KoJ please, while the Byzzies were fun in the last Crusades hotseat I did a while back, I'd like to try something different this time.

Sign me up for Antioch if there's still a free slot

[TosaInu]

There is just one patch for Kingdoms right?

Now I don't want to come across all dictatorial but I would strongly suggest the following rule set for the best experience:

- 48 hours to play each turn, extensions granted at request, GM to skip turn if deadline missed with no communication
- All battles between human-controlled factions to be autoresolved
- No spies to be used to open the gates of settlements or forts
- Siege equipment may only be used to open gates as follows: Ballista can open nothing, Catapults can open wooden walls, Trebuchets can open stone walls
- No crusades or jihads can be called or joined by a human player
- No destroying buildings for cash under any circumstances
- If an army is beaten in battle by a faction that is after them in the turn order that army may not move on the following turn. An army which is immobilized in this way may not be attacked on the following turn by any faction unless it has retreated to a fort or settlement.
- No exploits (surround-and-destroy, merchant fort etc)

Let me know what you think of this - it's your game after all so I'll just go with what the majority wants.

Any faction is good phonicsmonkey,

It's my first hotseat ever, my second Crusade game and maybe my 5th Kingdoms campaign: don't call me a vet please.

-clear
-clear
-clear, does that also mean spies can't enter cities? In RTW a spy inside a city automatically gave a chance?
-clear
-clear
-clear
-not clear, also how can player 3 know army 2 has been beaten by player 1?
-I'm not up to date with all the exploits that are there

I'm fine with any or no rule, but I like a list of exploits (I might use it otherwise thinking it's a good way to defeat my enemy).

Edit: I should be at 1.5, can you please open my savegame to test all is ok? Password-test.rar
