Dtrik 330 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Always War The year is 890AD, the Roman Empire has fallen long ago and the many culture of the land surrounding England have invade. The Danes, Celts, and Saxon tribes of the region were the initial invaders. For many decades the separate cultures kept to their original practices but over time, several began to blend with the populace. With the ambitions of rulers, raiding parties became settlers across the island. The Saxons were the first to fully integrate into England, becoming the Anglo-Saxons. Christianity hit with the influx of these new settlers causing several of these Anglo-Saxon tribes to forgo their initial pagan ways to that of God’s light. On the west the primary group of peoples were the Danes, being led long ago by Hulfgar the Red, claiming to be the descendant of Thor. This initial tribe having been broken into several chiefdoms under dozens of rulers claiming the title of Ruler of Danes. From the East invaded the Celts, warriors of blue paint and bare bodies. Being some of the first raiders, they found little interest in settling until later causing them to be some of the last to colonize the land. Under a united druid cult, the many celtic rulers often balance the worship of the forest and its spirits with their ambitions to conquer one another. A new times has come and the realm is changing. Will the new rulers of this age solidify their families claim to the rest of England? Rules Cultures to choose from are: Danes | Celtic | Anglo-Saxon Religions to choose from are: Cult of Druii | Christianity | Norse Your culture is a general majority of your populace but does not constitute it as an overbearing majority. Each player is the status of a High Chieftain/Petty King. You can choose any culture and any religion. This game will be heavy on diplomacy between players. Areas not occupied are open territories that could possibly be filled by players or NPCs at a later date. Each player gets 1 city as their capital of your choice. Your city can be placed anywhere on the map within your territory. Each plot gets 5 towns to place anywhere with your choice of naming. Towns and cities do not produce gold themselves, instead the population of each determines their income, this equation is determined by: Population/1000=Income Investments into cities and towns are required to allow continual growth, you can also expand to create new towns at anytime but that can come at the drawback of easy raid targets. Your capital starts off at 200,000 population and towns have 45,000 population. Multiple builds can be built and contain different bonuses. Troops have their own block for costs and maintenance. Trading is a useful asset that provides 20 gold per partner that connects to their border. Navies maintain an upkeep based on the type of ships. As this is a pretty early time there are a few ship types. (Triremes, Longship, and Sloop) Triremes are good navy versus navy ship, Longships are transport ships that move troops and are the core of raiding, sloops are scout ships that can recon. Starting off you get 10 points to put into different categories to give you a start game bonus. -Gold: 1 point = 200 gold -Heavy Infantry: 3 points = 1 Heavy Infantry Unit -Mixed Infantry: 1 point = 1 Mixed Infantry Unit -Ship Package: 4 points = 2 Trireme, 5 Longships, 1 Sloop -No Unit Maintenance For First 3 Turns: 3 Points -Extra Population: 2 points = 25,000 Map (Scotland and Ireland are not available for picking) Copy the image, fill in your spot, and post it.

UnusualBrit 2052 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Culture: Anglo-Saxon Religion: Christianity County Name: Wessex Brief History: The Kingdom of Wessexs has existed for a few hundred years, and a few years ago it’s existance was threatened by the rise of the Kingdom of Guthrum. The crafty Danish King had been losing the war against Wessex until he employed a master stroke; he bribed the noble men of Wessex to remain quiet when he attacked the capital of Winchester while the people of Wessex celebrated their christian festivities. This plan worked and he caught the city off guard, capturing it easily as well as Alfred the King of Wessex himself who had failed to escape. Guthrum executed him and declared himself King of Wessex. He held this position for a few years until Alfred’s son Edward seeking vengeance rose up in revolt and defeated and killed Guthrum and his supporters on the field at the Battle of Winchester. The Kingdom has been deeply troubled yet this young King is ambitious and seeks to conque r the remnants of Guthrums former Kingdom. Ruler Family: N/A -Crown Ruler Edward the Elder -Crown Consort Ecgwynn -Crown Prince/ess Aethelstan -Prince/ess Several Possible Internal Rivals (Please name 3) 1.) The Barons of Wessex, while many of the wealthy lords who had betrayed his father who had been slain by the Danish King Guthrum were defeated at the Battle of Winchester by the young Edward along with their new King, then subsequently executed. Many powerful lords still remain and this is still a grave issue threatening the young King’s position as King of Wessex. 2.) Edward’s cousin, Aethelwold the son of Alfred’s brother. 3.) The Church, the Church may not always agree with Edward’s policies. Though their support in these matters is paramount, Edward must find some way to secure their support.
