The Order of the Lion

[Zig]

Speaking as a BAF Admiral and second in command.

First short critic: Please, think well before claiming discussion with "BAF representatives". Not everyone in the faction can be considered a representative. I know of noone who could claim that who was contacted. Banza isn't one. (Of course his opinion is valued)

Now for the more serious stuff... I don't say this as BAF official position either, I didn't have enough chance to discuss with the rest. Although it's probably as close as you can get at the moment.

I don't mind valiant Bretonian citizens taking arms and venturing to strike against the Corsairs. I'm not a blue-blood, like sir Roger, but I hold the Bretonian nobility in high esteem. The effort as a whole is a noble endeavour and has my sanction. (I just hope it will go as described by Zig)

About the Bretonian equipment. Having the former BAF officers bring their old Bretonian ships seems reasonable. Equipping others with Bretonian ships... I wouldn't go there yet. A Gunboat seems rather unreasonable. Bretonian guns shouldn't be a problem. All this is subject to negotiation.

Okay, sorry. I like and trust Banza and value his opinion, and I assumed what he said could count for the BAF as a whole for the moment. This is just our initial proposal, after all, and it'll probably be fine-tuned further. Glad you're basically okay with the idea; getting the other BAF to look in on this would be appreciated.

About the ships - yep, that seems to be a repeat concern. Darkflight just had an idea he told us about over Skype on how to deal with this - a good solution on how to deal with this might be to only let founding members have the option to use Bretonian equipment for the moment. After all, the footmen participating in the historical Crusades had to fend for themselves in terms of arms and armor to a good degree.

freelancers ided, bretonia armed forces tagged, bretonia armed forces ships with bretonia armed forces guns, fighting against enemy of bretonia armed forces...
i think BAF will be really happy for new members...
(i mean, you will make the same as they are trying... )

Not to sound like a prick, but you might actually want to read the faction document and understand what the Order's about before making a comment like that. Darkflight outlined the differences for you.
