Noble Sons II- Price for Peace pre sign-up and discussion thread.

As Noble Sons may take aaaageees to get going and away, I thought I would open a pre sign-up thread to get going as the current game system is no where near good...

Heres what I got so far (Inspiration came to me just then so heres the new version)

At the beginning you will get to chose the following army.

Land Based army

Pikemans:8
Swordmans: 8
Archers: 6
Knights:2

Steppe Army

Knights: 5
Horse Archers: 4
Archers: 6
Swordmans: 3

Defence based army

Archers: 6
Crossbow: 3
Longbow: 3
Pikemans: 4

Naval based army

Galley: 4
Swordsman: 6
Pikemans: 4

Most country will get the same ammount of income except the center countries will get extra. Income can be spent for deplomacy and buying armies. Also the previous victor, Beefdom (Yoyo if he wishes), random intruders Pizza kingdom (if he wants to play.. If not it goes to White_eyes) and Republic of YLC will get few additional men to start with.

While this is going to be mostly improvised like Battle Royale, type of forces you got, detailed battle description and hosts' (The God) mood can change the outcome of the battle as I cannot see how I can balance things out perfectly.

We will be using the map that Yoyoma made for us in the previous thread which I will upload in the next few min.

As you can see the game is really rusty. So I am open to any suggestion about how to run this game. I might check out the throne room later to see how they are doing it.

Enjoy your day in the gameroom gents. I'll see you soon... And try not to go too offtopic as the thread will be most likely terminated by one of our resident T-888s (the Mods)

Cheers :2thumbsup:

EDIT: More rules

Aim of this game is to eliminate the Vege eating kings although, the ultimate goal is to eliminate everyone else.

Voting in this game means declaration of war, although even if you get the most votes it doesn't necessary make you dead.

Theres alot of diplomatic options like surrender, serve, Ask for a vassal and stuff which you can figure it out.

Oh and the letter rule is still alive. Just send me a pm asking to send it to another player if you want to make it anonymous or forge to look like someone else sent it to them

Oh about that:laugh4:.. ok.. Ill make another post with the map

All hail King Yoyoma for his work!!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

https://i387.photobucket.com/albums/...llsizedmap.jpg

Behold.. Heres the map which is to be used for the game.

Heres the side plot of the game.

Many years passed by....

King Yoyoma was sitting in his terrace with his Amazonian lover... Enjoying the sunset. He sensed someone was approaching him from the back.

Immediately Yoyoma and the Amazonian pulled out their swords and tackled the intruder, placing their swords on its throat.

"Peace good king Yoyoma!" it said.

Yoyoma carefully took its hood off.. Ugly hag... Who seemed somewhat familiar.

"I hope you remember me King Yoyoma" said the oracle. "After all... I was the one who made you a king..."

"Silence you witch! I have no business with a fake oracle like you!" Shouted Yoyoma. who made a quick eye contact with the Amazonian, getting her ready to forcefully remove the oracles presence...

"I had a dream... King Yoyoma. A disturbing one too! This island of hope will be under attack... I saw black clouds approaching to this kingdom.. Evil clouds... Man with evil desire is about to get on the throne....umm...YEESH... TWO of them too!... Two evil man are..."

"Alright fake oracle. So who is these evil fellows? What do they want?"

"I don't know my sire... But what I saw is field full of dead soldiers... Dead cows.."
*Amazonian gasps
"Dead chickens.. Dead lambs... Dead fish.. all of them.... Then I saw.... Dancing cabbage and pumpkins!!"

"So how would you...umm.. interpret this dream fake oracle?"

"Someone vegetarian is about to rise on the throne.."

"Two of them yes?"

"Yeesh!! Two vegetarians are about to rise on the throne.. You must tell your son about it...Warn him... and prepare him and others for war.. For this island is doomed with a vegetarian kingdom ruling her!!"

.................................................................................................... ......................................

King Yoyoma Jr faced his fellow kings. Kings who rules other parts of the islands. Some friends and some hostile. And he asked.

"So who became king in the last 3 years? Besides me?"

*All the kings raised their hands.

"Oh bugger... This is not going to look good..."

Can the people of the island survive from the tyranny of the vegetarian kings? Or can the meat eating kings protect their rights to eat meat?

The ever lasting battle was once again... About to start...

So as you figured from the story, this will be a battle between meet eating kings vs those with the hidden agenda.

While eliminating the two vegetarian kingdoms will be their first goal for the "good" kings, like the previous game, the real goal is to be the dominent kingdoms of the Island.

Oh and I don't even need to explain what happens if vegetarian kingdom dominates yes?

Answer is doom. For every one on the island... Except those special ones who can bear it:beam:

In, most definitely in. The Consul will fight to the bitter last!

Give me a bit to get everything done.

So is this in any way a mafia game if so sign me up can I have a link top the original so I can get a feel for it.

Sure. Here it is
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=108714

It was origianlly planned as mafia with Battle Royale theme of everyone playing for them selves and more betrayal and treachery. But I made a serious error which completely wrecked the system I originally planned and I raged and turned into a role playing mafia.

So In a sense, this is more of throne room RPG then mafia

This will be the last game I join for a bit, busy, but I'll find time for a Beefy game. :bow:

My info coming up soon.

Edit: wait, I didn't play the first, can I play?

By epic I meant "Making the whole game epic for everyone who plays the game."

Everyones in as long as they sign up and sign up early.

IIRC the previous game had about 7-8 peoples and Sarathos aren't no longer with us so.. :sweatdrop:

Heres a clip which pretty much sums up what this game is about..

Can I still join :crown::clown:??

1. The Aresea Confederacy - Sea Based Army
2. https://i404.photobucket.com/albums/...seasmall-1.jpg
3. First adapted to the sea, we live in the large merciless oceans of the West Of Noble Sons land for generations, we became the first to develop naval technology because of are advantageous position are keen wit and wisdom of our elder Fish, recently we have adapted to land and now field land based army and naval technology, are galley's are huge and are mounted upon small whales for easy maneuvering, speed & morale depleting when faced against a coward like enemy! We were always the smallest of nations previously, but with our holdings on what was desolate land we now field one of the largest kingdoms in the whole field of noble sons land!
4. We were growing are technology, breeding it perfectly, the production of a massive warship powered by 6 million cod had been finished, and mercenaries hired in case we were attacked, but luckily we never got deeply involved in the conflicts of other petty kingdoms, allowing us to expand undisturbed, however with all nearby holding now occupied by others violence may, for the first time be a realistic consideration.....
5. Adapting giant sharks and dolphins to hold a sword, or hold a pike and fight for our nations honor!

Galleys - Best navy out of all kingdoms, truly a force to be reckoned with
Swordsmen & Pikemen - Given to truly fearsome fish, but lack the diversity and numbers to match more established land based powers
Cavalry - Non existant & laughable, we have sharks instead! much more efficient....
Archery - We gather Small Tunas with the agility and speed to fire with great prowess, however there size means they can only hold small bows meaning while incredibly agile and accurate are archery isn't particularly powerful

The Royal Descendants of the House Schling, the most Holy Priests of the 28 Headed Cattle God, declare themselves to be independent of the corrupt Yoyoma's rule, and forms the Theocracy of the Shadowbull!

Speech by S. Lysimachus, the Most Holy High Priest of the 28 Headed Cattle God, Year 44 of King Yoyoma the Corrupt's reign.

1. The Holy Theocracy of the Shadowbull
2.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

https://i387.photobucket.com/albums/...lflagsmall.jpg

3. In the Year 44, a minor pension issue between the King and the Most Holy Priest of the 28 Headed Cattle God turned into a bitter territorial dispute. Angered at his pension cut by 0.34 percent, S. Lysimachus declared the holdings of the Chruch of the 28 Headed Cattle God to be independent from the Kingdom of Beefdom. Luckily, the headstrong S. Lysimachus soon died due to an adverse allergic reaction to solid gold, and was succeeded by his less headstrong son Shlin II. Will he maintain the status quo? Will he aim for reunification? Will he seek the universal destruction of everything??? Nobody knows...

4. Back in the day of the First Age, the brave forefather of the House Schling died selflessly for a cause he didn't really understand... For his "sacrifice", his family is awarded the Priesthood of the 28 Headed Cattle God.

5. Between the First Age and the Second Age, much time were spent eating beefy, discussing the philosophy of eating beef, and generally complaining to the king about lack of funds. Later, they declared independence, and continues their whimsical lifestyle.

In, history of kingdom coming up later...

2The Grand Republic of Buranda

3 The Lands the republic settled in were populated by thousands of tribes, of different cultures, in a permanent state of war. however, the arrival of the first colonists changed all that. they were refugees from 'civilised' nations, forced from their homes. despite this, they were a clever, rich and advanced bunch. they carried sword and plate armour. the tribes had little. the republic founded the port city of Hallingon, now the capital. it was well developed, with modern designs, houses out of stone. they played the tribes against each other, assimilated the weak and allied with the strong. soon, by blood and deed, owns the entire peninsula. however, many tribes remained, in republican lands. they, in return for not fighting, given the infamous 'borderlands' lands on the borders, who could act a buffer against invasion. the republic now founded, it built new cities with wonder and science. the republic realised a opportunity for coin. the south of the peninsula, was a great bay, named the bay of carasi. it was potent for trade. they landed large expeditionary forces to the lands of the south, and took them over, much like they did on the peninsula. soon, they had conquered a large portion of land. merchants flourished, and the republic boomed. over, the new conquests were weak to surviving tribes, who had fled to other tribes, more powerful. the republic made new borderlands, and many tribes from the north went south, since there was a larger amount of land up for sale. the republic could have easily conquered much more, but political infighting and squabbling. To combat this, the position of lord chancellor was made, so that all men had a chance to become the grand ruler of Buranda

Thanks for the sign up so far! Thanks heaps :2thumbsup:

Heres how the battle works roughly

Land Based beats the Steppes
Steppes beats Defence
Defence beats Land

Navy Based beats no one although they have higher chance of Ninjaring lands.

Although the tactics you send to me can decide the outcome of the battle. But if its a front on, thats pretty much what will happen.

Don't worry i'll update mine soon, i didn't no what standard to go for as no one else really indicated at that time.
