Emirati Expansion

[ulti]

OOC: Proposed new territory in Brown. Can a mod please tell me strengths of opposition so I know a reasonable force to attack with. Cheers

[jakev2]

Most likely very weak. Only the coastal region would have any real population, but it may belong to a nation you could declare war on by attacking. Arthur will need to confirm this.

[ulti]

Would be nice if Arthur could confirm this

[ulti]

Here are my troops...


3,000 Emirs of Dubai (Elite, Light Cavalry)
3,500 Horse Archers (Veteran, Horse Archers)
10,000 Emirati Swordsmen (Professional, Medium Infantry)
14,000 Levy Infantry (Veteran, Light Infantry)
15,000 Spearmen (Soldier, Spearmen)
10,000 Wadhi Marah Archers (Professional, Archers)
3,500 Horse Archers (Veteran, Horse Archers)
14,000 Levy Infantry (Veteran, Light Infantry)
15,000 Spearmen (Soldier, Spearmen)

Obviously this is a little overkill but anyway...

648000
756000
400000
336000
210000
400000
756000
336000
210000

Total: 4052000

This means your sending almost your entire force, not a great move, plus the fact you havn't got enough left to defend your zone. Just re-think it, you probably won't need so many troops anyway in your area

[ulti]

Well if there was better communication between moderators and players I wouldn't have to post so much. Currently I don't know what I'll be facing, or how many.

[kingsid]

Good point right there. PM arthur, he seems to be more caught up in other matters and probably hasn't even taken a look at this.

[Agamemnon]

Sorry, been at my church's fall thing.

It would be very weak, army would be $500,000 max.

[ulti]

Righty ho then, here's a more realistic army:

3,500 Horse Archers (Veteran, Horse Archers)
10,000 Emirati Swordsmen (Professional, Medium Infantry)
14,000 Levy Infantry (Veteran, Light Infantry)
15,000 Spearmen (Soldier, Spearmen)
10,000 Wadhi Marah Archers (Professional, Archers)

Led by Prince Saful Al-Zayed, second in line to the throne.

[kingsid]

I decided to help out a little since no one seems to.

2000 Camel Riders (Recruit Light Cavalry) = 120,000
10000 Arab Villigers (Militia Spearmen) = 40,000
10000 Arab Spearmen (Watch Spearmen) = 80,000
4000 Arab Archers (Soldier Archers) = 112,000
3500 Arab Strongmen (Professional Medium Infantry) = 140,000
100 Elites of C'nuth (Guard Heavy Infantry) = 8,400

Total: 500,400
Led by: Malmalok Pasha, Traybo, Ali Askori

Tribes unite to try and kill the treat of there people being destroyed. They band together Tribesmen and try to ask for other Arabs to join in to save there land. Malmalok Pasha gives a speach saying he will not give up till the last drop of blood. (You can engadge in diplomacy)

They will defend the main mountain which is a good natural fort (Big black dot) and they will spread scouts out (Small black dots) to track there movement.

[Agamemnon]

Yeah, I'll accept that, thanks Sid.

[ulti]

OOC: Cheers

IC: Prince Saful and guards ride forth under the flag of parlay - they will offer the tribes a chance to surrender, or face certain destruction.

[Agamemnon]

اللعنة عليك الأحمق

I'll let you translate.

[ulti]

The Prince spits on the ground next to the man and rides off, preparing the army to march to war - they head for the fort.

[kingsid]

OOC: Np man. But I wouldn't expect them to say that arthur, I think thats ridiculoes more like "Not even if the gods demanded it will you walk on our land and rape our women scum!"

[Agamemnon]

OOC: It was meant as a joke, basically he's not a very nice arab.

[ulti]

OOC: Anyway... doesn't really matter now

[kingsid]

OOC: Still think your being unrealistic.

[ulti]

OOC: Me or him?

[kingsid]

OOC: Arthur, I'd think he would at least try and nagotiate since the odds are looking really bad for him.
