So, since I'm in a mountain range, can I talk to those south of me within the turn or do I have to wait an extra turn to traverse it?

You still have to follow the rules for messangers.
I mean, unless you want your character to go do that.
Which, I mean, I suppose that would be an efficient form of communication, if not wretchedly dangerous.

Apiks is to the far east and south, where the mountains end. Since my area is 99% mountain, does this mean I have hindered movement through my territory?

Oh, I know what you mean now.
No, terrain only takes effect during an actual battle. It's assumed that there are known mountain passes and roads for messengers and spies and whatnot, including army movement where there aren't enemies present.

Can I use it for ambush points?

[mastahcheese]

You can use practically anything as an ambush point.
Combat hasn't been detailed yet, but trust me, it'll be a hell of a lot simpler than everything else once it gets to it.

Hi Cheese.

Let's move onto consensus agreements, aye? From memory--the first and most crucial thing we need is knowledge of the turn limit. Are there going to be timed turns, and if so: when? I'd suggest at least 3 days and spanning up to a week or so, to handle all these players.

Can we actually find out of all the houses, who HASN'T posted?

[heydude6]

Oh, is that why we haven't got updates yet, nice to know.

[Andres]

This is why we need a time limit. Inevitably, someone will forget to post their actions and we'll be waiting forever for them to post.

I don't know if everyone has actually posted actions, but everyone from the list in the OP of the IC thread has posted a spoiler.

[mastahcheese]

I already did a check through the thread. Everyone has posted, I'm just waiting until I can actually have time to do this where I'm not being interrupted by people.

Sorry!

Also, it would be great if we kind of worked together to help Mastahcheese on this. He is GM, but we can help by having a document or something to mark everyone who posted and then run through the list of people who didn't post.

I'll probably do it on the next post just to give you a hand Mastahcheese; after all, it's the least I can do for not rebooting the D&D thread >_<

I've already got a notepad page of all the players on it that I use to go through a check names off. I've prepared for that already.
What I decided to do (while I was contemplating at work) was to make a "known rules compendium" in the OP for everyone's sake.
I'll do that when I find time.

*Mastahcheese collapses*

You can also find a copy of this in the OP, for easier finding.

Spoiler: General Rules Compendium (click to show/hide)

Economy and Interal Affairs:
Gold: Every season, you gain an amount of gold equal to 10% of your Civilian Population from each territory. Assuming standard Tax rates.
You will also lose an amount of Gold based on your Upkeep. For every 1% you have in Upkeep, you wll lose 1 Gold for every 100 people in your Nation. Your standard Upkeep is 0%
You can form Trade Routes, which genreate 20 Gold per season. This requires a land or coast connection, and for both sides to agree.
You can Construct a Bridge over River regions to form a land connection. This takes 100 Gold and a season to build. You may only have one Construction Project active in a Territory.
You can Construct a Logging Camp in a territory if there is a Forest in it. This provides 10 Gold per season, and costs 50 Gold and a season to build. You may only have one Construction Project active in a Territory. If there is a forest that lay within multiple territories' boundaries, they are all considered to be valid, and all territories can construct logging camps.
You can Construct a Mine in a territory if there is a Mountain in it. This provides 20 Gold per season, and costs 100 Gold and a season to build. You may only have one Construction Project active in a Territory. If there is a mountain that lay within multiple territories' boundaries, they are all considered to be valid, and all territories can construct mines.
You can Set Up Fishing Boats in a territory if it borders a Coastal Region. This provides 15 Gold per season, and costs 75 Gold and a season to build. You may only have one Construction Project active in a Territory.
Population: Every season, the Civilian Population in each territory increases by 10% of the current Civilian Population.

Policies: You may issue Policies to change some of the effects of your Territories.
Civilain Training Policy: Reduces the penalties suffered by Civilain Class Units. Increases Upkeep by 3%
Entertainment Policy: Enacts some form of service to keep the populous entertained. Increases Civilian Happiness. Increases Upkeep by 2%
Scholarship Policy: Makes the research of new Technolgies House Funded. Gives an increased chance to discover new Technologies. Increases Upkeep by 2%

Territorial Improvements: These are structures that provide some form of benifit to the territory they are in. They follow all the normal rules for buildings.
Granary: Costs 75 Gold to build. Increase the Population Growth rate by 2%
Mill: Costs 100 Gold to build. Increases Happiness.
Church: Costs 100 Gold to build. Increases Loyalty.
Fortress: Costs 150 Gold to build. An impressive defensive structure.

Military:

Armies:

There are three Ranks of Military Units:
Civilain: Freshly conscripted soldiers. They take penalties to combat, particularly Morale based actions. You may obtain Civilain Class Units by Issuing a Draft, which converts 10% of the Civilain Population of a Territory into Civilian Class Soldiers. This takes a season to perform.
Military: Soldiers with proper equipment and training. Standard Units that take no penalties. You can obtain Military Class Soldiers by converting Civilain Class Soldiers. This costs 1 Gold per Soldier, and a season. You may also hire Mercenary Soldiers at the cost of 2 Gold per Mercenary hired. Mercenary Soldiers take a season to form, but do not count against the limit of Military Actions per Territory. In addition, Mercenaries take a penalty to Morale unless you pay them 1 Gold per Mercenary when ordering them into battle.
Noblity: Unique Units with the best equipment and training they can afford. You can aquire Noble Class Soldiers by Hiring them. This costs 5 Gold per Soldier hired this way. Before hiring them, you must either seek these units out, or hold an event to hire them. If you sent out runners to seek them out, there will be no extra Gold cost, but the number of Units you may hire will be few. If you hold an Event, there will be a larger number of Units to hire, depending on how much Gold you spend on the event. You will also recieve Noble Class Units unique to your own Family House. These Units are obtained for free when assembling an army, and no action must be stated for them to arrive. They will be few, however.

There are three Levels of Military Units:
Recruit: Fresh Soldiers with little to no actual combat experience. Has no effect.
Veteran: Soldiers that have seen battle before. Any Soldier that is present during a decisive victory (One that ends in the death of a player character, or the end of a prolonged conflict) will be promoted to Veteran Level. They gain bonuses to Combat, particuraly Morale.
Elite: Soldiers that have fought through countless battles. Any Soldier that is present during a decisive victory (One that ends in the death of a player character, or the end of a prolonged conflict) in which Veteran or Elite Level Units are utilized by the enemy will be promoted to Elite Level. They automatically succeed at any task involving Morale.

There are also many Classes of Units, such as Archers, Infantry, Cavalry, etc. But I will not be going over them in detail at this time.

Navies:

Boats: Can traverse Rivers and Coasts. Can carry 20 Soldiers. Costs 5 Gold per boat, and 1 season.
Ships: Can Traverse Coasts and Oceans. Can carry 100 Soldiers. Costs 20 Gold per ship, and 1 season.
There is a possibilty of Unique Flag Ships that follow their own rules.

Foreign Affairs:

Scout/Spy Missions:

Intel: An Intel Mission is one in which information is attempted to be gained, and returned. It costs 5 Gold per Intel Mission.
Counter-Intel: A Counter-Intel Mission is one in which information gained by an enemy is prevented from being returned. It costs 5 Gold per Counter-Intel Mission.
Sabatoge: A Sabatoge Mission is one that attempts to undermine another nation, either through damaging a physical structure, or causing the loss of research. A Sabatoge Mission against a structure (Such as a Bridge or Mine) will cost half the cost of the Structure (rounded up), and destroy it. Sabatoge against research will reset the breakthough chance back to the start, and then apply a penalty to it. This costs 10 Gold, plus 2 for each season the target had been at work on it.
More to come as they become relevent.

Research:

Naturally, people need to adopt new technologies in order to best their opponents.
I won't give a list of technologies to research, you'll have to ask what it possible.
The way research actually works is that after you've set aside a goal and been informed of the difficulty and costs, research increases your Upkeep by a certain amount. Rather than producing any sort of "research" resource, there is simply a chance every season that there will be a breakthrough or not. (Invention is a crapshoot in this game. Who knew.) This chance increases as time goes on.
There is also a very small chance that you will passively learn a technology that someone else has already discovered, with the chance based on proximity to the territory that knows of it. This costs nothing, and represents the flow of information from place to place. Researching a Technology that someone else has already discovered is considerably easier, for this reason.

I appreciate the effort, just in case that wasn't clear

I will probably have to edit my actions again though, to reflect this. But not tonight. Bad mood and fatigue aren't very motivating heh.
