Cold winds blowing across the North Sea. Viking`s long ships restlessly resting in ports. Rulers and their vassals play the game of intrigues, manipulations and betrayals with a single purpose - conquest. While people are living their humble lives the air smells of a new war. War of the North!
~~ HOTSEAT RULES ~~ (taken from Mithridate hotseat Murky Number Seven)
Basic Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It is your responsibility to pay attention to the rules. - You are allowed to reload your saves as many times you want to. - Turns must be played within 24 hours or you will be auto-subbed by an admin. If you fail to do your turn more than three times, without notifying anyone, you will be removed from the hotseat. - Once you have finished your turn and uploaded the save, please PM and leave a Visitor message for the next person. - If you suspect one of the players have broken any rules or cheated, please contact the Admin and ask him to check it. - You are not allowed to take any region beyond the white border shown on the map above.
Battle Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- Armies that are defeated in battle by a player that comes after them in the turn list may not move the following turn. This is to make it fair for people who are defeated by players that come before them in the turn list. Attacking defeated armies the following turn is allowed.
- Its ALLOWED to use seige equipment to attack city straight instead of waiting siege equipment to construct.Siege equipment must be shown on a battle proof image.
- All Player vs Player battles must be auto-resolved. Battles against AI can be played. Note: Screenshots are to be posted as evidence of auto-resolve.(The Odds and Results windows must not be edited in any way. Editing out Map info, Cash, and any Units/Agents/Regions not involved in the attack is fine).
Composition of the army must not be edited and being visible.
- No surrounding enemy armies with one stack armies, solely to deny any survivors a retreat. Blocks of landbridge ,bridges or similar, to cut the retreat is allowed
if not in contact with the enemy army (which means the red zone around the enemy army)
-No attacking ships inside a port.You cannot leave a blocked port without fighting the enemy ships first. If a player keeps an army inside a fleet inside a port,
other players are allowed to attack that fleet even if it's inside a port (if you don't know how, ask Invicta).
-you can build only two forts per region max (it is meant per faction, so if faction A builttwo forts in region 1 ,also faction B can build his fort in the same region).
Building Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- You may not gift a region to another faction if the city is at risk of capture. -You cannot level a city to the ground -No destroying of any buildings if city is at risk of capture -Only Inns/Guilds can be destroyed if a person captures a city - You are not allowed to exterminate a city. You must either sack it or occupy it. This is to prevent huge cities from turning into villages.
Diplomacy rules
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
-No allying Pope -No giving provinces in war zone to a faction controlled by the AI (it means regions bordering-by land- with a faction you're at war with).It's ok giving it to a human-controlled faction. -Any new player taking command of a faction previously held by another player cannot attack a faction he's officially allied with for at least 5 turns, or until the allies of that faction break the deal. - Any regions that are gifted, sold, traded with another Faction must have all units except one disbanded immediatly!
Agents Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- Spies aren't allowed to spread plague. - Spies can open gates of settlements and forts, but you need 2 spies in the city/fort to be allowed to attack AND both have to have a min. of 60% chance to succed in their action. (must be shown by screenshot) - The use of Agents against AI factions is legitimate without any restrictions and the need of screenshots. - No exploiting merchants in the form of merchant stack - (Putting several merchants in an army or fort/military-unit securing a resource).
Crusades and Jihads Rules: - Crusades are banned from the Hotseat. You are not allowed to join a crusade.

oh no! shall i again join a hotseat?
i dont know....
it is... so tempting!
i cant resist!
I MUST!
my studies!?
PLAYING HOTSEATS!
Oh my god Matto what are you doing to me!
maybe jsut sa small faction?
yes!
that should do it!
hahaaa!
Give me the teutons! (oh and you might want to let them capture 2 more regions in the east ;-)
I know that feeling StOuFf. Relax and enjoy in hotseats
I would rather not change the number of regions for factions. I know how to do it but then will also other leaders of small kingdoms want more land and that will not end well.
You can make a miracle with this two regions if you play smart.
Although, it is a war of vikings and the descendants of the great viking Rus aren't included?
I would prefer it if Novgorod was somewhat involved, even if it is an AI and half of it's lands are included.
We shall begin this hotseat. Poland is still free but I hope that someone will take it or I will sub it in the worst case. We have waited enough and now may the war begin.
I simply dont understand players who subscribe to some hotseat and then forget to play their first turn. If that happens again I will have to find another more serious player.
