Emperor of the Fading Suns Forum

Hello Anyone interested? i know only Vanilla and Nova but i would like to start one.

very much so

Sure. I haven't played a game in a while. Sounds like a good idea.

Count me in. I suggest Hyperion mod, it's quite faster to play and better for PBEM games.

I'd be interested in giving it a whirl.

Well and now there are five
Can we agree on Nova?
If yes, i want to play a long game and would like to finish it.I also suggest that we uphold the Nova house rules and perhaps some others.
I would also like to RP the game somewhat(if ya all dont want, NP) This means to sign treatys(and break)and such.
So please only sign in here if you are serious about a long game(i would hate if someone leaves in the height of a game)
(i would even continue a game when it is obvious that i cant win.After all most important is the survival of my house )

Perfectly OK on nova and long game

I'd suggest a few more rules then juist the nova ones though:

I'm personally in favour of the standart house rules for nova:

and the variant for balancing house traits:

Another rule I think we should add is that you cannot buy from an agora if another player owns the planet that it is on or ministry that it is near. I've seen this abused by li Halan as they always get first pick on the good bits on all planets that the league has just supplied.

As for house traits I'd say 6 points each to spend (using the variant trait rules) and tell another which were selected. ((just to make the houses have strenghts and weaknesses of their own))

Also diplomacy has to be open (the RP bit as you suggested), due to lack of espionage. This confers to any treatise involving aliances, votes or land swapping (but not tech, money or non-player character diplomacy).

I agree for long game till end.

What Houses would u like to take? I would like to play Li Halan or Hawkwood.

Decados...Muahahahaa
Or Hazat......

I'm all for these rules...

As for house. I'm pretty happy with most. Probably Al Malik or Decados.

I'd be happy with the Hazat for a change.

Though I'm not organizing this, how about we finalize who wants to play what house?

Here's the current list.

Graf: Decados or Hazat
Mike: Unknown
Isoule: Al Malik or Decados
Lord Austere: Hazat
Kyradian: Li Halan or Hawkwood

Anyone got any ideas on how to finalize who gets what?

We don't have any collisions in first types now.
Mike, what side do you want to play?

(i would rather prefere Hawkwoods then Li Halan)

I've played them all, so it doesn't matter to me. Are we using a historical map or a random one?

OK, so could u take Li Halan and I will take Hawkwoods?

Now it's time to start. Post your mail here and go.
