The warring states of Ka'r Valley - character and kingdom creation sheets

I just finished my military for whole kingdom and now I have to make seperate for just my dynasty.

 

Palace elite guards need not be counted in military forces.

Can you make a division, on what forces you control directly (the geography on + that is castles, villiages, towers, lairs and towns on +) and what is not under your queen's direct control.

Make f.e. division like this:
Royal forces
castle
town
village
village


noble stronghold 1
village
village

noble stronghold 2
village
town

First for geography then on Military?

 

Sorry, i'm back to work now. So i haven't had a chance to sit down and monkey with stats.

So to clarify, we're looking at something along the lines of...

Spoiler: Points

Starting Points +5
Spiteful Consort -3
Progeny +1
Nemesis -4
Skilled Spy +3
Rebellion -2
Raids -1
Powerful factions -4 - This one isn't one that could be taken more than once, but i still took it to represent the 4 tribes

Noble stronghold -5
Village -2
Village -2


Noble stronghold -5

Noble stronghold -5

Village -2


Castle +7
Holy site +3
Village +2
Village +2
Wild Areas +1
Wild Areas +1
Wild Areas +1
Wild Areas +1
Holdout -3
Holdout -3

....Which would bring me to -20?

 

So, the:

Would represent a tribe as a faction.

 

So the villages(or anything) under the nobles wouldn't have a cost either positive or negative? Am I understanding that right?

 

Villages - and other palces - uner Noble control have a negative value. Maybe this will make it easier to explain:
Village under your control (+2)(can be taken many times) – a small village.
Village under Noble control (-2)(can be taken many times) – a small village.

Same with Castles, Towns, Holy Sites, etc.

 

What moonblack said

 

Spoiler: ruler

Name: Astrid of the house of Kazam

Race: Human

Description/pic:

Origins (choose one): True Heir- Daughter of the previous King, Willem, who was mysteriously assassinated only a year ago.

Primary Education (choose one): Magecraft. All members of the house of Kazam are known for their intense illusionary magic, and Astrid has been trained in the arts as well.

Secondary Education (choose one): Prowess: Due to the indirect nature of her magic, she was also trained in the art of swordplay.

Age (choose one): Young- She was twenty when her father died.

Length of your rule (choose one): Short

Trait (choose one): Diplomacy: Despite being new to this, Astrid has a way with people, and can work out deals with even the surliest of foreign leaders.
Flaw (choose one): Frail: The house of Kazam have all historically been powerful illusionists, so they've never really had a reason to train physically. Astrid is no exception. Without her magic or a weapon, she's basically defenseless.
History (description of your story so far):

It is said that when the kingdom of Feld was in its infancy, it was a lawless territory. Anarchy ran wild, with no law or order in sight. So the god Imir bestowed his gifts upon the greatest man around at the time, Kazam.

Since then, the house of Kazam has ruled over Feld for years, and the people were happy. Not everyone was, though....

Willem of the house of Kazam tried his best to keep the peace with rulers of other kingdoms, but someone, somewhere didn't like him, and he was slain. His only living relative, his daughter Astrid, was forced onto the throne.

This was a decision initially met with a lot of backlash, but Astrid eventually won the people over. Unfortunately, she does not carry the same respect as her father did, so her Kingdom is constantly being overrun with threats to the civilians. Hopefully, she can fix that before she runs the kingdom into the ground.

Spoiler: Kingdom and traits

Name of the Kingdom: Feld

Style of the kingdom (choose one): Medieval

Gender policy (choose one): Equality of gender

Race policy (choose one): Equality of race, but the royal family is and was only human.

Religion (choose one): State religion.
All in Feld worship the god Imir, for he is the one who turned this lawless land into the place it is today.

Dynasty (This section describes your family)
Only living member of the dynasty (-4) – you are the last of the dynasty
Personal (Your personal link with the important people in the kingdom):
Champion (+3) – you have a warrior of great skill on your court. That champion is one of the best warriors in the kingdom.
Incompetent Advisor (-1) – you have an advisor, whose advice seems to be logical, but in some way usually backfires.
Unbeknownst to Astrid, this is being done on purpose. Salem worked under her father for many years, and when news about Willem's passing came about, he thought he should have been the one to take over ruling the Kingdom. So he plots to make her look bad so he can take over. And if that doesn't work, h
Experienced General (+1)(can be taken many times) – an experienced leader who has led your army through battles.
Disloyal Guards (-3) – the loyalty of your guards is not with you but with someone else – your consort/your regent/noble family of consort/etc.
Skilled Spy (+3) – a skilled spy, whose abilities you can count on.
Society and situation:
Barbarian invasion (-4) – a warlord leading an army of barbarians/orcs/amazons/wild elves/etc from outside of the valley decided to conquer your kingdom.
Kingdom's pride (+3) – there is a general feeling of pride in being part of your kingdom and being a subject of your dynasty.
Minority refugees (-3) – there is a sizeable minority of refugees from far away in your kingdom. Their traditions, outfits and religion are all quite exotic... and they don't want to assimilate.
Cult (-3) – a cult following religion in opposition to the kingdom's religion working in secret

Geography
Wild area(+1)
Cursed land (-3)
Village (+2 )
Castle (+5)
Town (+7)
Abandoned (-1)
Ruins (-2)
Remnants stronghold (-2)
Wild monster (-4)

Military Points: 13
Knights of Kazam- -3
General Militia: -1
Elite Warriors: -3
Paladins: -3
Nobles: -3

I might have messed up the military segment, but otherwise I think I did this right. I'm also willing to work with other players on drafting up past history between Feld and your kingdoms.

 

Okay, I am really sorry for still holding on you.

I counted the points, and it goes like that:

Spoiler: points military/geography

Royal forces have:

2 villages 2*2 =+4
1 castle +5
3 towns 3*6=+18
holy site +5
Mage tower +3
monster lair +4

Total of =39 points – not 45... and since royal forces count for 41 points, just remove one squad and we will be set – and the sheet will be accepted
Again, sorry for picking on math

 

Yup, the military is as follows, as you have:
village +2
castle +5
Town +6
That gives a total of 13 points. As you have only one castle, you can afford only one +3 unit of knights/nobles/elite warriors.

Besides that, everything seems to be okay.

 

@Regin34

Okay, you are good to go...

 

all right, my second attempt at balancing out my points

Part of me almost wants me to throw in the towel and just go for some kind of smaller idea in scale, but I know it's just because i'm making such a large Kingdom. Once i get the points sorted, everything else should fall into place (I haven't touched the military yet).

 

I double-checked and you seem to be at -2 currently, so almost done. You could add another thing, such as a village or a guild, to fully balance them.

 

Alright, fixed.

 

I used to be good at math.

anyway, I threw a couple of +1 Wild Areas onto the list and it should be balanced out

 

Again, as you have only one castle, you can afford only one +3 unit of knights/nobles/elite warriors.
So you can only have one +3 unit.
The rest need to be +2 or +1

 

Okay, let's check...

Spoiler: MATH!

+5 points
Spiteful Consort (-3) =2
Progeny (+1)=3
Nemesis (-4) =-1
Skilled Spy (+3)=2
Rebellion (-2)=0
Raids (-1)=-1
Powerful factions (-4)=-5
Kingdom's pride (+3) =-2
[Draconian]

• Village (-2)(can be taken many times) – a small village.=-9
• Village (-2)(can be taken many times) – a small village.=-11

[Faunas]
Castle (+5)(can be taken many times) – A stronghold that can serve as a strong point between one kingdom and the other... or to protect the border from barbarian raids.=-6
Village (+2)(can be taken many times) – a small village.=-4

[Woodland Elves] -Not currently supporting The Monarchy

Wild area (+1)=0
Wild area (+1)=1

Holdout (-3)=0
Holdout (-3)=-3
Monster Lair (+5)=2

Hmm... okay, so when you throw those 2 wild areas or one village, you should be okay

 

Actually, now that I look at it more carefully, I think Merkros had it right initially (with just 4 Wild Areas) and I screwed things up by saying he was at -2 (when he was at 0). Because of me he added two more Wild Areas and that is why he is now at +2.

I'm sorry, guys, I don't know how this happened. I used to be good at math, I swear!

 

Deleted two wile areas.


Im glad I'm not the only one getting baffled by the stupidly big kingdom that i came up with.

 

I am afraid I gave too much math

Then that leaves only military!
If it's too much, I can do it for you
