The Official Game Thread for TW14!!

After review of everyone's action posts for the campaign of 1492 AD, captures, announcements, and so forth (I'm sure things are getting close to becoming heated...)
page 7 to 9, for reference

I must make amendments to some details in the results of people's actions...

because of the casualties from rolling a 2 or 3 still hits a lone unit, (I was pretty sure I definitely did explain that causalities are rounded down, except for lone units which will be then the unit that gets the causality, irrespective to rounding down), the still standing units which should have died will be disbanded.

The GM disbands the Sicilian peasant militia in West Tyrrhenian Sea

The GM believes the Turkish seizure of Sardinia was intended to meant that the militia from Western Med was making the attack, rather than Ragusa. The aftermath report of unit locations does match that logic. Attack is permitted on the understanding that the posted unit was a typo.

The Gm disbands the Papal mercenary in Sienna for dying in the battle of Plombino, and the ownership of Plombino hasn't been transferred to the Prince's control

The GM goes back and double checks on the map from 1491... he already had denoted that France bribed the neutral garrison in Saluzzo to flip to his side in the previous year and it was even on the map as blue. Thus there was no battle of Saluzzo in 1492, and there is the bribed peasant militia plus the French peasants being moved from Marisallie into Saluzzo, meaning France has 2 units in Saluzzo, not 1.

I hope I didn't overlook anything else... Let me know if I did make a mistake, please?

Phase 3 for 1492 (Some people now has mercenaries which DO have mandatory expenses unlike peasants)

France - No expenses deduced from Lord Chancellor Napoleon Bonaparte 's treasury, leaving 4 ducats.

Hapsburgs - 1 Mercenary requires a payment of 2 ducats, because the treasury is at 0 ducat, Quintus Fabius loses that mercenary automatically (it disbands, not necessarily rising up against you and demand payment, that's too OP in the TW14 here)

Milan - The Duke of Milan sits on his 5 ducats without a mandatory expense.

Venice - 2 mercenaries snarls and takes the last 4 shiny ducats from The Doge of Venice Frederick the Great 's pockets

Papal States - 1 Mercenary requres 2 ducats, Prince of Romagna and Perugia António Salazar has 10 ducats remaining after the deduction.

Naples - none taken from the King of Naples Imperial RomeBall 's treasury (0 ducats in there)

Sicily - none from the King of Sicily Farmer Doggo as well (5 ducats, right?)

Ottomans - The Grand Vizier best75 can say he has 3 ducats as his current wealth and doesn't furnish his army with mercenaries yet, dodging the payroll mandate of the Sultan's Janssaries.

Genoa - The Doge goes off on a wild vacation somewhere in Catalina, abandoning his vast accumulation of ducats overflowing atop of his desk, oh my!

Part 4 of 1492 AD - Incomes
(Please note that economic techs comes in effect the next year in relation to actions and ducats)

Napoleon Bonaparte - 7 ducats gained from cities, plus 2 from ToW (Theory of Wealth) = 9 ducats given to the Lord Chancellor of France

best75 - 10d cities, +2 ToW = 12 ducats given to the Grand Vizier

Quintus Fabius - 4d cities, +2 ToW = 6 ducats given to the Duke of Styria

Imperial RomeBall - 7d cities, +2 ToW, +1 MT, +2 House of Aragon (HoA)* = 12 ducats given to the King of Naples (Free Enterprise Philosophy takes effect in 1493)

Farmer Doggo - 5d cities, +2 ToW, +3 from Maritime Trading (MT), +2 HoA* = 12 ducats given to the King of Sicily

António Salazar - 22d cities, +2 ToW = 24 ducats given to the Prince of the Papal States

Laurent de Gouvion - 19d cities (FEP gives 3d more), +2 ToW = 24 ducats given to the Duke of Milan (Free Enterprise Philosophy takes effect now)

Frederick the Great - 12d cities, +2 ToW = 14 ducats given to the Doge of Venice (Free Enterprise Philosophy takes effect in 1493)

Franz von Hipper - I'm not going to calculate Genoa's income from on now...

*House of Aragon, triggered by the Turkish occupation of Sardinia. The bonus is based on the cost of raising an army that a neutral would have.

The update to the map after 1492 AD:

And now... the events of 1493 AD to come...

Milan 1493

Initial treasury balance: 29 ducats.

1) Build mercenary in Ferrara. (3 ducats)
2) Build mercenary in Ferrara. (3 ducats)
3) Attack Mantua with mercenaries from Ferrara. 8-(((5-10)/10)*5) : 5,5. So 6

Pvn6_B7b

4) Mercenaries move to Parma
5) Attack Fornova. Same number.




Territorial changes: Mantua and Fornova surrenders to Milan in a series of stunning victories. The Mayor of Montferrat has also given the keys of his city to the Duke of Milan.

Of course, 2 ducats are given to Venice, respecting the Treaty of Ferrara.

Balance now: 21 ducats

There is an issue on movement which I am resolving with Desophaeus. In case turns 4-5 are illegal, here are my changes:

4) Move 1 mercenary from Mantua to Parma
5) Research Elite Religous Education (7 ducats)

Balance if this turn is legal instead of the original: 14 ducats.

Again, leaving this for Desophaeus to decide.···

I have taken over Saluzzo, I should be getting its 2d/y shouldn't I? Desophaeus?

France 1493

Had 7 ducats, got 7 ducats (which SHOULD be 9, amirite Desophaeus? ) equals 14


1) continue research on galley construction (3+3/8)

2) move my peasants in Saluzzo to take Savoy.

3-4) move peasants from Switzerland to Avignon to Provence.

4) move peasants form Avignon to Marseilles.


Money;

14 ducats - 3 -1 (for event that happened)= 10.

Armies and positions;

(1) in Savoy.
(1) in Marseille.
(1) in Provence.

António Salazar, I don't deduce the mercenary costs twice, so...

I accidentally left your income unedited when I pasted the old list into the post. In about 3 hours from now, I will go over the count of cities and other sources of income. I don't think I left someone else unedited, but anyone else... let me know. Appreciate it, thanks.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the Savoyard Civil Disorder event gave you Savoy.

And the 7/9 ducat thing, what do you mean? You had (before the events) Marseillaise, Avignon, Switzerland, Saluzzo. 2,2,1,2 that's 5 ducats from cities, then 2 from ToW.

I hate mornings... I don't function well until double digits finally shows up on the clock (as in 10 am).

Awww, I did the formula for 12BP if attacking with the peasants and it was 5.083 with a repeating 3. Didn't want to sacrifice the income from Maritime Trading.
