lol this isn't a claim. This is a start of an intrest, but still exploring takes a few NS years, and if someone takes it soon I can open economic ties faster.

to take a new land you have to usually explore it, settle in it, develop a society and only THEN expand control to take it over. It's still stage 1 of a long process, besides I don't want to push an army in there and then do it, too expensive and a waste of man power.

Make all offers in the thread, believe me, I am not joking about the sand and timber or stone. If you can transport loads of it to our nation we will be happy to pay greatly. Sand is found in beaches, the desert (preferred type), and is commonly found in Egypt. Stone like Lime is also found around Egypt and many other european nations, it is a strong but heavy building item and is worth a ton of gold for every 2000 tons of stone, pound of solid gold for 2000 pounds of rock. (not a bad deal). Timber is very important, it fuels many of our fires, great for houses and can be crafted into many items. Depending on the type of wood we will pay differently.

Also other amounts of trading is acceptable, but most people love gold.

OOC: I think people should be careful at this stage of refering to themselves as nations. They would, at best, be a loosely aligned collection of city states, and at worse (like "Russia") a group of warring factions. Only Rome can really refer to herself as a nation per se, and even Rome is, at this stage, just the city itself and then some smaller towns and farmers around it in the Latium countryside.

Anyway... first I should say that I know nothing of ancient Russian tribes so im just making it up. IC:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/AEUROPE2.jpg

Praezchonia

Praezchonia is the dominant 'tribe' in the upper part of Russia. It is based around a single town of around 250,000 people, which owns much of the surrounding countryside and enforces its will there with military might. It is moderately advanced, and its military consists of relatively well trained and equipped, and they generally fight in long lines of spear and shield weilding infantry designed to hold the enemy, whilst archers are positioned behind and light cavalry at the sides to sweep around and envelope the enemy. This has generally proved successful in the past against the less advanced tactics of some of the tribes that lvie nearby. However, Praezchonia is interested only in taking and holding enough land to support its population, and has not begun to spread abroad, or even into the rest of the Northern Quardant.

Lzchastaland

This area contains several primitive city states which together own most of the land in the quadrant. They are, however, not always untied and currently a large war is ragin between two alliances of city states. It is unlikely that they will seek to united until one side is dominant or they face an outside threat. There are a few barbarian tribes in this area, but they are largely irrevelant and ignored, although they are sometimes recruited as mercenaries by the city-states. The city states' armies generally fight by means of a massive cavalry charge, with infantry only used to man the city walls in the form of archers, would are well trained and disciplined, and axe-wielding militia, which are not so.

Western Rashka

Western Rashka does not contain any advanced or semi-advanced civilisations. The barbarian cultures there generally fight on horseback, although they are also known to simply use a massive infantry swarm. THere are hundreds of seperate small tribes which are constantly warring. This area is seen as being wild and dangerous by the other two quadrants, and neither have any wish to send troops there.
Kyanges
30-11-2004, 21:20
Hmm, seems like a good idea to put a loose description of you "nation".


Kyanges General overview.
The nation of Kyanges is an ancient land, rich in natural resources. The population of 1,520,000 is concentrated in three major cities in the interior, with many smaller towns in and around the mountanous, desert terrain in the nation's northern regions. The southern area of Kyanges is relatively unexplored, however there are reports of primitive tribes in the frontier. There have been attempts to settle the outer areas, but such attempts have been met with failure. The military has been organizing a campaign to "pacify" these territories to make way safe for new settlers. Kyanges is a rather advanced civilization, with numerous universities and libraries in the main cities. The study of the sciences, arts, and the social progression are well supported by the govenment showing that the population is rather open to new ideas, and concepts.

The people of Kyanges are talented riders, as such a skill is nessasary to survive in the forbidding landscape outside the populated regions. It military is relatively well trained, drilled and equiped relying primarily on massive seige weapons, followed by mass waves of arrows, and finishing with intelligent usage of cavalry and infantry waves. There are several heavy strongholds in the outer regions, which operate extensive patrols in the areas surrounding the bases. Kyanges's Navy is relatively young, and is mainly dedicated to protecting its shipping. Military service is required of all men and even women in the ages of 18-50, with 10 years of service required before one can leave.

Kyanges has currently set its sights on exploring the territories of modern day Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, and Niger. However, due to the scale of this undertaking, the government has set Morocco, and Niger as top priorities and other areas as areas to explore in the future.
Tanthan
01-12-2004, 03:39
People from Tanthan begin crossing over into Switzerland, the promise of living space and vast hilly regions have sparked a general interest from a collection of the five groups currently working together. A weak form of civilian run government is in effect, but the feeling that this land is open has given reason for moving into it.

However the group sent to Slovenia has not returned yet and a feeling of unrest has started within Tanthan about this, but another year will pass before any action will be considered.

The Kyanges Republic is announcing its plans to explore, and eventually, control, Northern Morocco. The military is currently organizing an expeditionary force to accomplish these objectives. The Oasis Fortress in our Western Great Desert will be the base from which we launch our endevour.
Reasons for this venture include:
-Improved defensive postion.
(Morocco is rather mountainous, and therefore rather difficult to invade through.)
-Improved access into the Atlantic.
-Land of course.
-Pacification of the land for future settlers.
(Our people have attempted to settle Morocco for some time, but every settler who leaves is never heard from again. Our military is being sent to determine why this is, and eliminate whatever is threatening our people.)
Our expedition will cover the northern section of Morocco, and head for the Strait of Gilbralter, then move south from there.

A second expedition to take place after this one is completed, will move into Niger. (I know it's not on the map, so any claim won't be accepted, but this is for whenever it appears.)

Black, another thing to consider in the type of peoples it is as well.
I was reading a break of Ancient Militaries, and For instance it placed Arab Nomads as being capable of 40% of their pop to war--It placed Asian Steppe Nomads as being to use up 75% of their pop for War.--
However, the down fall is limited Fortifications-One maybe two FOrtified Cities in a Kingdom-where Rome or Greece might have 3/4s of their Cities fortified in some way.
Less skilled workers--smiths, armourers, what not.

FOr instance since I RP Arab Nomads(Bedouins)-I RP around 30% war capable POP.
I RP three "cities"--fortified(the Actual fortifications being walls around the city with heavy gates. What really makes them fortified is what you have to cross to get to them.

I dont even RP any more then three major cities--Bedouins go to other peoples cities to trade-they dont build cities.
I RP vast goat, sheep, camel and Horse herds which must graze--hence my need to conquer--I literally need land.
I RP with the Weapons of the History of the People I have--Bedouins rarely ever wore armour--bows were common-but not nearly as common as the sling(bows were usually used mounted-slings used dismounted), the whip and long dagger were common, the long curved single edged sword, and the Lance(spear), I divide my Military according to Bedouin divisions--a nearly even split between mounted and foot troops(the Bedou placed as many men as possible on horse or camel back).
I lose a lot of infrastructure--also I have absolutely no navy at all--at all(they are Bedouins for goodness sakes, they dont build and sail boats)- no chariots-Though against their cavalry of Seglawi Arabian Mounts A charioteer would be a fool to not turn and run.
Little to no siege weapons, i kkep them basic--oh and Bedouins do not fight in phallanx--why? that was never their tactic--I also try to stick with Bedouin tactics as much as possible.
Anyway, I think you are doing a good job with this.

I get what you mean about war able population, but even still, Nations such as Gual or germania, pretty much everyone who could walk was battle able, however they were rarley formed into collective armies. The able bodied men would fight, leaving the women and children and elderly in the villages to run the everyday life. Should a village be come upon unsuspectingly, whoever was in the town would defend it to the death. I dont know very much about Asian/African military at this time, that is why I am hesitant about opening those continents up to the RP. I leave it up to the Players to figure that stuff out, I just wanted to make sure that everyone was going withing theire limits. its easy for me to say that my entire population has ben bred to fight from birth, and Everyone is in the army, and now my entire army of 2 million is marching towards a City. Not likley lol. So I dont have a problom with the way things are, just want everyone to hear that from me here before they decide to invade me with their UberArmies.

And yes, It would be a good idea if everyone stated what kind of Armies they RP (ie: greek, roman, barbarian, etc. Generaly I would like you to stick to what they would normally be in your Lands. a Roman style military would not fair well in the Arabian Desert, just as an Arabian army would not fair well in Northern Germany lol)

True about Gaul and Germania, however it is the practice of Asian Nomads(Tartars, Mongols, what have you)
To bring their women to war with them, the women would literally bring wagoned "homes" when the Mongols came their cities came with them.
It wasnt just the warriors.
As well the Arabs used the women in similar capacities(no where near the scale the Mongols did)
That was the benefit of nomadic lifestyle-when they came-everyone came-
But again, things like metal craft were not their strong suit. They did adapt excellent seige tactic however(unlike the Bedouins--other Arabs did, the Bedouins did not)
The Germanics fought for lack of a better term in a more european manner.
As well, There were the rare men in history who did rally together seprate tribes to form mighty nations(or at the bear minimum mighty armies)
Brian Boru, Ghengis Khan, Saladin, it could even be said that Alexander did such a thing. In any event this is the most interesting RP idea I have seen on these forums.
I again want to thank you BlackTower, and everyone else whose work reads nicely. I love History.

yes the mongols I do know about (I was hooked on Age of Empires II lol) and I know that they were a nomadic horse people. and as for the Barbarian tribe, they did eventually form a loosely tied Nationstate with an impressive army, and used it to smash rome, however it was simply to, for lack of a better word, "Cave-manish" to be kept together. They lacked the technology an know how to keep eachother informed. And the only reason the romans fell was because they had pulled troops from their Northern borders, opening them up to the Gual and Germanic tribes :D

Tanthan has begun the road to China! 4 Legions have been dispatched to sweep across the borders of the countries and untaken areas to control china. This is the first event in which the 5 tribes of Tanthan are working together to accomplish such a goal.

where is the thread for this?

and you do realise that in order to get to China you have to cross hundreds upong thousands of miles of Hostile enemy territory?

If you go in a straight line you will have to cross Upper Xen and Dimmimar. Also think of the logistical nightmare that would come from sending 4 entire legions so far from your homeland. And Im pretty sure they dont appretiate a Large ARmy just walking across their lands. If you want to make a move for China, I suggest that you talk to the players involved.

Also, just because I said the Asian map was open doesnt mean the Mediteranian nations know that it exsists! Back in that time period, that was the known world. They did not even know of the CHinese and Japanese empires that lay in the east, so if you want to lay some sort of claim to China, you will have to do some extensive RP explenations. This goes for EVERYONE!

I opened up Asia so that we can encourage more new members to join earth BC, not to open up anothr land grab for the nations already playing.

Lol, I meant RL preparations for IC exploration and taking of china, sorry was in a hurry and didn't mean to make it sound like that Blacktower. Though I need to finish the map for Slovenia to even begin the march towards this land.

even still, you are a barbaric people and I can not comprehend the horrendous logistics for this action. Even the Highly advanced Romans had great difficulty in keeping the edges of their kingdom together, a people such as the Barbarian tribes of Gual and Germania did not have the abilities to organise such a feat. If you can figure out someway to do it, then all the power to you, but have fun marching across enemy territory for years and years lol.

UPDATE: Zagreb (ancient equivalent unknown) has been sacked by the forces of Upper Xen, and is currently in our hands.

This seizure enables us to command much of Northeast Croatia. As of recently, there is stil scattered resistance, but the Huns are doing their jobs, and the conquest is nearly complete.

Kyanges has moved over to the Straigt of Gilbralter through Morocco. A second small group of 100 has been sent to scout out the southern part of the nation. Once the conquest is complete, a new group of settlers will move into the new region and we will begin organizing a committee to to consider the invasion of the small nation of Alethria.

Could I make it be known that there where nations that did infact know china existed. All of the Successer Kingdoms of Alexander the Great knew of it, And so did the Succesers of Alexander of Epirus. Thus, Scicily, and all of the Greek kingdoms knew of it.

The Roman Empire and the Byzentine Empire also traded with China.

The Silk Road was a common trade route-- the western Chinese began steady trading with the Occidental--West--(as oppossed to Oriental--East--) around 206-202BC.

Kyanges's armies have moved down to central Morocco. There seems to be no sign of any resistance, and in fact, barely anthing at all. This makes the dissapearance of the previous settlers all the more unsettling...
