[Dead Sun]

Here.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

So if I am right, a user group?

Both have valid points. However, new games usually do not ask for usergroups. That was what Ponti stood by

There is already a usergroup for the GSTK moderators. (not sure if this has been answered... )

Raglan is the group leader.

[René Artois]

Wait, I didn't see what the second option was before I'd voted for #1. I vote for #2.

Haha.

[Ace_General]

Support support support support

[Ace_General]

Though narf, I thinky you angered the GSTK gods, theres no smelly hippy option

[Narf]

[Raglan]

haha, yes, ace is right. This poll is immediately void without a smelly hippy. I'm in, and can mod of course.

[Shadow141]

I am in

[Narf]

Haha x)

[Stildawn]

Present, etc

[René Artois]

I am smelly, but I'm not a hippy, so I'm playing.

[Pinkerton]

I would love to play, and even get involved in writing the rules

[Lord William]

I am disappointed that i was forgotten

[Narf]

I am disappointed that i was forgotten

Forgotten?
Edit: I'll be making the guidelines for this game. They will be simple. Not enough for the people that love rules. And too much for those who dislike it. Just how it have to be.

@Pinkerton I'll send the rules you're way once they are done. Thank you for volunteering.

[Gandalfus]

I'll give it another go.

[Magicman2051]

I'll give it another go.

About military, I have some 2 centsshillings.


First of all, make the rules so players cannot spam huge armies. It was just not natural at that time. Then armies should have tiers. I suggest:

Tier I: Retinue
Tier II: Mercenaries
Tier III: Levies

If I am guessing right, armies were composed of companies of 100-500, right? So, structure the costs accordingly to make armies as precious. That way, armies will be used in much more sensible manner.


Then comes the question of who can raise how much. For that, you can make use the demesne concept of Crusader Kings. I'll give a short explanation:

Demesne: Lands belonging to and directly ruled by player
Realm: Lands nominally belonging to player but direct ruled by others.

Consider the king as example. The player being king will be nominally ruler of all England. But he can raise private troops only from his demesne, say Normandy. This will bring a neat balance for all players. Not to mention an interesting twist in the whole lord-vassal relationship, wouldn't you say?


Now we come to navies. Although structured navies were non-existent, ships were pretty much required for any overseas venture. Hence, you could include the concept of players having coastal owning ships or even a fleet. Why coastal lands, you might ask. Simple because, ships need to be kept in ports and unless the player has a coastal province, where would he keep the ships.

Then ships should have some rules for how much they can carry. For example:

- 100 troops for long journeys
- 200 for short journeys

Sounds somewhat senseable, were sorta implementing this with the regionally based recruitment, perhaps we should look into the whole demesne realm type deal

Perhaps we can also set some kind of cap on the ammount of land each title can run or at least give penalties if you go over

Like a Baron can have one county, a count 3, a duke 5, though their shouldnt be anything stopping them from being say, Duke of Northumbria, Count of Warwick and Cornwall and Baron of say, Charlie
