Introduction
This is my first historical NES, and it is set in the 5th Century BC, immediately after the Peace of Nicias is agreed in 421 BC, but before it is implemented. Each turn will be one year long, running from March to March. The terms of the treaty have not been enforced. If you want an update zero, we are at Thucydides V.20.
This does not mean a cessation of SprylliNES IV, which will continue to run alongside this one.
I am not posting rules or stats, which aren't finished, but essentially you will have stats representing money and representing troop reserves.
The map I'm posting is the current draft that I have been gradually revising over the last few weeks. I am, of course, happy to revise it as necessary up to the start of the NES.
All coloured states on the map (except Athens) are available in principle, although I advise you not to choose a boring place or you won't likely get to do much.
I also require players to represent the leaders of Athens. This is my way of making the chaotic political life of Athens part of the NES. Politician players will each have to submit, in their orders, whatever they want Athens to do, to the NPC Assembly, which will then act as it sees fit. Politicians will also have to command whatever expeditions they propose and other ones too if the Assembly wants them too.
Nicias
Alcibiades
Demosthenes
Hyperbolus
Lamachus
White boundaries represent the states of a koinon (federal state) in most cases; in these cases, I only expect to have one player per koinon, who will take a city, probably the most powerful one, but they should choose, within that koinon. A few white borders represent occupied territory (Leontini and Panactum). Black borders between states of the same colour represent wholly independent states that might reasonably be categorised together, purely to make it easier for me and you to identify which states are which (all states called "Locris" are light green, for example).
Apply by posting three choices of position. I require that certain important slots be filled, so if you say, 1. Phocis, 2. Selinus, 3. Nicias, and no-one else wants Nicias, than expect to be chosen as Nicias.
Questions/suggestions/complaints and above all applications are very welcome! Feel free to post immediately.
