Aaahh... the blissful but brief period after posting new rules before HTAPA comes and punches holes all through them....

It's come to an end already...

Rules updated. Castles exempt from barbarian invasion.

Wonderful.


Don't mean to pratter on, but are there any rules on new clans entering the game getting a castle?

'Cuz it seems to me that a clan which doesn't have to worry about a castle has a pretty big advantage over one that does.

 

[RAOUL]

You little nerdlingers need to realise that Akkadian is K.I.N.G.

100% unadulterated pure heils/respect for Akkadian.

 

[Blink.]

From what I've heard, Akkadian is just like me, except stupider. Besides, wh are you all comparing me to Akkadian anyway?

 

[Moss]

Slight mania, lack of social mores, almost identical writing style.

The fact that you showed up around exactly the same time his latest incarnation appeared doesn't exactly help your case either.

 

[Blink.]

Ah well, what can you do? Eventually this guy will come on at the same time as me and then hopefully it'll all be sorted.

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Do people really think Blink is Akkadian?

This never even occurred to me. They seem nothing alike.

While Akkadian is annoying in a "holier-than-thou", "I like to brag about my IQ" sort of way, Blink is more of an immature prat.

 

[Night Ninja]

What does Akkadian have to brag about? That he has one less digit in his IQ than the rest of us?

 

[Moss]

Ego is one part reality and four parts delusion.

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Just as Moss said. Bragging rarely has anything to do with reality.


Besides that, I know a few people with supposedly high IQ (or people who did very well at school) who are complete ****ing morons.

Yeah well once they get a hex they're technically a kingdom. So if I don't grant them a castle they could only sit there with their 1 hex twiddling their thumbs.

If they get a hex I'll whack a stronhold icon on it, make it worth 6 points, make it count as a castle. But I won't change the hex. That way they have a sort of make**** foothold-stronghold which reverts back to what it was before if it gets destroyed

 

[Blink.]

Perhaps you could emulate single player Warband, in that you need a 'right to rule' or something, not sure how it would work, but it would help. You could have rebel kingdoms, and if deemed not worthy, then the other kingdoms would pounce on them. Also something for people not in the campaign, how about brigands? If people who aren't in clans want to get in on the action, how about getting groups of players into brigand groups where they stand between hexes, and when one kingdom marches on another, they first have to fight the brigands to get through. Again, just an idea, probably stupid but it's something to spice it up. edit: plus more people will get involved, without having to be mercenaries.

I'm not too familiar with right to rule, I haven't played singleplayer for a while so you'd have to suggest how the rules would be affected.

As for brigands, after opening up f**ktonnes of hexes to open attack from any old bunch of randoms, I don't think there's any real remaining barrier to players getting involved now.

Cool, sounds good.

So if a clan took over an open plains to start their kingdom, their castle would effectively be a field?

Haha. Losers.

Hahgahahahah yeah

I mean I don't wanna use a catle because a massive stone fortress sprining up like that is silly.

Maybe we could find some custom map with a little wooden palisade stronghold?

That'd be awesome.

If it was a good map you could even lob one on each border as an "outpost" sort of thing.

 

[Moss]

When you think about most of the settlement Hexes are pretty much castles already. Port Assault and Village are both fortified towns and Field by a River has a castle just sitting there on the side lines.

Actually I've been meaning to ask you about that.

I've noticed a lot of players with racist names on lately. Is there guide lines as to what exactly crosses the line when it comes to that?

"Using names that others may find offensive"
and
"racism"
are both listed as no-nos.

 

[Scorch!]

Its usually up to the discretion of the admin, but clearly racist names and such are a no no.
