I just meant that they make more money, as proposed in the op.

Scaling up the King's funds as the empire got bigger might be interesting, but also a bit of a headache...

Unfortunately I had planned my recruitment and disbanding with 4000 gp/turn in mind and am now going in the negatives. Do we get loot after defeating armies?

Here is the save. I propose the 48 hour deadline exclude weekends and common holidays.

I will need a bit more time to ponder at the map before I give you an IC reply guys. NB I'll upload the finances after I have dinner, it's 10:30 here and I just got back from the gym so, food first, spreadsheets later

Yes, you get the loot when you ransom people or sack a city.

So the purse rule is going into effect the following turn, but I also have a request of you guys. Can I rely on you all to be in charge of what all belongs to whom. I can track agents and provinces, but keeping track of all the armies is a lot of work.

What this would mean is that in your beginning of turn status report from me I would no longer list what military units are under your control. If it is important to people that they continue to receive this, it would make things far easier on me if players could give an itemized list of their armies (recorded by captain or general name), and of the individual units they own inside other players settlements or armies.

Is everyone okay with switching the turn limit to 72 hours?

**Nightbringer** · 01-27-2012, 07:03

I have another question for everyone.

What do you guys think about getting new general units for the game?

Should we just wait for them to crop up naturally?
Are players allowed to recruit them? (if so, I would say that general is a vassal of theirs automatically)
Should I use my super GM powers to ensure that one gets made as soon as possible whenever someone is on the waiting list?

**House Stark** · 01-27-2012, 08:26

I think we should wait a few turns and if a new character hasn't cropped up, then you should use your godlike abilities to create one. We don't want people dying and immediately coming back to life, but we don't want people sitting out forever either.

And it makes sense in game too; it would take a little time for titles to be sorted out after a lord died without heirs before a new lord would rise to the position.

I prefer the 48 hours, its too long if not. But as you said there seems to have been problems with meeting the deadline.

Im against, but open

Hey everyone. What would you all think of including a rule where you can use a spy to steal money from another faction or another character.

The way the mechanics would work is that you would have your spy infiltrate a city, then let me know in your end of turn report that he is attempting to steal from that city. I would make a calculation based on the spy's subterfuge score and let you know.
