My Expansion, Related to This Ah... I'm also using this to bring the War on Piracy back to the forefront. Almost a decade ago, the Commonwealth and some of it's allies "declared war" on Piracy--which nearly dominated the Iryiiad seas, as well as everything north of the present-day United Socialist Empire. "Lines, why was this a thing?" Partially for RP--it let us target something without having to hurt someone, partially because there needed to be excuses for why large swaths of land "out of contact" with the rest of the world, but mostly because Piracy is how the Lanlanians ended up with Sabine--it was a large pirate stronghold. Over the course of a few weeks, the Commonwealth Navy (in conjecture with the Adehnite Navy) broke the pirate fleets, before landing forces on Sabine and sweeping across the island. We decided to stay. That was pretty much the end of organized piracy in Iryiiad, though the island off northern Dyriiad might have some running around. However, the Commonwealth basically destroyed piracy as a solid threat in Iryiiad. And it was planning doing similar in the north. But then the Imperial War against Zanaro broke out, which necessitated the postponement of distant military operations. After Zanaro, the whole DU-IA thing took off, which further tied down Commonwealth operations. Unfortunately, the whole DU-IA thing has somewhat died down; this, coupled with my boredom, has promoted the Now, this could mean a few things. The Commonwealth mainly just wants the Kalzans (because I want the Kalzans), but would be willing to participate in limited operations against pirates further north. And yes, there are pirates further north. I believe I posted somewhere that the majority of pirates came from Hylis. Hylis used to spawn the entire Verles region though. This means that the pirates could come from those regions... which means we can lash out against them. To expand the extent of the War on Piracy, we could identify a few pirate strongholds (aside from the Kalzans), and hit those. Keep some of them too. Confirmed Pirate Strongholds The Kalzan Islands (IS10) Potential Pirate Strongholds GN01 Islands (secondary "pirate" facilities in need of "liberation") Islands of the Colonium Coast (Hylis would likely be involved with these) Others? (as in, do you guys have any suggestions) Potential Timeline

I'll overwatch on this to make sure you're not making it to easy on yourself. So'Karsa may get invovled as we have a vested interest in the stability of the region. |

Imonda will most certainly try to get involved with anti-piracy operations in the Tobian because I don't want my trade to be hampered by pirates. |

Northern Novreal, theres a few islands that could be really good pirate Havens, as well as the Peninsula off the Saallands. And the Coalition would gladly assist in putting down dogs e_e |

The USE might be interested in helping out if it finds out about the operation. Its not looking for any land from helping, the USE just wants to increase regional stability and build positive relations with the surrounding countries. |

Lovely~~ Would you only participate to curb the pirates, or in hopes of gaining more?
Ditto Kub's que.; just helping to crush pirates, or do you seek territorial gains? As to your suggestion though... I don't think either of those areas would make ideal pirate strongholds. The islands are too far to the north--it kinda hard to pirate successfully when you're far from the main trade routes. Maybe they could retreat there... assuming we don't sink them off the coast off southern Novreal. The peninsula has kind of the same problem. You guys have shown Novreal to be reasonably successful, which suggests that piracy wouldn't be a real thing on the sovereign states--that peninsula area would be a sovereign state. I also want to keep the pirates on islands, to not force any of the coastal states to be piss poor--just too weak to really fight a large pirate empire. ;P
Alright. I'll arrange for Soren to reach out to the USE as well. |

We'll see how it goes, but perhaps an island or two being "used" by Imonda for anti-piracy peacekeeping wouldn't be too bad... |

So'Karsa would probably be involved, at the very least to aidin tactical situations (EG: anything with stealth/assassination). Also I think we could easily work out any deals necessary for us providing supplies to an extent. |

Maybe some parts of the peninsula of NV01 could have pirate bases? The peninsula creates a strait through which trade ships would be forced to travel through in order to go north/south, so would be easy pickings for any pirates (much like the RL Somalian pirate situation). |

Yeah, I'm aware. I did consider spawning some on there, but aligned against it on the grounds that Novreal proper (read: Invaria right next to that plot, and Corali to it's northwest) are too prosperous for pirates to have holdings on the mainland. Galaraese is poorer though, as is Colonium--in these places, the pirates could be militarily stronger than the government; not so for the prosperous regions. |
