Belthasar Bolton

The small council's decision to crown Aegon II Targaryen instead of his older half-sister Rhaenyra Targaryen has ignited the first Targaryen civil war. Consequently, the great game of diplomacy now begins as each Targaryen faction will require the support of multiple great houses for their cause to succeed. It will be left to each Lord to decide whether to support the Greens or the Blacks in the coming battles. However, consider the possibilities carefully as the lore of Westeros is littered with stories of once great houses now reduced to long forgotten graves and whispers warning about the fate of men that choose poorly.This will be the second hotseats hosted on the Dance of the Dragons submod. There is no RP requirement for players to fulfill, but I strongly encourage writing and posting RP as it adds an extra level of interest to the game.
Please read the rules over carefully and post with your three preferred factions. We will begin as soon as all positions are filled.

Admin Faction

This faction will be used to create mini events. For example; Faith uprising Slaver, Bandit, and Dornish Raids White Walkers Iron Bank debt collectors Dorne exists as part of the admin faction in this hotseat so players are strictly forbidden from marching their armies through Dornish lands. However, players may sail around Dorne so long as you avoid getting too close to Dornish ports or navies. From time to time there may be opportunistic Dornish Lords seeking to attack undefended castles so watch your southern borders carefully. Each Admin faction force will hold ancillaries which can be taken upon defeat. For example; Chests of Gold Lost Valyrian Swords Special armor

The Iron Bank of Braavos

The Iron Bank will now be open for business. The Bank will be run via the Admin Faction, all players can send diplomats & messages requesting loans at their discretion. Loan interest is set at a fixed rate of 20% Warning - Unpayed debts will result in the Bank finding its due one way or the other

Sellswords

Players may hire sellsword companies. Any player can message the admin via pm and request to hire these mercenaries at roughly twice their regular recruitment cost. The mercs are spawned at the factions starting capital and cannot be spawned anywhere else. Once the units are spawned in they're prohibited from moving or participating in battles for one turn. (This includes serving as reinforcements) If this rule is broken the recruitment cost is forfeited the men will be disbanded and the player will be barred from recruiting mercenaries again. Only one group can be recruited every three turns. Lastly, each group can only be recruited twice per player. The composition of these groups is as followed: Small Sellsword Company: 4,000 Gold 1 Armoured Spearmen 2 Levy Spearmen Medium Sellsword Company: 8,500 Gold 1 Armoured Swordsman 2 Amoured Spearmen 2 Levy Spearmen Large Sellsword Company: 11,000 Gold 1 Armoured Swordsman 2 Armoured Spearmen 4 Levy Spearmen

Finances

Each faction will be held responsible for keeping it's finances under control. If any faction goes bankrupt, the following fines will be issued. -2000 = Minor Troop Desertion -4000 = Small Stacks of Deserters Begin Pillaging Home Territories -6000 = Major Troop Desertion -8000 = The Loss of General Loyalty Traits -12000 = Faction Destruction

Agents & Captives

Agents can be captured if they are inside a fort/settlement captured by the enemy or if they are surrounded with units on each side (North, South, East, West) Enemy agents can only be surrounded and captured if they are inside of you or your allies territory. Diplomats can be bribed. Merchants can be bribed at 35% odds. Princesses can steal enemy generals at 35% odds. However, princesses cannot be used to steal generals from an army that is sieging. Pictures must always be provided whenever an agent is bribed or a general is stolen. A general can be captured if you have him trapped in a fort/castle you are besieging or could have killed him in battle. You can ransom generals back or trade them for other prisoners. There will be no trial by combat option for captured generals.

Spoils of War

After killing an enemy, you may request the ancillaries of fallen enemies. For example; If Targaryen defeats Robert Baratheon and kills him, Targaryen may claim his Warhammer. Random ancillaries will be decided by the admin, however lordships cannot be taken.

Rules

1. 2 forts per region 2. 6 forts max per faction and 5 (half-strength) unit requirement for each fort 3. Adoptions and Man of the Hour generals are not allowed 4. No excessive replays to insure victories 5. No watchtowers 6. No one turn peace, unless the player has yet not played. (No attacking / entering / forting in enemy territory unless they have already played) 7. No Destroying Buildings 8. No diplomat / agent stomping. 9. PM/VM the next player that it is their turn. You have 24 hours to play each turn before you are skipped. 10. No bug abuse! When you think someone has used a bug report it here and the admin will look into it. If in doubt, just ask us. No sailing from a blockaded port without defeating the blockading ships, it is illegal to burn down ports in order to get around this rule. Armies must not end a turn be hidden in ships inside of ports. This is because that army would be unreachable. No sallying forth in a siege if the outcome is a defeat. This counts towards all sieges including forts. No YoYo army bug. 11. Heroic victories are 100% banned and illegal. If you get a heroic victory repeatedly, contact an Admin and we may allow it. 12. Post pictures of battle odds, involved armies, their banners and the results. It is advised to hide everything else, especially the mini map and your finances. (Pictures must be 100% of what is required, no exceptions). Pics are not necessary if the battle is 10:1 odds or better for the attacker. However, any battles with odds less than this require pics (no exceptions). 13. Settlements gifted should disband all units save one. No gifting regions in a war zone ( bordering faction at war with, or under threat ) 14. Armies defeated by a player (b) that comes after the original player (a)'s turn cannot move next turn, so if Tyrell defeats a Lannister army that army cannot move next turn. - Exception: Reinforcing armies standing in defenses, even if defeated, don't lose movement points. So player 'a' is allowed to move the army that reinforced another while in a fort even if defeated by 'b'. Addendum to the same rule: no sallying out of a fort\castle which has forces which were defeated last turn. This is to make it fair for those who come last at the turn order, because they will not be able to do this. 15. Armies and agents bribed are not allowed to move the turn they are bribed. 16. No sacking home regions. If you lose a home region and then reclaim it you're barred from sacking or annihilating the population. 17. There is no odds requirement for initiating a naval battle. However, the admin will evaluate each battle result and the odds of the battle to decide whether or not to allow it. You may message the admin before posting the results of a battle for a preemptive decision on whether the battle is allowed or not. 18. The admin retains the right to make decisions on anything not explicitly covered by these rules.

I'll be making some small changes to the descr_strat file before the save is posted. Also, I may alter some of the rules before the hotseat begins.

gj, gj, greens, arryn

[Captainnorway]

Baratheon, Baratheon, Baratheon

[CelivalTheGreat]

I will take Lannister first time in westeros btw anybody wanna give me advice that isn't in the hotseat?.

this will probably be the last hotseat I join for awhile.

[Belthasar Bolton]

Here is the link for DoDII Descr_Strat File


I'll also include a link to the descr_strat file in the OP. In order to apply the descr_strat file you will need to follow this route: mods/DanceoftheDragons/Data/World/Maps/Campaign/Imperial_Campaign. Once you reach the Imperial_Campaign folder it is as simple as overwriting the existing descr_strat file.

I've made some small changes:

1. Fixed Elmo Tully and Steffon Tully loyalty
2. Alan Tarly given Heartsbane
3. Every faction now has the ability to recruit to War Galleys

Success in Westeros hotseats usually come down to three things. 1. The constant recruiting of a navy as control of the seas is control of the game. 2. Diplomacy. The stronger the allies and the more of them the better. 3. The ability to properly fort in order to protect both your lands and armies. There are no spies or artillery units available in most current westeros mods so forts are powerful tools to use in game.

[Captainnorway]

is martell in the game btw?

[SoulGamesInc]

Martell isn't apart of the 7Kingdoms during the Dance, so it's not involved. If it was I'd suggest it be Admin controlled and used as an End Game objective of sorts.

[Dismounted Feudal Knight]

Martell is noted as being under Admin control in the OP.

[HouseStarkFTW]

If Tully isn't taken, I'll take it.

I'm good to start doing more hotseats once more.

[dijitalpaladin]

I'm willing to play either Targaryen faction, if they aren't already taken.

[Greystark111]

Arryn if not already taken

I wish to take the last Targ spot, if it isn't taken

[Belthasar Bolton]

It's yours I'll update the OP and post the starting save tonight.

Edit: Lannister: http://www.filedropper.com/dodiilannister1

Please make sure you have my descr_strat file downloaded and installed or the saves won't work. Good luck to everyone and remember to read the rules over again before playing. I would hate to have to replay turns because someone assumed certain rules weren't changed in this hotseat.

Edit II: Please note that rule 17 has been altered. This will be the rule for naval battles moving forward.
