Manifest Destiny

[Retech]

Why didn't the catapults do anything while on my side? Also those controling the catapults were also ordered to stay out of range.

 

Ok, then 300 jaffa crossbowmen and 100 catapults are sent to atteck the Ikanans while the goa'uld pray for victory without many casualties on their side.

 

The catapults did do things, but the fact that your explosives weren't as effective contributed to their ineffectiveness. The catapults are rather slow, even compared to pikemen.

 

How do you have 100 catapults? You also realize your population is 400-500?

[Nexaduro]

If Paul allows it, I take back a sample/instructions to make napalm. I thank the Ikanians, and say they have made an ally. I tell them to beware of the Scathe, and return to the Daeka homeland. I don't know how many Daeka I have, how long has it been since I created the forges?

[Retech]

I have no clue how long it has been since you've made the forges. Is there a reason you need to know?

I've been making catapults for a little while now. And I have some hundred goa'uld, you've never said how many jaffa I have.

[Retech]

I was assuming that each Goa-uld needed one Jaffa, and vice versa. You have an equal amount of Jaffa and Goa'uld, unless stated otherwise (if you manage to find other races to conquer).

[The_Mather1]

Ok, so you basically intended each jaffa to be host to a goa'uld?

 

The goa'uld attempt to take local wildlife as hosts.

[Nexaduro]

I need to know my Daeka population. 100 adults and 50 children each year, evidently. I tried to calculate it, but messed up somehow. You don't say what counts as a year. Can you please try to find the information? It is what moderators have to do, after all.

[Retech]

Each update counts as a year. I wasn't sure of how fast you wanted to increase your population, but generally 50 beings per thousand, so 50 at your level, 100 at anything below 2,000, etc.

 

I am trying to figure out how to transition into a system where the system goes one day = one year, and everyone can keep track and calculate their own stats. Then I will transition into saying when your growth or construction is too fast, and the war moderator. Of course I'll do events and stuff, but the emphasis will be on interacting with other players, rather than just with the moderator.

 

And it's nighty night for me.

Research continues on:

 

Perfected explosive mix

Crossbows / Ballistas

 

Construction on the grand cathedral continues.

 

 

The scribe tells one of the Daeka, "Unfortunately we cannot spare our closely guarded secret."

[Nexaduro]

I'll just say we have 1250 Daeka by now.

[Earth]

ok. i look for difrent edible plants to be combined to make better food items. (more nutritous, ect.) and my atatck force just keeps on raining death upon the scathe. my yellows (wind specials) call up a gust to break thru the poison gas clouds, whle the reds (fire specials) incinerate the poison plants.

[Seraphi]

Hey Retech, I already sent you a battle plan, when are you calculating it?

[Grim_]

(I think he is waiting for earth to send the plans?)

[Retech]

After I eat dinner. :)

[Seraphi]

Awesome.

[paul191600]

Oh, don't forget to post the battle with Me vs. Mather.

[Retech]

My test taking mania is still not over, but I can definitely host more sessions after today. I'll probaly do the battle reports sometime this evening.

The Battle of the Oracle

 

The forces of the Scathe started the battle with complete confidence, their enemy trapped within their shroud of poisonous haze and their numbers expanding even during the fighting. The forces of light attempted to escape to higher defensible positions, but as they began walking out of camp, the Scathe attacked in huge numbers with their needlers, ripping apart the forces, already decimated by the poisonous air and previous attacks. Before long, the force was almost destroyed. The Scathe didn't win this part of the battle though, the super charged hero seemed to receive powers from the God of Light, despite of the Oracle, and managed to battle through the Scathe forces to the mountain pass where the rest of their forces were located.

 

Meanwhile, a thousand needlers took to the skies (they can only fly within vicinity of the oracle valley), targeting Earth's elementals. After a long fight, the elementals managed to come out just ahead, though they lost more than half their kind in the fight. With the pyriic victory for the elementals, the needlers fled back into the shroud to fight another day.

 

The attempts to summon juggernaughts and titans by both parties have failed.

The First Goa'uld-Ikanian War (Stage two)

 

The battle began with the Goa'uld mustering a lovely three hundred Jaffa crossbowmen and twenty catapults. On a nearby chain of hills lay 330 Ikanian soldiers, entrenched in their fortifications.

 

Despite the grim odds, the Goa'uld generals decided to push forward with the attack regardless of the consequences. The Goa'uld began marching up the steep hills with their traditional armor, at breakneck speed. Their catapults managed to damage the enemy catapults to a point that they could not be used in the ensuing battle. The crossbowmen soon encountered pots of greek fire thrown at them, decimating their ranks. Fortunately, when they got up to the hill they used their crossbows at point blank range to great effect against the pikemen.

 

Soon enough, the Ikanians broke and fled, but the Goa'uld still had the most casualties from the fight. In other news, a powerful current has seperated the island from the mainland, preventing easy access. (You can ask me either to kill off 75% of forces crossing, or roll to see if your force makes it across, dying if it fails)

 

Goauld forces:

100 Jaffa Crossbowmen

30 Catapults (10 of them retrieved from the Ikanians)

 

Ikanians:

150 Phalanx pikemen

50 Grenadiers

[The_Mather1]

The goa'uld research more potent explosives.

 

BTW Retech, Greek fire is the kind that floats on water, what you are referring to I believe is just black powder without wax (making it combust slowly).

[paul191600]

Wait, are the forces that you posted there the ones left or the ones killed?

[The_Mather1]

Also a group of jaffa attempt to make armour from animal hides strengthened with woven skin straps and small, layered rocks in a shell-like pattern.

[Retech]

-Mather

 

I was thinking of stuff related to napalm. Just really hard to transport, bad napalm.

 

 

-Paul

 

Forces left

[Seraphi]

Fun fun. I'll give you the plans for my next step later.

 

Also, did I manage to infect any of the dragons?

[Retech]

The dice have ruled against the infection of the dragons. Also, I'll be doing a yearly update sometime, so that can begin.
