[HS] The Crown of Westeros II (Invite only Hotseat)

[Matto16]

Crowns of Westeros II

Hotseat based on Korspkog's small submod War of the Five Kings with some additional modifications done by myself.

~Outline~

This Hotseat is meant as a quick one, so the number of factions was reduced to 7 with Lannister/Joffrey, Stark/Tully and Renly/Tyrell beeing joined to a one big faction. This is also lorewise because each of those three Kings had a big support of the coresponding House and their relationship was very strong. At the same time all those 3 Alliances were in war between themselves and with another two Kings, Balon Greyjoy and Stannis Baratheon. As a result all those five factions will be at war from the beginning till one of their Kings die, though secret pacts between them are possible as long as they remain true to the lore . At the same time we will also have two neutral Houses Arryn and Martell who will be free in their diplomatic dealings with one single exception: their player will have to stay true to the lore (Martell won't side with Lannister unless you will give us a good explanation for that alliance) + they will have to publicy acknowledge their loyalty to one of the five kings (or stay neutral) even if they will make further secret pacts.

~Timeline~

This game starts at the beginning of the War of the Five Kings with characters beeing on the same locations like in youngbloods and Enhanced 0.53 mods. Stark is fighting for revenge against Lannister and Joffrey, Stannis and Renly are their own Kings who would like to sit on the Iron Throne and rule Westeros as late King Robert's brothers and we also have Ironborn and their King Balon who wants to have his own independent Kingdom. Who will prevail at the end? That is up to you to decide.

~Download~

We will be using War of the Five Kings Submod (link will come). It is very easy to install as you have to just download it and unzip it to your medieval2/mods.

~Winning Condition~

Dominate Westeros by controlling King's Landing and kill all other Kings (not factions). So even if some other faction still holds only one region and their King is still alive you haven't yet archieve victory as you will have to kill him first.

~Rules~

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

• Turn 1 Peace. You may cross another players region, but must not end turn there nor take any hostile action, like fighting or forting.
• Pm the next player that it is their turn. You have 24 hours to play each turn before skip/sub
• 3 strike rule when it comes to a player being late. If your late 3 times with no warning, word or reason then you'll be replaced.
• Destroying buildings is not allowed if the settlement is under siege or a far superior army is one turn away from the settlement.
• 3 forts a region/player and forts need to have a garrison of at least 4 units, to limit fort spamming a bit.
• No assassinations
• No bug abuse! When you think someone has used a bug report it here and the admin will look into it.
• No sailing from a blockaded port without first defeating the blockading ships, it is illegal to burn down ports in order to get around this rule.
• Armies must not be hidden in ships inside of ports.
• No sallying forth in a siege to deny your besieger the opportunity to sack your settlement.
• Post pictures of battle odds, involved armies, their banners and the results. It is advised to hide everything else, especially the mini map and your finances.
• Settlements gifted should disband all units save one. No gifting regions in a war zone ( bordering faction at war with, or under threat )
• Armies defeated by a player (b) that comes after the original player (a)'s turn cannot move next turn, so if Tyrell defeats a Lannister army that army cannot move next turn. - Exception: Reinforcing armies standing in defenses, even if defeated, don't lose movement points. So player 'a' is allowed to move the army that reinforced another while in a fort even if defeated by 'b'. Addendum to the same rule: no sallying out of a fort\castle which has forces which were defeated last turn. This is to make it fair for those who come last at the turn order, because they will not be able to do this
• Heroic victories are banned
• No watchtower spam to prevent forting, admin will be the one to decide if it is or not so dont risk it.
• The recruitment of siege equipment and their use is strictly prohibited.
• If someone preforms a trick\move which isn't forbidden by the rules that the admin does not like, that action (if it should be allowed or not) goes to a vote and if more then half the players agree then that rule will become valid immediately. This goes for any loopholes a player may find, if you believe an action to be unlawful/possibly against the rules, consider it an illegal move and contact an Admin before making the move.

This is basicaly just the beginning of the first HS - The Crowns of Westeros which we finished because of too many bugs in game. We will start at the beginning with some new players and rules but the layout is the same as also the mod we are going to use for this game.


We will start sometime next month. Closed until then.
