Anagaea: An Era of Empires

[Plethora]

No, I would assume that he's have half a dozen heirs by now. But to have one ready for the throne is a bad political move. Power hungry sons have killed more kings than old age has.

Orders not to attack any of Erinaum's soliers, ships, fotrifications, &c. have been given out.

I'm not sure I'll let Slaine surrender, it's been a thorn in my side for too long, always siding with my enemies. I can't immagine why. Jealous of Avalonia's wealth?

[SWAT One]

You really think a King would be stupid enough as to not bear a royal heir earlier on?

Rulers aren't able to raise support from a panicked people that quickly.  Not even great rulers can.

[Tomcat]

The remaining one million troops that defend Slainte are called north to push back and fight against the 500,000 troops that Erinaum sent to pillage, ultimately pushing them out and destroying half of their force with overwhelming numbers. The other 1,000,000 troops come back to defend Slainte and attack Erinaum by the south side. Slaintei miners are called in to dig under the gigantic wall put in place.

I'll surrender with a army of 2 million and a remaining 1.5 million civilians, all trained in basic axemanship and bowmanship.
Also I'm sure that barbarians would actually sympathize with Slainte, as a nation of former barbarians itself.

You forget that in history, the barbarian mercs today have been attaching the Slaintean tribes for centuries.  Nothing will stop an age-old conflict.

Erinaum's ships cripple the Slaintean sea fortifications.  The EE attack by night, shooting down the laborers and the guards keeping watch.  The holes are promptly filled.  The Northern front digs several trenches and brings in crossbows and catapults.  The Erinamian army receives an upgrade in armor, using steel plating instead of lacquered leather armor.

Slainte us still fighting a four-front war.  This isn't going to turn out well for them.  Unfortunately, while Erinaum spent its time making itself self-sufficient, Slainte spent loads of time, money and resources on a civilian army.

Erinaum requests Avalonia to strengthen the Western blockade and the barbarian Eastern siege.

[Mikoyan]

Rossiya Imperii's Best 'Bessmertnyĭ' soldiers take the opportunity of Most of Erinaums soldiers in Slainte and begin pushing into Erinaum. They have seized 10 miles of Erinaumian land.

In a four front war? Against who? I gave land to you, and I'm sure some of your civilians are sympathetic to us from that. Slainte never had any sea assets, and you attacking only made us fortify it more. 1 million troops are each deployed to each side of Slainte, beating your entire army's strength. They also do civilian jobs too.

You have yet to pass a 23-foot-thick wall.

1). You are being attacked by Erinamian war vessels from the west, The EE from the south behind a huge wall, from the Northern Erinamian front, from the Eastern Avalonian/barbarian mercs.

2). People of Erinamian heritage already lived in that area.

3). Now you are being entirely unrealistic.  You would've been without food shipments from abroad for a year now, and supporting a civilian army for that long and of that size, with constant activity is absurd with the amount of supplies you are left with.


I am tired of my enemies scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.  At the state the Slainte drove itself to, I am surprised a revolt didn't happen yet; it's people aren't complete Stoics.  This is how Russia failed in World War I.


Erinaum's armies weren't destroyed and all the fronts hold out on either side, but are weakening to the North.  Erinaum requests assistance from Avalonia.  Erinaum begins to store massive amounts of food in major cities and ships 18 tons of grain to Avalonia and the barbarian mercs.  Use it wisely.

It put way too many troops into the war and while a communist revolt broke out in 1917, it was forced to withdraw.

Slainte is under similar conditions.

Afterwards russia moved to europe, where they turned into a bagel and preformed 37 love acts on the superman of coca cola

Oh. I thought you meant Russia lost to the Central Powers

[Plethora]

A civilian army never wins a drawn out war. Wales fell to some English king that way, Henry VIII maybe? Anyhow, he starved them out. They lost.

Overall, Swat is right, you're just making a last ditch effort that really, in a realistic scenario, would have ended a while back, and would be history by now. And as to your army of however much, you don't seem to have taken any casualties, or are just making up crap about the numbers.

Avalonia's barbarian army (which has no sympathy for Slainte, as Slainte allied itself with Caprica which opressed the barbarians) is reinforced with warriors from the fighting tribes of the far side. They have undergone basic training, and provide a ferocious supplement to the average barbarian. The army continues to march into Slainte, leaving a bare plain of scorched earth behind it.

I didn't even know Russia was in WWI. Guess they didn't make too much of a difference.

[SWAT One]

Slainte is being rediculous...  Not even the Germans could handle a two-front war with the biggest, most fortified country in the world.

[Tomcat]

Calling the kettle black. Winning a war with only 700,000 troops against at most 1 million troops and managing to push them back five miles without one casualty or defeat to show for it? please. Being able to curb stomp everything in your path, even Rossia Imperii soldiers without a scratch is unbelievable.
As to the Germans, you don't have strategic bombers. Even Rome, with a smaller army than us, was able to hold out for centuries under attack from all fronts. You see, out country can uphold a civilian army because everyone is able to act independently or under one rules as they see fit. Slainte never had any trade, relying on hunting and gathering, and occasionally farming to survive. That hunting and gathering also gave people fighting skills.
