This is the military side of the update posts. In this you'll learn how to invest in Military and how conflicts will go. This system is still in the works and will need to be tweaked.

Types of Military

Standing Military- Can be deployed within the season, costs far more.

Reserves- Half can be deployed in the next season, the other half the following season.

Navy- There are 4 types of ship. Battleship, Cruiser, Destroyer, and transport. You will need transports to cross any bodies of water. A single group of transports (bought together for 5,000 EM) can move 20,000 soldiers.

Economy

Land Soldiers

Every soldier in the standing military will cost 2 EM. Therefore, 100,000 soldiers costs 200,000 EM.

Every reserve soldier will cost .5 EM.

Navy

Battleships- 40,000 EM

Cruisers- 20,000 EM

Destroyers- 10,000 EM

Transports- 5,000 EM

Wars, Conflicts, and Battles

Troop Movements

When attacking/defending you'll need to submit troop movements on a map. You'll have to add numbers to the arrows. Take into account the terrain. Moving your troops across a desert or over mountains without a plan is not going to go well. Also please outline what cities you'll attack. For cities you can use a modern map.

Battles

In a war, there are battles. As an attacker you can move to attack a city, or meet the opposing army in the field of battle should they move their troops that way. Know attacking a city will grant the defenders a large advantage. Every battle that occurs will receive an individual roll.

Advantages and Disadvantages

There are advantages and disadvantages to a battle. Being the defenders automatically gives an advantage. Meeting on the field of battle does not give either side an advantage. Moving your troops over unfamiliar terrain and climates (AKA moving them into the arctic or desert for example) also results in a disadvantage for the attackers.

Terrain

As previously stated terrain can change a battle or a war. Moving an entire army over the mountains is extremely difficult as is moving one over rivers, hot climates, and cold climates. This is a very much situation specific variable.

Naval Battles

These will depend much on numbers, tactics, and experience. If you have 5 battleships but no captain has ever commanded a battleship before and they come against a more experienced navy, they will be at a serious disadvantage.
