Clockwork Robot Kingdom

[The Jiggler]

Clockwork Robot Kingdom

2,071 years ago Julius Caesar invaded Britannia, desecrating native temples and villages and bring death and destruction to the island. But that has nothing to do with this roleplay lmao. But, in 1432, Doctor Ägidius Lohmiller gained funding from the German Research Foundation for a project, nicknamed Operation Amaranth, to produce sentient clockwork robots to help the Venetian armies during the Wars in Lombardy. Y'know, before Germany even existed. After the prototypes were rushed into production by Franky Foscari and failed on the battlefield, Lohmiller was chased out of Europe. He fled to the next planet a few star systems over and landed on Tanelus. Here he went to the Cardinal Alliance in hopes that the mages there would infuse their magic with his technology to create sentient robots. After awhile of nothing that worked, the mages and Lohmiller concocted a lubricant that would give the robot sentience. Thanking the mages and learning the recipe for the lubricant, Lohmiller went north to produce an army to conquer Tanelus. His kingdom was easily established within under a week. Robots produced other robots which produced other robots and also helped construct cities that had buildings that touched the sky, they also constructed a giant wall around Lohmiller's kingdom. Although over the course of ten years, tension grew higher and higher between the Vervel District where Dr. Lohmiller resided and the Swydaw District where the rejects and the ones with a few bolts loose, lived. Eventually, a civil war broke out. Many of the Greater Robots of the Motherland's Armies defected to the Secessionist Union (rebelling against Dr. Lohmiller). Although, a majority of them stayed loyal to the Blue Legion. 

Choose your Faction

Secessionist Union's Coat of Arms
The Seccestionist Union separated from the Kingdom because of radical robots believing that Dr. Lohmiller was to blame for their defects. They control a majority of the kingdom at the moment but are hardly trained and aren't as near as effective as those of the soldiers of the Blue Legion. They're waging this war to overthrow Dr. Lohmiller at the Vervel District.

OR

Blue Legion
The Blue Legion was organized when the peasants in the Swydaw District decided to rebel and create the Secessionist Union. Constructed of the elite and trained units but heavily outnumbered, the Blue Legion has the scientific support of Lohmiller, so they'll produce new units faster than the Secessionist Union but if the Union convinces the rest of the districts, no matter what Lohmiller does he won't be able to combat the masses. 

Troops:

Depends on the faction you choose.

Building & Technology:

Depends on what faction you choose.

Location:

The Clockwork Robot Kingdom is located northeast of the Fauxland Wastes. 

[Dex]

I choose the Blue Legion, how dare those defect-riddled, bolt-loose failures rebel! We will crush them with technology and skill! No matter how many buffoons you have, the smart will always win!

I'd like to know the technology we have access to so that I know what to crush those mongoloids with!

[The Jiggler]

You join the Blue Legion. You will surely beat back these peasants. (Your kingdom is contested and you aren't in a chair of total power until Lohmiller dies or you defeat the peasants and become the Prime Minister.) You have a bonus for having Dr. Lohmiller on your side. Units are 90% cheaper and can be made hastily. 

Your currency is cogs, and you have 5,000 cogs.

Troops: 

Praetor Dex of Legio I Invictus: Level 69, can use his intelligence to use scraps around him to create temporary minions. 

Veteran Legionnaire: Legionnaires of Legio Invictus are elite soldiers, using gladiuses, pila with electromagnetic pulsing gel at the heads of the pilum, and pugios. They wear lorica segementata and bear royal blue plumes, indicating their place in the Blue Legion. Each legionnaire costs 84 cogs.

Disciples of Accoleius: The Disciples of Accoleius is an elite force in Cohort I. Armed with rifles and pistols, these are the ranged legionnaires of the Legion. Each Disciple costs 95 cogs.

Eagles of the North: The Eagles of the North are the elitist soldiers who strike fear even into the Centurions who lead cohorts. An Eagle of the North is rumored to be able to take out one hundred legionnaires who have mastered swordsmanship and firearms alike without even drawing blood. Each one costs 567.3 cogs.

Buildings & Technology:
The cities have already been built with many civic centers, etc. 
Currently, Dr. Lohmiller is researching how to advance firearms.

Location:
The headquarters from which the Legion is operating from in the kingdom is on the northeastern island in the Vervel District. Ferries equipped with cannons and multiple Disciples of Accoleius protect the crossing Legionnaires and other reinforcements. 

[Dex]

How many units do I have exactly and what are they? I'd like to know so I can manufacture more clockwork soldiers to crush defective mongoloids. For now however I'd like to focus on the research, I'd like to allocate 700 cogs to Lohmiller's firearm research for the required materials needed and a couple of our smartest clockwork robots to research with him.

[The Jiggler]

You have two cohorts of Veteran Legionnaires, a cohort of Disciples of Accoleius, and a contubernium of Eagles of the North.

Currency isn't a factoring part in the Doctor's research. Although, the Clockwork Robots with the fastest processors will help speed up the process. 

[Dex]

Great. Alright, I'd like to find out the major leaders of the Union and anywhere he is unprotected. I'm going to assassinate them!

[The Jiggler]

The major organizers of the Union are:

• Carter
• Ada
  
• Otis
• Butler
• Quincy

They're identified by purple and cyan armbands as well as crude plate armor. They have large security details, though, constituting of 30 Veteran Legionnaires and one Eagle of the North each. Damn defectors. The five Majors convene at the Greenbelt Convention Center in the deep Swydaw District, where thousands of junkbots¹ train.

1- Junkbots is a derogatory term coined by Legionnaires when talking about the Secessionists.

Okay so I can't exactly kill them now but I'd like to start training stealth clockwork robots that can assassinate these junker organizers by getting past their security. About 25 robots trained in stealth gives me 5 goes at assassinating all of them! THESE JUNKBOTS WILL RUE THE DAY THEY MESSED WITH THE LEGION!

[The Jiggler]

You begin training Veteran Legionnaires with the Eagles of the North. They should be able to be upgraded into Eagles of the North in 8 turns.

Alright, how many turns until firearms is researched? I want to talk with those defectives with guns, repeatedly, to the head.

[The Jiggler]

You already have firearms. Lohmiller is just trying to upgrade them.

Well how many turns until they're upgraded! I want them to cower in fear as my clockwork soldiers deactivate their defective junkbrains!

[The Jiggler]

4 turns until your firearms are upgraded from projectiles to energy weapons.
6 turns until you have 25 Eagles of the North.

Energy weapons? I'll melt those junkers back into scrap metal! I'd like to start making plans for the assassination of the big 5 Union leaders, if I can't assassinate them in one place. I'll assassinate them one by one.

[The Jiggler]

3 turns until you have energy weapons.
5 turns until you have 35 Eagles of the North.

Alright.  Send 70 veterans and 4 of my Eagles to assassinate now during her weakest point.

[The Jiggler]

You cannot sneak that many troops past the borders.

You have 2 turns until energy weapons.
You have 4 turns until 25 Eagles of the North.

Fine! Could you tell me how many units I need, to invade? I need to kill those junkbots, their metal needs to be dented!

[The Jiggler]

You have 1,000 Veteran Legionnaires, 500 Disciples of Accoleius and 10 Eagles of the North.

1 turn until energy weapons. 
3 turns until 25 Eagles of the North.

But what's a rough estimate on how many units I need to invade.

[The Jiggler]

5,000 units. 

[Dex]

Guess I'll have to get money to fund my invasion into Junkbot territory. I'd like to train 30 of my veterans into eagles.

[The Jiggler]

You have energy weapons. 
2 turns until 25 Eagles of the North.
15 turns until 30 Eagles of the North.

Alright. I'd like to start researching on how to best kill these Junkers and these defectors. We have to have some sort of weakness, we can then repair that weakness and prevent it on future models! We can then still use the weakness on these terrible defectors!

[The Jiggler]

you look into weaknesses.
