What about Flumes starting a tremendous fuss in Ziyer, which makes Zolony feel safe to go nuts and begins their own war spree into its surrounding territories.

To counter the growing threat, the Assassins from their base in Africa get involved -- resulting in New Harumf to attack Tigerland directly while the Assassins are spread thin.

To add a twist, Shreikland and Sahndaq could do a little 'at one another's' throats over their different religions, which results in a bloody religious conflict along their border villages where inhabitants are of mixed nationality on both ends.

Savvy?

Shreik would bring the whole Muslim Brotherhood down on him. His Sultan isn't stupid enouhg to do that, I think.

On the other hand, Abnar's willing to go to war with just about anyone other than Al, so I can stir the pot, even if my spoon is a bit small...

(Yes, in this metaphor, my military is a piece of cutlery.)

Oh. :shy:

Come onnn I need opinions....! :lol:

It's cool.

Well, in Africa, we could have a local tribal war in the interior of the Sahara with one set being Muslim, and the other set being Christian, and we could start sending troops to support one side or the other. Then, before you know it, we can have some huge mother f-ing tank battles in the open desert, and then spill the whole thing throught Africa.

Eventually, Africa could try an invasion of the Ibearian Penninsula, just for grins!!

Or not.

I don't know. Al Araam would be my first choice, but if he is too busy, then it would probably go to you indeed.

If I end up having time, which I think I probably will by the time we get this rolling, I'd love to RP Paradise if you're too busy to.

The GC could spark a war in Africa by attempting to set up a slave-trading colony on the coast of West Africa.

We should do all those ideas at once! :lol:

West African trade colony, Flumesian invasion of Ziyer establishing Rawiri as the leader, tribal religious war in the middle of the Sahara!!!

Africa sounds the most exciting so far, actually...

Okay so let us assume these are the ideas we go with for starting up the conflicts in the regions. Now here is a question...who is gonna get assassinated, where will the great battles of this war be, and all that jazz?

The greatest battle will undoubtedly be at Constantinople. Muslims vs. Christians.

I figured as much but we would need more than that one battle....

In Asia, The Battle of Velorya would be an interesting spectacle if NRE has his way...

In Europe, apart from the Battle of Istanbul/Constantinople, The battle of Gibralter would be interesting...as would the battle of Rome....

Apart from that, who knows...

Hey Nag, how do you like the idea on territory takeover?

OK. Now I'm torn between my ally who will change the city's name from one incorrect name to another, or the Nagian's who will restore the correct name, but who my nation has been opposing for the recent past. Hm...

Then again, the Saladin idea might see Al Araam joining the invasion of Romania, so who knows where this is all going...

Didn't the real Saladin purge Egyptian Shi'ism? Or am I mistaken? If our real Saladin is anything like that, that might also complicate things for you.


And instead of the wrong name, I'd like to think it will simply be "the City" most of the time, and everybody can be happy with that ;)

So its agreed that multiple events will throw us into war as opposed to one super event?

As for a city name...The City upon Dardenelles!! :D :P

The Battle of that city will be a prime battle for the Mid East and Europe...but what other battles, since I doubt anyone outside of those two regions would consider it all that big a deal....

If they don't consider it a big deal then they are wrong. Constantinople is the Queen of Cities, the center of the world, and its battles shake the order of the entire earth.

Also, the real city at least, I don't know about CE's Genesis, is on the Bosporus and not the Dardenelles :P

Depending on when this war happens Draxis may or may not be involved right away, I have to complete a few story arches before I would consider Draxis developed enough to go into a big war.

Sennar is about to go batshit crazy and splinter to an insane degree. WMDs will be flying just about everywhere, maybe something involving Sennar can help cause the World War front in Africa. Maybe the Catholics provoke Scytherius, and Scytherius brings the hammer down on them. Of course there will be a humanitarian crisis soon, and Sennar will be a lot like Somalia was in the early 90's, just with lots of WMDs (Chemical/Biological, no Nukes).

They don't need to provoke Scythirus. In fact, I was thinking of purging the western side of Socrotra of Sennar's presence.

Not quite, no ... What I had in mind was more similar to NH's idea. A war between small villages, with the official army supporting the insurgents. Besides, if any major conflict erupts, Sahndaq can request that they be allowed to handle their situation on their own. (For the sake of keeping the WW on track)

Look, Constantinople had a myriad of names throughout history ... Including Byzantium, Nova Roma, Constantinople, Augusta Antonina, and Basileus Polis. The lattermost name was cultural, and never official.

Of course as RD said, the Greeks just called it 'The City,' just as the Byzantines referred to it as the 'The Queen of Cities'. You must remember that back in the day (As I am sure it is here in the forums), Constantinople was the greatest City in the world in its heyday.

Food for thought. Eat away. Yummy-yum. ^_^

Saladin conquered both the Kingdom of Jerusalem and Egypt (I think he used more diplomatic tactics for Egypt, though). History channel ftw!

That be fun!

Just give me a side to fight on and I'll fight.

I was thinking the Orgienist would piss some one off start a war which I could blow the f**k up and start a WW

Well Sennar has almost no presence there anymore, its all SPECTERE now. They are using it as a port of call for just about anything they can get their hands on and sell. I'm sure they wouldn't mind selling it back to Scytherius if they could maintain an unrestricted presence there.

And if anyone wants to get involved when Sennar goes nuts and splinters off, just PM me and I can tell you who the factions are. Right now I probably have a month or so before I will have mentioned most of the factions in my RP. For some reason I want Sennar to have a helping hand in creating a nice theater for war in Africa.

OOC: Don't forget the fact that Sennar and Eleytheria have established relations not that long ago. Selling ya dirt cheap oil and supplying you with modernized arms, you be damn right I'll support the central Government.
