Samurai Warlords: "Conquest of the Empire" -Competition

[barocca]

i think we'll get 16 players :-)

interesting point by Yuuki,

suggestion

once a player has lost their home province they permanently become a retainer of the conquering player?

they remain a retainer as long as their lord "lives"

once a couple of people have been "conquered" ,
then it becomes lord AND retainer vs lord AND retainer?
2v2's?

if both lords have 2 retainers then they could have a 3v3
and so on?


a "retainer" can go traitor and switch sides,
but
1. they must announce they are doing so WELL BEFORE the battle begins,
2. the battle MUST be equal number of player per side
3. the battle MUST be no less than a 2v2
4. the "traitor" can use only 2/3 of the normal koku allowance (not all their troops would stay)
5. IF that battle is lost the "traitor" is out of the game, considered captured and seppuku/executed?
6. seppuku/executed applies ONLY to THAT one battle, from then on "all is forgiven"


we need at least one dedicated RONIN,
so that IF a player has only one retainer
AND that retainer switches sides
THEN they still have a battlefield ally who can help them in the ensuing 2v2

#4 and #5 makes switching sides a risky proposition AND prevents players switching sides merely to weaken an opponent

just ideas
