RPG anyone?

[Myth]

I'd only ever join something that uses the 100 years war as a setting, and only if the admin plays the opposing faction. I disliked KotN because mostly we sat around bickering about laws and edicts and some of the people didn't even see what consequences those would have, but they voted anyway. We spent a lot of time groveling before the player who was Basileos and too little time putting up a joint effort of fighting the enemy. Everyone was concerned with getting the most money for their character, be it via trade or lands, or sacking etc. instead of actually doing something worthwhile. The basileos included.

I'm not sure how the other RPGs progressed but if that's what they're all about I'll pass.

I don't have a ton of experience with RPG's, but my goal would be to present the players with a significant challenge from the ai factions, controlled in part by myself, so that they must work together to defeat the enemy, while simultaneously navigating the political system and trying to get their avatar ahead without letting the faction fall apart.

In terms of game, would people be more interested in general with mods they already have, (everyone seems to have SS and kingdoms for example), or would people enjoy going for the exotic mods like Rusichi or BC?

Is the added depth for those specific factions worth downloading and installing more stuff to you guys?
