Estermere - A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay

I plan for the war to serve as a background instead of a really, really, really, really, really big encounter. There will be a dark atmosphere and we'll all be exposed to the effects of martial law. Bear in mind it is a resistance movement. It's not an offensive, it's an underground organization that doesn't operate on the front lines swinging swords and flinging potions.

Disease and starvation follow large armies. It isn't so much as they couldn't summon that many people (which would be a stretch if they could) so much as it would be impossible to wage war, you wouldn't be able to siege due to not being able to feed your own army, and controlling a force that large in battle would be impossible without a massive command structure and radio (could replace radio with wizards).Someone wanting to field that larger force would want the war finished in a couple of months, and push the enemy over with a show of force

Eh, technically once they were done with conquering the Sarethians didn't do much except tell world leaders how many men they've got. Mostly, after the Age Of Conquest the Sarethians used their military for mostly intimidation, crime reduction and the occasional rebellion putdown.

Once they finally DID invade, however, yes, Fated, I agree with you.

Working on a mwa ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHHAHA post now.

I quite like the idea of a war, but think about numbers please. 800,000 is far too much. it would be more reasonable for a large nation to be able to muster 50,000 max

It's the bloody Sarethian empire.

Shit, they ruled what would be Asia and the Pacific Ocean combined when they were still standing.

By the way, I'm having a wee bit of trouble comparing Rostguard to a country of about the same size on Earth.

I felt like it.

Hmm... the Sarethians would have had a bloody army of 800,000 if they wanted to.

Narion the Empy has taken over two-three countries... let's say he has 60,000.

Rosty is small so let's say 10,000.

Blitzkrieg in medieval times? Especially with such large numbers? Perhaps they have some sort of magical assistance...

The D&D Multiverse has dragons, gnolls, hobgoblins, elves...

Of course they have a wizzy or two.

Since Rosty is a smal country, I'd say Niscenis have... 200,000 while Rosty has 120,000. Nisceni is a relatively new yet flourishing empire, so I expect troop training and numbers to be tip top.

Actually, the invasion would be blitzkrieg-style and Fayport would be overrun overnight. As the Nisceni advance further inland, the remaining cities in Forest Mither would form a resistance movement.

Estermere is a strategically important location because of the Astronomer's Guild and a massive supply of magic rock surrounding Estermere Berion has aptly named Berionite.
