Kingdoms Map: Rules of engagement
« on: February 02, 2011, 22:29:48 »
Do we have an agreed technology level for this world, or is each kingdom allowed to choose their own?

e.g. is gunpowder permitted? Also, is magic part of this world?

Medieval. :)

That covers a wide time period, can we pin it down yet more?

I think we should make it to encompass the playmobil time period,
1300s, to Mid 1400s.

My own Kingdom tends to be a little earlier,
But that shouldn't matter too much.

OK, so early cannons as in the Knights theme, but not muskets, pistols and blunderbusses from the Pirates? Pirates are permitted to have cannon but not personal firearms?

Yup. :)
Or at least that is the time period I prefer,
Would anyone like to go later? ???

I think we should be more open to match everyone's collections.  :) I need to mix medieval with pirates and vikings and some magic palace stuff and so on...

I am open to magic,
and pirates are ok,
But I would still prefer to keep this Medieval.
There were after all, Medieval pirates. ;)

I suggest we keep cannons off the guns arsenal. Actually that would suit King Iseroth fine with about 30 Berthas and about 50 otehr cannons that would make a formittable artilery but i think cannons and dragons should be off the weapons  list ... I wouldnt mind if they were but then any wars against King Iseroth would finish in 30 sec

35 catapults is the artillery King Iseroth will have and any opponent will have to withstand a rain of 35 boulders simultaneously... now you know why cannons i suggest are off the menu ...  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Once again let me say this is  great base for mediaval wars , allies etc etc , once the tournament is completed as far as the battle between me and grangel is concerned we shall agree the rules of engagement and also have Sir Wolf as a referree. Perhaps these rules can be expanded somehow so a battle can take place between kingdoms over the net, I think it has to be compulsory that each opponent army is photographed so its a proof what army each king puts on the battlefield and use this a reference when using the rules of engagement etc

This is all so exciting  ;D ;D ;D

Tim your map is beautiful, I wonder what it will look like if you don't feel it's badly done.

I agree, I am not a fan of cannons myself, but if we decide to include them I am fine with it. However Dragons should not be used as weapons. They are highly intelligent beings and will not let themselves be used. They are also quite rare. There will be a couple of Dragons roaming my area of the map but you will not easily find them, and after you did getting out a live might be even harder. (It sounds like I have been talking to Ronastoo to much *grin*)

I would also like to ask for a small extension of my lands, the top North East corner would be perfect as I would then also be connected to that body of water. Hope it's still possible and sorry for making this all more complex for you WoT!
