[Hotseat] This Is A Hotseat

[Dux]

yes, I've downloaded it. I haven't tested the changes yet but i suppose better balancing doesn't hurt. So are we going to use the new version? And when will we start?

[Meshakhad]

Yes, but that's five thousand gold. That's a large army. And how does it make keeping track of rivals easier?

Personally, I think that declaring kingship should not cost money. Or at least, not that much.

[HannibalExMachina]

kings have expanses. its in there, so we should use it.

[Dux]

actually, with the prices in this mod, for 5000 you can create about 4 armored swordsmen.

And you can keep track trough your scribe, he tells you who claimed kingship.

[Pinkie Pie]

A one time payment of 5,000 gold is nothing in the long run.

[Danscall]

I think we should be allowed to destroy buildings. It's an accurate reflection of reality: cities captured would be sacked and only your core territories would be much use in producing reinforcements for really quite some time.

I vote we keep it in.

[Pinkie Pie]

No it is not an accurate reflection, people would not sack a city when they are stuck inside it. As for captured cities, you have the option to assimilate it which is the same thing.

[HannibalExMachina]

aerys would

Not if you're going to lose it no, but if you had just captured it you would. Robb sacked the Crag, Banefort, Ashemark and so on, the Lannisters sacked pretty much every city in the Riverlands

[Pinkie Pie]

Fine, Aerys would but he was insane and turned Rickard Stark into a barbeque

[Pinkie Pie]

Which you can do via the assimilate button.

We can not act like they do in the books because here we conquer lands wheres there the Westlands was always the Westlands and the Riverlands was always the Riverlands. No matter how many cities Tywin sacked he did not attempt to bring the Riverlands under his direct control.

Give it back after the war is over then? I'm voting to be able to destroy buildings if we like

[Dux]

what about the defending party may not destroy buildings but the attacking party may do it? I'm trying to find an agreement here.

[Danscall]

I'd take this I guess.

[Meshakhad]

Sounds good to me. I mean, it would be out of character for Roose Bolton or Gregor Clegane NOT to burn and pillage.

[ljomx]

Yeah I was thinking more of if a castle is currently under siege the defender can't destroy the buildings.

[Danscall]

Incidentally folks; there is a new version of the Enhanced 0.53 available. He's added some new Characters, and altered the balance by tweaking the finances of certain nations and, crucially, he's moved the starting positions of Lannister, Stark and Tully. If you haven't yet, I'd check it out. Maybe we can use that?

[Dux]

yes ok, I think everyone can agree to this.

So when will we start? all the players have been filled, the rules are set. I say let's start tomorrow.

Edit:
I have downloaded it already, I say let's use it. But to prevent problems, perhaps it is best to upload the same folder again? just as we did in Yet another hotseat.

[Danscall]

HERE IS A TEST FILE FOR THE NEW ENHANCED 0.53:

http://www.mediafire.com/?y4cdo8ywsine4pe

If you can get that to work, then we can use this. There're no passwords for that file.

[Meshakhad]

I will start it tonight, giving people time for diplomacy and intrigue.
