defend and attack Britannia

>Pay off alans to head westward
>Resettle decimated lands
>Invaded the Ghassanid kingdom for goal of annexation

fixing name

Can I play as Welsh?

Push east

Not an option since its not historical accurate and would have to take land from an existing player, check the legend

It is nearing the end of Winter, 401.

THE VISIGOTHS have SACKED RAVENNA, the capital of the Western Roman Empire. King Alaric of the Visigoths says he intends to sack Rome itself.

THE GHASSANID KINGDOM is completely annexed by the Eastern Roman Empire. Understandbly, the Sassanid are quite threatened by this move.

>Wall of text for rules

Let the Picts take the rest

Seeing an oppurtunity to remove his second son, Clovis from the fighting altogether; King Karl appoints him to placate the quarreling nobles and maintain realm order, a task fitting for Clovis, a man reputed to be bookish, and poor with swordplay.

Meanwhile, Karl and Pepin push forward into Gaul, hoping to strike an effective blow as the winter draws to a close.

>Continue the momentum fro the invasion of the Gassiness, head for Babylon
>Establish formal diplomatic relations with the Huns
>Offer regular tribute to avoid Eastern Roman clay

Capture Westphalia fully

Due to the decentralised nature of the Frankish state, Clovis' work continues well into the spring but the relative peace in the realm means the way is opened for a more focused offensive.

As for the Vandals, a wide berth is given as the Franks see no reason for quarrel with them. Karl works to further the gains made into Roman territory, with his eldest son Pepin in tow.

>Armies have been assembled in Petra the invasion of Mesopotamia has commenced
> Sign non aggression pact with the Arab states
> This is a reconquest of proper Roman clay as trajan before hand

With the homeland secure, the saxon raiders look for plunder on the seas!
King Ethelric gathers his raiders to take advantage of the Chaos in Britannia and attacks Kent!

Are you sure you want to attack kent? That is controlled by the Jutes and could harm your relations with that faction.

Secure Italia

Then crush Maximus

The Frankish army, with it's footbold in Belgica, is in a safe enough position to counter the Angrian invaders.

As the war with Rome rages on, King Karl expresses fascination with the Roman religion, their idolatry of the Cross. This can only be a poor omen for the stability of the Frankish people

Feel bad, you've had the shittest of roles since starting

Clovis, by request of his father, King Karl of the Franks, has arrived in Saxon lands as an ambassador, bearing a gift of three chests of loot taken from the Romans in Belgica; as well as the promise of a marriage pact, as a gesture of goodwill.

A day may come when the courage of men fails,

when we forsake our friends

and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,

when the age of men comes crashing down,

but it is not this day! This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,

I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

King Karl, enraged at the supposed inaction of his generals, takes his place at the head of the army. Riding out with 10,000 men, he hopes to defeat the Angrians on the field so he may return to his conquest of Belgica

Sure. Give me Arabia though.

You mean East

King Karl gladly accepts the marriage proposal, and sends his son and heir Pepin to Westphallia to marry Eadgyth, whom word of her staggering beauty has apparently reached as far as Scythia

Treaty of Constantinople 401

Western Rome still exists?

9 spaces

With the once great city of Londinium secured King Ethelric realises that this is a opportunity for real conquest, not just raiding.
He marches to secure the rest of Brittania Superior.
Not all is well in the court however as Ethelrics 2 sons, close to coming of age, begin to wonder what the results of Succession will be....

The Wedding ceremonies are so joyous that despite the intoxicating after party, its memory is burned into the mind of all who attended.
This communion reminds the Frank warriors for what they fight, and this zeal burns in there heart as they take to the battle field the next day to turn the tide against the Angrians

i should have gotten 11 spaces

After an inspiring victory on the east of the Rhine; King Karl marches westward with the goal of finally bringing all of Belgica under the control of the Franks. Should he be succesful in this goal, his sights will surely be set on Lugdeunesis afterwards.

you have to specify which of your posts is your roll, or else op doesnt know which number to count

I should have gotten 11 spaces, which would have killed him

Oh, ok. Sorry OP.

Also, roll for Poosia

FUGG

King Ethelrics veteran warriors demand more plunder! They eye the Angles to the north.
Doubt clouds Ethelric, till his Favourite son Aart, spurs him on, saying that all of Brittannia could be there.

King Ethelric filled with confidence marches under a banner of his crack huscarls and invades the Angles to the north! Seeking to take the capital!

OP if you correct the map then instead of attacking Arabs (who would be dead), attack Scythia
if you dont fix the map then ignore this

you have to be more specific. tell me clearly what you want to do and I will do it.

Send the Visigoths to hell

last turn I rolled a 20 and Arabs rolled a 9.
That should have killed him but he is still alive.
I want you to fix the map because he should have been dead.
If you do fix the map, then attack Scythia
If not, attack Arabs.

Rolling for Persia
