I have decided to tell you guys who I am to ally with and why.
Allies I already have
The only armies allied to the humans of Araby are the High Elves of Ulthuan and the Dwarves of World's Edge Mountains. I have decided that while these two groups have been very consistent allies to my Warhammer World People, just the two of them will not be enough for Araby's future success. These two need to share with others a common purpose of helping my Grand Caliphate. Here's why (and each reason starts by naming out a faction I look upon as an enemy)
- Dark Elves are constantly raiding the coast of Araby, and have none of the moral decency that even people-owning Arabyans have
- Skaven (people-like rats) were incited by an illegitimate "Sultan" to help plunge all of Humanity (including Araby) into Chaos, who in turn persuaded him to attack Brettonia and the Empire relentlessly (causing hostility between these two and Araby)
- Animate Skeletons from the Land of the Dead once haunted and even waged war on Araby because they physically could
- Vampires (medieval military versions of the 30 Days of Night kind, not any of the old or nostalgic kinds) attacked Araby out of hunger for raw muscle and thirst for blood at least twice
- Chaos Warriors & Chaos Daemons assaulted Araby quite a few times apiece, and I suspect they will try my Warhammer World people again.
- The Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins) attacked Araby so many times that it go to the point of High Elves and Dwarves needing to band together with the Humans of Araby to give the Greenskins a taste of their own medicine!
Intended Allies among the official armies
- Wood Elves
- Lizardmen (managed to secure alliance with these dudes already) :-D
- Empire (hopefully we can make amends)
- Bretonnia (hopefully we can make amends)
Intended Allies among the unofficial armies
- Albion (basically the Celts of Warhammer World, which makes these guys the Warhammer Fantasy World equivalent to my ancient world ancestors)
- Cathay (these guys are like the Ming Dynasty of Warhammer World, making them very versatile)
- Nippon (the Samurai of Warhammer World, these people are insane in the best possible context as well, being technologically similar to the Cathayans)
- Kingdoms of Ind (these guys are to Warhammer World as the Rajput armies of India were to the real world, making them quite the people to look to for alliance against the Ogre Kingdoms)
- Norse (these guys remind me so much of Skyrim and are so awesome all by themselves [Mammoths with howdahs for example] I just have to ally with them)
The total
I shall have eleven allies when I go to do Warhammer Fantasy stuff at events like Connecticon and at simple Gaming Events (hosted by me or by another fan-class gamer, NOT anything like "Games Day (insert year here)" or anything Games Workshop-hosted. So yes, once I secure all those alliances and pressure to make happen all of the peace agreements that need to be made, THEN the People of Araby can be certain they are well-supported!
