    Factions
    - Each player will be playing two factions. If we dont have enough players, some factions might be turned AI/removed/merged.
    - Max 12-13 players most likely.
    - Which faction will be together will be decided later, thus wait with picking a faction till that is done. Although, you can state which factions you want to play and Ill see what can be done
    - The two you will be playing will be far from each other (ideally on the other side of the map, apart from some exceptions) so it will as close as possible to "having 24 players)

    Faction rules, minor objectives and special characters

    - Took some liberties from lore, putting interesting events together that happened prior the alliances creation, while they mostly didnt happen in the same time, etc. Might change few more things.
    - Objectives are giving you rewards, giving a direction to your diplomacy a bit. Fullfilling them doesnt mean you won the HS. Only few factions will have them.
    - When using abilities of your special characters, always state it in your post and show pics to prove it.
    - In case two characters with special abilities are present to the same battle on both sides, the special abilities are nullified if they of opposing character (for example a character allowing spies to take any settlement vs a character forbidding enemy spies from taking a settlement). In unclear situations, admin decides.

    Tamriel Empire (Longhouse Emperor Dynasty)
    Factions Rules

    - The Factions wishes to restore the power of The Empire. They can make all kind of deals with anyone to arhieve their goal.
    - However, for as long as The Empire is runned by the Longhouse reachmen dynasty, the nords, orcs and bretons cant form an alliance with The Empire (unless forced/subjugated), although, they dont necessarily have to fight each other.
    - Any member of The Longhouse Dynasty (Durcorach, Moricar, Leovic,...) can legalize Daedra worship at any point of the game (but if done so, it cannot be changed until death of the current FL). Doing that will allow the faction to recruit undead units from pre-built buildings across Tamriel . It should improve their relations with "undead" factions, but their relations with other factions would suffer...
    - Unless the worship legalized, it is forbidden to hire the undead units.


    Objectives
    - Controlling/subjugating one of the major regions of Tamriel (High Rock, Valenwood, etc) would get the faction a new special character.

    Special Characters
    - Durcorach Black Drake - Can take any settlement with any piece of siege artillery (starting in his army) no matter the walls (once per turn)
    - Leovic - A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions.

    Colovia and Nibenay (House Tharn and Aquilarios)
    Factions Rules
    - Starts as a vassal of Tamriel Empire. They can revolt only when when the longhouse dynasty is extinct, or when large part of Cyrodiil is controlled by other factions or when the emperor attempts to legalize daedra worship. Otherwise they must follow orders of the emperor.
    - If the factions overthrows the reachmen (the FL becomes emperor), the same rules as for The Empire are applied to the faction (except the ones about daedra worship, unless Abnur Tharn becomes FL)
    - If Abnur Tharn becomes an emperor, similarily as the reachmen, he can choose to leagalize daedra worship.
    - - Unless the worship legalized, it is forbidden to hire the undead units.

    Objectives
    - Controlling/subjugating one of the major regions of Tamriel (High Rock, Valenwood, etc) would get the faction a new special character.
    - Overthrowing the Longhouse dynasty = becoming an emperor. Would give the faction a new special character.


    Special Characters
    - Varen Aquilarios - Can build one more fort in a region he is present in (assuming he is garrisoned in one of these forts)
    - Abnur Tharn - A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions.

    Worm Cult
    Factions Rules
    - Necromacy is forbidden acros Tamriel, thus allying to the faction would mean you are its supporter, giving other factions ability to break any deals with factions supporting it. Although, they dont necessarily have to fight them, unless holding lands in their region (unless choosing to support the worm cult fully). Exception for that is Cyrodiil, where they can ignored by the reachmen, without political results. Colovian Estates can even ally to the undead without political restrictions, if Abnur Tharn is alive. Volkihar being held by the undead also doesnt bring political conseuqences to the nord factions.

    Objectives
    - Legalizing necromacy over Tamriel. For a whole region (High Rock, Valenwood, ... Cyrodiil already counts as one) supporting necromancy, or being forced to, the faction would get a new special character

    Special Characters

    - Mannimarco - Can exerminate any settlement (the same settlement only once) . A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions. Can take any settlement with any piece of siege artillery no matter the walls (once per turn)
    - Harcon - Can exerminate any settlement (the same settlement only once). A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions.

    Clan of Crowns
    Factions Rules
    - The redguard factions hate each other. They can make alliance only under threat of Hammerfell being subjugated to other factions (the reachmen invasion can be considered that), and only for as long as the threat endures.
    - The Crowns follow the old ways, thus they are very intolerrant to anything against their traditions. They can never make alliance with any faction holding lands in Hammerfell (except the forebears in some cases) or with any factions supporting necromany/daedra worship in any way.

    Objectives
    - Destroying other redguard faction. Apart from a new trait given authomatically by game, the faction would get a new special character

    Special Characters
    - Sai Sahan - A piece of siege artillery (starting in his army) has one level lower requirements for walls (= a ballista can take what normally a catapult can, a catapult can take what a trebuchet normally can, a trebuchet can take what normally count be taken at all)

    Clan of Forebears
    Factions Rules
    - The redguard factions hate each other. They can make alliance only under threat of Hammerfell being subjugated to other factions (the reachmen invasion can be considered that), and only for as long as the threat endures.
    - The Forebears are less traditional than the Crowns. They would have no issue with other factions holding lands in Hammerfel (if by an agreement), nor making close alliances with other factions. However, samely as the Crowns, they cant make deals with any factions supporting necromancy/daedra worship

    Kingdom of Pelletine
    Factions Rules
    - Elsweyr is ruled by its spiritual ruler Mane Akkhuz-ri (Anequina), the lunar champions (=his heirs) are Shazah and Khali (each faction have one). The Mane (Anequina) decides about outside policy of the khajiit, which both factions must follow.
    - Only way to change this is internally, if the khajiit factions fight each other (while in the same time they stil should follow deals with other races done by The Mane). In such war, the mane, nor the lunar champions can be killed, or participate in it anyhow. Only if one side decisively wins (the other faction has one settlement left etc), they can destroy the faction (while the mane/lunar champions of the faction would be still alive lore wise), or let the faction alive, but the control of the mane and foreign policy would be given to the winner.
    - If the mane Akkhuz dies, one of the lunar champions shall become the mane, based on agreement betwen the factions. The faction the new mane would be belonging to would have control of all his powers. This cannot be a subject of war (as Shazah and Khali would never fight each other). If the factions would be unable to reach an agreement on this, the admin would decide (based on amount of settlements each factions controls in Elsweyr etc...).

    Objectives
    No other races can control any settlement in Elsweyr. Destroying/subjugating the other khajiit faction would get the fation a new special character

    Special Characters

    Kingdom of Aneqina

    - Elsweyr is ruled by its spiritual ruler Mane Akkhuz-ri (Anequina), the lunar champions (=his heirs) are Shazah and Khali (each faction have one). The Mane (Anequina) decides about outside policy of the khajiit, which both factions must follow.
    - Only way to change this is internally, if the khajiit factions fight each other (while in the same time they stil should follow deals with other races done by The Mane).

The faction the new mane would be belonging to would have control of all his powers. This cannot be a subject of war (as Shazah and Khali would never fight each other).

    Kingdom of Valenwood
    Factions Rules
    Government in Valenwood is destabilized, due to Camoran dynasty being divided, and due to other seats of power present. If there are no characters within the factions with these ancillaries: Wilderking, The Silvenar and Elden Root King, the faction cant make any important political decisions.

    Objectives
    Stabilize the situation in Valenwood by ending Blacksap Rebellion (based in Cormount), and by pushing The Empire out of Valenwood. As long as Blacksap Rebellion is not ended, they cant make any important political decision (as the three ancillaries), and the FL is not considered true king of Valenwood. Summerset Isles (considered allies in this point) had sent the Jade Dragoons to deal with The Rebellion themselves. Valenwood can choose whether it is considered help or an enemy act.
    - Furthermore, any actions considered to be against The Green Pact can Valenwood use as a reason for war, and peace cannot be made with such factions. Against the Green Pact also is if foreign races hold lands in Valenwood. Exceptions: the altmer (if allies), the khajiit (if the factions are part of a newly created Aldmeri Dominion), the wood orcs (if they control only Barkbite Stronghold in Valenwood).
    - For controlling all of Valenwood the faction would get a new special character.

    Special Characters
    - Edheleron (The Silvenar) - Prevents enemy from taking a settlement/fort she is present in with a spy.

    High Kingdom of Summerset Isles
    Factions Rules
    Starts with Veiled Heritance movement as their vassal. Unlike them, this faction has less issues with acknowledging other races to be equal to the mer.
    - High Kinlady Estre is married to Prince Naemon, younger brother of Princess Ayrenn. When High King Hidelith dies, and Ayrenn becomes a queen, there could be disputes about succesion...

    Objectives
    Restore Aldmeri Dominion, the faction would get a new special character for that

    Special Characters
    - Ayrenn - Can build one more fort in a region she is present in (assuming she is garrisoned in one of these forts)

    Veiled Heritance
    Factions Rules
    - The Veiled Heritance are a group of altmeri nationalists, starting as a vassal of High Kingdom of Summerset Isles
    - They believe in the racial superiority of the mer over other races, thus they will not accept any deal with other race (unless enforced by the other race), if it puts such race into equal position towards the mer - alliances with other races, being in a realm where the mer would be equal to other race (example: High King of the Altmer makes a joint kingdom/alliance with the bosmer)
    - If their liege (High King of Summerset Isles) makes such deals, it would be a valid reason for The Veiled Heritance to overthrow him.
    - High Kinlady Estre is married to Prince Naemon, younger brother of Princess Ayrenn. When High King Hidelith dies, and Ayrenn becomes a queen, there could be disputes about succesion...

    Objectives
    - Restore Aldmeri Dominion (where the altmer is superior race, not equal to other races), the faction would get a special character for it

    Special Characters
    - Estre - Can exterminate foreign settlements, that have less than 10% of Au-riel followers (the same settlement only once per 10 turns). A piece of siege artillery (starting in her army) has one level lower requirements for walls (= a ballista can take what normally a catapult can, a catapult can take what a trebuchet normally can, a trebuchet can take what normally count be taken at all)


    Forming greater alliances
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    A player can be part of only one such alliance.
    - Being part of such alliance puts you into war with the emperor or other alliances.
    - Creating such alliance gives each faction thats its part a new special character. Furthermore, the alliance leader gets an acillary, that triggers several other ancillaries (Dominion General, Ring of Daggers etc)

    Aldmeri Dominion
    - At least one altmer, bosmer, and khajiit factions required. Lore wise, the agreement can be made only by altmer high king, Valenwood king and the mane.

    Daggerfall Covenant
    - At least one breton, redguard and orsimer factions required. Lorewise, the agreement can be made only by breton High King (legal), King of New Orsinium (meaning he holds New Orsinium) and king of Hammerfell (self proclaimed is enough)

    Ebonheart Pact
    - At least one nord, dunmer (not ashlanders or dagoth) and argonian factions required. Lorewise, the agreement can be made only by nordic High King (self proclaimed enough), The Tribunal (the mortal gods) and argonian Archcanon (assuming slavery is abolished)


    The Rules
    - Time limits will be strictly followed (as we have many players).
    - Time to play your turn is 24h. The Admin may ocasionally grant a 24h extension ONLY if you ask for it. If you dont, and are late without any communcation, you will be skipped. You will get a sub only if you there is some communication between the admin and you before you are late, you can also appoint a subber. If you are skipped, you can still play before the next player in turn plays his turn. However, time limit for him starts in the point you get skipped.

    - No exploits/bugs allowed.
    Posting defeats, making walls of units on map to disallow enemy agents to move and stomping/killing agents with units, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, intentionally spreading a plague with agents/units, stepping on a merchant to remove him from a trade resource, exploiting AI factions (for example demanding/accepting money or settlements from AI factions), and many more. In unclear situations, admin decides.
    - If the hotseat rules do not clearly address a situation or move in your turn, it doesnt automatically mean it is allowed! Check with the admin before playing your turn!
    - Suiciding your faction is not allowed, and may result into your removal from the HS.
    - It is forbidden to send money/settlements/etc between the factions you play. You must play your factions separately, especially diplomacy (not valid anymore)

    - List of known bugs:

    1) The naval fort bug: No using ships to bypass a fort's or a settlement's Zone of Control.

    2) Ambush fort bug: No luring men in ambush position into ZoC of forts\settlement's as such robbing them of their movement points.

    3) Siege reinforcement bug: when the army is adjacent to a fort or a settlements that has been put under siege it cannot reinforce armies adjacent to him which he should have been able to reinforce on normal occasions. Attacking an army which the siege reinforcements bug applies to is not allowed
    Navy inside ports attacked bug: no using this bug to attack ships which are inside ports.

    4) Yoyo armies\forts bug: no attacking an army which the bug has been used on multiple times. You can see when this bug occurs, as the enemy army enters the fort and then leaves it.

    5) Attacking ships inside the port - Attacking ships that are inside ports is not allowed.

    6) Recruitment pool fill up - Quing up units in the recruitment sloots to increase artifically units/agents maximum number you can recruit in one settlement.

    7) Recruting mercenaries in forts with depleted movement points - Using forts to get illegal maximum movement points to mercenaries in a depleted army.

    8) Using ships to get more movement range - Using ships to give more movement range to armies on seas.


    + we also use the Mergor's Universal Exploiting List
    (only as a list of exploits, therefore without the "Rules Interpretation" part. The rules in the OP overwrite the list in cases when it covers the same topic, such as generating missions and so on)

    Military rules

    - No one turn peace ( although you cannot attack land of the enemy alliance, if they hasnt played their first turn yet. You can cross lands of a faction that hasnt played its 1st turn yet, if your army doesnt stand in enemy territory after its movement).
    - All battles are auto-resolved. Screenshots must be posted with: odds and result screens, mouse over the odds bar to show the ratio, the armies involved with their banners visible on the campaign map, unit card of siege unit must be visible if used to directly assault settlement.
    - 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.Armies standing in a settlement when defeated are excluded from this rule.
    - Heroic victories against players are not be allowed. However, occasionally it happens player cant get any other type of victory then heroic victory. In such cases heroic victories may be allowed, but only if the odds are higher for the attacker than 1:1.
    - You are not allowed to post a defeat
    - Ships cannot leave blockaded ports. No attacking ships in ports using a game bug. It's not allowed to keep units protected by placing them in ships docked in a port. Armies can block ports as well. However, for each blockaded ship in port there must be at least 2 units (therefore, its possible to block only up to 10 ships by this method).
    -Not allowed to besiege a settlement to deny its garrison participation in battle, or to deny enemy retreat into it.
    - Not allowed to build watchtowers.
    - You are not allowed to lure an ambushing army a tile closer to bring it in range of more of your forces. (even for unsuccessful ambushes)
    - Limit of 2 forts per region per faction. At least 4 per fort are required. Its not allowed to stop empty forts from being disbanded by keeping agents inside it.
    - Each unit of siege equipment can be used just once in each turn to take settlement.
    Ballistas can assault wooden walls and forts,
    catapults can also assault basic stone walls/castles,
    and trebuchets can also assault also large stone walls and fortresses.

    - Huge stone walls, citadels and lore capitals cannot be assaulted by any unit of siege equipment, only a siege.

    Additions:
    - Using your units/agents/navies to intentionally manipulate a defeated army's/navy's retreat path. Allies prepositioning their own units for this purpose is also not allowed.
    - Units received from missions are not allowed to move for a turn
    - Besieging a settlement to deny enemy from besieging it.


    Agent rules

    - Spies are not allowed to open Gates on players, unless there is at least 60% (for lore capitals, huge stone walls, citadels its 80%) chance of entering into the settlement. If a spy was has been in city for several turns, you will have to leave the settlement and enter it again. If inside the settlement is at least 1200 soldiers (720 for lore capitals, citadels, huge stone walls ), than a spy may not open the gates anyway. Screenshots must be provided
    - Assassins cannot sabotage and are not allowed to kill family members or generals. Assassins need at least 60% chance to kill other agents, for enemy assassins/spies just 30% is required. Screenshots must be provided
    - Merchants need 60% to acquire other merchant's assets. Only allowed in your own regions, Rebel Controlled Regions, or regions you have aquired Trade rights to. Screenshots required
    - Bribed units/agents cant move for one turn. You can bribe only settlements/forts that your armies can directly march into.

    Settlement rules

    - Destruction of buildings is not allowed. Exceptions are churches of foreign religions. They can be destroyed immediately after taking a settlement.
    - You can also destroy buildings which in their whole tree of buildings (on higher levels) have no impact on you/your faction. Meaning no public order/conversion bonuses, etc. or units/agents available for recruitment.
    - Not allowed to exterminate settlements.
    - Settlements that rebelled to another player may keep its garrison, but cannot use it for a turn. Not allowed to exploit this to spawn allied armies.
    - Two factions can trade maximally one settlement per turn. All spawned units but one must be disbanded.
    Such settlements musnt be in war zone. If hostile forces are within range of a settlement, it is considered a warzone. The range is independent of foreign forts/armies standing in the way. The players should confirm with the opposing side before doing the trade.
    - Taking allied settlements is also considered a "trade", therefore the rule above applies. Not allowed to expoit this in any way - for generating money/missions/rebelling armies/etc. The settlement is not allowed to be sacked, only occupied.

    Just some last things. Obviously, you are supposed to be playing each of your factions separately, in term of diplomacy, for as long as possible.

    You gotta follow the faction RP rules. The main purpose of them is to keep your gameplay lore friendly, although they of course cant cover everything, so try a bit yourself. If you have any doubs about your faction rules, or lore, feel free to ask me.

    Recieving a new special character (via the objectives) will be done that way, that you pick one of your characters (that doesnt have any special abilities already) and admins would randomly assign him one of the abilites.


    The Last thing. There are some armies starting in enemy lands. They can be attacked by owner of the province and vice versa, if they are at war with each other already. Armies that are not at war with owner of such province can freely move.

    Good luck

    Everything is WIP, so feel free to make any suggestions you have on mind. You cant pick factions, tho you might state which ones you like, Ill see what be done about it. The factions will be divided into couples as I want, not as you pick them . However, please state if you want to participate before the couples are known, thus I know for how many factions do I need to make specific rules, characters etc. However, dont join if you are not able to uphold time limits.

    The Hotseat will not start sooner than in a week even if we get filled. Before we do, a hotfix fixing some issues of 1.41 will be released which we will be using. Download the mod now, and help me polish it as much as possible (especially things important for hotseats, so unit stats, etc)

    However good your mod looks Jadli (+rep him people) I won't be bothering you guys with my always-late self. Perhaps I might take over an open faction if I get more free time.

    Well, if we dont get enough players, then we will have normal time limits, so will keep you in mind for that eventuality. Also, the future TES hotseats will be hotseating willl be much smaller, focused on small parts of map etc, no more crazy stuff like IR or this. At least until they end

    I would love to be in a TES HS from the start. And my preferable faction would be Daggerfall.

    I'm in, will edit preferences in when I've had a look at the factions

    alright sooo I'd like to play as Wayrest, and if not then a High Rock faction. I'd like to stay out of Morrowind or Elswyr since I've played a decent amount of either region.

    (-snip blackmarsh suggestion.-) I'd like to express my interest in one of these regions: Valenwood, Alinor, Morrowind,or something Hlaalu maybe?

    Nice. If we get more people than we need, the priority will be given to the players who have proven their reliability (as a hotseat like this needs reliable players). But primarily it would depend on order people signed (except invited players)

    Merge a faction? What do you mean? Everyone will be playing 2 factions, tho The Empire might be alone.

    EDIT

    We are full
