Well...
I suppose I could take up the running of the game.
Several questions for our members:
Caius - if I took over, would you still be able to play as a regular player, or not at all (meaning your cities would go away).
Also - for the general players, if I took over, would it be better for me to be the gamemaster only and not a player? That way, I wouldn't have such an advantage in knowing all the wheelings and dealings and army recruitment and movement in the map.
Were it decided I was going to take over, I would lay out the following rule changes (though I don't think we decided on them yet):
Cities get a 2 to 5% defense bonus per level (ie a defense bonus of 10 to 25% for level 5 cities, depending on what you guys want)
Castles come in three levels, each can garrison 4,000 men and defense bonuses are as follows: 25%, 35%, 45% (ie, level three castle in level four city: 45+8= 53% defensive bonus)
Combat will stay as Lucjan created it, at least for now ( I'm assuming it ran pretty well, but I haven't any experience with it).
Also, cities cannot be built closer than 50km, and the fog of war will be 150km.

Crazed Rabbit: I would hope that you would continue playing as a regular player. I trust you to not abuse your position of power. I think the changes you've layed out are pretty acceptable, though I still think we should get everyone else's opinion on it. Also, if Caius can't continue playing, we could let Motep take over his little backwater of the world,erhg, i mean Empire.*Cough*
Hey! the only thing I have in this game is a bag of skittles!
My Nation shall be fictional, The Kender Empire. The Capital shall be KenderMoore, which shall be in northern Corsica.
I'm in full agreement with CR taking over. I like the city/castle changes. I'm OK with him continuing as a player, and I also like the FOW/city limitations notion.
Well, so far I will add Motep to Corsica, perhaps replacing Caius (in the economic spreadsheet), but he will be one turn behind the rest of us.
He will, however, have 8500 gold to start with.
If the rest of you guys are okay with me running this, please send a copy of your orders you sent to Caius to me.
You don't need to send a copy if you: did nothing or only built (and did not upgrade) cities.
But I think most people upgraded cities or raised troops.
Let's see - I should only need a spreadsheet or two more to keep track of army strengths and locations.
Crazed Rabbit
My turn has been sent.
I trust you CR. Just make sure you do your turn before anyone send theirs in to you.
Ya, I'm going to decide what to do before I view your turns (For resending in the first turn PMs, it won't be a problem). The problem is I'll still know what you did the turn before, but I'll try to do my best to not let extra knowledge influence my actions.
To help, please put 'Question' or something in non-order PMs.
EDIT: More clarifications - each fleet (costs 500, upkeep 55 or 110 a turn) can carry 2000 men, or 1000 cav.
Castle costs - 1000 gold for each level. I'm thinking perhaps it should cost a bit more. Ideas?
Crazed Rabbit
Double post - Sorry.
But I've got a question for all you guys-
Right now I'm thinking training new soldiers means you can't move those soldiers around the turn they're hired- that is, you couldn't hire them and move them 100km, but you could move them next turn. Like a training time.
Or, we could treat soldiers more like mercenaries, where you can hire them and move them the whole 200km the same turn.
Which way do you guys want to go?
Crazed Rabbit
I think that you shouldn't be able to move them the turn you order them built.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:

Hmm. Don't just yet - but depending on what we decide regarding this, you may want to.Quote:

This seems logical to me. They are still settling it.Quote:

Agreed with everything here.
Hey, as long as no one cheats, and we have the purty map I'm hsppy.
Your hsppy? A Hippy! Bad Hippie! *switches to cheesy mimic of greater's gollum voice* Kill the Hippy! Hippy took the skittles! Kill the Hippy! Take the skittles!Quote:

Caius - I know you've built two cities. If that's all you're doing this turn, then you don't need to send me a PM. If you want to upgrade any city or raise troops, you do have to send me a PM.
Crazed Rabbit
Ok, so we have to resend our first order's turns? Or second? I'm a tad confused.
Also, I was a tad confused when Caius changed his name to, uhhmm, well, I'm having issues spelling/pronouncing it, but you get the idea. It was like, where has this guy been? He's got all these posts and I've never seen him before. Theeeen, I finally figured it out.
Resend all your first turns to me. Make sure to include all your orders for city building, city upgrading, and troop hiring.
If I get all the PMs soon enough, I will release the first turn report on Monday.
After the first turn is released, I'll adopt a week a turn schedule like Lucjan.
Crazed Rabbit
Sent.
Okay, I think castles will cost 2000 gold per level.
CR
Sent in my orders.
Okay, we're moving along fine. I'm just waiting on one person (who knows who he is), and I think I can get the first turn report and PMs sent out tonight.
A Reminder:
In some replies, I've pointed out that one move or another (like hiring and moving soldiers) was not possible at this time, but said I'd be happy to, say, hire the same number of soldiers in your capital city. I said no reply was needed if that was alright.
No reply is needed, but this is a reminder in case you did want to change something.
Crazed Rabbit
So, hiring *and* moving soldiers on the same turn isn't allowed
Correct, it is not allowed.
Crazed Rabbit
Ah well, orders stay the same.
Rise of
Civilizations
Thousands of years ago, man languished in small communities of farmers and hunter-gatherers. After time, however, that began to change. Mankind began to congregate into small towns and trade with far off lands.
Now, across the waters surrounding Italy, several towns grew into cities, led by charismatic men. Who would be a great leader, able to transform their one modest city into a great civilization, was yet to be seen.
The process had begun, as the small cities began to expand by increasing in size or founding new cities.

Turn Two has begun. Your Orders are due by Friday.

Nice intro, CR :grin:
Anyway, I see some infidels making settlements on the island north of ours...you have two options:
1. You submit and become our vassal, or
2. You prepare to dig your own graves :evilgrin:
Which one will it be, infidel?
We of Syracuse warn the citizens of Carthage not to land on the island of Sicily. Any colony shall be attacked without scruple.
Illyria states that all skittles must be brought to the "Skittle Palace" to be constructed this turn.
The Etruscans ask that Illyria gets over the skittles
Rome seconds their neighbours proposal.
Epeiros has already dispatched an army to collect the skittles for King Orb. Resistance is futile. EXTERMINATE!
Infidel, eh? We will see whos conquering who.Quote:

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter II: War Begins
It has not taken long for the civilizations across the world to begin fighting with each other. War has broken out in central Italy, as an army from the nation of Umbria has attacked the capital of the smaller nation of Etruscan. The small force hired by the ruler of Etruscan is quickly routed by the Umbrian army, and the handful of men remaining flee to the just constructed Etruscan castle to the south. They have paid the price for poor leadership. The nation of Etruscan is finished, though its ruler may yet survive.
The Umbrians occupy the city and loot the coffers of the fleeing ruler.
In the south of Italy, a great army from Epeiros marches straight at the Roman city of Capua. Such an army has never been seen before in the world.
In other parts of the world, peace still maintains a tenuous grasp, as cities and castles are constructed. Whether the conflict that has gripped Italy will spread is yet to be seen.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Turn Three has begun. Your Orders are due by Friday.
Also, castle defense bonuses are now as follows; 20%,30%,40%, still cost 2k gold per level.
IMPORTANT: Unless told to me via PM or this thread, all nations still trade with each other until their forces engage in physical combat.
Crazed Rabbit
The Roman people demand to know why the Epirotes are moving their soldiers towards Capua. We have made no agressive moves towards you.
If this is what happens when I miss one turn of orders then I'll never do it agian
Appeal to CA, He might be able to negotiate a ceasefire with Umbria. It's unlikely though.
Yeah I see only one option other than Total Annihilation (is that the right spelling?)
Or you could sail away with your soldiers and form an outpost somewhere.
Cant we live in peace?
I'll talk. Do you have any money left?Quote:

Well, Rome will be Rome.
My reasons:
1) I hate Rome.
Misou Roman
2) I hate Rome, really I do.
Misou Roman de.
3) Because I needed to conquer somewhere with my
army-that's-too-big-for-sustained-economy and you were the most convenient target.

5) Because I couldn't be bothered to build any ships.

Also, if you can outbid the Umbrian/Samnite chappies, I'm prepared to switch sides.

Oh? So the Umbrians hired you? This is interesting.
Thanks Faust, much appreciated.
So anyone need a noble? Or want one for that matter?
Nope, didn't hire him.Quote:

Glad to hear it...
Hey folks! Just a reminder to get your turns in, in case you haven't!
CR
My turn's actions are conditional on the actions (and purses) of Faust and CA.
Edit: also, anything I put in my previous PM which I've failed to alter is still canon :bow:
Nevermind...
When are we going to recieve our reports?
Late Sunday, or Monday, as usual. :inquisitive:

I'm on the west coast of the US, so it's still very much Monday. Sorry, but this is going to take a couple more hours (4ish) because I'm going to see a movie in 20 mins.
Right now it's 6:15pm for me, Monday.
CR
Dont worry, at least this continue the road.
You understand me, right?
Rise of Civilizations
Chapter III: War Continues
War has spread across much of the known world. In the North, Venetians have attacked and taken a city of the Guals. In Central Italy, the leader of the Etruscans has been killed. In the south, a great force assaulted a great Roman defending force at Capua, and was repulsed. Many thousands perished.
In the west, the Sardinians attack the people of Kender, and are also repulsed in their attempt to seize a city. Throughout the world, money changes hands between nations and armies are raised.
