[HS] Westeros at War

[Gimli]

'Westeros is divided, the world is filled with lies, deception, people tangled in strings. Kings are here and there, jumping out of wholes in the ground. Seems now all it takes to be king is a bolt of cloth. The world stands apart, divided. Only one shall stand, the others shall fall. Will you be the next King of Westeros?'
Westeros at War takes place where trust is a quality rarely found in the world. The world is now filled with murder, betrayal and deception. Who can you trust if anyone? This is free-for-all hotseat, meaning lore is not taken into account. It is encouraged that any alliance formed not just automatically done and that you do something different you wouldn't normally do with your faction. Westeros Total War offers a unique quality that few mods posses automatically. Deception and betrayal are what make this mod stand out from the rest, so in this hotseat, you have to always remember, every action you take will have a consequence. One way or another, debts are always paid.

We will be using Matto's New Beginning mod found here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-New-beginning

This hotseat for now is invite only. Once all of the invited players chose a faction we will start; any unselected faction will go to a public player.

And does anyone know how to put links to players profiles in their name? I have no idea how to do it.

[joerock22]

Baratheon of King's Landing for me, please!

[FrostySOTF]

Yes, see the earth symbol with the little infinity sign directly to the right of the smiley face button? Highlight the players' name and then click that and paste the URL of their profile in there and that's it all

[blue1924]

I would be up for some Lannister,

Also if this is a free for all with lore not taken into account, I would suggest having the admin edit the descr_strat file to:
1. Move men such as Renly's and Robb's men back to their respective regions, as they start deep in what potentially could be enemy territory
2. Remove all pre existing alliances and wars (except for with the rebels) so that everyone can start actually start with a clear slate diplomacy wise.

[FrostySOTF]

The descr_strat editing is not needed if you do it with console commands (personal preferance)
and the dip. isn't a big deal, can be changed easily in-game, good suggestions but I don't wanna scare away a potential admin

[blue1924]

yeah I forgot you could move men with the console ingame, but yeah I don't have a problem with the diplomacy not being changed, but I think moving the men is a must.

[Matto16]

Sign me up as Tyrell. Haven't play that faction yet.

[Robb Stark, King in the North]

Put me in as Stannis The Mannis aka House Baratheon of Dragonstone. It is time to burn EVERYONE!

[Napslis]

If arryn will be left open i would like to take them!

[Dr Mac]

Ooooo so tempted, but I believe my HS capacity is maxed out I'm afraid (( I will see how I get on over the next few weeks as I may be able to join a few more HS after exams.

[Chieftain Khuzaymah]

But it seems there is only 1 faction left right now, so I'll take Martell please I like the cosy spot in the corner of the map, a good start for a Westeros career I guess

[Luume]

I know it's a free for all but is it still in the same likeness to most HS where the aim is to put someone on the throne. E.g. could Tywin Lannister decide he was a better king and rally allies like stark and renly (random examples that wouldn't normally help lann) behind him to attack the throne?

[Chieftain Khuzaymah]

what is the throne? does it have purpose?

[*Ranger*]

If anyone drops out, can I put my name forward for a spot

[blue1924]

I know it's a free for all but is it still in the same likeness to most HS where the aim is to put someone on the throne. E.g. could Tywin Lannister decide he was a better king and rally allies like stark and renly (random examples that wouldn't normally help lann) behind him to attack the throne?

God dammit Luume, that wasn't my plan or anything

[Gimli]

*Ranger* you are on the invite list you can pick whatever faction you want that is isn't already taken. Updating OP now

Edit: I will look around for one more active person to take House Arynn since Dr Mac, Mithridate are unavailable at this time. Not to worries to anyone, my next hot seat will feature Mithridate vs Nice…Best TATW hotseater vs the best WTW hotseater; in for a real treat

And yes you can do whatever the heck you want. Its free for all, every man for himself. Also Chieftan, the Throne is the seat of power for the King of Westeros. It really has no impact, just an excuse to attack people really.

Normally Stannis + Renly fight joffery for the throne, vice versa.

[joerock22]

what is the throne? does it have purpose?

The Iron Throne is located in King's Landing, and is the symbol of the King of the Seven Kingdomes (aka Westeros). So technically my faction leader is the King. But we're not following lore here, so really I'm king of my starting lands only. That is, until I do some conquering.

[Gimli]

i don't think I've seen Joffery go on the offensive before, should be interesting.

[joerock22]

Well, I don't know where or how I'll be aggressive, but it has to happen. Otherwise I just sit and wait for a stronger faction to kill me. It's a FFA so I can't rely on traditional allies to rescue me.
