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.

In some matches manual battles against AI will be allowed.

We tilled Skyrim's ground despite frozen toil. We tended the Kwama beneath Morrowind's soil.
We hunted the Wamasu in Black Marsh's glades.
We three hearts had no need for blades.
Then they came from the seas, folded steel in their hands.
They burned down our homes and ravaged our lands.
Akaviri brought nothing but bloodshed and lies.
Our families were slain before our eyes.
With three separate people, they shared a cruel joke -
A choice between death or the yoke
But then our three people knew what must be done
To end the oppression, our three became one.
Forged by War the Ebonheart rose
And drove the Akaviri back to the sea
When the enemies begged for the mercy they lacked
Three voices as one shouted "Blood for the Pact"
Forged by war our story be told No shackles can hold us whether Moonstone or Gold.

Reason: edit
Starting positions will be moreless the same as in Black Drake, only with slight changes for the sake of manual battles, such as similar starting access to cavarly for all factions etc
Feel free to suggest changes to the rules. I would like to keep limitations on spies and siege equipment, otherwise half of factions in Morrowind might die very quickly (lot of factions will likely die quickly anyway )
Re: [TES HS] Blood For The Pact (Manual Battles HS)

"I never asked for this, no more than I asked to be king. Yet dare I disregard her? We do not choose our destinies. Yet we must ... we must do our duty, no? Great or small, we must do our duty"
Re: [TES HS] Blood For The Pact (Manual Battles HS)
Invited players picked their factions, thus there are four spots left (as I added both factions). Gave Dres to REDBOOSTY as asked, thus if cap, ArBo and cow now could pick some from whats left, that would be great
