Any interst in an EB succession game?

[Bootsiuv]

I know there was a thread for something like this a few weeks ago, and I was thinking of participating in that, but it looks dead.

So, I thought I would ask if anyone was interested in doing a succession game with EB.

I would likely be using RTW v1.5 with EB v.0.81a V2. Currently, I've been using the roleplaying money script mod, but we could agree on something different if there is enough interest in the game.

I was thinking about playing as either Safot Softim BiQarthadast (what in the hell does that mean anyways?), or the Koinon Hellenon. The KH would be cool because players would be in different families that would have different regional interests. The Lakadaemonians would favor expansion of the Spartan way of life, the Attikos would favor Athenian policies etc. It would be very cool for roleplaying purposes, with different families eventually arguing for control of various regions and armies.

Might be cool. Then again, if there isn't enough interest, I guess I'll have to wait for EB2 when people are giddy with excitement.

I was going to participate in the older one too, but the "manager" sort of never came back.

I'll play in this one too, either faction.

Good. Do you have a preference?

I took a quick look at that King of the Romans AAR.It looked interesting,so I wouldn't mind trying one of these.However it would be my first one,so I might be a little off at first.But I'll get my act together,eventually.

Oh,and I'd prefer KH,though Carthage wouldn't be too bad.

Can you guys please explain to me what the succession role-play means? It all sounds very interesting but I don't know whats going on. Thanks. :)

That should give you an idea of what should happen.Don't worry about it though.It'll be my first time doing one too.I'm sure the kinks will get smoothed out eventually.

I would also prefer KH, ahistorical as that faction may be.

Once we have about 4-5 players, we should be able to begin sorting out things like house rules, mods, if we'll be using BI (a yes would mean I would have to find my BI disc), etc.

I was thinking that if we choose the KH, we'll assign players to different families, and players without characters in the beginning could play influential citizens, senators, whatever from that city. I'm fairly certain that KH has four family members in the beginning (but could be wrong). Two Lakedaemonians, one Attikos, and one Rhodios (unfortunately, he dies shortly after the game start, often 7-8 years before his son comes of age). If we have more than four players in the beginning, we'll distribute them accordingly amongst the families, and once a character comes of age, is adopted, etc. into that family the next player in line (decided by the order in which people sign up) would recieve his new character.

Now, about faction leaders. We'll likely be ignoring the faction leader trait for roleplaying purposes. We'll have a council that will elect leaders for however many years, and the player with that character will run the game. Detailed write-ups on the state of affairs will be helpful for the players who aren't currently playing the game. A "council" can be held every so often, so the different families can debate different things.

If a players character is involved in a battle, the player currently in power will save the game and send it along to the player who's controlling that general. That player will play out the battle, save the file, and send it back. A detailed write up of the battle is helpful.

I'll wait a few more days to see what kind of interest there is, and then we can finalize things like factions, mods, assign characters etc.

Sorry for the longwinded post.

EDIT: Of course, most of these things could be applied to Karthadastim so if more people prefer them, that would be fine.
