"Also, money can only be given from player to player if the player who wants to send it is in a city."

At least that is what Andira's tutorial taught me.

[Trollheiming]

That's my understanding as well. However, there's nothing saying that lords can't hoard up a lot of gold before marching in order to stay for several weeks in the field.

[Zangi]

Bonds can only be cashed and exchanged while you are in a city.  Gold cannot be exchanged in the field.  It should be organized before-hand for nobles to carry at least 2 weeks wages when going abroad/extended outings...

Also, as a hero, death on the battlefield does not come when you want it to... and it may come at the most inopportune times.  Such is the dangers of a hero.

Ok, cool. I thought it might be a bit too easy.

It would be fun being an adventurer who's job in life was to track and sell the location of known pay-chest runners to various other factions. Knowing that there was a few thousand gold on it's way back, in this particular region, would have to be worth some cash or favours.

It would bring quite a bit of subtlety to the game, rotating which noble is your war-chest holder so no-one knows who has the cash, having false runners, the glorious deepstrikes into enemy territory where the only concrete gain is a heap of cash and a really ticked off enemy army.....

It would give a reason to stockpile a bit of gold and actually care about it a bit more. Defend it a bit more too. Oh well, I guess stockpiling and staying with the main army will have to do for my future tactics for now.

The restrictions on money transfers (as has been stated, only bonds can be transferred from noble to noble, and then only at a bank in a city) are specifically designed to prevent the situation you describe, Sambojin.

Why? Because guess who would be picked to be the money-mule otherwise? Some poor newbie, who then wouldn't get the opportunity to participate in the battles; he'd just be shuttling back and forth between the front and the nearest city of your realm.

"Screw you guys, I'm taking this gold and going elsewhere. That'll learn ya for giving me this cruddy job AND giving me all this gold."

[sambojin]

Or changing allegiance and running like hell to the enemies lands holding an entire army's pay in their overworked, newby little hands. You'd REALLY have to trust the person doing it, even if it was a boring job.

So...I'm confused.  I was told by another player that I could have one noble and one adventurer on Dwilight...but when I went to add my newly-created adventurer to Dwilight, it specifically says that there is only one character allowed per family.  Help?  I just wanted an adventurer to play with while Morek is busy boring us all to death up by Nifelheim.

Known bug. Sorry

It's on the list, but things are moving a little slow right now.

[Ehndras]

Weird, new bug? I had no problem making two consecutive Advies on Dwilight even though my Senator/Lord/Marshal is there.

Also, I'm getting upgraded from Vice to full Marshal. :3 Woo!

(Who thought it'd be a good idea to give me command of an entire army? >_> BAHAHAHAH)

I've led armies in strategy-war RP games plenty of times. Been a while though... I miss my Strategy-war RPGs.

Anyone involved in BM religions or like Fantasy stuff, Lore, discussing crazy made-up pantheons, etc? I made a forum post asking for helping with ideas for my Fantasy religion revival for BM. Figured I'd put years of development to some use -_-

So...just to be 100% clear...I can roll an adventurer and not get in trouble?  Excuse the noobishness, but I've heard how punishments in this game can come down on you like a ton of bricks, and I'd rather avoid that.

Yes, go ahead. (And while you're right, we do tend to come down like a ton of bricks on people who break the rules, we do try to account for people being new )

[SeaBee]

Thanks, Danaris, I was wondering the same thing. Time to roll an adventurer! Hopefully he won't get beheaded before I get a chance to see what all they get to do

[sambojin]

I'm getting so ready to fight, even my men think we may as well butcher these buggers before the other buggers show up. Otherwise I'm just poncing around, being all noble.

Meh. Hurry up Libero, get your damn act together. We're waiting.
