Announcements

IMPORTANT: I found a bug in the stat database dealing with Feudal Allies. The program was incorrectly figuring out how much troop support was. Instead of multiplying the FA’s support cost by 0 (making FA troops free) it was multiplying the support cost by –10. The end result was that some people had a negative troop support. Some people may notice a jump in troop support because of this correcting. If you are one of those people contact me, we will work something out.

If you know of anyone who is looking to join a game, send them to me. ;> I’d like to get some of the newly opened nation filled, as well as some not so apparent positions filled also.

Rules Errata and Reminders

Homelands: Homelands now produce double tax rate, as per the new LOTE 5.6 rule set.

Tithe Income: If you are paying a tithe to a Religious Primate and the rate of the tithe is less than 5% then there is no effect to you; you do not lose any money. If the rate of the Tithe is greater than 5%, then you lose 1% of Tax Rate for each percentage point of the tithe over 5.

Elite troops: They are available to be built/trained when you achieve tech level 5 or greater, this represents how well your troops are versed in combat

Slaves on ships: After some thought and discussions there is a change on slaves and their movements. While on Transports or warships, the ships will move their normal BAC a turn, instead of the 2 BAC that slave’s get.

Rastrakutas - ¤
The Grand Pooba, Finder of the Weird, Teacher of the Hindu Way, Savior of the Gurjara Nation
Diplomacy: None

Pooba was meditating late one night when a voice came from behind him and asked ‘What question may I answer for you’?

Pooba turned and saw, Agni the messenger of the gods, with two faces which are smeared with butter, seven fiery tongues and sharpened, golden teeth. His skin was red in color, with black eyes and wild, black hair. With his seven arms and three legs, and seven rays of light emanate from his body, there could be no mistaking him for anyone else.

‘Great Agni, I am troubled by the evils that lurk in the darkness, slithering forth at night and subverting the weak. I long for a way to remove these blights and protect the innocent from their siren call. Have you any advice on how to do so?’

‘You have but to ask’

Odgen, Allah’s chosen, Follower of the truth, Grand Illuminator
Diplomacy: None

Odgen repopulated the regions of Bokhara, Ferghana, Kara-Khitai, and Otrar that the Samanids depopulated when they ran away so many years ago. Some concern about the Mongolian Horde caused the military ranks to swell with young men ready to defend their nation, if they headed this way.

The room was bare now that everything of importance had been removed. The elegant paintings, and plush carpeting, the golden candle holders and Ivory nick knacks gone. Just the plain brick fireplace and an old table with some chairs remained.

"What are we going to do now? Surely you can’t expect to rebuild with everyone’s attention focused on us", the little man had asked.

"No, you are right, but I have finally figured out why so many people know so much about us. I have it on good authority that there is a spy on our midst."

"Who do you think…"

There was a loud crack from the little man’s neck, as the assassin, who had been waiting for his cue, sneaked up behind him and broke his neck.

"Why you, of course"

Buryat - n
Bantu, Terror of the Sunni’s, Sacker of Baghdad, Get of Satan.

Norse Christian Church - T
Father Elrich
Diplomacy: Vestfold (AB), Kiev (AB), Ladoga (AB), London (CA), Sussex (MN)

Elrich continued building slowly but steadily his church. Rognvald, King of the Norse sent workers to the church for gold. Workers were also sent from Ragnar, King of the Rus.

Bishop Reinhard was attempting to make the leaders of Ponthieu convert to Norse Christian when an assassin tried to kill the leader. Reinhard jumped on the assassin and was killed saving the leader. The region was so impressed by his act that they converted and even celebrate the day he died in honor of him.

"To all nations, especially those who have not had the support of an active primate, I bid thee greetings and a proclamation that may be of interest to you. As many of you know those who follow the Norse Church raid many regions, both rich and poor, we do not discriminate on wealth. However I can prevent them from raiding you. Yes you can live in peace and not worry about the Vikings anymore. How you ask, or maybe at what cost? We will not raid regions that follow our faith. Convert and you will know not only peace on Midgard, but you will know peace when you die and ascend into Valhalla. The choice is not only yours, but simple"

Norse - T
Rognvald Hrolfgarson, Lord of Amlodhi’s Quern, Dragon of the North
Diplomacy: Connaught (EA)

The Mercenary Angus was offered not only a beautiful bride, but also a dower, how could he resist? He is now a Prince of the Norse.

Rognvald was pacing back and forth on the royal balcony. "How DARE those slobs form a nation, don’t they know that they are our to tax?"

The bean counter, in a high squeaky voice answered "Sir, its Slav’s not slobs, and they aren’t part of our nation to tax"

Rognvald stopped in his tracks and looked at the fellow, a short man, from Rome, or so he said. "Slob’s, Slav’s what’s the difference. As far as taxing, we raid them so one else wants to because they are poor, so you see, they pay us to protect them. Get it?"

The Roman tax collector felt a headache starting from listening to this logic and gave up "Yes my lord, I understand it now."

"Good, now be a good geek and fetch me my advisors, its time to put those Slob’s back in their place"

Hrafnkell was in command o1f the Norse army. With 29,000 Infantry, 10,500 Bowmen, 4,500 Light Infantry, he stormed into Poland and tried to get the leaders to listen to him, and to join the Norse peacefully. Which they didn’t, they were firmly committed to Poland. Hrafnkell then attacked and pacified Poland and the city of Jal. Next he and his army entered Little Poland and nearly fell off his horse laughing at what he saw. The Pol’s had beaten off the Rus and their small army (10,500 Infantry and 2,000 Heavy Cavalry) was waiting for the Norse.

The Battle for Poland was short and sweet with the Polish army being decimated while the Norse lost 3,000 light Infantry, 2,000 Bowmen, Prince Siglunda, and Prince Giorm. After their victory they looted Little Poland, the army broke up and looted the following regions; Volhyina, Bialoweza, Masuria, Kauyavia, Lausatia, Pomern, and Pomerania.

While the army was beating the Polish nation down, the navy raided Danzig, Prussia, and Musa. They met up together in Danzig and returned to Kaupang.

Slavic Kingdom of Poland - W

Kingdom of Aquitaine - W
King Fillipo, King of Spain, rightful ruler of the Spanish Empire
Diplomacy: Orleans (EA), Anjou (T), Aragon (F), Catalonia (Freed), Valencia (Freed), Lyonnais (T)

Fillipo pieced his nation back together, again. The Idrisids left Catalonia and Valencia and returned home.

The only snag happened in Provence where Feratio was ran out of the region by the Roman leader who was involved in negotiations with the local nobles when Feratio arrived.

Jabo finally got around to producing an heir, much to the relief of his father Fillipo.

The peasants in Aquitaine were impressed by the Sunni wise men that were sent at the request of the Idrisids

Frankish Kingdom of Germany - U
Sebatian, Duke of Verona, King of the Germans
Diplomacy: None

Maxmillian passed away late in 976AD in his bed trying to produce another child. Many court members had great laughs over this.

Diplomacy: Lombardy (T), Provence (A), Spoleto (F), Campania (F)

Trade was opened to the Germans in Verona, and the trade rout with the Byzantine’s was expanded.

Richardo’s son and heir took a wife from the locals in Lombardy in an attempt to get them to join the nation, which they were very impressed with, but the honeymoon put a damper on their willingness to join the Republic.

The ally from Liguria and his troops had fun chasing the leader from Aquitaine out of Provence.

Byzantine Empire - W
Emperor Alexandra, Destroyer of the Catholics
Diplomacy:

Alexandra's ally from Pontis was on his way to meet the Emperor when a dirty fellow who had not bathed in a long time handed him a scroll and ran off in the crowed. Curious the ally unrolled the scroll and started to read it. Later the same ally was frothing at the mouth and went insane.

In Cyprus the population is now 75% Eastern Orthodox, and 25% Zoastrian. Missionaries in Sicily did not fair as well, some converted, but must became hostile and would run the missionaries out of town.

"Who does he thing he is dealing with? This barbarian from Russia dares to raids the mighty Byzantine Empire? Not only that he also raids the mighty Buryat. He must be insane. Scary! Come hither and take this down, it may be time we approach our neighbor to the east and see if we can perhaps work together to rid ourselves of this Rus Viking."

In the end the Rus retreated with 1500 Light Cavalry, and 2,000 Light Infantry, while the Poles celebrated loosing only 3,000 Cavalry.

Prince Oleg while in Tver died while in talks with the ruling class on having them fully join the Rus. Lieutenant Sigurd did not wake up in July of 975AD; he died at the age of 70.

Somewhere in the Black Sea…

Erick was sitting uneasily in his chair looking at troop movement reports from around the sea. Too many troops were moving around for him to guess where he may be able to get some easy gold. Just then he saw something moved from the corner of his eye. Slowly he moved his head so he was looking right at the area where the movement happened.

"You may as sow yourself, for I know you are there"

A short man, clad in black from head to toe came out of the shadows and in a smooth and flowing motion a knife suddenly flew forth from his hand. Erick dove to the floor to try to avoid the knife, but the knife struck his arm. Erick pulled his sword from the sheath but suddenly he could not muster the strength to stand. As darkness rushed into his eyes the last thing he felt was his body being picked up and moved.

A short time later the captain of the ship came down to find Erick, but he wasn't there.

"I do not know, but they may have had their hands in the death of Boris. From your description I would guess that they are from Asia somewhere, perhaps as near as India, or as far as China. As to what they may have been seeking, that is anyone’s guess, perhaps they thought he had something they need, but who knows? We may need to change our plans with these new foes in the game"

Mathew looked to the north on the Nile and did not like what he saw, nor did the east or west look promising.
