Westeros: Battlegrounds

[Loose Cannon]

Ok, count me in on this one. And I'll take number 4.

That revised descr_campaign_db file looks interesting. Everything I read suggested raising lopsided_thresh float to increase the balance of A/R but you've lowered it. Maybe that's why all my tests failed last weekend.

[complete noob:(]

Number 5. And similar to Mith, I really dislike Arryn, but I'll play with them if I get them

[Antoniusz]

Number 7!

Ok first post updated so you can see what factions you are.

@Loose No I just copied what was originally there. Theoretically raising it up to 5-7 should work but I still got the uneven results so I raised it up to 70-80 just to see and I got better looking results for casualties. However I noticed that siege battles were producing weird results, like a stronger army being badly beat trying to take a castle and even winning sieges suffered more casualties then the defender. Both results are sort of realistic but don't think hotseat players will like it.

Numbah 1
and 2

Well as stated if mith picked martell we would switch and just so happened his first choice was martell so I will take that faction. His second number was tyrell...

[xXAmonXx]

number 5

[complete noob:(]

number 5

I already have 5

[Mithridate]

I just knew it Thank you for sparing me

[xXAmonXx]

fine, number 3!

[ljomx]

Added you on Amon.

Also since hopeless asked for tully anybody object to just letting him have it?

[vozd]

8

[Hopelessly Hopeless]

Six is good (Seinfeld anyone)

Tully would be quite better. If someone else wants a chance at the fish though, I obviously have no problem in going random

[ljomx]

I have given Hopeless tully. He chose greyjoy so I'm sure if somebody chose tully they would have been open to trading....

Anyways that leaves greyjoy and renly. Next person to join can choose their faction. Hopefully greyjoy seems inviting. What's great about the rules is that in any case if we can't fill the spots a player can choose to take them or we just let the admin defend. Also if nobody joins I will allow some sort of bidding on switching factions or making a permanent ally.

I guess for now we can wait to see if somebody wants to join....

[Pinkie Pie]

Greyjoy.

[ljomx]

Ok that was quick....

Ok renly is now open to either be traded or taken as their permanent ally. Reasonable changes will be made should you choose to play both for balance.

-If you defeat an army of a faction who's turn is after yours you may not attack that same army next turn unless the army retreats to a settlement (applies for ships as well)

Could be better to have armies defeated by players who come later in the turn list be unable to move for the next round. It certainly is used more often

[Mithridate]

If you want your rule Ljomx, i suggest using this variation of it as its pretty water-tight while still relatively clear. Better safe than sorry

3. All defeated armies or fleets are not allowed to move on the turn after they have been defeated, nor can they be attacked on the turn after they have been defeated, except in cases where Rule 4 applies. This does not apply to armies defeated as reinforcements while positioned inside a fort/hub

4: Exceptions to Rule 3:
1. If you attack an enemy army, and your army is defeated, the enemy is allowed to attack that army on his turn.
2. If an enemy reinforces his defeated army in the field on his turn, that army is allowed to be attacked.
3. If an enemy army retreats into a Fort, City, or Castle and is besieged on the same turn that that it is defeated, it may be attacked on the following turn. If the army is not besieged on the same turn that it is defeated, it may still be besieged on the following turn, but may not be attacked until the third turn.

[ljomx]

Ok whatever mith just posted is the new rule....

Also what do you guys want to do with renly?

[Antoniusz]

I'd say Renly could fit with either baratheon faction if we can't find any independent player.
