Transmedian Trade Post

Requests to the nations of Windsoria, Eiichi, and Campestribus are sent out, requesting the ability to construct small trading posts within their nations. Should they accept, they will allow each nation to build trade posts on the island of Helena which is quickly becoming one of the largest trade hubs in the world.

An expedition of 20,000 men and aboard 3 ships are sent out Northward on the continent of Evropa. They land on the beach hesitantly and begin to march inland, their goal to set up a trade post further inland to be patrolled by the group. (Land Claim + Trade Post on V)

In addition, a Dreadnought dubbed the T.R.V (Transmedian Republican Vessel) Bucephalus is commissioned to be built in the popular port city of Corsicaya.

(Costs, assuming all accept: 3x2000d = 6000d / 25,000)

55,000 - 6,000 - 25,000 = 24,000 Total Treasury)

Assuming success, Transmedia would gain wealth from O, P, N, V, and Z for a total of  29,250d per turn. 

TOTAL TREASURY: 24,000d
TOTAL MANPOWER: 150,000

The Empire of Oceanus 

 

 

 

Diplomatic Missives are sent to the Republic of Andor, Republic of Tazman and Republic of Kuanesh raising the concerns of the Empire concerning the what is now referred to as the disputed islands as the Empire had no localized name for them. Due to the Empire's recent Pacific Coast expansion there is conflict brewing mere miles off its coastline. The entirety of the Imperial Navy is located in the Atlantic so there are no threats made due to the inability to act on them. The Empire through the diplomatic missives would politely request conflict Cease for now.

 

The Emperor being a marine naturalist passes legislation that heavily restricts whale hunting activity within the Ocean Claims of the Empire, the Imperial Navy with nothing better to do in peacetime will patrol the Atlantic Ocean combing the waters for Whalers who'd try their luck in Imperial waters. The Emperor calls upon the Kingdom of Windsoria and the Evropean Commonwealth to also restrict Whale Hunting due to the Emperors apparent like of Sea Creatures.

 

The Buzzard Fighter Plane nears its close in terms of the research, with an Aeroplane factory ready to build the aircraft soon the Domestic Air-force of the Empire will be unmatched worldwide. A secret it will closely guard to deter invaders as the Empire seems to have only interest in Continental expansion rather than annexation of nation states.

Campestribus Response

 

“What?! How dare those thieves raid our shores and our ships?!”

 

The Grand Princep slams his fist into the table in the Mercantile Palace’s conference hall.

 

“Grand Admiral, you must and you will put an end to this. Are we clear?”

 

“Yes sir. The navy will assemble a plan.”

 

“Good…”

 

The Navy officers convened in the naval base in Valenza. They sent small scouting ships, quick and small, they scout the pirate ships to find them scattered raiding the straight. The Admiral and other officers start planning. A three front attack, since they are scattered one solid attack would most likely make them join together, thus the 30 ship strong navy would divide into three groups.  

 

 

Each small fleet would have 1 dreadnought 2 cruisers 3 destroyers 2/1 frigates 2 corvettes ((2/1 meaning that the one on the left only has one frigate)), the middle fleet’s job would be to separate two pockets of ships, if successful it would divide the pirate fleet into two small and heavily unorganized fleets. The Dreadnoughts, Cruisers and Destroyers would bombard the pirate vessels and the frigates and corvettes would do quick strikes and retreat, generally dreadnought 2 cruisers 3 destroyers 2/1 frigates 2 corvettes aiming for fuel and ammo storage in the ships while the heavier ones would bombard the deck. One Zepplin would even fly over dropping bombs, although much of them would miss it would mostly be to confuse the pirates, of course said zepplin would fly above the range of the ship's cannons, only dropping below that when the ship was too busy defending himself and was not looking up at the skies. Once ready the crew inside would drop one or two bombs and quickly rise up.

Transmedian Republic Quick Action Post



The High Admiral orders an immediate recall of all non-exploratory ships, a total of 27, to be recalled and launched into the Western Transmedian to deal with the pirate threat. Knowing they are rather outnumbered, the Transmedian fleet hails the Campestribus one and the two fleets coordinate their efforts. While the Campestribus fleet acts as the hammer, the Transmedians would be the anvil. 



The battlegroup moves in a tight formation, and also bring something new to the field, Zeppelin bombers. The bombers sit high over the seas communicating via radio with ship captains down below in order to properly coordinate a strike on target. A total of 5 are deployed due to their incredible cost in both manpower and drakes. When pirate ships approach, the Zeppelins move in above their targets high above the clouds and begin to drop their payloads, leaving nothing for the ships below to do as their enemy is largely unseen. 

The Transmedian Republic announces an official declaration of war against the Vrak pirates.

This new war also becomes one where the Transmedian Republic begins to realize the strength of aircraft at sea and the necessity for more than just slow moving, easily targeted Zeppelins. A way to transport and deploy aeroplanes at sea is devised, and the Aeroplane Carrier is born. 

Invention Type: Military
Invention Name: Transmedian Aeroplane Carrier
Inventor: Transmedian Navy
Description: The T.A.C was born from necessity. The new war with the Vrak pirates brought about the idea for a way to deploy new aerial weapons at sea. Moving airplanes from the coast would take far too long, and as a result would lead to disasters at sea as planes quite literally ran out of fuel. Instead, the idea was made for a sort of mobile refueling station upon which planes could land on and deploy from. The T.A.C was born.

5.000 troops move to the pirate hide out in Campestribus to set it ablaze. Any loot, resources and ships are captured. Any hostages are freed and any pirates are captured and sentenced to execution by firing squad. If it succeds of course.

[dirtryhary 26]

Republic of Andor

 

The Anodrans had drawn first blood, and that's what the Queen wished. Instead of chasing the ships that escape, the navy is immediately ordered back. They still had a few days if not more ahead of the coming Kuanesh fleet. Zeppelins keeping an eye out in the sky plotted the best course for the navy to escape. Zeppelins from the mainland start to evacuate RPA from the Andoran island. The Transports would slow the navy down, and are left behind. The Kuanesh on the other hand would have to go as slow as their transports or risk leaving them undefended. The southernmost island is formally abandoned by Andor. They instead pass title of ownership to the Empire of Oceanis, free of charge. 

 

In the mainland, the senate passes a new levy of troops. Calling from city militias, a full five thousand new troops are recruited. This would bring the Republican People's Army to fifteen thousand men. The Dragoons corp could boast a multitude of zeppelins, and five thousand troops. The Andoran army was small, but it's well led, trained, supplied, and organized. Andoran officers attend war colleges, and are naturally charismatic and cunning. Others may have large armies of power, but the Andorans have a very small and very elite army.

 

Four thousand RPA and one thousand Dragoons load onto zeppelins. The Republic would begin to expand it's influence further inland on the continent. Not having to be slowed by traveling through the thick jungles, they could just hop from population center to population center. Who knew what they'd find deep in the jungle. (Mod plz.)

 

Work continues of a national stock exchange and Zeppelin factory. The canal also continues as planned, running smoothly. Throughout every Andor city, factories ramp up production. They are preparing for a huge event, but for now that event is kept hidden.....

 

The United Kingdom of Windsoria's trade pact is accepted. Andor's main exports were jungle wood, gold and silver, glass pieces, and nifty inventions for entertainment or utility purposes. The Queen wishes to have a meeting, to talk further.

Empire of Eiichi

 

 

With the completion of the national trade hub at Seinu, money would begin to come in. Also complete were the plans to the Fubuki-Type Destroyer, a truly "modern" destroyer that would be the only type of destroyer built from that moment on. 5 are ordered for the price of 25,000 Yue, and a stock exchange is built with another 25,000 (75,000-50,000=20,000).

 

Accepting the Transmedian offer, 2,000 is spent on building a trade post in their node, for a trade income split between the two of 3,250 each. (20,000-2,000=18,000). The Republic of Kuanesh is asked for permission to build a trading post in its Central Pacifica island chain, and in return would be allowed to build a trading post in Eiichi's trade city of Seinu, and if accepted, would lead to a total trade income of 9,250 for Eiichi, and a treasury of 16,000.

 

A diplomatic envoy is sent to Fenris, with a letter bearing the Imperial House's seal.

 

"To the duchy asking of our intentions on the continent, I would reply thusly; we wish to hold ownership of trade along its southern coast, and no more. You would be free to have a trading post there, should you accept our declaration of friendship proposal. In return, once we claim the trading 'node', we will expand no further north. I believe this is a fair deal.

 

Emperor of Eiichi by right of House Yamaterasu, Yamaterasu Teiko."

 

At the same time, the current movements of Eiichian colonists are as follows;

 

 

Colonial forces with an army of 10,000 expand along the already colonized, and apparently low-inhabitance, southern coast of Ruasia.

 

A colonial army of 25,000 soldiers, accompanied by 1 dreadnought, 2 cruisers, 5 destroyers, and 2 frigates, is dispatched to the nearby peninsula, where they would begin to assimilate or crush resistance before setting up. Their goal would be the control of trade flowing through the small market town/city-state there. ((Assumed to be small because it has a low trade worth))

 

A colonial army of 15,000 soldiers, accompanied by 3 cruisers, 4 destroyers, 3 frigates, and 2 corvettes, is sent to the large island south of Eiichi, where they would begin to subdue natives and set up a township.

 

That left the 120,000 troops permanently stationed in Eiichi, and the 30,000 Imperial Army still on the main, as Eiichi's ships go on constant patrol around its waters.

 

Invention Type (Military/Civilian/Etc): Military

Invention Name: Mitunbishi Ziiro ((Essentially the A6M5 Zero))
Inventor: Jiro Hiruta
Description (At least a DETAILED paragraph): A long-range fighter aircraft, with excellent maneuverability and very long range compared to other airplanes, the low-wing cantilever monoplane layout allows it significantly better dogfighting potential than biplanes, and its enclosed cockpit also enables such. It is made of Duralumin, a type of light aluminum alloy, and coated in anti-corrosion coating. The fuel tanks are self-sealing, and very, very light armor is provided behind the pilot's head.

 

With a normal range of 1900 miles at 410 mph, this could be considered the cousin of Eiichi's long-range missile in the works.

 

It has three slightly differing variants, Type A having armaments instead of a cannon, thus going faster but with low strafing potential against non-air opponents, Type B having four racks of rockets or bombs on either wing, armored glass, and an extra plate of armor to fight a very mixed battle, and Type C outfitted to be quieter and be used for night raids, with two areas on either sides that could be fitted with racks to drop bombs.

The Euro-Windsorian Confederation

 

The offense of Waelicia was progressing rather smoothly, with ATV ressupplies whenever the ships came close to European coast the bombardment went on with no interruption. The troops on the ground were equiped with tools to start fires, as nearby fields and forests experienced attempted ignition.

 

 

Confederational Regiments making up 30.000 were send to Waelicia to support the ground troops, a repeated letter demanding surrender was send.  While the military awakens, 200.000 troops mobilize towards Montepellier for future deployment. With the Windsorian settlements in northern Europa consolidated, construction for new cities begin.

 

{Mod} The villages to the east are met with an European envoy, discussing the planned eastern expansion and potential military intervention if undermined. These villages are invited to join with full autonomy and preservation of their religion, or would either need to face more controversial measures. For these measures to be much easier in the future, a new research was initiated.

 

Invention Type (Military/Civilian/Etc): Military
Invention Name: Masaryk-1
Inventor: Jean-Luc Marchand
Description (At least a DETAILED paragraph): A new versatile vehicle that could launch highly explosive ammunition with the correct crew available. With its new covential crane and aim possibilities, the fast reloading Masaryk-1 will replace the artillery of the former era with its ATV engines and higher accuracy. Its cannon can also be aimed a 90 degrees to do a frontal offensive if necessary.

The motion picture industry expands as propaganda and entertainment become an integral part of Confederational society. Mostly praising Gerard Masaryk, the propaganda campaign brings unity to some, but to others sincere doubt of the legitimacy of this nation.

 

 

Although generally praised as a hero in Windsoria and even Evropa, many silenced political factions understood that the European Federation was merely a plate of take-away in the eyes of the Windsorian delegates.  Many of its national resources, manpower and funds were now used for Windsorian interests with the general population of Europa left remarkably poorer than Windsorian citizens.

 

 

But poverty doesn't matter when you have a budget for a new Tank Factory. To produce the Masaryk-1 and future types of armor, the Chairman initiates its construction in Valentia costing the confederation an expensive 100.000.

The Republic of Kuanesh

As much as the Andorians played off the clash with Kuanesh as a victory to their people, they had nevertheless been forced out of the Pacific. The first marines land on the southern island about 36 hours after the evacuation is completed, and assume control of the deserted colony as the navy commandeers the transports left behind. Upon securing the land, the entire marine force of 20,000 men depart for home as soon as the voyage can be organized, along with 2 cruisers, 3 corvettes, a destroyer and a frigate. The remaining 20 ships remain to form the Eastern Fleet. As it is the most developed and in the most strategic location, the southern island is chosen to host the permanent naval base for this fleet, and will now be called the island of Nampale. Once the marines begin to return home, 5,000 army regulars are dispatched to garrison the islands.

Once back in the core islands, the returning soldiers are given two weeks leave, and told that some of them will be shipping out again. A new expedition has been planned...

As civilians begin to arrive in the Mangolis, a proper trading port is established there, and Kuanesh comes to dominate the Eastern half of the transpacific trade with Eichii. (-2000 Rupiahs, +9000 trade income for exclusive rights) To ensure the stability of this route, the republic officially sends an ambassador to Eichii, and accepts their proposal for free trade across the western half of the Pacific. (-2,000 Rupiahs, +5,250 trade income for shared route)

The remaining 1,000 rupiahs in the treasury are used to commission four corvettes, to be completed very quickly.

Stats:

Army: 150,000 army regulars (5,000 en route to eastern islands)

50,000 marines (10,000 stationed in mangolis, 20,000 en route to core islands)

Imana Jùn

 

 

To the east of the continent known as Truncatis lay the ancient lands of Imana. Imana’s emergence into the annals of history can be split into three sections; the Warring States Period, the Heian Period, and the Turmoil Period. With the births of new civilizations came countless city states who each vowed for control. Those who populated these cities were descendents of a wave of Sino-Japanese immigrants that had arrived some centuries ago, as well as native Latin Americans who the immigrants assimilated into their ranks. For over three hundred years the city states fought for control of resources and political strength. Though they had arrived by sea, the constant warfare amongst their neighbors soon caused a focus into land warfare causing even coastal states to develop mere transports and trade vessels while weaponization was advanced. Roughly around 1000 AN, these warring city states saw themselves slowly absorbed one by one by a state known as Imana. The General-King Ashikaga Xi victoriously led a rapid campaign of expansion throughout the region until Imana held hegemony over every last city state. Thus ended the Age of Warfare, and in came the Age of Peace.

 

The Heian Period ushered in a new age of unification, peace, and prosperity. The monarchy under the Xi Dynasty saw an expansion in trade, advancements in technology, and the dismantlement of loyalty to ones city and instead was focused onto Imana itself. Neo-Confucian values coupled with old world Shinto principles set roots deeply into the state, and the officials were picked through their understanding of such policies. The Junshou, Imana’s equivalent to a king, was advised by his privy council made up of state educated nobility. While internally all was peaceful, the era did not see a complete secession of hostilities. Often times, foreign raiding parties from neighboring regions within the dense jungles would emerge speaking strange tongues and wearing odd cross-like pendants. Skirmishes were common, but Imana would learn to grow accustom to jungle warfare. This era saw a further deterioration of proper naval advancements; only ships concerning trade or transportation of troops would ever be made. The sea was seen more of a way to acquire food and currency, not a place for battle. But nothing could ever stay as it was, for soon came the Era of Instability.

 

The Turmoil Period first began in 1250 AN. After a century and a half of general peace and prosperity, people that spoke a strange but similar tongue came to the shores of Imana in droves. With them they brought odd religions, languages, and ideas. Many originated in the western isles of which Imana had little knowledge of. They were at first looked upon with guarded eyes but soon the native Imana looked on with fear. The stability of the realm was fraying at the seams as these west islanders’ flooded cities and towns, demanding rights and freedoms of which the Imana had never taken part of. Ever so slowly, while the nation industrialized, tensions simmered among the new arrivals and Imana. The nation was weakened with these foreign influences but it would live on. It hoped.

---===---

Present

 

Junshou Iwamori Qin Xi sat within the throne room of the Grand Palace, located in the nations capital of Mimori. An hour ago he had tended to his court of advisers who once more discussed the issues that faced the realm. Iwamori's father, his grandfather, and countless other monarchs had sat in the same situation for close to two centuries. "All because of some immigrants.." thought the lord with a frown. But he was determined to make a mark in history, the Xi Dynasty had not been given a heavenly decree to rule Imana for nothing after all. And so he set forth drafting documents late into that star lit night.

 

A decree with the royal seal is sent forth declaring for the immediate construction of trade posts (-25,000 Kichi) across the nation. He would not sit idle while gold flowed. The national currency known as Kichi is further propagated through the realm as construction begins.

 

The Imanan army begins key reforms to once again bolster the nations defenses. Recruitment is maintained throughout the state. In the following years the military would be broken into subgroups but for now 25,000 troops are sent for specialized training.

 

 

In an effort to boost moral among the citizenry, Iwamori broadcasts a speech via the radio.

"Citizens of our fair nation, here me! We have endured a great hardship through these past years, and each one of you have been effected on a personal level. But today, we will rise from our stupor, out of this fog of unease, and rebirth into a shining realm! Let us once more rise to prominence! Glory to Imana!"

And with that, the broadcast ends. Iwamori sniffed. He was never one for good speeches, no matter how much divine blood he had.

 

As the Junshou returned to his royal court, a messenger bursts through the door. A paper is thrust into his hands by the red faced man who now rasped for breath. On the paper was written a comprehensive report of strange new arrivals. Arrivals that were armed and looked what could only be described as "grunt like" in their military uniforms. It seemed that for once, non-immigrant related business had arrived by sea. Odd news indeed. This would be attended to soon enough.

Battle Post

 

The Andorans heard about the raiding force almost as soon as the raiders neared their waters. Thanks to scouting Zeppelins, they always had an updated picture of what's going on around their nation. The navy was allowed to slink to their coast, and raid villages of no tactical value. This gave the Queen the time she needs to muster a proper response. From two nearby coastal cities, one thousand Republican People's Army units are dispatched. From the capital itself, two thousand elite dragoons are sent by Zeppelin. Following them are twelve zeppelins, custom built for ship killing.

 

The four thousand men would join together, and move stealthily through the jungle. They would try to ambush the troops  preoccupied with raiding, and drive them to the beach. If the troops tried to flee onto the transports or ships, the bomber zeppelins would swoop in. They would be vulnerable at a standstill picking up troops, and the ships would be bombed quickly if they do that. It was a larger group of sailors and a complement of troops fighting four thousand elite troops on their home land, the battle could go anyway.

 

As for the Tazmun ships in Andoran waters, they had no zeppelins or scouts sent out. They would not be able to tell the fifteen strong Andoran navy and twelve more zeppelin bombers were behind them. Retreating from the loss/victory of the island chain, they had blood on their minds. The five other ships of Andor had merged with them. The navy would expand into a crescent, and hammer into the Tazmun. The twenty four bombers would sink low, to ensure critical hits. The eight thousand troops that were evacuated form the island are mainly kept away. However three thousand of them are landed nearby, to act as a reserve. In the crucial pint of battle, they would charge in to tip the scale.

 

When the Tazlund raiders are driven to their last molecule of resistance, they are given an offer directly from the queen.

 

"Unlike the Kuanesh, my word is good. You can believe what i say. I shall let your troops escape unhindered, provided they give the loot they acquired back. Your navy will be allowed to pick up the troops, and leave scotch free. In return for your failed expedition's lives, I demand one dreadnought, a cruiser, two frigates, and four corvettes. If you refuse then your entire navy and troop complement will die for nothing. I also demand a non aggression pact to be signed, to end tis."

 

The Zeppelin Factory is completed, and production begins on Andoran customizable battle zeppelins.

[Sneaky 189]

The Noctem Republic

 

As the council convenes its meeting the smiles of many of the council members can be seen as the had received news of successful taking of the island towards the west. They immediately plan their final expansionary plan, that would allow them to seize control over many global trade routes. Thus allowing for them to expand their income.

   Immediately following the capture of the island a small band of 3,000 men is sent to the biggest of the chain of islands. Once there they would go to make contact with the local tribes/cities/villages, to establish a line of trade. The men would offer the tribe or nation a trade deal that would allow Noctem to build a small trade post on their island. (-2,000)

 

More expansionary policy is taken to the south, almost to the point where the Remnants and Noctem are touching. With the expansion being where a critical trade route lies. The civillians would start construction of a trading post right away.. (-2,000) 

 

The African Remnants is asked if Noctem could start construction of a small trading post in their land so they may both prosper from trade. (-2,000) 

 

The Noctem Navy starts its expansion,

Kingdom of Eeyerland

The airplane factory employed thousands in Galway Valley, and the king himself showed up to review the state of the art factory. Right now it produces scout biplanes, to be sent ahead of fleets or aircraft fighter groups to identify targets. However, half of the factory stands ready to switch production to the PW-190 that is nearing completion.

Trade hubs are set up in whatever countries accepted the deal, increasing the national income by ((don't know by how much, someone work it out for me please cos I have no clue)). <Treasury: 35,000 potats>. With the opening of the market square, national trade spikes. <+15,000: 50,000>

A fleet of ships head over to Amerigo, to scout around. If there were no settlements, the ships would return to Eeyerland and herald a colony fleet. If settlements were found, the ships would lower any incrimination of them being Eeyerish and would instead hoist Windsorian flags, then raid said settlements.

The Empire of Oceanus

 

 

The National Stock Exchange had been completed. Now was the time for the Empire to truly be a beacon of modern economic growth using the advantages of its own stock exchange. The private enterprise of the Empire could finally trade itself on the stock market in Empire City, the Economic Hub of the Empire. The Empire was on the rise in the area, not involving itself in conflict but remaining neutral and waiting.

 

With the Aeroplane factory completed some time ago and the completion of the research to create the Buzzard Fighter Plane the factories set to work creating these new planes for the Imperial Air force of Oceanus. Soon within the immediate area of the continent Oceanus would be unmatched in the air with its state of the art fighter plane.
