Asian Wars I - Roll To Dodge

[Speedlion]

Asian Wars
Turn number: 016

Alright, I decided to do this. Let say this before anything else: These rules are taken from the FIRST European Wars. I took those as example and maybe changed them a little. Thus I will credit Soarin' (now called Rarity) for the rules. And I guess I'll credit Twilight Sparkle as well, because I've taken a look at his EW IV's rules as well. For the map, I credit Ciloron. Us two have spent two hours creating it (sea regions, width and height of map and all (*whispers* he secretly desires a lot of +rep for that )

Some minor changes have been made, which will be highlighted in purple.

Now then, the rules:

For peeps who are completely new to this, European Wars: Roll To Dodge is a game where one basically downloads the map of Asia (it is included in this post, please scroll down for the map), colors a region they would like to acquire and upload the map in this thread. I, the GM, will then roll for the results and depending on these rolls, you will or will not acquire the region you wished to acquire.

*I'll set the turn ends in about 18:00 (GMT +0), I hope I can make it on time.

*I, the GM, will play too. To make things fair, I need someone else to roll for me... anyone up for the task?

*Every turn will be 6 months (Used only for RP, doesn't affect anything in-game)

*Game will start in the year 1200 (won't affect the game)

*Any faction is allowed, whether it be fantasy, sci-fi or other things, seeing as it won't affect game-play. As long as it isn't too insulting to certain people.

It is possible to roll from 1 to 8, though 7 is rare and 8 is even rarer. The roll system is as follows:

[1]: Epic Fail. You lost the battle, and the enemy have chance to take your region. And you will get the point -[1] next turn, due to the morale losing.
[2]: Fail. You fail to take to region.
[3]: Meager success: The battle is unresolved. But with the better experience, you'll have the point +[1] if you attack the region again next turn.
[4]: Success: You take the region successfully.
[5]: Epic Success: You take the region successfully, and you can choose to attack 2 regions next turn.
[6]: Overshot: You take the region successfully, and you can choose to attack 2 regions next turn with the point +[1].
[7]: Epic Success: You take the region successfully and you can choose to attack 3 regions next turn.
[8]: Complete Wipe out: You take the region successfully and can choose to attack 3 regions next turn with an extra point +[1].

Ships building:
[0] You are unable to make a move next turn.
[1]. The construction is epically failed. Next time when the player tries to build ship again, he'll lose a point.
[2]. The construction is failed. The builders will have to try again.
[3]. The construction is ongoing, and not finished yet. Next turn when the player continues to build the ship, he'll get a bonus point.
[4]. A small-size ship is completed. Hit point (HP): 3.
[5]. A medium ship is completed. Hit point (HP): 5.
[6]. A large ship is completed. Hit point: 8.
[7] A magnificent ship is finished. Hit point: 12
[8] A monstrous ship is finished. Hit point: 17

It takes 2 turns for the players to sail from land-to-land.
- Turn 1: Build the fleets and prepare to sail. In this turn the players will lose their rights to attack 1 region (busy building fleets). But if they got [4], [5], or [6] in the last turn, they can still attack 1, or 2 region.
- Turn 2: They sail to the land they want to, and attack the coast region.

Sea battles:
When 2 ships of 2 enemies players meet in the same sea, they'll crash to the heat of battles.

When comes to the battle of 2 fleets, the GM will roll and see how well they fight.
GM will use the the ship with higher point (fights better) minus to the lower. If the result is...
[0]. A draw and no ship gets any damage.
[1] => [5]. The ship with lower point gets the damages of the result point.

The average point is calculated by all the points the ship got in the battle.

A ship of [7] or [8] won't sink when rolling a 1.

Example:
A medium-size ship (HP:5) vs a magnificent great ship(HP:10):
[2] [1]. The magnificent ship gets 1 point damage.
[5] [1]. The magnificent ship gets 4 points damage.
[3] [4] The medium-size ship gets 1 points damage.
[5] [2]. The magnificent ship gets 3 points damage.
[3] [4] The medium-size ship gets 1 points damage.
[3] [3]. 2 ships don't do any damage to each others.
[6] [1]. The magnificent ship gets 3 points damage and get sunk.

The medium-size ship wins.

Average point:
The medium-size ship: (2+5+3+5+3+3+6)/7 ~ 4
The magnificent ship: (1+1+4+2+4+3+1)/7 ~ 2
Players are allowed to give regions to eachother when these points of criteria are met:
The regions ceded to the other player must border the lands of the player the lands are ceded to.
When Player A has 100 regions and Player B has 100 regions, and the two of them border eachother, Player A can grant Player B his regions BUT: Since Player A will immediatly win if all 100 regions happen to be ceded to Player A, the regions rolled for will be cut in half up to the point the player won't win immediatly. For instance let's take Player A and B again. Player B cedes all his land 100+100=200 means win for Player A, 50 regions won't be rolled for, 50 regions are left. 100+50=150 mean Player A wins, so another 25 regions won't be rolled for. 100+25=125 means no win for Player A. The GM will roll for the 25 regions. 1-3 is fail, 4-6 is succes.
Once a player receives land from another player, he will have to deal with administrative problems caused by the sudden increase of regions, resulting in [-1] for three turns (up to ten regions) or five turns (eleven or more regions).
A player can refuse to receive regions.
*Saboteurs, spies and assassins can only be used once every three turns.

* To use a saboteur or assassin, PM the GM (which is me) and I will roll and post the results here as soon as I have them.

*The revolt system:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

An empire which gets 20 regions or more and gets two times [1] in a row have the chances to get revolts in some provinces which they got 3-5 turns (the rebels see that it's a good chance to revolt, since the Faction Leader seems to be very unlucky).

A player who loses all his region to another player, he will be able to make a revolt in two turns in the province which was taken by the enemy 1-3 turns ago. I will roll to see how the revolt is going to be each turn.The last and counted point is the average point.

And a player can also make revolts in others's empires by sending saboteurs. He can ask me through PM and I'll roll his point to see how it'll work, and usually will tell him the result via PM as well.

[1]: The saboteur fails to make a revolt, and he's caught. News that a Kingdom send saboteur to others will be announced publicly, which will surely reduce the relationship between the empires. In the next turn the next turn the player tries to send saboteur, he'll lose [1] point due the morale lost.
[2]: The saboteur killed while trying to create the revolt. That way he'll never be able to open his mouth and tell who's his boss. But the other saboteurs will lose [1] point the next turn they try to create a revolt, since fear is growing in them.
[3]: The saboteur fails to create a revolt, but he manages to get away with it.
[4]: The saboteur somehow succeed to create the disharmony between the people in that region, but the revolt doesn't happen yet. Next turn if he continues, he'll get the point + [1].
[5]: The saboteur succeeds to create the revolt, and turns the region into rebels.
[6]: The saboteur is better than you thought, when the revolt grows in every lands near the target region. The target is turned to rebels of course, and the saboteur can have one bonus point when trying to create the revolt in nearby provinces.

*Spying:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A player may use spies to gather informations from his enemy's region. When you want to use spies, PM me and tell the region you want to send your spy to, I'll roll and tell you the result:
[1]. The spy fails to gather informations, and he's caught. News that a Kingdom send spies to others will be announced publicly, which will surely reduce the relationship between the empires. In the next turn the player tries to send spy, he'll lose [1] point due the morale lost.
[2]: The spy is killed by the guards while trying to gather information in this place. That way he'll never be able to open his mouth and tell who's his boss. But the other spies will lose [1] point the next turn they try to go into other cities, since fear is growing in them.
[3]: The spy fails to get any informations of the enemy, but he'll have more chance (+[1]) to succeed in his next attempt.
[4]: The spy succeeds to get informations of the enemy and sends them to his leader. Now the land is well-known by the enemy, and when the spy's leader sends army to attack this land, they'll get a bonus point.
[5]: The spy succeeds to get informations of the enemy and sends them to his leader. Now the land is well-known by the enemy, and when the spy's leader sends army to attack this land, they'll get a bonus point. Next turn this nation can send 2 spies on actions.
[6]: The spy succeeds to get informations of the enemy and sends them to his leader. Now the land is well-known by the enemy, and when the spy's leader sends army to attack this land, they'll get a bonus point. Next turn this nation can send 2 spies on actions, with a bonus point to succeed.

*Assassinations:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When a player wants to kill someone quietly, he can send the GM a PM on his target. I'll roll and see the result.
[1]. The assassin fails the mission, and he's caught. News that a Kingdom send assassins to others will be announced publicly, which will surely reduce the relationship between the empires. In the next turn the player tries to send assassins, he'll lose [1] point due the morale lost.
[2]: The assassin is killed by the guards while trying to kill his target in. That way he'll never be able to open his mouth and tell who's his boss. But the other assassin will lose [1] point the next turn they do their missions, since fear is growing in them.
[3]: The assassin fails his mission, but he manages to get away with it.
[4]: The assassin fails to kill his target, but he manages to get away with it, with a better knowledge on his target. The next turn he'll have more chance (+[1]) to succeed his mission.
[5]: The assassin succeeds his mission and killed his target successfully.
[6]: The assassin succeeds his mission and killed his target successfully. This assassin's success will encourage other assassin on their next missions, which they will have better chance to succeed.

*A player who doesn't have any region in 3 turns will be eliminated.

*The new guys won't lose their region due Epic Fail effect in the first 5 turns. Nor will they be able to attack nations or be attacked by nations. The same counts for any other hostile actions. Saboteurs and assassins may not be sent by or to a nation that has been around for 5 or less turns. Spies are allowed.

*When a player has less than 3 regions, he may not send any assassins or saboteurs, nor may they be used against him.

*If a player don't reply in one turn, he'll lose the turn.

*The players shall do diplomat via PMs or whatever they want.

Diplomacy:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

There are currently few kinds of diplomacy:

- Trade rights: The first step to bring 2 nations closer.

- Alliance: Two nations are allied and with help each other in various things.

- Peace agreement: A nation offer the Peace Agreement in an amount of turns. In this period, no one can do aggressive actions against each other.
For example: Kingdom A offer the Peace Agreement to Kingdom B for 8 turns or something like that.

- Players are allowed to give regions to eachother when these points of criteria are met:
The regions ceded to the other player must border the lands of the player the lands are ceded to.
When Player A has 100 regions and Player B has 100 regions, and the two of them border eachother, Player A can grant Player B his regions BUT: Since Player A will immediatly win if all 100 regions happen to be ceded to Player A, the regions rolled for will be cut in half up to the point the player won't win immediatly. For instance let's take Player A and B again. Player B cedes all his land 100+100=200 means win for Player A, 50 regions won't be rolled for, 50 regions are left. 100+50=150 mean Player A wins, so another 25 regions won't be rolled for. 100+25=125 means no win for Player A. The GM will roll for the 25 regions. 1-3 is fail, 4-6 is succes.
Once a player receives land from another player, he will have to deal with administrative problems caused by the sudden increase of regions, resulting in [-1] for three turns (up to ten regions) or five turns (eleven or more regions).
A player can refuse to receive regions.

- Military access: With the Military Access agreement, the nations can bring army cross each other lands without fighting (unless they want to...). So they can get a shortcut to the land they want to get.

And remember that crossing a region will also cost you a turn.
Examples:

...And take the region.
[/COLOR]

- Gives regions: A player has rights to give another player a region as a gift. But the men's morale will be lowered in the next 3 turns, causing penalties to the chance to win.

*A player who loses all his region to another player, he will be able to make a revolt in two turns in the province which was taken by the enemy 1-3 turns ago. I will roll to see how the revolt is going to be each turn.The last and counted point is the average point.

* A player who doesn't have any region in 3 turns will be eliminated.

* Important Cities system:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When a player wants to build an important city, places a dot on the map, I'll roll and tell the bonus you're going to get for the city.

[2] Thieves's Guild: +1 points with spying once every 3 turns.
[3] Assassins's Guild: +1 points with assassinations once every 3 turns.

History:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

During the Attica Wars between the Queendom of Amazonia and the City State of Athens in the 900sBCE, a great and terrible battle was fought on the plains near the town of Heraclea on the north coast of Anatolia. It ended with defeat for the Amazons and many of them were taken prisoner. These prisoners were loaded onto ships bound for the slave markets in Greece.

As the fleet was sailing, an Amazon by the name of Antimache broke her bonds and helped free her companions and together the Amazons overpowered the Greek crew and took control of the fleet. These warrior women were not seawomen and the ships soon entered a storm. They crashed upon the northern shores of the Black Sea.

There they met tribes of people called the Scythians. The Scythians became very friendly towards the lost Amazons since they had many common interests, such as horses, archery, and war. They urged the Amazons to stay with them, but they were divided on the issue. Some did stay and together the Amazons and the Scythians formed a new people called the Sarmatians. Most of the warrior women left and followed Antimache north.

Lead by Antimache, these Amazons attacked the primitive tribes in the area and enslaved the men while teaching the girls. They forced the men to build them a settlement so that they could settle down and start to rebuild their lives. This settlement was named Vanahmier and it soon became a mighty stone fortress that the northern Amazons used as a base of operations. From Vanahmier the warrior women attacked all the surrounding tribes and subjugated them. The men of these tribes were so terrified that they named the women the “Valkyrja” which means “Choosers of the Slain” because the women would choose from among the defeated men which one to conceive a daughter with before killing him. The name stuck.

The Valkyrja were, and still are, very isolated from the world. They do not know any geography (except “forests and frozen lands to the north, grassy plains to the east and west, and Sarmatians [which were replaced with the Huns and then later the Cumans] and the Black Sea to the south”) and do not even know that the Queendom of Amazonia in Anatolia to the far south has survived. They do not take kindly to strangers and view everyone except themsleves as bad people one way or another.

Diplomacy:

Trade agreements with: none

Surplus resources that Valkyrja can trade (in order of how plentiful and how easily the Valkyries will trade them) : timber, furs, potatos, beautiful furniture, cattle, rhye, strong war-horses, and powerful composite warbows.

Alliances with: none

At war with: none

Military:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Women power: Under the Valkyrja Constitution and the Rights of Women, the Valkyrja military is a full time army of every able-body girl and woman. The Valkyrja are always at war and campaign through every season. Every time is viewed as a time of crisis (as there are sooo many evil men to defeat) and so every female between the ages of 17 and 44 are trained to fight. The culture of the Valkyries is semi-nomadic and so every woman has at least one horse and is expected at any moment to be ready to pack up and leave. The hordes of the Valkyrja numbered between 40 to 50 thousand women.

Organization: Hordes are divided into hosts of 10000 women each. Hosts are divided into syntagmas of 100 women each. Syntagmas are divided into lochoses of 10 women each. Within hosts are few syntagmas of infantry and foot missiles, but the rest of the host is made of horse archers and lancers.

Armour: The lands that the Valkyrja have dominion over do not contain many metals, and so most warriors have no armour. Only the elite corps of spearwomen, the Drakones, and the elite foot archers, and the elite lancer cavalry wear armour made from metals such as iron. The rest wear leather armour or just a tunic. Horse archer women are notorious for wearing nothing at all (except a belt with a quiver full of arrows attached) and do not ride with saddels or stirrups.

Weapons: Horse archers are armed with powerful composite bows and deadly arrows blessed by Artemis. Lancers are armed with the xyston spear and a kopis sword. Axewomen are armed with the sagaris throwing axe. They are equipped with a pelta-shaped shield. Spearwomen are armed with the doru spear and a xiphos sword. They are equipped with a large rectangular shield called a Thureos. Foot archers are armed the same as horse archers. All warriors have throwing knives as secondary weapons.

Special Forces: I have already talked about the Drakons, "Warriors of the Drakon," and the elite archers as well. A garriosn of 10000 of these elite archers, that are called the Agèma, guard the fortress of Vanahmier and protect the First Equal when she is there. There are also the 800 "Followers of Freyja" also known as "Berserkers" as they whip themselves up in a war frenzy and do not stop until all the men in their sight are killed. They are armed with the labrys ax and wear either bear skins or nothing at all except a terrifying iron mask.

The crusaders were completely surrounded, but they fought with the strength of God Himself. All seemed lost for the crusaders, until the True Cross of christ was lifted high aong the christian host. The image of the True Cross terrified the saracens, as they fled before the mighty crusaders. Jerusalem surrendered to the Crusaders, but the saracens continue to harry the christians of this reborn kingdom. Thus, the kingdom of Jerusalem must expand, and reclaim it's old Glory!

History

Shortly after Aesop's elimination in a jousting tournament in Ducmania, he prepared for the long journey back home, tired and disappointed. However, news quickly reached him that the Emirate of Bradavies had fallen to Anarchy and neighbouring rebels. In a state of shock, Aesop could think of nothing else than to flee Europe. He believed that those who had destroyed his kingdom where going to come for him next, so he decided to escape to the Far East. Disguising himself as a silk merchant, so as to slip through Amazonian and Sogdiana, Aesop began his journey, not knowing where it would take him... He eventually arrived in a strange land, in the depths of southern India. Aesop was now in his late 30's, and had grown very wise, picking up knowledge from all the lands and cultures along the silk route. The only reason he left the silk route was because he was ambushed by Persian men who 'didn't tolerate his kind'. He entered a large and surprisingly advanced city called Mysore, much more civilized than the various towns and tribal kingdoms he had come across in India. He was greeted by the then ageing King of Mysore, Mjikata. He explained how he has heard many wondrous stories about Aesop along the Silk route, most notably his scrap with the Persians (Aesop defeated all 10 of his attackers with nothing more than a hunting knife and an arrow tip). Aesop was invited into the grand Palace of Mysore, where which he explained to Mjikata he was once a great General. Mjikata decided to hire him to lead his small army; The Kingdom was having some trouble in a conflict with local tribes at the time. Without a heir in the world, and realising his time was quickly coming to an end, Mjikata promised to Aesop that should he be victorious in his fight against the tribal kingdoms, he was to granted his kingdom when he died. Much to Aesop's surprise, the Tribal kingdoms had banded together to form and alliance. 50,000 men stood across the river that Aesop and his 15,000 strong army had set up camp. By the time the battle had ended, 45,000 of Aesop's enemies lay dead across the battlefield. Aesop had lost just 500 men. The tribes were quickly purged as Aesop pressed his overwhelming advantage to finish of the kingdoms once and for all. By the time he had returned to Mysore, the entire region had fell to his sword. 5 years later, and Mjikata is long gone from this world. Aesop has spent the first 3 years of his rule consolidating his position as King, and it seems now finally that all in Mysore submit to his rule. However for Aesop, this is not enough, he has set his ambitions much higher than just Mysore. With the kingdom beginning a new golden age under his rule, the time is perfect for the Kingdom of Mysore to expand, and conquer.

The religion dictates that for great service to the state and to Benn, peasants can receive both spiritual enlightenment and physical power, as evidenced by the Supreme Instigator of Benn, Casherl Rift who has devoted his life to the cause and has been granted great material wealth by Benn (through the pockets of the many unbelievers that refused to accept the light).
Having founded his capital in Beththres Casherl sends Transfigurors to Convert the province to the south west.

History:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

During the Attica Wars between the Queendom of Amazonia and the City State of Athens in the 900sBCE, a great and terrible battle was fought on the plains near the town of Heraclea on the north coast of Anatolia. It ended with defeat for the Amazons and many of them were taken prisoner. These prisoners were loaded onto ships bound for the slave markets in Greece.

As the fleet was sailing, an Amazon by the name of Antimache broke her bonds and helped free her companions and together the Amazons overpowered the Greek crew and took control of the fleet. These warrior women were not seawomen and the ships soon entered a storm. They crashed upon the northern shores of the Black Sea.

There they met tribes of people called the Scythians. The Scythians became very friendly towards the lost Amazons since they had many common interests, such as horses, archery, and war. They urged the Amazons to stay with them, but they were divided on the issue. Some did stay and together the Amazons and the Scythians formed a new people called the Sarmatians. Most of the warrior women left and followed Antimache north.

Lead by Antimache, these Amazons attacked the primitive tribes in the area and enslaved the men while teaching the girls. They forced the men to build them a settlement so that they could settle down and start to rebuild their lives. This settlement was named Vanahmier and it soon became a mighty stone fortress that the northern Amazons used as a base of operations. From Vanahmier the warrior women attacked all the surrounding tribes and subjugated them. The men of these tribes were so terrified that they named the women the “Valkyrja” which means “Choosers of the Slain” because the women would choose from among the defeated men which one to conceive a daughter with before killing him. The name stuck.

The Valkyrja were, and still are, very isolated from the world. They do not know any geography (except “forests and frozen lands to the north, grassy plains to the east and west, and Sarmatians [which were replaced with the Huns and then later the Cumans] and the Black Sea to the south”) and do not even know that the Queendom of Amazonia in Anatolia to the far south has survived. They do not take kindly to strangers and view everyone except themsleves as bad people one way or another.

The Fierce Northern Amazonians strike north-west to secure more nearby tribal lands...

Alliances with: none

Military:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Women power: Under the Valkyrja Constitution and the Rights of Women, the Valkyrja military is a full time army of every able-body girl and woman. The Valkyrja are always at war and campaign through every season. Every time is viewed as a time of crisis (as there are sooo many evil men to defeat) and so every female between the ages of 17 and 44 are trained to fight. The culture of the Valkyries is semi-nomadic and so every woman has at least one horse and is expected at any moment to be ready to pack up and leave. The hordes of the Valkyrja numbered between 40 to 50 thousand women.

Organization: Hordes are divided into hosts of 10000 women each. Hosts are divided into syntagmas of 100 women each. Syntagmas are divided into lochoses of 10 women each. Within hosts are few syntagmas of infantry and foot missiles, but the rest of the host is made of horse archers and lancers.

Armour: The lands that the Valkyrja have dominion over do not contain many metals, and so most warriors have no armour. Only the elite corps of spearwomen, the Drakones, and the elite foot archers, and the elite lancer cavalry wear armour made from metals such as iron. The rest wear leather armour or just a tunic. Horse archer women are notorious for wearing nothing at all (except a belt with a quiver full of arrows attached) and do not ride with saddels or stirrups.

Weapons: Horse archers are armed with powerful composite bows and deadly arrows blessed by Artemis. Lancers are armed with the xyston spear and a kopis sword. Axewomen are armed with the sagaris throwing axe. They are equipped with a pelta-shaped shield. Spearwomen are armed with the doru spear and a xiphos sword. They are equipped with a large rectangular shield called a Thureos. Foot archers are armed the same as horse archers. All warriors have throwing knives as secondary weapons.

Special Forces: I have already talked about the Drakons, "Warriors of the Drakon," and the elite archers as well. A garriosn of 10000 of these elite archers, that are called the Agèma, guard the fortress of Vanahmier and protect the First Equal when she is there. There are also the 800 "Followers of Freyja" also known as "Berserkers" as they whip themselves up in a war frenzy and do not stop until all the men in their sight are killed. They are armed with the labrys ax and wear either bear skins or nothing at all except a terrifying iron mask.

Sanjar Hasanov recently has united Azeri people around Baku and plans to unite all Azerbaijan. But not only Azerbaijan, but restore the Caliphate itself. Muslims have been weakened a lot, with no strong leader. Sanjar Hasanov plans to restore it, and bring back glory to Muslims again! Not only he's Azeri, but he also has Arabian bloods from Umayyad Caliphs themselves. So his place as a Caliph is only righteous.

Many years ago, Jerusalem fell to the Saracen infidel of Egypt, Syria and Persia. Long have their filfth corrupted the sacred city of Christ. But no more! 10 years ago, the great Badouin led the final crusade, to reclaim Jerusalem in god's name from the saracen hordes. Thousands of christians rallied around the banner of Badouin, and they sailed for the Holy Land of Christ. Badouin landed in Jaffa, defeating a large muslim host that had gathered to stop the Crusaders. He marched for Jerusalem, laying siege to the city for 6 months, surrounding the saracen hosts. Starvation and dehydration took it's toll, and the Sultan's of Syria and egypt gathered a great army to fight the invaders. The crusaders were completely surrounded, but they fought with the strength of God Himself. All seemed lost for the crusaders, until the True Cross of christ was lifted high aong the christian host. The image of the True Cross terrified the saracens, as they fled before the mighty crusaders. Jerusalem surrendered to the Crusaders, but the saracens continue to harry the christians of this reborn kingdom. Thus, the kingdom of Jerusalem must expand, and reclaim it's old Glory!

God Wills it!
