The High Assembly of the Suddewmen have reviewed the proposal of the Commonwealth of Escotia and finds the terms generous and entirely acceptable.

Let it be so!

The treaty will be ratified at the next Snow Day.

Grawr... I don't like all these buggers strolling around my area!

[WaterMonkey314]

I'm a bit confused by the combat - is the city defense factor 0 or 1 because it's an open hex?

(If anyone wants to run combat for me, just use the prev post to seed battle 1 and this to seed battle 2, and then I'll edit these posts to have the battles.)

Edit: End of turn report:
6. Resolve combat:

none now - hurray!

7. End turn report:
K8 - City Auria, lvl 5 - 1 infantry
K10 - City Argenta, lvl 4 - 1 infantry

J7 - Field units - 3 infantry, 1 cavalry
H7 - Field units - 3 infantry, 1 cavalry

Watermonkey, my most noble and estimable Ally,

It appears that you cannot reach the Encom forces from your city of Feria with Infantry.

The Encom forces are in H6 and J6, not 7.

To answer your question, though, forces in the field have a defensive factor of 1.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Oh, yes, envoys.

Should probably use those myself now. But I think it makes more sense to wait for my turn before making an action, even though the rules would allow envoys. Personal taste, engaging in diplomacy should be one of those things you can only do on your turn.

[Crovius]

1. Calculate Income from Cities
100 Schumuckers from Turn 1 + 110 income = 210 Schmuckers
2. Build and Upgrade Cities
Upgrade Indigo to a Level 3 (-30 schmuckers total)
Build a new City at G1 (-10 Schmuckers)
3. Create New Units
Pop 1 Warlord (Wartortle) at Azure. Pop 4 Infantry at Cerulean
4. Pay Upkeep on Units (if you can’t afford upkeep, remove units until you can)
14 Infantry x 3 = 30
2 Calvalry x 6 = 12
1 Warlord x 10 = 10

210 - 52 = 158 Schmuckers remaining

5. Move Units
Move 3 Infantry from Indigo to G1
Move 4 Infantry from Cerulean to Indigo
Move 3 Units from Amethyst to I1

Cities:
C3 - Azure (Lvl 5, capital): 3 Infantry, 2 Calvalry, 1 Warlord(Wartortle)
E2 - Indigo (Lvl 3): 5 Infantry
D1 - Cerulean (Lvl 4): 1 Infantry
G1 - Amethyst (Lv 1): 4 Infantry

Field units
3 Infantry at I1

[The Black Hand]

The ENCOM infantry, in their stylish black uniforms with a cyan cylinder on the front, spy the approaching Escotian forces and hastily throw up earthworks while they relay this information to their leader, Sark of Mainframe, and request instructions.

Some time later, an ENCOM envoy approaches the gates of Feria, piloting a Solar Sailer.

"Ahoy the Escotians! Why do you seek to interfere in the establishment of our towns of Twenty Six Hundred and Hakin Nine? We wish only to provide places of rest for Escotian trade convoys bound for the Frigid Northlands!"

[WaterMonkey314]

The envoy is connected by Thinkagram to a Senior Associate Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Commonwealth of Escotia:

"Greetings, sir! We apologize for the inconvenience and undue stress: it seems that our military central command had less than usable intelligence regarding the movement and intention of ENCOM forces, which combined with the political pressure of the Escotian military-industrial complex, regrettably led to . Oh, and that's strictly off-the-record; the official line is that our internal map-making department misplotted the locations of Serverfarm and Uplink as well as the approaching forces."

"The problem is, Escotia is also seeking to establish a central trading post for herself at either H7 or G7. Should ENCOM both of its planned cities, this would become impossible for Escotia. We ask that ENCOM reconsider its plans."

[The Black Hand]

"Ah, I see. It seems that reliable intelligence is hard come by these days - we ourselves had thought you might be seeking to engage the construction brigades thus dispatched, thinking them a hostile force intent on engaging the defenders of Feria."

The envoy paused, and studied his map.

"We could relocate Hakin Nine to sector K-5, which would permit the construction of a trade post at H-7, and provide a waystation for any convoys bound for Nawnian territory. Would that be a suitable compromise?"

[Twoy]

An envoy from High King Peter approaches the gates to the capital city, Mainframe.

"Will you ever end turn, your majesty?"

[WaterMonkey314]

"Ah, I see. It seems that reliable intelligence is hard come by these days - we ourselves had thought you might be seeking to engage the construction brigades thus dispatched, thinking them a hostile force intent on engaging the defenders of Feria."

"We could relocate Hakin Nine to sector K-5, which would permit the construction of a trade post at H-7, and provide a waystation for any convoys bound for Nawnian territory. Would that be a suitable compromise?"

"Yes - this would be an excellent resolution to the potential conflict. Once again, diplomacy shows it's power!"

OOC: I'm out of town till Sunday; I'll try to keep up on my phone (as I'm doing now) but I won't be able to do terribly much typing or formatting.

[The Black Hand]

An envoy from High King Peter approaches the gates to the capital city, Mainframe.

"Will you ever end turn, your majesty?"

Sark himself answers the envoy.

"Patience, good sir. Diplomacy is a delicate matter-"

He then tilts his head to one side, listening to his own envoy's Thinkagram, and grins. "-But it can also be surprisingly swift. I must return now to the Master Control Center, and relay the final orders to my field commanders."

Map to come soon-ish.

[LTDave]

Map after my turn 3.

Spoiler: show

[WaterMonkey314]

Er... This will be interesting. I'll try to put my turn up tomorrow, but if not I'll be back Sunday.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Some corrections to the map from my side: Pawis (A9) is Level 2, and I have no units in the open field. The 3 Infantry at N8 were ordered to N6.

[Twoy]

Map Errors:
E10: Wessud is missing an infantry.

ENCOM:
Your city at H6 needs a name.
Your final disposition of forces is missing "No Name City" and its two infantry.

I have a couple of recommendations for Erfworld Empires v1.5. Should I post them here, or should we make a separate thread?

[The Black Hand]

ENCOM:
Your city at H6 needs a name.
Your final disposition of forces is missing "No Name City" and its two infantry.

The city at H-6 is named 2600.

(I have, however updated the DoF).

Sark responds to the Woman envoy.

"I do believe this would be wise, as I have spotted Blastoisian forces encroaching on the roads from Mainframe to the Frigid Northlands. An alliance of mutual defense, then?"
