*** Turn 3 ***

Inventory

125 pieces of gold (corrected due to my wrong assumption about the cost of the cards)
66 Staves
200 loaves of bread

(I would like someone to take the role of the paymaster, to handle any need in bread. I will not use the bread at all, but some others may need it. can somone volunteer?)

Quick ledger for reference:
20 gp starting + 20gp from cache + 10 gp for two days of holding mine + 60gp from beggars cup + 90 gp from miser's stash = 200gp

1 card on D1 + 2 cards on D2 + 9 cards on D2 = 12 cards x5 gp = 60 gp

6 shields bought on D3 + 3 swords bought on D3 = 6x1 + 3x3 = 15 gp

So...

125 gp remaining

Orders
If your actions involve attacking or revolting, please post in the appropriate thread here, do not do it IG

Arthur_loxley --
Lynna --
Teclara -- defend power
Vienna -- defend power
Ifigeny -- defend power
Dewaugh -- go to shrewsburry
Killed -- move to birmingham through worcester
Teh_uberness -- REVOLT!!!!
Lordrichy -- REVOLT!!!
Pr0pheT -- claim mine
Lady_bunny -- defend power

Yesterday, Lordrichy asked me how to revolt. Please don't do it IG, post in the appropriate forum thread in this forum. Also, when someone defends the power, he or she does not have to do it IG. He or she just has to be at the town he wants to defend and he or she can take whatever action he or she wants. Just post in the appropriate forum thread (Blue team movements) that you want to defend.

Tactics

The situation seems to clear out. We need to build up our defense of Shrewsburry. The reds will either attack there, or build up the forces in Stafford and harass us by claiming our posessions. If they do not attack quickly, we will go to an attrition war, where our advantage of mines will give us the edge. As 3 more agents are moving to the east (Killed, Arthur, Lynna) it is also possible to win this by force. However our main objective is to get the win by claiming all the towns.

We have no clue as to what cards the reds are playing. We have to assume that the independent nodes have enemy forces on them. For that reason, our lower power agents need to stay safe, their role will be greater in the following turns.

I expect to meet with Killed and Lordrichy in two turns in Birmingham. Then we will create a group with a sizeable force and start working on the east towns.

More specifically in Shrewsburry, the enemy has a total of 20FC, which could be augmented by 3x5FC (swords), -1x5FC for us (shields) and 5th column cards, should they decide to move to Shrewsburry. I don't think that they will commit so many forces at once, but should they move there we will have there, tomorrow, when Dewaugh arrives, 10FC agents, 8 FC weapons, -3 FC shields. We can boost the defense with 2x6x 2FC levies armed with staves and play the mercenary for another 4 FC (with staff).

The way I see it, it is 35FC/-5FC (plus cards such as 5th column and levies) vs 46FC/-3FC. Shrewsburry is safe and we should not play cards there now. Our cards this turn should help us build up forces. I suggest playing the beggars cup to get more cash and use it to buy more cards, and leave the Stone Trade for later as we are only going to make 20 out of it.

What do you say?

Ludlow
Aelroser (??)

please, someone in shrewsburry confirm status of Ajtan. also whether Aelroser is still in Ludlow?

Teh, LB and the people in Shrewsburry should try to recruit people in groups to defend the power. These people do not have to "waste" their move for the day to defend the power. If, for example, Teh gets 2 1FC individuals in his group and claims, in this forum, that his group is defending the power, I think that TRC is considering all of them to be defending.

sounds good to me

Ajtan is still in Shrewsbury if that is what you're asking. I have Vienna to help me defend in Shrewsbury, 2 FC..

Aelroser has left Ludlow today, whereabouts unknown. Rhenova is still in Lichfield

I was asking whether ajtan is still in a group. As for aelrose, we can only assume he is heading towards shrewsburry

What about if I have a group and revolt that day. Is my entire group considered to be revolting? (there are two other people in my group at this time)

No.

All your group members have to post in here that they are revolting. Revolts and DTP aren't 'follow the leader' actions IG.

Hey man.
Arthur says (2:27 PM):
heya
i was waiting for you and i just took a job
Jorne says (2:27 PM):
So, I'm starting to understand the war games...
Arthur says (2:27 PM):
oh yea?
what's going on lol
i'm so out of the loop
no time
Jorne says (2:27 PM):
Oh?
I heard Blue Team bought 10 cards. xD
Arthur says (2:28 PM):
spy
Jorne says (2:28 PM):

Arthur says (2:28 PM):
i think they may be buying some more

Jorne says (2:28 PM):
The Red team knows quite a bit actually.
Arthur says (2:28 PM):
everyone thinks i know the rosters lol
keeps asking me for info
i said i dunno! i'm not involved lol
Jorne says (2:29 PM):
Oh yeah? Rhenova thinks Lynna and you are rebels.
You don't have to answer that or anything, I enjoy the mystery.
Arthur says (2:29 PM):
lmao
i dunno about lynna
but she is just following me lol
and i'm following you
to give points
Jorne says (2:29 PM):
xD
Arthur says (2:30 PM):
how many more points do you need?
Jorne says (2:30 PM):
Hmm, right now. I won't need any, but I don't know how long this Army will be running for.
I found another issue again.
Arthur says (2:30 PM):
ugh what issue
Jorne says (2:30 PM):
While in "Normal mode" I can only hire 1 person per day in the Army rather than the stated 2.
Arthur says (2:31 PM):
do you think it is a bug?
Jorne says (2:31 PM):
Well, it does state that a maximum of two can be hired daily.
Arthur says (2:31 PM):
yes i remember
and you have enough points
Arthur says (2:32 PM):
so can't be that.
Jorne says (2:32 PM):
Yet when I went to offer a second job, it told me that I must be in the concentration phase to hire more.
Arthur says (2:32 PM):
oh
Jorne says (2:32 PM):
I've been taking notes of things I thought were important to note.
Arthur says (2:33 PM):
that is good
to keep track of
and update the army guide
Jorne says (2:33 PM):
I was also wondering.
What the maximum organization level for an Army is after creation.
Since the creation maximum is 60.
Arthur says (2:34 PM):
yes. but in a battle
only 40 turns go out
so if you have around 45
it ensures that you get all 40 hits
and if let's say 5 ppl die in the course of the battle
Jorne says (2:34 PM):
Oh, you use an Army Point for every combat turn?
Arthur says (2:34 PM):
you still have 5 to hit
nope just for movement
recruitment
or assignment of LO/PM
Jorne says (2:35 PM):
Oh, I think we're talking about two different things.
Arthur says (2:35 PM):
oh.. let me reread lol
by organization you mean soldiers?
Jorne says (2:35 PM):
I wanted to know the maximum amount of Army Points an Army can hold.
Arthur says (2:35 PM):
oh 250
sorry
Jorne says (2:35 PM):
Ahh.
Arthur says (2:35 PM):
that's why they recommend half that
Jorne says (2:35 PM):
It's called, "Organization Level" on RK so it can get confusing.
Arthur says (2:35 PM):
100-120ish
i never been general so i didna know
Jorne says (2:35 PM):
Also, I appointed a Logistics Officer.
Jorne says (2:36 PM):
And wasn't penalized any points.
Arthur says (2:36 PM):
it takes 10 points
no?
wow
bug
don't report it
Jorne says (2:36 PM):
I had 50 points, hired Thistletumbler and then went down to 49.
I nominated him as Logisitcs Officer, and still have 49.
Jorne says (2:37 PM):
Unless, it takes a day to process.
Arthur says (2:37 PM):
well make sure
after reset
cuz that is important
Jorne says (2:37 PM):
I will. xD
Arthur says (2:37 PM):
for the guide
Jorne says (2:38 PM):
What's the difference between an "Ally" and "Friend"?
Arthur says (2:38 PM):
ally you fight together
Jorne says (2:38 PM):
Is it for specific individuals?
Arthur says (2:38 PM):
friend you each encounter the enemy
Jorne says (2:39 PM):
Hmm..
Well, friends it gives me a list of Armies to select from.
But Allies just askes me to type a name in.
xD
Jorne says (2:40 PM):
List of friendly armies:
arthur_loxley
I typed your name in, and it added you to the list of friendly armies.
Arthur says (2:41 PM):
i'm not sure. i will find out for you
by asking ppl in ireland lol

You can recruit people to play the game. They might not all end up on your team, because of the need to keep things balanced. So far, it's been even in terms of recruiting.

Civvies don't count.

You appear to have given yourself an extra axe
