I am tinkering with a variation on Kingmaker and am looking for suggestions for the dominant families of the time. Rather than play a faction of revolving...
I don't know of a "Tipton." Tiptoft was Earl of Worcester, but was a minor peer. The Pole, Courtenay, and Talbot families were involved throughout the WOTR...
Thanks for the insight and oops, yes I meant Tiptoft (must have been thinking of the famous Tipton Tea family). I considered Tiptoft based on the number of...
In the issue of General Magazine devoted to Kingmaker, there was an article that you should look at, it was a variant where player played the Heirs and had to...
I remembered incorrectly, it wasn't the Kingmaker issue but a later one, General Vol 26 no 4 "Being Your Own King" by Gabriel Gonzalez Page 24 A interesting...
Rob, John de la Pole was created Duke of Suffolk 23 March 1463 and died in 1491. His son Edmund, the 2nd Duke was executed by Henry VIII. Edmund's brother John...
My ranking list would be (for 1453) 1. Lancaster 2. York 3. Stafford of Buckingham 4. Neville of Salisbury & Warwick 5. Mowbray of Norfolk 6. Percy of...
Over the years I've used a variety of sources to compile a ranking of the nobles, based on their annual land revenues. I don't include income from offices or...
FitzAlan at number 4 is a major surprise. The majority of the Fitzalan estates were partitioned when the direct line failed, and the Earl in 1453 had a pretty...
I would put the Stanley clan in 7th place. Sure the Isle of Mann isn't much, but they did have extensive holdings in Cheshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire. I...
This list attempts to put specific figures on a list, but the reservations I expressed earlier apply, and there are some curious omissions (Duke of Exeter?) We...
Just a quick question: am I correct in understanding that a town with a cathederal would have 300 troops? A town has a permanent garrison of 200 troops and a...
When starting a Noble can be placed in multiple castles. Some Nobles have more than one castle. Does this mean then all of those castles that the Noble has on...
Just counting money income doesn't cover all of it. Many nobles have feuldal holding, especially in the north and Wales where the nobles received labor and...
My thoughts? Great title names. There is some thought in them. The problem is game balance. When people toss in things that drastically affect game balance,...
Just joined today. I am playing KM with my wife and 3 of my boys. Haven't played since I was a teenager. We started on 12/26 and have had 3 two-hour sessions...
A bit poor for a first posting but I wonder if any one could guide me in converting the Strenghts (numbers on Cards) into the warhammer Medieval rules....
You could probably use points for points... WotR medievals out of the AoA are pretty pricey and lend to smaller armies... If too small you could use the border...
Anybody in the Sea-Tac vicinity interested in a pick-up game this Saturday night, 1/10? I'm passing through en route to Anchorage but can't get a guaranteed...
Thought members may be interested in the following WOTR game: A Crown of Paper is available to download here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TPCwarchest/ ...
I've downloaded ACOP, and I'm playing around with the rules. I like the idea of doing the military campaigns and having the politics in the background. I once...
David, Sorry I havent been around these last couple months. Would like to discuss this more with you. All 3 of these offices have already been created in one...
Derek, As I said before, I felt there was a lot of thought and work put into creating these offices. You have to give them a city or cities on occasion. A...
I'm just getting back to offices, as I want to add all office holders for the period to my database. I give all office cards a Royal castle; in some cases...
On this tack does anyone have a list of Great Chamberlain office holders 1450-1500? I know this was usually held by the Earls of Oxford, but there were gaps...
David, I believe "balance"--beyond preventing gross over-power, is something of an illusion in this game. A large random events deck; the endless combos of...
I have to say that I am impressed by the graphics that you have in the files section in this group. The map is beautiful and the cards are excellent. How did...
