Fireheart 2768 Share Posted February 27, 2015 A forceful de-militarization of the South, Naval Superiority The abandonment of the Dwarvish naval port in the East meant the expansion of the Kingdom’s power over their enemies’ water. Thanks to the colonists sent by Lord Franz I of Vladovic, the port town and fort was taken. However, all the ships that were previously at bay were now long gone. They now sit at the closed and vulnerable bay near the Grand Kingdom’s capital. And so it had begun, the counts, barons, and dukes of the Kingdom all took it upon themselves to construct a broad navy spanning to massive galleons to a new breed of warships, the Steam Boat. For strategic purposes, these warships are faster than their predecessors while taking up large amounts of coal to power them. They pack a punch for those witnessing its might, the HMS King Daniel. So therefore, those of the Kingdom of Oren’s mass arsenal set sail for the bay of the vulnerable Dwarvish warships for King and Country, for the Canonist faith, and for Glory! The skies fill with smoke in the Southern Isles as the fleet makes its journey towards the defenseless ships, trapped in the bay. After the passing of Port Davier, the Orenian fleet closes in on its prey. Ever so closely, the fleet makes anchor around a few isles, out of vision, to plot. In the next hour, they raise anchors and perfect the steam engines, rams, ballistas, and catapults, and men-at-arms ready to seize the day. Type of Battle: Pillage Time & Date: 3/8/2015 5 P.M. EST Attacking Forces: Reformed Kingdom of Oren and Allies.

This also includes that they can do what they want willingly to captured ships.

Goldrim 1421 Share Posted February 27, 2015 February has 28 days. :^) I'll give my reply tommorow, I'm personally fine with the terms and date, but I still need to talk to others. Besides, we most likely already have a warclaim on Hiebenhall this Sunday. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naj 540 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ((Ok first of all, what region exactly are you war claiming? The ships are parked in the dwarf region after they were moved from the south port. Second, I'm a bit confused on how humans suddenly have steam power? Usually this was strictly associated with dwarves and more specifically the engineering guild.)) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOC: I will go ahead and answer your first question while we wait for an answer to your second one. So this war claim is a pillage war claim. We are not seeking out to conquest any lands or waters for that matter. Basically the boats will meet up in the bay that the dwarven ships are currently parked in and we will do a navel battle. Back in 2.0 these were extremely fun and brought a lot of fun PvP and RP to the table and I would like to recreate those times. If you would like an actual region name I can give you that, but I believe there should be no confusion to where this is taking place based off the RP context of above in the war claim post.

Naj 540 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (( A naval battle would be fun. However, it doesn't change the fact that the war claim is invalid. Due to the Hiebenhall war claim it would be a double. I think both parties would be fine to meet up and skirmish on boats. If its no problem with the staff team, it would probably more ideal and a lot more relaxed and fun.))

((Don't see why it wouldn't be possible to have them both on weekend, having 1 planned out battle per week will just prolong the war. It's not as if loads of time is needed to prepare for this one too. Just a matter of dropping a message in Skype for people to get online)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is led by House Vladov and the 1st Orenai Regiment thus there should be no problems with double war claiming despite it being allowed or not. As for multiple war claims on the weekend, the current war claim system was designed to allow this. There has never been written anywhere that two war claims can not happen on the same weekend. It has even happened in the past if I am not mistaken. I will only wait for a response to your original second question, but further questions can be taken in PMs unless you believe they should be publicly shown.

In that statement he confirms that this is not a war claim from Oren. ((Just to be clear, I knew nothing of this. It is not an official Oren warclaim)) So to now answer your second original question. After asking I have confirmed that steam boat technology has been with the humans since Anthos (3.0). If you researched it there are past forum post on the RP. If you have an actual concern that you wish to carry further it can be directed through PMs from here on out. I apologize for any confusion this has brought you.

Lima 773 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So to now answer your second original question. After asking I have confirmed that steam boat technology has been with the humans since Anthos (3.0). If you researched it there are past forum post on the RP. If you have an actual concern that you wish to carry further it can be directed through PMs from here on out. I apologize for any confusion this has brought you. Toxzero's ''steam ship'' right? He just said he learned it one day to my knowledge after stealing it and saying he knew how to it worked. ------------------------------------------------------Lori looks down on the ugly little ships, wishing they were gone in all of his being for their faulty and terrible construction from a stark king's pipe dream. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
