What about a minigame set for a FEUDAL WAR!!! ?

[Nuclear Winter]

Ok ok , the Dejon Clan has expressed their wish to be militaristic and comerciant...
Tell me what you want to be! And tell me in wich province does your city is (if you are currently a city governor, then better... and remember, you can be the lord of north province 1 for example,a nd still have your oponent be the ruler of southern province 1) (ah, refer to this image when looking for the provinces http://members.aol.com/arnelos/regions.jpg )
Yes, portugal will be in :P

[Togas]

Place the Togas Clan in Castile.

The Togas Clan color is Persian (Royal) Blue

We will be Industrious and Religious

UU will be the Royal Horsemen (Like the Iriquois Mounted Warrior) ... 3/1/2.

Tentative request:

NW, please make the Maser Clan be in Pamplona (if that is regionally feasible )
I don't have a color preference, as long as it isn't pink
Traits are (to be determined once game settings have been finalized)
UU to be the Spanish Hoplite (1/3/1)

Also, what is the barb setting to be? And is the mod going to have a goodie huts, etc? Map size? Anything you can tell about that would be helpful for finalizing my choices. Thanks

[Togas]

I was just thinking ... are we going to be starting in the Middle Ages? If so, I'd like to change my UU, and any of us who have Stone Age UUs should also consider doing the same.

--Togas

[BigFree]

Togas, just knock he other Civ's back to the stone ages and you won't have any problems!

NW, put me in for the Vikings! But make them Militaristic and Industrius!

[BigFree]

NW; Also put me in for the (1)Andalucia or the (2)Murcia Provence's.

[Aidun]

I take my good own Zaragoza and I want to be industrious commercial.

[Togas]

Seriously, let's start this Feudal war game off in the Middle Ages!

And if we do so, I'd like to change my UU to the Crusader, a 4/2/3 knight replacement (like an Ansar).

--Togas

[Nuclear Winter]

Something here people,
1 - We will most likely start at the end of the ancient age
2 - I was thinking of making the crusader available for all religious civs , but this is still in discussion
Ah, and yes, please all update your UU´s to the later ancient/middle ages (and remember that a faction witha weak UU can still receive a good bonus/and or Wonder if it fits the province) . What I mean is kind of : ´´My province has been building militar units since a long time, and My character is warmonmonger, so I ask for militaristic trait´´. Or ´´I have strong relations to the church, so I ask for religious and a wonder or such that is related to the church specially for me´´ or even ´´I am a trader, so I ask for a specialist labourer that is better than others and a wonder´´ . I guess you guys get it

[Togas]

We just need to balance out all of the traits/bonuses so that we start pretty even.

Personally, I'd like to see this game more about siege warfare and alliances and diplomacy, and less about quick rush strats or UUs.

We need to quickly finalize the list of all of the active Lords that will be participating, and while Nuc is working on the scenerio, we should try to balance out the Houses.

Nuc, Togas, Dejon, Ruby, BigFree, Aidun ... any other factions? I think 7 factions is a perfect # for diplomacy in a game like this so it'd be great to see one more. Maybe the Calimari's will join once History's computer is fixed.

The THEME!
Togas has died and it is unclear who should inherit the throne! The nation of Spain is in anarchy and only one of the noble clans will rule all of Spain! Who will it be??

Winterus Clan -- The silk traders of the northern swamplands. The richest clan in all of Spain and looking to exert their influence and power over the lands.

The Church (Aidun) -- The lands of the one Holy Church & The Pope. Trying to bring order and Unite the nation.

Ruby's Citidel -- the wealthy Lord of the massive metropolis of Pamplona, new Capital of Spain. He controls the most powerful city in all of Spain and hopes to use that power to control all of the nation.

Dejon Clan -- the deposed warlord clan who is out to reconquer their ancient homeland and establish dominance and control of all of Spain.

BigFree Clan-- a Rising noble clan a legitimate claim to the throne but little Spanish history to back it up and little support from the nobles.

Togas -- A distant cousin of Justino Togas takes over the clan. He is in a bitter fight to reclaim the throne, based out of New Madrid, and trying to move the capital of Spain back to where it historically belongs.

Sound good??

--Togas

[mrmitchell]

You can dole me out any region you want.
Industrious, Scientific
UU--Death Machine, 80/70/80
j/k
UU--Minstrel Dudes, 1/1/3 or something, but make them really cheap to produce. (movement for the minstrel's, uh, ability to move )

Any color but Pink

[mrmitchell]

That's a very good plan, Togas.

Call my region a bunch of wandering fools or something, it doesn't matter.
---
If you want a seige unit, I suppose something like the trebuchet would be good...can't think that hard right now, I need another caffeine hit (ahh, the beauty of Dr. Pepper and tolerance to it. )

[BigFree]

Sounds Awesome Togas.

You have some work to do NW.

I will stick with the Viking UU. (Beserker)

[Nuclear Winter]

Ok People, Then let us start at middle ages.
I´ll start doing my share of the job
Count in HistoryGuy and add to this mr mitchell.
BigFree, just a something, what are you going to call those vikings? GoW mercenaries? Just to remind people every UU and such things must be covered by layers and layers of RP to be accepted. Besides, I would like to invite you folks to write each one a RP text as regarding the actions taken, we should discuss if every turn or each every 2 turns but we should...
Togas, thanks for organizing things here a lil more, and great intros... But a lil correction, HG´s clan is the richest, my clan is not that rich (I am still thinking of a good concept for my Clan´s claim to the throne and UU echonomical advantage and such.
Well then,
let´s get it armed before the influx of returning members leave!
Nuclear Winter

[Aidun]

Ok, I'll play the pope.

The church is religious - scientific.

UU: Swiss Guard 3,5,1

Colour: White or Yellow.
