By that, do you mean, 200 IC, or pl? If you mean Pl, I'm going to
need a bit higher. IC would be fine. I would be willing to accept
your IC after they make their pp this turn, but before the attack
itself.

I need the higher cost for two reasons:

1) I recognize that you will be able to quickly take over Ginbal, and
I need to build myself to a military level close to yours. Thus, we
both need to benifit from this move. I would get the IC, you would
get the strategic position of being able to take Ginsel quickly. There
is nothing I can see which would keep you from then turning your
forces on me.

2) By doing this, I would not be able to undertake any military
objective myself.

Let me know. You stand to gain 200 IC by this move, at little risk
to yourself. I need a compareable gain so that I would not be
eventually overrun by you. I also need assurence that you will pay =)
hense the asking for payment before the strike.

Oh, and the slaves would need to be human , and alive. We would free
them and introduce them to our society.If they were not human, we would prefer 350 pls before the start of the turn.

How many regular armys could by ships convoy, anyway?

Also, Melkor has promised me 200 IC of Human slaves which I would free and give a home to in Ginsel. Could I use a modified version of a gate spell to give them access to Ginsel? ( allowing I realize this would take a while. I would also cast multiple gates at once.) How long would this take?

KALANYR:
Spoiler:
[sblock] The Malkuvah Baklunim, the restored Baklunish Empire, gladly welcomes the Miranda Alliance into the Treaty of Ekbir. We humbly request to sign the Treaty of the Miranda Alliance, and discuss matters of mutual concern. (I had a long day as well.)

William:
[sblock]Shortly after this anoncement is made a message is received from the Nyrondise Ministry of Defense:

We find it highly improper that you have, by fiat, included Miranda in the Treaty of Ekbir without first consulting with it's other members. Greater Nyrond had previously refused a military alliance with Miranda, and this action is considered by the MOD to be interference by the Malkuvah in the affairs of Greater Nyrond.

Between those locations? If you use your entire spelljamming fleet it would take one month.

[sblock]People are not considered IC... but I suppose he could give you a number of slaves needed to generate 200 ICs at your current tech-level. That would, in the long term, be of enormous benefit to you and great harm to him. (As your tech-level increases so does the indirect value of those individuals. Population is the most important, and hardest to replace, resource of the IR.)
It would be: 200x100'000/6=3,333,333 people, and Melkor doesn't have that kind of Human population.
--
It would be much more realistic if he payed you a sum of rPLs (since that represents money), or gave you a share of premanent influence on the planet he intends to conquer.[/sblock]

Edena, you forgot Step 12: Drow all get gout and high cholesterol from constant diet of meat.

So, it would take one month to convoy 300 pl of regular armys to the undead gas planet? or 200 IC worth of population to my world? And, you don't have to let me know this, but please let Melkor know... what is the general breakdown of his population?

And, Melkor is getting 200 IC from the liches planetoids, so I'm not sure it's that bad a deal for him, either =)

300 PLs.

The breakdown of his population is in the mega-post. Plenty of undead, sahuagin and gublinoids, not too many humans.

Moving 3,333,333 people from Oerth to you main planet would take the rest of Turn 1 if you use a combination of Spelljammers and Teleportation-circles.[/sblock]

Weird, I thoght it was the second line in the Mega-Post... Anyway, it's ecaf99@hotmail.com


I want all templates before tuesday, since I'm hoping to start the game that day. If, by that time, there remain three or more confirmed players who have not sent me their templates I will postpone the game for a couple of days. If by thursday there are still peole who have not sent me their templates I will write their templates myself (making them fairly balanced and cautions) and then begin the game. Absent players will have their factions NPCd, and I'll play those NPCs more cautiously than I usually treat NPC-factions.
Thursday is the final deadline.

I have the templates of a majority of the players, but I still need quite a few.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

np, Serpenteye. I have 50 Elite Armies. 20 of them will concentrate on food production.
The drow will eat well.
Because if there's something worse than mad dogs, it's hungry mad dogs. I don't want B-movie maniacs on my hands.

LOL, Paxus! Call it the Drow Neanderthal Diet: All Rothe beef and Rothe milk. (I still say it's better than fungus farms.)

TO DEVILISH

I take it there is no answer from your power to the TEC Pact offer?
I mean ... Eclavdra is not going to force her way into the Tomb of Horrors and confront Acererak to demand an answer! (It's real bad diplomacy when an angry demilich drains your soul and eats it.)
But the drow are hoping Acererak and the Solistarim do join, obviously.
If Acererak joins, that TEC Summit is going to be very interesting with him sitting at (or floating above) the table.

 

[Bugbear]

The TEC pact is one of the reasions Rhynnon has gone to the Solastrium. Just waiting for my audience with the High Lords is all. Very Busy people those High Lords.
