A KORAH hotseat with a few changes to the starting positions:



Oldstones will be a citadel
Casterly Rock will be a citadel
Highgarden downgraded to fortress; Brightwater Keep upgraded to fortress.
No more wooden castles. They bore me
Some castles would be slightly more developed than others. Example: Stonehelm, Karhold, Castamere, etc.
All regions with mineral resources will start with mines built.
A few changes in starting traits.
Some modification to king's purses, mayhaps.
Turn order changed.
Yronwood is now properly developed.
Castamere now has a gold mine.
The Arbor is now a city.
Victory conditions slightly tweaked; whoever fulfills them first wins

_______________________________

It should become immediately apparent that some factions, due to having completely different and/or not conflicting objectives (or even having shared objectives) are pretty much natural allies. For example, both Arryn and Durranion have to destroy Mudd, and they have no conflict of interests over the settlements each needs to win. Besides, they are together in the turn order (yes, I did that on purpose). The same could be said of Mudd and Stark, or Mudd and Bolton.

These be the files. Note that you do not need them to play, but they're here so you can check out the changes. Make a back up of your files before overwriting, heh.

http://www.mediafire.com/?llblp22ptr2nc8p

- Rules :


- PM or VM the next player as you post your turn on the thread so the game moves as swiftly as possible.
- If you know you will miss your turn; nominate a sub and provide them with your password. If you miss your turn and haven't nominated a sub, you'll be skipped.
- Heroic victories are not allowed unless the same outcome is reached three consecutive times (save and load), the Admin always checks this to be sure.
- No bug abuse! When you think someone has used a bug report it here and the admin (me) will look into it. A list of common bugs and exploits can be found somewhere in this forum, but I feel rather lazy atm so look for it yourselves
- No sailing from a blockaded port without first defeating the blockading ships.
- No sallying forth in a siege to deny your besieger the opportunity to sack your settlement.
- Minimum of 4 units per fort, 2 forts/province
- Post pictures of battle odds, and results
- If any army of yours gets defeated, it shan't move next turn. If a defeated army of yours retreats to a settlement, you are not allowed to sally using the defeated units. Exception: Reinforcing armies in defense, when based on forts or settlements, even if defeated, don't lose movement points.
- Settlements gifted should disband all units save one.
- No watchtowers. They are permanent, therefore they block forts. A player can easily make advantage of this, at times even unintentionally.
- No building destruction. Burning down everything is a 'cheap' source of gold, and feels rather weird. Not that I never do it or anything, but I'd make it a rule in my hotseat.
- No adoptions; use your characters with caution. No marrying your noble ladies to randomly generated characters either; nor adopting generals after you win a battle with no leader; Named characters you start the game with, CAN be adopted (for example, Jonos Mallister, who is not a family member at game start, but is still a character; same for Raymund Vance and others).
- If the ruling house changes, the player must change as well ; for example, if both Tristifers die, and some bloke from another house rises to power... whoever played House Mudd previously would have to resign and give the spot to someone else.
- No sharing of ancillaries! Some of them give extra command, and that's easily exploitable to give many generals the crucial night fighter trait.
- No using of princesses/noble ladies to steal generals! Would you marry off your daughters to a sworn enemy? No? Me neither, you see

Morton Royce was returning from the North, and upon landing on the northern shores of the Vale, he encountered a party of troops sent by House Mudd to reinforce their efforts to ransack the Vale. Ordering an assault, he and his Valemen overran the firstman group.

Lord Belmore was not willing to let the Eyrie fall without contest to the firstmen, and so he launched a desperate attack to drive the invaders back. He knows that they will return, but for the moment the Eyrie is spared.

Interesting is not the word for it, you foul betrayer!!!!!

King Tristifer was planning the total eradication of House Arryn when the news of the Ironborn betrayal came to him. Anger flooded his bones and he ordered an almost total withdrawal of the Vale to combat the Ironborn menance. He also put out bounties on Ironborn settlements, 3000 for a settlement and 1000 for a sunk ironborn fleet.

Meanwhile in the south news emerged that Gulian the Stormking had not been slain in the famous duel between him and Lord Tully but only been badly wounded (I am taking this from the fact he is walking around the Crownlands currently) and so King Tristifer ordered his release from his captive state on the condition that he agrees an alliance between the two states.

As for the betrayal i didn't ask for Military Rights with the intent of betraying you (could have executed this without it) as i only planned to betray you within the last few turns. I was going to drop this HS but the backstab looked fun, plus i didn't enjoy the idea of taking regions in the Stormlands so far from the Isles, at least this way the HS remains interesting for me. I was also listening to the theme song from Vikings and it felt so right lol.

The following settlements have fallen to the Kingdom of Iron: Oldstone - Seagard - Raventree - Riverrun - AcornHall - Pinkmaiden - GoldenTooth - Hornvale - StoneyHeart. Silverhill and Fairmarket shall also fall next turn. The once proud capital of House Mudd has been burnt to the ground on the orders of King Qhored. The Ruins of Oldstone shall now forever stand as a warning and reminder to those that dare call themselves enemies of the Ironborn.

Terrence Blacktyde has laid siege to a fortification at the crossing of the Green Fork and the Trident. A risky move, but King Qhored has deemed these troops expendable.
