Yet another Hotseat

[ljomx]

Where did you hear this? The mod is only about 70% done.

I doubt you'll see it before Christmas.

I say there be no respites at the start. If I was playing the Lannisters, I would lose all chance of winning the Riverlands at the very start and only be slowly killing myself. Whoever is playing as the Tullys, you better get your ass up to the Twins and Seagard.

Haha thank god you're not playing the lannisters. The problem is the lannisters can take the riverlands losing like 5% of their forces (especially with night attacks and cpu sims) It is also a huge disadvantage for all factions. They are already the richest and taking all those settlements doubles their money. Then they can build armies in every city. All this happens in the first couple of turns. Tyrells can't even make it up to lannister territory before this happens to force them to move any troops south. They can just mass produce armies after they raid the riverlands.

My suggestion was 1 turn no siege of riverrun and raventree. 1 turn won't destroy their chances. Lannister can reach saltpans in 1 turn and maidenpool in 2. Tullys have no chance in defending that. I think it opens more strategy as Tully's might want to destroy all buildings and pack in riverrun and the lannisters have some decisions like send jaimie to weaken edmure (no chance edmure wins) or siege pinkmaiden and wait for tywin to siege rivverrun.

I agree with the universal victory conditions, those are just the ones I will be trying for. As the true king I have a responsibility to defeat the pretenders (Starks, Greyjoys, Stannis and Renly) hold King's Landing and uphold the King's Peace.

[Enferfeu]

i think we should role with assains guys, but that's just me
I understand why we might not want the alliance think but.... I must insist on the battle update (if only on who won and who died)
I also think taking King's Landing shouldn't be a victory requirement, if the Starks capture the Riverlands, North, Iron islands, Vale of Arryn and Westerlands they should just win.
Lets role by saying those that are flying solo need to capture likeeeeee 4 full areas (North, Riverlands, Vale of Arryn, Westerlands) to win
If you have a team of two you must get 6 full areas
Something along this line... what you think?

[Enferfeu]

That isn't good advice... lol

[Heart of Madness]

Well, I'll want to play before the world ends at least.

Nah, I kid. But really though, that long? I really had my hopes up a year and a half ago.

[Enferfeu]

While I am new this and really only started ravenously desiring this mod in August, I think it will seem like time will fly and then we will have the mod... Besides doing stuff like this hotseat will help pass the time.
Speaking of, we need to vote on:
2 turn peace treaty-(I vote yesss)
Assassinations-(I vote yesss)
Everything else is cleared up I think, except for victory conditions.

Does assassinations mean the shadow babies or just faceless/sorrowful men?

[Meshakhad]

I support the idea of a 2-turn treaty, and I vote for assassinations.

As for victory conditions, how about this: when all players still in the game are satisfied with the situation and make peace, then the game ends. That limits the metagaming.

I second that.

[Danscall]

I'm down with that victory condition idea, so I'm up for just having the game run until we decide somebody wins.

I agree

On the votes:
assassinations: no (Shadowbabies is a big no for me)
two turns treaty: I agree with ljomx, just a one turn treaty. Two turns is to much.

[vozd]

2 turn peace treaty - yes
Tullys need that so bad!
Assassinations - yes
But we can't kill faction leaders.
When do we start? Wednesday or Friday?
And who is game leader? For password n stuff...

[Danscall]

If we do a Wednesday start I can't be the game leader, as is have to miss my first turn through absence, though that works out ok if were doing the truce thing anyway.

I'll count up the votes so far, hang on

Edit: scrap that, too many conflicting ideas. Could you please all choose one of the options from each of the following sections for me?

I think that covers everything. If you could all vote please well be on our way. Also if you're not already, get with the bribing and allying! :-D

[Pinkie Pie]

Difficulty = hard
Assassinations = all allowed (shadow babies should be limited though. I propose a limitation of usingf only 1 at a time, when that one dies you can start using another.)
Displaying results = all (Two pictures should also be used showing where the battle took place and what the result was. No auto resolves though.)
Starting Conditions = I would go with 1 turn peace
Diplomacy = Starting Alliance apply until either your faction leader dies or after 10 turns

[Danscall]

Sorry, one final section that I forgot.

Start date:
Wednesday
Friday

[Pinkie Pie]

I would prefer Friday as I may not get the game until midweek.

[Dux]

Difficulty: Hard
Assassinations: Shadowbabies not allowed
Displaying of results: results displayed at will
Starting conditions: 1 turn peace
diplomacy: unrestricted
Startday: Wednesday

[Danscall]

Thanks guys, I've added your votes.

[khatmar]

Hey! My faction loses all it has without shadow spawns. I strictly vote yes!

[Danscall]

Ok, I have added that in, what about the other sections?
