[QUOTE="Kalanyr, post: 1633785, member: 190"] Hi to all. And hi to you Edena, glad to see you I am, the Oz thing is because we abbreviate Australia as AUS and it sounds like Oz. Festy and I have worked out some preliminary rules which are below The Theory: D10s are fun. The Detail: In general player vs player conflict will be resolved by us rolling a d10 for each player the highest roll wins. However it gets a bit more complex, since Festy and I will award bonuses for strategy and such. If your bonus reaches +10 you drop to a +5 bonus and roll an extra d10, 10s are open ended (that is we keep rolling and add until we get a not 10, this means that an underdog might pull off a surprising victory). To simplify things each country will have 3 ratings that serve as a base for most things Military, Diplomacy and Espionage, everyone will start with a net sum of 0 although you can start with up to a -2 penalty in 2 of them for a maximum of +4 to one. To these bases Festy and I will be awarded penalties and bonuses at our discretion for cool plans and such, we will also adjust the bases after each turn based on your actions that turn. Other meandering thoughts: If you get severely beaten ie by 3 or more points your score in the appropriate field will be reduced by -1/3 points you were beaten by. This is to discourage underdogs from continuously attacking big powers and relying on luck to win. Technology and Magical advancement will allow more interesting plans for circumstance bonuses and will also increase your base scores. This system is fairly freeform but does have some static points to encourage canny resource use. [/QUOTE]
