Deep Mine (+1 Coin)
1 City, 1 Port City
ENEMIES ALL AROUND US (Dwarves have become extremely xenophobic and no longer trust outsiders. +3 ATTACK, +3 DEFENSE, UNABLE TO FORM ALLIANCES OR TRADE ROUTES)

Country Name: Mirir Barakzad, The kingdom beneath The Mountain

Leader of Country: Thrazir Aerenion

Capital: Mirir Barakzad

List of Races within Country: Dwarves.

Temperament: Warlike

Policy: Mandatory military service

Location: Mountains

Strengths: The whole kingdom is build underneath inside a Mountain. Sieging a mountain is pretty hard. We have plenty of ores like metal, and of course gems.

Weaknesses: Gaining food is harder then normal.

History:It all started when the great Division happened. All the Dwarven clans where divided in the ones with magic abilities and the ones without. This caused a great civil war which the magical clans eventually won. They began the construction of the great city Mirir Barakzad. Before that the Dwarves were nomadic. And with that the neverending war the Orcs began. The great Division was caused by the then uncreated city of Mirir Barakzad. This mountain was the perfect place for the dwarves to settle. The Dwarves had searched for this mountain for generations. And what now needed to be decided was which great clan would start the construction of the mountain.

Military: Mirir Barakzad has a enormous military, this is needed because of the war with the orcs. Almost every men is enlisted as reserve and every man is willing to fight. Because the orcs are savages that had defiled this Mountain for centuries.

Tier I:
Dwarves reserves: These forces are the normal citizens of Mirir Barakzad. Nevertheless they are very experienced. Atleast not what you expect from a fresh trained conscript, at a young age they already were brought to the front for 1 month. To fight the orcs, and experience the savages with their own eyes.

Dwarven crossbows: These are troops meant for supporting the main army. They have no armor.

Tier II:
The Dwarven axemen: These are troops that fight non-stop against the orcs. They are very well trained, and know how to form complicated formations. Their equipment is far superior against the dwarven reserves.

Dwarven Goat riders: These men ride goats, that were bred for one purpose WAR. These goats are heavily armored as are their riders, these men are equiped with Halbers. Which were adjusted for using it on goatback.

Dwarven pikes/Halbers: These men are perfect for holding certain choke points. And almost nobody gets through these heavily armored soldiers.

Tier III:
Royal thunder guards: These men use their enchantedwarhammers to cast lightning bolts at the enemy. Which causes enormous damage. These troops are only deployed if the King goes to war personally. These men are selected from the Magic using clans among the dwarves. They are the elite of the elite.

Royal swordsmen: But even without magic , you can make it to the highest ranks of the dwarven army. The ones who mastered the sword, are being enlisted in the Royal swordsmen. These men however are continuous on the front lines. They despise the Royal thunder guards for the fact that they are never fighting at the front lines.

Country Name: The Kingdom of Attolia

Leader of Country: The Attolis, Heike Wolff

Capital: Attolia

Flag:

List of Races within Country: Humans and half humans with minor populations of others due to migration, trade, etc

Temperament: Cordial

Policy: Strategic Alliances/Marriage

Location: Seaside, I was hoping to get that small peninsula to the east near that rather large island.

Strengths: Considering the hybrid nature of many citizens, the Attolians are a cultural melting pot of sorts and are able to quickly assimilate other cultures and are accepting of others.

Weaknesses: Due to the myriad of cultures and races, many minorities and their leaders within the nation have some autonomy and certain rights to self-rule as long as they remain loyal to the crown, pay their taxes and answer any calls to war.

Military:

Conscripts:

Light Infantry: Most conscripts would fall in this catagory where they were conscripted, but too poor to afford their own equipment. Thus they are given spears and bows and serve as light infantry.

Light Cavalry: The citizens who have ties to the old tribes still have some of the nomadic influence among them. Thus, they often own a horse or a few, which they bring to the war and fight in the traditional style of nomadic mounted combat (light armor, spears, bows)

Engineers: The skilled and educated are not expected to fight in the front lines, rather they take on support roles. The army needs to cross a river? Let the engineers handle it.

Standard:

Spearmen: These men are trained and drilled in formations with shields, spears, and some armor (light-medium armor). Typically found as garrison forces or in phalanx formations on the field.

Elite:

Royal Lancers: These men are heavily trained and disciplined soldiers who fight on horseback. With lances, swords, and medium armor, their job is to decisively strike and break the enemy.

History if Applicable: The Kingdom was founded by numerous human tribes of similar clans. They were distantly related due to intermarrying through the years. Foregoing their nomadic traditions, they settled on fertile lands as the combined peoples were too large to sustain with a nomadic lifestyle. Initially, the leadership of this newly formed nation was elected among the chieftains of the old tribes. However, marriage through the years led to these families becoming related to each other, which led to the establishment of House Wolff, a royal house that was a part of all the old tribes. Since then, House Wolff was trusted to be an impartial ruler for all in Attolia and led to the vanishing of old tribal loyalties and boundaries.

Spoiler: Strenghts
- The strength that this race is known for is it's Pure Loyalty and it can be seen through soldiers and citizen alike , citizens won't cheat or lie to you and soldiers wouldn't abandon an ally on the battlefield
- Immune to corruption ( yes , that means blackmailing , intimidation and bribery as well) , crime , mind control and betrayal
- Immune to venom or poison of any kind which leads to all Insecmorphs , regardless of role in the hive , to have sufficient medical and herbal logic to heal themselves or others.
-Defensive shells around their bones and organs giving them that extra protection.
- Telepathically connected
Spoiler: Weaknesses
- No Insecmorphs has the capability of magic other then nature magic
- Despite them having a layer of strong armor around bones and organs , they are temporary and blunt weapons can still break the armor underneath
- They can be quite paranoid and especially at night .
Spoiler: History
They weren't always insect like , this kingdom use to be brimming with humans . Problem is that the mages and alchemists joined their collective knowledge. They wanted to make their own soldiers , not wanting to waist normal soldiers on the battlefield , not wanting to waist the time training troops to make up for those lost in the wars. They started mixing human DNA and insect DNA . The result was catastrophic though . Instead of creating insect soldiers , they created a virus , this was a deadly virus to start with . It killed everyone in the palace , before spreading.

The remaining citizen and guard made their way out of the city and fled . Problem is , the food they took with them were already infected but since the villagers and guards took the virus to a different climate , it changed it. After a lengthy journey they all finally settled down again inside a hollowed out mountain . Half of the villagers suddenly fell i'll befre they realized what was wrong. They discarded the food but came to realize that the ill villagers started changing , growing wings and having their eyes turn completely white . The blood of some of the bleeding villagers also started taking on a green glowing texture . A lot of confliction came with the changes . Those that turned were exiled into the deep dark mountain . Years later , the remaining humans could no longer hold out living like they did in the old days and started dying one by one .

They that remained were surprised to later find the same exiled villagers but along with large wasp like guards and dreaded driders from folktale approaching them . They forgave them for what they did and offered them to join them . Without much choice , the villagers joined and followed them. A millennium later , the insecmorph race was complete with they own modern kingdom .

Arrisia
35 Coin, Population 40( Population Cap reached), 5 Conscripts, 1 Wood Golem
2 Basic Housing Unit completed (+2 Population)
Market(+1 coin and ability for land trade)
1 Port City

Country Name: Arrisia

Capital City: Akata

Country Flag: The Banner Consists of a black background with several stars on it in the shape of the Constellation of Erinesse the Goddess of Magic.

Leader of Country: His Excellency James Shiro

List of Races within Country: Multi-Race none are turned away.

Temperament: Guarded

Policies: Mandatory Education for the Magic Sensitive.

Location: Situated within a large valley and extending up into the mountains on either side.

Military: Arrisia has a large enlisted force. The military is divided amongst the enlisted (Non magic users/Tier 1) and the Officers (Mages/Tier 2) Many mages choose to do some time of service while others choose to pursue other career paths, the mandatory service is only two years but can be extended in times of war. Those that excel in some way in the military go on to join His Excellency's Finest(Tier 3). A special force centered around Espionage and R&D.

Strengths: As a result of the mandatory education for Mages, the military is a very powerful and efficient force. In the recent past it has excelled at outsmarting its enemies when it did not have superior strength. Another side effect of the high quality education is exceptionally powerful Mages. However the military is not invulnerable and has been defeated on several occasions.

Weaknesses: Arrisia is highly prone to social disorder. There has been a natural desparity between the mages and non-mages both culturally and economically. Several small groups have arisen across the nation particularly in the mountains on the outskirts of the nation.

History: Several generations ago the valley was divided among several small factions all of which were led by powerful mages. After generations of war one faction finally rose above the others. The small village of Horseshire was the place of one of the largest battles and the entire village was destroyed. This has become a very sensitive subject between the Mages and non-mages as several innocent people were killed during the battle, half of them burned alive, the other half frozen solid. After the battle the different factions agreed to meet and came to a peace agreement. Shortly after the peace was reached it was discovered that a foreign military was on the march towards the valley. The attacking army expected to meet a fractured and weak or nonexistent military force. This revelation however galvanized the groups causing them to fully realize the importance of a strong central power. This also caused them to be severely guarded towards other nations and their leaders.

The Family=The Council
Spoiler: How the Two Powers work
The Family mainly deals with humanitarian issues and diplomacy. The Council has direct control over the policies, laws, and military of The Unity. The Family and The Council can both intervene on each other's decisions, but checks and balances are in place to prevent complete control. The two powers in The Family must be in agreement to carry out a decision, but The Council needs only a majority vote. Though it takes some effort to get The Council to overrule a Family decision, it can be done with a unanimous vote. (i.e. A Council Decision < A Family Decision < A Unanimous Council Decision)

Leaders of Country:
Spoiler: The current High Family
High Matriarch Kasea Rodell
High Patriarch Lowen Rodell
The Council of Ten

List of Races within Country:
Any race is permitted, but The Unity is currently dominated by Humans

Temperament:
Isolationist, Guarded

Policy:
Spoiler: Diplomatic Intolerance
The Unity will refuse contact with any other government body. This will only change under one of two conditions: 1. if The Unity sees no other choice, or 2. if an outside contact is able to convince The Unity it's worth the time.

Location:
Spoiler: Major Location

Spoiler: Territory Closeup

(Forest Included)
Strengths:
Spoiler: Dedication
Warriors within The Unity are used to fighting for their freedom against tyrannical government. Therefore, they will fight in even the most dire of situations.
Spoiler: Unknown Magics
The local forest is dense with strange spiritual magics, which many mages have taken the time to explore. This can make the magical works of The Unity difficult to predict.
Weaknesses:
Spoiler: Stubborn
The Unity government is very stubborn. Not only does this translate poorly in diplomacy, but Unity generals will rarely surrender in combat.
Spoiler: Reluctant Agreement
Due to the system of government within The Unity, both the Council and the Family take quite a bit of time to reach strategic decisions. (+1 to turn-based decisions.)
Military:
Spoiler: Conscripts
The Iron Guard
A collection of soldiers of various skills. There isn't much to them, they're usually just new recruits. Some contain basic magical capabilities, and it's extremely unlikely they'll fight alone.
Spoiler: Basic Units
The Knighthood
A group of trained Knights. Each carries either a single Bastard Sword or a Kite Shield/One-handed sword combination. Every knight is armored for head-to-head combat, making them efficient combatants.

Heavy Guard
Each Heavy Guard is specifically trained for their strength. They act as the Frontliners in most large-scale combat. Heavy Guard often carry heavy weapons, such as battle axes. Front line Heavy Guard will usually carry a Tower Shield instead of a weapon in order to protect the soldiers behind them. Heavy Guard often fight in pairs.

Sharpshooters
Most Sharpshooters are trained with bows, but The Unity has been researching other methods of long-range combat. Sharpshooters tend to take vantage points, such as mountains and forests. They're terrible in direct combat, but make for dangerous adversaries in certain spaces. Sharpshooters are more often used as defensive units rather than offensive troops.

Mystics
Mystics are people of faith that have dedicated their lives to learning magical skills. Most learn healing magic, but some of them are capable of of combat.
Spoiler: Elites
Curators of Death
A very specialized class of engineer mystic designed to build gadgets and tools for war. Most of the time, Curators act as Ballista operators. Curators don't generally build siege weapons, instead focusing on machines designed to win battles. Similarly to Sharpshooters, these elite units tend to take vantage points rather than act in direct combat.

The Iron Heart
These people are trained as generals. Their tactical minds make them dangerous adversaries on the field, especially when they're backed up by Iron Guard. Almost every group of Iron Guard is lead by one Iron Heart, though it's extremely rare for more than one Iron Heart to be in a battlefield at a time.

Prophets of Shame
An extremely rare class of soldier trained in both physical and mystical combat. These soldiers spend copious amounts of time researching ancient combat tactics in Unity scholarly halls. Prophets are people who have been disgraced in some fashion or another, and have dedicated their lives to the utter annihilation of their antagonist. When a Prophet enters a battlefield, military tactics of other soldiers will quickly change to give a Prophet the greatest advantage. Iron Guard and Iron Hearts will sacrifice themselves to save a Prophet if possible, and other classes will attempt to make openings for a Prophet to reach their destination.

Religions:
Spoiler: Spiritualism
Many practitioners of Spiritualism spend their days in the Mystic Forest, hoping to learn from the magical teachings and energy left behind. Many of these practitioners become Mystics in the military. Spiritualism is the main source of magic for the Unity. It is also an extremely valuable resource, since much of the magical elements within the religion are unknown.
Spoiler: Followers of The Disgraced
A scholarly people with a large focus on following the original teachings of Hanon. Some become warriors, but they aren't particularly designed for fighting.

Ecology:
Spoiler: Main Climate
Average climate with rare extremes. Warm summers, snowy winters. Heavy rain.
Spoiler: Areas of Note
Western Ocean: Unexplored
Northern Ocean: Unexplored
Calola Bay: Open water to the east, great for fishing.
Mystic Forest: A strange land of unpredictable weather and odd spacial events. The forest acts as a great first defense, since it's difficult to travel through for non-magical beings. Hunting is banned in this area. Contains a religious ground of prayer. Extremely high magical density.

____________________________
⦿ Temperment:
• Peaceful | The Nation of Itza has no interest in warfare but that is not to be mistaken for weakness. They will readily defend their land with a ferocity that surpasses their appearance.
• Isolationist | The people rarely leave the country's borders for reasons other than trade and only when necessary. Tresspassers entering Nation of Itza territory without prior notification will be killed by patrols on sight, that is unless the wildlife gets to them first.
____________________________
⦿ Policy:
• Ultimately Defensive | Above all else, the homeland of the Nation must come first. The armies of the Nation fight with extra vigour when in their own territory.
____________________________
⦿ Location:
• The Great Jungle of Sage Eye Island

____________________________
⦿ Strengths:
• Kroakun Mages | Each Kroakun is attuned to the Old Gods and the Winds of Magic. This gives them great magical power that surpasses most, if not all other creatures.

• Jungle Bond | The many creatures of the jungle from tiny insects up to the towering carnivores are bound to the Nation of Itza. This allows them to be utilised as front line units or mounts if needed.

• Reptile Physiology | Each of the Itzan sub-races have scales covering their body, head to toe. This provides additional protection to them. In addition they all have regenerative capabilities that allow for the healing of minor wounds in a few days or lost limbs over a few months.

• Natural Weapons | Razor sharp claws and crushing jaws mean that the Itzan are capable fighters even when unarmed.
____________________________
⦿ Weaknesses:
• Kroakun Mages | While the Kroakun Mages power is supreme, they are the only Itzan capable of wielding magic without devides. One in every few Kobold have the capability but their power is vastly inferior.

• Carnivorous | While the Itzan are omnivores, prolonged hunger will lead to them losing much of their faculties. In this state they will eat whatever creature is nearest.

• Highly Territorial | Unannounced visitors to Itzan territory will be killed on sight, regardless of any treaties that may be in place at the time.
____________________________
⦿ Military:
• Conscripts
• Kobold Skirmishers | Armed with light armour and numerous javelins, Kobold Infantry harass enemy formations. Skirmish unit.

List of Races within Country:

Spoiler: Elementals

The Elementals are an embodiment of natural phenomenon that appeared from accumulations of natural energy. The birth of the first Elemental was always down to luck. Years of untouched environment slowly built up a strand of consciousness, creating a Spirit of Nature. When the spirit gained enough comprehension of its own nature, it will turn into an Elemental. The whole process could take tens to hundreds of years to finish.

The subsequent generations of elementals had it easier. An Elemental could dedicate itself to the cultivation of a Nature Spirit and guides the spirit in its comprehension of natural law. With the guidance of an elemental, the spirit can reach the state of an elemental in the span of one to five years.

Elementals are able to take any shape they desire. However, most Elementals eventually settles on a base form they think truly represent their individuality and personage.

Aloiss consisted of Darkness, Cold, Water, and Earth Elementals.

Temperament: Peaceful and Indifferent

Apart from growing their populations and finding new elementals, the nomads had little ambitions.

Policy: Nurture of Nature

The elementals take care of the environment they reside on to encourage the growth of Nature Spirits.

Location: Lower Khanzig

Strengths:

Elemental Body: Though Nature Spirits still require food and water, Elementals can survive solely from the energy gained from their respective elements or natural energy when the elements are lacking.

Elemental Comprehension: Elementals and Nature Spirits have an innate talent for magic. Their natural increase in proficiency is a racial trait unique to them. Apart from that, they also have knowledge bestowed to them by nature.

Weaknesses:

Low Birth Rate: The creation of new elementals is highly dependent on the abundance of nature and the comprehension of Nature Spirits.

Elemental Nature: Every elements have their own opposite that diametrically oppose their nature. Darkness and Light, Cold and Heat, Water and Fire, Earth and Wind.

Military:

Nature Spirits: Nascent forms of Elementals. They are high in numbers and is the foundation for Elementals society. They are able to manifest physically in to serve the elementals.

Elementals: The backbones of Elementals society. Every Elemental is capable of harnessing magic of their own elements to a certain degree of proficiency.

Warrior Elementals: The elite force of Elementals. Elementals trained specifically in the art of war is able to use their potential to the limit and implement their racial traits into their fighting style.

History:


The Nomad of Aloiss came to be when the Cold, Water, and Earth Elementals witnessed the birth of the first Darkness Elemental on the Hermit's Nest. They, finally knowing the secret behind the birth of a new elementals, dreamed of uniting all Elementals in the world and to lead nature into prosperity. Thus, they chose the first born of the Darkness Elemental as their leader. The first Darkness Elemental was the first Elemental to receive knowledge regarding battle. The Elementals left the Hermit's Nest and crossed the Green Sea to Lower Khanzig.

Combat Rules

• The four unit types that exist are: Ranged, Magic, Mobile and Combat.

• Ranged in the early years will constitute archers, catapults etc. In the future it will be more related to artillery emplacements.

• Magic is anything that utilises magic. Whether the unit magically imbues their weapon with fire or fires bolts of lightning from distance, they sit here.

• Mobile starts off as cavalry although may end up as motorbikes, APC's or air support.

• Combat is where you have your sword wielding soldiers in the early years. By the end this will be soldiers with guns.

Attack and Resistance Types

• Martial: Whether melee or ranged damage, there is no special element here. Anything listed as a bonus to just attack or defense is listed here. It just represents a units martial prowess or technical skill.

• Heavy: Golems, Vehicles or large creatures have a chance die to not get destroyed during an attack due their mass.

• Fire: This could be a fire breathing salamander or a soldier in fire resistant armor. If a unit has a bonus to fire attack and the defender has no resistance to it, they may attack twice.

• Poison: A swarm of poisonous snakes or a snake charmer who has built up a resistance to their poison. If a unit has a bonus to poison attack and the defender has no resistance to it, they may re-roll failed attack rolls.

• Magic: This might be an old mage with years of practise or a being who transcends magic. Like attack/defence this just represents their magical capability.

• When utilising one of these types when attacking, only one may be utilising, not multiple. As such, whichever gives the attacker the best modifier is used. So if a unit is +2 Fire Attack and +2 Martial Attack, and the defender is +1 Fire Resistance but 0 Martial Defence, the attacker will use their dice modifier from martial attack.

Combat

• When a unit attacks another unit, roll a D10. On a 6+ the unit successfully attacks the other unit and kills them.

• A roll of 1 is always a fail while a roll of 10 is always a success.

• A natural roll of 10 allows the unit to attack again (this can only occur once per unit, per turn).

Roll Modfiers

• If you are attacking a unit of a higher tier then subtract your units tier from the defenders tier from the roll. For example, if a tier 1 unit attacks a tier 3 unit, then the attacker would subtract 2 from their dice roll. This would mean that only an 8 or higher would result in a successful attack.

• If you are attacking a unit of a lower tier then subtract the defenders tier from your units tier and add that to the roll. For example, if a tier 3 unit attacks a tier 1 unit, then the attacker would add 2 to their dice roll. This would mean that a 4 or higher would result in a successful attack.

• If a unit has a resistance this number will be subtracted from the attackers roll but only if the resistance matches the attack type. So for example, if the a defender has +1 magic resistance and the attacker uses magical attacks, then the attacker will subtract a further 1 from it's dice roll.

• If a unit has a bonus to damage then this number will be added to the attackers roll. So for example an attacker may have +1 ranged damage and and as such will add 1 to it's attack roll.

Multiple Units

• All units get to attack in combat and only once a turn (unless these rules state otherwise).

• The order in which attacks are carried out is listed below:

• Attacker will always go first but then after that the turns are alternated by player.

• Ranged units attack first, following by magic and then combat units. That said, if a player still has ranged units and the other player doesn't, the alternating player turn process continues.

• When multiple units exist in a combat grouping (ranged etc), it always goes highest tier to lowest tier units when attacking.

• When working out what defender to roll against, the strongest defending unit is always calculated against. So if you are attacking 10 tier 1 units with 1 tier 3 unit, you will attack the tier 3 unit until it dies.
