The Rules

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Basic Rules
- This HotSeat campaign will aim to complete AT LEAST 1 Turn every 24hrs. This guideline will be strictly enforced by the Admin.
- If you can not complete your turn within the time limit then inform the Admin before your 24hrs is up. The Admin may then choose to sub the turn or occassionally may grant a 12-24hr extension.
-The Admin will not waste time trying to make contact with a late player. Its up to you to let the admin know you will be late.If you do not, then expect to be subbed. If you are late too often or constantly need extensions you will be replaced
- When admin intervention is needed you must send admin a PM explaining the situation. Don't bother posting issues about other players on the main Thread.
- No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. movement bug, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, armies on ships to go through enemy zone of control (brown tiles where armies should stop), spies spreading plague, abandoning settlements so you may sack them repeatedly.. ect
- If you are discovered using an exploit/bug/cheat of any kind then you will be removed from the HotSeat and banned from any HotSeat I host in the future. This is a 0 tolerance rule. So if you think what you are doing might be an exploit.. well then guess what? It probably is. Confirm with the Admin if needed before making a post.

Military rules
- Battles are auto-resolved. Screenshots must be posted with: odds and result screens, mouse over the odds bar to show the ratio, the armies involved with their banners visible on the campaign map, unit card of siege unit (ballista/catapult) must be visible if used to directly assault settlement.
-1 tun peace. No Hostile actions against any player until turn 2. This includes bribery. Any amries/agents in another players land on turn 1 must be returned to your own lands.
- 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. Armies standing in fortifications (fort/settlement) when defeated are excluded from this rule.
- Heroic victories vs players aren't allowed (exception when it's impossible to get another result)
- Ships cannot leave blockaded ports. No attacking ships in ports using a game bug. It's not allowed to keep units protected by placing them in ships docked in a port. .
- Not allowed to sally out if the result is a defeat.


Agent rules
- 1 spy with at least 50% chance of infiltration needed to open gates of fort/settlement, screenshots must be posted.
- Princesses are not allowed to steal Generals/Family Members. They may marry other players characters only through diplomatic means.
- Assassins cannot sabotage. Not allowed to kill family members, generals, princesses. They need 20% chance to assassinate agents, against other assassins just 10% needed. Screenshots required.
- Merchants need 50% to acquire other merchant's assets. Only allowed in your own regions, Rebel Controlled Regions, or regions you have aquired Trade rights to. Screenshots required

Settlement rules
- No destroying buildings. Only inns/guilds are allowed to be destroyed and only if settlement is not under siege.
- Limit of 2 Forts per region.
- When receiving a region through diplomacy all units except 1 must be disbanded.
- Not allowed to exterminate settlements

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
