Also, a few questions about the system
1: Can regular regiments be upgraded to elite?
2: Are personal guars able to be recruited as elite?
3: Will there be plans for pitched battles AKA both sides being the attacker?
4: Also, I don't agree with Elite regiments taking two manpower. Maybe one manpower and 0.5 manpower maintenence?

1) No.
2) Yes.
3) Good question. I guess if both sides agreed, they could both be the attacker, until one side or the other tried to retreat.
4) Most recruits aren't suitable for the rigorous discipline required of an Elite Regiment; some need to be turned away and back to their fields. Discouraged, they are not likely to sign up for a less prestigious position. Thus, two manpower.

My first, initial issue with these new proposed changes is..Wait I dont care anymore. Nevermind.

[CyberGenesis]

Whoa, thought I might join this but...

IMO, stick to the rules. The truth hurts, but cheating eventually hurts even more.

Ah, don't worry. No one has actually tried to cheat. The problem is more that the rules are badly defined.

Hmmph. Because of that problem I dislike bureaucracies...  ;_; 

Can someone make the rules simple and clear to understand? You know, with mutual agreement? If not, I suggest letting the GM cut the knot because that's probably better than starting an endless discussion. My two cents.

Either you didnt actually read that past few pages of what was actually going on, or you just love starting off by looking like a tool.

Well, we can do a few tests in IRC if someone brings a dicebot...

mine seems to not work lately. used to use it for D&D

Sooo...
You signed up to the forum so you can be a condescending prick?

Okay posting a couple of ideas here:

Polybolos: An Upgrade for the ballista siege weapon. Capable of firing semi-automatically.

Fireworks/Signaller upgrade: A +1 bonus to tactics as well as fear enducing.

Repeating crossbows: A lever operated crossbow, maybe the third upgrade in the archer line?

[CyberGenesis]

There are, as of yet, no mechanics for partial damage. And I am not going to make up the rules here. So that unit will remain damaged until the rules for partial damage have been made, and then we will deal with that.

If you're rolling that battle with old rules - then that unit is destroyed. We were stilling running battles on loses of regiments, not strength

On the note of the changes proposed. Some i like, many of them not so much. I have a killer migraine right now and can't do math. So a lot of the combat mods will need to be looked over later.

(...) didnt actually read that past few pages of what was actually going on (...)

Ayup.

[Taricus]

CG: I think the regiment damage was changed BEFORE the battle, that's why it was used rather than "old" system there.

Here, have some character development. Is it good, is it bad, feel free to comment.

[filiusenox]

Looks good to me.

[CyberGenesis]

It technically wasnt because we never actually agreed to the system. It was unbalanced as hell

On balancing though, simple strength related damage seems fair. I'd lean toward a season of 'heal time' without some other provisions (healer upgrades/etc)

Other ideas while i was writing this:
Upgrade!
Medic: 1d/1d cost/upkeep - Provides 2pts of OUT OF BATTLE HEALING per season
-Allows use of "Preventative Care" type tactic to mitigate 1dmg per 3tactics spent in a round

Hey I've been flipping through stuff in here and I am really curious about making a character but I have a question regarding starting as a merchant. Do you start in a guild or do you need to roleplay/roll into entering one?
What is the difference between purchasing a boat or hiring one? Does the hired cargo boat have more cargo capacity? I am a bit confused about that.

[Taricus]

As far as I know, hiring is cheaper. As for the guild bit, I think you can start off in one, though you'd have to get CG on to confirm that.

Hey, I liked it.

You two lovebirds cannot fathom how badly I wanted Taricus to have Wilhelm "suddenly expire, his bowels evacuating almost immediately" before Tala could reply.
You cannot fathom.
