Figures I miss a day and we get serious posts.

First, I did take note of changed avatar teleportation requests on the last posts. I am also saving the pms of requests sent to me. I've left them marked as unread to make them easier to find when I can sit down and do the teleportations. Just wanted to let people know in case they were checking their pm read receipts.

I'm sorry it's taking long. A combination of being busy, not being very experienced with console stuff, and just plain letting myself get distracted. I will be sitting down and getting as much console stuff done as possible tomorrow early afternoon. Hopefully if I don't run into any problems that will be enough time to finish it all. If not I'll just stay up late tomorrow night and do it... I'm sorry for any problems the delay may have caused. I'm still getting used to gming this type of game.

To Vladimir, Econ has it right. Edicts can be as specific or not as you want, and can be about almost anything. Generally they don't have to be Seneschal-proof so as to leave the Seneschal no options, unless you have terrible relations with one or all candidates. However, if a Seneschal claimed there were no extra forces to conquer province x as stipulated by edict such and such, consequences would be IC, he wouldn't get in trouble for breaking a rule (like he would if he broke one of the permanant rules), so there might be some situations where you'd want to word it to prevent weaseling out as such as possible.

Econ21 I agree that taking settlements that have ok garrisons with a single general's unit breaks rp (part of the reason I was ok with buffing starting AI stacks). to some extent it can't be helped, I think. I can't really stop people, but I hope it doesn't happen often. I suspect once we grow a bit anyone wanting to conquer territory will be able to get an army anyway, part of the reason I decentralized prioritized units a little. Hopefully that won't be too big a headache for wouldbe Seneschals.

I'd like to reiterate what you said about using other people's generals. Even if nothing else will convince someone, at least consider one could be making longterm enemies if generals that fight with them tend not to survive. Personally I don't think it will be too much of a problem (I was terrified of using generals I had command of, tended to risk and overuse my own instead...).

Reloading is definitely cheating.

AG Agreed. I'm not sure we'll see any problems, but it's good to bring these and the things Econ brought up early to get them out of the way.
