Scottish Invasion of England

 

The Scottish army found its first taste of true battle in the grasslands of England. It composed of two thousand knights, as well as two thousand Skirmisher bows, fifteen hundred peasants, and a thousand axemen. They had marched into the northern part of England, sacking several villages and murdered a few prominent citizens, such as Archi, the barrel maker for one of the isolated villages.

 

The English army immediately left the Welsh front to stop the Scots, though Leon shadowed close behind. The King of England himself joined the force with an additional five hundred knights. In the open field, the English army was no matched for the two armies and was easily crushed, pincered into defeat. As Leon shipped its soldiers back to Leon, England fell apart into civil war due to the death of their king. Several powerful barons have taken up the reign of leadership.

Yay! There ya go Earth, England's open for whatever you want to do with it.

 

Btw Retech if it splits it should split into like...York, Northumberland, Merica, Wessex, Cornwall, and whatever else.

 

btw Retech,

Government: Feudalistic Monarchy (8)

 

 

 

Government: Feudalistic Monarchy (5)

 

What does the (#) mean?

Mather, here are some estimated troop costs. Of course you can invent your own troops, but just compared to the chart:

 

Peasants: 100-150

Spearmen: 250

Pikemen: 400

Archers: 400

Elite Pikemen: 700

Heavy Horse Archers: 700-800

Men at Arms: 500

Ok, I used 10,000 peasants, that's 1,000,000, so 9,000,000 left.

 

Arbalestiers: 7,000 * 700 = 4,900,000.

Pikemen: 4,200 * 500 = 2,100,000.

Men at Arms: 5,000 * 400 = 2,000,000.

 

That's 10,000,000 total.

That's how many men you're sending to Cordoba, Mather?

Keep in mind the barons are still pretty strong in their own right. You could probaly say that they would each be worthy of being called a small kingdom.

Please keep track of your army numbers. For each battle plan that you send me, please include the following things to make it easier for me.

 

Additional troops purchased for plan

Total Troops participating in plan

Number of troops in reserve for defence, or for whatever else (optional, but if you don't include it, I don't know how many troops are defending your country, and they'll come and raid you like they did to Grim)

Okay, leaving until the evening. Arbalesteers are 700 each.

 

Map with my Slavic gains, and added that tiny little country in my north, as it was just an Italian dependency.

Cordoba recieved 10,000 peasants and whatever my nobilty decided to send.

Okay, please read my edits to the post above Trol's. Also, if someone is going to do a crusade thingy for the Catholics, plan it out with your allies and send me a big post with everything in it. You can make generalizations about the Pope, like "deploying Pope's forces here..." or something. Same thing for Mather with the muslims. You can assume that you're moving Egyptian forces here and there, or so on. Paul might have to coordinate his own defence.

 

Also, player vs player will generally make the wars last longer. So blitzes will be less effective, but it may prove winning over the long run. The more tactical player will probaly win, but I will have to figure out a system. Infact, for player vs player, I'll require a geographical map of the fields involved, because it'll be much more detailed.

Is my battle being redone?

Is my battle being redone?

 

I might be able to do it tonight, but I can't right now. Sorry. :)

Since when has Lichtenstein been an Italian dependency?

 

Put it back good sir!

Oh and León guarantees the independence of Andorra.

Mather, what country are you even?

If I can conquer these guys, then I can repair my infra.

Updated map

 

 

Changes:

Put back in Lichtenstein (If you want a country don't just assume to annex it!)

Put Norway back as an NPC country (it was only coloured as a mistake)

Coloured in the Zeirids.

What...

 

You were just handed England on a silver platter you idiot.

Retech, my plan for the crusade is to just lend my troops to Egyptian or Cordoban generals.

well, no. they are small kingdoms, [wagon]! i dont even have a big enough army to fight them. any one of them. and im doing it so i have to wait a year before my troops are trained!

Mather, out of curiosity, are you planning on actually playing any time soon?

I am playing, I'm just not stupid enough to fight before I grow.

Yes I can, I can quest for Egypt and create underground cities.

Pah.

 

I'm doing more strategically than any of you, and I'm not fighting in the least.

England's entire army was just defeated and the country is in civil war. You could just waltz in and take over the northern half of England with little opposition.

Lolwut. Curious if you can provide me with any example where a vassal state was given control over its master's territory?

I'm making a trade route, making an academy, doing research and attacking.

You should keep that in mind Nex.
