CURRENT EVENTS: TARVO: Full arms expanding West, Controls North Awecur, researching steam. NAVAR: Expanding north with a large force, building mines and fortifications, colonizing western isles, investigating advanced navigation tech, controls south Awecur AWECUR: Holdout in Olso and Constantinople, broken HARAD: Invading the Zuestra Raider Camps, medium forces, advancing propellants. Nytheria: 1/4 of military given to Tarvo, ADVANCEMENT: Water wheel. DRINNSHLEIK: Acquired black-powder, advancing tech. IRONGUARD: Improving metallurgy, constructing weapons. All other fighters have yet to report.

Well RPers of Dakka, I've decided to throw in my lot to our fair role-play forum.

This is nation based world conquest. This means that every player will start off with their own nation, and work towards ruling the entire world (Europe). You can base your nation off of anything you want to, or make it up completely. Your choice. But remember, we will all start off at a Mid-evil era tech level. Bows and swords, one might say. As we progress, you can advance your technology and nation. You can expand your nation by diplomacy, religion, invasion, wealth, or any other way you can (reasonably) imagine.

I'll run this with the PM system. For those of you new, you simply PM me your actions, and I'll factor them with others to show what happens. You can post things happening in your nation, things happening with any characters you want to have, and things you're going to do that you want public.

TEMPLATE:

Nation: The name, obviously, and flag, if you so please.

People: What kind of people inhabit your nation. Black, White, Asian, furry, etc.

Government: How you rule your nation. Military Rule, Republic, Empire, Church, etc.

Ruler: Who rules the country. In essence, your character. King Testikles, Chairman Boppity, etc.

Population: How many people inhabit your nation. Rough numbers, such as 1,500,000, 1,500,000, etc. No going over 2,000,000, and I will ensure reasonable populations

Economy: What drives your income and out-come and current status of wealth. Sell excess farm food, buy weapons, poor, wealthy, etc.

Tech: What kind of technology you specialize in, current advancements, and research ability. (NOTE: Influences technological progress.) Locomotion, Weaponry, Naval, etc.

Military: The fighters of your nation: Factored by:

Quantity: Miniscule (2,500)......Small (5,000)....Average (7,500)....Big (10k).....Massive (12,500)....Endless (15k)....All-Consuming (15k+)

Quality: Invincible..................Elite................Professional...........Trained........Draft....................Militia................Peasant

(Note: You must balance these factors. If your army is all-consuming, then it must be cannon fodder. If it's invincible, then it must be miniscule.)

History: Any relevant biography for your nation and it's people. Origins, major geography, major events, etc

Map and nations, along with sample nation, run by me, who will only influence the world via trade, unless I need to unleash my armies. And yes, we'll call this the entire world, unless I feel we need more room.

People- Multi Cultured, allows immigration only when not in war though.

Government- Republic, each race gets two representatives. One member is voted Head Representative he has the final decision in everything.

Ruler- Head Representative Nicholas.

Economy-Exports excess food and metals, imports wood and medicine

Tech- Specializes in Naval and heavy artillery, lacks a lot of medical knowledge and relies on foreign medicines mostly. ADVANCES: Crude Cannons.

Military- Small Elite

History- Was created when a group of humans and a group of elves both escaping genocides in their countries formed a community together. It grew with the ideal of a safe haven for the oppressed. Although most of these ideals were broken when many who came turned out to be criminals. The country came close to anarchy, before the council created the strict immigration processing and police force. During this unrest they also came under attack by many of their neighbors looking to control the smaller country, and for years their entire scientific focus came to military uses. This resulted in the creation of their multiple powerful warmachines as well as it's expert navy, which use an experimental type of engine kept secret from others. It allowed them to quickly move even their heaviest ship to outmaneuver their enemy. They have now grown to be a small but respectable nation and have returned to most of their previous ideals.

THE BRINGER

Nation: Drinnshliek

People: Cave trolls and drow

Government: Similar to feudal system, the seven heads of the country are dark elves.

Ruler: 7 Lords or Ladies, first child of the current ruler becomes the next.

Economy: Livestock are abundant on the surface, and are a major export. The trolls are either miners or blacksmiths.

Tech: Underground specialization, Troll basic metal weapons, Drow fine weapons and luxuries.

Military: Massive Draft, +7 Invincibles

History:
Aren, Aszmyn, Veryn, Tatlon, Sabryn, Jhaunae, and Raebeya were seven elf siblings. Their mother was Dranuen, and their father the god Alilrae Tilntarr. They were born in Kasrkaos, and lived in the northwestern region.

They lived in peace and isolation, till one day rumor spread among superstitious wives of their existence, and it was believed that they were demons, destined to destroy Kasrkaos. Rumors multiplied and grew, until one day a bold group of warriors crossed into their home and slaughtered their mother.

The children of Alilrae fled to the west. They found a ship and started a journey to cross the ocean. They sailed and sailed, and finally landed on the island of Drinnshliek, inhabited completely by barbaric trolls - who lived in caves and tunnels that penetrated the entirety of the island.

The children were forced to become masters of the blade to survive in the barbaric land. Their greatest weapons were stealth and cunning. They saw that their father had favored them, and so they built a shrine honoring him, and then swore an oath to each other, that they would for eternity protect each-other and conquer this foul land, making it their own.

That night they each took up their weapons and started a bloodbath, killing every troll warlords and leader they could find. Within a year, they had killed every troll who assumed authority over others - and hell was breaking loose. Trolls were turning on trolls, and every fight was one for survival.

They carved out the island into seven provinces, named after them. They forced the trolls into submission, slaughtering all who disobeyed their orders - however the trolls soon came to respect their dark-elf masters. Though the trolls were stronger than them, the drow had infinitely superior cunning, finesse, and beauty.

Alilrae blessed the brothers and sisters with long life, and gave them each a husband and wife from amongst his other children.

The drow siblings died after a few centuries. Their children took the same oath they did, swearing to protect each-other even if it led them to their own death. Down through the ages they perfected the art of swordsmanship and manipulation. They could make a man kill himself if it was their will, and they could strike down small armies by themselves. - and their troll underlings grew less and less warlike.

The drow and trolls live in caves, tunnels, anywhere where darkness was greater than sunlight. They let predators and herds roam the surface, coming up and slaughtering them for food whenever they need them.

MORDOSKUL

Nation: Tarvo

People: Mostly Caucasian

Government: Monarchy backed by various noble houses

Ruler: Lord Kassius IV of the House of Kelov

Population: 1,500,000

Economy: Regulated Free Market

Tech: Calvary, printing-press, crude rifles

Military: Trained Big, Cavalry

History: Seven hundred years ago, the land of Callaka (modern day Tarvo) was populated by dozens of warring barbarian tribes that cared little for the trappings of civilization. Numerous disparate city-states lay scattered about Callaka, content to war with one another over small glories. There was one man, however, of the Tarvii who possessed visions of an empire. That man was Abelard, and he possessed the manpower and cunning to bring his dreams to fruition. Leading his warriors into battle against the Ostrogi, the Talii, the Vesterlans, and dozens of other Callakan tribes, Abelard assembled the Grand Host, which he took to the plains of Ukr and beyond, leaving cities smashed and villages emptied. The Ukr Wars lasted for eight years, and saw a unified Tarvo emerge from the ruins of dozens of city-states. Abelard understood that if his Empire was to survive, he needed to keep the numerous slave states in line. Thus was the Consul created to ensure that each such state was overseen by a loyal Tarvii warlord. Five more years passed, and Abelard grew restless, feeling the call to war once again. Raising the Grand Host to war, he marched to the end of the sea, subjugating the various peoples that dwelt there. His conquest at an end, Abelard was purported to have wept, for the world was his, nothing could challenge him. He then bade his shield bearer to kill him, for he saw no point in living without the thrill of conquest. As the warrior raised his sword, an arrow pierced his heart, launched from heathen bow. Warriors from modern day Nytheria had landed their vessels on the shore, and had begun to pepper the Grand Host with arrows. Abelard was both overjoyed and enraged, there were still those that opposed him, his empire had not united all as he had thought. The next decade was marked by brutal fighting as the Tarvo invaded Lehmania (modern day Nytheria in an event known as the Battle of the Red Sea, as the ocean itself ran red with the blood of attacker and defender alike. Abelard himself burned down the sacred groves of the Lehmanians, an act that enraged the natives, who retaliated brutally in the Battle of the Mohrn, and nearly dislodged the Tarvo from their island home. The Tarvo pushed back with alarming speed and cruelty, dragging Lehmanian prisoners behind their chariots by their entrails. When Abelard captured the capitol of Avernod, he ordered every Lehmanian prisoner to be tied to a stout wooden pole. Abelard then rode past the great line, decapitating every prisoner with a stroke of his sword. Lehmania now under Tarvo control, Abelard made to return to Callaka, but died from a fever on the return trip. Decades later, the Tarvo began to lose control of their slave-states in Lehmania and those on the coast, and a bloody civil war raged as the Consul slaughtered the rebels. Tarvo won the conflict, but lost a great deal of land as a result, a loss they have not recovered from to this day. Today, however, King Kassius IV has assembled the Grand Host once again, and means to restore the Empire of Tarvo to its former splendor.

So the Great nation Of Irongraud was formed.

The city of 100,000 is a completely free democracy, the only law being the rules of the tight-nit groups families and friends, a system which works surprisingly well. Any nation or people can walk into the city, whatever their business, without worry, as long as their intentions are clean.

**Kasrkai**

Completely forgot about the ruler section. Added that, so that is basically your character.

i think you need to section the map,so when you take part of another countries territory,its easier to know what was taken and the like.

i might join,think strongly for this.if i do im being a cultist country

**Kasrkai**

I'll divide the map according to the players and their nations. I gave Kasrkaos a very simple border up north. I'll update it regularly to show expansion, invasion, capitals, and major discoveries.

**lord commissar klimino**

get at lest 3 more people and ill post my stuff.

**Kasrkai**

Challenge accepted.

**ineptus astartes**

(squiddely-flam? NO.)

and kasr. most RPs take more than an hour for people to be interested. it took me few days for Toyhammer.

stuck n a name. heres the candidate list.

(location is that bit of africa just poking up from the bottom, photobucket does not work ATM so...)

Tantisia

Freisia

Wayland (SW references FTW!)

Adumar (SW ref again)

Gorakori

Vernox (...)

that is all I have FTM and dinner is starting. I will post the rest in a few.

**Kasrkai**

Yeah, but a certain somebody just necro'ed the entire first page of the RP forum, almost drowning me forever.
Wayland sounds good, and Bastion is a good SW reference for a military nation.

whats a good name for a cultist country were everyone follows dark gods and its all happiness and sacrifices to the great rainbow god?

**Kasrkai**

Mordor.

Or Mordakai. Or something beginning with M and ending with AI.

reminds me of mordoskul....

**ineptus astartes**

this fantasy, or 'realer' (With/without magic,trolls, orcs, orks)

**Kasrkai**

I'm trying to avoid out-right magic, unless you guys really want to, but you don't necessarily have to have humans or real animals, so long as it's basically possible.

So yes, you could have Troll, Orcs, Cat-people, and Lizards, but no witches or wizards.

**ineptus astartes**

OK (that dinner was an ordeal. my parents flipped out when I refused to back down on 'holding the knife in the left hand is perfectly fine')

I am happy to see a thread like this up. I do this hombrew thing with my cousins every christmas break/summer. and have a lot of experience (i also made it so when a war happens we use 40k-ish mechanics on a terrein set up table with plastic soldiers as infantry...not ONE of my beach landings has been successful!)

anyways

Wayland. (pop: Waylanders)

people: former warring tribesmen. (think, tuaregs/berbers/saudis)

the Wayland climate is hot enough to make ordinary men feel drowsy, and give the high northerners heatstroke. but the natives can walk for days under the brutal sun. the primary mode of transport is camels, donkeys, and horses. and the military is composed of all veterans. as this country's army specializes in raiding. as well as pacifying the more barbaric tribes yet to join the fold. such as the 'Mad Savatars'

it is a massive country with many provinces. and is protected from landing on the Kiffar peninsula by both mountains, and the massive coastal fort of Gebra

capital: Al-Kahli

(Yes it is (based off) Klatch!)

ruler: Kadram the Uniter (warlord/sovereign)

(orks are the soldiers we use that are captured from the deep South, equip them with better weapons and order them about.pointing them toward the enemy.) also. are these Orcs 'this fella aint dead' or Orks? 'oo iz yoo lookin at git?'

it is too hot for trolls in Waland. (trolls are silicate life forms that eat rocks and stand at termie/dread hight but the heat makes these normally violent creatures brains overheat and turn to slag)

**ineptus astartes**

Wayland is down at the bottom.

(I will do a summary of far south orcs)

**Kasrkai**

So, you have a professional average sized army?

I'll update how research and military works later.

**Kasrkai**

Alright, I'm going to say each nation can have a special native, be it giants or orcs or whatever (Which I would think Orc, like lord of the rings) But then again, your orcs could become orkz as we advance through the ages.

Ineptus, if you could follow the template a bit more, because everything listed is important to game-play.

**ineptus astartes**

yeah sure

(I call orcs/orks)

**The Bringer**

So much potential.... I'm really tempted to join this... but I'm involved in another game and life is busy -_-

**lord commissar klimino**

The Bringer wrote:So much potential.... I'm really tempted to join this... but I'm involved in another game and life is busy -_-

i recommend joining soon. the sooner the better and you dont want to find out you are going to join later and have your area or whatever taken.

**lord commissar klimino**

great,but you need to put navar on the map. we also should label all countries an put indeptuses in something,erm,darker and easier to see...

**Toastedandy**

Edited

Is their anyway of having a small professional army and a big Trained army? It would fit with the ideas I have of them better.

Like a load of Merc pirates off raiding

But a small army of Professionals in the cities

Ogre and Giant Slaves FTW

**Nicholas**

Also don't know how to do the map, but we're based in Italy Sicily and those islands to it's left

**Kasrkai**

Guess I'll have to expand the military section.

I suppose you could have your Big Trained navy army, and then a smallish force of commando elites. That would make sense.

@Nicholas Your nation's focus on artillery has led me to give you crude cannons. Enjoy them.

Updating the map in a minute, I gave Naval the Italy and Sicily.

**ineptus astartes**

I think only ONE unique race per country (mine is orcs)
