[Nirur Torir]

It's time for a Majesty inspired game.

There are three kingdoms, each with three heroes. The heroes may shop at rival kingdoms, or even defect entirely.

Permadeath is in effect. If a hero is killed and not revived (Revival is unavailable at game start, must be done quickly,  and will never be cheap), a new hero will arrive from the waitlist in 3 turns.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

You have move actions and combat actions. Shopping is considered a free action.

Move actions involve such things as moving. They may be converted into a second combat action, but this will tire the user, and halve their speed for the next turn. This may not be used while tired.

Combat actions involve attacking, casting spells, or disengaging from combat.

Heroes exert a zone of control in the area immediately around them. Moving into this zone locks them into combat. They must use their combat action to disengage to leave. Disengaging heroes may move through two squares of rival zones of control per turn, but no further (Making it easier to escape from being partially blocked in). While under enemy zone of control, you may move one square into or out of friendly settlements, for your entire turn's movement.

Heroes are assumed to be neutral with each other at game start, and do not block rival heroes unless asked for.

You may use your move action before or after your combat action, assuming you're not locked into battle. No tier 0 hero may split their move actions with a combat action in the middle. (Free actions, such as shopping or delivering a coup de grace, may split a move action.)

Usually, player turns happen at the same time (All players turn 1 > Monsters turn 1 > All Players turn 2). When PvP combat starts, I'll randomize a side turn order, until the combat is over.

Spoiler: Misc info (click to show/hide)

Speed determines how many tiles may be moved per turn. Diagonal movement costs 1.5x.
Mountains have 2.5x movement cost. This is reduced to 1x by roads.

Heroes normally only recover HP when resting (+25% of max), when spending a full turn in a friendly settlement with an inn (full heal), or from items and spells.

Fractional HP is unimportant, and only used for number tracking - 0.7 HP is the same as 0 HP.

A hero with 0 HP is unconscious. If left alone, they may take no actions for 2 turns, and will then wake up with 50% HP. Until then, any unopposed adversary may kill them as a free action.

Allies may share a square. You're not as fat as an entire town.

Learning a spell is considered a combat action.

Guards must remain within 2 squares of their origin point. They must be retrained when killed. Guards and soldiers do not reduce XP gains unless no hero participates in the fight. Guards and soldiers only claim gold if no hero is nearby on a kill. Initial guards are included in the building costs, and appear instantly when the building is finished. Retraining is paused when their building is under attack or in an enemy zone of control. Newly trained guards appear instantly at their home building.

If you have taxation in a settlement without a tax drop-off point (The palace, a guardhouse), it creates caravans.

Construction Teams cannot repair buildings that are under attack.

Spoiler: XP (click to show/hide)

You'll receive XP every combat turn, with a larger boost on a kill. All combat participants recieve an XP share, arbitrarily determined by GM.

Once you have enough XP to advance, you'll need to visit a special training facility. Further XP gains will be reduced as though you were the next tier up.

Going from Tier 0 to tier 1 requires 10 xp.

Name: Holy Empire of Ravenna
Colors: Red and green
Kingdom Trait: Magical
Description: A militant Theocracy founded in the mountains surroundings a holy site. Ruled by a hereditary Ach-Bishop and a council of Bishops. Uses the might of the Gods to do magic.

[IronyOwl]

Ooh, tempting. I suppose I should probably take up the mantle of a kingdom.


Kingdom Name: Hoshloam
Color: Purple
Kingdom Trait: Stewardship
Kingdom/Ruler Description: Harra the Mad is unusually benevolent for a crazy monarch, dreaming of creating the largest, grandest hive... kingdom, that is, that the world has ever known. Since this reckless ambition involves making her citizens as happy and numerous as possible, everything turned out better than expected. Rumors that she is descended from roaming acid grubs that pillaged the kingdom's predecessors are racist and irrelevant.

[Nirur Torir]

That's three kingdoms. Everyone else is a hero, unless mcclay just hates green enough to not play.

Colors: Red and black

Not one of the options. Due to Perfectly Reasonable Reasons, the kingdoms are at opposite corners of the color circle (and don't share corners with the class colors.)

Mystic on a non-magic was intended to work with hybrid classes. Still, that'd make it a bad pick at start.

Alright, how's this: Mystic on a non-caster will allow a spell, but you don't start with it, and need to learn it (from a scroll or kingdom-built library). You will be completely unable to switch the spell you learn until you upgrade to a class that can learn spells normally.

[Salsacookies]

Sorry, I keep changing my class idea, I think I'll stick with this.
