    I'm hoping to get all 55 faction slots filled before I start. The Pope will be controlled by me as the unbiased moderator of the game.

    Combat is still being finalised, but it probably will be a similar style to RoC, without the element of chance.

    But chance helps to make it more realistic. There can be little bonuses and that to different factions to make the units more different, and thus take some of the burden off of chances shoulders.

    There will be some element of chance, but often it won't determine the outcome of a battle.

    Well, in MTW, it depended. If you were Catholic, he made your life miserable by threatening you with excommunication if you tried attacking other catholics. If you were Muslim, he made your life miserable by ordering his cronies(all the Catholic kingdoms who were capable) to crusade against you. If you were Orthodox, he mostly left you alone, unless you took direct military action against him. THEN he would try to make your life miseable by telling the cronies to crusade against you.

    I believe Sarathos, that Ignoramus saw that Normandy was a English Possession, and retired it from the factions list. You can have Brittany, if you want something nearby.

But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    Yes, sorry Sarathos, but Normandy's part of England. Brittany, Maine, or Anjou are still strong French fiefs.

    I see Norman Italians on the map, but not on the faction list. If they're in the game, I'll be them. Otherwise, I'll take Serbia, but the Italo-Normans is my first hand pick.

    Good, we now have 17 players. A few more, and I might be able to manage the non-player factions.

    How come France is divided, yet the Roman Empire isn't?



    I swear, that drove insane in XIICG.

    Meh, anyhoo, good luck.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
