AWD - Hotseat rules & stuff

A World Divided



So lately I have been kinda busy with this project. It appears I am the only person left to host SS HotSeats. This is also the reason why I have declined admin positions/player spots lately.

I love using the full SS map but realised I couldnt possibly have all factions again so I shook things up a bit, this is not historically accurate. At this very moment I am adding needed troops to all factions so the descr.strat will be up today for people to check everything more accurately.

If you wish to join, please note down 3 factions you would prefer, if you are not as experienced, please include either England or Russia in your 3 choices. It is not first to come first to take. I expect all players to play their best. I will be taking this HS as serious as I can after my blunders in SSAF and TFK.

Players:
-Saleska2
-Ramble12
-Themzr
-Captainnorway
-ArBo
-RedStar

Factions:
England - ArBo
France - Saleska
Castille - Ramble12
TO - Captainnorway
Romans - Themzr
Russians - RedStar
Fatimids -


Rules
If you wish to discuss rules please do keep playing unless it is a very important ruling which might result in a replay.


- Time to play your turn is 24h. The Admin may grant a 24h extension if needed ONLY If you ask for them. If you are late you will be skipped. After 24 hs with no response you will be skipped.You can come back and upload your turn but ONLY If the next player hasn't played his turn by then.It is adviced to get a subbed, this subber may be from both inside or outside the game. He can know your PW and plans so he can sub you if you cant make it.
- No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. movement bug, naval attack spam, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, spies spreading plague.. etc
- Exploiting AI factions is not allowed ( demanding money, regions or anything else to improve your position)
- List of known bugs
The naval fort bug: No using ships to bypass a fort or a settlements Zone of Control.
Spam siege bug: Besieging a fort or a settlement with a force far superior in it, in order to either prevent that army from reinforcing or in order to cut down a settlements income is not allowed.
Heroic victory bug: No Heroic victories at all. If you get a heroic victory you must reload until you get a different result, and if you cannot get a different result then you will not be allowed to play the battle.
Ambush fort bug: No luring men in ambush position into ZoC of forts\settlement's as such robbing them of their movement points.
Siege reinforcement bug: when the army is adjacent to a fort or a settlements that has been put under siege it cannot reinforce armies adjacent to him which he should have been able to reinforce on normal occasions. Attacking an army which the siege reinforcements bug applies to is not allowed
Navy inside ports attacked bug: no using this bug to attack ships which are inside ports.
Yoyo armies\forts bug: no attacking an army which the bug has been used on multiple times. You can see when this bug occurs, as the enemy army enters the fort and then leaves it.
