It is said that the only beings the Emperor can trust are the diamond dogs of Bronzehill. In 792, Emperor Grover II granted the Bronze Mountains to a group of ex-slaves fleeing Diamond Mountain. Since then, the County of Bronzehill has grown and prospered as a loyal subject of the Empire. However, the collapse of the Empire and the republican uprisings of 978 have taken a toll on its economy, which finds itself more and more in the claws of foreign investors. Resulting tensions have led to more and more dogs questioning the absolute rule of the count. With the health of Grover V rapidly declining, the hounds of Bronzehill are anxious for what the future might hold.
Lore
In 792, the ancestors of the dogs of Bronzehill came as refugees from the Diamond Mountain, making the arduous trek seeking freedom from slavery. In his mercy, Emperor Grover II granted the mountains north of Griffenheim as their new homeland, allowing them to settle and prosper. There, they founded city of Bronzekreuz on the slopes of the Bronzehill, which gave the name to their country.
Since then, the hounds of Bronzehill have been fiercely loyal to the Griffonian emperors, serving faithfully and diligently as guards and advisors to the imperial dynasty.
The mountains contain vast wealth and resources that have helped Bronzehill and Griffenheim grow. However, when the Industrialization reached the Heartlands, the influence of investors from outside Bronzehill started to grow, while Bronzehill became ever more entangled in the Imperial trade networks. As trade declined after the revolution of 978, this led to a steep decline in contracts for steel mills of Bronzehill, which gave rise to a wave of poverty and stagnation. The way out of the crisis is hotly debated in the political circles, with some claiming Bronzehill needs to nationalize its industry, while others putting hope in attracting even more investment.
As part of the Imperial Heartlands, Bronzehill is bordered by friendly regimes and united under Imperial Protection as a vassal state. With the Imperial Capital to the south, Strawberry Duchy and the Sunstriker Clan to the west and north, and the Knights of Hellquill to the east, the threat of the tyrannical Diamond Mountain and its allies in the River Coalition seems far away. This has both been a blessing and a curse. The years of stability and protection have resulted in Bronzehill having little military to speak of, with an ethos of stern pacifism being part of Bronzehill's founding culture after the great trek.
The main political issue facing Bronzehill is that of the future Imperial throne. It is no secret that Grover V's health is beginning to falter, and in the event of his premature death, their would-be conflict over the regency of his son, the future Grover VI. As to who the regent will be, only time will tell, and with the deep divisions growing between the Griffonian nobility and the temples, the regent choice will be unlikely to please everyone. Either way, the death of an Emperor is always a traumatic event for the dogs of Bronzehill and will cause severe distress among its citizens.
Count Ignatius Bronzetail has ruled Bronzehill since the death of his father George in 997. He is popular and well liked, however he has yet to have been tested like his father was in the Empire's collapse and the Republican Uprising of 978. Bronzehill's political landscape is otherwise being defined by three political parties. While there is no national parliament, ever since the Georgian reforms in 983, major cities have been granted self-rule under elected city councils. The three parties are Winston Copperhill's Harmonic-Conservative Party, Rufus Loudbark's National Union and Rosey Softfur's Socialist Party of Bronzehill. While their influence in Bronzehill remains limited so far, in case of a national emergency the Count is expected to call the Bronzehill Council, an advisory committee aimed to unify the political landscape and solve the crisis. However, should the council be called, there is an open question if the political leaders would dare to challenge Ignatius, and what would come out of it.
With uncertainty on the horizon, only time will tell what the future of Bronzehill will hold.
Starting Situation
Give us an overview of the things you need to consider starting out - what are the good and bad things, what directions could you take, etc.
Military
The Bronzehill Army stars with four divisions, which consist of three Royal Defence Divisions consisting of six infantry batallions with support from engineers and artillery. All three are at Experience Level 11 (Regular). An elite Ironpaw division consisting of six ironpaw batallions and support from engineers and artillery is also avaiable at Level 13 with 22% of the experience required to reach Level 14. All divisions are fully equipped at the start, but with practically no surplus of equipment
Threats and Opportunities

Gameplay Mechanics
(OPTIONAL)
National Focus
Your focus tree consists of three parts, economic, military, and political.
Economic and military trees are mostly identical between different paths. They both expand after taking control of Griffenheim and becoming the Empire's successor. Until Grover V dies, all you can do are a couple of focuses from the economic tree.
Your first important political choice comes after the focus Barnaby's Ideas, where you must decide whether you want Rosey Softfur on the council. Accepting her will allow you to embark on her path later on, but it's a good idea to do so even if you intend to play as Barnaby or Loudbark. If she is refused, Barker Steelpaw will become the new leader of the communist party. His policies are more radical, which may have negative consequences later on.
Eventually, you are faced with a choice:
- In the path on the left, the count vetoes the council's decision, and proceeds with his original plan. If the Empire chose Gabriela as the regent, your only choice is to stay a loyal puppet, possibly for the rest of the game, while you assist her with whatever goals she pursuits. However, if they chose the Archon, you have the choice to either support his regency, which has similar consequences, or try to overthrow him with the help of Strawberry Duchy in order to install Gabriela as the regent.
- In the path on the right, you go along with the council's decision to try to become the regents. The availability of this route is not affected by choices of the empire or any other country. After around 200 days, consisting of various events and a few optional decisions, a new leader shall emerge. If Rosey was rejected and Barker's influence reaches 50, he will coup the government.
The tree expands when you conquer Griffenheim and take the appropriate decision. Before Ignatius can take it, he has to decide through an event whether he wants to continue as planned, and hand regency over to Gabriela, or become the regent instead. The latter may anger Strawberry. If they are stronger than you, it will always lead to a war. If you are twice as strong as them, they will submit. Otherwise it's random.
When Grover VI reaches adulthood in mid-1021, you lose access to your regency political tree. You are still able to core any nations that you would normally be able to through those focuses, but you might have to justify manually if you were late. It is instead replaced by a short Grover VI's tree. It is not quite as big as a comparable student protests tree for the Empire, but each possible regent has their own slightly different tree.
In terms of territorial expansion, all non-puppet paths get a more or less similar experience to a regular Griffonian Empire, unifying all griffon nations on the continent under one banner. One important difference is that Diamond Mountain, the other Diamond Dog country, is also on the list, which is likely to put you in a confrontation with the River Coalition.
In addition to the above, there are two semi-secret paths for Bronzehill, each one relying on other countries taking certain paths.
If Yale resurrects Grover II, you will get the event where you will be able to become their puppet. This completely replaces your political focus tree with a very short one, with no unique events to speak of. Alternatively, you can refuse the demand and continue on a regular path as normal. AI-controlled Bronzehill always chooses to become a puppet in this situation.
Finally, if Grover VI is killed by Ferdinand Dawnclaw, Ignatius will die from the stroke, and his son Barnaby will form the Council of Six, which includes notable political figures from various other paths, who put aside their differences to exact revenge on those who committed such heinous act. Just like in Ignatius' path, if you get Griffenheim, you will get the option to either accept Gabriela from Strawberry as the new Empress, or claim the title of "regent" for yourself. The latter, too, ultimately leads you to conquering the griffon part of Griffonia and Diamond Mountain.

Imperial Owned Industry
- Political Power Gain: -20%
- Resources to Market: +15.00%
- ( The Griffonian Empire)Civilian Industry to target country: +10.00%
- ( The Griffonian Empire)Extra trade to target: +50.00%
- ( The Griffonian Empire)Target country trade cost: -80.00%
Many griffons in Griffenheim have invested in Bronzehill, leaving very few local-owned mines, farms and factories. While this has helped develop Bronzehill's industrial capabilities, it has caused worry among locals who fear for their County's stability and sovereignty. The issue will have to be addressed in some form, lest the whole nation ends up in the ownership of foreigners.
Pacifism
- Recruitable Population Factor: -20%
- War Support: -20.00%
Many of the nation's dog population can track their descent from escaped slaves, that fled from the cruelty of their eastern cousins in Diamond Mountain. The Grover dynasty has accepted them with open claws, and while they are fierce defenders of the Emperor, they prefer to solve their issues with a peaceful and logical method.
The Socialist Laws
- Daily Political Power Gain: +0.05
- Stability: -5.00%
- Factory Output: -5.00%
- Dockyard Output: -5.00%
While the Socialist Party of Bronzehill (SPB) is not outright banned, the Count has introduced various laws regarding "riotous" or "seditious" behaviour to target the socialist movement. Under these laws, most writings from socialist authors are banned, including from the leaders of the SPB, and a number of organizations with links to the SPB have been outlawed. These measures have become known as the "Socialist Laws". Despite these efforts however, the SPB seems to only grow in strength...

Grey Hound of Bronzekreuz
|
Born: 14th December 965, Sandstone House, Bronzehill
Biography: Count Ignatius has ruled Bronzehill since the death of his father Count Georgie in 997. When he was five years old, he travelled to the Imperial City to see Grover V's coronation and was enamoured by the splendour. He returned to the city many times, becoming a close friend to the Emperor. In 978, he married Lady Izzy Gems, which whom he has had one pup, Barnaby. During his rule he has been a competent administrator and a beloved defender of Bronzehill and the Emperor, however his policies on supporting griffon industry over Bronzehill's own has led to pushback from Bronzehill's burgeoning political scene. And while he has the full support of the aristocracy and the clergy, there are those who question his ability to lead effectively should Bronzehill be faced by a disaster such as the republican uprising during his father's reign.

Stubborn Bulldog
|
Born: 30th November, 945 in Bellheim Estate, Bronzehill.
Former Rank: Oberst, Seiner Kaiserlichen Majestät 3. Husaren-Regiment. Biography: Winston Copperhill is first pup of Lord Archer Copperhill and a member of the old and prestigious Copperhill family, which can date its origins back to the original founders of the county. He grew up as a member of Bronzehill's elite during the peaceful reign of Emperor Grover IV. As one of the few diamond dogs who went to the military academy in Helheim, he was commissioned as a Leutnant in 966. After a time as a member of the Imperial Guard, he was granted a seat on the Bronzehill Council when it met in 984 to promulgate the Georigian reforms, which he had supported greatly. His political stances where often controversial within his circles, particularly his desire for social reform and his support of local Bronzehill businesses over Imperial ones. He was a founding member of the Harmonic Conservative Party and sought to bring greater representation of the common hound into the government of Bronzehill. During the republican uprising he was promoted to Oberst, although did not participate in the fighting. The event however convinced him that more than ever social reform and a new outlook for the Empire were needed. While controversial among his fellow nobles, his stubbornness and oratory talent have kept him at the forefront of politics. Portrait By: Flake |

Socialist Theorist
|
Born: 5th March 961, Pfotenhausen, Bronzehill.
Biography: Rosey Softfur was born in Pfotenhausen as sixth and youngest pup of wood trader Matthey Softfur. Her family had mainline monarchist political beliefs and promoted a universal education, with her learning literature from an early age. In her youth, she saw the brutal exploitation and horrors capitalism and feudalism brought. She came to hate the tyrants, and in her young adulthood she wrote polemic after polemic against them, calling for their violent overthrow and for them to face the workers' justice - but never the Emperor. To her, the Emperor was a good griff misled by wicked advisors about the true state of his Empire, and if he found out he'd execute them all on the spot. Her father used his modest prosperity to enable Rosey and her five brothers to study in the prestigious universities of southern Herzland, where she enrolled to study economics, engineering, sociology and biology. During her studies, she learned more of the deep relationship between the Emperor and his nobility, and suffered a brief crisis of faith. As she grappled with the fact that the Emperor was simply the noble-in-chief, she came to moderate her positions. Still a socialist, she now promoted the thought that old institutions could be kept as figureheads, something that she called "institutional continuity". To help her fellow comrades, she decided to switch to study law. Back in Bronzehill, she was a founding member of the Socialist Party, becoming its second chairdog after August Barken. Among fellow socialists, her pro-monarchy views are a continuous topic of controversy. However, few griffons and dogs of Herzland can deny her commitment to the workers' movement, democratic reform and socialist theory. Portrait by: BunnyShrubby |

Militarist
|
Born: 15th June 977, Bronzelöwe, Bronzehill.
Rank: Unterwachtmeister, Artillerie-Regiment Bronzekreuz, 1. Gräflich-Bronzehügelsche Garde Division. Biography: Rufus Loudbark was born as son of peasant farmers in a small village. Being the third son out of four, he pursued a career in the military. He was accepted into the Guards, the elite unite of Bronzehill, initially as an infanterist. After five years, he was transferred to the artillerists and got a promotion, but only to Unterwachtmeister. During his time in the military, Loudbark joined the National Union, which was initially mostly aimed at soldiers. He quickly rose through the party ranks due to his oratory skill. After becoming its chairdog in 1004, he has extended the party's platform and promoted the populist Lassie Goldcoat to be his deputy, appealing also to rural and nationalist dogs. Now that Loudbark has taken power, an strong emphasis of the military can be expected, but Loudbark has also not forgotten his early years. Portrait by: Duke Von Kessel |

Young Count
|
Born: 14th August 985, Karfeuer, Bronzekreuz, Bronzehill.
Biography: Count Barnaby is the oldest pup of Count Ignatius and late Countess Izzy Gems. Born shortly after his parent's marriage, he got the best education available in Bronzehill. During his puphood, he came into contact with Lord Winston Copperhill, who was a friend of his mother, and started to share the ideals of harmony and democracy from the "old reformer". With the death of Count Georgie in 997 he became crown prince, and his father started to integrate him more into political decision making, no doubt to bring the Prince's political ideas more in line with the established political system of Bronzehill. However, Barnaby's idealism was unfazed, and over time he became a renowned supporter of the HKP, despite, due to his political status, never becoming a member. When Winston Copperhill became chancellor at the Bronzehill Council's advice – in no small part due to Barnaby's support – Ignatius decided to abdicate in favour of his son, making the former prince the new count. Some have interpreted this as Copperhill becoming the grey eminence of government, but others claim that the "young reformer" is outgrowing his former mentor. Only time will tell who is right...

Champion Of The Great Leader
|
Born: 15th April 973, Kaza-Narag, Bronzehill.
Biography: Barker 'Coalnose' Steelpaw was born in the poor coal-mining village of Kaza-Narag (literally "Black Cave"). His village was Dogish-speaking, something which is looked down upon in wider Bronzehill, and he recieved only token education as a pup. At the age of 14 years, he started to work in the coal mines, where he got his nickname. There, he also formulated his ideology, based on a combination of Bronzehillian folk stories and communist agitation which had spread into the mines. After joining an underground trade union, he learned to read and write in secret, while also becoming a local agitator and organizator. Steelpaws political believes, especially with respect to the Griffonstone dynasty, are controversial among not only the wider socialist community (which rejects many of his views outright), but even inside of the Socialist Party of Bronzehill. However, through dedication and hard work, he has won his place in the party - and after overthrowing the "liberal" Softfur, he can finally put his theory into practice. Portrait by BunnyShrubby |

Born: 5th April 952, Rottendedam, Feathisia. Biography: Max Goudtand was born to a diamond dog family in Rottendedam, where his father worked as overseer in a shipyard. Due to the families good income, Goudtand could study economics. At age 25, he decided to go to Bronzehill and opened an iron mine. As his business was quite successful, he started to invest also in the refining industry. The "Hüttenwerke Goudtand" grew from there, eventually becoming the largest ore mining business in the whole country. His success has earned him both friends and enemies, as many dogs still see him as an "outsider", and despite being a dog some see him barely better than the usual businessgriff. However, by now he has lived in Bronzehill for more than 20 years, trying his best to integrate into the local culture. And his business is one of the main investors in the Grover V Industrial Park - as he claims, to reserve it for a Bronzehillian business. |

Born: 14th May 955, Bronzekreuz, Bronzehill Biography: Gunther Blackwing was born to a noble family in Bronzekreuz, one of the old griffon families that predate the founding of Bronzehill. He joined the army at age 18, and five years into his service saw the horrors of the revolution. Fighting for the monarchy across the Herzland left him as a changed griff, and since then, he sees his homeland as the only lands truly loyal to the Emperor. His noble attitude disappeared, and he instead argues that the dogs and griffons of Bronzehill, regardless of origin, need to work together to support the Emperor. After twenty years as army commander, he switched to work in the military administration, where he quickly gained a reputation as an effective organizer. He has for a long time called for an increase in Bronzehill's military budget, seeing the nation as woefully unprepared for war. Only time will tell if he can get the opportunity to fix it. |

Born: 25th March 955, Hundsfeld, Bronzehill
Biography: Roger Bloodhound was born in Hundsfeld, into a family with a long tradition of service in the Bronzehill Police. He, as well as his two siblings, all joined the police, where he quickly got a reputation of "getting stuff done". However, his approaches have not always been conventional. While he is a skilled investigator, giving honour to his family name, the operations that he commanded where often done with an unusual amount of force. But in these operations he also showed a great deal of personal courage that has earned him the respect of his fellow policedogs. Rising through the carrier ladder, he has now found himself to be the chief of the entire police, a job which he fulfils proudly. Despite that, he is not overly attached to the court in Bronzekreuz – while he receives little love from the socialists he helped oppress for such a long time, he has never personally spoken out against them, and only fulfilled the orders he was given, or so he tells.

They were once granted the exclusive right to burn charcoal in the area around Crona, which made them incredibly rich. While their monopoly has long been abolished, their family wealth persists as they have invested in various businesses across Herzland. Gotthilf himself studied engineering, and since then has jumped between various positions in the Imperial bureaucracy and his families industries. In 1005, he took the job as manager of the Grover V Industrial Park, overseeing its construction, along with managing the investments into the park. To no surprise, he also personally owns some shares in the park. With this, he has grown to become the embodiment of the foreign businessgriff trying to take advantage of Bronzehill – an accusation that he very much denies, claiming to only work for the good of everydog. |

Born: 12th February 973, Diamond Mountain, Kingdom of Diamond Mountain Biography: Lassie Goldcoat is known mostly in the circles surrounding the National Union, being very much a backrooms advisor of Rufus Loudbark. But those close to Loudbark know just how much he relies on this escaped slave. Born in Diamond Mountain in the year of the Great Sack, Lassie's family suffered the worst of the slave mountain's society. Lassie remembers well how often her family struggled to find food, or the amount of times she worried she wouldn't make it to see another day. However, much quickly changed for Lassie and her family. When she was 14, the Goldcoat family managed to escape from Diamond Mountain, fleeing, as so many did, to Bronzehill. There Lassie found an accepting and free society, and as so many Diamond Dogs, she, as well as her family, ascribed her freedom to the Grover Dynasty, and celebrated them as bringers of liberation for building this land of free Dogs. Years later, Lassie would join the Bronzehill army, she would not fight in the revolution, as that had come and gone by the time she arrived in the Empire, but she would fall in with The Union Of Guardists, an organization that would later join the wider National Union. Here, Lassie met Loudbark, originally assigned to the future party leader as an assistant and bodyguard, the two would become increasingly close over the years, with Goldcoat serving as the threatening shadow over Loudbark's shoulder. |

Born: 13th August 961, Ravensburg, Bronzehill. Biography: Carlo Redpen was born in a middle class family, with his mother being a bookseller and his father working as teacher. His mother trained him in the family business, but in the aftermath of the revolution, sales in books went down and the store was closed. Instead, he decided to become a lawyer, but due to the families limited money, he couldn't go to the famous universities in Yale. As Bronzehill hadn't institutions of higher education, Redpen moved first to Mirabelle and later to Griffenheim, were he got his law diploma. Upon his return to Bronzehill, he joined the administration as court clerk and later public prosecutor. However, due to disagreements with the socialist laws he had to enforce, he decided to become a freelancing lawyer, defending various socialists in court. Consequently, he also joined the SPB, eventually becoming a friend of the rising star Rosey Softfur. While his knowledge of the laws is unparalleled, he hasn't published so much on socialist theory. This has certainly limited his career in the party, but has also led to him being seeing a balancing force in the frequent ideological battles.Portrait By: Riley |

Born: 3rd January, 954 in Pawdorf, Bronzehill. Biography: Clement Attaboy was born as son of a lawyer in the small town of Pawdorf near Bellen. He studied law himself in Griffenheim and entered his father's office. As he saw the plight of the dogs working in the fields and factories, he decided to join the HKP in the hopes that this would be an avenue for social reform. Here, he befriended Winston Copperhill, and as Copperhill became leader of the party, he promoted his friend to various important party positions. In 989, Attaboy got his first elected office as councillor in Bellen, before getting elected to the larger and more important city council of Bronzekreuz in 1003. This finally gave Copperhill the opportunity to make his loyal follower the vice-chairdog of the HKP. Here, he represents the left wing of the party, which makes him not particularly popular with the nobles, but swayed some moderate socialists away from the SPB.Portrait By: Kajko |

Born: 19th February 974, Greengate, Yale
Biography: Laika Barker was born to a wealthy family from Bronzehill. Her mother worked as research assistant in Greengate, which perhaps explains her early enthusiasm about engineering. The family moved back to Bronzekreuz in 982, as her mother was invited advise the counts on aviation matters. She and her brother Richard both followed in her mother's pawsteps and studied engineering in Greengate, but while her brother pursuit a military carrier, she focused on the newly arising rocket technologies. After getting an engineering degree, she was given a research grant from the Bronzekreuz court, which she used to further her knowledge of rocketry. While she has now offered to advise the government in military technology, her true commitment is still to space science. As she says herself, she dreams of being the first dog to travel in space.

Born: 25th December 975, Greengate, Yale
Biography: Richard Barker was born to a wealthy family from Bronzehill. His mother worked as research assistant in Greengate, leading to him and his sister Laika being interested in engineering from an early age. The family moved back to Bronzekreuz in 982, when his mother was invited to advise the count on matters of aviation. Richard and his sister followed in their mother's pawsteps to study engineering in Greengate. While his sister went on to focus on rocketry, Richard instead stayed in aviation, eventually leaving Greengate to instead study in the military academy of Helheim. Here, he became not only an enthusiastic pilot, but also got his engineering degree in aviation technology. He has long dreamed of building up an air force for Bronzehill. Now that his dream might have become a reality, he is eager to offer his services to the government, hoping to lead Bronzehill's adventures into aviation towards a great future. |

Born: 12th July 958, Meisenheim, Bronzehill
Biography: Born in 958 near the border of Bronzehill and the Strawberry Duchy, Rosalin Shorttail would make a name for herself within the military high command during the Republican Uprising of 978. A skirmish near the outskirts of Kloburg would see her rally the remnants of two decimated infantry squads, and lead them to successfully capture a Republican communications outpost. Since then she has preferred to lead from the front, as close to her soldiers as safety, and her fellow officers, will allow. While the revolution is now long over, Shorttail still tries to encourage fierce bravery among her soldiers that some would say borders on reckless. She insists, however, that such fierce determination will be needed when the time inevitably comes to retake the Duchy of Cloudbury. Portrait By: BunnyShrubby |
