[QUOTE="Anthony Appleyard, post: 7793655, member: 7015611"] [URL="https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Cyvasse"]Cyvasse[/URL] [URL="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=cyvasse"]cyvasse - Google Search[/URL] In particular, I could help to discuss and clear up the many differences between the various attempts to write a complete set of rules. One query is: does cyvasse have catapults and also trebuchets as two sorts of pieces? This seems to depend on one piece of book text about cyvasse that mentions catapults and also trebuchets. To me, that may mean one of: (1) Catapults and also trebuchets are two sorts of piece. (2) Catapults are trebuchets, one sort of piece, and the evidence has been damaged by that literary nuisance called "elegant variation" which encourages writers to use two or more words for the same thing. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegant_variation"]Elegant variation - Wikipedia[/URL] There are 2 discussion threads about cyvasse in "A Forum of Ice and Fire", but they have both been closed. The older thread's last message was in September 2014. That thread has been archived and closed. It ran to 17 pages. I saw a set of rules where the pieces have ranks 1 2 3 4 etc, and if a piece's rank is [I]x[/I], then it can capture any enemy piece whose rank is ([I]x[/I]+1) or less. I am tempted to offer a rule that the dragon can fly over the heads of pieces between, except that as it descends and lands it is vulnerable to attack by pieces near where it lands. Are there any takers for an idea that a dragon flying could pick up and carry (assumed to be on its back sitting behind its pilot), one man of a sort who can walk on foot carrying all his kit (king, rabble, archer/crossbowman, spearman)? The man carried would have to move to an adjacent square when the dragon has moved and landed. Some sets of rules seem to have a rule that a catapult can kill a piece without moving to where that piece was. Is there a piece representing a man who is expert with a sword but is not on a horse/etc? The term "Rabble" to me suggests a poorly-trained new recruit. [/QUOTE]
