Treaty of the Old Gods (Osiris-Balder)

Post by Lord Ravenclaw »

The King of Balder and I have been in contact over reconfirming the Balder-Osiris alliance and becoming a joint Imperialist power in our own right.

My time is limited to write about this, and I would invite you to read the treaty and judge it on its merits.

Cautiously supportive. What is the ISRA going to be like? If it is going to be a big organization like the UIAF, I am skeptical as to whether our logistics can handle that.

Obviously support as well.

I imagine it will work in a similar way to the UIAF with the two existing militaries forming more or less two regiments within the larger whole. It is best to keep the regional troops and commands in their home regions rather than setting up something different on a new forum to give commands given soldiers will be less likely to check that promptly. Of course, exact structure will be up to the Joint Commander but logistically it shouldn't too much different below command and strategy level than what exists currently.

Got some minor technical amendments before we go to vote, will post final version tomorrow.

Regarding WW's comment about whether our logistics can "handle" ISRA - I would highlight that one of the major advantages in combining our military's is efficiency in the command structure. A combined military actually helps our logistics.

Yes, that makes some sense. The problem, though, is that Osiris and Balder are not (unlike many members of the UIAF) primarily constructed of individuals dedicated to military gameplay, so I do not know that we would have the military activity levels/numbers necessary to be classified as a world power. That said, this treaty is a good idea, so long as the joint commander is an experienced commander.
