Welcome to Lords 27, I am your GM for this chaotic world set within the dark ages; my name is Chet S.
My Lords 27 GM address is: Lords27gm[at]throneworld[dot]com for orders and L27 stuff, and my L27 paypal address is: Lords27gm[at]throneworld[dot]com.
RULES: Starting in Turn 52 we will be using the newest version of V6 rules, please download new order form.
TURN FEE: $6.00 donation, and there is also a $6.00 donation for a startup fee for new players. Also I do not accept any personal checks as my bank charges me a $20 fee for any bounced checks that I deposit...(Cash, money orders & certified checks are ok.)
***TURN BALANCE: Any nation that reaches a NEGATIVE BALANCE OR DOES NOT HAVE AT LEAST A $6 BALANCE without making an arrangement with me will not be processed, and not sending orders in for three turns in a row (with or without payments and without a good reason), will force me open your country to a new player who has the time and money...
SWITCHING NATIONS: I have policy of no switching nations if your balance is in the red, until that negative balance is paid and you must also pay for one turn ahead so you're in the black.
***YET ANOTHER NEW ORDER FORM for Turn 53 and beyond (for v6.x.x rules) (old one used too much paper): Please use new orders form it has a for 6.x.x near the top, otherwise you are using the wrong sheet and need to download a new one from the file section of this site or at the L27 home site at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lords-27/files/L27_Excel_orders_template.xls If you do not have Microsoft Excel, there is a free version of Office called OpenOffice that will open, edit and save Excel file at: http://www.openoffice.org/
E-MAIL ADDRESS & TURN NUMBER: Make sure your e-mail address is right in your orders, that is the address the program will send your stat sheet to... and make sure that it has the right turn number too!
PLEASE SAVE YOUR ORDERS IN THIS ORDER NAME FORMAT:=è L27_T53_YourNationName.xls
***8.2 ACTION RANGE: You can conduct operations within (Action Range) Action Points of a region or city that you control at Non-Paying Tributary status or better. OR one of your Leader led armies may also serve as a base of operations (the Leader must have at least 1 point of troops). You can determine if a target area, person or object is within your Action Range by counting AP’s from your base of operations to the target as if a Leader of yours were moving through the intervening regions. Mountains and hostile terrain, therefore, inhibit action, while seas, rivers, roads help. In the case of Intel actions you do not have to pay an extra 1 AP for entering an uncontrolled region. PLEASE NOTE: For AO, DIB, DAB, etc, you must be with your action range of your enemy’s capital, not just their border, so in most case you must secret move a leader with at least 1 unit to within action range of his enemy’s capital and ES to locate the Intel or Assassin Op from him. Before I was easy going with this, but with V6 rules I am tightening it up, if you haven't noticed.
9.6.8.7
Consecrate Cathedral "A
Cathedral can be established from a Monastery in a city so long as
the Holy Site is within the Church's
Action Range from the Holy
City or another Cathedral." (Note:
Cathedrals may only be built in cities.)
***CULTIVATION & COLONIZABLE REGIONS RULES [see 5.4.14.1]: Starting in Turn 53 a region after cultivation can not be re-colonized 1gpv (from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3) unless that region started at ( / ) as in empty. {NOTE: A region enslaved to ( / ) does not count as started as empty, but it can be re-colonized back to it old gpv}.
PROJECTS: Do not put new or old projects in the builds section of the Order form; they only go in the new or existing projects section (with ID number),
***ORDER FORMS: Do not delete any part of the order form that you are not using, just leave the unused sections blank and do not add any page-breaks either, or write outsides the borders (your personal notes doubles the pages), you can add rows if needed and copy and paste if you need more space for leaders..
***TROOP BUILDS: If your leader is in the region already or will be in that region to pick up your newly built troops, don't build troops for the garrison and then have him pick them up, just build troops for him (NOTE: he still has to go and pick them up) BY PUTTING THE LEADER NUMBER IN THE ARMY NUMBER COLUMN IN THE BUILD SECTION!
ILLEGAL UNITS: In V6 of the rules you can only build certain units on the build list near the bottom of your stat sheet, if you build illegal units by mistake I will try to fix it the first turn, if you do it again in a second turn you will lose the gp and nfp.
***COMMAND CONTROL RADIUS: Is being enforced starting Turn 53, if your leader with or without troops (or fleet) goes outside it they will make a revolt check if their King is not with them, in L27 if they revolt they will become Mercenaries and you can DP them the next turn to try and get them back, the next turn after that they can be hired by anybody (Ruling will also extend your CCR and Crush revolt (CR) might keep a leader from revolting).
MERCENARIES: Remember that you MUST specify a city where you are hiring the Mercs. Failure to do this will result in no Mercs and the money being lost. Also, mercenaries may not be hired for more than one turn at a time. PLEASE put where you are hiring any mercenaries AND how many you are trying to hire AND how much you are willing to pay per point of troops in your builds section on the order form. PLEASE put this information in the notes section at the end of your builds. Otherwise you will not get the mercenaries and the GPs bid on them will be lost. ALSO Mercs must stay with a Merc leader that comes with them (M543) and goes in their own army section.
***CITIES
& FORTRESSES: IN
THE BUILD SECTION WHEN EXPANDING CITIES (AND BUILDING CPWBS) PLEASE
PUT JUST THE NAME OF THE CITY IN LOCATION, YOU DO NOT NEED THE
REGION NAME TOO. Also for WP for fortress always put the region in
for Location and for WP for cities always put in the city name for
location. Last but not least in the item column in the build section
do NOT
write out fully what your building please use the codes, for
example: your building 10 elite infantry, do NOT write "Build
10 elite infantry", instead write 10ei and do that for all
units and also put no space between 10 and ei (the lords program
reads it this way.). Also please use the abbreviations in the rules
for Intel commands (CI for counter intelligence, etc)
CLAIMED
& SHARED REGIONS & CITIES:
These regions and cities that are claimed will be noted by a dot in
your color, not a full color shading of the region, shared regions
have both of the colors of the sharing countries in a striped
pattern.
HEIRS AND PRINCES: Unless stated otherwise in your orders, when a King's male child comes of age he is promoted to Heir (if he has none, then grandson, then any male child in royal family). Likewise when any male child comes of age he is promoted to Prince if there is an opening.
PWBs: Please let me know if PWB are for a city or a region by putting a “c” or “r” in fount of it like this: 10rPWB.
TRANSPORTS (or Cogs): If transports built in build section are to be used for MSP, please put 10xt MSP in the build column, thanks.
LEADER NAMES: From now on if your leader has NO name he or she gets NO action…
LEADER (& ARMY) ACTIONS & MOVEMENT: You must state your leaders actions (A, AL, R, Rule, Etc) and their AP cost (and extra ap put into it), and their movements (all the regions traveled through) and movement AP cost, you cannot say go to a region and vanquish my enemy. You can say follow another leader’s orders, but the other leaders orders must be spelled out!!! (Otherwise any vague orders will not be done, as I don’t have the time to do it for you.) Note: It costs leaders and armies an extra action point to cross an uncontrolled border, if you don’t put it in than I will penalize you 2ap.
NEWSFAX BLURB: If you have the time, it would help me write the newsfax if you write a sentence or two or even a paragraph, and/or a summery on what your country and its leaders are trying to accomplish during the turn…Please put newsfax Blurb in your orders, not in the e-mail as I print out your orders, I do not print your e-mail it was attached to.
MAX TAX: is 1.5 in Turn 49 and beyond, as the world gets darker and resources become scarcer.
TRADE CAP: is now 75% of total income (which affects only the large empires) as the world gets darker still and trade become harder and more dangerous as merchant ships and caravans are being robbed or are disappearing without a trace.
SHIPS: Must end the turn in a port, if not in a port they lose 10% the first turn, 20% the second turn, 30% the third turn, etc (also you should have two leaders with a fleet so you don’t lose part of it if the leader dies)…
HC (Have Children): can only be combined with RULE and ADMINISTER in L27, otherwise it’s a separate action for your leader.
FLAGS: BTW I could use some more flags as over half of you don’t have one… (No flag, no country, just joking…lol)
MAX FIELD FORTS PER REGION: Field Fort units may be built in any controlled region. Field Forts built in Allied, Economic Allied, Feudal Allied, Tributary or Non-Paying Tributary region belong to the region, not to the `national' government (but can be used as `national' garrisons and still require support costs to be paid, where applicable). The maximum number of Field Forts that can be built by a position in a region is limited to: (GPv of the region +1) x (Siege QR/2) x Control Status Tax Multiple (Note in L27, if result is zero, then a region can have a max of 1 field fort, as long as you control it)Fractional forts round up to 1. Zero forts remain zero. The presence of a Field Fort in a region adds a +1 Movement Modifier to any enemy moving through the region. NOTE: Any region with over the Max in Field forts, the extra Field forts will be converted to Infantry.
RUTTERS TRANSFERRED: You need to list all the rutters that you are transferring in your notes section of your orders in order for them to be transferred (so I can copy and paste), or none will be transferred.
MAXIMUM STATUS FOR A REGION: I will enforcing the max status for a region by religion and by terrain located in tables 2-21 and 2-22 on page 22 in rule book 5.10 starting Turn 50, please let me know in your orders if any region’s status needs to be fixed.
THIN GOVERNMENT: If your nation is suffering from thin government, all regions and cities that are NOT at friendly status will have a revolt check starting Turn 50…
NAVIGABLE RIVERS: Rivers with hash marks are non-navigable in the hash marked area except for trade (routes, and internal & fishing fleets), canals and unmarked parts of rivers are navigable by any size ship…

Grandmaster Kazino ordered the navy expanded and had 21,000 cavalry trained, for he had decided that there had been peace for far too long and that the Samurai had grown soft. He ordered the attack to commence on the Korea peninsula. Elsewhere a leader investigating the Black Beast fared poorly and was killed and devoured by it.
The Korea Peninsula War [766 to ???]:
The Samurai landed unexpectedly in the region of Silla and swept up the Peninsula with little resistance from the Black Dragon, as it was kept busy with the Great Mongol Horde. They ended up in the region of Bandao; they performed regional genocide there and slaughtered thousands of its inhabitants unmercifully.
The mighty Emperor Tuoba Xiang Ri suddenly became ill and his hearth deteriorated quite rapidly despite the best of his court physicians help. He died in 768 at only 50 years old. His heir Tuoba Lu Ri succeeded him with no trouble except a horde invasion. Four leaders with three armies reacted and met the Great Mongol Horde at the great wall in Lu’An. Also a Prince who went to investigate the Black Beast in Wudan didn’t return and bandits from the Gobi desert raided the region of Ordos.
Emperor Lui Chen had the Imperial fleet expanded, which is usually a good idea, except when a horde is bearing down on you. The Imperial Army was joined by a Shaolin Monk and Buddhist armies and planed to form a last stand in the region of Tsainan. But an unbelievable defense by the Black Dragons in Lu’an allowed Honans, Buddhist and Shaolin time to come to the Black Dragons aid. Meanwhile a pair of leaders with a large fleet set sail to stop the Hindu costal raiding.
Grandmaster Qui Chang built up and waited for the right moment…Bandits were defeated in Tangchou by a Honan Army.

Lord Captain Hu Di II said ‘Shiver me timbers, we should try our hand at raiding, we are pirates after all”. But surprisingly the Lord Captain stayed behind to rule and sent his heir with his Lord Captain’s fleet to raid Indonesia. By the time the Heir returned, the Lord Captain Hu Di II was dead, a jug of Indonesia wine by his head at the grand old age for a pirate of 66. The Heir Hu Zun Mee wasn’t planning to return the fleet to his father, so his father’s death was very convenient for him. He succeeded his father although he had to throw an objector into the drink. He then made his eldest son his heir.
The Kerasen Kha-Khan issued no orders and his horde did nothing.
No orders received.
The great Khan Mongu the Mighty accepted a deal with the Hindus to make a trip into the heartlands of China and eradicate Honan. They easily took Parhae, and then strolled through Liao-Tung, their first major challenge was to get over the great wall at Lu’an.
The Horde Invasion of China [766 to ???]:
The invasion ran literally ran smack into a wall, a great wall that is. The Mongols outnumbered the Black Dragons almost 9 to 1, but an extraordinary heroic defense by the Black Dragons of their great wall, fighting almost to the last man kept the Mongols at bay until Honan, Buddhist and Shaolin reinforcements arrived to even things up. After failing to get over the Great wall with 9 to 1 advantage, the Khan didn’t even think of trying it with both armies at equal strength, so he withdrew back to Parhae.

Emperor Hu Ying Er ruled and mourned the dearth of his young luscious wife Hu Ying Tai who accidentally cut her self and the wound would not stop bleeding until she was dead. A leader was given a good chunk of the Emperor’s army with orders to react from the homeland. Other forces were sent on the move against despicable Champa.
The Hu vs Champa War [746 - ?]: (Buddhist vs Hindu war)
766:
The Hindu task force Dacoit wasn’t joined by the Hindu East Afriqan fleet or the Rajput fleet, but none the less it was still shockingly huge. Dacoit numbered 1368 ships; it raided up and down the Buddhist’s coastline unmatched in its prowess. Even although it was surprised by a Honan fleet of 676 ships in Dongsha Hai while raiding and it easily wiped out half the Honan fleet and sent the rest scrambling away in defeat like a bunch of cockroaches exposed to the light. All in all it ruled the seas, but it took considerable losses to do so. Meanwhile there was no sign of the Buddhist Temple ships.
The Hindus after mostly reuniting Champa the year before went on the defensive with one army in the West on react and another in the East to defended the Champa homeland, with yet a third army in the Champa capital. They were expecting another attack by Hunan and the Hunan didn’t disappoint them. A small Hunan army augmented by mercs entered the homeland region of Champa; it was more like a scouting force and was easily driven back. None the less that caused the Western Army of about 40,000 to react, but before it could get to the Champa homeland, a larger Hunan army of about 60,000 arrived and a battle began for control of the Champa homeland vs the Eastern army (had battle assistance) of about 45,000. The Champa Eastern Army stood firm and drove the Hunan Army back into Mison is disarray. Afterwards about 25,000 Hunans laid dead (and one leader wounded) to only about 5,000 Champans.
767:
The Hunan army in Mison licked it wounds and knew after losing almost half its army that it couldn’t attack again, while the Tonkin Army came down from Annam to help defend Mison fearing a counterattack. But the rest of the year was quiet as was 768, and 769.
770:
The Eastern army followed Asamakara orders and counterattacked to attempt to retake Mison, while the Western Army remained in the region of Champa. The overconfident Eastern Army was almost completely wiped out by the Hunan and Tokin force (that suffered considerable losses in the process).
Although Primate Sin was felling quite poorly, he ordered the rebuilding the remains of the Buddhist fleet, by building 232 new light warships. Meanwhile an archbishop died during an invasion of Silla by the Kannagara, and a bishop was killed trying to incite a revolt in Hainan. The Buddhist army was in Funiu ready to react to any invasions or raids on the coastline, and it reacted to the horde and headed north. The Buddhist overthrew the Shinto minority on the island of Cheju Do.
(See the Hu vs Champa War [746 - ?])
Overlord Tri Utvadilya stayed in his homeland with his army and leaders on react waiting and made a deal with Hunan that if it defeated Champa, Tonkin could take over the Champa homeland. His Intel corps thwarted an Asamakara kidnapping attempt on the Overlord, after a failed assassination attempt by a Sauras agent.
(See the Hu vs Champa War [746 - ?])
Emperor Kahilk was going to pick his brother as the new heir, but his advisors talked him out of it. So he waited until his eldest son came of age and held a grand cerebration. Meanwhile a leader named Tejalg died after leaving Sri Lanka after a diplomatic mission there; he disappeared without a trace crossing the Palk Strait. A pair of leaders with each their own fleet, one mighty, the other mighty small were sent to join up with Task Force Dacoit in the gulf of Tonkin. Emperor Kahilk took his army and marched to Aceh to bring it back in line. When he returned home he was enrage to find out that the Pirates had raided most of his Empire’s regions and had the gall to even raid his homeland while he was gone.
(See the Hu vs Champa War [746 - ?])
Emperor Tri Indravarman felt good about reuniting most of his Empire with the help of his Hindu friends, but then good feeling didn’t last too long when he barely escaped a daring kidnap attempt by the Buddhist, which was foiled by the ever vigilant royal Intel corps. Also bad was that the Rajput forces dispersed in the region of Champa and the Rajput Armada didn’t show up. Emperor Tri Indravarman led the Western army on react from its base in western Champa, so he wasn’t at home when the Hu showed up.
(See the Hu vs Champa War [746 - ?])
The Primate Tri Subadar in his seventies still was admiral of the Temple’s fleet and this time it was part of Task force Dacoit with a couple of his leaders. The rest of his leaders were out establishing new sites.

Emperor Natraj caught his wife in bed with another man! For this, he had the man executed and he his wife banished! The Emperor was in a pretty foul mood after that and refused to eat, despite the protest of his court, and unbelievably died of starvation at age 60. His eldest son Crown Prince Akhtag succeeded him with no troubles. A leader with an army took control of the city of Saravi and pacified it; he would do the same in Kalinga but failed to take its city and its fortress so was unable to keep control the region.
Emperor Harsha issued no commands or imperial edicts. There was a rumor that the Hu Army had abandoned their post in Nan Chao to go and finish off the Champans. Palas also became the first country to convert to the Hindu Temple of Sauras, but a island and few cites refused to convert and thus revolted..
No orders received…

Patriarch Auga was concern about the below average rainfall for the pass five years that had left the Euphrates and Tigris rivers at their lowest levels in a hundred years. The drought was so bad that food production was halved. He feared that Persia and his Church would get a taste of the starvation that had plagued Volga-Kana (Parthian). Unfortunately he didn’t live to see the day, he died peacefully in his sleep a few days after his 66th birthday. Buni was elected Patriarch by an enclave of bishops.
ShahanShah Kavadh II died of the whooping cough (along with two royal family members and a prince) leaving his enormous army leaderless. Heir Kavadh III succeeded him with no problem while staging a lavish funeral for his father. Afterwards he promoted his son the intellectual and gifted Kavadh IV to become his heir with a grand ceremony. And there was much rejoicing. The strengthening the defenses of the Empire continued with 13 more fortresses springing up. There was some success converting Dubai by missionaries, but missionaries to Al’Riadyh managed to offend almost all of the people that mattered, so that all progress was lost and it was back to square one.
The Farohars of Ahura-Mazda
The Grandmaster Chamrav decided to take command of the army for the first time in his life and was ready to protect all of his Order’s nearby sites in Parthian with his life. Meanwhile he had some of his leaders to build some new order houses.
Sultan Kurav was very troubled about an illness that killed two members of the royal family (one was wife of the Heir), two leaders and a prince. The people were starting to call it the Scarlet Royal Curse which left its victims with scarlet faces. Prince Shopur was successful on one of two diplomatic missions before slumping to the Curse at the way to the third. The Royal Heir Crown Prince Orvad and a leader took the fleet and went sea serpent hunting, although they found it they couldn’t fully engage it and ended up playing a game of cat and mouse, while suffering minor losses (it might had been helpful if they had some marines aboard). On returning home to port Crown Prince Orvad openly wept at the news of his wife’s death.

Emperor Mathew despised dealing with the lowly merchants and their sullied affairs while he resumed ruling. While the Heir had ruled quite well, he was given new duties of protecting the Empire to sharpen his military skills with the command of a good size army. News worthy was that a sole leader exploring new sea zones in only a couple light warships never returned, rumor had it that he fell victim to some pirates, and many miles of new roads were built in quite a few regions. Also a small meteor landed in the region of Cuyutec with devastating results.
K’uhul Ajaw Pacal was crown Emperor of the Maya on top one of the world’s largest pyramid just outside of Chichen Itza.

High Lord Captain Magnus Troil Sparrow ordered some transports and light warships built, feeling a little old (in his sixties) he give 2/3 of his fleet to one of his younger leaders to use to protect his pirate realm (surprisingly the leader didn’t revolt.). The High Lord ruled and made his oldest son his heir at a great feast in the summer of 770.
King Stephan ruled and declared his oldest son Remnick the heir to the throne of the Vandals, and all the troops declare for Remnick at a grand coronation. At the outskirts of the party sat a chubby kid that Remnick’s Twin who was named Wetherby and was younger by a minute, he had a tear stained face that were not tears of happiness. Meanwhile trade was started with the Maya’s at their newly built port on the Miskito Sea. Also a leader who had some success with the pirates in Caraca and was able to understand them was surprisingly found with his throat cut in Caracas’s harbor.
Patriarch Alphonse again issued no orders, among signs that a change was coming.

Aim
at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly
far
higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with
yourself.
