It was a land. It had lords. It has a king. But he is a weak king, with no real power anywhere except his capitol. Become king, then gain supporters. Or kill the current king. Or...

Land: (What does your land look like, what resources does it have.)
Army: ( Please start this small, and don't feel like you have to use Stronghold units.)
Bio: (a biography of your charecter)
Region: (explained below)
Allies:
Enemies:

I retain the right too veto players. You can also be a mercenary, in which case you have no land, but maybe a small following of fellow mercenaries. Use your imagination.

Regions:

The Coast: High cliffs, beaches, constant raids, easy fishing, and easily defensible castles charecterize this place.

The Forest: Large amount of trees, plentifull deer, bandit attcks, hard to find keeps, and large wolf packs exist here.

The Plains: Large farmlands, few rocks, several rivers, easily attackable castles, and high trade/taxes are what this place is about.

The Hills: Plentifull mines, little game or farmland, plenty of stone, raids of nearby kingdoms, and easily defensible castles are here.

Every region has a council that every lord is on. Each year, they vote too see which (except for the plains which gets 3, or the Coast which gets 2) of them goes onto the Lords Council. They can not vote for themselves.

The Lords Council:

The Lords Council advises the king, and can set up new laws through a majority vote. In case of a tie, the king will break it. The Lords Council can also send people into exile, and, in the case of a unanimous vote, force the king to abdicate the throne, leading to an immediate vote, in which all lords vote in the There is no Lords council until year 2.

Exile:

When in exile, you control only your charecter, and his army. You can invade anywhere, without causing any political problems(ok not exacly). You can also re-conquer your estate and become a seperate kingdom, and then maybe get invaded.

Everyone can have 1 charecter, except me, who is also going to have too control the king. This limit maybe raised. No godmodding, like sayong I build 1,200 knights and 500 trebuchets in 1 month and take over the world. 1 month= 2 days. Good luck, and have fun.

I must thank the king for his excellent defenses. He has killed maybe 100 men, and I have seen over 700 of his men die. Right now I am using a crossbow. Please help break this siege. You must kill the king. He is a tyrant, with stupid knights.

Thank him? I think you meant 'praise him'.

Is the king in a castle? Just wondering.

If he is in castle, I'll send some catapults to take down the structure and maybe kill the king.

My army has begun to move against the King. He has been building large amounts of seige weapons to recapture his castle. I charged out of the castle during the night, and, after a short battle, I retreated. In the battle, I lost:

7 peasants equiped with swords.
3 mercenaries with spear and sheilds
8 axemen

However, I killed about 30 of his troops and managed to seriously damage 3 catapults. Quite a few of his engineers were also killed in the confusion.

My army is now:

Lord Loggan and his general. The general has a sword. I have a sharp sword and a sheild
The elite Pikeman
10 peasants armed with spears and shields
25 swordsmen with chainmail
22 axemen with chainmail, helmets and sheilds.
15 mecenaries with swords, sheilds and armour
10 spearmen
25 archers
10 skilled mercenaries with bows, swords and chainmail

We have set up several long range catapults. They can reach the encampment. Lord Loggan where do we launch the flaming stones.

The siege weapons were in near to the front of the cvamp, but I think that they will have moved them to the middle after my raid, so I would suggest that you fire into the center. Also, if we hit the center, it should kill more people and big lumps of burning stuff falling into the camp is going to have a very bad effect on enemy morale.
posted 03-05-06 11:06 EST (US)     267 / 299  
No, try and hit thier towers,, it would wound many of thier archers and anti-seige equipment.

Well, bfiring into the camp will probably damage their seige towers anyway (if they have any, my men didn't spot them). Also, the catapults pose more of a threat to us as they can damage our walls. We depend on these walls because our army is a lot smaller than the kings.

Fire at the center.

Release stones, fire at will.

* Massive stones with wood and oild on them go heading towads the enemy. Most are flaming*

Release the FIRE DEMON.

* A Huge pot of flaming oil is launched at the enemy. The ground around and inside the enemies camp burns, and many siege weapons and men are killed, along with there puny pallisade fortress.*

I have been inactive for quite a while, but now I'm back (that is, if someone employs me).
So, what do you say, lords? Do you need an extra hand fighting whoever you would be fighting?

Sand is overrated. It's just tiny little rocks.
