Dynasty Game- Taisho Remix!

If you've read the telegram, you'd know that I'm considering starting up a new Dynasty Game, since the current one has a couple problems. I have the rules lined up and a map drawn out, so this is the time to make comments and criticisms.

Rules:

Stats

-Each player gets 10 points at the start of the game, which can be divided up between two stats; attack and life, which is how much damage can be dealt and how much damage can be taken, respectively. Although life can be increased over time, it can never be more than +5 higher than the starting life stat.

-Gold is used for fortifying cities and recruiting troops. Only 1 gold piece can be spent per turn, and each player starts with 5.

Turns

-Each player can move once per turn, but can move two spaces on the grid in any direction. When they enter a vacant or friendly city, they can fortify, reinforce, or tax, when they are in the open, they can recruit new forces, and when they are in an area or city occupied by an enemy unit, they must fight.

Battles

-When two hostile units meet, they must continue to fight, turn after turn, until one unit is reduced to 0 life. The only way to escape a battle is to rout, which allows you to return to any friendly city. However, if a player successfully forces an enemy to rout, he gains +1 gold. It is possible to bring additional forces into a battle, but once it’s decided which unit your reinforcements will attack, they must continue attacking that unit until the fight is resolved.

Cities

-When a city is occupied, the occupying unit(s) have three options: fortify, tax, or reinforce.

-Fortifying provides the defenses with +1 Life, meaning that an enemy who attacks the city will have to spend 1 turn breaking the defenses, during which time the occupying units can attack them. However, once the defenders attack, they are forced to slug it out, and do not have the option of routing (so you can’t escape if you’re fighting a losing battle). A city can only be fortified up to +3, but can’t be fortified while under attack.

-Taxing raises 1 gold, which can be spent on fortification or reinforcement.

-Reinforcement raises fresh troops for 1 gold, giving the player +1 life.

-If an enemy unit passes with 1 space of a city, then they are forced to assault the city before they can advance further.

Open Land

-The only option for officers in the field is recruitment, which allows them to increase their life by +1 at the cost of 1 gold. However, they have the choice of routing if they wind up in a situation that they can’t win. Whenever an enemy unit is within the same square, the player has the option of attacking.

As a sidenote, the reason that each city is labeled as C, 1, 2, or 3, is because I decided that, for balance issues, each team should start out with 4 cities- the capital, and 3 which are simply numbered for convenience. When mentioning them in a post, just call them Shu 1, Wei Capitol, etc

Also, whenever a player joins the game, he picks a frienly city in which to spawn. Upon entering the game, put your Officer name, location, attack, life, and gold.

Example:

Sun Jian, Wu 2

6 Life, 4 Attack, 5 gold

When your life is increased or reduced, show it as a fraction of your starting health. I.e., after being attacked by an officer with an attack of 2, Sun Jian's health would be 4/6, or if he reinforces, 7/6. Remember that your health can never be more than 5 points higher than your starting life (so Sun Jian can't have 12/6 Life).

This was just to see if everyone wanted to play the game. I'll start up a new thread where everyone states their character, stats, and starting location. I'll commence the game once enough people have joined in.

Also, I need to assign coordinates to the map before we start. That way, you can tell people where you are, even in open land.

Attention everyone- I've made a few ammendments to the rules, all relating to capitols and leaders.

Leaders
-The leader works like any other unit, except when he Taxes a city, he gains +2 gold instead of +1. He also has the ability to give gold to any of his officers, wherever they may be. Though leaders can give gold to any number of officers (so long as they can afford to), they can't give more than +1 gold per turn to any one officer.

Capitols
-Capitol cities provide the leader with +1 gold at the start of every turn.
-If a capitol changes hands, then the new owner gains the income from it in addition to his other capitols.
-When a capitol is conquered, the attacking team's leader gains +3 gold at the start of the next turn.

Trading cities
-To cement alliances, compensate for treachery, or for other strategic reasons, a team's Leader has the option of offering a city in exchange for an amount of gold (which he must choose), or can demand another team's city and have to negotiate a cost. However, either party has the option of refusing the trade, so the option isn't really useful unless someone is dominating.

Also, to clarify the victory conditions:

Destroy all opposing officers to win. As simple as that. So, be cautious, and don't cost your team important territory or forces.

Stop posting this here and post it in the actual game thread. Those are the only way the charactes count...

Tough luck. ShinmenMusashi has already taken that position.

And even if he hadn't, you posted your entry in the wrong thread, and without any of the neccessary info.
