Rome II: Faction Wars

In an age dominated by empires, great thinkers and legendary commanders, what role do you play?

Two Paths to Choose

1. General (EXPAND)

Your history is a mystery to most. But none can argue that you command a frighteningly vicious (and effective) horde of battle-hardened soldiers. Common-folk and soldiers alike tremble when they gaze upon you in battle formation, and powerful Kings and Queens across the lands seek to win you to their side. Who will you support? What factions will you stand against? The choice is yours. Requirements: Have at least 25 posts on twcenter forum. (Prevents alt accounts and cheating) Powers: Ability to remove 1 point from any faction, AND add 1 point to any faction. (Must wait for 12 hours to use ability again, OR until 7 other players have posted) You can change your loyalties at any time. *+1 rep for participating in game Generals: To receive rep for participation in a round, you must enter you name here

2. Secret Agent (EXPAND)

You are trained in the arts of subterfuge. Assassinations and sabotage are part of the job. You are "loyal" to two factions... and secrecy is the name of the game. If anyone finds out who you really support, a swift execution is the best you can hope for. - If you let anyone know which faction you support, you will be kicked from the round. Requirements: Must have at least 25 posts on twcenter forum. (Prevents alt accounts and cheating) Powers: Ability to remove 2 points from any faction (or 1 point from two different factions) (Must wait for 12 hours to use ability again, OR until 7 other players have posted). If your faction prevails, your Master has promised you a handsome reward. - You are "loyal" to 2 factions, +1 rep for participating, an additional +1 rep if any of your factions win However, if your faction falls, you have no choice but to become an outlaw, or risk execution by your conquerors. *If both of your factions are destroyed and you wish to continue playing, have no choice but to become a General. Click here to get started as a Secret Agent, and pick your factions.

--------------------

PHASES of each round + RULES (EXPAND)

1) Recruitment Phase (lasts 24 hours): - Secret Agents pledge their loyalty to a faction. Must be done in secret. (Click here to become a Secret Agent now). 2) Game Phase: - Game begins. Secret Agents and Generals use powers and abilities to add or subtract from factions. No more Secret Agents can join the round. - When there are only 5 factions left standing, all players' powers are enhanced. (When only 5 factions are left standing, Secret Agents can remove 3 points from a faction, and Generals can add 1 point AND remove 2 points from factions ) - Round ends, a faction is crowned supreme. Participants get repped, and secret agents (if they are victors) get an additional rep. New round begins. Additional Rules: -All factions start off with 8 points. -To add/remove points from factions, copy the latest list and alter the factions' you want to target (highlight the ones you voted for and remove previous user's highlighted areas if they're not the same as yours) -Each time you post, clearly state what you are (Secret Agent or General) -A faction is destroyed when it reaches 0 points. -If you join a game after "Recruitment Phase" ends, you may NOT be a Secret Agent for that round. You can, however, join as a General at any time during the round! -If you are caught using alt accounts in this thread, you will be suspended from playing for 5 rounds. If you are caught cheating a second time, you will be banned indefinitely from playing Faction Wars. (2 accounts have already been suspended due to cheating. Lets keep the game clean, please). -Finally, pay attention to the title of the thread. It will show the Round #, as well as the current status of the round. Color Codes Purple: Recent rule change Please use these codes to make it easier for other players to see what you've modified Green: Added point(s) to faction Red: Subtracted point(s) from faction

-
a question: Can I as a Secret agent also act as a priest and add points or am I restricted to only removing points?

[♞Rogue General♞]

​@Rex Armeniae
A Secret Agent can't act as a priest- the reason is that it would be very obvious which faction you belong to.
AKA, you will only upvote your faction

However, Secret Agents have been buffed. From OP: "Secret Agents buffed. Can now subtract 2 points from a faction (or subtract 1 point from two different factions)"
