Athara magarat

Thing with historical wars is, the numbers can be exaggerated by anyone.

I myself have always said that only around 50,000 Khas-Kirati soldiers were involved in Khas-Kirati Eastern War (Samudera, Linaviar, Negarakita) and Invasions of mainland Gael (you, Thubek and DS) put together but people on both sides would have exaggerated it to hundreds of invaders or glorious warriors (depending on who was writing it) raining down.

We can thus OOCly agree on numbers but ICly put even a million men as we saw fit (except for quite modern wars).

Dormill and Stiura wrote:When I wrote them I felt that they worked. D&S's empire was at its zenith and was capable of deploying large amounts of troops abroad. Up against them are the victims of at least one prior invasion, who had rallied in the face of the second and their two allies, a local power and another empire but much further stretched out than mine.

We on the other hand had this problem of highly decentralised state. Constituent hangates would nod but not send their armies. Even if they did, the armies would be small in numbers or just arrive late into the war. Armies from different hangates would still be having their rivalries or enmity even on battlefield against foes that threaten them all.

Hence it would be no surprise that you, Noronica, Keomora, the Oseans and even the San Montagnans all took over the Empire as time progressed and inflicted major defeat after defeat.

I am pretty sure DS, Noronica and Razzgriz, with all their extensive colonies and at their zenith, could field million man armies in grand-scale and long-lasting wars like the Great Argus Wars.

I mean not field at the same time and at the same place but still.

I am pretty sure Belgium had a 800,000 man army at a time.

Neat!

Land of Werewolves; haha :P

One thing, though, in 740s BC, eastern AM would be inhabited mainly by maybe a few Argean Ipachi settlements here and there. These few people would have more in common with the folks of Samudera or Dibolans of Torom than anything people generally associate with modern-day Athara Magarat. Much of the then Xrevaran-descended Yaxa civilisation (aka the ancestors of dem devil Kirats) was in western coastline back then. Only after 5th Century will this eastern portion become Kiratised as well.

This factbook is a very excellent read :)

Conclusion, the spelling system can, theoretically, be cleaned up, but there's a lot of baggage, and there needs to be a lot of compromises to keep things looking recognizable. Was thinking of branching some of that work into a form of Linicised English spelling for my nation, for unofficial and educational uses.

Practically, the language hasn't had a major spelling reform since the standardization that occurred in the 15-1600s, and that was smack in the middle of the Great Vowel Shift, so... yeah. Probably not gonna change any time soon

Hey if it works it works.

Instructions can be found here. It's pretty simple, but you have to wait around a week or more before you will be on the map if Vanc deems you suitable.

Where are you planning to claim anyway?

Well it used to be 1550s to 1974, however because I don't want to miss out on all the historical wars, I'm having lisbon's influence slowly diminishes throughout the late 19th century so by the time the Imperial war rolls around I'm basically independent.
