• All troops mentioned above in Village A(50 infantry, 13 archers, 2 healers) March North to take the village. I suppose this is a 1 day march also?
  

Argh... You did not miss a day. Other people took an extra day, which I ignored, at least for today, or at least I hope so...

No, you don't lose the weapons unless your whole army dies, or most of them. I'll say if you do.
Delran, unless those are throwing axes, ranged cavalry can't equip them(I know they technically could, but I don't want you to have a single type of troop, there'd be no real strategy in this otherwise). Weapons and troops that can equip them are on the first page.

[Yes, but he also said only infantry could use axes. Cavalry, therefore, cant.]

[[Then Ignore my second post for now :D ]]

[[Edit; We all posted within 2 minutes of eachother :S ]]

[Crossbows that cost 50 gold. And when you said that we can equip troops with weapons, I thought that I can give them armor, shields, lances and swords for example.]

[I assume its impossible to use weapons you just bought in combat ;-)]

After they noticed it was a big group of Wargs, they waited for their leader to give orders. They were trained
to do so...

"A circle... form a circle!", The leader shouted. "Bucklers close to eachother, Closer!" "I want a second line defending from the incoming wargs"
ANd so the circle was sete up, A single circle, with a double wall facing the wargs. If the wargs charge at on side, the soldiers left alon come in to help.

[[OOC: Fine, I'll post my standing orders in each and every post! :-( ]]

Name/Race: Septim, Human
Villages/Towns/Cities: 1 village
Income: 100 gold
Gold: 0
Troops: 100 Infantry - armed with bronze longswords
             5 Archers - armed with rowan longbows
             20 infantry - armed with copper longswords
Weapons: 100 bronze longswords, 100 copper longswords, 100 rowan longbows
Armor: none
Mounts: none

-Septim sends two groups of twenty five out to seek and destroy traders. Their orders are to sneak into the camp and kill the soldiers and the traders in their sleep rather than fight them in the day.
-Septim has the other 75 men (70 infantry, 5 archers) guard the village against any attacks that may come.

Delran, 4 infantry were killed in the first army(1 group, 17 merchants), and 4 in the second(1 group, 16 merchants). You got 250 gold, a pony and three horses.
Adrastos(No, you cannot put the infantry on the pony and horse), 5 infantry lost in the first army(Derront/port town)(1 group, 21 merchants), 25 infantry lost from yesterday, 3 more today. (1 group, 16 merchants). The merchants were in fact well prepared, having heard rumours about ferocious trolls circling the mountains, attacking merchants. At the first sign of momvement, they reached their weapons(most with an axe or some such sort of weapon, a few with swords), but didn't manage to save their lives, but took many down with them. There was however, plenty of gold. You got 790 gold and one horse(this includes the attack on the merchants yesterday...).
Electric, (*Cough*, hypocrite. You lose two of those troops you trained, and get your gold back) the first army(north) encounter no merchants, but find a pack of horses wandering around aimlessly. The second army(south) loses 9 infantry(2 groups, 18 merchants, 17 merchants). An scout of five men appeared near the city, four were killed, but the last one got away. It is unsure who these scouts were. You got 230 gold and 25 horses.
Sinthoras, (I suppose so, best have some sort of a name for them villages, and yes, a one day march), 7 infantry were lost(lost/killed, same thing) (east)(1 group, 28 merchants). You got 170 gold and three ponies.
Demonsul, 5 infantry were lost in the first army(1 group, 21 merchants) and 8 in the second(1 group, 26 merchants). You got 370 gold and three horses.
Dethos,(hello?) 4 infantry were lost in the first army(1 group, 13 merchants) and 3 infantry in the second(1 group, 16 merchants). You got 310 gold, and two horses.
Septim, (Did you even read my last post? You've got an army of twenty infantry standing around your walls. Also, your troops can't magic places, I've unfortunately placed them elsewhere, so they'll travel back in a day. For the time being, the enemy army is waiting outside your gates patiently) your armies will take a day to travel. For the time being, you get two hundred gold from treasure dug up from the ground.
Gilth, the wargs ripped through the ranks of the soldiers, oblitering everyone in their path. With just ten wargs killed, eighty infantry were dead. The sound of galloping hooves was heard, and arrows flew through the air, steel was flashed, and the wargs were decapitated. The warg hunters had rescued only seven men, picked up the skulls and fled off to the east. The infantry however, had salvaged six skulls, 1,800 gold worth. You got six skulls, nothing else. You also have to take the skulls to the nearest city to get the gold(Derront).
Hirgon, (no, "training" troops after they have been trained from peasants will bring no benefits(whatever about anything else, trying to keep track of this would be impossible). First army(west of village), four infantry were lost(1 group, 19 merchants). Second army are still travelling( to the next village), and the scouts have been killed, their heads sent back along with two hundred gold by a scout from the village, who quickly disappeared from sight. You got three hundred gold and three camels.

[[25 horses?!WOO]]

Gilth the Orc

[Err, did I lose 80 men or 90? you said they killed 80, but you also said the hunters saved 7, so I'm a bit confused. I guess I underestimated a large wolves strength.]

Name/Race: Gilth, Orc
Villages/towns/cities: 1 Village
Gold earned a day: 100g
Gold: 300-50=250 gold

17/7 Infantry

100 iron short swords
100 Willow pole-axes
Armour:
100 steel bucklers
Mounts:
2 horses
Quest items:
6 Warg skulls (1800 gold in Derront)


The warg troops was stronger then expected, way stronger. The first charge of the ferocious beasts completely blew away all defending warriors. 27 men died when they got run over, then the wargs started ripping of limbs from every warrior they could reach, by the time Gilth's warriors killed 1 warg, another 14 men were lost. The huge losses made the orcs bloodlusty, they didn't fear death, they would love to die, if they could take one of these wargs with them in the grave. The Orc troops still suffered many losses, every warg killed meant at least 6 more orcish troops that were slaughtered by their claws and jaws.
[80 Orcs, 6 wargs killed]

Suddenly, the sound of hooves, arrows sailing through the air, every single one of them hitting the target. 7 wargs were killed, all with several arrows in their necks. The others immediately recognised the danger and fled.

The warg hunters approached the remains of the small orcish raiding troop.
"Your losses are high", their leader said. "You deserve to keep the skulls from those monsters you were able to slay". "Next time, try using those carts you have with you, and make some fire, but the wisest thing may be to just flee in all directions."

The warg hunters continued their pursuit and the Orcs were left to clean up the mess.

• 10 infantry arrive at the horror site, they help making a mass grave for their fallen brothers.
• After that, all 27/17 warriors return to village A with the warg skulls.
• Trained 10 more infantry [10*5=50]

[What can I do with the horse/pony then?]

-4 Archers and 7 Calvary Archers sent to Army A, AVOID any contact with ANYONE.
Army A: 42 infantry and 4 archers, moved a bit farther east. Still in-between Derront and the port city. Ambush merchants that are not too big and caravans and are poorly defended.
Army B: 12 Infantry, sent home to the village.
-10 (soon to be 22) at home to protect the village.

[[Electric, they can't have shileds but they can have Chainmail/Platemail.]]

[[I suggest we show our weapons and armour like Adrastos does. The weapons equipped in the troops section, and the ones not equiped at the weapons/armour/mounts section. I think this would make for a better overview :)  ]]

[[Killer that would be nice..like 1/5 the price for copper etc..]]

[I'm very sorry, I won't be able to do this today, you can just skip today, and wait until after my post tomorrow.] Sorry Gilth, I had originally written down ninty three, forgot to change seven to twenty. No, there's no real way to estimate an enemy's strength, but wargs are ferocious(even more so against cavalry, at least horses or the like), and short swords aren't all that useful against them, they're very quick and though short swords are useful for stabbing(which isn't all to useful against wargs, unless in the right spot) and slashing(which is fairly decent against wargs, maybe there's better weapons for this against wargs, but still fairly good, but the troops are too slow) the wargs managed to kill a lot of orcs to each one, they pounced on the troops, practically crushing them, then went for the throat, and the troops had no protection other than their shields, which were rendered useless as the wargs pounced on them. Also, yes, you can sell your weapons, but only for a fifth of the price(won't have any decimals and not too much back, after all, they are dented and scratched)
