as I have said before, I have not ended my turn. now I will.

Ok JJ, but you have not said where you want to move your army...or do you not want to move at all?

Ahmed IV wrote:Didn't you notice the lines between them?

Which one of those green places did you start from?

Oh I thought I started from all of them

I'll start on the one bordering the purple region ...

Well you do, but that genral can't be everywhere lol.
Other generals are in other regions.
Ok, it should take you about 3 turns to reach Constantinople...agree?

Pried your turn.

umm i confused can you clarify for me a bit?

Well look at your map.

Take an army with or without a general (General armies are stronger)

And move to a place to conquer.

Or you can send diplomats or spies to other places...

Or you can train assassins.

so it would be your turn, Ahmed, after pried's, right?

It would but Pried didn't go yet

ok, so we are waiting for him.

So what's confusing you Hassan?

first of all, how do I know if my attack was successful?

Well I'll add it up using this formula.

"Battle calculations will be made as follows: Number of Troops + (General's command x 50)+ army stats...I made this up, so if anyone has a better way of calculating please do tell me!"

I'll take France if no1 has taken it yet. I hope it comes with free crumpets!

so do I calculate now?

You didn't attack yet Hassan.

You just said you move North.

Metal:

France is the ideal example of the feudal system, providing a military force for the king. The greatest problem with the French kingdom is the complete lack of unity within it. The Normans have taken England and aren't looking back while various other provinces are rebelling against French rule, subduing these is the first step to generating a decent powerbase in Europe to counter the threat of the Holy Roman Empire to the east. England, Spain, Portugal and Milan are also potential threats, so France must be able to fight on multiple fronts. France's strangths are their heavy cavalry and good infantry in the late period, but in the early period, they have particularly poor infantry.

Starting out with:

Paris (Large Town, Capital) - Town Guard, Small Church, Town Hall, Corn Exchange, Roads
Toulouse (Castle) - Stables, Bowyer, Port
Angers (Wooden Castle) - Stables
Marseille (Town) - Town Watch
Rheims (Town) - Land Clearance, Town Watch

You aslo start out with 8000 florins

Initial Generals:

King Philip the Chivalrous (40, Faction Leader) - 5 Command, 4 Dread, 3 Authority, 4 Piety
Prince Louis (21, Faction Heir) - 6 Command, 4 Dread, 5 Loyalty, 3 Piety
Guillemot de Lyon (32, General) - 4 Command, 1 Dread, 5 Loyalty, 3 Piety
Raoulet Poitevin (40, General) - 3 Command, 0 Chivalry/Dread, 5 Loyalty, 3 PietyMichiel (2, Junior Family Member)
Henry (1, Junior Family Member)

Inital Agents:

Aubert Fébre (20, Spy) - 3 Subterfuge
Étienne Tristram (37, Cardinal) - 5 Piety
Constance (19, Princess) - 5 Charm

Inital Troops:

General's Bodyguard - 5
Crossbow Militia - 1
Peasant Archers - 10
Spear Militia - 8
Town Militia - 1
Mailed Knights - 2
Sergeant Spearmen - 6

ok, so do I wait ill my next turn to attack?

No...because if you looked at the map, there is a rebel settlement on top of you...so you could get that or keep on walking.

ok, so can I retake the rebel settlement by the group which I sent?

Sure next turn though.

Its prieds, then metals, then my turn...

BTW the rebel city ontop of you is "York" and it has 2 Peasant groups, 3 Crossbowmen, 1 spearmen.

And you need to first seige the city with ram-thing, or ladders, or tower. Unless of course if you have artillery such as cannons.

ill attack that green spot separating my to black blobs with Leopold equipped with General's Bodyguard - 2
Spear Militia -5
Peasants - 2
Peasant Archers - 6
also what siege items can i recruit/ what units?

oh, ok. Thanks for this info

That "green spot" is part of Milan-I hate them so darn much . Also that city is called "Milan" ...Milan's other city is Genoa.

NOTE: There are 2 green places for Milan...they are right next to each other.

Anyhow, as I said before you coudl only have 1 General's body gaurd (Which is basically of group of cavalary) per general.


It'll take you 2 turns to get their Pried.

You can't recruit any seige (artillery) units right now (its too early)...but you can use rams, ladders and towers...it takes 1 more trun to prepare them though.

In Milan it has Duke Giorgio (54, Faction Leader) - 3 Command , 2 Italian spear militia, 1 mailed knight, 1 peasant archer. Right next to Milan, there is Cristoforo Rossi (35, Family Member) - 2 Command, 1 spear militia and 1 peasant archer.

NOTE: If you seige Milan and attack, both of them will be attacking you since they are right next to each other. Therefore Cristoforo will act as reinforcements to the Duke.

I got an idea!!!

I'll post pictures of here of the campaign map that has some places, I will hopefully find pictures that will sum up all the places:

Here is one for you Hassan:


**You said you are going up to York

Here is one for Sayf, since he planning to conquer the Constainople:



Metal and Pried:




**That pictures has Milan on the side Pried.

thanks for this, Ahmed
