Re: Rules Discussion
I didn't realize the king's purse was being added to his income. At 4k that does seem unbalancing (sorry Myth). I'd be ok with the proposal above but maybe another option is just to remove it altogether? After all if the nobles aren't paying taxes then where is the king's purse coming from?

Re: Rules Discussion
That is another option, but my fear is that is would cripple the faction economically, especially compared to the huge income boosts the ai gets.Originally Posted by phonicsmonkey
My reasoning is that these purses come from various small personal holdings and estates (and businesses, etc...), distributed throughout the Kingdom, rather than from taxes.

Re: Rules Discussion
Yeah you're right, we need the cash in some form.

Re: Rules Discussion
Anyone who objects should try to do so before the next turn. If there are no objections, I will put this into effect starting turn 3.

Re: Rules Discussion
I support the measure for you reasons you've outlined. It is the internal strife that makes these games memorable!
Re: Rules Discussion
Sounds good to me.
Re: Rules Discussion
I'm ok with this. FYI I am not viewing this game as a me vs. the rest or as "who gets to be the King". I want us as players and strategist and capable tacticians in battle mode to work together to make this otherwise quite underprivileged faction position work for us and at some point turn Hungary into a Great Power. We all know we can do it in SP, the beauty of this is team play and doing it this way, with the AI backed up by human intelligence. Hence my 4000 gp per turn doesn't mean I get to do what I want, it means we get more units to fight the other factions with. I command them sure, but If the King falls you all fall with him. If he wins, you all benefit from the security that victory provides.
If the ultimate goal for this is civil war so that someone else gets to be King I'll just quit right now and leave you guys to it.
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
