The 6th Theoretical War: Medival Ages

Ok. I know the last war just ended but im already ready for the next one. I have gotten permission and i have been allowed to become referee in it!!!

This is going to be different from other wars. The basics will be the same like dice warfare but there are going to some big changes. First off: 1. This is based in the Medieval Ages. Yup. There goes to any chances of somebody using nukes on another person. Then instead of all the previous wars there will not just be 2 alliances, or teams but 4. Yes, that may sound daunting but trust me its not. Here are the list of the alliances and nations each with their own strengths and weakness. There are about 14 factions to choose from.



Holy Catholic Entente (HEC): 3.3/5 FULL

France 3/5 stars (King Bismarck) Religion: Catholicism

Holy Roman Empire (Emperor Best 75) 5/5 stars Catholicism

Livonia 3/5 stars (King Oskars Kaplas) Catholicism

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 2/5 stars (Lord Oskars Kaplas) Secularist



Anglo-Spanish and Scandinavian Union (ASU): 3/5

England (King Guerdian) (Not the UK or GB) 3/5 stars Catholicism

Spain 4/5 stars Catholicism

Scandinavian Empire ( Chief Netherfreek) 2/5 stars Catholicism



Islamic Caliphate (ILC): 3.6/5 stars FULL

Moors 5/5 stars (Lord Jean Lannes) Islam

Turks 4/5 stars (Sultan Moreau)  Islam

Arabs 2/5 stars (Khalifa Kurram)Islam



Eastern Imperial Order (EIO): 3/5

Tsardom of Moscow 4/5 stars (Tsar Mountbatten) Secularist 

Hungary 3/5 stars (King Sherman) Greek Orthodox

Empire of Khwarizmi Shar 2/5 stars (Emperor Mountbatten) Islam

Byzantine Empire 2/5 stars (Emperor Tarreyland) Greek orthodox



Other Nations:

Papal States 1/5 stars

Holy State of Mecca 1/5 stars

Patriarchy of the Greek Orthodox 1/5 stars



Neutrals:

Principal state of Georgia

Portugal



This Theo war will only be in Europe and North Africa.

This war is different men....... and women. Here is how:

1. More action. You can attack all the other alliances but not any of the "other" factions.

2. The "other factions are non-playable

3. Population. An army is 10,000. In the second cold war rp, i remember at one stage Greece had about 20 armies and i had maybe 30. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Italy's army is 100,000 right now and its one of the biggest ever in Italian history. 40 years ago had could it realistically had 300,000 troops!? Thats why, my map is important. Each territory gives you 10 more unit space so if your England you can have an army of like 40, thats impossible.

4. There are 2 unit types, swordsmen, worth 1 space, and cavalry worth 2 space. Ships have no limit however.

5. There is no limit how much tech can be researched in one phase.

6. Here is the big one: Religion

Now this may be weird to have it but this is important so read carefully: You have to be follow everything your religious leader commands unless your a secularist. There will be events each phase with the pope, or who ever asking you to do something for them. If you do it, you gain favor, if you dont you lose it. Its out of 10, once you reach 0, a crusade will be called upon you or a jihad and you start at 5. Nations of the religion will then be told to come and kill you. A crusade and jihad may be called upon you randomly by another religons leader. It can happen once every 15 phases to somebody.

7. Coups: The procces of embarrassment is the same but the end result is different. Even a successful coup will not end up with them joining you. Another dice will be thrown, by me to decide what happens. Either, they join you, be nothing happens, the nation becomes hostile you still even after the coup and there is also the possibilty of them all breaking into splinter states each with their own ideas.

8. Rebels: Once you unlock the tech you can also instigate rebellions in random countries to cause chaos. They will probably not be succesful but who knows.

9. Events: Diseases may sprout up, due to diseases you will lose your ability to produce troops for the whole phase. You can save yourself from them by unlocking Social Development. Then here is another event, uprisings can sprout up randomly even without someone instigating them. The final event beside real life events will be raiders. Either the mongols, the persians or the Tamurials will come and bring hell upon you so watch out eastern cities. However they will only come every 20 phases.

10. The Tempered Steel and other techs like that make your base go higher from 7, which is the base number.

11. Propoganda not only allows you to embrass other nations but allows you to stabilize yourself.



You can only make armistices and what not with factions your of your own religion or if their secularist. But, here is the big thing that you reminded me about. If one of the religious centers fall, like the papal states, or Mecca, then all nations of that religion will become tier 1 embarrassment until the state is taken back. However, you can also just convert your nation to another religion once that happens but you can only convert once. And now i just realized that i am yet to say the tiers of embarrassment. Here they are:



Tier 1: 6 embarrassments required: England: Why: Scots and Irish hate them. Byzantine: Why: Weak leadership, crumbling empire very diverse community. Arabs: Very weak leadership



Tier 2: 10 embarrassments required: Spain: Why: They are afraid of Islamic influence and united Spain is still quite new Poland: They are uneasy because of tsardom expansion and have many different ethineticities Hungary: The magyars are relatively weak compared to their bordering nations and are quite unstable politically Livonia: Have been under many crusades lately and are under great pressure from other powers.



Tier 3: 13 embarrassments required: France: Why: They are stable due to single communities, strong leadership and religion Turks: Why: Rising power and very ambitious Tsardom: They are new power but are quickly taking the east by storm Scandinavia: The Nordic people have strong values and are united together



Tier 4: 16 embarrassments required: HRE: Why: They are united by their religonand ambition Moors: Same as HRE

Neutrals: Need 8 embarrassments 


But do you need to border a nation of that religion you're going to convert to? So England can't just convert to Islam because she doesn't border an islamic country, and the Arabs can't become catholics for the same reason?

England can do nothing if its stays as an island. But others can. HRE could become secularist or greek orthodox. Byzantine could become Islamic. The arabs cant do anything. Note: For Secularist nations, they can convert at any time.
