Game Running - Commander War - House Rules

[Graeme Dice]

In this game you are expected to never recruit any units, to leave any non-commander units in the garrison of the province they start in, and to avoid summoning units that are not commanders. No, the nations are not even remotely balanced under these settings, and that doesn't bother me in the least.

Maximum PD purchase = 10.

It would be a very good idea to state what indy settings you're intending to use.

[Graeme Dice]

Let's say level 1 so that the giants don't expand noticeably better

[Graeme Dice]

Any takers? I promise that this game will be horribly unbalanced and broken!

[Baalz]

I'll play Yomi

[Frozen Lama]

Ah hell with it! i'm in. give me........ is EA atlantis ok?

[Graeme Dice]

I don't see why not. Forcing us to attack underwater can't be any worse than letting somebody use one of the two markata nations.

[Frozen Lama]

question: is spells that summon units in battle ok i.e. will of the wisps and such?

Edit: and i vote for indies zero, but i'm not stubborn about it.

[Frozen Lama]

the reason i say indies zero is that i could see someone playing a human nation, and not doing too badly, but they couldn't expand for shi* in this game which would kill it

[Graeme Dice]

Spells that summon units on the battlefield are fine, simply because it's impossible to make a death mage cast something other than raise skeletons.

I think indies 0 is probably a better idea.

[Sombre]

Are people allowed PD? I assume not.

[Graeme Dice]

I don't see why PD shouldn't be allowed.

[Sombre]

Well people are going to have a whole lot of PD in that case, and that equates to a lot more regular units and a much bigger reason to turtle. If you said no pd, people would have to play cat and mouse with their commanders.

[Graeme Dice]

I think you may be right. Any objections to a no PD rule? Other than what you get from events of course.

[Frozen Lama]

well zero pd is pretty ridiculos when everyone has to have a commander in every single provice to hold off scouts. how about a rule about nothing over 5?

[Trumanator]

Is there a reason this can't be multi-age? If it can't be, I wants niefel.

[Graeme Dice]

No reason not to make it multi-age. I'll put you down for Niefelheim for now.

That was the reason I wasn't up for limiting PD right off the bat.

[Agent Smith]

Maybe you could have it so that people will start out with some provinces, to eliminate the whole thing of expansion in the first place?

[Kheldron]

Sounds fun. I'll take Hinnom

[Graeme Dice]

I'll be setting up the game on Saturday.

[Graeme Dice]

The game is now accepting pretenders. The map is in the first post.

[Trumanator]

So can we get a clarification on the rules re: PD?

[Graeme Dice]

Sorry. Forgot to add it. Maximum bought PD of 10.

[Frozen Lama]

Lets get these preteders in!

[Baalz]

Hey Truman, am I missing something or are your starting troops out conquering indies?

[Graeme Dice]

They do seem to be out there. Starting commanders can move around. Starting troops must stay in the castle.

[LDiCesare]

If there's room for more, could I pick Arcoscephale?

[Baalz]

Heh, games already started! :)

[Trumanator]

Oh, I was under the impression that starting troops were permitted to leave. Never fear though, they shall be immediately put out to pasture.

[Trumanator]

DAYUM! I didn't realize how great Niefel PD was! I hope you don't need those Eagle Kings :D

[Kheldron]

I'll be out for the weekend and not sure I can find an internet access. Can I have a postpone?
To say the truth, the game is close to an end for me, thanks to FL, but I just hate to go AI. Kind of counternature

[Graeme Dice]

Done.
