Economics.
In this game you will obviously need to make money in order to expand and maintain your empire. you will use money to build buildings, upgrade your city, train troops and pay for their upkeep and many more things.
Taxes.
One way to gain money is with taxes. your citizens pay their taxes every month and this is obviously your main form of income. this game provides three taxes and an emergency war tax.
other than these regular taxes you also have War taxes, a war tax can be used in emergency situations, in the middle of a war obviously when there are not enough funds to maintain an army or recruit new troops. this however goes at a small cost of happiness with your citizens.
you have three levels of taxes
1. low taxes:
Every citizen in your city's pays 2 gold taxes. (+1 happiness)
2. Normal Taxes:
Every citizen in your city's pays 5 gold taxes. (no bonus)
3. High taxes:
Every citizen in your city's pays 10 gold taxes. (-1 happiness)
Trade.
Still working on these systems.
Millitary
when you are expanding your empire a strong military will play a big part in this game. by now you must be thinking beh i don't want standard troops, well i won,'t give any to you. in this game each player creates his own troops as he would create his own character.
Creating your troops.
you create your troops by filling in a sheet, just like you create your character that is.
Name:
The name of your troop.
Appearance:
how your troop looks.
Description:
(optional) how your troop fights maybe names of weapons how they came to existence their history etc etc.
Size:
when creating your troop you can choose between three troop sizes.
Size 20: 20 soldiers in this troop (costs 200 gold and 50 upkeep)
size 50: 50 soldiers in this troop (+1 attack bonus against 20 size) (costs 500 gold and 100 upkeep)
size 80: 80 soldiers in this troop. (+1 attack bonus against size 20 / +2 attack bonus against size 50) (costs 1000 gold and 200 upkeep)
Class:
you also have to choose a class for your troops, there are 4 different classes in total.
Infantry: normal infantry like swordsmen etc. (+1 attack against anti-cavalry, and support type units.) (this unit costs 200 gold and 100 upkeep)
Anti-cavalry: units like spear and pike-men i named it anti-cavalry because i found no better name. (+1 attack against cavalry.) (this unit costs 100 gold and 50 upkeep)
Support: units like bowmen. (+1 attack against anti-cavalry) (this unit costs 100 gold and 50 upkeep)
Cavalry: units like horsemen. (+2 attack bonus against support units and +1 attack bonus against Infantry units.) (this unit costs 300 gold and 150 upkeep.)
Upgrades:
you can also upgrade your troops to have bonuses against other troops in combat. every upgrade costs 100+50 gold per level and adds 100 gold to your upkeep per level.
Cost:
(total of your choices)
Upkeep:
(total of your choices.)
Battles
in battles you write how you put your units on the battle field how you attack and how you march and witch unit you want to attack witch unit and i will then roll dice on the outcome.
Your family and court
In this game you do not control only an empire but also your generals and army's in this empire. the heritage system will work the same is in Knights of honor. if you don't know how that is you will find out during the game.
in this game you can have both sons and daughters. you can use your sons as Generals, clerics and governors. your daughters are as so to say sold out to the highest bidder to increase relations with other kingdoms or provinces.
