Here are some
more clarifications – why these aren’t on the Rules page I’ve
no idea?
DP Assistance
If you want to
use leaders to assist another leader in a DP attempt there is no problem, in
fact it is a good way to get some bonus points. However, I want to make sure
that all are aware of my personal requirements on this issue--in order to gain
the bonus of 50% of the assisting leader's diplomacy skill, that assisting
leader MUST be present and using APs for at least half the full attempt!! In
other words, if your King does a DP+20 (24 APs) and you wish to get an
additional bonus from having your Heir help, the Heir must do at least a DP+8
(12 APs) to get a bonus! If you assign fewer APs, then you will get no bonus
from the assisting leader.
CCR clarified!!
A quick comment
on how I am handling the CCR, just to make sure everyone is clear (just to
avoid the early possibility of a Civil War). For those nations with Tribal or
Feudal Monarchy as your governments, your CCR traces from your King himself for
all purposes.
For those of you
with a Centralized Monarchy, your CCR for regions traces from your
For those of you
with other government types (currently Oligarchy and Imperial are the only
other ones in play), then your CCR traces from your

All Trade Routes
will be considered to be initiated ONLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TURN!! This
means that any routes that are contingent on something happening during the
turn will automatically fail. So if you are planning to use a region that you
are counting on DPing to NT that turn, the Trade Route will fail no matter what
the DP result. The same applies to your partner DPing a city or region, or
construction of a city...
On another note,
it is not really a good idea to DP a Feudal Ally that you are making use of
that turn if you are counting on the leader from the region in question. Since
a Feudal Ally can only be used for offensive military operations, it could
prove to be quite inconvenient if the DP succeeded and the leader went home in
the middle of an attack... Also, keep in mind that in order to DP a region that
is Full Allied, that region's Leader HAS to be present in the region for the
duration of the DP . Since an Ally cannot DP his own region, this means that 2
Leaders will be tied up for the duration of the action--both the leader doing
the DP as well as the Allied Leader in question.
A note on the
Have Children order..I thought I would explain a bit how it works . If you are
in your Capital and not doing anything terribly strenuous (i.e. if your other
orders are Rule, Conduct Census, or other simple stuff) then you have a base
20% chance. I will roll as many times as you have APs in the order (an HC+5
would result in 6 rolls). If you are not in your Capital, or if you are being
very active (moving around alot, doing heavy DP, or military actions) then your
base chance goes down to 10% per roll.
