Hey to all the RTW veterans and enthusiasts. Since it's pretty hard to have a proper RTW hotseat, are any of you interested in a succession game instead? A succession game is where we start a campaign with a faction and everyone plays either a set number of turns or one faction leader's lifetime. During that time you play SP and set the priorities for the factin, give accounts of what happened while you were ruling, and you pass on the save after your FL dies or x number of turns go by.
Writeups with in-character posts of view and with screenshots are ecnouraged but not mandatory. You are also encouraged to roleplay your Faction Leader to his traits, to reflect the kind of leader he was. Or you can be the kind of leader you'd want to roleplay (builder/defender, glorious conqueror, diplomat, master of assassins etc.)
I would set rules as:
- A gentleman's agreement on not reloading spying/assassination attempts
- Not selling map info/alliance for more than 500 denarii
- Not using surround&destroy on enemy agents and armies
- Not suiciding mad/incompetent family members if they are the FL, FH or have a position in the Senate (if Roman)
Now faction choice remains to be made, though I'd actually give the Julii a try just for history's sake and for the sake of great roleplaying. I'm sure Reluctant Samurai would vote for Armenia though I admit I know next to nothing of the nation during this time period and RPing will be much harder than for the infamous red toy soldiers.
The games will be played over at the .org's very own Throne Room (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?38-Throne-Room). As a bonus I'll make a nice image and signatures for the game!
