Spoilerwe believe it is about time for us to make a return to the world stage. as our 1st move we have been considering a massive operation against the pirate fleets infesting the western sea. after that we will worry about continental affairs. we were thinking of contributing 15 navy and 5 army to the operation. our agents have already uncovered the location of several of their little hideaways.

We approve of the idea, and are willing to participate in this operation. We are willing to contribute 10 Navy to this operation. Our crews are however trained primarily in fighting defending the isles, so they will be worth about 9 Navy. Unfortunately we have little in the way of an army, so we won't have too many direct contributions in that field. That being said the rewards of this operation will free up our navy and increase trade, hopefully boosting our economy so We might be able to come up with something to do about that.
We are willing to contribute 3 economy (temp) to hire mercenaries to assist in the operation.
I look forward to the continued co-operation of our nations.

Spoilerwe believe we have enough marines to make it without mercs. they are just pirates after all. [25] navy should be enough to wipe out most pirate fleets in the western sea. after that we will just send out small specialized fleets of pirate hunters for the clean up of any stragglers

All right, no mercenaries it is. Our fleet will rendezvous with yours shortly. Hopefully this operation goes well.

We have recently heard of the massive war that is going on on the nearby mainland. As it is so near us we would like to gather information about the war. Given your reputation for having information we would like to open negotiations for more detailed information on what is going on, and more specifically if any plans involve us.

The Corrupted [Morale: +++++ +]
To Anti-Harmonium Coalition
SpoilerI think, to minimize future losses while still being able to deal maximal damage, it would be best to link up with your forces and take the undefended land. IF that goes well, we may even be able to take a few of their coastal cities. Would that be acceptable to all involved?
To the Queendom of Faluna
SpoilerHuh. Do you have any information on the naval strength of the convoy incoming? If we could sink those ships before they landed, the regular soldiers would be almost useless... Perhaps through magic combined with naval strength?
To the Risen Empire
SpoilerWould we be able to pay you to use some of your magical power for one turn?
To the Jack Coalition
SpoilerNaval power, would in fact, be likely better. A large convoy from the Harmonium Empire's other continent is coming, and if we were able to crush it before it arrived we would likely reduce their military strength a sizable amount. We would also be able to, if reports are correct, kill their emperor himself. We shouldn't need too much military strength, even + or +- would be fine.

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
The Corrupted [Morale: +++++ +]
To the Risen Empire
SpoilerWell, as you can likely guess, the target would be the Harmonium Empire. We are currently deliberating on how much magic we would be able to afford, but it would be helpful if you could give us a rough estimate on the ratio of temp eco:temp magic.
To the Queendom
SpoilerHmm...their strength is making a magical operation more and more favored. We would be able to use +++ magic to weaken them, but that might not be enough. We contacted the Risen Empire to see if we could use their magic to help, but they demanded some monetary compensation. Do you think you could help with that? We might be able to buy a bit, but likely not enough to make a big enough difference.

If that is the division that you wish to use. Alternative arrangements would also be acceptable.
You could, for example, request the use of all the magic which we are making available and in exchange pay ++- each turn afterwards for ten turns, or you could request ++++ and pay +++++ this turn and the next. It is the choice of you and your allies which distribution method is to used.
Once that is agreed upon, the only remaining issue is the use of the magic on the target of your choice.

SpoilerWe would like to buy ++ magic then. +++++ temp econ will be in your accounts at the EoT.
To the Queendom
SpoilerIf you would transfer that econ to the Risen empire, it would be much appreciated. They are, in exchange for it, lending some of their magical might to our aid.
Also, do you think you could lend your own mages to this operation? We know you do not have many, but they may be extremely useful in this naval battle.
To the Isle of Dhevan
SpoilerWe wonder if you would be able to lend any more naval support to our operations. The Harmoniums are sending a large fleet to reinforce themselves, and with your aid we could crush it. We understand if you are tied up in other matters, but even a small fleet could be pivotal.
To the Nagarean Theocracy
SpoilerGreetings. We know you are no friend of the Harmonium Empire, and we would therefore beseech you for aid. The Empire is sending a large fleet to reinforce their position, and we do not currently have the naval fleet to take them on ourselves. If you could lend a portion of your navy, we may be able to destroy them while at sea and prevent them from landing any more troops. If you are reluctant to lend direct support in ships, mages would also be useful in the battle.

SpoilerBefore we agree to anything, we need to know your reasons for wanting the information. In this conflict, the Collective prefers the side of the coalition over that of the Harmonium, and due to your ties with the Empire, we are wary of providing any information that may possibly be used against us. If it's solely out of a desire of self preservation, then we can talk, but if you plan on trying to prevent them from losing their holdings on this continent... We will have a problem.

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
beginning of turn 4
fall brought even more war and bloodshed that year
fall of a empire: in the months leading up to winter the daring coalition assisted by the nagarean theocracy succesfully conquered over 75 percent of harmonias remaining holdings here on the continent. while out at sea an even bigger battle raged as the combined fleets met a massive armada of ships coming from other harmonioum holdings elsewhere. it is even rumoured that the emperor was killed in the fighting. empire loses [+++++ +++++ +++++ ++]navy and [+++++ +] army. corrupted loses [+]army and [++] navy. jacks collective loses [-] army. giants lose [++] army. nagarean theocracy loses [+++++] army and navy
anti pirate coalition: in the western ocean an alliance between the veneitan and dhevaian isles took the fight to the brigands who roamed the sea plundering at will. together this fleet struck a massive blow to the foul pirates and succeded in improving the safety of all maritime trade routs.venetian isles lose [++] navy. isle of dhevan loses [+++++] navy
rail lines: the trolls have finally finished the trans-continental rail line hubs in several major nations. now all that remains is to get the steam engines rolling!!
voices in the night: the zexxan consortium has hired a mercenary expedition to see what is going on in their mines... unfortuanatly they never returned. it is clear something sinister is at work down there
gnomes out of stock?: apparently over the past season, someone has bought just about all the technologies they had for sale. the gnomes have promised that they will work to keep up with demand
disaster!!!: in the last week of winter disaster struck. for unknown reasons the sky city of bhujibarba has crashed too the earth, its magical flight ceased to exist causing destruction for miles. thousands are dead. those few known survivors of the disaster are not expected to survive long

To the people of Bhujibarba
SpoilerWe would offer the lands of the corrupted as a temporary home to you displaced citizens. Many nations respect us ((We have pretty high WO)) and our fortified borders offer you all the safety you need to slowly rebuild. We understand that not all of you may want to come to us, but know that any who do will be accepted completely.
To the Venetian Isles and the Isle of Dhevan
SpoilerWe thank you for your work in eradicating the pirates, and we hope it ushers in a new era of peaceful voyages in the continent.
To the Deep Trolls
SpoilerWe hope you received the ++- temp econ we contributed to the rail line, and ask if you need any more to get things running. We are eager to join in the trade it will bring.
To the Coalition
SpoilerSuccess follows success. We've now crushed them both on land, and on sea. We, together, have taken what was the strongest power on this continent and emerged victorious. We have shown the world that, banding together, we can defeat even those who would seem invincible. Oh, what we have done working together.
Now, as the war draws nearer and nearer to the seemingly inevitable end, we must decide how we will go forward. Pushing towards their home continent, likely very well defended, seems an unwise decision. However, that does not mean this alliance need be in vain. I propose that we all sign a defensive alliance: promising aid if any one of us is attacked by a foreign aggressor. If their is conflict among us, we can sort it out in civilized debate; and not quickly progress into war. This alliance would also prevent any opportunistic countries from striking while we are weakened by war, as our combined strength could fend them off.Last edited by ragingrage; 2012-05-03 at 12:45 AM.

As we can all see, something dark is stiring beneath the zexxan consortium. We have many records of old abominations that were sealed away, and feel that this is a sign that one is rising. As the wintwer falls, we'll send a team in. We do not expect to be able to kill whatever is down there, only, and only if all goes well, contain it.

For the moment we are only looking for information for self defense. With the Harmonium losing badly I wish to prevent members of the coalition from using their now experienced military forces against me. As We negotiated a trade treaty with the Harmonium it is possible that we will be perceived as a potential ally for the losing Harmonium. We wish to know of any such attempts before-hand, so that we may be prepared. Although we reserve the right to do whatever is best for our nation we are not asking for information that would be easy to use in an offensive war, so their should be no conflict. We will be willing to provide [+] econ/turn in exchange for any information of this nature. Timely reports would be appreciated should anything come up.

The Pirate raid has been a great success, and the gratitude that most nations have towards us should work greatly in our favor. You said that you were interested in turning an eye to continental affairs. What exactly did you have in mind?
