[HS] Strong Arms and Swift Steel (ENDED)

[Belthasar Bolton]

Are we able to hire mercenary ships? Fleet, Armada, ect ect ect

I think we should stick with just mercenary armies for the first attempt at implementing this in a hotseat. If this works well then perhaps a larger discussion can be had for hotseats moving forward.

I didn't add the merchants in so that won't be apart of this hotseat. I didn't think it would be much of an addition since the only decent resources are the gold mines in Lannister's lands. Also, until further notice the Iron Islands, Vale, and Dorne are out of bounds and no armies are allowed to enter or pass through their lands. Good luck to everyone!

Few Questions. Instead of having no watch towers can we have two watch towers per person? Also i assume im not allowed to move Arya or Sansa?

Yeah, the princesses and generals in the vale are prisoners along with Jamie and the other generals. And no watchtowers. I think without them players have to be more diligent in their turns.

Also, if anyone has interest in another hotseat like this just message me so that I can get a headcount and start another one.

[Gimli]

Just so much land, its hard to keep track of everything.

[Belthasar Bolton]

I understand. However, you can always put watchtowers down in your turn and then reload once you've used them to scout. The problem with watchtowers is that they can be used to prevent forts from being placed and there is no way of telling how a watchtower placed on turn one can impact the hotseat 30 turns down the line when someone needs to put a fort somewhere and they can't because of a preexisting watchtower

[Gimli]

Most hotseats that allow forts have a rule which allows the admin to determine/punish if a watch tower is preventing fort placement. My suggestion is that we have two - three watch towers allowed per faction. When placing a watch tower, you can PM the admin faction in game of the exact positioning, and he can make can assess the placement via toggle_fow.

Normally i wouldn't have a problem with this but with so much land to cover, using generals isn't a viable option.

How far will two watchtowers really go? You could put one at flint's finger maybe and attempt to have sight of any iron born ships but I could skirt them along the edge of the map and avoid your view. Or even if you saw them you still wouldn't be able to know where they're going. I just don't see how two watchtowers can give a player any real assistance when someone can easily more from bush to bush and render the tower useless. If you want to put it to a vote then we can do that. However, I will be the tiebreaker in the event that it ends up being two votes for and two votes against.

[Parafix]

No point voting, No watch towers is fine, we all have large territories. Scout if you're worried about being attacked

[SoulGamesInc]

No Watchtowers is fine. It's there because proving ill-intent on placement is a pain, and players exploit that fact, often causing unnecessary issues. It's far easier to just not allow permanent placement. The old rule allowed it if the tower didn't block forts but sooner or later they always did and proving if the player planned for that to be the case is very difficult if not impossible. Thus, not allowing permanent placement is simple and easy by comparison.

So many things to test... I much prefer Stannis on Middlebloods game

[Belthasar Bolton]

There is no diplomacy allowed between any factions. That includes trade rights, map info, military access, etc. Any cooperation breaks the fundamental rule of this being a free for all where everyone is your enemy. ​

Stark fined for destroying buildings. I ask that you all remember that only religious buildings and blacksmiths can be destroyed.

[Gimli]

What. First 5 units in a fort, and now building destruction is off limits. Well
