    If you want to do sneak attacks use your personal army, don't rely on testy Vassals who may sell you out.
    Like i said my opinion does not have anything to do with sneak attacks. For example if i knew before that i would be attacked. I cant call my banners up and ready in all silence. Now i cant do this even if i had information about something sinister before hand.

    It is just a mechanic, nothing else.

    Its quite simple to add "call banners if attacked" to orders.

    Sorry for bring that up.It is just a personal opinion, nothing else.I will not bring it up again. It is all besides the point in any case as the thing i wanted to discuss was the possible last minute declarations which seem gamey to me.

    Don't be daft, I'm more than happy for the players to let me know their thoughts on gameplay. I want to get the results done for this round, then I'll look at making a rule for declarations. I see where you are coming from with not being allowed to call the banners, there are arguments both ways. I simply feel in terms of game balance and simplicity not being able to call unless at war was the best decision.

    Thank you. I guess i just have the urge to ramble about something while being anxious to read what have happened. It is just telling how good game you have created.

    It seems we could be endlessley specific with our orders.

    Each member of the Martell family has 10 elite bodyguards posted outside their rooms each night.

    Each Martell must drink 1.5 l of the purest water, eat 3 full meals a day, and sleep 6 hours a night. .

    Each Martell must heed the call of nature in the appropriate space, unless immediately occupied otherwise.

    Martells may not faint, trip, or otherwise embarrass themselves before the men.

    The Duke of Lemonwood must drink...
    Vitiate Man.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    It's not like you could be overrun in one turn, I would wager it would take at least a couple of turns to take The Reach. That's if you were not putting up a fight for whatever reason.

    I don't know how john is doing the troop movement or if the banner-mans land is occupied it equals his army gone or if only you sign a peace treaty and give away the land does his army disband?
