Aniki Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 The Fall of Rome STORY Theodosius is dead, and his empire is divided. Now Rome lives in evil days. Barbarians stand at Rome's gates, waiting to strike. To the eastern deserts are the Persians, ready to reclaim their lands. The West and East Empires are allied, but cannot trust each other. Europe will soon enter the dark ages as it is plunged into war. INFORMATION 1. Choose a nation that you wish to lead. 2. Once a superior nation has defeated you, you are eliminated from the game. 3. You may attack only once per twenty-four hours. 4. The number of territories you capture is determined by the last digit of your post number. To gain your post number, 'quote' your attack post and switch to coded view (The switch on the top-left corner of the full editor). Added to one-tenth of your total territory count, rounded down. You may only capture a maximum of 12 territories per attack. For Example: Oda wishes to attack the shamefur Ashikaga Shogunate. The last digit of Oda's post was 5, and her total territory was 42. 5 + 42/10 = 5 + 4 = 9 territories captured from the Ashikaga. You may also attack in a specific way by pointing out directions or landmarks. For Example: Sweden attacks Denmark from Jutland. Sweden attacks Denmark from Sjælland. 5. You may attack by sea, but only if the coast is very close. The Saxons are an exception, but only when invading Britannia.6. West and East Rome are allies, but they can betray each other.7. The glory of Rome is over. Its military is weak, and its leaders are worthless. West Roman attacks will use the same attack formula, but the resulting number is divided by 4, rounded down. East Roman attacks are subject to this, but the resulting number is only divided by 2, rounded down.8. The Scourge of God is quickly moving to the west. The Huns gain one additional territory per attack. STARTING MAP Nations: Western Roman Empire (Empress Aneki)All that begins must end, and the reign of the old empire is over. But can you defend it, even if it costs your life?Territories: 205 - 90 Colour: Imperial Red Eastern Roman Empire (Emperor Stray Cat)Constantinople possesses the power to become great. Can you utilise this?Territories: 59 - 20 Colour: Imperial Purple Franks (King Maefdomn I)The Franks are the ones who formed France, and the western areas of Germany.Territories: 31 + 31Colour: Blue Saxons (King Tiag of Varela)The Saxons, specifically the Anglo-Saxons, invaded Britannia to form the Kingdom of England.Territories: 9 + 20Colour: Orange Huns (Crysis the Hun)Lead by the Scourge of God, the Huns will happily watch your world burn.Territories: 34 + 43Colour: Grey Goths (King Kurisu)The eyes of the Goths are set on Rome. Will they succeed or will they disappear trying?Territories: 12 - 3Colour: Red Sassanids (Shah Babiker)Persians, take up the sword! We shall soon retake what was ours!Territories: 18 + 28Colour: Cyan Vandals (King Solidbatman)I intended for them to be in North Africa, but let's keep this slightly historically accurate.Territories: 13 + 6Colour: Brown Other tribes (Lombards, Alemmani, Sarmatians, Slavs) aren't playable. They're there as a temporary barrier against the Huns.OBJECTIVE Hold Rome until 475. The game will end on 2 November. So, basically, this will only take a little less than a week. Quote
Guest Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 It's obvious that I'm going to be a Frank isn't it ?! When will the game start ? Quote

Crysis99 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Hmm... since none of them particularly interests me, I shall take up leadership of the Huns. We move Westward attacking the Western Roman Empire. (Is there gonna be any role playing?) Quote

Stray Cat Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Would attacking the Goths by sea be a valid move? Quote

Stray Cat Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 You border the Goths by land, so I don't know why you need to embark. Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Well, I'll be the Saxons. Let us decide our move then... Hmph, It can only be one, can't it? The Anglo-Saxons shall embark and invade Brittania! There are great Kingdoms to be formed! Quote
Aniki Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 Can I attack only 1 nation? If not could I attack the sea borders of both the Goths and Sassanids? Quote
babiker Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I want the Sassanids! And if I am to become the Shah of Persia, I order my war elephants to ram the Iraqi cities under control of the Eastern Roman Empire! Quote

Kurisu-Chan Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I want to assume direct control on the goth territories. And i attack the western roman empire by the west. Quote
solidbatman Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 And I'll head up the Vandals since thats all thats left. And I'll attack that little pink country to my West. Quote
Katatsumuri Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 King Kata of the Vandals, aware of the scourge from the east, will take his' people on an exodus to new lands, fleeing from the horde. His first order is to take his' people southward, towards the coast, where they will construct ships. Ships to cross the mediteranian Edit: Dammnit, Bats Quote
Guest Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I attack Ani's Roman Empire ! =3 Let's share territories Edit : 1+31/10 = 4 ... shiat Quote

Your Post: 4 Your Strength: 1 Your Territories: 5 My lord, we have attacked the lands but be warned; our Vandal neighbours may not ignore this. And I'll head up the Vandals since thats all thats left. And I'll attack that little pink country to my West. Post: 1 Strength: 1 Territories: 2 My lord, we have gained more territory with our relatively weak army. King Kata of the Vandals, aware of the scourge from the east, will take his' people on an exodus to new lands, fleeing from the horde. His first order is to take his' people southward, towards the coast, where they will construct ships. Ships to cross the mediteranian CIVIL WAR! Yes, these are actually the Xiongnu. But no one would notice, right? A pretender has appeared! The kingdom of the Vandals have been divided. Will the Vandals be united once more, or will the pride of the two kings destroy themselves? NOTE: Vandals have been divided into two. No other penalties. Pretender Vandals (King Kata) Territories: 5 (1/3 of the empire) Post: 2 Strength: 1 Total Territories: 8 I attack Ani's Roman Empire ! =3 Let's share territories Edit : 1+31/10 = 4 ... shiat My Lord, the Romans have reinforced the Rhine, but we have defeated them! Let us move to victory! EVROPAM CDIII Quote
Katatsumuri Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 CIVIL WAR! And in exhibit nr 1, we see what accidental double-posting can do. King Kata hands the Vandal crown to King Solidbatman. Also, since the divide was purely accidental (I wish to apologise, and let you know that the people responsible for giving news to the population, have been sacked) and done due to accidental doubleposting, I wish for the merge to be instant, and not count as a move. But, I want every piece of land west of the rhi- (my apologies, the people responsible for sacking the aforemented people, have been sacked) And on another note, the people responsible for shamelessly stealing Monthy Python jokes, have been sacked.

Oh dear, and I have hoped for something interesting. The lands that you have captured as the Pretender Vandal shall be reconquered by Rome, by the way. Quote
Katatsumuri Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Oh dear, and I have hoped for something interesting. A king should know when he have and doesn't have enough strength to protect his' people. Also, "A house divided cannot stand." Something thst you romans should see fit to ponder... The lands that you have captured as the Pretender Vandal shall be reconquered by Rome, by the way. So be it. And before I fade into obscurity, I just wish that I could do more for my people... Quote

Katatsumuri Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I shall prove you wrong. I may not be capable of reclaiming the glory of Rome, but I can certainly defend at least Italia. In that case, I look forward to seeing this unfold, as I move to the spectator-bench. Good luck to ye all... Quote
SilverLi Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Good luck with your game. It sounds intriguing. Burn down Rome and Constantinople! Quote
