2012 Newfag
Alright, sorry for the delay but it looks like it took months for enough people to get together and start a game. We are just getting started and already the news has been mixed:
Our wizard Gorehk Longaan has prepared a spell of Force March for our army invading the Jungle Fens. Other than that, the siege train has been prepared and the country will be invading shortly. We have also raised 6 spearmen units, 1 archer unit, and 1 horsemen unit.
Chief Malowi Lalibeha did an adequate counter espionage job but did not find signs of enemy activity in the kingdom. Anglu Segayeha cast his Diplomacy spell on Tyrina Madula to good effect, as she successfully signed a peace treaty between Punt and Zembabwei. We are now protected from that flank and there will be no invasion along our eastern and southeastern flanks. This is the best news of this turn and it means that no armed conflict can occur between our peoples until the next Peace Years session.
Asoza Shakuluzu is with the 2nd Army, which we'll keep to counter possible invasions. Chief Macuta Lalibeha, Gorehk Longaan, and Negek Shakaluzu have joined or remained with the 1st Army, which is the one we are invading with. Chief Irangi Lalibeha, Warchief Kitu Maputa, and Gambila Maputa have spent their time governing the provinces and kingdom.
Our province of Southern Punt is in a bit of chaos though, account of the people not appreciating that their newly assigned ruler of Philiza Segayeha is a corpse. This is the problem with Peace Year turns, as long periods of time can go by and your older court members have a chance of dying. We lost Agent Tyrina Madula and Philiza Segayeha this turn, which is even more unfortunate due to how hugely successful they were for us. Tyrina got us that Peace Treaty and Philiza would have been a strong ruler for the troubled province of Southern Punt. In return we have a new, young nobleman enter our court named Tanalu N'Koseh, but he is rather mediocre and doesn't come near to making up what we lost:
Tanalu N'Koseh
Priest
Prime of Life
Personal Combat: Adequate
Diplomacy: Poor
Rulership: Adequate
Military Command: Poor
Heroism: None
Intrique: Adequate
Magic: None
Our provinces had the following revenue returns: Kasaii was Excellent, The Gold Hills was Superior, and Southern Punt was Adequate and needs a new ruler. Despite the strong revenue returns, we had a slight dip in our treasury due to our war preparations, but we still have a Treasury rated as Good. Our provinces of Kassai and The Golden Hills have High and Very High loyalty to the throne, but Southern Punt now lacks a leader and is down to Low loyalty.
The next turn is the Spring War Season. The loss of two of our best noble members really cripples us and I would expect enemy actions if it were not for the fact that we just came out of the initial peace turn, our Superior counterspy detected no foreign activity, the two seemed to have died of natural causes, and courtiers due sometimes die naturally in peace turns. I lean towards the RNG gods being most unkind to us.
I propose the following:
- Raise the same amount of troops as last time.
- Have the troops we just raised join the 1st Army. If they can't meet up this turn, then they'll plus up the Army afterwards.
- Negek Shakaluzu is a horrible general and he's with the 1st Army in Southern Punt. He may as well drop everything and become the province ruler of Southern Punt in order to fill that gap. As a bonus, he's from that province. Warchief Maputa should rule Kassai, Gambila Maputa the Golden Hills, and Chief Lelibeha rule the kingdom this turn.
- Chief Malowi Lalibeha should Spy on the Kingdom of Kesh.
- I'm tempted to send Anglu Segayeha out to Adventure. Adventuring is dangerous, but can bring lots of rewards such as increased skills and treasure. He's already a badass with Superior Heroism and Excellent Personal Combat, but I'd hate to lose him due to his Excellent intrigue and good list of spells. Alternatively, I can stick him in an army though his generalship is poor and the Army already has Force March prepared by another courtier.
- I may send Tanalu N'Koseh to Southern Punt to help rule there for now, with plans to make him the new ruler of the Jungle Fens if that invasion is successful.
Speaking of the invasion, we have are about to invade that province. Getting out into Open Terrain should be simple. We can elect to go with an Open Field, Set Piece Battle, or Commander's Discretion. Chief Macuta Lalibeha should be the commander with his Excellent military command skill. Gorekh Longaan shouldn't be trusted with any command since he sucks at it, and he's just there to cast his Force March spell if needed.
Thoughts?
