Out of character thread IV

[Ignoramus]

Don't worry, I can't afford to rebel. I'm not a simple elector anymore. A Duke has too much to lose.

[Ignoramus]

I just had an idea. It is actually to possible to have a sort of civil war.

If, for example, Conrad Salier wanted to rebel, then he could "rebel"(by posting in the Diet thread) and then he would simply dictate his movements(or ask the Chancellor for the save game and move himself). If he encountered a "loyal" army, you could organise a multiplayer game with as close as possible to the real armies present. Then the Chancellor disbands the relevant units from the two armies. If an avatar dies, the Chancellor could use the cheat to kill an avatar, thus in some way representing a civil war.

What do people think?

I have completed 1180, I have not pressed end turn in case I've missed something.

Hi Ignoramus and Warluster,

My suggestion is to do this by Private Mail between just the two of you.

There is a fairly robust set of mechanisms in the game to let you two scheme away and determine what YOU both think everyone would do and plan accordingly.

You could ask GH by PM as he was a master. Keep in mind he was the Kaiser though

Asking about the idea "out in the open" like this just lets other groups get the jump on you.

Keep in mind you have role play this based on your characters for the best results in the game.

And a final warning. This game has a number of strong personalities involved so things might not go the way you plan it. Given the governmental charters in place you need to know your stuff if you want to do something like this, because you could find yourself on a boat to Western Africa.

Have fun

Darn it, now I realise my mistake! Well anyway, its out of the picutre easily now.

I think you going off on a rampage could work. You are the Prince and as heir to the throne you are pretty much immune too. Just don't die fighting is all :)

Interesting thought Ignoramus on rebellion. Not sure whether it is really good to do it though. Actually on the other hand, what would we do if the game decides one of our avatars is to go rebel in the literaly sense? Had that happen once in my SP campaign with a 4 loyalty family member.

I couldn't see any standing orders for the Household Armies in the Chancellor and Governors Reports thread. Dukes, that means you are giving the Chancellor carte blanche to do what he wants with your men! Maybe it is not so important with the Reich assuming a defensive posture or maybe you are relying on Chancellor to be very solicitous of your views, but it seems a little remiss.
