New non(exaxtly)-mafia game idea: Torun Federation

[Jarema]

Please, write what you think about it, and if you would like to play it. It is not a finished version.

[LazyMcCrow]

Thanks Jarema. I'll get back to you on this when time to read.

Wow, looks really cool. Has attacking neutrals influence on reputation?

[Jarema]

attacking 'normal' neutral provinces does not.
attacking neutral 'inner teritory': -1 point

Why?
Only 'Inner teritories' are consider part of really civilized world.

Ok, so getting lynched doesn't give the other players a free ticket inside your lands.

Basic game example

It is start of night ten. Only four players remain. They are in two teams:

Team 1:
Jaroslav (red). Reputation: 16
Jarema (dark gold). Reputation: 7

Team 2:
Yay! (blue). Reputation: 3
Ishmael (lavender). Reputation: 15
Ishmael is, in fact, mafia.

For the simplicity, they have 0 gold at start of night 10. Let’s assume that Jaroslav has trade agreement with Jarema, and Yay! has trade agreement with Ishmael. Teams are at war with each other.

Maps

You can see on the map, that each player owns his own capital. Jarema also owns capital of Eastern Reaches, and Jaroslav owns city Port Movais.
On second map, you can see their armies at the beginning of night 10.

Night 10 begins! It will last for 24 hours


Let’s start night management with computing players income:

1) Jaroslav:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3 (base income) + 3 (for owning his starting capital) + X
X comes from trade with Jarema.
X = EV of Jaroslav + EV of Jarema + 5 (let’s say, that is the length of this agreement). Then, that is halved.
EV of Jaroslav = 2 (for 2 cities) + 3 (for reputation) = 5
EV of Jarema = 2 (for 2 cities) + 1 (for reputation) = 3
So, total trade value between them = 13 gold. It is halved (because they are from the same team) to 6.
Total income of Jaroslav is then: 3 + 3 + 6 = 12. This is amount of gold he would get.

2) Jarema

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3 (base income) + 3 (for owning his starting capital) + 1 (for owning 5 territories) + 6 (from trade) = 13

3) Yay!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3 (base income) + 3 (for owning his starting capital) + X (from trade)
EV of Yay! = 1 (for one city)
EV of Ishmael = 1 (for one city) + 3 (for reputation) = 4
X = 1 + 4 + 5 (we assume this length of agreement) = 10, then halved to 5.
So, total income of Yay! is 3 + 3 + 5 = 11.

4) Ishmael

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3 (base income) + 3 (for owning his starting capital) + 1 (for owning 5 territories) + 5 (from trade) = 12

Comment: as you can see, large part of income comes from trade agreements. I suppose that in real game it would be even more so, as you can have agreement with every other player if you (and them) want

Jaroslav’s orders:

I want to attack with all armies from 13 to 12. I also want to move all armies from 14 to 13. Then, I buy as much armies as possible at Port Movais. I also…. (other orders, diplomacy and espionage – not included in this short description)

My interpretation of them

11 armies attacks 12 from 13 (cost: 2 AP). 7 armies moved from 14 to 13 (cost: 1 AP). Two armies bought at Port Movais (cost: 11 gold, 1 AP). He has one gold left, and 16 AP to spent on diplomacy and espionage

Ishmael’s orders:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Please attack with all armies from 2 and 4 to 1. Buy 2 armies at 5. Then…. (other orders, diplomacy and espionage – not included in this short description)
As a mafia order, I want to defile territory 6, targetting armies at territory 9

My interpretation of them

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

14 armies attacks 1 from two directions (cost: 4 AP). 2 armies bought at 5 (cost: 11 gold, 1 AP). Territory 6 defiled, territory 9 nuked. He has 1 gold left, and 15 AP to spent on diplomacy and espionage

I will resolve orders of players in random order (but mafia defiling will happen before anything else). Stay tuned, results will come!

[Ishmael]

You've sold me. In whenever you run this.

[Ishmael]

Looks very interesting. Would you be able to run through an example of a typical turn for us Jarema, in order to get a better idea of how everything fits together?

I will try to do that with limited number of players (lets say 4) and mini version of map later. I am not sure if it will work, but I'll give it try.
