@Everyone: I am really sorry that I haven't given any time to this campaign yet, I am still muddling along trying to finish m,y last assignment for uni. That assignment will be handed in tomorrow and then I will give the campaign my full attention.

No worries, even if we need to wait till Wendsday to kick off, as we have to get the armies in first.

About the mechanical of battles
I suggest that once a battle is declared, the player with the larger army post a challenge for that army size to avoid very large maps for small armies

Does it make a differance since both armies have to use the same size DAG offer, even though one may be 400 points actually spent, and the other might be say 550?

REMINDER

Just as a reminder, we have three forum sites. The Map and rules (in campaign section), this 100YW general chat forum and an announcement forum (in campaign section).

I will post events and things that are happening in the announcement forum, so be sure to check it, we will also use it to track the phases as the game progresses.

We will use this forum for general chat etc.

Finally, the Map and rules will be used to update the map and any rule changes.

The only place you guys should post is here, and PM me in response to events and phases, that way we can keep the campaign forums clean and easy to read.

I thought the map size was in accordance to army size (?)

I had planned on introducing this concept after the first year, but since we are getting a late start, we will throw it in now.

K. Vassals
A kingdom can become a vassal to another kingdom during the declare alliance phase. A vassal owed his allegiance, under the feudal system, upward toward the king.
Once a kingdom declares vassalage, he makes the oath of fealty and performs the act of homage. A vassal's principle obligation is via aid by way of military service to his lord. In return, the lord would usually grant a fief or land and of course is obligated to protect his vassal.

For game purposes, any kingdom may become a vassal to any other kingdom. If you become a vassal, your kingdom follows your lords kingdom in alliances. At start of the campaign there are no vassals.
If you are a direct vassal to either England or France, you are given the title of Baron.

Example: If the Duke of Normandy was becomes a vassal to Burgundy, and Burgundy enters into an official alliance with the English, then Normandy also becomes aligned with England.

Both the English and French kings may grant titles and offices, but only to vassals.

French Grants:
Order of Saint-Dunois (may only be given to one vassal): This is an money stipend award that grants the holder 100 silver marks per year, this amount is deducted from the French Kings income.
Duke of Calais (may only be given to one vassal): The French king awards the Normandy region as a fief to the vassal (even if currently controlled by someone else, they now have a claim to the province). The title comes with a stipend of 200 silver marks per year, to be deducted from the French Kings income.
Bishop of Nantes (may only be given to one vassal): The French king awards a vassal kingdom the right to have one of his followers made the bishop of Nantes. The holder of this office will have more influence with the Pope. However, it will cost the King of France 50 silver marks per year to support the diocese.

English Grants:
Archbishop of Canterbury (may only be granted to one vassal): The English King can award one of his vassals the right to have one of his followers made bishop of Canterbury. The holder of this office will have more influence with the Pope. The English King must deduct 50 silver marks per year to support the diocese.
Lord Marshall of England (may only be given to one vassal): This title awards the vassal the opportunity to raise one additional army (this in addition to the armies currently allowed the kingdom) and the sum of 200 silver marks is deducted from the English treasury per year.
Lord High Steward (may only be given to one vassal): This largely ceremonial titles awards the vassal 150 silver marks per year (represents marks skimmed from the taxes) , deducted from the English Kings treasury.

Campaign Begins

The first phase of Sping 1337 has begun, and it posted in the Campaign Announcements section of the forum. Please be sure to check it.

Also, each new phase will be posted there as we go. Also Amaz_Ed's map is there, it looks great.

Good luck to everyone.

Doh, I keep posting in the other threads. Sorry about that, I will be better at that

Here what I have to say about the map:
The big one is perfect!
Sure would be great to have the legend as well but if need be maybe have that in a separate post right under or above,
A litte scrolling but I think it should work fine.

Amaz_Ed · Post by **Amaz_Ed** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:22 pm

I added a legend to the big one, just for you

The text is colour coded to reflect the current allegiance (thats the coloured dots right?).

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:27 pm

You're a map-whiz!
If I may be picky: perhaps seperate the group of neutrals slightly from the blue.
Just a notch or two down for a neater look

Scarz · Post by **Scarz** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:35 pm

The map looks really amazing! Well done, the Pope is happy too, since as you can see the world is flat, just like we said.

No worries, if it hasn't been too long you can delete them I think.

How about I put them in the Med?

I think that would be fine too.

Amaz_Ed, you have spelt my name wrong on the map. I cannot accept this indignity! We are now at War!

'ianiow' stands for Ian IOW (Isle of Wight)
'Ian Ow' is what happens when a french knight hits me.

Amaz_Ed · Post by **Amaz_Ed** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:35 pm

Just making sure you were paying attention.... fixed now

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 9:13 pm

Perfect!
And LUXEMBOURG-HIDDE stands out fine against the green background
