New Kingdoms multi-faction PBM

**Ferret** · 10-10-2007, 16:27

This poll is just to see which campaign people would like to do on the PBM I am planning. The basic rules are each player will select a faction and will have the leader (eg, King) as their avatar. This player would then invent their own rules to run the faction by, such as duchies and counties in the KotR, and which title will be given to the person who actually plays the game (like the chancellor in KotR) and how this person is chosen. Once all factions have a leader then new players will join existing factions and chose a family member as their avatar. This was really just supposed to be very similar to the KotR except that inter faction relations can become much more intense and meaningful and nobles can betray their faction by joining another (this could just be represented as them moving to the other factions lands and helping them out as I am not sure how bribes work in hotseat).

The campaign itself won't start for a very long time (probably at least a few months or so) as I need to make sure every leader has their rules sorted out and made fair (Other players can check them) and I will only start when there are at lest three players per faction.

Please let me know on your thoughts on the whole idea and whether you would like to join

.

Edit: my preferred choice would be the Teutonic campaign because there are quite a few politically different factions and they are all very close together so wars wouldn't take long to develop. The crusades and Britannia campaigns are good backups if more people prefer them as they have less factions meaning that it would be quicker to play. I am strongly against the Americas though because Some factions would be left out and some have massive advantages.

PLEASE ONLY VOTE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PLAYING!

I don't have Kingdoms, but I wanted to comment that this is a superb idea. I hope you carry it off, and if I end up getting Kingdoms in the coming months I'll be joining.

I would join.

bump and the campaign will be the Teutonic one. You can now sign up for which faction you would like to rule and start drafting rules. Looks like Gibsong has already got started on the Teutonic order :). I'll take the Kingdom of denmark and will start on the rules now.

alright, i'll do this. this will be quite the long campaign - awesome

i say one half be teutons, the other half be lithuania. simple. that way we dont have too many factions taking 2 days each turn, etc. u got a good number of players for each faction. its nice, its nice. only thing is, we're going to have to autoresolve battles instead of delegating em.
