DISCWIOT
If it ain't broke, don't fix it - motto of House Vetinari
For those who don't know, the Disc (as it is also known) is a flat disc which rests upon the shoulders of four Elephants (there were five, but the fifth crashed into the Disc, providing certain areas with fat mines). These elephants stand on the back of Great A'Tuin, a turtle with ambiguous gender slowly swimming through space towards the great space turtle mating grounds.
Look it up on Wikipedia for more detail.
A few disclaimers:
1. The Discworld is a silly place running on fantasy tropes.
2. The Disc is flat. There is no sailing around.
3. There were a lot of complaints about spoilers. I'll keep these at a minimum. The only book that will be spoiled is Small Gods, but only in the way all the other Discworld books do.
Rules:
Standard IOT rules.
SPECIAL RULE: Keep to the guidelines below.
Joining:
Choose a province on the mapp
choose a race of government:
Choose a government:
Choose a majority religion: (mandatory for Theocracies)
Spoiler list of acceptables :
The reason for all of this is that, as silly as the Disc is, it does have some rules. Starting with Fairies being parasites.
The region you pick has an effect on the rest of the game for you in the form of traits:
Spoiler :
ECONOMY
Economy is really simple really, Each province generates 2 Ankh-Morpork Dollars. You can build various things with these:
Armies: 2 AM$, .5 AM$ upkeep.
Special buildings:
each region has its own buildings. These can be built in provinces and all cost 10AM$ except for the Agatean one. When built they each give a 10% chance of firing off a region-specific event.
Counterweight - Terracotta Golem Factory
Fourecks - Brewery
Islands - Great Net
Evil Empire - Überwald Castle
Dwarf Evil Empire (if you're dwarves) - Great Lifts
Klatch - Pyramid
Sto Plains - Bloody Stupid Johnson construction
Octarine Country - Dragon Hatchery
Hubland - Nac Mac Feegle Houses
Southern Klatch - Temple
Expansion:
Expansion works regionwise as such:
Counterweight - Subjugation/Conquest (Conquest within Counterweight)
Fourecks - Colonisation
Islands - Conquest
Evil Empire - Conquest
Klatch - Conquest/Peaceful Annexation/Subjugation
Sto Plains - Peaceful Annexation
Octarine Country - Peaceful Annexation
Hubland - Conquest
Southern Klatch - Conquest/Subjugation
What do these mean?
Subjugation - the province becomes an NPC vassal of yours and provides half of it's income to you. Depending on location, NPCs expand too! These can later be "annexed" if you so wish
Conquest - Ye olde IOT mechanism.
Colonisation - one turn the province provides half of it's income, the next it suddenly a real province. You can only have three colonies.
Peaceful Annexation - Like conquest but you KEEP THE ARMIES!
Each province costs 2 AM$. For Agateans, this is the price inside Agatea. Outside the Agatean trait applies.
Armies and battle
Each nation has a stat for Offense/Defense/Intrigue, and starts at 3/3/3. These can be increased or decreased through events.
Spoiler :
EVENTS:
Events are random things. They happen to your country. They come in 4 forms:
Narrativium: Something will happen. It will involve a princess and a dragon. Maybe. these are normal random events.
Octarine: Magical events, like an order being canceled. If you think that's bad look at Fourecks.
Science: Science marches on, and these events represent that by improving your military or cashflow.
Region: once you build a special building, you have a 10% chance of getting one of these and the number goes up to 60%. These are region-related. as in Pyramid time overflow for Klatch. Or something.
So put your Wizzard hat on, pack your Luggage, and enter the Disc!
