Yes, as the title says.

Edited by Romulus

I would like to be in the area from between the Levanos Mountains and the Free Land of Amerys, please. (Note: I go crazy on these RP things, so ignore what is not needed. XD)

Name: The Confederacy of Varsgarten
Capital: Norfall
Style: Trade Nation
Focus: Increasing trade, minimizing alliances to avoid being sucked into wars. Military is drilled in fighting a defensive war, so while it is able to hold out against a sustained onslaught, the army is weakest while on the offensive.

Military: Four-years conscription for all males aged between eighteen to thirty-five with retraining every six months afterwards until they are fifty. Keeps at least a few regiments at full strength at any given time, especially on the coast and the Levanos Mountain border. The mountain range is also used as a natural fort, with several defensive lines place on, and some even in the mountains themselves.

Economy: Keeps trade tariffs as low as possible to attract people to it's harbors on the eastern and southern shores. Weapons, armors, minerals mined from the mountains and fish are it's main exports. Thanks to the geography of the land, main imports are usually food products which require large expanses of land for farms.

Politics: Varsgarten is an oddity, consisting of four separate states bound together by a treaty. Each state has it's own duke as a ruler. The dukes answer to a king elected by the nobles of each state. For matters such as wars and alliances, a majority or unanimous vote is required. This odd method of government was formed after the disastrous rule of the last Grand Emperor of Varsgarten which led the nation to civil war and close to complete destruction.

I might edit this later if I get any other ideas on expanding some parts.

Name: The Steel Legion (maybe something else)
Capital: Castle Eireius (In Port Ardus)
Style: Highly Centralized Mercenary Legion
Rule: Ruled by the family Eireius
Focus: Gaining more land and becoming a real nation. Otherwise gold.

Military: Those who wants to join need to train for 4 years as a recruit. The legion is big internationally and have no problem with recruits except when it goes bad (It rarely does). As a centralized merc company all soldiers have matching armor and weapons. Is organized into legions with about 1000 men each there is 15 legions(to much?).

Economy: Gains money from protection, employers and taxes (the latter only from legion territory).

Diplomacy: Eireius rules with an iron fist and wants to be recognized as a real nation. The legion often acts as a bully and turns on those who can't pay or if the spoils of war is to low.


Infantry
Steel Bulwark (Heavy Defense)
-Steel clad units with tower shields and long swords.
-Excellent for defending ranged infantry or holding position.
-About 200 in a legion.

-Steel clad cavalry with armored horses has a spear and a long sword (Often dual wielded after charge).
-I used defensively to counter other cavalry or counter charging flanks.
-About 100 in a legion.

Elite Units
Black Robes (Elite Regiment)
-Elite units with free equipment choice but they must wear a black robe.
-Often used as bodyguards or when a decisive battle is at hand.
-Can be from 50 to 0 in a legion they are about 200 total.

Coming up with more than the army might be useless but I like when factions have character. Btw will there be other rp than fighting?

Just to clarify I own the region from the Ruins of Racyth and northward that whole area surrounded on three sides by mountains.

Skyicewolf hasnt been on for awhile...

yea, we can dream cant we?

So is this thing going down?

my borders are from Mount Herals to lake Prim, Current army: 20 Brigades of Phalix, 2o brigades of javelin throwers,5 Brigades of spartans.

• Duchy of Esrom
• Infantry:
• Peasant Conscripts-Armed with an assortment of spear-like weapons, little to no armour.
• Men-At-Arms-Armed with longswords and heater shields, armoured in plate armour.
• Halberdiers-Armed with halberds, armoured in chainmail with steel helmets.

• Ranged Infantry:
• Longbowmen-Armed with longbows and steel daggers, armoured in light leather armour.

I'd like the eastern half of the land which says "Kingdom of Iseroth", bordering the forest and the mountain range.

Goal:to conquer all lands east

It would not be to hard to organize another one.
