Howdy folks. So I've designed this game for something for us xSporians to play again.

Hurrp a Durrp - What do I need to play?
You'll need paint. Or anythig to edit pictures.
You'll also need to be able to upload the picture.

Why? Because there's no way in hell I'm going to number/name all the provinces on the map. Took me 4 hours just to draw it.
As for the exact situation, you can't exactly say "I want my army to move to uh... southeast..east.. of... my third province?"

Therefore, you'll need to be able to draw a splatter of anything to designate it.

No, you won't need to do this every turn.

Hurrp a durrp - Tell me more.

The game begins in 0AD, and you begin with a small village's worth of people - averaging at 200. Logic aside, your army can be built from 0 to 1000+ whilst your population stays unchanged. Population is for taxing only.

Basically, It's risk. As in, build armies, get more land. Improve your country to improve its output. Namely, wealth.

More land, more people capacity. More people, more taxes. More taxes, more wealth and therefore more wealth, more armies.
More armies... more land.

Hurrp a Durrp - How do I join?

Easy. Choose a nation name, colour, and splatter the province that you want as your capital.

Here's the map: http://puu.sh/opAf

I'll post the rules once we get started.

I SHALL START HERE. And I will be that colour, green. NO, I want to be CYAN.

I shall be known as the Recht Kingdom.

OK SO. GAME RULES.

Your country improves as a whole, rather than per-province. The only benefit from more provinces is more people, which in turn generates more tax outcome (ie, a tax rate of 5% kicks out more from a population of 400, rather than 100.)

Turn actions can be split into three;
Improvements: These give small results and cost wealth. YOU CAN ONLY DO 2 PER TURN.
Research: These give larger results and do not cost wealth. YOU CAN ONLY DO 2 PER TURN.
Military: Build ships/armies, move them around as much as you want.

You can only move armies one land territory per turn.
You can only move navies one sea territory per turn.*
*If launching from port, act as if on adjacent sea territory, when moving.

You have two sources of income: Trade and Tax.
Tax is derived from the population.
Trade is derived from your road networks. You also have the possibility of finding a resource when you grab a new province, which will give a ++ to your trade income.

When you grab a new province, you'll get a small population increase.

Tax is a stagnant number and won't change. This is to avoid munnies spiralling out of control, to some extent.


When we start the game, your starting values will be generated. You'll get good values, you'll get bad values (values being current tech levels and such).

Improvements

Houses - this gives a +50 Population Cap, allowing for further growth. Costs: 5 Gold
Hospitals - this gives a +0.5% Population Growth [max:3*province count] Costs: 20 Gold
Barracks - this gives a +200 Army Size Cap Costs: 8 Gold
Roads - this gives a +0.1 Trade Income [max:3*province count] Costs: 10 Gold

Technologies

Government - Allows more provinces to be controled at any one time [2*government = max provinces]
Military - Increases land troop power by 1.
Navy - Increases sea troop power by 1.
Trade - Increases tax income by 1.0.
Culture - -2 Revolt Chance

Military
Train 1 land unit [100 men] Costs: 8 Gold
Build 1 naval unit [10 ships] Costs: 10 Gold

Penalties
If your army is larger than your army maximum, every unit over the max pays a 2* upkeep rate.

If you hold more provinces than your government level allows, there's a chance a revolt will take place and threaten to turn a province of yours, at random, into a new country.

Diplomacy
Feel free to ally, war, backstab and rape each other.

You can also form trade routes with neighbours that are, to a maximum, 5 territories away, [inbetween your territories], or 5 sea territories away.

Trade Routes will duplicate half of what they make in tax, forwarded to you. [If they make 6.4 Gold through trade, you'll get 3.2 every turn in addition to whatever you make, with no loss to either party].
