Hmmm...something happened on the last page...weird...

Seeing as I have no weapons for my men (I guess my men could just smash the hell outta them with their fists), I will have them pick up whatever they could find (sticks for infantry, stones for the rangers...). I don't want them attacking trade caravans until we have archers, so I want them to instead sneak up on merchant camps at night and kill them in their sleep.

I guess I have to put the specifics as to what I am going to do...

- Army split into four groups
- Three groups will be sent to covertly slaughter merchants in their sleep.
- One group will stay at my village.

[I figured you start with 100 and you earn 100 from your village. Only used 90, so it can easily be corrected if I was incorrect]

[Heheh, oops..
Yeah, Batur is the same guy as me.. Wanted to play, though didn't want my history to get all messed up with tons of deaths without a story (already have 2 or 3). So Gilth is staying dead till the end of the era and I play with Batur to kill the time.]

Electric watched as the dawn rose upon his chosen force of infantry.Splitting his forces in two,50 infantry and two archers into two teams, traveled to two different rivers. One headed towards the river north of the village,where merchant caravans would be crossing. The other one traveled to the south river, to catch any supply caravans coming from Yrasolert to Redest Fort.

[[Hmm..admin,delete that second post I dunno how that happened..AND BOW MASTER YOU BRAT YOU NEVER SIGNED UP NOW GO AWAY]]

Right, all the travelling will take one day for the armies to reach the various places. Gilth, you don't earn 100 gld the first day, that was supposed to be the gold earned, sorry I didn't make that clear. Dethos, just so you know, on your group of islands, the small one down south of it is separate. So basically, anything of interest will start tomorrow(1 day is not exactly 1 real day, I'll just post at some stage during the day. Now... the mounts. The prices are per mount. You need mounts for your cavalry and ranged cavalry(they can act as regular infantry and archers without them. Don't worry, horses and such are fairly cheap. You can also take any living enemy mounts after you've defeated them)

Mounts:
Horses(all of them are pretty much the same, a fairly average horse able to carry a man in a suit of armour) - 20 gold.
Ponies(usually used by halflings and dwarfs, but other can use them. Slower but sturdier than the horse) - 15 gold.
Camel(better in the desert than horses and other mounts. They're slightly slower and weaker than horses) - 15 gold.
Warg(a large wolf, very vicious and tough to control. I'm sticking it in here because it isn't rare in this world. Frighten horses and beings) - 2,000 gold
Elephants(frighten the enemy troops. Can be panicked(so can other mounts, for that matter) and deal massive damage to either their own or enemy troops.) - 3,000 gold.
Mythical creatures - These are very rare, and you won't be often able to buy them, if ever. But you might be able to defeat one and tame it.
Rocs(A huge bird, slightly smaller than the elephant, capable of flight. Are ferocious, and unpredictable.) - 25,000 gold.
Griffin(Half lion, half eagle. Can fly. About half the size of an elephant, but are easy to control unlike the roc) - 20,000 gold
Dragon(a huge creature, slightly bigger than a whale(a big one, a blue whale or the like), flies, and breathes fire.) - 200,000 gold
Wyvern(a small dragon, about the size of a man, does not breath fire and has only two legs and wings.) - 10,000 gold
Pegasus(a flying horse, isn't very agile in the air like a wyvern though) - 10,000 gold
Cerberus(3 headed dog, very vicious and fairly big) - 6,000 gold

I think that's enough.

Delran ordered the weapons to be delivered to his men. He also change dtheir orders. They would ambush any caravan passing near them and has less than 40 men. Caravans with bigger escorts will be stormed by night.

[I bought 100 short swords, Hirgon was the one buying 20 axes]

100 steel bucklers (bought: 20*4=80 gold)

When Gilth collected the taxes from his tribesmen, he saw he had enough gold to equip his warriors even better. 5 men with carts were send out to buy 100 steel bucklers and bring them to his small army. He hadn't heard from them yet, maybe it was time to go and look for them. Who knows, they might have already ambushed a caravan successfully.

• Buy 100 steel bucklers: 4*20 = 80 gold
• Wait for some kind of caravan to ambush

[[*facepalms*  Sorry guys.  I didn't buy 20 axes; I bought 100 bronze axes for 20 gold, and put that down as the number of axes instead of 100....here's the correct stats for my first day, with the afterthought edit added in, which won't happen again...]]

[[Electric, I dont think you get to decide whether you succesfully ambush etc, else we'd all be doing it ;) ]]

[[...huh?Killer said plundering supplies caravans was the way to?]]

[[Well,lets say they stumbled over something and found 100 gold?]]

[[Excuse my mistake..but..FINE THEN..IM AT 50 GOLD TODAY..I WAS AT -50 IF THAT IS POSSIBLE..]]

[[Makes sense, Killer, and is what I expected since I came a day late.  I'm posting this now before you get here because I never really paid attention to timestamps here before.  Woohoo!  Timestamps are configured to your time zone!]]

Electric, you can't decide what you get. I'm not even going to comment on the stupidity of that.

Delran, six infantry were lost in the first army(1 group, 24 merchants) , and three in the second(1 group, 22 merchants). You got 290 gold, one camel and one horse.
Adrastos, eight infantry were lost in the first army(Derront/village)(2 groups, 26 merchants, 14 merchants). No troops were lost in the second, but they are now awaiting orders whether to ambush a group of merchants(sea/mountains)(32 merchants) or not. Your troops are on the mountain, hiding about 20 metres away behind scree, and the merchants are in a circle having a meal, goods to one side, oblivious to the troops. It is noon, a clear day. You've got 240 gold so far, and one pony and one horse.
Electric, two infantry and one archer were lost in the first army(north river)(1 group, 16 merchants) and three infantry were lost in the second(south river)(1 group, 20 merchants). You got 310 gold and one pony.
Sinthoras, twelve infantry were lost in the first army(Poloston/villages)(1 group, 26 merchants(you were rather unlucky in that they were well prepared for the aattack)) and four infantry in the second(town/villages)(1 group, 19 merchant). The Duke(probably the wrong title, but I'm using King for the capital, Duke for cities, Lord for towns, and errr... Sir(knight) for villages.) of Poloston laughs in the archer's face, saying that the king is in Fortress Zeta. He mused a while, though, and finally said "The king has sent out a quest(this is to EVERY one of you) to all people, there are groups of wargs, of around fifty spread out around the land. I wouldn't go looking for them though, they'll find you, much to your misfortune. Anyone who brings a skull to the king will be rewarded with three hundred coins to each one. However(this is to Sinthoras alone), if you bring me an elephant, which I would dearly like to see, it is said they are rare beasts, found more often in the south. I do not know where you might find one however, be I am a patient man. Here is a hundred gold for your troubles." Your scouts find 450 people roughly in the village(remember, this can change with time) You have got(this always includes everything you got after each of my posts, so this includes the hundred gold, the only exception is your income each day, which you keep track of) 420 gold and one horse.
Demonsul(you are on day two, sorry, about 40 minutes(late today, didn't realise this would take so long) after this post it will be day three), three infantry were lost in the first army(1 group, 14 merchants) and five infantry in your second army(1 group, 21 merchants). Your second group have seen a band of poorly armed bandits(40) attacking a group of merchants(26, poorly armed also). They are awaiting orders as to whether to attack or not. You've got 280 gold and two ponies.
Dethos, 2 infantry and one horse were lost in the first army(1 group, 18 merchants) and 6 infantry were lost in the second(1 group, 17 merchants). You got 320 gold and two ponies.
Septim(same as Demonsul, day two), I'm taking each group to be a quarter of your troops, 4 infantry lost in the first army(1 group, 18 merchants), 6 infantry lost in the second(1 group, 24 merchants), 1 archer and three infantry lost in the third(1 group, 23 merchants). A small army of twenty men, armed with iron short sword and steel bucklers are attacking you. Every village/town/city has walls, villages having high wooden fences, towns and cities have stone walls, cities with bigger ones, and the walls are fairly circular. They've come because they heard news that you attacked a group or merchants, but they are unsure. You can either try and talk your way out of it or prepare your defences. If you unsure how to do this, just ask me. You got 360 gold and one pony.
Gilth, your army lost three infantry(2 groups, 25 merchants, 17 merchants). Your army came across the remains of a large group of merchants, and they took the gold left. They soon found out at the cause of the destruction, wargs. They come running from the east, one score and ten(thirty). They await orders, but must mount a hasty defence or retreat. It's pretty much in the open, and at the falling of the night, it is still bright for about half an hour. You got 370 gold and two horses.
Hirgon(not yet has the day past... This is your first day), your armies have just finished travelling.

Any of you have taken an extra day, I can take that as your next day tomorrow, or you can make any adjustments you want. I am going easy on your so far, but I'm advising you not to make any small armies(this is for you to judge the size of) as armies are now starting to travel around to try and protect these merchants(admittedly proving very ineffective, but they'll kill a few bandits, perhaps). I'd appreciate if you kept note of where your troops are in your posts(sorry, it's a bit of a pain in the ass going back over the page).

Wait a minute! I sent out two groups of twenty-five men to seek out trader camps and kill them in their sleep!!! Where's mine!?

[[YES!310 GOLD!Wait..I already posted..WAH.]]

Electric, your last post is discounted, unless you want me to take that as the next day's. You can do it again if you want(without the shields)
