LORDS OF THE EARTH
CAMPAIGN ELEVEN
Turn #48 Industrial Stage Zero
1136-1140 Anno Domini Medieval Era
Gamemaster: Thad Plate
Next Turn's Orders are due Monday, February 23rd, 1998 
ANNOUNCEMENTS

UNIT CONSTRUCTION: I am now following all unit construction costs in the 5.5 version of the Rulebook (Table 13-4, page 113) except that elite units cannot be built unless you are Tech 6 or have a special, historically based exemption.  As a result all unit costs have changed.  This is a rundown on the build costs of basic units for each culture type in this game.  As a rule of thumb, light units cost 1 GP less, heavy units cost 1 GP more, elite units cost double NFP & GP and  inexperienced units cost 1/2 normal GP cost.

UNIT CONVERSION:  I will assume all units to be regular.  However, if you wish you may want to convert your units to heavy & light.  You can convert 2 regular units to 1 heavy and 1 light, this is the only way you can get heavy units from your existing pool.  You can convert any or all of your regular units to light.  The deadline for this special type of conversion will be Turn #10 of Lords 12 & Turn #50 of Lords 11.

ADVANCED TACTICS WITH THESE NEW UNITS:  There will be rewards for players who can come up with a right combination of military units for their armies before battles.  The type of units will have various effects based on the terrain that you are in.  Light units move faster and can screen slower units.   Light cavalry is great for the open field.  Light infantry works well in mountains and fortified areas.  Light units are most likely to get slaughtered in sieges and open battles.  Heavy units inflict greater damage but moves slower and can be ambushed by lighter units in close terrain.  Heavy cavalry is the best open field unit you can build. Heavy infantry can repulse cavalry charges well and inflict the best damage against lighter infantry.

ADVANCED TACTICAL ATTACKING ORDERS: If you define your battlefield tactics, you will get a (sometimes substantial) bonus in battle because I will assume that all armies with undefined orders will be in an undisciplined mob.
    Example: The Byzantines with their force of regular cavalry with light and elite infantry auxilliaries have defined their battle formation as "Two ranks with extensive flankguards and skirmishers".  In battle, they encounter the Pechnegs in grassy terrain who with their almost exclusively light cavalry force use "hit and run until enemy can be encircled".  In the battle the Byzantine back line and flankguards prevent the encircling noose and thus cause the Turks to rout.

NEW ACTION, DELEGATE AUTHORITY: If you wish to have your leaders act intelligently (and show initiative) rather than carry out your orders by rote, you may wish to Delegate Authority (DA) for part or the entire turn (minimum, 6 months).  Delegating Authority does have an effect on the loyalty of your leader.  Leaders with total stats that exceed the king's will become less loyal.  Otherwise, they will become more loyal over time.  How intelligent the leader acts in military situations is, of course, based on their leadership.

NEW STAT SHEET FEATURES:  With the coming of the Version 5.5 Revisions, I have been at work updating the stat sheet program:
    Homeland Income: The regional Gold Point income of your homeland has been doubled.  This is regional GPv only, not the PWB.
    Road and Port Spacer Code:  I have added '*' as the spacer code for those cities which are both road cities and port cities (The 5.5 Rulebook states that the spacer code is a '+').
    Road Count:  This is now an automated feature which counts all road cities (r), road and port cities (*) and inland capitals (c).
    Road Income Formula: The Road Income formula is now = (Road Count)2/2.

WORLD MAPS:  These will be available on demand for anyone this turn for $5.00.  If you just want the Old World, the cost will be $3.50 and the New World is $1.50 by themselves.  They will be updated and corrected to the latest turn published.

COLOR MAPS:  Hemispheric, Old World or New World.  Shows what regions are owned by each nation.  These are $3.00 each and must be mailed.

CULTIVATED REGIONS: All cultivated regions can be colonized to 2 Gpv. If you can somehow get a region intensely cultivated, you can then colonize it to 3 Gpv.

DIPLOMACY RESULTS: (ne)=no effect.

RELIGION OPS - Convert Pagan Chief (cpc): You can convert a neutral heathen region to your religion instead of having to resort to all those MW's. If your world religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindu) can convert a pagan chief, the region will automatically follow.

MERC POOLS:  All areas of the world have available for hire as mercenaries, 10hi, 10i, 10c, 10w.  Minimum bid is .5 GP per unit, 1 GP for the heavy units.  Mercenaries assume the QR of your nation.

COLOR CODED NATION HEADERS: The Colors coded on each nation represents your technology level.  GREY is Tech 1 & 2,  BLUE is Tech 3, RED is Tech 4, GOLD is Tech 5, GREEN is Tech 6, AQUAMARINE is Tech 7, PURPLE is Tech 8, BROWN is Tech 9 and OLIVE is Tech 10.

THE SERENE PALACE OF THE GREATER WHEEL
Bao-Kong, Abbot Grandmaster of the Serene Palace, Bodhisattva of Chan Mahayana
    Grandmaster Pin died in 1139.  He was only 35.  He had left unresolved issues in his wake.  There had been a rift between the priests on doctrinal issues.  A growing movement, based on Daoism, became less respectful of the direction that the Serene Palace had taken.  So there was a breakdown of authority.  Soon, as the new abbot-grandmaster, Bao-Kong, made himself known, many shrines, temples and sanctuaries broke away from Chiangling's lead.  Many closed down, enriching local magnates.  Others just became independent or adhered to a different sect.  By the end of 1140, the Serene Palace held sway over the following temples and shrines: Honan, Houma, Hupei, Kansu, Kweichou, Pei Huang, Shangtung, Shensi, Shentung, Szechwan, Tungchuan, Kwangtung, Nan Chao, Changan, Chengdu, Hsiang and of course, Chiangling.

THE GREAT TAVOK HORDE (Cherkassy, Xi Xia, Tangut, Jark)

    Layaidu's final years were ones of flourish.  He took the 215,000 Tangut hordesmen and allies, all cavalry, on a sack, burn, pillage, rape and destroy tour of Central Asia.  The Tavoc looted Karatou, destroyed its fortress, sacked and burned Kyzl-Orda, looted Khokhand, reduced Alma-Ata to rubble, destroyed the Ferghana citadel and looted the region.  Having injured the Samanids, the horde then razed Kashgar and looted Yarkhand.  After all these years of happiness and global trotting, Khan Layaidu died in Tarim and his body was burned on a tiered platform.  His personality was all that held the Tavok alliance together.  Loyaidu's son, Tolu and Khotat were not well accepted.  A sub-commander within the horde, Hokshoi, succeeded in overthrowing the sons and two other contenders.  About 25,000 Tangut hordesmen died in the fighting.  The Yehabsh and the Damchog allies defected, returning to the steppe idyll.  The Ilhand and 'Anipsai stuck around to see what this new Khan had in mind.  The Xi Xia numbers are now down to less than 160,000 mounted men.

THE SAMANID EMIRAT OF BUKHARA

    The Samanids suffered once more from horde attack.  The Tavok remapaged through Karatou, Khokhand and Ferghana stealing everthing that wasn't nailed down.  Two cities were lost.  Three citadels burn in ruins.  The Central Asian economy plummeted with all this looting going on.

THE NAFA WIZARAT OF ID
Nafa ad-Din Amman ir Saleem, Wizare al Id, Regent for the Emirat of Almaghreb and Alandalus
    Marco was truly the last of the Ids.  He died in 1036 from poison goose.  Amman ir Saleem also known as Nafa, his vizier (or wizare) proclaimed that the Idrisid Emirat was henceforth vacant (for no one could be found that that the characteristic Idrisid big nose).   The Maghreb would be rule by a Wizare.
    Nazir Ehri while in Toledo suddenly became aware of his hidden heritage, that he was a Prince of the Ummayad family.  His rebellion deprived Id of almost all of their Andalusian possessions.  Only Granada was left in Nafa's hands.
    In Mahidia, Lord Earl was visited by a silver tongued Sicilian diplomat.  Earl politely told the delegate that Africa was a friendly province of Id and cannot be diplomacized away.  The Sicilian didn't believe him but left anyway.

Kemal, Amir al Balerum
DIPLOMACY: Africa(ne, f to Id), Ad Diffah(ne)
    Sina did not cherish the idea of ruling Coptic Iksander so he made an announcement to the world:
    "Some time ago the Sultan of Aleppo granted the regions of
Egypt, Faiyum and Thebes to Sicily in exchange for assistance
in their war against the Zaidis and the Nubians.  Since the war
ended before our troops could reach the front, we will honor
our agreement with our Muslim brothers and grant those regions
back to the Sultan of Aleppo.  Verily, God is gracious to the
trustworthy.  Praise be to God, the ruler of the worlds."
    Meanwhile Prince Kemal arrived to Iksander and freed the city.  He had hoped that Karimid troops would come by and claim their prize - but none arrived.  Iksandr returned to Nubian allegiance.  Egypt became neutral.  He marched the 30,000 infantry, 3000 engineers through Ad Diffah to Barqa.
    MAP: Palermo grew.

    In the fall of 1137, Magyar slave raiders, badly disguised as Castillian raiders attacked Liguria, but were all destroyed by the mighty Roman army.  Vigilius was aghast but expected such an underhanded action in these times.  He died in 1140.
