OOC Thread

[Ashurnasirpal II]

That's the catch: if you want to attack eleutheroi settlements with your private units, there's nothing I can do to stop you. It's your right. You just need my permission to enter their territory first.

As much as I'd like to agree and it could make sense IC, as for the rules, in the way they are written now, this is incorrect. Maybe Ibn-Khaldun could re-write them but this would seem unfair at this point in the game. There is no special mention that Eleutheroi are neutral all-over in the rules. So, going by the rules, anyone can move their avatar into Eleutheroi territory.

This could of course be remedied with a proper edict, or, say an OOC vote to change the rules? Or maybe just consensus, as I'd agree, RP-wise, it would make sense.

Another loophole seems to be that, the Chancellor, controlling the diplomats, could theoretically make peace with anyone without consulting the council or Basileos.

For anyone who'd think that such control by the Basileos would be too harsh, let's just remember that this game isn't really made to encourage loyalty and togetherness



Also, I've started a little story on Meleagros' past which I will try to have catch up to current events. Trying to flesh out the character and to perhaps create some motivations for interaction beyond the rules
