Crusader Kings [Concluded]

Good to see your reading the rules Double A, fixed. Having the biggest nose in CK is quite an achievement.

Dutchy of Dublin still open?

I'm lost - On the map there's no Ulster, Munster etc.. Where are the kingdoms located?

[johnhughthom]

Ulster - top right.
Leinster - bottom right.
Connaught - top left.
Munster - bottom left.

[Romanic]

Ulster - top right.
Leinster - bottom right.
Connaught - top left.
Munster - bottom left.

That's not really helping me!

I thought the kingdom borders would be the red lines on the map, but in this case there would be more than 4. I think it would be simpler if you could list every provinces owned by each kingdom. :P

Edit: LOL the OP is already listing this. . Forget my stupid request.

You mean like I did in the op?

Gameplay:

Each turn will be 48 hours, this will represent one game year. Each realm will have a Quicktopic to decide on how to proceed that year, all orders need to be made through the QT. PMs will only be used for individual's orders.

Also, I have no idea what kind of orders are expected of us, and my QT looks rather dead except for Skooma who's as clueless as I am about this game.

I'm expecting many kind of actions such as : Diplomacy, increase/decrease manpower, covert operations, technology fundings, farming etc... but there's no real list of action that can be taken and most of the things in the OP are rather vague (perhaps because I've never played Crusader Kings).

JHT, have you missed this post?

e.g. Can we have a defined list of actions, or some guideline for what we should be doing?

Diplomacy = marriage alliances.
Manpower changes mainly through events.
Covert operations = The Spymaster can give me spying/assassination type orders, I'll leave the details up to you. Each attempt will have to be paid for, the Spymaster chooses how much to spend on an operation. This will determine outcome, as will Spymaster stats.
Farming increases mainly through events, you can choose to focus on Farming or Military tech.

If you haven't played CK before you probably won't realise how much the game revolves around random events, and your choice of how to approach them. This phase is mainly an introduction for the members of each Dukedom to get to know each other. All I really need from each Dukedom is a list of Offices/title holders, whether to offer Jolt lands/money towards a Cathedral, how to approach the tourney, whether to focus on Farming/Military and any Spymaster efforts for thids phase. Next phase each faction will have at least one event to react to, and a number of individuals will also have decisions to make.

For those who could use a map with the Duchies' boundaries shown, here's one I whipped up based on JHT's original.


Yellow = Ulster
White = Connaught
Blue = Munster
Green = Leinster

Yep, just approach the Duke of Leinster, Diamondeye, to join.
