It's in the op of the other thread, atheotes and Greyblades are your team mates.

Whatare the mechanics and costs of recruitment and upkeep? Are the armies of the sworn houses in addition to our starting armies? How does war function? How are territories conquered? Does precise geographic location relative to cities within a province matter, or is battle initiated as soon as one side's army crosses another's borders?

In the op of main thread.
Yes, but they can only be called up in time of war.
You tell me what you want your army to do.
By holding the capital. You can garrison troops.
You can be as vague, or as detailed as you like with your orders. Remember that the other faction may be more detailed though.
The op of the main thread also has a more detailed map, with landmarks and settlements.

When we (the greyjoys) buy longships, do our crews come with them?? and can we use those crews as fighters? ( I assume yes but I am just checking)

I answered The Stranger this question in pm, I'll let him pass it on in the QT. You don't want the other factions knowing these things.

could u perhaps specify in the OP of the real game thread what exactly the effects are of the character traits?

**johnhughthom** · 12-11-2011, 21:31

The traits are pretty much self explanatory. Somebody with a high intrigue is more likely to succeed in a spying mission, somebody with high leadership is more likely to win a battle etc. I don't like putting the exact mechanics in public, interactions between the factions are going to have a bigger effect on the outcome of the game than one extra point of a trait here or there.

This is the most important paragraph in the op:

Westeros: A Game of Thrones is a game that may take some getting used to for many players, much of the game is up to the players to decide. So far as possible, I will try to accept any actions that you wish to attempt. The obvious exception would be orders that include other faction's or NPC characters (orders specifying they behave in a certain way, you can of course target other factions or characters), unless I receive orders from that faction confirming the action.
