Anyone up for a Kingdoms hotseat?

[Zim]

Hello,
I thought I'd test the waters for a new Kingdoms Hotseat game. Having been involved of several of the previous ones here I think the Kingdoms campaigns are just the right size for hotseat games, with fewer factions that start off more developed.

The game would be Kingdoms 1.5, with battles fought by the players. I was personally thinking of the Britannia or Teutonic campaigns, as I think they were the most suited for a hotseat game. However, I'd be open to either of the others if the players preferred them.

Anyone interested?

I'd be willingly to play in one! Britannia or Teutonic is fine with me, although Teutonic is probably more in-depth.

Hi, I'm kinda new here, trying to get the EB PBEM started, but I'd love to get into a Kingdom's hotseat! Action would be more fast-paced for sure!

Teutonic or Britannia is fine by me.

Cheers!

That's at least three of us, then.
Only a couple more players and we could do the Britannia campaign (5 factions). A couple more and the Teutonic game is a possibility (7 factions if the Mongols are enabled).

Some thoughts how to set up the game.

Rules:
-48 hour turns
-Console enabled game (with admin faction, basically so if someone drops out and a replacement can't be found the faction can be switched to AI).
-Battles playable
-No cheats (including the blatant kind as well as the 20 merchants in a fort on a single resource one. ).


I'm also thinking of having at least an OOC thread and one for diplomacy. Maybe a story thread if people really want one.

How's that sound?

Sounds all good to me! Hope some more people sign up quicky quick so we can start fighting over which factions we want

Just got word from a friend (TheFlax) that he'll join the game. That's four and counting...

I think if we get at least 6 people we should do the Teutonic game. I think it's the best balanced of the Kingdoms campaigns.

Does anyone have any preferences for how we decide on factions? I could open it up to whoever requests a particular faction first as soon as we hit the number of players we need. I've also heard of games where each person gives their first and second choices...

Whatever happens, I'll take whichever faction is left over at the end.
