Knights of Tezoth

"Oh, if only I knew myself... he didn't really explain anything." – Rezara thought.

– His Holiness wishes, with his mighty hand, to unite all faithful sons and daughters of Tezoth. Join him, and together we will cleanse Tezoth of treacherous traitors who seek to shake the very foundations of the kingdom! I speak of Revnland and its probable allies. Perhaps of someone else... Do not be afraid, Deus has no intention of forcing anyone or establishing his own order in Olivus. For our coalition, he is a wise mentor and chief strategist. Moreover, His Holiness teaches his followers magnificent abilities that can aid both the common cause and the well-being of the region itself. Our ultimate goal is to restore prosperity to Tezoth and put an end to the lawlessness of the proud, who have long forgotten to whom and for what they are indebted. The rebels and liars who have imagined themselves masters of others' fates.

Deus is great! Join us! We have Sith cookies!

Kaleido Cartridge met his knight, as in most other cases, inside his study — he was the kind of man who disliked wasting time, especially on hierarchical rituals. Today, besides himself, another person was present in the room.

- Alaria, this is Sir Noxis. As of recently, he has agreed to bolster the combat capability of our forces with his presence.
- I am most grateful for the opportunity to meet you, my lady. Though I am not a noble knight of Tezoth, to the best of my modest abilities I shall strive not to disgrace the honor entrusted to me.

/ So now I have to generate 5 templates, I guess...

You can generate one template for all towns...

Revan, how many knights does Silverdawn have at the moment? Or is it right at the limit?

Is the beautiful sister of Noxis with him, or did he finally tire of incest and abandon her in Ikazkan?

/ familiar nickname

At the limit.

- That makes sense, especially if some foul creature from Albus reaches the reservoir and starts terrorizing the fishermen, but Guildaria, hmm... Perhaps it's a stroke of luck that His Genius is underground now, otherwise a year later we might not be subjects of Tezoth anymore.
The fighter who could use a breath of freedom watched the handshake of the two knights with a certain sadness in his gaze.
"Both with tons of stats, cool epics in their gear, good-looking, eloquent, with vast life experience, surely successful with women, looking proudly and fearlessly toward tomorrow... How can one not fall into despair, eh."
- That's a promise, my Lord Lester. — Bow winked at Dagger. — If you get the chance, tell Sky that he can trust his back to my arrows. Let what happened at the competitions stay there.

Ah, I was about to jokingly praise his name, like "night" and all that, but after your comments I realized the guy is literally called Siskon. I hope this one turns out no worse than Ifeon.

Ah, you went and spoiled it for the person.

He's a normal guy, it's just that his sister loves him very much.

When I was glad that I wouldn't have to dive into a new confusing mechanic, and then they reminded me that I now have a second character and I'm still responsible for the faction.

It's funny that there's only one diplomat in Gildaria.

This phase of the game will last until peace is achieved in Tezoth.
The mechanic is fairly simple, though it may not seem so at first.
- Factions take actions turn by turn according to the list.
- A faction's policy is directed by the highest-ranking figure in its hierarchy, but actions are delegated to the player (if present).
- Each figure and each city has one action per turn. These can be spent on their unique actions as well as on events that may occur during their faction's turn.
- Gold can be spent on diplomacy and purchasing goods from merchants or other factions.
- The results of diplomacy are determined through RP.
- If you send a character to an unfriendly region, you may lose them.
- Movement of units is only allowed along roads, and they can act either on the cell they currently occupy or an adjacent one.
- A defensive action is taken during another faction's turn and does not cost an action, nor does it require a commander's presence in the unit. An offensive action requires a commander in the unit.
- If there is no defending faction's unit in a city or an adjacent city, the attackers win automatically.
- After capturing a city, it becomes incapacitated for 5 turns.
- Cost of one unit: construction requires equipment equal to the number of items in the template's inventory, plus an expenditure of +0.4 gold per turn for each skill the unit has learned.
- Ships are used exclusively for transporting units by sea (1 ship = 1 unit, 1 turn = nearest port).
- Changing the template dismisses already recruited units.
