    Default [SS 6.4] It is better to be a lion for a day, than a sheep all your life

    It is better to be a lion for a day, than a sheep all your life

    Stainless Steel 6.4 - AR battles hotseat


    Early era campaign

    You are not allowed to take any settlement outside of the red line.
    Borders in Russia: Everything east of Caffa, Oleshe, Kiev, Smolenks and Novgorod is out of bounds.
    And as you can see, Constantinopole, Rhodes, Nicosia and Iraklion can be taken. Everything else in Africa and Asia is out of bounds.

    The mod and installation:
    - You need to install SS 6.4.
    - Important: To make the save work, in your SS setup you need to pick: Savage AI, Disable Real Recruitment, Permanent arrows and Permanent watchtowers



    Factions:
    - I would prefer if this HS had players only in Europe, to allow for better speed.
    - Factions that will not be taken will be turned AI, left to conquer for others.

    Faction - players's TWC account (player's discord account)
    Sicily - REDBOOSTY
    France - DrMac

    Holy Roman Empire - sheep_whisperer
    Portugal - Redstar
    (Redstar#2175)
    Hungary - Ysgramor
    (Ysgramor#4068)
    Norway - Tulkashthevaliant(Tulkas#6241)
    Scottland - yourstotalwarmaster
    (yourtotalwarmaster#2696)

    ( Aragon - DEAD Speeda325(Ze_Young_Kestrel#8810) )
    ( Poland - DEAD - Danius_98 (Danius_98#6989) )

    Rules

    - Time to play your turn is 24h. The Admin may grant a 24h extension if needed ONLY If you ask for them. If you are late you will be skipped. After 24 hs with no response you will be skipped.You can come back and upload your turn but ONLY If the next player hasn't played his turn by then. It is adviced to get a subber, this subber may be from both inside or outside the game. He can know your PW and plans so he can sub you if you cant make it.
    - No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. movement bug, naval attack spam, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, spies spreading plague.. etc
    - Exploiting AI factions is not allowed ( demanding money, regions or anything else to improve your position)
    - List of known bugs
    The naval fort bug: No using ships to bypass a fort or a settlements Zone of Control.
    Spam siege bug: Besieging a fort or a settlement with a force far superior in it, in order to either prevent that army from reinforcing or in order to cut down a settlements income is not allowed.
    Heroic victory bug: No Heroic victories at all. If you get a heroic victory you must reload until you get a different result, and if you cannot get a different result then you will not be allowed to play the battle.
    Ambush fort bug: No luring men in ambush position into ZoC of forts\settlement's as such robbing them of their movement points.
    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.
    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.
    There can be only 1 winner, an alliance can not win the game togheter. They must nominate 1 player as victor. But diplomacy is of course allowed.

    Maybe we make this smaller so it can start sooner? Cut out 3 factions and have it 6 player?

    Yes, I dont expect all factions to be filled, its just the ones you can pick from. Minimun is 3 players, which we have. I have one at least one more guy from discord who will join, so we will have four players (or more). We will start in a few days

    Ill also see about the poll

    Depending on the factions picked, we might want to reduce the map size...someone surrounded by AI might have a bit of an advantage :p

    If we do, I will take the HRE or England (since ERE is at the corner of the map).

    I think the size of the map can stay, as we now have relatively lot of players. My idea is to have one player in each corner of the Europe, which seems to go well. And that is goin gto happen, perhaps it would be best to leave HRE vacant, so everyone can try to take a small piece for himself. But if you still want HRE, sure, up to you . If you didnt want ERE, we coudl it all away, and leave Balcan rebel. If do want it, we could just remove the furtheest eastern settlement.

    Welcome to the community. TO is all yours
    England is theoretically availible, but I would prefer a player per each area with cca 1 AI faction around (Scotland already has a player)

    Welcome back old friend!

    Well, if I may suggest, you could take either something in Scandinavia, or something in Italy, to fill the circle.



    We are starting very soon

    Also, is someone hasnt voted yet, now its good time. For now it seems that we will have AR battles, Early Era, the rules in the OP and diplomacy allowed

    Isn’t this rule a bit redundant?

    In some hotseats some people were using getting defeated as a tactic. They were for example sending a unit by unit against enemy and in the end won a battle they would have never been able to win, which happens due to the fact, that an attacker always has a small bonus in AR.

    The rule means you cant loose a battle, not that you can actually loose a battle and be forbidden to post it... I suppse the rule should rewritten to be more clear.

    Aye it is good to be back! Looked like the HS community could use some players.

    Norway/Genoa/Venice/Sicily all seem great to me, just pick me whatever seems best to you!

    Alright, I think in the current state I will have you for Sicily, unless somebody interestes in playing shows up today. Scandinavia can be taken fast by neighboring factions...

    Just waiting on kolu on the ERE/HRE thing, and then we can start!
