7. Foreign invasion in Pontica: tyronec as Sabir Huns is attacker, peterpiper as East Rome is defender. => Sabir Huns win (0 incurred), due to East Rome (4) C-in-C falling in battle.

Resulting changes to province control
1. West Rome gains partial control over Pannonia from Gepids.
3. Italy gains partial control over Sicilia from Vandals.
4. Suevians gains partial control over Gallaecia from Visigoths.
5. East Rome gains partial control over Dacia from Ostrogoths.
6. Persia gains partial control over Oriens from East Rome.

Other changes
2. Soissons becomes vassal of Franks due to Soissons C-in-C falling in battle and the special rule of Soissons (page 4 of rules).
Since at least one C-in-C of one of the twelve major factions fell in battle this round, all players will select new major factions (see next post).

FP adjustments and scores

[kronenblatt]

At the end of the round in which at least one C-in-C of any of the twelve major factions falls in battle, players shall select new major factions to represent (from among those they have not already represented).

This happened in round 1; for olin0111, CaptainWalterSavage, and peterpiper.

Players select their new major factions in decreasing order of their FP adjustments this round but with the player whose major faction’s C-in-C fell in battle this round in any event always selecting last. This means the following order this time:

1 Aetius39 ( NOT West Rome ) => Italy
2 kronenblatt ( NOT Franks ) => Suevians
3 tyronec ( NOT Suevians ) => Franks
4 MadMaxBot ( NOT Italy ) => West Rome
5 olin0111 ( NOT Soissons ) C-in-C fallen in battle => East Rome
6 CaptainWalterSavage ( NOT Visigoths ) C-in-C fallen in battle => Vandals
7 peterpiper ( NOT East Rome ) C-in-C fallen in battle => Ostrogoths

So please send me a PM with your priority list of major factions ASAP (ideally today but tomorrow Wednesday February 10th at the latest). You only need to include as many major factions in the list as your order above (e.g., 1 major faction for Aetius39, 4 major factions for MadMaxBot, 7 major factions for peterpiper).

As mentioned in the rules and above, you can't select any major faction that you are currently representing or that you've already represented earlier in the tournament; it has to be a new major faction to you haven't represented before.

Round 1 (480 AD)

New major factions have been allocated to each player; everyone got their first alternative (this time).

Order of attack declarations, based on FP adjustment (see Attacks in the rules)
1. olin0111: East Rome (FP adjustment = 9) (Feb. 11)
2. Aetius39: Italy (FP adjustment = -6) (Feb. 12)
3. kronenblatt: Suevians (FP adjustment = -9) (Feb. 13)
4. CaptainWalterSavage: Vandals (FP adjustment = -12) (Feb. 14)
5. tyronec: Franks (FP adjustment = -15) (Feb. 15)
6. MadMaxBot: West Rome (FP adjustment = -31) (Feb. 16)
7. peterpiper: Ostrogoths (FP adjustment = -80) (Feb. 17)

Once attack declarations have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period of Feb. 19 - Mar. 12 (see Battles in the rules), or earlier if attack declarations are concluded before Feb. 17.
(If all battles have been resolved before that, round 3 may commence earlier, but plan for first order of round 3's attack declarations on Mar. 14).

Please note that:

• Rules are found in second post of this thread.

• Date (midnight CET (Rome) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to declare attack is forfeited and the player next in line may declare attack.

• If a player above has announced an attack, then player next in line is free and is encouraged to announce attack to, up to his deadline, i.e., if the players before you have announced attacks, don't wait for your deadline to announce your own attacks but instead do so speedily so battles can start as soon as possible.

• Make sure you have The West is No More v1 mod downloaded and installed (available in-game).

Conquest
East Rome attacks Ostrogoths.
Attacker province: X Moesia.
Defender province: IX Dacia.

[kronenblatt]

Also please note everyone that I've made the following clarification/change to the rules (page 12) regarding calculation of the FP adjustment:

• Each player’s FP adjustment is calculated as follows:

• 20 minus the player’s major faction's maximum incurred casualties, adjusted for all effects from raid, foreign invasion or migration attacks, subject to a floor of -100 and cap of +20.
  • Thus, the FP adjustment can never be lower than -100 and never higher than +20.

The rules document has been updated to reflect this, in version 1.1.4, available for download in the second post of this thread.

[Aetius39]

Conquest

Aetius39 (Italy) from I Aemilia attacks Captainwaltersavage (Vandals) in III Sicilia

[kronenblatt]

Conquest: Suevians attacks Visigoths. Attacker province: XXI Baetica. Defender province: XXI Baetica.

Please note that since XXI Baetica is partially controlled, the attack takes place within the province and XXI Baetica is thus both attacker province and defender province.

[kronenblatt]

Here is a suggestion for the 'entering your move' phase.
How about players PM the next player in the list when they have posted their action, would save us all checking the thread to see if it has reached our turn to post.

Good idea: let's do that going forward.

tyronec had a good suggestion earlier; that players PM the next player in the list when they have posted their action. So please do that from now on.

[kronenblatt]

Conquest
East Rome attacks Ostrogoths.
Attacker province: X Moesia.
Defender province: IX Dacia.

Conquest

Aetius39 (Italy) from I Aemilia attacks Captainwaltersavage (Vandals) in III Sicilia

Since you're already partially controlling the respective provinces each of you're attacking, the attacks take place within the provinces, i.e., attacker province and defender province are the same.

=> For olin0111
Conquest: East Rome attacks Ostrogoths. Attacker province: IX Dacia. Defender province: IX Dacia.

=> For Aetius39
Conquest: Italy attacks Vandals. Attacker province: III Sicilia. Defender province: III Sicilia.

[Captainwaltersavage]

Annexation

Vandals From Africa (XVIII) attack the moors in Mauretania (XXVI)

[tyronec]

Annexation

Franks from XII against the Saxons XXII calling on my vassal Soissonians for assistance.

[MadMaxBot]

Conquest: West Rome attacks Gepids VII Pannonia to VII Pannonia

[peterpiper]

Conquest: Ostrogoths attacks East Rome for control full control of Dacia. Attacking province Dacia defending province Dacia

[kronenblatt]

Conquest: Ostrogoths attacks East Rome for control full control of Dacia. Attacking province Dacia defending province Dacia

Not possible, since olin0111's East Rome has already attacked Ostrogoths and IX Dacia. Whoever wins that battle will fully control Dacia, but if East Rome wins, Ostrogoths will become vassal and Dacia in any event returned to Ostrogoths.

You can instead do a type of attack with a foreign faction or minor faction upon one of the other players' major factions. Such as continue (and complete) Persia's foreign invasion of Oriens (currently partially controlled)? Just an example.

Foreign invasion: Persia attacking East Rome attacking province Orea defending province Orea

Please note the following

• Battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period of Feb. 15 - Mar. 8.

• The chooser of the map type (attacker in revolt and raid, defender in all other attack types) creates the challenge and reports the battle results: who's victor and loser (if any), always specifying the incurred casualties and whether any faction's C-in-C fell in battle.

• Make sure you have The West is No More v1 mod downloaded and installed (available in-game*).

• When setting up the challenge in-game, in Multiplayer Lobby under My Challenges, through pressing New Challenge and then Create Skirmish, choose Select Another Module, mark The West is No More v1 and click LAUNCH. The factions can now be chosen for the battle.

• All battles are 24 turns and uses Remove the Head (i.e., the battle will end also when one side’s C-in-C falls in battle with that side becoming the loser), but all other other battle characteristics (force points, map size, map terrain and who chooses it) depends on the attack type (see Types of Attacks in the rules) and the defender province in which the battle takes place.

• No map re-rolls are allowed.
