Middle Ages: Interactive

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

This is my first interactive, so bear with me here, and decided to do it on the Middle Ages.

Ok so here are the Nations:

First Bulgarian Empire
Serbia
Leon- Ignoramus
Castille
Galicia
Barcelona
Aragon
Navarra
The Kingdom of France- Warluster (Robert the Second)
The Kingdom of England- Csar (Ethelred the Unready)
The Holy Roman Empire- Comrade Alexeo (Kaiser Otto III)
Kingdom of Sicily- IrishArmenian
Byzantine Empire- Hannibal99 (Basil II)
The Seljuk Turks (later Ottoman, after capturing Constantinople)- Destroyer of Hope (Seljuk)
The Moors- Hepcat
Spain-
Russia-
Khitan Empire- Conquerer
Song Dynasty- Motep dra Uha Dnia Mazzat (Sung T'ai Tsu)
Japan-
Venice-
Papal States- CountArach
Egypt

Ok let me explain how this works. I will give choices the player nations will be able to choose from (ie, Holy Roman Empire 1. Attack France 2. Raise defences 3. build castles). When all the choices are in, I will write a chapter that tells what happened.

Battles: When battles occur, I will give a list of available units, you choose up to 5 (NOTE: numbers matter, so do other things like spearmen vs cavalry). ie, Holy Roman Empire: Gothic Cavalry, germanic Spearmen etc. Once the unit choices are PMed to me, I will write the battle. Depending on the number and quality of the troops, one will win.

NOTE: if anyone wants to conduct battle better, please please please PM me with your suggestion. It will make the game less bias against a certain side.

Relations:
Byzantine Empire is at war with the Seljuk Turks
Spain is at war with the Moors
Mongolia is at war with China


Diplomacy:Alliances grant both sides military access to each others countries. Allies are also expected to help each other in times of war.
(No DOWS just an idea i dont like anymore)
Government: Really there is no government. I do need some things though:

A list of troops the faction historically had (ie Holy Roman Empire Gothic Cavalry).

And leaders of the Nations. The year is 1000 so look up the ruler of your nation during 1000.

Any suggestions are very appreciated.

If I play as the Papal States, would I be considered the Pope? If so, then I am playing as them. If not, then sign me up as Spain.

[Conqueror]

Since we're at the year 1000, Mongolia isn't really a viable faction choise. The Mongols didn't become a major player until the 13th century. For this time period we should instead use the Khitan Empire (Liao Dynasty), which was a powerful state of steppe nomads that ruled over much of Mongolia, Manchuria and northern China. They also had forced the Koreans to be their vassal state. The emperor of the faction in 1000 AD was Liao Shengzong. Units would include typical steppe warriors: light horse archers and heavily armored noble horsemen. Since the Liao Dynasty is ruling over northern Chinese territory they should also be able to make use of some chinese troops.

[IrishArmenian]

May I play as the Sicillians?

[Lord Winter]

Ruler: Sultan Slejuk

Units:
Arab infentry
Sultens guards
Arab calvery (light)
Mameluke cavalry
Persien Lancers (heavy)
Levy Spearmen
Archers
Pikemen

The Sejuks would like to propose an end to this pointless war to the byzintines. We would much rather turn against the hertics in egypt then watch to powers spend countless lifes over a war that most likley will only gain a small sliver of the others land.

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

[Warluster]

[Comrade Alexeo]

I'm waiting on a response from England (Csar) on something. I'll make my choice as soon as he responds!

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

GRRRRR im tired of waiting, heres the chapter


The Kingdom of England has raised defenses, maybe for attacks by Scotland or attacks by Frenchmen. Whoever it is, they will have to get through these defenses before they reach England. The Seljuk Turks have sent in troops to Egypt, and used hit and run styles to wear out the Egyptian army, more on this later. Byzantium has built forts and castles. The Kingdom of France has decided to build castles on the coasts, in case of (English?) attack. The Song Dynasty and the Khitan Empire has declared an alliance, and China moves their forces westward, and has increased its army recruitment to defend against attack. The Khitan Empire has moved out to unify the warring Mongolian Nomads under them. The Pope has encouraged the Catholic rulers to invade Iberia and expel the Moors, in order to sweep Islam out of Europe. The HRE has done nothing.

[Warluster]

Ah...Not to be rude, but do we have decisions?

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

Well coming from you, the guy who always takes the longest time to put choices, i am making them now.
