Non-mafia game: Crusader Kings [In sign-ups]

[johnhughthom]

Ireland 1070 AD, five Dukes vie for control of an entire island, five families eager to rule and proclaim their dynasty the rightful Kings of Ireland. There are numerous ways this can be achieved, diplomacy and marriage, war, assassination and perhaps other ways for the unscrupulous or the righteous.

Roles:

Duke of Ulster, Meath, Connaght, Leinster, Munster. (Map above isn't quite accurate, I will post another if/when the game starts)

Each dukedom will have one Duke and various other family members to help rule the realm, they can be appointed as ministers, married off to other Dukedoms or given count titles to rule a portion of the realm. Each player will have stats that will govern how effective they are at each aspect of governing a demesne, each stat will have more than one role in the game.

Of course it wouldn't be Crusader Kings without a wide variety of random events, how your dynasty will be affected by these will be down to your response to them.

Any number of players will be accepted into this, even after the game starts. If I get a low number of players I can cut one or two Dukedoms out, probably looking at a minimum of 15 players for a decent game.

This is what you are aiming for, are you devious enough to get there?

If enough people show interest I will ask for a slot on the timetable. Any ideas, constructive criticisms welcome.

Hey, I just bought HTTT a week or so ago, I can't just be throwing money on a new game so soon.

[Double A]

I'd hardly consider a game released in '04 "new"

John, would you like me to add [In Sign-ups] to your thread title? I find it helps attract attention.

Yes please.

Bah John, couldn't you just make normal mafia games?

Alright I'll join, but hopefully this isn't too complicated.

It's the "Gameroom" not the "Mafiaroom"...

Anway, I'll try to rejig the format a little, to give you some reason to do your boring fascinating tallies and so forth. Good to have you.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Me too...

Awesome, great to have you Psycho.

Paradox are giving away a copy of Crusader Kings, from GamersGate, to everybody on their newsletter list. I'm not sure if it's too late to sign up and receive it, but if anybody would like my code (I can't guarantee it'll work, but don't see why not) drop me a pm.

[Double A]

I'm too busy playing Warband to get CK.

[Romanic]

Hrm, it is useful to get Crusader Kings to play this (not a) mafia game? Never played CK.

[johnhughthom]

It's useful to play Crusader Kings to make your life complete. It might make some aspects of the game a bit more clear, but not having played it shouldn't be an impediment.
