and our Good Marshal Solomon I will personally invest in their region to facilitate the RC Project. Should the Couriers be interested in helping the Lord keep house for the week or two afterwards, an investment will generally bring in a good chunk of gold on tax day.

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (18 recipients)

High Commander Lorenzo,


I believe you are trying to move too fast or your timeline is not apparent to me. If we cannot replace the RCs with the new RCs due to a lack of gold, then there is no need to tear down the RCs. We may be able to do this in a phased approach - when means one city and adjacent regions at a time tear down and rebuild.

I do not know if an actual strategy of what RCs will be built after the teardown has been chosen. If we leave high quality infantry RCs up, then we will continue to have an army composition with no focus and therefore fail in the ultimate goal of this RC renovation.

I have been slow to generate a draft of a plan, but I believe a fully fleshed out plan will be required to gain the agreement of the Lords.

Regards,

Solomon Steele
Senator of Tabost
Marshal of the Lyanna's Wrath

If we leave high quality infantry RCs up, then we will continue to have an army composition with no focus and therefore fail in the ultimate goal of this RC renovation.


I want to voice my sound agreement with this: Good Eisenritter said thus, if you recall:

I will simplify what you need to do here.
1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.

2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.

3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.

4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.


Which you'll notice also means that "We may be able to do this in a phased approach" is also pretty much out the door. We have no defense now against our neighbors, it's hardly relevant if we are in the middle of this and they declare on us. Rogue is a larger concern: however, since we are focusing on MI's first, it will be a very short time before we are protected from rogue fully once again. I would recommend finding out just how much gold people have to spare, and also ordering a refit of the army: these are the things that will choose our next course of action - our gold stores, and how many nobles are actively monitoring orders.

I will do what I can to help with rebuilding. I am glad we are finally taking on this task which I suggested to some effect back as my time as Lord Commander. Which was shot down for reasons that were weak in claim, and now being contradicted.


To the note of us taking on this task; I believe it would be wise to put in effect ways to ensure we do not be targeted by others during this time.

Either a strong alliance, some agreement of all realms, or declaring a war against a weak realm far away that it would be against titan judgement to declare another war against us due to "dog piling"

Lord Solomon,


I'm not gong too fast, I'm asking anyone to tear anything down at this point at all. I'm just trying to see who agrees and who disagrees, that's all. If anyone disagrees out of those 10 region Lords then we may as well give up now. Only if we get total agreement can this work.

Regarding your other points:

1. We will get the gold if everyone pitches in. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

2. Phased approach is impossible. In order to maximise our chances we have to tear down maximum number of good RCs.

3. We are leaving very few High quality RCs up. Exactly 5. We can't cut it back any further.

4. The rebuild policy in my opinion should be:

- Build initially just in Sirion city, Avamar city and Sir Temple. Those 3 regions are our only fully recovered regions that can host level 4 RCs.

- Concentrate on high quality Range 3 MI and also high quality Cavalry (By high quality I mean minimum stats of 75/75/75) .

-  After that go for high quality range 4 Archers and high quality ranged 4/5 SF

-  Don't build any infantry however good.

Callout for the good responses from Brock Ketchum, Naismith Willarc and Lerriana Leather to welcome this new guy. Even though this one didn't stay, the realm did several things that have been identified as ways to keep new players: having an active newsfeed, getting new player-content messages within 20 minutes, other players trying to include the new player right away in the "story", and similar. While there is plenty of work to be done in theorizing exactly what keeps a player, these things, as well as diversified content have been pointed out as good things to start with. Good show, keep that up and we might get this realm even growing again :D

Sir Dominic,


Fine, if you think we can't afford cav then we can add that to the debate. I think thats not strictly true, I have an expensive SF unit but I could afford cav. I just dont do it because I mostly fight rogue and I dont like wasting gold on cav that will die in rogue battles. Personalty I think we should have a couple of decent cav RCs for those that want it but if Senator Solomon and others also say cav is too expensive then we can concentrate on MI and archers instead.

And these high quality cav RCs you talk about in the southeast can only be obtained by soundly beating and taking enemy cities. There is no chance we can do that. My purpose is to put Sirion on a war footing so that we can defend ourselves, not to come up with a fantasy scheme based on taking enemy cities.

I agree with you, Rea, about how to keep new players and we should start by changing the name of the game which has now become misleading.

"Game of Drones" may be more suitable perhaps...Apologies for the sarcasm and I know that change is not possible, but the internet is full of bad reviews, on all subjects, which have simply been misunderstood and come to the wrong conclusion. Whenever a candidate jumps to that point it becomes much harder to keep their interest.

I know I should try and keep my character as interesting as possible. I promise to try harder, though I warn you all, boredom may be the outcome.

Duchess Lerriana,


The RC revamp has not begun it is still in discussion, and I believe will remain that way till all parties agree to the changes to some degree.
There are documents that have been shown, and I'm sure can be brought back of the list of RC in all Sirion showing the qualities.


Sirion,

My opinion on the militia is that in the time it takes us to bring back our RCs we should have no issues defending our own regions.
I would suggest most lords in their desire to defend their regions when the revamp takes place is switching our units to very cheap archers or MI from a region that is not a city so we will be able to leave said RC available for refits during the time.
This would also save the Lords gold in the mean time not paying for militia and also holding a cheaper unit.

As far as the RC in my region of Limbar I see no reason to maintain it the quality I am sure is pitiful, and I would prefer to save the cost of maintenance until a decision is made on the revamp so I will be able to help fund those in need a little better.

I have done some calculations, based on birth and immigration rates, I calculate that Oroya will be able to maximize its population somewhere between April 28th of this year and June 24th of this year. I consider the later estimate to be the more realistic date in terms of what is realistic... it really depends on whether immigration rates remain reasonably similar to their current rate, or whether they are proportional to population size, and thus would increase as overall population increases.


Either way, we still have several months ahead of us to get Oroya back to full strength and turn it into what it really should be. But with immigration now coming in, we are on the right track.

That is really useful information Duke Rearden, thank you.

I am definitely not an expert on population rates but as you know production is directly connected. It may be useful to note that for the last week or so the North Plains region has been suffering a drought which has reduced production by half. I am wondering if your calculations may have been effected by that and so by a possible surge when the drought finely abates?

Similarly productivity probably effects immigration and I do know that the current lack of a Lord in Obando will be dropping production there by about 25%. Although I suppose its maximum population is not much anyway.

I hope that is useful and please keep me posted.

And that strength has been largely diminished by the seas opening up to troops and the river shifting during the last great cataclysm. While we have an excellent back country to retreat to, unlike our in history it's not protection... it's a backup plan. We must be just as aggressive as the rest of the realms on the island now.

Sir Dominic,


I think that Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach would be a good Lord for Dale. It is a central region and If he can put 3 good RCs in that region then they will supply militia for Dale, Salta , Obando and Tabost. I will supply him with 800 gold which should be enough to put 3 level 1 RCs in Dale. If they are of reasonable quality We can expand them.

Dale also needs a granary and a scouts guild, we can help him with gold for that too.

Respects

Report from Nemean JeVondair Renodin

Message sent to everyone in Adventurer's Guild (42 recipients)

Members of the Guild,


This letter is about history. It speaks of the days that inspire the present. It is an offer and a chance.

In some three days time I will receive family in Domus. A small city that sits in the middle of our continent. There will be those among you that recall the days of the Imperium. The heights of Highmarch. The Path of Ashes. The merging of the Horselords and the Redwing. The days that saw the blue turn to gold. An arm is reached to Perdan where yet again more are found that hail from a long legacy that finds terminus in blood. Quickening veins and stirring memory. Not blood shed idly but blood that gave life. Family.

Remember the days of Greater Xavax, the Era that saw great Migrations, where legend was made flesh and walked among us. You will know that they do still. To those that hold this dear and remember, know that you are welcome at my hearth. It is a select gathering but we will know our own. Make up your mind for there is time needed for traveling. This is nothing more than a gathering to once more look upon one another. To break bread and share wine as we once did. Our people. Of the olden days and those that came after but never had a chance to witness the time of their parents or simply those of which they descend. It is not lost. Only hope is forgotten at times. But you can gain it again.

Sans import other than legacy, you will know welcome. The Castellan will permit you entry into my castles and I will welcome you in the gathering.

Wings unfurled,

Nemean JeVondair Renodin

Request from Lorenzo Falconi

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

Lords Leofric, Brock and Lerriana,


There is now a chance to tidy up our duchies by you three region Lords transferring allegiance.

I would like to see Glinmar & Hillmar transfer to my duchy of Anarionath, and see Avamar transfer from Anarionath to the duchy of Sirion. I would actually lose income on this since Avamar is richer than the other two regions combined, but I support such a move because it's geographically neater.

I hope that the Lords of these three regions agree and are willing to transfer. I hope that Speaker Ivo also supports this change.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi

Report from Lerriana Leather

Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients)

It seems Avamar is going to stay where she is.



As the lord of Avamar, you can change the allegiance of your region to a different duchy. At this time, Avamar is a part of the duchy of Anarionath.

You can switch to other duchies in the following situations:

  1. When at least one region of that duchy is a bordering neighbour of your region.
  2. When you are in a region of that duchy. This means you can switch to any duchy you desire simply by travelling there and pledging your allegiance.
  3. By meeting a duke in person, by both of you being in the same region.
  4. By a duke visiting your region, by travelling to your region.
  5. By meeting a duke at a tournament you attend.

If the duchy you switch your region to belongs to a different realm, you and all your knights will automatically join that realm. Your knights will not follow you to the new realm if they are already banished from that realm.

Duchies you can Join

There are currently no duchies available for selection.

We want Obendorf because it's easier to hold then Tallbar, and has basically the same production. We want Ashforth for the same reason, but in lieu of Sir Temple.

The Horsemasters did not beat us on speed, they beat us in tactics. They made a choice and they stuck to it. We took a region and had two more under TO before they even reached the first region they wanted. As for the Lord in Salta, that's on the Duke, as I have been repeatedly turned down on changing our lordships to elect over direct-duke appointment. We need to re-do our centers, and we will be ready as we will ever get.

Letter from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 00:37:45

Milords,

The High Commander makes a few points, among them is indeed that taking Oberndorf does result in the Republic declaring war on Eponllyn. It is also mentioned however, that few nobility responded to the summons to Oroya City, stating currently only two are there -- I have looked more closely at the list myself, and the reports show that at least 8 of our noble ranks are within the surrounding areas of Oroya City, and likely spread out slightly as calls to investigate Salta, and then investigate Ashforth City were put forth. The others elsewhere throughout the Republic I believe have reasonable duties to attend to maintaining regions towards our rearline, such as Senator Brock whom has continued most excellent vigilance in putting down the Glinmar and Hillmar infestations of undead and monsters as they appear. Others such as my Liege, Lord Speaker Ivo and Steward Jay II also perform similar duties maintaining Parm City, I have no doubt as an Old Knight of Parm... I can only imagine the others are performing similar governmental duties taking care of the Republic's regions, or refitting in Sirion City.

Though that is perhaps not a large enough number to face Eponllyn, it does show we have a level of response and active military adherence to orders almost reaches the half-mark of our total nobility.

Sir Dominic puts forth an interesting proposal -- that of the

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Letter from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 00:37:49

immigration and safe passage of those from regions of Sir Temple and Tallbar -- cut off from the rest of Sirion by rogue lands, and using those extra regions we could take instead, to move and make more solid our front-line of regions, and put us much closer to our neighbours, and particularly with the Horsemasters. Taking Oberndorf would be open war, though the hostile actions that can already be blamed upon them could justify enough nobility and ground-swelling support to declare open conflict with them, and such an announcement would be reach far across the continent -- that the Red Dragon has awoken once more and taken firm action, in earnest.

While I do not heed the calls of war as some more eager hearts of you do, there is a time for the Ancient Republic to decide when to change our past, but retain enough of ourselves into the future. Sir Dominic is right -- we have come far in the last many months, perhaps years... and we stand at a higher readiness than before, perhaps not as much as the High Commander would like... but it stands to you to decide whether this is enough for all of you to go forward -- and to war with the Horsemasters....

Shadowdale to our south also continues to bear news laden with tension on the religious front against Duke Edmund Calder... and soon in the next weeks... or... months .... I may publish a early list of Unique Items with historical and cultural ties to our Republic's history, and from there perhaps I may... encourage pressure upon those willing, to recover... rescue... retrieve.. preserve... these artefacts, and to bring them home from foreign lands, so that we may keep aspects of our history, and heritage... within our hands, and safely maintained within archives for studying and learning.

These old eyes have given a rough look at the maps, and seen that if we should give up Sir Temple and Tallbar, we could alternatively consider using replacing them with Ashforth City, and Rowanglade. Instead of Ashforth City and Oberndorf... we would assert a strong claim on Ashforth City that may cause tensions still with the Horsemasters, and lead to war, but it may fall upon them to initiate the declaration first -- and at the same time, we connect Sirion City to the isolated Hillmar and Glinmar, and Avamar City -- no longer would we have any region of the Sirion left alone with no safe travel routes -- the entire Republic would be connected.

However, I understand Sir Temple has been a large part of holdings for many years, and Royal Duke Rearden tended to it for many seasons as well... while I do not know the further details of both Tallbar and Sir Temple's benefits compared to what the High Commander has so far indicated, it is a discussion I urge many of you to consider partaking in...

A referendum may be a way as recommended by Sir Dominic may be one way to gain more official input on this matter from the nobility.

Safe travels and may the Fates be with you...

Signed,


Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Request from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 00:43:34

Milords,

Standing at 23-strong, my company and my coffers are down to 4 gold... another 25 gold or 50 gold would keep my company in the field another week, or two weeks, respectively. This would cover both wages, repairing equipment, and provisions re-supply at a minimum. If the Republic would wish for me to increase my company... 75 gold or 100 gold would likely allow me to increase the ranks to 30 or 35-strong, and still stay in the field for 2 weeks.

I request at minimum 25-gold from those whom may have that much to spare...

Signed,

Letter from Lorenzo Falconi Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 03:18:57

Sir Temple is integral to our history. It's the source of the Sirion river and the earliest records of Sirion show that the region was first called Sirion Castle, seat of the duchy of Sirion Castle, and first capital of the great Sirion Republic. It is a rich region with excellent RCs and easy to defend and easy to administer. You can't just abandon it. No way.


Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Senator of Trinbar

Letter from Dominic Rea Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 04:13:01

And the historic first capital of Nivemus was Ashforth city: I'm sure our brothers here in Sirion from the fallen realm would like to see it returned to their hands. Sirion City is named of our Realm, and even if there are documents somewhere stating your claim, Sir Temple is the second region we would take the moment we have the nobles to do so - should we manage to keep our realm on the path we've been treading, it is unlikely long before we take it back anyways.

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Report from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 05:26:24

Milords,

Many thanks of deep gratitude to Senators' Brock and Molly of Hillmar and Salta respectively... their swift offers give this Old Knight a warm welcome... Senator Molly of Salta has funded this Old Knight's coffers, and should be able to suffice for a good few weeks, and once a refit order is cleared from high command, an additional 5-10 soldiers will likely reinforce my company. Many thanks, Senator Molly. Senator Brock, you may elect to retain those funds for now, though as always, your hard work in Glinmar and Hillmar may require those coin to further bolster your rogue-hunting and bone-crushing operations there. Many thanks for your swiftness to assist...

While Sir Dominic and High Commander Lorenzo both make good points in that both Sir Temple does have written documents showing it's historical connection as a cultural landmark in the history of the Sirion, our Ancient Republic... but also at the same time being a region we could reclaim with haste once our nobility count increases -- I would still remark that Senator Brock mentioning he would be likely, or potentially, freed from the constant patrols between Glinmar and Hillmar should we at least connect the those two coastal regions with a safe connector to Sirion City by way of Rowanglade, in addition to linking up the roads to Avamar City -- that is another noble whom may be able to operate more on the front-lines with the main army -- and one whom has great experience in military affairs... as once Kronogos of Nivemus himself... Ruler of Nivemus...

But the argument between giving up Sir Temple and Tallbar... those points I leave for you of active interest among the nobility to debate further... to gain Ashforth City, or Oberndorf, or Rowanglade... to give up Sir Temple, or just Tallbar... or some other region entirely... there are many gains to consider... but there will be losses to keep heart when deciding...

We do control Salta now, and Ashforth City is not yet under our banners, but it may yet be... I would encourage any solution to at least link the realm through Rowanglade, somehow...

Signed,

High Commander Lorenzo,

With Senator Molly's funding of 100 gold, I am able to refit in Sirion City at your convenience... and expand my company from 23-strong to at least 30-strong or possibly 35-strong. Would you like me to refit now, or continue to stay in Salta to support the army? I may need to at least visit a bank in Oroya City, if a refit in Sirion City is deemed too far... I have 4 gold coin in the purse... Senator Molly's gold transfer awaits in the banks... my company can stay another 2-3 days in the field before I will need to depart for at least a bank...

Signed,

I'm not sure who has gold that can be spared, but I have exhausted most of my reserves on first Ashforth, and now Oroya. If any large chunks of gold can be spared, I could use it as we seek to rehabilitate the city and protect it. I'd especially like to build higher walls here, particularly given the diplomatic tensions and the possibility of future attack. So if there is anyone who is sitting on a significant sum of gold, I would appreciate it if you considered transferring some of that gold reserve to me so that I can tackle some of these issues.

I second the fact we should not let go of Sir Temple.  It has been part of Siron for a long time.  What about its RC and the food it brings to the realm?

Lerriana Leather High Arbiter of Sirion Governor of Avamar Letter from Dominic Rea Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 14:53:17

Sir Temple

Gold: 858 gold Food: 174 bushels

Ashforth

Gold: 930 gold Food: 170 bushels


The production of each area, compared, is largely a wash, Good Lerriana. Ashforth is slightly better, but the real improvement for us is that we can control it much easier as it's not surrounded by rogue that we can't take. I've defended the region before, and the rogues between are very detrimental to travel, unit damage, and harbor more monsters. The minute we grow larger we can take Sir Temple and it's surrounding regions back first. A paltry five nobles would give us plenty of administrative power to reach back in that direction. As for it's RC, as discussed, the RC's of our realm are....mediocre at best and should be replaced anyways.

Letter from Rearden Arylon Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (16 recipients) - 2023-01-25 15:36:40

I favor holding Ashforth over Sir Temple, for the simple reason that it makes Sirion more contiguous. I have always strongly disliked the disjointed nature of our realm, which has only grown worse with time. If we could give up one city for a comperable, slightly richer city, and make ourselves more contiguous in the process, I'm in favor of that.

Despite that I was the long time Lord of Sir Temple.

Despite the recruitment center and economic issue.

I think geography alone makes it worth it.

(ooc: also consider the benefit post-Hinterlands, whenever that happens... as we would have the "front line" city, but then could take all of the interior regions behind our western front line once that goes into place. Just something to think about.)

Milords,

It appears thanks to reports, it is Knight Lorne Roseguard whom has cleared the Obando monsters with swift action so shortly after the High Commander issued the request to see the rogue threat defeated, and the region made safe once more. Well done, and thank you for responding to the High Commander's call... my old bones had begun travels too late... but I can now save time and move for Sirion City more quickly...

I shall happily transfer some of the funds I have received from Senator Molly to Royal Duke Rearden's accounts once I reach Sirion City, our capitol, to evaluate the resupply and refitting options, and deem what is necessary... it may turn out I can at least transfer 50 bonds to the Royal Duke of Oroya City, and I would hope others in the realm with additional coffers and reserves may be able to further fulfill his request for funding to rebuild the infrastructure of Oroya City, after having spent much of his funds on Ashforth City earlier, and tending to Sir Temple for many years before that.

And of Sir Temple... and the continued discussion on the gains and losses of giving up Sirionite holdings in favour of potentially controlling regions such as Ashforth City, or connecting the realm to Hillmar, Glinmar, and Avamar City proper... there are good points raised about the historical value and meaning, in addition to the comparable production values and recruitment centers that Sir Temple has long provided to our Ancient Republic... I tend towards the fond memories and connection to the past... but at the same time, it would not be lost forever... as some point out... and once the population has safely migrated to whichever region(s) we take next after abandoning Sir Temple, we may be in a better position for the long-term future to reclaim back... Ashforth City...Oberndorf... Tallbar and Sir Temple... Rowanglade to connect Hillmar and Glinmar in addition to Avamar City... there are many choices... some may lead us to conflict and war with the Horsemasters of Eponllyn...

To milords Solomon of House Steele and Brian M. of House Cameron words of welcome to Knight Vandryn Dayne, this Old Knight also nods his head and welcomes you warmly to the Republic, the Ancient Republic of Sirion... perhaps with your arrival... we may not need to sacrifice Sir Temple... but still gain Ashforth City, and a connecting region in Rowanglade to make safe a roadway to the eastern coasts of Hillmar and Glinmar where Senator Brock Ketchum still does patrols to keep the monsters and undead threats reduced, and the southern coast where Avamar City lies...

High Commander Lorenzo, many thanks for your permission to refit, I shall hope to hear word from Lord Speaker Ivo soon when he has the time to address the realm once more... I imagine he has been quite busy with many affairs of state and more to attend to...

Signed,

Can I make a clear stipulation on the proposed regional changes currently being discussed? I apologise if it is obvious or taken as read but please do not swap a derelict region for a well maintained one even if they are otherwise comparable or advantageous.

For example, Ashforth will remain derelict for many many seasons and is no substitute for Sir Temple at the moment. Similarly Tallbar for Rowanglade is not a good fit either right now or ever, to be absolutely frank. 

I do agree the current geographical anomalies need to be addressed, in time and as our Noble count allows but otherwise they can be tweaked as needed for the moment.

Milords,

Chancellor of the Treasury Razo Carmel has made a good point that I had forgotten... it would take time to restore a region... we have seen results swiftly through Oroya City thanks to Royal Duke Rearden's efforts, but we can also see the lasting effect of rebuilding population to any meaningful level through Parm City... we still suffer the effects of Parm City having been lost to rogue rebellion, and the population having to be re-established... for many seasons now... and the population is still not... halfway to what it was before it first fell to rebel hands.

Sir Temple and Tallbar may be notable sacrifices in that regard then indeed... if Rowanglade and Ashforth City were taken in their place...

...however, our current situation in the last few days have seen a few new Knights join us, although one has disappeared from the listings soon after. Nevertheless... we may be able to afford one more extra region at this time? Will it be Ashforth City, or Obando (as Sir Dominic suggests, but it would mean declaring war upon Eponllyn in order to obtain the region), or still something like Rowanglade...? All without sacrificing Sir Temple and Tallbar?

I will admit... reading the Recruitment Center names for Parm City and a few other Sirionite regions... there is history and lore to be found in their names and offerings... some are built and reflect the old names of Sirionites we may remember from the past, or the tenure and time they did spend in the realm... some of those recruitment centers I can remember when they fielded units that did make their way onto battlefields and thus battle reports that stand in the archives of time and history...

However... we do still need to consider upgrading and refining ourselves as need be... I remember when Prime Minister back then, Zakilevo Lappallanch... did an incredible job remastering and honing the recruitment centers to meet his high standards for military operations... I believe Sir Erik Serpentis spent considerable funds on as well on such endeavors... and countless others... tearing down and building new recruitment centers have been a thing done in the past... quite heavily... during the times heavily military-minded Sirionites, or those with Great Funds, could do so...

Signed,

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Report from Rearden Arylon Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-01-27 09:36:31

I have done some calculations, based on birth and immigration rates, I calculate that Oroya will be able to maximize its population somewhere between April 28th of this year and June 24th of this year. I consider the later estimate to be the more realistic date in terms of what is realistic... it really depends on whether immigration rates remain reasonably similar to their current rate, or whether they are proportional to population size, and thus would increase as overall population increases.

Either way, we still have several months ahead of us to get Oroya back to full strength and turn it into what it really should be. But with immigration now coming in, we are on the right track.

Our guild offers an essential service to adventurers and nobles alike. However, recently our funds have run worrisomely low, causing many guild houses to downsize or close completely. If you wish to continue to benefit from the large spread and accessibility of The Adventurer's Guild, I would ask that all members, especially lords where guild houses are located, donate to the closest guild treasury so that we may continue to maintain them.


Sincerely,

Delphine de Montigny Duchess of Perdan Margravine of Perdan Priestess of Aspects of the Flame Head Archivist of Adventurer's Guild

That is really useful information Duke Rearden, thank you.

I am definitely not an expert on population rates but as you know production is directly connected. It may be useful to note that for the last week or so the North Plains region has been suffering a drought which has reduced production by half. I am wondering if your calculations may have been effected by that and so by a possible surge when the drought finely abates?

Similarly productivity probably effects immigration and I do know that the current lack of a Lord in Obando will be dropping production there by about 25%. Although I suppose its maximum population is not much anyway.

I hope that is useful and please keep me posted.

And that strength has been largely diminished by the seas opening up to troops and the river shifting during the last great cataclysm. While we have an excellent back country to retreat to, unlike our in history it's not protection... it's a backup plan. We must be just as aggressive as the rest of the realms on the island now.

Report from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-01-28 03:30:36

Milords,

Sir Dominic and High Commander Lorenzo both discuss important points to consider... and to choose which is more valuable to you all. There are geographical changes since the continent-wide cataclysm... and sea-raiding is a possibility now, making landings towards are back not impossible... more so than before. A stronger front-line still allows us to retake the regions towards our back at some point later on, when our nobles increase in number for the realm. Sir Dominic points out things we should keep careful watch upon... this Old Knight thinks... And though I do not claim any semblance of lineage to any general or military mastermind... what High Commander Lorenzo says also makes sense to me... and to an extent Chancellor of the Treasury Razo... in that regions producing stable income and production can provide the coffers and means to maintain an active war front as well... and then there is the question of many ancient lore and traditions tied to the regions of Sir Temple... but as Sir Dominic might agree with... doing things for the sake of the past and tradition... may place us in danger should we go too far in that direction... there is a balance that needs to be struck... and you, the Ancient Republic of Sirion, must decide collectively where that line falls.

Royal Duke Rearden's report in addition to Chancellor-Senator Razo's insights give a fair window into the next few months of how long it may take to recover just Oroya City alone to levels of production, and gold, that it should be at minimum generating for the realm. Is that worth your time and effort, milords, to repeat with possibly Ashforth City, if we take it? Or even Oberndorf or Rowanglade?

And there is still the question of whether we can afford to move to takeover another region at this time, without sacrificing any current lands we hold thus far? A new Knight has joined our ranks in the last few days, as I mentioned before... and have already introduced themselves. Is this enough to make some small progress towards having another region fly the banners of Sirion?

... I continue to make for Sirion City, and travel through the Tabost-Trinbar roads now... thanks to Senator Brock Ketchum for the transfer of funds to my accounts... together with Senator Molly's previous funding, this Old Knight has 300 gold available... to support Royal Duke Rearden's letter requesting extra reserves be sent to support Oroya City's recovery, I will be only retaining 50 gold out of the 300 gold in my coffers, and transfer the rest to Royal Duke Rearden... the enlarging of my company's numbers, will wait for another day...

Signed,

There are 15 monsters in Tabost, which is ahead of my travels as I leave Trinbar's borders and enter Tabost's borders... sunset is in 11 hours from now, and I shall delay my arrival until Sunrise... which is 23 hours from henceforth...

A good plan to rally at the Border Fort, Milord of House Steele... we are currently holding near the Trinbar-Tabost boundaries, but shall be marching for your manor and estate, the Border Fort, to meet with you with haste, so that we may rally with your banners and prepare to march forth from there together with your forces, to where the monsters were last sighted. Government reports indicate Knight Lorne Roseguard may be close enough within the midlands of Dale's region, and with his additional archers... should we see them in time for Sunrise in 18 hours from this letter, the extra 50-strong archers under his command may be most useful against the 15 monsters...

Safe travels, we shall see you soon... and then I shall continue onwards to Salta... or where the High Commander may instruct us next.

Perhaps, when it comes to RC's, we should ask an expert. I happen to have the contact of one, and will ask him if he's willing to assist.

Sir Dominic,

I think that Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach would be a good Lord for Dale. It is a central region and If he can put 3 good RCs in that region then they will supply militia for Dale, Salta , Obando and Tabost. I will supply him with 800 gold which should be enough to put 3 level 1 RCs in Dale. If they are of reasonable quality We can expand them.

Dale also needs a granary and a scouts guild, we can help him with gold for that too.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Senator of Trinbar

Letter from Dominic Rea Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-01-31 22:00:44

I was under the impression he would be visiting our lands as an advisor, not that he would be joining our realm...although if you are able to convince him otherwise, we could use the help. I doubt that you'll be able sway him to our banner unless you can offer him an estate that is several hundred gold a week to replace the one he has in Fontan.

Report from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-02 04:31:59

Milords,

Over the last few days, across the Republic many of you have continued to battle the rogue monsters and undead forces from the rural coasts of Glinmar and Hillmar, where I presume Senator Brock Ketchum did battle, to Sermbar where Senator Brian M. Cameron was spotted clearing the region, and then to other places like Limbar where Chancellor of the Treasury Razo Carmel responded to the reports of rampaging monsters... and then to Tabost, Sirion City... and Salta too, where I presume it was Senator Molly Prestongreen whom stood guard as diligent as ever in patrolling the lands there for the last weeks and more... while it may be a usual routine for many of you now, in the absence of a wartime summons, know that this Old Knight appreciates the active service of so many of you Sirionites, continuing to hone your skills and battle prowess... while also securing our holdings and citizens against the constant threats of monsters and undead summoning forth and rampaging across the Ancient Republic's countryside...

And many thanks as well for the swift response and joint battle together with Senator-Marshal Solomon Steele, Knight Lorne Roseguard, and with High Arbiter Lerriana Leather in Tabost, where together we gathered ourselves into a Republican force and encampment, and then met the monsters and swept them from the field... while it was a brief meeting, our tents, banners, and preparing to act together with our companies and units, with High Arbiter Lerriana's presence being quite a morale boost... at last for this elderly old bag of bones... it was good to see you all. Thank you again, for your time and effort to rally together and achieve the timing needed to muster together, and not have one person arrive too early, or too late for the battle.

Knight Lorne Roseguard's scout report of Oberndorf from a few days ago does show an Eponllyn Lord commanding 60 special forces in the region. Perhaps standing watch upon the border with Sirion, but the report also does confirm he holds an estate there, a plantation by the looks of it. Most likely a regional Lord looking after his holdings... one may hope...

On the matter of having Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach visit our lands, to aid us in an advisor capacity in the project to rebuild, and analyze our Recruitment Centers across the Republic... I would welcome it... mostly because this Old Soul remembers the time Zakilevo Lapallanch did exist here within Sirion for many years, as it's Prime Minister, General... and more... though we still had Sir Handow Meadowcrest... and others like him... but if Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach does have ties to the Lapallanch Family, I would be gladdened to at least, even temporarily, have someone of such connection be within Sirion's lands once more, and to aid Sirion in the military affairs of Recruitment Centers alongside our military minds as a joint, collaborative project. My thanks to Knight Dominic Rea for reaching out through their contacts and network to perhaps bring a Felsenbach to Sirion... whether he takes up an estate and lordship, or not.

The Lapallanchs were known for a strong mind, an indomitable will, and a voice ready to speak their mind, but also be firm in decisions. In that, there was to be found loyalty, and dedication... and if Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach is already committed in loyalty to the realm he already serves, which I believe may be the case, it may not be his goals or plan to join Sirion at all, but truly to act and offer services as advisor to our military project into researching and refining the Recruitment Centers our realm holds... and to provide insights into the decisions we wish to take next... and particularly those of you in the military leadership and planning circles...

It is nostalgic to see name of Fontan attached to the Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach's name... it refers to the City, of course... but as Senator Brock remarked... it does bring memories of the Realm of Fontan itself... many decades, and decades.... and decades... ago...

Lastly, thanks to Knight Lorne Roseguard for investing over 500 gold into Sirion City -- we may see that investment reap additional coin to add to the realm coffers if production and other factors are kept in good order... let us hope it does... for if Sir Eisenritter and the Sirion leadership, and many of you whom choose to participate in the discussions... to so choose to move forward with rebuilding, or building completely new, Recruitment Centers... there will be much coin put to use...

Signed,

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Request from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-02 04:35:15

Milords,

...Speaking of gold... it seems time has passed by quickly already... and this Old Knight now holds 15 gold in the coffers already... I did recruit a good number of scouts from Trinbar... on the way to Tabost, and eventually back to Salta, the last rallying order my elderly mind can be remember... but it seems the days have gone by already, and I may soon need to request at least 25 gold to stay in the field another week or so.

I do not need it urgently yet, for the 15 gold will suffice for another 1-2 days. But should anyone be close to a bank anytime soon, and willing to fund an Old Knight's company to stay afield for another week or so, 25 gold will do the trick... I would urge the rest to be either donated to Oroya City where Royal Duke Rearden has last requested additional reserves be sent to rebuild the City, or to be held onto for possible spending upon the potential Recruitment Center military project to re-assess what we have...

Many thanks...

Signed,

Members of the Guild,

This letter is about history. It speaks of the days that inspire the present. It is an offer and a chance.

In some three days time I will receive family in Domus. A small city that sits in the middle of our continent. There will be those among you that recall the days of the Imperium. The heights of Highmarch. The Path of Ashes. The merging of the Horselords and the Redwing. The days that saw the blue turn to gold. An arm is reached to Perdan where yet again more are found that hail from a long legacy that finds terminus in blood. Quickening veins and stirring memory. Not blood shed idly but blood that gave life. Family.

Remember the days of Greater Xavax, the Era that saw great Migrations, where legend was made flesh and walked among us. You will know that they do still. To those that hold this dear and remember, know that you are welcome at my hearth. It is a select gathering but we will know our own. Make up your mind for there is time needed for traveling. This is nothing more than a gathering to once more look upon one another. To break bread and share wine as we once did. Our people. Of the olden days and those that came after but never had a chance to witness the time of their parents or simply those of which they descend. It is not lost. Only hope is forgotten at times. But you can gain it again.

Sans import other than legacy, you will know welcome. The Castellan will permit you entry into my castles and I will welcome you in the gathering.

Milord High Arbiter Lerriana Leather,

If the gold is ample enough, I would directly request 25 gold at this time. The taxes have come in, and that did increase my coffers enough to last one week by itself... Another 25 gold would last my company a total of two weeks before having to request funding again. This should be enough to cover provisions, equipment repairs, and wages.

Many thanks, if you are able to fulfill this request... I would leave the rest for others to request gold from your reserves as needed... such as Steward-Knight Sir Jay II alluded to.

An additional congratulations to the Oroya City walls being reinforced and upgraded by the Royal Duke Rearden, of House Arylon. This is good news, more defensive options means we may have less to worry about should future conflict come bearing down upon the Republic... and with sea routes and sea travels now a more viable option than decades ago... but let us hope the possible arrival of someone from the Felsenbach Family will also help us open more opportunities to express and prepare our military options, and flexibility should such a day require it...

For those not yet acquainted with the Adventurer's Guild missives and collective, a letter was recently shared from the Patriarch of Caligus, Nemean JeVondair Renodin... and it seems to touch upon... a reunion and gathering feast for those formerly of the Xavax Imperium... a copied letter soon to follow...

Report from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-05 07:27:40

Milords,

Thanks to Senator Molly, the rogue monsters in Salta have been cleared in the last few days. Two battles were fought, the battle reports are attached below.

In response to Sir Dominic's move to meet the advisor from House Felsenbach in Sirion City... and especially now that Winter is upon us... I shall be remaining here in Salta to assist with scout reports into Ashforth City, and the surrounding regions bordering Salta. Five scout reports are attached... Ashforth City itself shows no signs of activity from the Horsemasters or any other realm currently... we have an Obando presence of monsters, 10-strong, making movements towards Oroya City, beware of a possible battle for Royal Duke Rearden and Sir Periurium there... finally Dale remains clear of any rogue threat, and is empty... and finally a report on Salta itself, where Senator Molly and myself are stationed...

Sir Lorne's scout reports from a day or so ago indicate several things... Flismar was clear of rogue threats, which aligns well with Senator Brock's mentioning that the eastern front is secure from rogue attacks at this time. Further southwards towards the Flismar-Rowanglade borders however, the scout reports indicate a undead horde present with the estimation of 40-strong roaming the countryside. They may have moved on in the last day or so since the scout report, but so far none of the battle reports vaguely reported to the Realm seem to have dealt with a battle of 40-strong in any of the neighbour regions. Be wary if travelling in the area still, you may encounter that horde still. Elmbar stands strong still with the three militia units stationed there, holding watch over the bordering Montijo region via the only bridge crossing available between the two regions... and finally Senator Brian's region of Limbar was where Sir Eisenritter was seen moving out to Sirion City, and Sir Lorne was also stationed and sending out scout reports from. Many thanks again for providing insights into that area of Sirion, Sir Lorne, and for holding a joint battle together with Sir Eisenritter a few days ago against a force of 9 monsters. Sir Eisenritter's force of 18-strong took 8 casualties... I hope they were able to receive aid and recover... otherwise the House Felsenbach member may only have 10-strong to safely travel home with...

A congratulations to the now Duke of Sir Temple, of the Anarionath Duchy -- milord Lorenzo Falconi, High Commander of Sirion. An appointment that moves from the Senator lordship in Trinbar to one of higher post in the northern regions of our Ancient Republic...

My thanks as well to High Arbiter Lerriana for sending forth the requested gold so that my company can stay in the field for at least another week or two more... I will re-evaluate and likely request funding again at that time.

   Lerriana Leather
   High Arbiter of Sirion
   Governor of Avamar

Senator Solomon of House Steele, as per my words above... you are free to reinforce our meeting with the advisor from House Felsenbach in Sirion City if you so wish still -- I shall keep watch over Ashforth City from here in Salta for the time being... the more friendly faces whom may greet Sir Eisenritter, the more interesting stories I think may arise... but I leave the decision to you, but I am sure Sir Dominic may appreciate additional company in meeting with Sir Eisenritter if we also have the High Commander and Marshal together there.

On news from the Guilds I retain membership in... the Hunting & Swordfighting Guild has expanded with a guildhouse in Oroya City, thanks to Royal Duke Rearden's sponsorship. The guild is more of a Sirionite entity, focused on the relationship between Adventurers and Nobility in the fields of Unique Item repairs, and hunting monster and undead threats. The more larger Adventurer's Guild, has a greater membership representing more realms across the East Continent, but the Hunting & Swordfighting Guild is more a quieter version... with Lord Speaker Ivo at the helm as the remaining elder Guild leadership. The Order of the Red Dragon has recently reported to me that I have been raised to the rank of Emerald Dragon, by the rank of High Dragon which our own Royal Duke Rearden holds in that Order. As I recall, the Guild and Order is a creation by the Royal Duke to explore and be a cultural anchor for Sirion culture, activities, and possibly retaining and development of Realm culture, and Sirion values, history, and potentially more in time.

Signed,



Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm


Request from Lorenzo Falconi Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-05 09:47:02

Lords Leofric, Brock and Lerriana,

There is now a chance to tidy up our duchies by you three region Lords transferring allegiance.

I would like to see Glinmar & Hillmar transfer to my duchy of Anarionath, and see Avamar transfer from Anarionath to the duchy of Sirion. I would actually lose income on this since Avamar is richer than the other two regions combined, but I support such a move because it's geographically neater.

I hope that the Lords of these three regions agree and are willing to transfer. I hope that Speaker Ivo also supports this change.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Duke of Anarionath Governor of Sir Temple

It seems Avamar is going to stay where she is.



As the lord of Avamar, you can change the allegiance of your region to a different duchy. At this time, Avamar is a part of the duchy of Anarionath.

You can switch to other duchies in the following situations: 

   When at least one region of that duchy is a bordering neighbour of your region.
   When you are in a region of that duchy. This means you can switch to any duchy you desire simply by travelling there and pledging your allegiance.
   By meeting a duke in person, by both of you being in the same region.
   By a duke visiting your region, by travelling to your region.
   By meeting a duke at a tournament you attend.

If the duchy you switch your region to belongs to a different realm, you and all your knights will automatically join that realm. Your knights will not follow you to the new realm if they are already banished from that realm. Duchies you can Join There are currently no duchies available for selection.

Request from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-05 16:48:10

Milords,

... Fresh scout reports have a force of 20 monsters appearing in Salta, stationary, origins unknown... they were not detected in the neighbouring regions this strongly beforehand from my scout reports... Senator Molly of Salta and myself may be able to dispatch the beasts, but I worry for Senator Molly's troops bearing the brunt of the melee to come, as my company may not be strong enough to reduce the rogue force with arrows and bow before reaching our frontlines.

Requesting assistance from the nearest friendly Sirion forces in Oroya City... if Sir Periurium or Royal Duke Rearden, you should receive this message in time... this Old Knight asks for your presence in Salta, to aid in the potential fight against the monster force here.. and to reduce the potential casualties Senator Molly's force may suffer. While Senator Molly's force numbers 40-strong in infantry, my force only numbers 20-strong, and I have seen enough to believe your added companies of archers or infantry may save additional lives.

Scout report of Salta is attached, and of several surrounding regions.... Obando and Ashforth City remain clear... no hostile rogues or other forces present at this time... Oberndorf has it's regional lord from Eponllyn still maintaining a presence there, having what seems to be a finished battle against monsters there as well.

Signed,

Sir Dominic,

Your statement does not match reality. If that was true then no reorganization in any realm would be possible, but we see that many realms have sensibly structured contiguous regions in their duchies that were obviously planned. Reorganization goes on all the time in many realms. Nothing strange about it, its absolutely normal.

Says the man that called for the very idea. Perhaps save the insults for later, after you've countered my point? I could care less about other realms, as Sirion has been historically the pride of the island, and as such, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard then others, rather then just "reaching the same level." Oaths are not sets of clothes to be shucked off and replaced at any whim. While there is a great many reasons for a Lord to swear fealty to a new Duke, "because it make the map look nicer" is a rather poor reason. It's not as if there is any monetary or control reasons to do so: the peasants and merchants care less if the region they work is contiguous with the rest of it's Duchy.

Perhaps you should try to personally message the lords you wish to swap to you, and convince them that you are a better Duke then the one they have. I hear lower tax rates and more engaged Dukes tend to get larger duchies....

The only person who issued an insult was you. I just explained how you were wrong. Clearly, plainly, demonstrably wrong. Its not an insult to be proven wrong. But you said of me "Says the man that called for the very idea" which is an insult implying I'm insincere and only speaking for defending my idea.

Now I'm going to resist the impulse to insult you back and let it rest.

Report from Naismith Willarc Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-07 22:12:22

Milords,

Senator Brock's battle report from a few days ago showing the clearing of rogue monsters from Hillmar have his special forces of 68-strong, the Hillmarians Honour Guards, working together with the local militia unit to drive deadly waves of arrows into the beasts' and wiping them out completely, with no survivors. I can only wish for those old days when I could command special forces without worry... perhaps that day may come again... In Salta, the call for aid was answered, and Sir Periurium and his Xavax Archers, along with Senator Molly's Mithril Blades joined forces to defeat the 13 monsters here over the course of two battles in the region... and while my company of archers were present in the battle... it was those two's efforts that took the day and the field. Thank you Sir Periurium for making the travels from Oroya City in time to lend your strength of archers to the call of battle. The region is safe for a time, until the next monster or undead incursion. It was an honour for this Old Knight to fight with you both... and to watch you both work together in the name of the Republic In response to the High Commander-Duke's call to clear Dale of the monsters rampaging there... I also move with my company for Dale, following Senator Molly's path along the roads between Salta-Dale. It was also reported to me that it would take 17 hours... although for some reason my travel and military advisors said something strange like this to me... 

   Naismith 	Salta 	Ser Naismith's Old Reliables
   -7 hours (+17 to Dale) / 9 (+325) gold 	travelling 	[D 2 L] 23 men, Archers

While I may be elderly, and the fields of scholarly math not my calling or strength... I still find myself befuddled and confused when my advisors tell me this '-7 hours (+17 to Dale)' information... I cannot understand if they are saying I have 7 hours in the day left, and so because it will take a total of 17 hours to reach Dale, the calculations should be 17 - 7 = 10... meaning when the sun rises in two hours from this letter... I will be 10 hours away from Dale at that point...? Or are they telling me I need to do 7 + 17 = 24 hours to reach Dale?! Nevertheless... I shall be following Senator Molly's force as closely as possible... perhaps that will be the only way I can arrive in time... darn travel advisors spouting nonsense to my old eyes... I must also thank Sir Dominic of House Rea, for a substantial transfer of gold to this Old Knight... he has provided enough that my force can stay in the field for quite a few weeks, if not at least a month and more. As Senator Solomon travels for Sirion City, the discussion and movement of other Senators to re-arrange the Duchies... and the oaths they hold, as Lord Speaker Ivo, Sir Dominic and High Commander Lorenzo have touched upon, are interesting points to consider... but I have little experience in those matters at the high political level... and leave that discussion for others of you more suited and capable of debate than I... but safe travels all the same to Senator Leofric Kubo, Senator Brock Ketchum, and High Arbiter Lerriana Leather and High Commander Lorenzo as you make the journey... Also take note of the scout reports from Senator Molly from a few days ago concerning two Horsemaster Eponllyn regions bordering Salta... Oberndorf and Gadlock... there are present regional lords in each region, Lord Graive with 40-strong Special Forces, and Lord Ivan with 25-strong Infantry. Both appearing as they are indicate a quiet routine of regional maintenance at this time... though who knows if they are are sending scouts into our regions as we are to them... Ashforth City does remain empty still, as the Senator alluded to. Attached to this letter are recent scout reports of Salta and Dale, showing monsters numbering 20-strong currently holding in Dale. Additional forces may once again be of great relief to those of us already upon the winter roads and heading to Dale... it would be a most welcome sight to see more Sirionite banners if any in the surrounding regions of Dale believe they can also make the travels to join Senator Molly and I for battle against the Monsters there... As for the Caligus letter which High Commander Lorenzo shared... most interesting... but perplexing too... is this endorsed by Caligus' ruler? Will Sirion be answering?

Signed,

Milords...

... I do not know why the rumours state that Undead are still at large in Salta... as you can see from the scout report attached... there are none left roaming the region, and none at large to be fearful of, nor pose a threat to the common-folk and citizens here... do know that Senator Molly, and myself are leaving Salta after having thoroughly dealt with the Undead after Sir Periurium's help in securing the region... be wary of other reports from across the Republic stating such things as rogue monsters or undead still rampaging about the region, especially if a battle has been reported just before... it has caused me to stay in a region one too many times thinking there was still another battle to be fought, but it turns out there were no Undead at large at all to be found... it may save you a day or two of travels instead of waiting in a region for a battle to finished off monsters or undead that do not exist...

Signed,

It is good to see you survived... and the battle report shows dedication and discipline among your troops... your force would be one to fear on the battlefield as well... should war ever come to Sirion again...

Anarionath is a duchy of some importance to our history. Sir Temple, its seat, is the birthplace of Elvendom on this continent. Sir Temple was the first capital of Sirion and the site of the First Temple of the Elves. It is the most Holy place to our culture.

If at some point in the future we can take the region of Rollbar, which has a decent gold income, then all regions in the duchy will be linked. Not likely in the near future, but we can wish.

Sir Dominic,

How can you prioritize the Nivemus capital (wherever that is) over the heartland of Sirion? You seem more concerned with resurrecting Nivemus than with the traditional strength of Sirion which is its heartland.

Abandon this dangerous idea. I am the Duke of Anarionath and have sworn oaths to protect it. I will not allow it to be abandoned.

If you want to take a particular region then there are at least two poor regions we can abandon, Dale and Obando. Every single region in Anarionath is much better than those two regions. If you have a problem with that assessment then you don't care about facts.

I prioritize Sirion City, as it is our historical capital, and I prioritize regions that aren't in the middle of nowhere, far away from the rest of the nobility on the island. Making the realm look like swiss cheese is also a very poor choice, as we struggle to hold regions when they are far apart for a multitude of reasons. You are the one not caring about facts, just some dusty tomes in someone's basement...and even then, Sir temple has an equal (or lesser even) weight with regards to our shared realm history to Ashforth, so even that is a completely irrelevant talking point.

You can have your damn titles if they are so painfully important to you, no one is saying you can't. It's that it is stupid to have those titles in the lands that we shouldn't be holding when there are perfectly good lands available right here.

Report from Rearden Arylon Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-09 09:32:47

Quickly I would like to weigh in as the former long time Lord of Sir Temple. There was some talk of abandoning her in the past when I took the city on, but we chose to keep it. The main reason people felt we should keep it was the infrastructure and recruitment centers that were there. That was not an illogical concern.

That said, though, I am one of the voices that is in favor of moving toward contiguous borders. Ashforth has slightly more gold than Sir Temple and is in a strategically important location, and would nicely add to our contiguous borders. It would not immediately be productive, but its population is actually fairly good right now, and when I was briefly lord there, I actually invested a LOT of my gold in the local economy. So it is probably in pretty good shape.

Regarding cultural history and what not, I do not consider those to be real arguments either in favor or in opposition to EITHER of these locations, whether it is Sirion's historical ownership of the Temple or Nivemus's capital being Ashforth. If you have a long enough memory and a knowledge of history, virtually all northern cities and rural communities are "historically ours" and all of them have been at various times under our banner, or sometimes in the control of rogues, or perhaps even enemies. Sirion's history can not be a prison to lock ourselves into... we need to make rational decisions for today based on the current geopolitical environment. Sir Temple is no less important to Sirion if we were to withdraw from the city than if we were to keep it. Ashforth would just be more important to us in comparison, if we were to make that decision.

And my opinion is that we should. Ashforth is more valuable to us, and more useful to us than is the Temple. Importantly, our firm western wall of regions also means that no one is going to realistically "sneak behind" us to take it. If they somehow did, we could respond quickly and easily.

In addition to this, I would like to address one thing regarding duchies as well.

I would like to see one region (at least) from the Duchy of Osmeneliath shift to the Duchy of Oroya, for two main reasons: first the reasonable spread of regions across our duchies in general. Osmeneliath has 5, and I have only 2... having one move over would give Osmeneliath 4 and Oroya 3. Still uneven, but much closer and would make the whole realm much more equal.

Secondly is income. Oroya city is still not giving me much in the way of gold and my personal gold reserves are nearly gone. I can keep subsidizing myself for a little while, but income is important, and any opportunity to get more (as Duke) would be helpful.

Defender Victory! Report from Lorenzo Falconi Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-09 13:34:14

Realm,

Regarding Sir Temple. First thing to say is that it is my region, and my duchy, and I take my duties very seriously to my people, Lords and Commoners alike. Moreover the cultural significance of the region is priceless to a man like me who values culture. If Sir Temple is given up without overwhelmingly good reasons, I will consider it a betrayal of Anarionath by the realm and I will be leaving Sirion.

Secondly this argument Sir Rearden has set up about Sir Temple vs Ashforth, is a straw man... a fake argument to justify abandoning Sir Temple. We can easily keep both regions by abandoning a bad rural region instead. Either Obando or Dale are prime candidates for abandonment, two regions so poor that we haven't even bothered to appoint a Lord for them.

Now to Sir Reardens prejudice about only keeping Contiguous regions ie only those regions joined up to the rest of the realm. It is dangerous nonsense that if applied would fatally weaken the realm.. The whole of Anarionath Duchy plus Avamar is non contiguous. To follow Sir Rearden's logic we would have to abandon at least 4 out of 5 of these excellent regions. The idea is as mad as anything! These regions are under total control and present no difficulty in administration. They provide food and wealth and strategic depth that Sirion has always relied upon in times of war. Plus if we abandon them it will create a bigger vacuum in the north enticing other realms to have a go.

As a military man I cannot emphasize how bad Sir Reardens ideas are strategically. If we start abandoning non contiguous regions we abandon the north and those things that have kept us safe throughout the ages. Our position holding the north with no rivals behind us, our strategic depth, some of our best regions. Why this knight thinks these ideas are good I cannot fathom. No enemy throughout the ages has ever been as dangerous to Sirion as these bad ideas.

For Sirion!


Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Duke of Anarionath Governor of Sir Temple

Report from Rearden Arylon Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-09 14:08:29

I'm a patient man, High Commander, but I must admit to being long since tired of your lectures to us being justified by your being a "military man."

My family has among the known world's most accomplished military backgrounds, with a long list of strategists and commanders that have led armies and won wars going back to the now-drowned continent of Atamara. I personally resent the constant implication that you, more than anyone else, understand military strategy and that the rest of us are mewling children who know nothing of war and conflict. I furthermore resent the implication that disagreeing with you -- as you and I frequently have over the issue of milita, and other issues -- is some kind of dispute between someone who knows the military, and someone who doesn't. I would match my tactical knowledge with any soul alive.

I will remind you that I am the last man who led Sirion into and then out of war in my service as Lord Speaker. I take your comment about how "bad" my ideas are strategically as a personal insult, and one so aggravating that I am tempted to cross swords over it, though I have yet to find anyone in this realm or beyond that can match my swordsmanship, so my likely victory would not bring me much satisfaction.

More to the point, though, I would like you to stop making gigantic leaps of inference and telling the people of this realm that I said something, when I said nothing of the kind.

For instance, my exact words were that I favored "moving toward contiguous borders." I did not call for an entirely contiguous realm... if I did then I would have to advocate for the loss of Tallbar too... but given Tallbar's incredible food production that would be disastrous for us. What I favor -- and pay attention to this so that you don't continue to misrepresent what I say -- is that we have a mindfulness to the importance of being as contiguous as possible. When presented the choice between holding either Sir Temple or Ashforth, given the near-identical nature of the two (with Ashforth being slightly better on gold), the benefit of making the realm more contiguous was a positive argument in favor of shifting to Ashforth.

And while I'm listing my grievences, if you ever accuse me of making a "fake argument" again, I will personally ride to Sir Temple and cut your head off myself. Such an insult is beyond my tolerance and I will not stand for it. And for the record, I am not "this Knight," as though I am some young, anonymous sellsword. I am the former Lord Speaker of Sirion, and currently both a Duke and a Governor. If you are going to lie and misrepresent what I say, the least you could do is show an ounce of respect for the blood I have shed for this realm.

Back to your absurd statement, you act like I have some kind of burning desire to offload Sir Temple, entirely ignoring the fact that I was its previous Governor, Falconi. Much of the infrastructure of the city is my doing. I loved my estate there, and deeply cherish its people. I have no interest or intention of "justifying" anything, I was simply weighing in on the debate about what we are to do, and where we are to go. If my perspective doesn't win out, I have no intention of throwing a temper tantrum or rage-quitting my realm as you seem to intend.

Incidentally, speaking of fake arguments, you created an entire scenario which is not only not recommended by me, but also a complete misrepresentation of what would happen anyway. If we abandoned some non-contiguous regions, for instance, we could theoretically take some current rogue regions and MAKE places like Avamar contiguous. It is not a choice of "abandoning 4 our of 5" of our regions... and anyway, I was not referencing all non-contiguous regions anyway, as I've already made clear.

The one worthwhile thing you said in that screed, Lord Commander, is that there may be other options that would prevent us from having to choose between the Temple and Ashforth. That is true, though Obando and Dale do have value as well, and blithely dismissing them as expendable without weighing the relative pros and cons of the various regions is foolhearty.

My last word: Republics can only function if the nobility is able to think and speak freely as to their opinions . You all know me, I have never insulted anyone in this realm, even when provoked, and my last message to the realm was reasonable and honest. The Lord Commander's was neither.

If we are to debate the merits of ideas, let us act like mature adults as we do so.

High Commander Lorenzo,

It is shocking to hear you state - if you overwhelmingly disagree with the Realm's decision that you would abandon your oaths and duty. Your duty is first to Sirion not commoners or Lords - instead their duty is to serve you. We sacrifice Lord and commoners in service of Sirion - not the other way around. Regardless, your Lords and knights will not leave so you would abandon them as well. Let us have discussion without ultimatums. I ask and encourage you to retract your statement.

Sirion must be stronger to defend itself. The region change is based in survival and defense. You yourself have said Ashforth would serve to provide an excellent defense to our Southern border.

Sir Naismith,

Letter from Brock Ketchum Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-09 18:46:22

Nobles of Sirion,

Interesting discussion. I think we should find some common grounds first before we move on towards the difference.

First thing that we can be in agreement on. It has been known that many rogue regions surrounding our region can cause rogue attack. When rogue attack happens, either we station militia which caused drain in our food productivity or we station the region lord which caused Sirion military strength to decrease in any frontline war. Or we do none of these two actions and let the rogue damage our rural region or drive it rogue which does not look like a region lord acceptable code of conduct.

Second thing that I am sure we all can agree upon. We all like cities or stronghold. City produces gold more. No matter Ashforth city, Oroya city or Sir Temple itself. However a city or stronghold requires food from rural region as it does not feed itself. Usually it is an ideal situation if we have 3 rural regions to feed 1 city. While I do not possess data on our food situation, this will have to be provided by our good dependable Banker.

In a conclusion, we need balance our good need(city) and our food need(rural). Do we wish to see ourselves having to buy food from abroad, from another foreign realm just because we cant feed our own cities?

Brock Ketchum Senator of Hillmar

Letter from Naismith Willarc (Personal message to Molly Prestongreen) - 2023-02-09 20:46:45

Senator Molly,

Many thanks for your letter and kindness, my company saw yours packing up camp and belongings and moving for the Obando roadways early on, and I realized I need to access the banks to refill my purse with coin to pay the company. I quickly sent word to follow suit and try to catch up with your travelling group so that we might share safeyy in numbers if any rouges attempt ambush upon us like they did Senator Brock.

I had been planning on moving through Obando to Oroya City as well, and am pleased our paths and plans aligned, although at the time the only information I had was a Salta scout report confirming you were heading for Obando.

As for stories, we shall see if I have any to spare... at the moment as you can tell, there is much catching up to in regards to the realm debate, of heated nature... concerning which regions the Republic should claim... and now a referendum is being held...

... I will tell you this.. since the arrival and rekindled activity from Sir Dominic Rea, and High Commander Lorenzo in the last few years... I have not seen debate of this intensity for some years... not since the days perhaps more nobles dwelled on the East Continent, it is a sign of possible healthly engagement of the Realm, but we have to wait and see what unfolds next...

...at least, perhaps this path is better than fading away into obscurity as our noble count previously was dropping, and missives and discussions in the realm were more forlorn and long gaps in between the sparks of active voices over whatever topic it was to debate about...

I think I see your company upon the roads just ahead, I hope to catch up soon. Assume by the tike we reached Oroya City's walls, this Old Knight will have treated you to a few stories, and a good meal for your wounded and company of soldiers. Your troops fought well, and suffered injuries I only wish we could have avoided.

Thank you for your continued vigilance and engagement with the world we share... and the Realm we call home. I have been most warmed to see your letters, and swift response to undead and monster threats. It is one reason why I have enjoyed being stationed here in the northwest parts of the Republic the last few weeks... you and a few others, have constantly shown to be adept at timing movements and being aware of the surroundings to arrive to battles together with other Republican forces.

Warm regards,

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Letter from Razo Carmel Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-10 20:19:56


I just wish to respond to Senator Brock's very useful letter and provide my take of what I think of Sirion's food balance, now and future.

Sirion is food rich; second to Caligus but that is only because our recent lengthy drought was not also effected in the same way by Caligus.

The figures I now keep you are based on summer data which also happens to be the realm's annual average. I have rounded them and adjusted populations to simulate full restoration.

On that basis the realm's net supply is 190 bushels per day, made up of a surplus of 265 bushels and a deficit of 75 bushels.

As expected most of the surplus comes from the four top rural regions and any two of those fully satisfy the total deficit. Our individual city supply needs are quite spread with the largest daily deficit of 40 bushels belonging to Parm while in contrast Sir Temple actually enjoys a daily surplus of 5 busheels. By comparison Ashford would have a net daily deficit of 13 bushels which is not signifiant compared to the total realm supply.

I conclude that our food supply is safe as long as we at least maintain our current rural regions and are not visited by too many unusually long droughts like we have just had.

I hope this has been useful. I am always happy to discuss the food system I use with anyone who will listen.

Letter from Brian M. Cameron Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-11 09:20:20

I have just noticed the expansion and shrinking of some realms. Caligus now borders. I considered them a friend when I was Lord Commander I am not sure if they have changed their tune much, but I know we have one of their nobles here speaking of RC reform. That can be good; though my initial thought was why on earth are we giving away the structure of our military away.

As to Senator Solomon's point about nobles I agree that our main focus should always be to increase our noble count. To touch on his referendum I saw no issue with the Senator beginning the Referendum it forces no hand it is simply a poll to see how the realm feels about a certain topic. If we are to gain another noble Ashforth would for sure be a good acquisition as long as it does not infringe on the previous agreement we had with Eppollyn.

Something I also noticed is that no realm has an ally this has changed only slightly since I last looked where Shadowdale and Eppollyn were the sole allies; seems there could be some tension between the two since we gave up Ashforth as suspected might happen.

I will stop here to not bore you all with any more of my thoughts.

Senator Brian,

Excellent observations. Due to your letter I had my scribes provide me reports. Eponllyn has lost 8 nobles over the last 3 months. They have been forced to shrink their Realm's size as a result. According ot the reports, Eponllyn cannot capture more regions. Therefore, Eponllyn is limited in its war capacity - a war with them would mean no concern of our regions being taken over. Based on their makeup of regions, I expect they could not feed Ashforth when they could no longer retain all of their rurals.

The other Realms have had a momentary increases or decreases of nobles, but have remained fairly stable. Sirion has been the most stable in nobles which is a testament of greatness to its nobles.

I'm in Sirion City with a handful of others. I do not know exactly what information was shared before I arrived, but since I have arrived our discussion has been military theory and information that is widely available. I share your concern about sharing too much information.

Regards,

Solomon Steele Senator of Tabost Marshal of the Lyanna's Wrath

Milords,

Forgive my lack of participation in the other discussions ongoing within the Republic, my health has fallen ill and I can only manage a few basic actions at this time each day. I muster the strength to temporarily inform you of the Undead Horde, numbering roughly 100... that have infested Ashforth City. Senator Molly, Sir Vandryn, and myself are stationed in Salta. Several scout reports attached for your inspection.

I will remain encamped here in Salta over the next days as I attempt to recover my health and mind, and provide routine scout reports and have them copied to all of you in the Realm where I can. My apologies for not engaging with the current Realm discourse on several topics, again. I believe you all to have contributed greatly with your engagement, letters, debates, even if heated in some circles, to the overall health of Sirion, and the future we may hold -- not as a dying Realm where silence reigns supreme, and nobles fade away into obscurity -- but as a Realm that has re-lit the early candles of the Ancient Republic we once were, where our nobility across all stations begin to contribute more their voices on matters of state and the world we all dwell in.

You have an Old Knight's thanks for giving hope and light to a new chapter for Sirion, and whether the regions we choose to gain or lose come to pass, or War with the Horsemasters or some other Realm -- many of you have proven to be loyal and steadfast in your own ways to helping keep the Republic alive.

Report from Solomon Steele Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-13 00:33:52

Fellows,

In Sirion city we have discussed the below two battles. Eponllyn has used cavalry to great affect. Cavalry do not suffer the problems due to the weather as archers do and therefore are more reliable. Cavalry are only poor in attacks on fortifications. By my count we have plenty of nobles who could afford 90 cavalry, matching Eponllyn's calvary force in the below Battle in Troyes. I indicated, but did not lie, to our guest that we could not afford that cavalry. I did this to obfuscate our capabilities.

Our other discussion has been about the Astrum special. An army made up of mixed infantry, archers and special forces. That army will not struggle with fortifications, but can be run down by a heavy opposing cavalry force.

We recognize every noble has a right to choose their troops. We can explain our strategy, ask and have the right RCs for our strategy.

I have no doubt the Horsemasters have used magic in some attempt at the old adage about 'if we can't have it nobody can'. Instead they have only given us a good target to practice our army line-up on. I think even High Commander Lorenzo can agree on the very simple premise that 200 undead on our borders is a security threat and needs to be dealt with.

Lord Solomon,

What cavalry do we have in the realm? I'm talking about useful cavalry with good stats. In what quantities? You should be able to see it all in Sirion city.

We have one cavalry RC. Elric's Vestal Virgins out of Parm has almost perfect cavalry. My scribes show 160/20 available for recruitment. I don't recall seeing that before.

We don't have the money to support cav unless you plan to actually do some semblance of anything I say. We'd need to actually fight the Horsemasters for Oligarch, and unless you've changed your mind about clinging to Sir Temple like your titles depend on it, we won't be able to take the more richer regions to the south.

Ser Naismith's Old Reliables, also hailing from Parm, show 143/25 as well. I wonder if the Lord Speaker is hosting the party of the century? You would think that the scribes would be sober while counting, but perhaps not.

Sir Solomon,

So the only decent cavalry center we have is in Parm. The solution is obvious. Sirion city and Avamar city have only three RCs each so the cost of building another RC will be not be too high for those cities. The Lords of those two cities could concentrate on producing one good cavalry RC each. If successful, we would triple our cavalry production.

I assume that if we try this we are only interested in good RCs. what would you say was a minimum requirement? 70/70/70 ?

High Commander Lorenzo,

If we were to pursue a more cavalry heavy army we would tear down RCs first. That requires a discussion, a plan and agreement. However, we must immediately freeze building more RCs.

Cities should only build the high quality RCs, while rural and townsland regions should create the other RCs. In this way, once we get the rare good high quality RC we can expand it to the largest possible size. We do not need size 4 RCs in the cities of low quality RCs, if the rurals we'll always keep behind the front lines provide those troops. RCs increase in cost as you build more - by spreading the RCs around we reduce the total cost of a RC renovation.

Regards,

Solomon Steele Senator of Tabost Marshal of the Lyanna's Wrath

Report from Lorenzo Falconi Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-13 19:19:19

Senator Solomon,

I have some observations to make. Please give them careful consideration because its not a simple matter. These are far reaching and expensive investments and we must be careful of not causing more damage than benefit.

1. Sirion knights do not tend to choose cavalry because most of our fighting is against rogue and we tend to optimize with ranged troops to fight rogue. Lets say that some knights choose cavalry to fight a human war. We will still only have say three knights willing and able to field large cavalry units, so we are looking at a total build of say three level 4 cavalry RCs. So we already have one such RC, I judge that two more are enough for our needs.

2. I am against destroying existing RCs in our cities because everyone knows that producing good RCs was easier in the old days. That is why we have a lot of good ancient RCs. The time and effort to replace them would be very high and we might not even get good replacements because nowadays if you already have existing good RCs the new ones tend to be lower quality. It's a gamble I think unnecessary.

3. Also the existing RCs we have in cities are more useful than you might think. Take for example Avamar, it has three mediocre RCs, but its an isolated forward city and they are pretty useful if you need to put up a lot of reasonably priced militia in a hurry. I wouldn't want Avamar to lose them.

4. Building a new cavalry RC in Sirion or Avamar is not that expensive. Because they only have three RCs each. Even my region of Sir Temple which has 4 RCs, the cost of a cavalry RC is only 625 gold which is very affordable. In Sirion and Avamar it will be even cheaper. Once the first level of an RC is built the cost does not go up due to the number of RCs I think, so we won't get any benefit for levels 2, 3 and 4 by destroying existing RCs, and that's the most expensive part, especially level 4.

In summary, we should not destroy existing RCs, we should instead build two new cavalry RCs, one in Avamar and one or even two in Sirion city. The only question in my mind is how good do we want those RCs to be? What are the minimum stats required?

Respects

Realm,

Is Sir Dominic correct? Are the nobles gathered in Sirion city incapable or unwilling to forward messages? Or even to pass on contact details? What a sorry state of affairs if true. I don't see how we can fight a war if we can't even pass on messages.

Very well, since no one seems to be able to forward messages I will depart Sir Temple and physically travel to Sirion city to take part in the discussions. What a sorry state of affairs.

Horses are vital so we cant rely on a single city to provide them, so i agree, we need one new top quality cavalry RC in Sirion and Avamar as they are our two bastion cities.

Quality? It will depend, 70 on weapons should be the minimum standard.

News from Salta - Undead Horde invading from Ashforth City

The shambling horde of undead seen roaming Ashforth City's bounds have been spotted on the move towards the borders of Salta. Scout reports are attached of Ashforth, Salta, and a few other regions surrounding the area. The horde numbers 90-strong in undead creatures, Senator Molly, and Sir Vandryn along with Sir Naismith currently stand guard in Salta, numbering approximately 85-90 strong in force. Reinforcements from nearby regions may arrive too late now for the initial battle to come, but might still be of help should there be a second battle. More forces would likely reduce casualties, but scout reports arrived too late to inform other nobility in time.

It has been pointed out to me, that i could be helping by claiming the lordship of Trinbar, and still holding Parm. I think that Trinbar could be holded with militia while i can remain protecting Parm from within the walls and moving in and out of Trinbar to perform mantainance work.


I have commited myself to restore this city so i would like your point of view on this matter.

Milords,

Sir Periurium arrived to Salta and with the extra strength Senator Molly, and Sir Vandryn held with their forces, the Undead Horde was defeated with very few casualties and wounded on the Republic side -- a heart-warming result compared to the more grim predictions I had worried about... thank you Sir Periurium for coming to our aid, I have no doubt your assistance did wonders for reducing severe fatalities.

Battle report attached.

It will take my company 17 hours to reach Dale, and there are only 10 hours left today... but I move nonetheless from Salta to Dale, to prepare for the order to march upon the Undead Horde forming this moment in Tabost. Safe travels, and know that I support Sir Jay II, the Steward of Parm, whom has proven dedicated service to rebuilding the City alongside Lord Speaker Ivo's efforts. To become the Lord of Trinbar, would not be unwelcome to my own eyes and heart...

Scout reports of Ashforth City show no more Undead roaming there... but Tabost has a force of 100-strong Undead creatures. Sermbar remains empty and there should be no surprises from that direction.

Understood, departing Dale for Tabost, and delaying arrival until Sunset of tomorrow... I hope you and Senator Solomon did not suffer too many losses from the Undead... quite rude of them to land upon your forces without a dinner invitation...

And in light of the news, most welcome, of Senator Jay II's appointment to Trinbar's lordship, I also agree... that with these numbers of Undead in the last few days... even I must doubt whether this was innocent coincidence or an action undertaken on purpose by some who may seek to deny Ashforth City to others... or at least delay or buy time for their own plans (or forces)... to rally...

Milords,

The undead presence in Tabost is being put to rest, and the remaining ones are indeed falling apart. The battle was a success, with two volleys of arrows from all companies and their troop leaders wiping out the attack before they reached the Sirionite lines. There will be some opportunity to investigate the battlefield and make sure the undead bodies have been destroyed utterly... but for the most part the region is clear, and a warm congratulations to all the banners of Sirion folk whom made the effort to secure the Tabost Badlands.

Battle report and several scout reports of surrounding regions attached. Ashforth City remains empty, as does Oberndorf (held by Eponllyn) except for it's militia unit there. Commonyr (held by Shadowdale) also has militia but also it's regional lord, the noble named Koloyok Sethar... likely overseeing and tending to his holdings... this is the same noble whom was from Yssrgard, along with his like-minded companion whom went by Sean Dixon. They both have a reputation for... stirring up incidents across the East Continent, some say they brought the destruction of Yssrgard through actions when they were in government office there...

Milords,

For archival and record-keeping purposes, would anyone be able to provide an Old Knight some form of list concerning the current names and statistical details of any RCs (Recruitment Centers) that plan to be destroyed and torn down? Or perhaps even a drawing (some of my scribes say a strange word apprently while at the taverns called 'screenshot').

I do support the initiative to update Sirion's military infrastructure, but I do have an old soft spot for history and culture and lore in some ways similar to High Commander Lorenzo. There are stories within the names and statistical listings of our current centers, and the regions they hail from.

I shall also try to go through old letters, as I think some sort of list was reported before, and I will attempt to travel to Sirion City now from Tabost, after the successful joint effort to clear the undead rogue threat here. But should any tearing down of centres occur before I reach the capitol, any whom might spare a moment to have their scribes record down the list of centers right before we demolish the first one would be greatly appreciated by this elderly and sentimental old soul...

Perleone has taken control of Xavax. The region used to belong to (rogue). Report from Dominic Rea Message sent to all nobles of Sirion (17 recipients) - 2023-02-18 14:46:38

The guidelines are going back and forth, and have largely stalled without your input. The general summary is that most centers will have to be tore down and replaced with the sort of general composition we want our army to have, and that the centers we do build should be of a very high quality to start, and to keep those centers within the Cities. We are, in general focusing on countering the apparently once again heavy Calvary of the Horsemasters. However, without the General being here, we can not continue discussion, as several decisions have to be made before we can move forward. Which is why I urge you to trust in your fellow nobles to defend the realm, instead of travelling sideways to witness every rogue battle yourself.

I must make this very, very clear: if the Horsemasters get any ideas about attacking us, we will fold immediately if you can't put trust in your own army. You can not be everywhere at once, and trying to do so will do nothing but cause wax burns on your fingers and sleepless nights on your horse. Leading isn't about being at the forefront of the charge: it's about being able to step back and see the bigger picture, to support and strategize with those below you to have the best overall result. Every single army on the island has a General and a Marshal position for that very reason: one noble focuses on the larger scale war, and the the other gets their hands muddy in the trenches with all the details. Some armies have tried to have the same noble do both, but it has always ended in dysfunction....at best. This same idea is how our very society works. We are ordained to lead above those that work the fields by blood, yes, but do we use our days to set the measurements between the seeds? In our class, do the region lords have to sit in their regions for days on end to worry about every little bureaucratic thing? That is what we have Courtiers for.

This here, is why you should have been in Sirion City days ago, High Commander. You are our highest level of military leadership, the man who is in change of working on the biggest picture. A single battle against rogue, or any single region in this realm are both lesser concerns for your position to the realm-wide concern of our RC situation. Delegate those things, High Commander. Empower your nobles, trust them, not burn yourself out running all over the place.

Duke Lorenzo I am not in favor of building a Calvary center in my city. Personally I think Calvary is pricier then infantry and archers. And it would take a rich noble to be able to recruit and keep a Calvary unit in my mind. Plus how many nobles would want to have a Calvary unit in the first place? If there is not much of an appetite for nobles to recruit those types of units then to me it is folly to make more then one.

I say give the nobles a choice by having one they can recruit from and make it the biggest center it can be. But Calvary is only good in combat. They are not good for militia or PW so they are less versatile then other units.

Duke Lorenzo, I tend to agree with High Arbiter Lady Lerriana with regard to the building of more Calvary RCs. While it is true that Sirion has only one Calvary RC, there are only two Centers which have more expensive recruits; both are ranged Special Forces. There already are some RCs which have excellent numbers in all categories from which our nobles can choose from. To me, a better plan would be to increase the size of the best of these RCs so the availability of quality units can be utilized by all of our nobility depending on the funds available to them. Best regards,

Creating Calvary RCs is premature, since we have not agreed on a strategy or plan.

If we did want to emphasize Calvary RCs one RC that has been enlarged is not nearly enough. Large Calvary RCs gain recruits very slowly. We would need more RCs to keep up with the demand for cavalry. I have seen 3 special forces RCs being unable to keep up with moderate demand for special forces in peacetime due to each RC only gaining 2 recruits per day.

Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach,

Greetings. I am Duke Lorenzo, High Commander (General) of Sirion. I have been away from Sirion city fighting rogue in the north and the west.But now I have returned and would hear your expert opinion on the state of our recruitment centers.

So could you please give me a summary of your findings, and what strategies we could employ to improve our fighting tactics. I am in particular intrigued by Astrum layered defense, but I welcome all your ideas.

Respects

Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Duke of Anarionath Governor of Sir Temple

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients) - 2023-02-19 04:44:05

Greetings, Commander Falconi,

Looks like you already got some of my letters. If you are interested in Astrum's mighty layered ranged walls, your priority would be to focus on getting three types of RCs.

Archer, Ranged SF and MIs. Among those, both archers and MIs will work as the backbone of your army. The ranged R5 RCs will be nice to have but those are not as important for Sirion since Sirion seems to lack the funds to run them effectively.

I'd suggest focusing on aiming for high quality archer and MI RCs first. Since your realm already has RCs with 100, you are unlikely to get any additional RCs with 100 on them. Of course there is still a chance but your chance of getting one will be very low.

Also, while the Astrum's army format is quite powerful and is known to be one of the most cost efficient ones, it has never been tested against a realm such as Eponllyn. As you may know, most realms on Dwilight can't run cavalry RCs since they need to focus on fighting rogues. And rogues are very good against cavalry units as they are not as weak and soft as us humans. To survive their cavalry units, you will definitely need to focus more on your MI RCs defense stats.

Eisenritter Felsenbach Knight of Fontan

Report from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients) - 2023-02-19 04:45:50

Personally, I think it might be better to purely focus on MI RCs only. You will certainly be lacking a bit of range but nothing having more MIs can't handle. MI units aren't afraid to engage enemies in melee and you won't have to bother much about them panicking over not having an infantry unit to prevent them from advancing forward.

Eisenritter Felsenbach Knight of Fontan

Letter from Lorenzo Falconi Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients) - 2023-02-19 09:32:44

Sir Eisenritter,

ok, So here is a proposed formation using your Astrum layered ranged army.

Have I understood correctly? Can it be improved? Please tell me what you think:

Range 3 MI - Middle box defensive Range 4 SF & Range 4 Archers - Back line defensive Range 5 SF - Rearguard Skirmish Defensive Infantry - Rearguard Line Normal Cavalry - Rearguard Aggressive wedge

For reference I believe we have some excellent ranged 4 SF but rather poor ranged 5 SF.

I've had a good look at the RCs in the realm. Its not very impressive. Here are the production figures for good useful troops:

Infantry - About 600 good infantry.

Archers - About 300 good ranged 4 archers

MI - About 300 good ranged 3 MI

Ranged SF - 120 excellent but only range 4 SF.

Cavalry - About 20 excellent cavalry from a small damaged RC

Its a largely infantry base. We are far away from being able to create a cavalry army. If we want to allow nobles to convert infantry to MI then we need to provide more and better MI RCs. Also Ranged 5 SF need to be built.

Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Duke of Anarionath Governor of Sir Temple

Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (6 recipients) - 2023-02-19 20:03:22

If you have too many high quality infantry RCs, you may have to demolish them to increase your chances of getting good MIs. Otherwise, you will be betting on less than a percent chance to get a good one. If you have less than a percent chance to get it you will be spending a lot more gold and time to get one.

It would be cheaper to demolish the existing infantry RCs and focus on getting good MIs. Also, from the report I got, Sirion has too many RCs in Trinbar for no reason.

Yes but Trinbar has our best archer and MI RCs, all expanded to size 3. Its an invaluable resource. Also its right next to the capital so we can use it to reinforce Sirion militia if an enemy gets that close. I don't want to lose the excellent RCs in Trinbar. Its our cities that tend to have poor RCs. I don't know why.

I can get rid of a couple of high quality infantry RCs in Sir Temple up north, I just hesitate to destroy the work of decades.

Naismith Willarc was an elderly noble... though he remembered fondly the days past when other names echoed down the historical annals of his mind...

He grunted, as he moved with his small company of troops towards the districts where recruitment, refitting, equipment repairs, and banking services lay. Opening the latest letters from High Commander Lorenzo, and Sir Eisenritter, he mumbled the following...

"Harrumph... I better hope to have scribes record the list of recruitment centers Sirion currently has before any are torn down... it appears I may have arrived in time..."

He raised an old eyebrow and noted the comments from the House Felsenbach advisor...

Some scout reports from here in Sirion City, as I move to refit my troops and do some paperwork on other projects... all while Sir Eisenritter, the foreign advisors Sir Dominic has helped to see visit our realm, continues discussions with High Commander Lorenzo regarding the Republic's future Recruitment Centers, alongside what others in the realm have shared on the public channels. Your discussions have all been of interest and a sign of engagement towards the future capabilities Sirion may hold in conflicts that may arise down the road. My thanks again for reaching forth to write letters and messages that have no doubt helped the Sirion Military Command further lean towards a decision that hopefully will align with the Realm's interest and what you have all been voicing feedback upon...

On the scout reports, just be warned as a light advisory that we have around 50-strong Undead in Dolmbar, just east of Sirion City, and slightly north of the borders here. They are stationary at this time.

High Commander,

I don't understand your point regarding wanting to have RCs in Trinbar over Sirion. Why would you want to use Trinbar's RCs to fortify Sirion when you can just have RCs in Sirion to fortify the city? Also, they are level 3. You can't even expand them to level 4 which is twice as big as level 3.

It doesn't matter there are good RCs in Trinbar. You need to get rid of them and have them built in your cities. It is mathematically unwise to try for good RCs in your cities when you already have them in non-city regions. Unless of course you want to do this RC project for over 300~500 days.

Captain Max holding the parchments as he goes through.

“Many people are complaining about the high taxes. 12 bushels of food had to be burnt because they were found to be rotten.”

”Wait, what? Why people complain about high tax?” Brock inquires further.

Taking another scroll out, Captain Max replies “Apparently the neighbouring regions must have aet the tax rate too low compared to Hillmar.”

”That must be it. By the way, have you instructed guard to go through the food before decided the food is completely rotten?” Brock continues on.

Captain Max replies “Yes, my lord.”

”Look like we have to go through this winter with many food losses. There is food deficit today, there will be many such days to come. Order the guards to protect the warehouse at all cost. Rotate the guards by shift. Noone should walk alone while on guard duty” Brock instructs.

Written down Brock instruction, Captain Max nods as he replies “It will be done immediately.”

Milords,

My heart goes out to isolated regions that is Hillmar and Glinnar, in addition to Sir Temple, Tallbar and Avamar. While I appreciate and support the possibilities to... gain Ashforth City and make strong our borders into a solid line... as we move forward, let us not forget the potential effects of separation... take for example Glinmar and Hillmar... rumours abound that taxes in the (rogue?) regions nearby influence the morale and loyalty in the citizens that say, Senator Brock oversees.

Keep in mind also that... I believe Senator Brock has had to continue keeping to patrols and rogue threat operations and cannot contribute to larger military operations... his force and attention far exceeds my own... he was Kronogos of Nivemus once after all... and if I recall correctly, a safe land bridge between the Glinmar and Hillmar coastal regions say via Rowanglade may aid in reducing how much time he has to stay stuck in such an Endless patrol... he no doubt has to care for equipment damage to his company and must make the unsafe travels through rogue territory to reach Sirion City for refitting. The same as our nobility and Lords of Avamar City, Sir Temple, and Tallbar...

As Royal Duke Rearden once said... a contiguous realm would be preferred... but I also accept this may not be the case for some time... and there are bigger priorities to address... but still... keep in mind this as our Realm hopefully may draw more active nobles to our cause and banners... so that a time may come when we can claim more regions, and release older Red Dragons of Sirion onto the field... leave the quiet regional work and undead or monster hunting to stubborn souls like me .. .

Good day Sir Naismith. I understand you have been asking about the Realm's grain reserves? I can report that as of today the Chancellery's official statement has posted: 

   Total production: 140 bushels/day

   Total consumption: 383 bushels/day

   Total net: 243 bushel daily deficit

   Total storage: 12472 bushels

   The realm will run out of food in 51 days without extra imports.

I should point out that 51 days assumes we remain at the winter deficit given above; which is not true of course. In 51 days we will be enjoying our autumn bonanza of 737 daily surplus and having already had spring and summer surpluses, our granaries will be almost replenished ready for next winter. The report above is for today's average weather but even with a drought it would still be more accurate to say we will not run out of food.

As I have stated, we can deal with both Sir Temple and Tallbar by simply taking Ashforth and Obendorf: two regions we hold old claim over anyways. My old Lordship of Hillmar and the neighboring Gilnmar are more problematic to switch up, but I see no reason to worry about them so much, as war and opportunity will pull more nobles to us and we may be able to truly take some of the rogues between....that is, if we are willing to leave Sir Temple and Tallbar to the rogues at that time.

Honoured members of the guild,

Many of you will remember a few months ago when the Tormentor of Shadowdale - Sean Dixon was found to be attacking adventurers at random without cause or warning. When this came to light in the guild, after many in the guild openly said they were planning to end all relationships with Shadowdale while such a man remained. He swore that this was a misunderstanding and that such actions would not happen again unprovoked. As a landed member of the nobility, I took him at his word.

Well here we are a few months later... and Shadowdale is still an unsafe location for adventurers.

Beaten Up! (Personal message) - 2 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes ago

You are suddenly captured by a group of men and soon brought before Sean Dixon, Tormentor of Shadowdale, Earl of Greatbridge while you are in Krimml. He punches you hard, tossing you onto the ground, kicking your head, jumping up and down your abdomen like a monkey, but you can do nothing except whining and begging for mercy. After some good hours, he has finally gone, and you could feel something is broken about your body even only barely conscious. You are now wounded.

I was attacked, without warning, without a word being spoken, seemingly at random while walking the streets of Krimml. It seems Sean Dixon's word amounts to being worth nothing.

You sent your thugs to attack an unarmed woman in the street. You have proven that you have no honour. You have proven your word is nothing but lies. Your mere existence now actively harms the reputation of your own realm. You sir, are nothing but a coward.

To my clients and contacts in Shadowdale I apologize, but I can no longer do business in your realm while Sean Dixon remains.

Fellow Members,

It is about time that Sir Sean is removed from this guild, no member has ever been so harmful for the guild then this man has. It should be very clear for all of our members here not to do business with this man and stay very far away from him. This guild is designed for nobles to hire adventurers for repairs or buy their items, If some of our members abuse that trust and use the guild to harm and steal from venturers and nobles, our entire reputation is at stake. This man has stolen destroyed, tortured, killed and beaten his way through the East Continent and even left his own realms in shatters as he moved on to the next. What Shadowdale does with this man is up to them, but this guild should have taken action yesterday and not wait for more damage to be done tomorrow.

At this moment we have only one elder member of this guild, Lady Delphine, please take action and cleanse this guild of those that seek to harm it. This guild means very little if we let people like Sean harm its members and its reputation.

It has been made very clear to all my subjects that I expect adventurers to be left to their business within Shadowdale's borders and my patience now wears rather thin that I am again addressing an issue which I thought resolved.

I have asked Tormentor Sean to provide a full account of his actions and when the matter has been investigated I will judge accordingly. Until then I can only reiterate that wanton abuse of commoners is not a sign of nobility and those who indulge in such brutality cannot expect to earn respect by doing so.

Milords...

I am compelled by most of Sir Dominic says... though I still would regret having to abandon the history and lore of Sir Temple to rogues, we have already had to make significant sacrifices to other regions of the Republic also holding cherished history during times we reigned over and flew our banners over the regions... and Sir Dominic points out that should we at least be willing to part with the northern regions, the Hillmar and Glinmar regions might stand a chance to be reunited sooner to Sirion City...

But perhaps I might ask directly of the Senators and Lords of those regions themselves -- milords of Sir Temple - High Commander Lorenzo Falconi, Tallbar - Senator Tyr Erickson, Hillmar - Senator Brock Ketchum and Glinmar - Senator Leofric Kubo.... would you, milords, be willing at all... to becoming Lords of another region elsewhere in the Republic, the same title and responsibilities as Senator... but somewhere different... relocated as Sir Dominic suggests... should the decision to trade some, or all, of your regions at some point in the future... to manage more front-line regions closer to the borders with other Realms? Perhaps we can discuss the statistical benefits of production, gold, and food all we desire... but how do you Senators, the Lords of these Regions, feel about such a transfer of Lordship to another region? That may help inform the realm on how quickly a decision can be made to take future regions with the idea to abandon some of the other regions some of you may currently reign over... with the expectation you would still be granted another region to become Senator and Lord of.

I do believe High Commander Lorenzo has voice strong opposition to losing the cultural and historical significance of Sir Temple, but still... maybe there are other considerations to be had... abandoning regions may sound quite difficult to fathom... but there is truth that they mostly lay behind our front-line, and it is not like they shall be swallowed by a glacier and disappear from the continent forever... at least I hope never again should any Continent face that fate again.... and I am reassured by Real Astrologers of omens and portents that it will not ever happen again.... so if we can always reclaim them later again if our active noble numbers should rise higher... the region's history, cultural significance... even the description we have for the regions in the Republic Archives and information and census lists... will still be unchanged and present... I think....

Mistress Kryss has provided me with detailed testimony and I have requested that Lord Sean do likewise. When I've studied both I will be able to judge whether there has been wrongdoing. If there is a suitable punishment will be imposed, which in the case of abuse of a commoner is likely to be a compensation payment as this is the custom of Shadowdale.

Quite where the deflection is in this I am uncertain. Perhaps you mean that legal processes in general are a deflection?

Battle in Hillmar (Hillmar, 4 turns) Letter from Solomon Steele Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (7 recipients) - 2023-02-22 01:51:14


Back to our discussions. The Astrum special - army of mixed infantry, archers and special forces could certainly be devastating, but we need an answer for cavalry troops. As Sir Eisenritter stated, Eponllyn has chosen to field elite deadly cavalry and has yet to be matched on the battlefield.

In a defensive situation, using the Astrum special all units could dig in with mixed infantry in back with archers and special forces in rearguard. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the enemies archers as they will shoot the entire battle at their max range. This allows two charges of enemy cavalry in position middle before they hit our lines and puts the cavalry alone at point blank range. The question would be if we can withstand the last cavalry charge from those cavalry they put in back.

We could have 4 heavy cavalry units in rearguard. They would meet the enemy's infantry and first cavalry charge, who is weakened by missile fire, in our front and could stop the charge.

However, after we did that our enemy would put all their troops in front and overwhelm us.

Marshal Steele,

You can only dig in as a defender and you need to either own the region or run a TO.

It is a good idea to have your own cavalry units to counter but if enemies land their charges first, you will suffer the same.

You could choose to hire enough MIs to soak up the damage. If half of your nobles field MIs, you can probably deploy them in 2 rows to soak up the initial charge.

Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (7 recipients) - 2023-02-22 14:43:00

Marshal Steele,

I don't quite understand what you mean but cavalry will continue to move forward until they hit something. If both attackers and defenders move to the same row at the same time, it will be up to whoever moved to the row first. Unfortunately, units don't move all at the same time. Some units move ahead of others even in the same round. From the battles between Perleone and Alara, Perleone's cavalry untis always moved before Alara's for some reason which resulted in Perleone missing their charges all the time.

That is exactly what I'm referring to. Long has it been since I have seen many cavalry units in a large action. One of the drawbacks to the cavalry was when they would oddly miss their charge attacks. It would be very powerful to understand how we could make an enemy's cavalry miss their charge attacks.

Dear Sir Henry... of the St. Laurent Family,

Welcome to Sirion, as Sir Dominic Rea and Senator Brock Ketchum have done, I offer my greetings... you join the ranks of nobility here in the realm among seasoned folks whom have been around the East Continent for many years... and have stories to share from within their own families across other islands, continents, and lands.

There have been many far older than me... whom have seen wars and much more from the earliest days of history recorded... but now I have to call myself Old among their ranks, but still one of the youngest... perhaps... my heart lies with the maintaining of peace against the rogue monsters and undead that frequently infest the land, and arise from lairs, graveyards, and much worse -- to then cause havoc among the common-folk of the land, harming much in the process and endangering many innocent lives... I maintain membership in Guilds such as the Adventurer's Guild, and the Hunting & Swordfighting Guild, where folks often known as Adventurers render services in hunting down such foul creatures on their own... but must work with the nobility of the land for coin and safety.

Sirion itself, undergoes several interesting, and possible developments... with the help of those such as our Lord Speaker Ivo Mersault, the ruler of our realm, and many other voices of nobility whom hold great influence and history within Sirion, there are now options being explored to rebuild our military force and support structures, called Recruitment Centers, so that we can defend ourselves and march to end conflict should such a grim fate befalls our Ancient Republic of Sirion. Talk in recent months have also included the claiming of Ashforth City, a region and city towards the northwest parts of Sirion's lands, but that runs into land claims by the Horsemasters, or also known as the realm called Eponllyn... to our south lies Shadowdale', once an offshoot colony of [Realm:Sirion, but has over many years grown their own darker, and perhaps some may say... suspicious ways of culture and atmosphere.

In the last many years, Sirion has suffered greatly at the hands of fate, for many reasons... but in this last while, new voices mixed with the old have arisen to chart a tentative new future for our realm, one that involves one of engagement and participation from our nobility that hasn't been seen for some time, but only comes from passion and the spirit to want to see Sirion survive ordeals, and thrive to higher heights than we stand now.

Your adventure and life as a noble among peers has begun, and you have started in Sirion, the Ancient Republic of Sirion. Where you go from here, is up to you, and the world beckons for you to become part of history and join others like yourself in writing new chapters into the ongoing story that is life in these lands, and much more.

Signed,

Not sure of this RC thing. Seems to me that this is the situation:

Cons: 1. we have no range 5 SF RCs 2. we have just one RC of decent but not spectacular range 3 MI 3. we have just one badly damaged excellent cavalry RC in Parm. Might not be easy to expand until Parm recovers. 4. We have no buy in from and city Lords at this point on either destroying existing RCs or building new cavalry or MI RCs.

Pros: 1. We do have Oroya city as a blank slate. 2. I'm willing to destroy two good infantry RCs in my stronghold of Sir Temple and try for MI , Cav & range 5 RCs. 3. We can probably afford to destroy 3 good RCs in Trinbar in order to improve our odds, but I insist we keep an archer and an infantry RC in Trinbar.

I am somewhat skeptical about the risks involved, we'll be destroying at least 5 good RCs in the hope of creating a different force balance with no guarantees we will be better off. I don't think you'll get the city Lords to agree. Dukr Zadek is here, he's the Lord of Sirion city. What does he think.

We cannot go to war with only good archers and good infantry. We'll be defeated by a cavalry charge and/or our archers will be outranged. The battle report shows that Eponllyn, Caligus and Perdan are able to bring both ranged special forces with range 5 and cavalry.

We can put replacements for those RCs torn down in regions adjacent to the cities.

We have to tell the city Lords that we cannot defend their cities unless they complete these tasks.

High Commander,

If you can't convince the lords on doing what is right for the realm, you will be stuck with an outdated army which won't be able to compete with your most powerful neighbour.

I pray that Sirion's diplomats are better than its soldiers. That would be the only way to outcompete your potential enemies.

If you are just planning on destroying 5 RCs, I'd recommend just keeping them. It is quite clear that Sirion is not ready to fix its RC problems. The RC project can't be done with people only committing what they are willing to lose. It requires the cooperation from the entire realm. If you can't achieve that there is no point on trying.

It is quite unfortunate to see how short sighted Sirionites have become. Maybe the departure of the elves did more damage to the realm than I initially thought.

Sir Eisenritter Felsenbach,

[ooc: without knowing how the code works its hard to work out what is needed]

Lorenzo Falconi High Commander of Sirion Duke of Anarionath Governor of Sir Temple

Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to all nobles in Sirion (8 recipients) - 2023-02-23 16:29:12

High Commander,

It is up to you and Sirionites how extensive you want it to be. Sirion's problem is quite clear. Your realm lacks any vision when it comes down to what kind of army you want. I don't know why Sirion's military is still living in the past. Looks like Sirionites have been sleeping in their ancient forest. Unfortunatley for Sirion, the rest of the continent tries to outdo each other. Your neighbour Eponllyn is powerful because they were willing to risk more than you are willing to. Sirion still has RCs from its ancient times meaning Sirion's generals either never caught up with the changes or they never bothered to. In the past, Sirion could afford to get away with this by having more allies. It doesn't matter how effective one realm's army is when its enemies can bring three times as many troops. Those days are long gone. At most you can do is bring your one ally but Sirion does not even have that.

It is quite confusing to me why Sirion wants to remain so inefficient. Sirion no longer has walls once it protected its lands from the foreigners. Sirion's last war against Shadowdale went quite poorly despite Shadowdale's RCs not being that impressive either. But Shadowdale's RC types are still more diverse than that of Sirion. Sirion is mainly infantry and melee SFs. Most of its RCs are in Trinbar for some reason. It has RCs in places where it shouldn't be while having too focused on melee units. Is Sirion benchmarking Perdan? Perdan is known for its infantry units and it is one of the reasons why it struggles so much against Eponllyn. Perdan can't even fight Eponllyn without the walls of Bescanon and Altar of Flames. Unless you are hoping to stay in the north-east corner of the continent permanently, you will have to find a way to deal with Eponllyn. It is not my job to do that. It is yours. I am merely here to assist you in doing so but if the best you can do is giving me reasons why you can't do it, then I am not interested in helping a realm that refuses to help itself.

I would recommend destroying any RC which has any of its stat above 75. Of course the best solution is for Sirion to double in size overnight but the likelihood of that happening is less than the chance of elves coming back from whichever land they sailed to.

I will simplify what you need to do here. 1. Choose the types of RCs you want to focus on. I'd recommend only choosing 2 main ones to focus on. 3 at most. You need to learn to let go of the remaining 2 RC types. If I were you, I'd let go of infantry and one more. Ones you let go will be built later when you are done building RCs you need. Since you want to mimic Astrum's army, I'd suggest focusing on MIs and archers first before focusing on SFs.

2. Destroy RCs that have 75 or above in any of its stats.

3. Build in your cities first before building in other regions.

4. Expand main RCs to lv4 first.

I don't know why you are insisting on keeping RCs in Trinbar. I don't know which idiot built so many RCs there but he/she should be treated as a traitorous scum for wasting so much gold in a region which hardly benefits Sirion strategically. If you think RCs in Trinbar is going to protect Sirion City, then you should focus on actually having RCs in Sirion City first. Regions touching Trinbar are all poor except Sirion City and having RCs in Trinbar has no strategic value. You want RCs in non-city regions only when you need the region to supply militia units to regions connected to it. Trinbar is only connected to Tabost, Sermbar and Sirion. Both Tabost and Sermbar are poor and if Sirion is under attack, RCs in Trinbar won't do much. Not to mention having so many RCs decent quality RCs in Trinbar lowers your chance of getting those RCs in other regions. Average RCs are around 50 and below. Those don't affect your RC quality too much. You can keep those unless they are in your cities. If they are in your cities, they should be demolished for wasting a valuable space. Also, having more RCs in one region lowers your chance of getting good RCs in that region. So your best chance of getting a good RC will be when you have nothing.

Anyway, I have already said all I needed to say. At the end of the day, it is your call. If you don't mind commanding an infantry heavy army against Eponllyn, keep the RCs you have.

(ooc: nobody exactly knows how it works. It is not something that gets shared. But we all know more you have, less chance you get - more RCs which is considered good that is. It is also based on how the number of nobles you have. More nobles = more chances to get better RCs + more you can actually have. Also, Sirion's RCs are crap to begin with. No point on keeping most of them.)

yes, but no benefit in destroying the crap ones in the regions, they don't affect our chance of producing good ones and they provide RCs for the regions.

I'm going to have to: (1) identify and destroy many good rcs, (2) stop all the region Lords making more rcs (3) persuade all city & fortress lords to destroy non useful rcs and concentrate on ones we want.

Got to get buy in from most of the realm.

No. You won't get into the IR issue unless you tell them what to recruit. Also, you are fine telling people what to get as long as they are asking you what they should recruit when they can't decide.

Limiting their choices is a different matter entirely. Because it comes at a cost. If you only keep 1 cavalry around, you will see less people grabbing cavalry units. But it also kills diversity. But the game balance does not change often enough to promote diversity. It changes slowly enough to focus on the most favourable type and be dominant for years until it changes again. The game's balance only majorly changed once from Melee to Ranged.

As for keeping 4 good RCs, know that in return, you won't get good quality RCs for other types. So you will have to settle for less higher quality RCs of other types. High quality Infantry RCs are the easiest RCs to get. The hardest is Cavalry followed by MI and archer(Many archer RCs are good but extremely good ones are rather rare). High quality R5s are not as rare as some people believe them to be.

Sirionites,

Good luck to you all. I believe I have given all the advice I can give and will be heading back to Caligus to rest. If you need my help, you know how to contact me.

Sir Eisenritter,

You shall be missed... but surely the lands of Caligus call home to you... but in another life... perhaps your spirit was as Sirion as anyone else here...

Thank you for visiting the land of the Red Dragon... and the collection of nobles that call this realm home. I am certain as the days of Prime Minister Zakilevo that your insights on military affairs harken to the days of old... and that our miltay-minded Sirionites here have gained valuable knowlege from your advice... where we go next is anothee question altogether...

...but safe travels and may kind fates be bestowed upon you. I shall travel with you at a distance into Limbar and perhaps a region further to assist with monsters or undead should they attempt to ambush or suddenly move in from neighbouring regions, and then you shall be on your own back to the Caligan borders...

Signed,

Naismith Willarc Knight of Parm Letter from Eisenritter Felsenbach Message sent to everyone in Sirion (8 recipients) - 2023-02-23 23:39:44

Sir Willarc,

My fellow realmmates unfortunately are too focused on enjoying their wines and stories.

They haven't gone to war in awhile and have forgotten about what it means to be a true noble. But it is something they will remember once they meet an aggressive neighbour. They will be forced to remember I am sure when it does happen.

As for Sirion, I truly hope that the realm manages to pull the project off. It is often quite difficult to get nobles to cooperate and I've only heard and seen it thrice in history of this world. Astrum, Eponllyn and Luria Nova. All those realms somehow pulled it off but they also struggled with their nobles to get it done.

People tend to not like seeing RCs gone but I hope they remember you can always aim for something better. That is how you best use your peace time. To improve on your infrastructure for the next war.

Once you build the RCs, you will have to experiment with them to figure out the best line settings. But remember line settings will need to be changed often after each battle to counter your enemies. Also, at the end of the day, winning battles alone won't win you wars. You have all witnessed that in the Perdan-Eponllyn war. Eponllyn's army was stronger but Perdan played their cards right and halted Eponllyn's advance. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to separate long term goals and short term goals. Do not randomly attack a region for no reason. When you are doing something, you should have a purpose.

Ultimately, the quickest way to win a war is to crush your enemy's will to fight. Astrum despite having all the greatest RCs in the world in one place fell because the realm was inhabited by weak minded nobles. Even the thickest armor can't protect you from an idiot who wants to die. As long as you have the will to fight, RCs won't be your biggest problem.
