Introduction: Attention all Youngbloods! You are here today to prove yourselves the best amongst the newcomers. Many of you will fall and only the strongest will survive. But you fight for Honor, Glory, Fame, and Power! Will you lead your empire into the canals of history or will your countrymen be ground into the dust by a foreign menace?
Map Boundaries
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
You may conquer regions outside the border but not sack/exterminate or keep them. Building rules still apply ofc, and you must not demand money from AI when gifting regions.
Change: Kiev and the neighbouring town are off limits unlike shown on this map
- Reloading turns is allowed (because it can't be banned) but not encouraged. There's no real prize. By reloading a player will deprive himself of the joy of surprise and unexpected events (even if negative). Reloading would increase the time to play a turn, and will thus make less joyful to play it. Since reloading is allowed ,Heroic victories are banned. So if you obtain one of them, you must reload until you get a different
type of result.
- Turns must be played within 24h, and player can get an 12h extension if asked(but it should be done only occasionally). The philosophy is to play fast, rather than spending hours on a turn.
- If player does not play his turn within 24h,and does not ask for extension he will be subbed.Constantly subbing needed player will be remove from the hotseat (if you have not time to play on a constant basis do not even bother joining. You'll waste yours and other players time).
- Notify next player who comes after your turn by post message or leaving message on message board!
Battle Rules:
- Armies that are defeated in battle by a player that comes after them in the turn list may not move the following turn. This is to make it fair for people who are defeated by players that come before them in the turn list.
- Its ALLOWED to use seige equipment to attack city straight away instead of waiting siege equipment to construct.Siege equipment must be shown on a battle proof image.
- All Player vs Player battles must be auto-resolved. Battles against AI can be played. Note: Screenshots are to be posted as evidence of auto-resolve.(The Odds and Results windows must not be edited in any way. Editing out Map info, Cash, and any Units/Agents/Regions not involved in the attack is fine).
Composition of the army must not be edited and being visible. Also it happened that numbers in the result of a battle did not match (number of soldiers - loss = men remaining). If something like what happened in this post: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...6#post10512526 (see ss 2 & 4) happens to you it mean one only thing: you either might have cheated or you have not a vanilla install and that cause a bug in the results. Either way it's your fault and you'll need to replay the battle until you get a clean result.
- No surrounding enemy armies with one or few units stack armies, solely to deny any survivors a retreat. Blocks of landbridges ,bridges or similar, to cut the retreat is allowed
if not in contact with the enemy army (which means the red zone around the enemy army)
-No attacking ships inside a port.You cannot leave a blocked port without fighting the enemy ships first. If a player keeps an army inside a fleet inside a port,
other players are allowed to attack that fleet even if it's inside a port (if you don't know how, ask Invicta).
-you can build only one fort per region max (it is meant per faction, so if faction A built a fort in region 1 ,also faction B can build his fort in the same region, but if a faction A also occupy the fort of faction B then it needs to leave one fort free). -"You cannot sally out from your settlement/fort, or attack the army besieging your settlement/fort if the result is a defeat"
Crusades and Jihads Rules:
Crusades and Jihads aren't allowed for this hotseat...
Agents Rules:
- Spies aren't allowed to spread plague in any case not matter what.
- Spies can be used against forts and settlements as long as you have at least 60% of chances of infiltration. You'll need 2 to open a fort/settlement.
If someone take a settlement in which you ad spies (whether it was your or not) already, and you intend to conquer it, you still need to take out of the settlements the spies to prove you have the 60% of chances of infiltrating in the turn you're going to conquer it.
- Each faction cannot recruit more than a assassin every 25 regions owned. So to recruit the secon assassin you'd need to own 26 regions or more. For the third
51 or more and so on.. If you have 26 regions recruit a second assassin, and after some turns the number of regions decrease to 25 or less you must immediately suicide
one of the assassins.
- Assassins can sabotage everywhere as long as they have at least 60% of chances. Assassins can only kill:"Priests/imams/spies/assassins/merchants/generals" as long as they have 60% of chances. (Except for Assassins which you only require a 30% chance to kill)
-Princesses can steal through marriage other factions family mamembers/generals only if they have 60% of chances.
-Merchants can seize other merchants only if they have 60% of chances.
- No exploiting merchants in the form of merchant stack - (Putting several
merchants in an army or fort/military-unit securing a resource).
-All the agents rules are applicable against humans, but not AI, unless specified otherwise.
Building Rules:
- Only Inns/Guilds are allowed to be destroyed
- If a settlement is under siege then it is NOT ALLOWED to destroy any buildings in the settlement.
- You are not allowed to exterminate a settlement in the map . This is because it will destroy many buildings in the settlement(Possibly downgrade a settlement). This is also valid against the AI
Diplomacy rules
-No allying Pope
-No giving provinces in war zone to a faction controlled by the AI (it means regions bordering-by land- with a faction you're at war with).It's ok giving it to a human-controlled faction.
-Assasins cannot kill family members of any faction either human or AI controlled.
-Any new player taking command of a faction previously held by another player cannot attack a faction he's officially allied with for at least 5 turns, or until the allies of that faction break the deal.
- Any regions that are gifted, sold, traded with another Faction must have all units except one disbanded immediatly!
-Is not allowed to vassallage AI factions
-Faction Suicide is illegal. Anyone suspecting someone else trying to commit suicide or not playing to the best of his abilities must report it to an admin immediately. Any party involved in the splitting up or taking advantage of such gameplay will be fined accordingly.
You cannot attack other human factions within the first 2 turns. Also if you have army on another human faction at the start you'd need to evacuate it within 2 turns. If you put ships in with stacks and a siege weapon within the range of a settlement of another human player, you can't use it on turn 3 to take such settlement.
Bugs/Exploits:
The mov.bugs cannot be used. All bugs in general are banned unless explicitly allowed.
When discrepancies will arise or aspects not covered by the rules above, the Admin on its total own discretion will rule out about such cases.
If you believe someone might have broken the rules, you should not post it publicly! Pm first to the admin who will first investigate on the matter.
If the breaking of the rules is confirmed, then it'll be the admin to report it publicly along with the appropriate fine/punishment.

The best way Themzr would be to simply create the hotseats with slots available if you want to attract people,
I seriously doubt you'll get anything going otherwise judging on the thread linked and other recent recruitment/upcoming threads.
Unless that is now no longer in accordance with the rulez.

I don't understand the map borders. Are all those novgorod regions in play? And is Lithuania the only human faction you can send crusades to?
Also I wonder if you can use spies without rules against AI and rebels?

The only Novgorod regions in play are those north of the border-line. Crusades are not allowed for this hotseat. I will change the rules to ensure that, and finally spies can be used without restriction against AI and rebels...
New SS 6.4 YB hotseat Come one, Come all!
You may conquer regions outside the border but not sack/exterminate or keep them. Building rules still apply ofc, and you must not demand money from AI when gifting regions.Change: Kiev and the neighbouring town are off limits unlike shown on this map
