Description
The Great Balkan War was a regional war originating in the Balkans, eventually pulling in other nations worldwide, making it a global war. The war began when heat1804, the leader of Romania, attacked and killed Phillybob777, the soon-to-be Augustus of Byzantium, outside of Constantinople, in a plan to uproot Byzantium in the Balkans with Kaiser Rulerultamisjr of Austria Hungary. Immediately after, Romania and Austria-Hungary both declared war on Byzantium with no apparent casus belli. By declaring war on Byzantium, Austria-Hungary violated the Intermarium Alliance, in which both of the nations were member states. Following this declaration of war, Magenent decided to spectate the battle, but this was interrupted by a MinskanRus volunteer (DethLogik) trying to kill Magenent, this caused Norge and Denmark to join the war against Austria-Hunary, Romania and Greater_Moravia. Bulgaria and Minskanrus declare neutrality, though a few Minskan troops decided to aid Austria-Hungary and Romania. Already being hostile against Byzantium, Greater_Moravia joined the war as an ally of Romania and Austria-Hungary. As the neighboring Balkan nations were mobilizing their armies, more nations came to the aide of Byzantium. Brazil, Carolinga, Tunisia, Denmark, and Norge joined against the Romanian/Austria-Hungarian/Moravian coalition. The war had gone global at this point, sourcing many troops from all around into Byzantium's capital during the Battle of Constantiople. The Turkish_Republic came to help the defenders near the conclusion of the battle. On the second day of the conflict, ISIS joined in as a third party purely looking for blood, while Spain and Australia later decided to go against Byzantium, announcing it each on their discord servers.
Motivations and Events Leading up to the War
The war was first planned by Austria Hungary, due to conflicts with borders from Byzantium's colonization of Bosnia and Dalmatia, which both nations were interested in occupying. Diplomacy was attempted between Justinian of Byzantium, and Kaiser Rulerultamisjr of Austria Hungary. Austria Hungary was left displeased with the Justinian's offers over borders, and felt increasingly threatened with more and more towns being planted in Bosnia by Byzantium, which continued to raise tensions between the nations. During this spree of colonization, the town of Mostar was placed over the Austro Hungarian Adriatic Railway, and the people of Mostar built a pitfall trap griefing the rail. This event was considered to be last straw for Austria Hungary, leaving the Kaiser convinced that he had to go to war. Before the actual war was declared, Austria Hungary approached Romania, knowing how much they hate Byzantium, and Greater Moravia, as they were already at war, leading to the formation of their coalition. The deal made with Romania was that they would get to take the Aegyssus Swamps after the war. Austria Hungary also took in Byzantine outlaw, and former West Roman, Marcellus Imperator, who was used to raid small Byzantine towns prior to the full invasion.
Battles
As the war is still going on, the current list of battles represent the ones that have occurred thus-far.
Battle of Constantinople
The battle of Constantinople was fought in an unclaimed area between Constantinople and Turnovo. The fight started with roughly a 15v10 in Austria-Hungary and Romania's favor, and they temporarily took the field, but after regrouping and recruiting more troops from various countries, the Byzantines marched in with about 20-25 troops and took the battlefield, driving their opponents back into a small tunnel area on the Bulgarian side. In the end, the battle itself was ceased when Magenent blew up heat1804 and DethLogik with an end crystal.
After getting two of their generals blown up, and with supplies running low, the Austro-Hungarians and Romanians
retreated and left the battlefield, leaving the Byzantine troops to declare victory over the battle. Most casaulties were from the Austria-Hungary and Romanian sides, with some casualties amongst the Byzantines, and Bulgarian 'field medics' being killed by Byzantine troops, and armor-less spectators.
Explosives were a primary attack used in the battle, allowing the Byzantines to get some kills, while also accidentally harming some Bulgarians in some of the explosions.
Siege of Bucharest
The Siege of Bucharest happened roughly 10-15 minutes after the end of the Battle of Constantinople, which after regrouping and discussing, about 20 or so Byzantines marched forth to Bucharest, led by YellowVictini, and laid siege on the areas around the town, using dirt to build signs like 'LOL' and 'HEAT GAY', as heat hid in his house in Bucharest, having only pants and boots left out of his equipment. The troops left after approximately 10-15 minutes, pursuing Marcellus, the Byzantine traitor.
Siege of Ram_RanchII
After his realization of his being chased, Marcellus teleported back to his house in Ram_RanchII, leading the Byzantine troops to go there, and lay siege upon the town for Marcellus' cowering. After seeing the two dozen or so troops, he blockaded himself in his house, while the Byzantines messed around his house, and eventually took victory screenshots in front of his house, with a dirt sign saying 'BIG GAY' in the background as to mock Marcellus. Whilst taking the screenshots, DethLogik attempted to blow up the troops, but failed after being spotted.
After the siege, victory for the day was announced just prior to 5pm EST, and a small victory party was held at the Hippodrome at Constantinople
Attack at Myrmidones
Some time around noon of the next day (America time), Marcellus led Austro Hungarian troops (5-8) to the Byzantine city of Myrmidones, but was quickly approached by many Byzantine troops. Most of Marcellus' troops logged and left.
Byzantine Skirmish with ISIS
Later that day, soon after the Coronation of Justinian as the new leader of Byzantium, a small skirmish happened within the Byzantine walls in a small patch of wilderness, mostly between a few ISIS troops, MLGTerra, watergod and Proda and everyone at the coronation. There was a few casualties on the Byzantine side, while MLGTerra, watergod and Proda (ISIS) /t spawned when they ran out of potions.
Second Battle of Constantinople
Soon after, another battle broke out between the Austro-Hungarian/Romanians and Byzantines at the same place as the last battle. This time, however, there was a small medic station at the west end of the battlefield, where the medics seem to be more or less supportive of the Byzantines, initially the battle started out with a small force, around 4 Austro Hungarians and Romanians. Though as the battle went on, more troops from Austria Hungary joined in leading to a regrouping, while at the same time Magenent and 4noah18 joined on the Byzantine side, after the Byzantines began
suffering major losses, this brought new balance to the battlefield, leading to a near stalemate. Shortly after this, ISIS joined in the fight alongside Canadian Proda and New Zealander CuttleFishNZ, ISIS appeared as a third party, killing everyone in the area, mostly Byzantines. During the peak of the battle, a massive amount of TNT was used, leading to massive losses on the Byzantine side. After around an hour of fighting, the Byzantines fell back, and left the battlefield, after suffering major losses, leading to an 'ISIS victory' being declared, and the battlefield being left scarred by the massive amounts of griefs.
