I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

Seris offers (to Romekate) to withdraw military forces in exchange for free land passage through the current warzone and continued technical cooperation. This is provided that Seris is allowed to continue providing war material to Kyrev and Espovon and prevent Acronian or Avalonia ships from sailing down through the West.

if you're truly doing it to preserve the art, then cede sunyong.
ok

we won't accept vassalage/puppeting though

ok

ceding sunyong won't end the war, it'll prevent art damage. we're still pushing for your oil fields.

We will agree to this armistice so long as you do not directly intervene in any theatre past the waters.

oh ok well that sort of prevents the purpose of defense of our nation which id prioritize over art really

negatory on that then

After some time of consideration, a new plan is put into effect. As power is handed down to the young Kornél II, a speech is held in the capital. During it, the people are told of the current situation with New Romekate. The people are told as it is; They are under the assault of a force, and are under the threat of absolute capitulation. Knowing the economic difficulties it will bring, any able-bodied man is called to war out of honor and defense of their country, before showing to those a greater danger that looms over their homeland. In the speech, the men who choose to remain pacifist are discredited and criticized for their lack of patriotism and willingness to let their nation fall.

As the Romekate's army continues on with it's push, Georgien K.g. Armee, Gendarmerie, and Landeswehr forces reorganize to oil territories. Fortifications and defensive structures begin to be hastily set up with what time they have, before taking their stance with artillery armed and readied. Anti-cavalry measures are taken, as well, with chevaux de frise being set up along most of them.

(last night tuevon said sunyong would be taken in a few months so)

Forces rapidly sweep north and west, taking advantage of the lack of developed fortifications in the oil fields and the lack of forces on the Lehr.

Those of Sunyong who answered the call to arms for their liberation are organized into new divisions and are equipped with everything a Romekati soldier would carry.

we basically need a third moderator because both moderators are engaged in a battle, on opposing sides no less, and its literally going no where

As the Romekate forces push through the outer lines of the oil fields, since nothing we do seems to work, many plumes of smoke rose in the horizon. The wells and reserves that had been previously heavily and widely exploited now burn away wastefully, set ablaze by retreating forces, with no means of fire prevention still around. Their glow shines rightly in the night as the Romekate force continues on. At this point, the lack of food may start becoming more apparent as well for such a large force, since scorched earth had been in effect since the start of the fight for Sunyong.

As they have now began to reach the center of the Georgien nation, the arming of civilians becomes more apparent, a policy of service by requirement going through. Support from Kyrev to the West is requested. Mass armies of militia and troops are hastily formed as full mobilization is pushed into effect, moving east to the front lines as foreign troops have began their offensive onto the homeland. Artillery batteries are made use of, still, to batter the oncoming army from cover. With less of a wide line to be taking care of, forces begin to grow more dense between eachother, giving a chance to form a stronger defense line. The armies that had previously defended the now-destroyed oil fields fall back to the southern area of the nation, taking up garrison in cities. Along the way, rail lines are destroyed, as well as other means of infrastructure until they reach the city.  The most experienced strategists and defensive commanders are given the responsibility of it.

Again, a message to the further Western countries is given, warning that New Romekate probably won't stop at Grúzia, and will continue to march through the smaller nations around them one by one should said nations respect their own independence.

Seris increases focus on basic research in the physical and life sciences.



on another note i'll moderate the land theatre if you guys want since i'm only selling weapons. As for the naval theatre Seris has mostly just pulled back and won't do anything to shipping.

New Romekate is unphazed by the oil fires; most of the oil deep underground has yet to be drilled open. That being said, oil is oil. Forces take the defensive with the oil fields and the Lehr secured, no longer straining the supply line. Gruzia-Nec is further denounced for their disregard of Sunyong in these scorched earth tactics.

Burning wells are blown with explosives to shock the oxygen and fuel apart, and the wells are then rapidly capped using wagons and wagons of sand. (this is actually how it's dealt with btw, blow apart the fire using a shockwave and plug the well)
While the sand briefly stabilizes the well, a metal plug is placed using abandoned Georgien equipment.

Indeed, though, the northern offense does not continue into culturally Georgien cities as they are preocuppied with defending the firefighters and strengthening supply lines.

Southern forces continue fighting to secure the Georgien Lehr, however.

In the civilian sector, disaster relief is sent out to West Sunyong. For now it is limited due to focus on the troops, but what can be done is done.

well stuff

Kórnel II requests to discuss peace negotiations with New Romekate, as he's been newly put in power.
