Lord Dunstan Drumm

BIO:
This man is one of the bravest Victorian's captain which destroyed Lannister's fleet at Lannistport.
In that battle he killed 2 Lannister's captains in single combat. After that victory he led few successful raids along Westerlands shores. In spite of previous successes he menaged to escape battle at Fair Island and because of that other captains and soldiers despise him. He was captured by Robert's forces at Old Wyk when his castle fall into enemies hands.
Lord Dunstan Drumm claimed the Seastone Chair for himself at the kingsmoot,but fact that he talked too much of his family's past glories, and that the contents of his chests only contained bronze diminished his support.

ANCILLARIES:
Lord of Old Wyk - House Drumm of Old Wyk is a noble house from the Iron Islands, tracing their history back for at least eight hundred years. Their seat is on the island of Old Wyk, the island considered holiest by the ironmen and the first one colonized by the First Men. The Drumms hold the title "Lord of Old Wyk", suggesting that they have some type of sovereignty over the whole island and its other houses. chivalry + 2
Red Rain - The Drumm house owns a Valyrian steel sword called Red Rain, that was taken from some knight years ago by Hilmar the Cunning with just wits and a wooden cudgel. Due to the name and the color of the sword, it is probable that the sword belonged to House Reyne. Hitpoints +2

[Pinkie Pie]

The Ironborn have too many generals already.

[ariobarzanes1388]

I'm also thinking of creating my own units. I'll do it if I have time later on.

[Pinkie Pie]

No units will be added in.

[Mithridate]

i want lannister and will make my character as soon as i have time tonight

Greyjoy will be taken by Dr Mac

[Dr Mac]

Yes it will

Will make my char tomorrow

[Pinkie Pie]

A poll is up concerning siege weapons.

I have managed to get siege weapons into the game again and if you all agree I will implement it into the hotseat.
My current idea is to have them cost 7,000, replentish every 10 turns and only be recruitable from 11 settlements (starting capitals and Harrenhal)

I believe that adding them and making them rare will give us the ability to counter the fort spam without making forts useless.

[ariobarzanes1388]

Be careful though, it's a double-edged sword, for example, let's say I have one unit in my capital and my army is close by so it can support the city in case of a siege. Then comes another player with three units, catapult included, and captures my capital, destroys every single (destroyable) building and gets the hell outa there before I have a chance to bring my army forth. This makes the game unrealistic and stupid because in real life, they wouldn't lay siege and attack in an hour while there is a big enemy army next to the castle doing nothing.

There are issues with using them to sack cities without fighting an army.
1: They cost 7k a turn
2: They take 3 turns to train
3: They take 10 turns to become available for training once more
4: Siege weapons have a small movement radius and if you let one get close enough to hit your city in that way you deserve for it to be burned.

All this would mean you could detroy 1 city every 10 turns (without taking into account the moves required to get there) and would only really be effective along the coast.

[Pinkie Pie]

We can put limitations. For instance, no using trebuchets to attack cities on the first turn of a siege.

[Mithridate]

I vote against Trebs

working on my char now^^

[Mithridate]

Will they be recruitable from the start?

Having a treb with 3 Lannister stacks slowly advancing on you will NOT be funny.

Clerification: 7000 a turn and 50,000 to recruit?

[Pinkie Pie]

7,000 and they will be recruitable from the start.
The Lannisters would have to wait 10 turns to train any new trebuchets just like everyone else so that would take 30 turns.

Aemon Blackfyre, The bastard 34


BIO:
Adopted son of Tywin and Joanna Lannister, conceived just prior to Tywin meeting Joanna. His mother died at childbirth and his father murdered by the mad king as he claimed to be a Blackfyre. Tywin never liked him but accepted him out of love for his wife who was a close friend to the deceased mother. Aemon is a close friend of jamie and tyrion alike, having grown up with them much like a bastard brother. During the War of the usurper he fought in the Royal Army in a scouting unit, distinguishing himself first at the Battle of the Bells he became captain and again at the Trident, both in prior skirmishes and during the battle. He witnessed the death of Rhaegar and now carries with him a large ruby from the dead princes armor. He arrived just prior to the sacking of kings landing by Tywin and aided Jaime without hesitation with killing the pyromancers.

being known for carrying vials of black wildfire with him for use in battle, he has gained the nickname "Blackfyre".
There is more however behind the name however, that he will find out soon enough.

7,000 and they will be recruitable from the start.

That just makes no sense to me?

As in, 7000 to recruit and ? in upkeep.
30 turns for what, supposed to be 10 turns for replenishing?

That means ill have my first treb on turn 4, second one on 14.
Since they cost 7000 to make im guessing the upkeep is around 500?

EDIT: I see, i meant one treb followed by 3 stacks being a nasty sight
But i still wonder, what do you intend to put the upkeep on? 500 seems reasonable if theyre implemented

[Pinkie Pie]

A link has been added to the OP and 2 new characters have been made.

[Mithridate]

About rules:

If the character dies, are we out of the game?

OR:
Keep playing?
Find a new player?
make a new char?
Char cant die?

Thoughts?

[Pinkie Pie]

If your character dies you can continue although the point is to try and keep them alive as long as possible without hiding them.
I have given all custom characters a hidden trait which will make assassination impossible.
