    Factions
    - For this HS I would prefer to have less players, likely 6, maximally 8.

    Faction - player's TWC account (player's discord name)

    Colovia (House Aquilarios) - OPEN
    Nibenay (House Tharn) - JessMan
    Kingdom of Pelletine - Bantu Chieftain (Klodian#3057)

    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.


    House Tharn of Nibenay (Tamriel Empire Faction)
    Factions Rules

    - Both House Tharn and House Aquilarios are part of the Empire, and on emperor's orders they are attempting to add more lands to the realm.
    - The Factions wishes to control Elsweyr (and especially Rimmen), due to Euraxia's Tharn claims.


    Objectives
    - Subjugating the mane or forcing him to give significant lands to the empire (which would have to include Rimmen) would give the faction a new special character.

    Special Characters

    - Abnur Tharn - A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions.

    House Aquilarios of Colovia (Colovian Estates Faction)
    Factions Rules
    - Both House Tharn and House Aquilarios are part of the Empire, and on emperor's orders they are attempting to add more lands to the realm.- The Faction wishes to destabilize Valenwood and Summerset Isles, so they would be vulnerable.

    Objectives
    - Defeating/Subjugating Kingdom of Valenwood (not wood orcs) or one of the Summerset Isles faction 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)

    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 (including Rimmen). Destroying/subjugating the other khajiit faction would get the fation a new special character.

    Special Characters
    - Razum-dar - A spy (starting the turn in his army) can open gates without restrictions.
    Kingdom of Aneqina
    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 (including Rimmen). Destroying/subjugating the other khajiit faction would get the fation a new special character.

    Special Characters
    - Gharesh-ri - "Increases" the level of walls of a settlement he is in. Thus, enemy siege artillery requirements are increased (a ballista cant take anything, a catapult for wooden walls, a trebuchet for base stone walls).
    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.
    - They dont have any grudge with the wood orcs, however the bosmer claim that only Barkbite Stronghold is a lawful orcish land, not the rest of settlements they hold.


    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) and 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 (faction leader of Veiled Heritance) is married to Prince Naemon (faction heir after Ayrenn), younger brother of Princess Ayrenn. When High King Hidelith dies, and Ayrenn becomes a queen, there could be disputes about succesion... The player playing Summerset Isles must let everyone know about the death of High King Hidelith.
    - The faction also starts allied to Valenwood, as they wish to combine forces against expanding Colovia.

    Objectives
    - Defeating/Subjugating Colovia would give the faction a new special character.


    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).
    - They also exceptionally despise wood orcs and wish to remove them.
    - 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...
    - The faction can also revolt, if its becomes stronger than its liege (based on the power graphs)

    Objectives
    - Becoming the rules of Summerset Isles would give the faction a new special character

    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).

    Wood Orcs (Kingdom of Orsinium faction)
    Factions Rules
    - The woods orcs intend to keep all of their clans safe, as they are often being expelled from their lands by other nations. They can never be at peace with anyone who would hold any of their starting lands

    Objectives
    - Holding their starting settlements for at least 15 turns in row would give the faction a new special character

    Special Characters
    - Ulukhaz gro-Drublog - Can take any settlement with any piece of siege artillery (starting in his army) no matter the walls (once per turn)


    The Rules
    - Time limits will be strictly followed.
    - 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.

    Navy inside ports attacked bug: no using this bug to attack ships which are inside ports.

    - 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.

    Is it possible to turn off ingame quests? If yes then I would like to take this option under consideration as they are very unbalanced in that mod when it comes to building a navy.

    Its not possible without having to create a new version, afaik. Well, I can make ports start at lower tiers (as I usually do), so you wouldnt be able to get the best ships through quests for a long time. I always considered quests to be a kind of funny wild card, that can sometimes resolve halted situations

    Anyway, everyone please vote. If you dont, its seems minor lore rules will won, in which case Ill polish the lore factions rules a bit, and add rules for Woods orcs as well.

    Im busy with some last exams, so we will start in a week or so...

    As alternative could be also a rule that anyone must immediately disband any ships (or just any unites) that got from ingame quest.

    I'm against removing quest rewards, I like having that mechanic in the game as it can give a faction the edge in a war

    And the only element of luck required is the type of quest given since the buildings should be equal to all the factions

    Alright, I was thinking how to do it, and in the end I decided that instead of adding Undead it will be wiser to divide imperial factions into Nibenay (House Aquilarios) and House Tharn (House Tharn), one of them will be controll by Arrow2daknee and the other by Speeda325. If we are lucky, I ll get us started today (if not, then Ill finish it tomorrow). Today I should finish editing the scenario and hopefully rest of the stuff as well.

    Alright, the map will look like this

    Gideon (in Blackmarsh) and Port Hunding (Stros M'Kai) are accessible, the rest of the map is out of limits.

    EDIT

    Also upgraded the lore rules from Black Drake

    Alright, the hotseat has started!

    I subbed Arrow, as he is away for a month or two, so House Tharn of Nibenay is up! http://www.mediafire.com/file/c3nos4...ay_T1.sav/file

    (If someone needs a save for testing, there is starting save http://www.mediafire.com/file/ymahz2...ia_T1.sav/file )

    HouseStarkFTW will be my coadmin, so rep to him.

    Good luck to all of you, dont forget to read the lore rules.



    EDIT

    Also, if you are new to the mod/TES, check out my TES guide (just below the main picture in the OP), as this mod has some different mechanics than you might be used to.
