Merry Easter, one and all. Happy Day if you celebrate it or, if not, I just hope it was a happy day anyways

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio
Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

hmm how to the Khan's Gunpowder-less bombard ships work?
Big catapult on the front of the ship.
I would just like to mention that Titanic has PMed me and dropped out. If anyone knows of somebody to replace him that's fine, else they will be controlled by me.
No they don't.
Sadko said
Alright, Khan doesn't have guns, muskets, bombs, right?
No they don't.

Well, I'm planning to invade Iraq so buckle yourselves in!
Actually Iraq is part of the Arab League so you would be pissing off Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and (Obviously) Iraq. All who were members by 1950 and would be very pissed off at you:L
Nations Name: The Ordo Pallidum
Flag:
Form of Government: Despotism
Describe the System: The Chief Inquisitor is the head of the Ordo, this man is elected by the previous Chief Inquisitor after they have served for 20 years. The Chief Inquisitor has total control over the Ordo and instructs them on what to do when; he also has a privy council who handle the day to day running of the Ordo’s bases.
Population: 3,000
Important Settlements:
-The Bastion, an old capital building it was the first place the Ordo settled and ‘cleansed’ of the mutant plague. It is deemed an almost holy location and only those who truly distinguish themselves reserve the honor of defending it.
-Eastguard, a former high school it is directly to the east of the Bastion, here is where new recruits are normally trained and almost certainly will have the highest number of Ordo Zealots at any one time compared to the other bases.
-Grey Skies, this is a former military airbase and is a prized possession of the Ordo, it houses a number of planes that, as of yet, are not working however the Ordo hopes to soon be able to fix them and take to the skies to purge the lands like angels.
Description: The Ordo was formed to combat the growing threat of the mutated and ghoulish that infest this wasteland. It is seen as being a lower form of life if you are radiated in such a way and in the opinion of the members they must be cleansed from the land. They take their teachings from a book known as the 'Born Heretic' which is normally quoted by Chief Inquisitor Leonidas Kalk during his speeches or lectures. They are a very ruthless band and travel across the wastes killing ghouls wherevber they can be found. Recently news of a nation made up entirely of ghouls has been arriving in Ordo territory and in preperation for this they are pushing a very heavy recruitment drive for more members as well as liberating a local hospital from bandit control to try and increasr the number of medical supplies they have access too.
Important Characters:
Chief Inquisitor Leonidas Kalk, 47
Privy Member Troyas Gillgon, 50
Privy Member Frederick Halter, 35
Privy Member Hallan Kalk, 41
Military: Your average Ordo Zealot carries with them a small arms of some description, perhaps a 9 or 10mm pistol and 2 mags of ammo as well as a larger gun of some sort. Most have a basic Service Rifle whilst others carry an Assault Rifle, their rifle also has 2 mags of ammo. They are also clad in a basic bullet proof vest and adorned with the crimson robes of the order that hang down them. The Ordo also has a number of machine gun positions built into each of settlements as well as 2 mortar positions in the Bastion. The more experienced of the Ordo members, Ordo Veterans, are armoured in a light metal plate. FInally the Ordo has around 50 vans that were armoured up to carry Ordo members across the wastes, each of which has a mounted machine gun on the top. The vans were converted by 5 mechanics the Ordo has who are now stationed in Greyskies and are working on the planes there. Finally each base also has a supply of RPGs in case of an attack from an enemy in which bullets are not effective.
WIP, is there going to be a map?

@Asura, mmmm anywhere between 1billion and 2billion
Looks good, I like the fact you are playing the role...makes for good story:)
Dutchbag said
Right, apologies. I thought you suddenly turned the puppets against the puppet masters for the lulz. And after the earlier debacles...But do use "Kingdom of Egypt"!
No worries, I understand you dont want everybody having a complete turn around (Hundreds of revolutions for example) and you want it to be alternate in a realistic sense:) Ahhhh will do:)
The Incredible John said
Ohh....This is a major setback. Not to mention that it would also strain my already precarious relationship with Azvanor. Not to worry, my plan would still work. On another note, how likely is my German conquistadors going to make contact with Khan?
Thats fine, sorry I wasn't too clear on the hating earlier:) Also it was going to happen over the next seasonal update.
@Asura, it would be the cost of the ships plus a bit extra, maybe 500million to 1billion, soldiers it is roughly the same for all and finally 5billion or there abouts.
@Guyveille, Regulars into veterans happens through combat and recruits into regulars is the same cost as recruitment. Ermm it's random but roughly 1 a year.

I just read gowia's IC.I'm going to leave if there are more mind-boggling changes of allegiance and lack of research like this. Wafd was content on the British payroll and didn't intend on fighting the British. The government would flip shit and condemn it immediately.And yes, they are traitors to Egypt if you were going to say that.
Actually I did do some research. Please see this and explain to me how it is wrong? Admittedly I did make this all happen earlier but apart from that they are pretty in sync.
