Middle Ages

[Ignoramus]

The year is 1066. In England, William the Bastard has become William the Conqueror, and England is now under Norman rule. In Spain, the Reconquista has suffered greatly with the split of the Christian kingdoms in the north. France is greatly divided, with independent counts and dukes defying the authority of the French King. Trouble brews in Germany and Italy, where the German Emperor is having difficulty keeping his large empire together. The Byzantines must encounter a new threat in the east, with the Seljuks pouring into the Levant.

Each turn will represent a year and will last a week. Your generals will receive vices and virtues and ancillaries which effect 5 main characteristics of theirs: Loyalty, Acumen, Piety, Chivalry/Dread, and Command.

The Vices and Virtues list is almost formulated, and the rules are almost compiled. If you want to enjoy a deeply interesting and engaging medieval game, then I urge you to join.

[Motep]

Give me the Byzantines!

[seireikhaan]

Seems interesting. What are you going to do with the spare factions? Run them yourself? I'm assuming we won't get 55 people to play.

Oh, and I'll be the Seljuks.

[Warmaster Horus]

Good luck on getting the amount of people you'll need/you want.

I'm England! For the Commonwealth!

[shlin28]

Go HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE!

[Warluster]

I'll be in for Venice!

[Sarathos]

Which colour is which?
But throw us Normandy please

[shlin28]

Isnt Normandy part of William the Conquer of England's possesion???

[Conqueror]

I'll play the Almoravids!

[The Stranger]

Hungary - Arpads FTW!!!

btw why dont the almoravids possess morrocco?

[Lord Winter]

Scotland!

[Conqueror]

Hungary - Arpads FTW!!!

btw why dont the almoravids possess morrocco?

House of Árpád is good

And the Almos do have Morocco. It's the southern Iberia that they don't possess - it's still under Moorish control in 1066.

[Caius]

I'm as England!

[Warmaster Horus]

Too late, Garci. I'm England.

[Caius]

Too late, Garci. I'm England.

Im very sorry, I did not see your reply.
I'm Scotland, then,.

[shlin28]

Destroy of Hope is Scotland...

[Caius]

Grrr!

I will be Russian Principalities then.

[woad&fangs]

I'll play as Bohemia.

[Ignoramus]

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.

[Ignoramus]

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

[Motep]

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

Yay!

[seireikhaan]

Yay!

Now why are you celebating so over the inclusion of chance, Motep? Is it because you know you stand no chance of winning otherwise?

Chance makes things more fun!

[Ignoramus]

This is an example of the King/General information scrolls:

[Caius]

The Pope will be controlled by me as the unbiased moderator of the game.

Sorry, I have never played MTW. What the pope does?

[Sarathos]

Wtf Ignoramas ?, can you please add me

[seireikhaan]

Sorry, I have never played MTW. What the pope does?

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.

[Warmaster Horus]

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.

[CountArach]

Denmark!
