It has been a while since I hosted a TBS, so here goes.

In a land far, far away, where the plains are divided in tiles and people move once every day, and where troops and monsters are color-coded for convenience, there are two kings, each on their own castle. These kings, however, are not as happy as one would expect. For starters, there are monsters outside. Many monsters. Treasures, ancient ruins, sure, but also monsters. More monsters than the palace guard could ever kill. And as if that was not enough, their kingdom is one and the same. And that is why they have called upon their Heroes.

Heroes are hard to handle, since they have their own will, unlike the grunt guards the kings rely on. But heroes are also worth much more than guards. But while they will fight in far-off tiles and fell the most savage beast for the right amount of gold, they can just as quickly turn around and join the opponent if the price is right.

This game has two types of players: kings and heroes. The kings have to bribe the heroes, build buildings for them, and get taxes, and generally try to do so better than their opponent. The heroes do what they want, accept gold and quests from whom they want, and buy what they want from whichever building they want. Their goal is to be the awesomest hero ever. I will require 2 kings, and at least 4 heroes to play.

Spoiler: Rules for Kings (click to show/hide)

Gold:
There is one important statistic for a king: his treasury. A king starts with a thousand gold coins, and gives those away to build and bribe. He gets more trough taxes.

Building:
The king can build buildings next to any tile that has a building belonging to that king. An exception is the guard tower, which can be built in any open, explored tile (but not next to the buildings of another king). You can build two different buildings each turn.

Types of buildings currently discovered:
- Keep. Can not be bought. Has 3 HP. 100 gold in taxes every turn.
- House. Costs 250. Has 1 HP. 50 gold in taxes every turn.
- Workshop. Costs 250. Allows recruiting of peasant heroes.
- Market. Costs  500. Sells consumables to heroes. 50% of selling price goes to taxes.



- Chapel. Costs 500. Allows kings to reclaim the gold of fallen heroes (depending on which castle was closest).

.

- Smithy. Costs 1000 and a workshop. Allows the market to research weapons. Still counts as a workshop for hero creation.


(The blue king will have these with a blue roof, obviously.)

Bounties:
The king can also place bounties, whenever he wants, where he wants, and how much he wants. There are three types of bounties: Explore, Attack, and Defend.
Explore bounties are placed on any unexplored tile. The first hero to reach that tile, gets the bounty. If multiple heroes reach the tile on the same turn, the bounty is divided evenly.
Attack bounties are placed on monsters or opponents. The hero that kills the enemy tagged by the bounty gets it. If a hero damages the enemy, but it doesn't die, he gets nothing and the bounty stays on it. If an enemy succumbs to several attacks in a single turn, the bounty is divivded evenly among the participating heroes.
Defend bounties are placed on own buildings. If a hero is in the same tile as the building, and it is not damaged, the hero gets the bounty. Multiple heroes share the bounty evenly.

Contracts:
Kings and Heroes, Kings between each other, and heroes between each other, can, apart from bounties, trade any kind of resources or make contracts. This includes trade of gold, items, favors, buildings, quests, and "I'll attack you if you don't". If you make these contracts via PM (because you want them to be secret), send me a copy.

It is recommended that Kings also read the rules for Heroes (and vice versa).

Spoiler: Rules for Heroes (click to show/hide)

Basics:
A hero can join the game at any moment, as long as one of the kings has a building that allows for the training of such a hero. The first heroes will be peasants, but they can be retrained later. When a hero dies, that player is out of the game until he creates a new hero. To create a hero, one needs only a name and a type.

Currently known hero types:
-Peasant.

Armed with whatever tool he can find, the peasant heads to the workshop for a knapsack and some supplies. He is not the brightest or the strongest hero a king could get, but he can whack whatever comes his way.
A peasant moves one tile, and explores whatever tile he walks to. He is created in a workshop. A peasant has one of two chance to deal a point of damage, and has one life.

Heroes can attack each other if they are on the same tile.

The gray tiles are unexplored, obviously. Note that there are no boundaries.

[Diablous]

Can the castles be farther away from eachother please?

Agreed. You are a bit too close for comfort to me.

CALLING HERO... I think, I guess this is a reserve spot.

Yup!

[Diablous]

I thought dwarfguy was signing up to be king.   My bad.

[Ochita]

Oh, Whoops.

[Nirur Torir]

What happens now? Do the kings claim their colors as the heroes flock to the kings?

I'll wander over to Diablous' castle and bother him about the right for his peasants to peaceably assemble, and to petition the king for a redress of grievances.

[Ochita]

I follow Nirur as I trust him
