I'll make my write up, you know that.So sign me in if you wish.
I was thinking about starting my own PBM lately, but not as Poland. Anyway I was thinking about some rules which could make any PBM more interesting (so I think at least).
So here are some of the rules:
1). Only a noble can be granted a title (no matter governorship or office).
2). For newly conquered province's governorship, first in the line is general of the victorious army. If that general is royal (king or prince) then the title can be given to any noble general who took part in conquering that province. Preferably this should be a general who distinguished himself in that particular battle.
3). In case of acquiring a new territory by means of bribery, bribed general (only if noble) is given the governorship of that province, no matter what his v&v are.
4). Normally a governor title is a lifetime privilege. Governors who became disloyal or ashamed the monarch (loosing a very important battle or proving to be a coward not worthy of such privilege), can be stripped of their titles.
5). For the most trusted and valuable governors, governorship is hereditary (after his death, the provincial title is given to his heir - a (new) noble general of the same name as his predecessor, and not the new-old general)
6). Limited number of agents: never more agents (of all kinds) than provinces (of the human player).
7). Don't brake alliances, unless you have a good reason (excuse). If there is no excuse, make up an interesting story explaining your decision (the story has to be based on the current political situation in the game).
8). Always try to marry your heir(s) ASAP.
9). Don't try to make the AI withdraw instead of fighting with your army.
Those are just ideas, and I don't expect anyone to follow them. I just like them and they are some of my rules for PBM (I'll play according to them). What do you think Chimpyang? And am I in?
