    Hi
    I am quite interested in joining a game here, I have been playing similar games in other forums but just now I discovered there is a similar community in TWC, so is there any game taking new guys?

    Hi Soulstrider! Welcome

    Take a look here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=432420

    This is our current headline game, and it has just started, so you'll be starting on pretty much the same basis as the rest of us regulars!

    There is something I just don't understand about IH games. I had the same problem with the Alliance games in the other board. To community tend to be quite tight nit, the same players playing the newer games, and the same players producing them. Every now and then new players arrive but the learning curve is a hard one. Why? because nothing is ever fully explained. The regulars all know the ropes and the mods don't really see the need to express some of the basic points because their target audience already knows them. I will admit, some of these things are pretty straight forward, but everynow and then you get a new player (or sometimes a regular) misinterpreting the rules and causing problems.

    An example from the last Alliance game I played.

    Everyone knows it takes 1 days to move from province to province. That is a given in every game I have played, but what happens when you cancel that move? There was a huge argument about whether the move was reset or the players army had to march all the way back to the province. It was perhaps a bit more complicated than that, but that is the basic jist.

    I guess what gets to me is that often new players fall foul of these games because they misinterpret rules that are unintentionally vague (because it is expected that these rules are obvious) and regular players jump on them for it. Although the IH are better than the Alliance game for this kind of thing thanks to Warluster's threads.

    We have no issues with teaching new players. I, for one, love new players coming aboard. Its a breath of fresh air to have some new personalities (and the strategies that come with them) come into IH. I'm happy to explain anything to anyone who has genuine interest in learning!

    What I have issues with is new people showing up, and lambasting the games and hosts when their favorite faction is, in their opinion, "misrepresented". We are a tight-knit group, as you acknowledged, but not to the point of exclusivity or elitism. However, if someone is going to waltz in here and cry foul before they've even attempted to play an IH, then we're going to run into issues.

    If you won't mind my asking a few things about this map, what do the blue lines signify, and where am I allowed to deploy my men?

    Sorry meant to say that you could deploy anywhere south of the river outside the walls. and Fred is correct, I was highlighting the river with the blue lines.

    Sorry for the double post, But I am planning to update the colonial maps. Can everyone tell me who has colonies and who doesn't. I mean newly established ones obviously. The only one in existence is the Spanish in Africa. Though I am sure efforts to colonise Madagascar and S. Africa were made.

    I think Wales and Cornwall are supposed to be Royalist as well, unless Parliament occupied those provinces, which is a possibility (I've been relatively absent lately).

    you could or you could sit and besiege it and bring up more troops.

    Its starting to get to me that even after tripling the size of my country I am still making less than a quarter of what other nations make financially.

    It's mostly because many of the other nations are still quite a bit bigger, or have quite a few colonies. I'm surprised you haven't tried to colonise yet.

    Well see I thought you have to deal with natives etc. For example, Aggy has thousands of tribesmen attacking his lands, but he has just kinda ignored them. I already am busy with my armies in germany and I don't have the money to send an army to protect colonies.
