I have to wonder just how much an army of fearsome Dena Pirates costs to maintain. Have you got many of the captains? Those guys are fierce.

My last campaign was as a Romano-Briton with similar goals, but I went with Celtic Christianity. It was a bit more organized than Roman Catholicism at the time, and naturally, no Pope was going to tell me what to do.

Hi all
My preferred houserules - to extent the game length (making it harder) and increasing the roleplaying experience.
- Have only troops of same nationality as myself (except for mercs) in my band.
- Treat lords, towns, and fiefs according to their nationality - same nat = friends. Different = legit targets.
- Only 1 tournamentfight per towntournament (possible to do more ingame).
- Change my facial feature with the game length (ageing).
- allways highest difficulty setting
- Real life experience = no reloading possible, battle wounds, bleeding etc turned on... except for weapon breaking (which happends to much turned on i think - so that's off, besides the AIs weapon doesn't break so only seems fair, stumble i can live with).
- Try to determine a larger goal or motivation for my character from start to drive and affect my actions in game
F.x my current game as Arthur ap Uther (cliche i know) is to unite the British and retake the land from the Saxons, Anglos and jutes.
- take notes as i play f.x spec. accomplishment (great battles, vs who, when,where and the result).
- No women in my warband (including followers) that's my brothers in arms policy
That's all for now.
Cheers

Sergeant at Arms
My general rules, subject to change depending upon how bored I am
- all my units, cavalry included must dismount before battle to join the shield wall, cavalry wasn't particularly widely used, and I just prefer shield walls.
- Have a vague mission in mind at the beginning but allow it evolve organically
- Warband should fit my aim, if I'm playing a ruthless mercenary, I'll have all nationalities, if I'm playing a Briton trying to unite the british against the angles and saxons i'll only have Britons.
- Specialize, no uber archer-swordsman javelin thrower types.
- all names must fit the time period and location I start in.
- "if you can't win run away and live again to fight another day." also known as "throw your men at the enemy and sneak away while they all die horrible painful deaths" Honour is for fools . Unless your playing an honourable type, in which case, TO THE LAST MAN
- Play battles in first person and act like a leader, not a blood thirsty warrior. Your the warlord, while you have to show your presence at the front you should NOT be throwing your life away needlessly, you should only get involved where you are truly needed, and direct your men in other cases, no taking ridiculous risks unless that's something your character is supposed to do.
- if your the aggressor in a battle, actually advance. Don't just sit there and let the AI come to you, Meet them in the field! (if your the defender then staying in one place is fair game)
That's all i can think of right now, i'm sure I have more though

I have never seen a place with 25% beautiful women, to be honest. It's a true rarity to find a woman who's got the looks but also the intelligence and personality. Out of all the women on the face of Earth, I think a good estimate on beautiful women would be around 0.00001%.fabittar said:Froggystyle said:They should make 50% butt ugly, 25% medium, 25% gorgeous. Like IRL.
I'm scared of the hell hole you must live in.
25% in a game is acceptable, though.
So on to my question. Do you live in heaven or what?
@Tigershark: You have a very interesting set of rules that give room for roleplay. I quite like them.
