Sunset on the Mediterranean

[Fishman Lord]

It is a golden age on the Mediterranean. Trade and ideas are being exchanged like never before. Small nations and city-states prosper. How long will this peace last? How long before ambition turns to war?

 

[Fishman Lord]

The Korfasillian people prepared the ships and supplies. They were soon headed off to modern-day Gibraltar to establish a colony. To defend this colony from barbarian tribes and other colonial nations, an army of 1,000 short-swordsmen was raised in Korfassillion. They were sent as well.


Effects


Colony of 2,000 people gained on Gibraltar


1,000 light short-swordsmen gained and stationed in colony

 

[Hunnyhelp]

Diplomacy

Due to the close proximity of Gibraltar, the Great Admiral takes his fleet of 13 and docks in Aciland taking 7 and key diplomats behind the Caminum negotiations.

Outcome:

Korfasillian Gibraltar reveives 20 ships and key diplomats. Demanding they leave because they are too close to


Aciland
​

 

[Fishman Lord]

The Korfasillian colonists apologize and relocate to modern Istanbul, on the Sea of Marmara. They also relocate the natives to Korfasillion to grow the population.


Effects


Colony lost on Gibraltar


Colony of 2,000 gained on Istanbul/Constantinople


5,000 population gained in Korfasillion


 
Hey @Maven, we started.

trade abilities of them

Effects:

Rebel naval forces drastically reduced and crippling of rebel trade.​

Emperor Christiano looks out his palace window. He can see far in the distance the bay. In the bay are ships sailing around; some bearing the Sicilian flag and other bearing flags of assorted nations and city-states. Between him and the bay is a wide expanse of houses and people. His people. Today is the day. Sicilian ships shall sail out of this bay looking for a new land to settle. Whether they return or not is unknown, but Christiano will watch them leave and await their return.


The Sicilian Colony Fleet along with some military escorts sail off into the unknown.


*8 Colony and 4 military ships set sail*

 

[Hunnyhelp]

Naval Movement

Because of the public reporting a number of ships near the borders of Caminum, the Great Admiral takes his navy and heads out to destroy this convoy believing that the Korfasillia are trying to get on their shores once again, this time with a larger military presence.

Effects:

During the middle of a storm the convoy sight a larger collection of 19 ships, not bothering to dock for negotiations and directly attacking them!

Modifiers:

+Slightly outnumbered

-Slightly undermanned

+Enemy is largely unarmed

+Surprise attack

+Skilled Command

+Storm​

The Leader of The Domain of Acenii, King Bendica Legata, stands on the Balcony of his large Home, looking out at the Ocean. Many of his Merchant ships twirl around out there, coming back or going out, and his own ships as well Patrol the bay. He is thinking it's time to get involved with the others in Italy, specifically Korfasillion and The Sicilian Empire, two Sicilian Nations nearby. He already had many allies in the area, other City-States, but not in Sicily. That needed to change. He called his best writer to him.

Hello, after much consideration; we have decided to accept your most generous offer. We look forward to a prospering alliance between our two people.


Emperor Christiano is standing on the palace balcony, when a courier bursts into his quarters. Christiano looks over at him, "What is it?"


"My liege, our colony fleet has been attacked!"


"By who?" Chirstiano asks, surprised?"


"Im not sure of their name, but they live to the east. Im sure you know who im talking about"


Christiano nods. "Thanks" he says and waves the courier goodbye. Disappointed, Christiano will have to appoint a new explorer...


*New Explorer is appointed*


Emperor Christiano decides to send out more ships immediately; Sicily isn't a very large place afterall

I have been notified that many fleets and soldiers have been mobilized. I beg you to stop, as I believe the naval battle between the Caelon Confederacy and that unidentified fleet may cause a second Trojan War. To the Caelon Confederacy @Hunnyhelp, who were the ships you attacked? We must know before we raise our weapons?

Message - We have mobilized 7,000 Soldiers and 78 Warships, all fit for battle. If the Caelon Confederacy makes any kind of attack, we'll be there for reinforcements. We also have a strategic attack plan in mind on Caminum if you plan to go on the Offensive. We could also, most likely, force surrender on the Confederacy through Negotiation, if we wish. The Confederates are a civil, logical, and intellectual people. I am sure they will give in once they hear the odds against them, us having upwards of 10,000 Troops currently mobilized.

We believed at first that we had attacked your ships, because the ships were of Sicilian design. As it turns, you had not just sent your

colonel units back with a military to protect them. But under the assumption of you trying to invade our territory, our Admiral Herpert Greenly attacked, without alerting us. As it turns out, these were not your ships, but your neighbor Sicily's. We will be willing to negotiate in a neutral territory with you and your allies.
