If Verlox wants my help, you can add me to the Anvil side. Seems a little lonely over there.

Hm, what? Oh, yes, Blademaster is my adjunct, the sword in my hand.

:D

And how, dudes, can you not like Morrowind? That's, like, heresy or something. Of course, granted, Arena just [censored] all over the other TES games, flicks them off, kicks out them door, then goes to sit on the couch with a beer.

Arena is badass.

Ok so the two factions will be the Redguards and the Anvil forces. We have a sure leader for the Anvil forces, Verlox, although I think he should use a helper.

And now who can be the main leader of the Redguards, or at least someone to hang around as main guy until Storyteller is back for sure?

I'll be leading the Redguards until Story can return in full capacity, but I will (hopefully) be operating heavily with Story's input so that when he comes back there are no delays and he knows exactly where we stand. I'll put together a character sheet later, should I use the same force list as Story did origionally?

I'll use Ruhk and my other Raga guys again.

I'll also play Arethan, going along with Swims and Alaudis. Now, let's get this party started. :gun:

Yeah same forces and everything minus the Nords/Altmer. If you want to side with Anvil/Redguards and were formerly commanding the Nords/Altmer, let me know and I can add a handful of troops for you if you are still adamant about having something. Or you can just merge with Anvil/Redguards and contribute your command over those troops.

I'll make a post tomorrow officially reseting all of this in the RP thread.

Verlox, I have in mind of starting this RP with two armies in range of battle right off the bat. But I also want to add that i don't want this to be "the mother of all battles" nor do i want everyone in the battle because it will get confusing as hell. More about that tomorrow. Just let me know what you two (Verlox and Solidor) want to do and how to start this off respective to each other. i want to avoid the whole "getting there" part as much as possible.

Can I make a little suggestions. You don't have to take it, since I know it will sound a little...weird.

Ok, now we all know we want some battles. That's why we're here. And using your statement that we'll have armies close to each other, why don't we start the RP off with a battle, using a different army sheet, just so we can get our feet wet. Then, after that battle, we can settle into more skirmishes, and messing with each other until one of us decides to force another big battle, or a siege, or whatever.

Like I said, I know it sounds really weird, and possibly makes no sense. It would kinda be like starting the RP in medias res, only we just go forward from there.

Edit: Oh, and can we edit our military sheets? I want some input from Blademaster in reformatting it.

What kind of input did you need? Or did you want to PM me about.

I'm just gonna say go ahead and forget about the Nords IB. I had a few plans for them in the overall Timeline but I can see this RP is very streamlined towards getting this war over and done with so perhaps it can wait for another time. Or not, but either way I'm all Anvillian now.

I think this is what it will be. I'm also just going to do away with Nords and Altmer as it distracts from the main story.


:unsure: Whoops... I have some choice excuses to use, but I won't bother boring everyone with them. Point is that I essentially dropped off the forum, and probably played some part in this restart business, and for that I cannot apologize enough. I am a hypocritical idiot, and have come back to beg forgiveness for it. However, I can certainly be back to posting fairly regularly now, so if we do restart things, I would be more than happy to join again. If, that is, you would have me :sad:

However, I would like to say that this Circlet RP looks very interesting, and I for one would be behind a renewal. It has been too long since we've had a good Morrowind RP :D Of course, that's just me, I'll go along with whatever you all end up doing.

Once again, I apologize, and await with baited breath your decision on the RP. Thank you. :goodjob:

@ Verlox, That's a good idea. Let's start off the RP with two separate army sheets as you said.

*All the sheets except for the Redguard, Anvil, and Legio Falco will be removed. If someone wants to check if that still maintains a balance go ahead. If you want to edit your sheet let me know what you want to do.

Anyway initially I think this idea is good. Each side will use two different armies than the ones in the sheet. I'm thinking for this first battle that each side would have about five thousand. For the Redguard side this would be an advance force and for the Anvil side it would be a quickly mustered defense force. Both would be of decent quality and 3 people commanding each side. For example Solidor would take the center (3000), i'd take a flank and wooly the other (1000 each).

I dont care what forces i end up with, I could direct an army of stray dogs into battle if I had to. I'll use whatever story is happy with as i fully intend to hand over or share leadership of the Ragadans to him when he returns. once I see the force story is happy with I'll then decide on a command structure every one is happy with, but that is as far as planning goes on my part -- anything else will be dont strictly in the RP from my end. I have time to commit to this but that time isnt unlimited, I would much rather use the time to read posts relevant to me and react accordingly, rather than sit talking about plans and what can be done all night long then finding that i do not have time to post at the end of it.

Alright. Story wants to put some arbalesters in that have been trained in Anticlere. He said we could remake it, and for us to be more creative, as he thought many of the units were similar to Medieval 2 in his opinion. He wants us to put some of the TES aspect in there as well, while at the same time not being a total slave to history.

I'll draw something up, Solidor, and send it to you. You can do whatever you want with it from there.

Alright then Solidor if you want I can make up the 5,000 man character sheet for the first battle we'll be doing. Wooly you have 1,000 men and i'll have 1,000. If you want you can make your 1,000 however you want. Think Vanguard force.

I'll be creative in how I write and use the army, I'd rather be that than a strange army of exotics that are no use to me tactically. Its like using an antique gun to kill someo ne when it would be alot more effective to cut their throat with a steak knife. Im not opposed to these exotic units in the sides of the forces being used by yourself or immortal, just not my portion. No Ansei.

Go for it. I'd be happy with 500 men strong.

Just, ah, waiting for BM to get back to me. We're gonna change the flavor of Anvil to be more...TESy.

EDIT: But I think I can do the mini-sheet on my own. BRB.

Yea just do your 5,000 now for the first battle we'll have. I hope you still maintain the Iberian medieval flavor of it though even if you do make it more TES-esque.

Ruhk's got his one ansei advisor (Amaru). I'll be discussing the sheet with Story. Once we're done, I'll send it to you.

We won't have anymore second level ansei, however, we may have some swordsingers (really good swordsman. They don't have a mind sword.) After that, I'll discuss with Story about possible gunpowder stuff (cannons, arquebuses, etc.) and those animals from the desert to see if he wants any of those in, as the animals would be hard to transport. I'm not so sure on the gunpowder guns myself on how useful they would be to the army. We'll probably have cannons in the main force by default. Story might want some Shaguns or something like that. I don't know yet. As far as elephants and lutemonsters, they would be a tiny bit uber, and one hell of something to transport and feed. We'll see what Story says.

I won't be able to write it up until Tuesday. I've got a bit of work to do beforehand.

Other that that, most of the stuff should be pretty normal. You'll have some stuff to work with, Solidor. Remember, this is just the main force. IB, you do the other Vanguard stuff for you and Solidor if he wants. I'll do my 1000 guys myself.

Im not interested in having Ansei or sword singers, they are far more uber than large lumbering beasts. I'll be using an Ansei/sword singer myself but I wont be entering combat if i can avoid it, they work well in leadership roles but in terms of fairness I dont think they have any place in an infantry role, conidering how rare the discipline is.

Ansei and Sword Singers aren't the same thing.

Ansei use the mind swords. Sword singers are just really good swordsmen.

Personally, I don't think elephants should even be considered for this. Its a TES RP ultimately, not a boring earth one and if we wanted it so, we would RP somewhere else for one like that. Senche's and Lutemonsters are the closest thing to "elephants" there should be IMO. Unless there is actually elephants in Tamriel but I don't think so? If there is, prove me wrong but until then I think we shoould start focusing on the fact that this RP takes place in a fantasy world, regardless of how much realism we like to add to it. (I only mentioned the elephants because I saw Wooly mention them before hand)

And sorry Verlox about not getting back sooner, I was attempting to beat Halo 1 on Legendary. Needless to say, I just rage quit.
