Should BtSH call it quits?

[mini]

i have the savegame from my AAR we can use...

polybian reforms have just kicked in. Rome has only 5 homeland regions, the rest are all typ4 (allied rulers, so not-controllable avatars)

the limited homeland regions allows for much less governors, which means that the post of governor is much more competitive etc..


I have to check, but i do think it's 1.2

[everyone]

we can't use 1.2 for any pbm that requires rgbs, since its EDCT automatically gives any general you recruit (regardless of whether he's recruited from a type 4 gov or modded in) the "allied general" trait which leads to the client ruler/recuited general traits.
unless we mod out the triggers, but I don't know how.

Aww, starting again? And everyone loved Cotta so much! hehe...

I think, in order to make the game have a much more solid foundation, we need to write our own in-game constitution, so we don't argue about the rules all the time and so on. I also think we need to somehow add the roles of the People more, as these were often the deciding factor in many discussions, arguments and the basis for certain people getting into certain posts.

I also think we need, for roleplays sake, get into the idea of the families of Rome, so that we can play our characters liking and disliking other characters according to their ancestory. Plays shouldn't be offended if they a lot of stick about what their non-playable ancestors did in the past and are blamed themselves, because that's what happened.

Thoughts?

A fine point and good idea. I always wanted families to be more incorporated which is why im trying to word correctly a new type of way to create a family that doesnt require a player to necessarily have so much rank and what not.

Oh yeah, some more. I think we need to involve the city and the people in in the city more. I think we should follow the Roman ways and players should not be able to become Senators until the age of 30, and predating that age can serve in the military and conduct other business about the city. They can become just as involved in the game out of the Senate as they can within.

Followig on from that point, younger Senators need to (generally) have much less influence, and rely on patrons (another adition) until they can become their own man (usually when their patron dies or falls heavily out of favour).

We should also introduce wealth and property (a budget), to further aid the importance levels of players. It would cost a certain amount of money to run for most offices (and the more money you spend over the minimum amount required the more likely you are to succeed in the office elections).

I'll probs think up some more soon.

Hmm it all sounds great, but what happens when the player base is to small and we only have say two or three 30 year olds?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah, I just don't see something like that working when we only have 5 or so players..... which is almost all the time.
