Empire Earth and Battle for Wesnoth

Prolly some tactical RPG game with mecha vs pikemen vs cavemen?

You send an envoy to the Hurthlings, asking for their guidance and help with the crops.

3

The envoy returns empty-handed. He explains that few Hurthlings wanted to meet with him but none were important enough to get anyone moving.

A) Clearly, we should find some other solution... (if you pick this option, scroll up and pick A, B or C)
B) Clearly, there is a change of success - the envoy just gotta look about a little harder!

You decide to get both draftees and mercenaries into your Army.

5

Plenty of them both fill its ranks!


There is a report from the overseers of the settlement project; the last of the villages has been constructed in the east, and the project is now complete. Many refugees found new home in the houses built by your people.


Terrible weather has flooded the farmlands!

The people bemoan the lost seeds because after the bad harvest last year, there has been little left they could plant; now the seeds were washed away and nascent crops rot after days in the standing water. At least several southern regions are affected by this, and they ask for help.

A) Clearly, we will have to procure them seeds and foodstuffs from abroad!
B) Clearly, something's affecting the weather in bad way. We should search for a mighty Wizard!
C) Clearly, there is nothing that can be done about this.
D) Clearly, we should seek Hurthlings to come help us with their skills, now that we have some access to their land.

You graciously accept the rewards and praise th-

"King Eón also have noticed that his father had been lenient with you and did not collect the lawfully required tribute in years 963 and 968, owing, presumably, to your loyalty. Be advised that King Eón will not allow tribute to be forgotten, so plan your expenses accordingly." The envoy bows and leaves.


Within just a month you get hundreds of Kiwi refugees and shocking news from all over the west border. The Kiwi were invaded by the Atulak Khanate, and in a battle that saw 10.000 Kiwis square off against double that number of Khanate riders, the Kiwi King was slain with over 90% of his troops. Numerous smaller skirmishes saw the Kingdom shrink rapidly before Queen-Regent Tavula sent a mighty tribute to the Khan in exchange for Kiwi's limited autonomy.

Meanwhile, the Khan's son, Thang, took the other part of the Khanates on a war trip south and crushed the Damdamians in four battles, named 'The Four Shames of the Republic' by contemporary historians. The Khanate carved away a huge swath of Damdamian land, including the Chean Province.

Few days later, while the court is still livid with rumors and contemplation of the future, a report is sent to you; the harvests this year were small, owing to low temperatures in the summer and autumn, and people go about hungry! City governors and village elders alike plead for support from you - or rather, you coffers.

A) Fine! We will support the hungry ones this year.
B) Nay! We have other things to take care of!

You attempt to take the city by force. Small siege engines are prepared; few catapults, a pair of battering rams and even several dozens of scaling ladders.

4*

Your soldiers manage to scale the walls and capture one of the gates in first few hours! But the city remains strong, and the garrison tries twice harder to push your men out.

6*

But once your men have an entry point into the city, they don't give it up; hours go as more and more Tven soldiers enter the city. The central keep is besieged and by the morning it's wooden structures are burning!

3*

The fall of Tech is paid in heavy losses; almost a thousand of your soldiers die before the keep is captured and the last of the garrison killed or imprisoned. The victorious soldiers rampage across the city, taking lots of loot and women for themselves.


It's been almost two weeks, and the city served well as a hub from which your raiders harassed the dwarven caravans and even managed to shatter a group of three hundred men from Tagar who seemingly tried to reach the Eist heartlands on foot. Silly oafs!

On twelfth day after the capture of Tech, a messenger arrives from Prince Atredh, bearing grave news: King Tinwulf II, "The Trollslayer", has been killed during the Eistians' daring attempt to break the siege of their capital (they failed).

The eldest of Tinwulf's sons, Prince Eón, is now King of Dahnia and your senior. Long live King Eón!

You do not receive new orders from King Eón, however, so you convene with your officers and decide to...

A) Leave part of the Army to garrison Tech and march southwards in hopes of capturing few more settlements.
B) Continue disrupting logistics of the southern Eistians with your raiders and armed patrols.
C) Leave part of the Army to garrison Tech and march northwards to help King Eón besiege Eisf, the capital of Eist Kingdom.

And Corrosion, too. Mostly because no GM tracks enemy QL and its waste of skill on important (aka Boss) enemy units v;

Support stuff is split between front and end of the doc
Weapons in starting list have different stats to weapons in tables

Put all Support stuff to the bottom of the handbook, where them modifiers and ranks all discussed in full.
Nix starting list of weapons; simple weapon name reference is enough in its place, or get rid of it completely and people can look up starting weapons on trainee/first class entries.

Aka the only popular sport that isn't some form or football.

So Cricket doesn't qualify as a sport?

As far as I know, it's an insect.
