Rules

If you wish to discuss rules please do keep playing unless it is a very important ruling which might result in a replay.

- Time to play your turn is 24h total, this means 24 hours to play both your first and second faction, not 48 hours. 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 subbed, 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.

- 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. Ports cant be blockaded by ground units

Currently seeking new players, anyone welcome to register! Right rules are up for debate (addition/removal and it is by no means a complete list). We can even make this a manual battle hotseat if the players wish. Additionally, I have attached the basic m2tw map below and can provide version w/ a red-line boundary to indicate "Do-not-Cross" regions later once enough players sign up and we agree on factions. My thoughts roughly are to make any faction that isn't played by the humans AI/ turned to a rebel....

What about hs with online battles?

Ai can be cut off from the rest of the factions by editing the map (adding, for example, mountains)

That's an interesting idea, and I'm not opposed. If other players joining want this then I think it would be fun to try. Especially as many of these factions use HA and many skirmisher type troops. However, I will say that we would need a co-admin (should be easy enough to find) as that would introduce alot of extra work that Idk if I can handle alone to keep the hotseat moving quickly.

I am possibly interested in being cumans though I wouldn't be able to play if it were online battles since the mac port version I play isn't compatible with online multiplayer, though don't worry about me if you want to do one like that.

If you wanted to get rid of the AI if doing an online battle hs, it would probably be easiest to just surrender_regions them.

Also I did have one concern I saw in the rules. "trebuchets can also assault large/huge stone walls and fortresses/citadels." makes it really hard for factions with low development, Norway, Cumans, and Lithuania in particular, to threaten important settlements at all since they have no good way of obtaining trebuchets at all. Maybe we could do without this rule, or edit the starting position so all factions start with at least one settlement containing a siege works each?

Also I don't mind having AI factions exist, since it creates threats on all fronts for players with border factions and can create interesting diplomacy where players can convince the AI to help them

**themzr** · September 19, 2021, 03:59 PM

Yeah this will definitely be altered to give every faction the ability to produce siege units. I wasn't hoping to start immediately since this kind of hotseat has never been done. So we will have to explore balancing issues for a week or so.
