[HS] Hungary against the Nations - Retrofit 2.0 version - (17 players FFA ~ 2 Open Spot: Moors, Spain)

[FrostySOTF]

And about the notifying part I have a question?

How do we know who is next in line so we can PM him

When you end your turn a screen will pop up asking for the next player's password, it'll show you which faction it is on that screen so when you post it you'll know and then just match the faction to the player in the OP

How is the map information for the video going to work? How are you planning to make this video?

[King Athelstan]

Well I thought I'd get a starting map of the web and for every turn I'd color the captured settlements in and say
Which wars would now be happening and stats of it ( only by map and my pictures of the end turn reports)
And pause it after every turn and get a different file for different turn , etc

[King Athelstan]

Richard, I suggest you become the administartor, and gets everyones password so you an get all the info you need!

HotSeat historians are always good to have. great idea m8!

The admin won't require peoples passwords. But yes we certaintly need an Admin or two. Try asking a member of the Gaming Staff, they aren't doing much anyways

[FrostySOTF]

I'm actually admin of this hotseat, OP just hasn't been updated yet

[General Dragon.]

We are currently at 14 players, so I think we can go on to the pressing matters in question.

Do we share the factions by everyone picking, what he wants or should we random it?
About agents. Do we want restrictions on them or, should we play without any restriction?
The remaining factions turn to AI or someone play their turn?

Currently Frosty is one of the admin of this HS. My question is do we trust him and allow him to play too? I don't want to deny the chance to play from him, however this can't be decided only by me.

[FrostySOTF]

I'm fine just being the admin, I'll leave the playing to you guys
I feel that there shouldn't be any restrictions on Spies but Assassins have to be regulated, Princesses and Merchants also but to a lesser extent.
Remaining factions should probably go AI.
Random selection would probably be best so it's fair to all.

These are just some suggestions, I'll leave the finer details to you guys

[Adam15HUN]

I think we should random the nations. Only a little restriction to the assassins: The King and the Prince can't kill, and I don't care who will play the other factions.

[FrostySOTF]

I was thinking 30% and up assassination and like 1 assassin per 10 regions

[Egyptian_Viking]

The King and the Prince can't kill

I was thinking 30% and up assassination and like 1 assassin per 10 regions

I like the idea of both of these combined. It's no fun to lose the campaign cause your King was assassinated.

[FrostySOTF]

Everyone else okay with this?

1 assassin per 10 regions (EX. you can have one assassin at the start no matter how many regions you have and then once you have 11 settlements you can get a second then at 21 and so on)
30% chance to kill generals/captains/agents and Faction Leader/Faction Heir are both off limits no matter how high the chances.

i am fine with that, we have 14 players ATM so will there be 5 AI factions (excluding Mongolia, and the timurids)

i think we should all try to agree on which factions should be AI ( ex. HRE, France, etc because of their supreme starting power, or milan cause of its very weak starting power)

[FrostySOTF]

If you guys want to get this started I can sub the factions not currently taken and keep doing that until players for them trickle in, It's not too fair if one person is surrounded by AI and just dominates them, if we do the random faction allocation then it's not a bit deal but I'm open to subbing the factions not taken if you guys wish

[Macrath]

Personally i would rather have assassins only be able to target agents.

I always thought this rule set worked best. Just my opinion of course

[english RAF commander]

Why can't you sally out if it will be a defeat, this way ( by losing) you at least do some damage to the opponent instead of him taking your settlement without a fight, frosty SOTF , does that mean no random factions?

[english RAF commander]

Oh and I think it'll be Ok for you subbing factions ( if you have enough time) you must realise that you can't just ally those factions to each other to create 1major faction and possibly attack yourself
