Fanrai: one or the other

Half Elves

Also can someone edit that map so we have borders and the Race's name instead of the region's. I don't have photoshop.

edit the other post then

Is their a way to win this?

Can I change to half elves?

Race:Aquatic Elves
Region: Iamn sea

Advanced Army unit:Archers

Whoever has Uzgob Desert has a big strategic advantage.

Fanrai: yes its called winning the war.
101st Paratroopers: sure
Ih8uwannakillu: one or the other. probably use the Aquatic Elves since Mermaids would have trouble fighting on land.

no they don't because there is only two ways in and out. they have barely any resources and have almost no way to move their armies if the Dwarves fight them.

ok, ill stick with the elves thanks, everything else ok?

i think we have enoguh players so signups are closed.

ok, ill stick with the elves thanks, everything else ok?

yeah. accepted.

the way I see it is that the races in the desert should have like a Yin Yang shape to thier teritory. That way they both start with an exit/ entrance. Plus then theres the oportunity to fight over the river. Oh and you may aswell just use paint to edit in the teritorys, we don't need class, just something recognisable

the way I see it is that the races in the desert should have like a Yin Yang shape to thier teritory. That way they both start with an exit/ entrance. Plus then theres the oportunity to fight over the river.

we only have one race playing in the desert. but the rest of us have total control of our regions accept the people in Raeldar. They have to work out their boundries before we start.

I didn,t think about that Charzak. But they do have a big area. Anyone trying to invade it would have trouble getting past the hot, waterless desert. Like in Russia, acccept the weather is reversed.

exactly. that is why their is a sea to the east and a river to the north. any invaders just stick to the water sources.

In theory
But the problem is similar in Raeldar, theres only one land bridge and the other person would probably be stuck trying to traverse the ice sea.. no matter, im just glad it's not me XP

yet that is why we can make alliances! IC thread will be up tomorrow.

ok i decided that we could have multiple IC threads for seperate wars and alliances. let me know if you want this or to have just one IC thread.

No. It's much too small for multiple threads for now. I say we have one main thread. Anytime a war erupts and there's a conquest, we can create another thread.

Will there be large battles with multiple nations, or petty skirmishes? What is our reason for fighting? Is there a plot?

1 IC thread man. If we make alliances, then each alliance can make thier own thread later.

Large battles multiple nations.

Plot: A time of war has come. Each of the races has dreams of conquest. The land has become wrestless and everyone knows that a battle is brewing. The only question is where. Who stands alone? Who comes together? Who wins the land?

Thats good.

hmm, never thaught about alliances... this cold get interesting. On the subject of threads I stick with what paratroopers and heiro say, it makes sense.

lol

Is there any area with volcanos?

IDK, look at the map.

Who wants an alliance with me?

the map dosn't really point out volcanic areas.

Then I really have no idea. You could make one up near the mountains.

were allowed to do that?

I dont know. But this is an RP thread on jolt. You can make things up as long as it isnt god moding.

go ahead. if you have map-making skills can you edit in the races' names and the borders.

can we wait to make alliances untill the IC thread is up.

sure.

Can I change my claim to Sypius Plains and have that sort of like Mordor, like black plains of ash with a dark fortress in the center that is my capital?

fine edit all changes on your original sign up.
IC thread is up.

http://www.siggraph.org/publications/video-review/sig2005/SVRAT151Images/png/TippetStudioCreates.png

Thats what my territory looks like(Excepet without the cars and stuff)

This is PT you know?

there are no burning cars and crap, just imagine that but in a past setting.

ok, thats cool

i would hurry up and start sending emmisaries to other nations. The centaurs and demons already have an alliance.

CHarzak im going to edit my army so that I have a seige/terror unit, but other than that my whole army is either infantry or heavy infantry(FE: HEll knights)

ok but no more editing your armies. everything is final. that includes everyone.
everyone has siege, cavalry, archers, a navy etc. unless like the centaurs you can't.
for example the centaurs can't have infantry because they are half horse so their infantry becomes their cavalry.

I was just saying most of my army is infantry, we don't really focus on much else.

Zainzibar Land: accepted but please tell me what they are because I am clueless!

Know what warforged are? Essentially like that, humanoid clockwork machines with metal skin. Siege golems are giant metal constructs of little intelligence that charge foreward, smashing everything in their way
Would look something like this:
Clockwork Golem:
http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/63706/Warforged%20001_qjpreviewth.jpg
Siege Golem:
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG135.jpg

I would assume we have a good navy, considering my race lives on an island..
I'll just play by myself. Please don't send an emissary's without my permission. Embarrassing your race isn't exactly what I want to start with.

Yeah the island races naturally have a great navy.

well i have frankly no navy, i live in the water after all so we don't really need much, we're quite good at sabotaging boats thoe so BE WARNED MUWAHAHAHAHAHA And ill ally with u Paras, eleves together make sense
Cnat belive the IC is up to page 2 alreadY!!

Where is the stupid ic?

Oh could I add another special unit?
They'd be steel scorpian like creatures that burrow through sand and attack foes, called Sand Horors

Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=578272)

Because no one bothered reading my OOC post a page back stating that I didn't want random emissaries popping up on my islands, all but the Aquatic Elves will simply be filled with arrows if they step on my islands without asking me first. If you're wondering why I let the Aquatic Elves, it's because they live next door. Thank you.

Can I be your ally?

Not until later. For now it would have no point. We cannot provide support if we are attacked (Considering the lake, plains, and mountains between us). Once I expand a bit and our nations get closer, sure.
However, since you asked, I won't kill your people. I'll just say no politely and send you off.

Ok.

makes note to call that brother back.
note 1: snow elfs are a no go
note 2: demons are evil
note 3: centaurs are meh.

Expect me to expand quickly though. If all goes well with the Aquatic elves my navy will immediately start colonizing north and south, which would put me in a position to ally with Paratroopers.

However, Chazakain is just waaay too far away. It would be pointless, because messaging and help would take waay to long. So sorry.

could we please go IC again.

well i was actually going to surround your island ha

Go ic!!!

You'd need a pretty big navy. Anyway, it would take too long for you to colonize all around me. And without ports your ships would run out of supplies and die.

So I'll just colonize the North and start adding on to my navy, which should probably be superior to yours, since demons are usually creatures of fire.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I would go IC, but there's nothing to post on for me.

Say something to my embassary!

You're still stuck on a water-clogged boat, if I recall.

The guy saved my, now post!

Do you expect me to magically walk on water, ask you if you want some tea, and then tell you we don't want an alliance? I don't think so. You'll need to RP getting on my beach. And not a one-liner.

I'd think the war will probably go like this
Dwarves and Golems vs Centaurs and Demons vs Humans and elves vs Acquatic elves

North Cala, I suppose you magically walk on water to my island, and sneak past my navy? Ehh. No.

I am indeed afraid of your Navy(which would beat the crap out of mine) Dosn't mean i wont have ships that are capable of taking on yours. Besides I know a ground war with me would result in your immediate death ha. We shall see in the future..my troops are already moving.

I'm at your port.

Zanzi, I'm forging an alliance with the Aquatic Elves. It'll end up Demons vs. Elves. Everyone else will hop on a bandwagon depending on their alliance.

hey now, I've just sent envoys(which you don't know what message they're bringing) so an elven alliance may be abit hasty.

CAn you please post IC?

working on a map of claims by the way

Ok, but while you are doing that, please go IC

Map (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj31/chazsapphire/134.png)
of all claims, some may not have been acceptable but it should be fairly easy to see who has what.

and there isn't anything for me to response to

My elves also had legon

since the op claimed it, no they don't.

OP? I had it first.

Oh. Well I didnt know and I invaded it with no resistance.

No. It was claimed before you.
Anyway, I think the Aquatic Elves are actually in the sea that surrounds me, according to their claim.

Is it okay if we colonize more land IC?

Sure. I colonized part of Legon. Hopefull the centars wont mind and i can make peace with them.

You can't just say you half part of it because you RP'd taking it without knowing someone else owned it. Legon was claimed before, now you know. You have no part of Legon, back out of Legon. Legon belongs to the Centaurs.

So. I can declare war on them. And then colonize it.

Okay. Then you'll have to declare war on them. But for now you own no part of Legon. And you should expect heavy resistance from the Centaur's. I'd advise you not to do this. You'll be fighting a combined force of Demons and Centaurs in an easily defendable area.

I suggest you expand into previously colonized territory later.

I went over the mountain. Into the land for about 2 miles. Thats it.

No. No no no no.
Ask Charzak for permission first.
Or else I'll magically claim all of your lands.

ok, next time he gets on.

Is windermere open to attack?

everything is open to "attack".
now colonizing it maybe.
But yes that area hasn't been claimed but you may have to fight the humans that border it.

nobody owns Windermere officially and the humans are not at the area I want control of.

The centaurs have total control of Legon and Thalreth now. Legon was always under their control.

No. It was claimed before you.
Anyway, I think the Aquatic Elves are actually in the sea that surrounds me, according to their claim.

Is it okay if we colonize more land IC?

Yes indeedy im actuly IN the Irman sea, how else could i know about Para's boat or take him to me, he has aquatic elves too but they'd still probably die of exhaustion before reaching me there! If it's ok with you guys im gonna put where i actuly want to be on the map (http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh161/dragonsclaw56/Charkakainsmapv2.jpg), decide on it as you will.

Damn, it turned out unfortunatly small... well if you want it ill try and send you the full version properly then...

Do the centaurs have patrols on the mountains?

101st paratroopers please keep OCC posts in OCC thread

It's OoC, not OcC.
Out of character.
As opposed to IC, which in In Character.

So now I have a more fortified defense set up in the Windermere. I'll soon start producing naval vessels and the like from their. So whoever asked if Windermere is open, it's not. I have it.

When are we supposed to start attacking? I understand the Demons are attacking me, but what about the huge wars. And whoever is the demons, why are you attacking me? That seems foolish, when there are closer foes. I'd like for you to make up a reason, instead of just 'Cause I felt like it.'

Essentially I think the centaurs and elves attempting to expand will ignite the powder keg. Or maybe I'll start it all, golem vengeance

yes we have border patrols in the mountains because our castle is near them.

umm...cause were demons?

Fanrai, your army is waaay too big. The armies of old had maybe 14,000 men.
Since this is Fantasy maybe 30k AT THE MOST.

Having 200k soldiers is ridiculous.

specially since that would at least be 10% of your population and thats a major no no for any time period.

101st I haven't even talked to your ambassador. I told you, you need to RP them coming onto my beach before I can send them off.

So. The Windermere will be fully fortified in about 1 page. Yaay for the Snow Elves! Soon I'll have the most land :D

I just did... Now send me off.

I did.
Are you happy now?

ok, thanks.

North Calaveras, just so you know you would have either had to pass the Ralda (Elven lands) or the Dwarven lands to reach the Windermere. Soo.

I have Ralda. Unless you want to have millions of arrows through your head I would back off.

He just magically passed right through your lands, soo.
Feel free to kill him nao. It would save my men the arrows.

No thanks. He could use pixie dust to float through the clouds.

yeah giant creatures attackign me when i was cruising along on the ocean.

What?!?

Why does everyone have massive armies? I'm on the verge of unleashing 10,000 warships of doom with super cannons if these armies are not properly sized.

I only have 10,000 ish in my army/navy.

meh, my active army is only three thousand "archers" and they're pretty busy with goblins and orcs.

My guys are immensely well trained and equipped. You have a small population which accounts for a smaller army.

yeah giant creatures attackign me when i was cruising along on the ocean.

Yep. Put it this way, it;s either i get shit loads of help from the animals because compaired to everyone else my forces are quite weak (we live under water for gods sake, like we're gona have practive in actual fights) or I'll get utterly masacered. Bear in mind aswell that technicly I have no land, seeing how I'm underwater.

101st paratroopers, please do not double post, there is an edit button
And yah guys, please describe in better detail on how you are attacking, or even moving an army, I'm getting sick of the one-liners too

I don't double post

You just did

OOC: Except you never said how they got there.
OOC: You cant just suddenly board ships. You start from Legon. Then you go over to my spot. Then you board ships. My area is heavily fortified. Unless you want your men to die. I suggest we forget about the posts.

Just use the edit button

you've done it about 5 times now, all thoe thas mostly because me and you were doing 2 things with 2 seperate groupes of people at the same time...
And I know what you mean Zanzabar, its getting a little boring and confusing

Sorry, I'll fix it.

Sign-ups are closed sorry

o no prob didnt noticed =)

fine but i am just saying it makes the thread less confusing

Actually, on second thought I'll post there. But I still don't like it.

Anyway, I was thinking, and it's logistically near impossible to transport an entire army of 100,000 Centaurs by sea.
Each Warship can hold around 150 humans? That means it can hold around 100 Centaurs.
Now, that means you'd need 1,000 ships just to transport the Centaurs.
1,000 wooden ships is a lot.
I dun think the US Navy has that many. And think of all the trees it would take to make these ships. It would be forest devastation. Also, the Centaurs are not exactly built for Water. They were built for running quickly on land. So, next time you attack someone, I suggest you go by land. It might be faster, and it would certainly be less dangerous.

oh ok then that works. less confusing

I think we should restart or make seperate threads for each conflict, already two people have opted out

well im on the verge of it cause it IS getting ridiculously confusing.

ok make seperate threads to do this it would make it a lot easier thaen this one. I have a feeling that the battle at my capital is going to turn out like Helms Deep in LOTR.

execpt you dont win lol.

Charzak, do you surrender at the Windermere?
The Demons dropped out of the RP, and I'm on the verge of destroying you without him.

I have a friend that wants to join.

Race: Vampires
Region: Sypius Plains
Leader: Robert Ochiv
Main Army Unit: Infantry
Advanced Army Unit: Secret infantry force, limited navy

Ok, go IC then.

Kenavt, I believe the thread is already closed.

Kenavt, I believe the thread is already closed.

Ahhh. Well... I'll just wait around and see. I am sorry if this is the case for intruding.

We've already turned away some people.
I'm pretty sure it's closed.
And anyway, no one ever seems to post in this thread.

Let him on, 2 people left, we need more.

Bump for my application, much?

just go ic

Whatever.

go IC

Can you give me an overview of where the elves, centaurs, and any other important races are?

oOC: Aquatic elves and snow elves but everyone else is inactive. Centaurs have Legon and I'm taking that over. The others don't matter.

The others don't matter.

Hey now, the wood elfs are still there, just nothing to really post about at the moment.

Hey now, the wood elfs are still there, just nothing to really post about at the moment.

Except for the emergence of a new race, essentially? Much?

And where are you? Besides the woods, obviously - like which woods?

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj31/chazsapphire/134.png
hopefully should help, some have been destroyed and or quit since I made this so take it what you will.

Why, thank you. That's very useful. And it appears that I got some things wrong. Do you think it would be OK if I took over NC's demons, or I would have to move to Scassia
