Orlesian social positions : Noble Path : Emperor/Empress Various nobility positions (Duke, Earl, Baron, Count) Chevaliers Squire Clergy : White Divine(Just known as the Divinie.Female only) Chantry ranks(I think the old proposal has these) Chantry Ranks(Andraste) Divine Grand Cleric Revered Mother Mother (This and above are Female only in Andraste Chantry. Imperial allows males in every position) Sister/Brother Lay Sister/Lay Brother Miscellaneous: Mercenary Grey Warden Bard A new Emperor comes to power in Orlais and times are indeed favourable. To the north east, the power of Nevarra, that once rivaled the Orlesian Empire, is fading and declining due to dissent that is being funded by the Empire. To the far East, the Kingdom of Ferelden, under the reign of King Alstair, has managed to fight off the Fifth Blight, but left their military power in a fragile state. The re-conquest of Ferelden is very tempting for the new Emperor wanting to prove his prowess to the Empire and his subjects. The policy of non-violence against the Nevarra in the Dragon Age shall be respected...for now. Trade with the Kal-Sharok, a thaig of the Dwarven people, has proven to aid the Empire's economy, which has slowly recovered since the High Dragon attacks on Orlais during the Fifth Blight. Now in this age of violence, known as the Dragon Age, what will the new Emperor do? Where will he steer the Orlesian Empire towards? Peace...or war? Major threats: Nevarra and Ferelden Uprisings : Ferelden-Orlais Border : Cult of Andraste remnant raiders from Haven Peasants Darkspawn remnant Val Royeaux Elf uprising Orlais proper Peasants, Darkspawn, random creatures(Dragon?) We also aim to have four mods/trusted players to have these major positions: - Lord Marshal of the Orlesian Military (My claim!) - Knight-Divine/Knight-Vigilant/Supreme Commander of the Orlesian Templars (Rosen's NPC Claim) - White Divine of the Chantry of Andraste (Rosen's Claim) - First Enchanter of the Orlesian Magi - Emperor of the Orlesian Empire (Sirius's claim...Andraste have mercy )
Defined Abilities: Rosen's powers : Declare an Exalted March(Crusade) Approving the Right of Annulment if the Templars request it. Using the Seekers to interrogate people who may threaten the Chantry from the inside or out. Forces : The Seekers of Truth (Unknown numbers) Probably a unit of Templars as Bodyguards ( 50?) Income : wip. LM's powers: - Declare War in cooperation with the Emperor - Declare regency and assume authority till the crowning of a new Emperor (if previous one is deemed insane or unworthy) - Supreme command over all Orlesian armies Forces: - Personal levies from Dukedom (either Jader or Halamshiral): Unknown - Bodyguard unit of Orlesian soldiers (will make a more specific name eventually): 50 - 100? Income: wip Rosen's Idea: Income(Province-wise) Val Royeaux- 25,000 Sovereigns Jader- 20,000 Halamshiral- 12,500 Montsimmard- 10,000 Orlesian Main Provinces- 7,500 Border Provinces- 5,000 Divine- 12,000 Grand Cleric- 10,000 Revered Mother- 7,500 Mother- 5,000 Sister/Brother- 2,500 Lay Brother/Sister- 1,500 Noble Positions : Empereur du Orlais- 12,000 Duc- 9,000 Comte- 7,500 Vicomte- 6,000 Baron- 4,000 Chevalier- 2,500
Credit: Sirius Soldier, Battle, Commander, etc Soldiers Levy- Basic troops, weakest however free and regenerate after each battle (from land) Mercenary- Relatively expensive one time payment, alright strength, no upkeep or regeneration (from mercenary rolls to show availability) Professional- Expensive, upkeep costs but best units available, regenerate after two years (always available) Commander traits Characters have a command value, this value denotes their prowess in battle. A number of traits add and subtract from this value and can be gained through various things (traits wip) Ranks give command stars, the highest rank +5, lowest rank +1, freedman +0 Field Battle rules 1. Initial battle chance for either side: 50% 2. For every 100(0) soldiers more and 5% is added to one side and 5% taken from the other 3. The difference between the two command values is added to one side and taken away from the other respectively 4. Each levy soldier is worth 1, each mercenary is worth 5 and each professional is worth 10. These scores are added up to find an armies total value. These values are then compared and the difference worked out, if this difference is greater than 10,000 +10% is added, 9,000 +9% is added, 8,000 +8% is added, etc... Example Emperor Jacques- 6,000 levy, 4,000 mercenaries, 5,000 professional- Traits and values +10 command Duchess Sophia- 1,000 levy, 2,000 mercenaries, 10,000 professional- Traits and values +3 command 1. Start: EJ- 50% DS- 50% 2. Number of soldiers: EJ- 15,000 DS- 13,000 EJ- +2%= 52% DS- -2%= 48% 3. Command values: EJ- 10 DS- 3 EJ- +7%= 59% DS- -7%= 41% 4. Soldier Type EJ- all values together= 76,000 DS-al values together= 111,000 DS has a score of 35000 more than EJ so she gets +35 to her roll End percentages= EJ- 24% DS- 76% DS is attacker so the first 76% if rolled she wins EJ is defender so if the last 26% are rolled he wins Ideas for specialized units: Orlesian Imperial Guard The Chantry's combined Seeker and Templars Qunari(if we come across them) Golems. Dalish(Archers only) Mabari?
