Hello,

Thank you for your time and interest in potentially joining in NukaWryNes, which is a NES set in the Three Kingdoms. You have a family, and you are perhaps China's destiny to unite it once again. A few things below:

Who is eligible to play?: Anybody can play, no application is required. You can play, your great grandmother can play, your girlfriend or wife can play, even zombie Hong Xiuquan can rise up from the dead and play in this NES if he decides to. 24 spots are available with more spots opening up if there is enough interest.

What this NES actually is? This is a strategy/simulation NES set during the Three Kingdoms period during the last 20 years of the Han Dynasty. This is an NES that will be very similar to the ROTK series of video games out there for you NESer's who have played those games. This game will have a great amount of historical and fictional characters who appear in the Guanzhong novel. You will run a city or town in your province in the hopes of eventually becoming or displacing the weakened Han emperor, or rather if you hope to create an ideal state, the decision is all yours.

Why do I want to play in this NES? Because I assure you that this NES will be of very high quality and enjoyed by all. I can assure you that this will be run in the way a proper NES will be run (barring any personal tragedies or important events in either mine or Nuka's life).

Basic Rules Within the next few days, I will have more information up and edited in, but your character will be assigned to a city or town within a set province. Certain cities and towns are more powerful than others, and I want to warn all of you that this will be first come first serve, and I do not want any complaints, such as why Lord Iggy got Sichuan or why Popcorn Lord is stuck in some random town in Xiliang. You will have food, gold, manpower, and rare goods to worry about maintaining. Nuka will post in more detail on those things a little later on. You may also employ "Great Men" a la the Great men mechanic in EU3, however this will be a huge expense and you can only employ up to two men at a time, and you must find them. Be smart with how you play

Conclusion I'm sorry if this post is not too detailed, but we are still working some things out with the NES and we are in the final stages of the preliminary phase. Please consult me or Nuka for any questions that you might have, and we will answer them.

Hoping for a great turnout!
 
How to Join: place your Family Dynasty name, your principal character's name and age, any dependents and other retinue members. You may use MOST characters from history (unless they had significant political power during this period or something) or your own character, but may NOT use the following characters

Spoiler :
Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, Lu Bu, Li Sheng, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, Xiahou Ba, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Sima Zhao, Sima Shi, Zhang Liao Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Yan Liang, Wen Zhou, Meng Huo, Ma Dai, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Ma Su, Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Wang Lang, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Sun Shao, Gu Yong, Wang Yun.


Simply state what Province you wish to start in, and create your character, and stats will be rolled on the following basis, as well as traits. You CANNOT pick your traits or stats.

Spoiler :
Martial: Martial determines your character’s personal skill in combat, Army discipline, Army, morale (With Charisma), Army strategy (With Cunning).
Intelligence: Intelligence determines your character’s skill as a governor for provinces, how much food and resources it produces.
Charisma: Charisma determines your character’s skill in negotiations with other characters, Army morale (With Martial), Lowers provincial revolt risk,
Cunning: Cunning determines your character’s skills in subterfuge, Army strategy (With Martial),
Prestige: Prestige is essentially your renown and how well you're known. Prestige is important in ensuring great men flock to your cause, as well as encouraging others to seek you out for your services or even to serve you themselves! It is also important to keep in mind prestige in diplomacy and other actions; while your third sons second son may have godlike martial and cunning skills, it may be unwise to put an important and prestigious lord under his command, as he may very well take it as an insult by being placed under a no name.
Reputation: Reputation unlike all other stats here is a sliding scale, from -100 to +100, 0 being neutral. Doing kind and honorable acts will raise your reputation, making you be seen as a just man, while dishonorable acts or acts of brutality will lower your reputation. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as some say it is better to be feared than loved! However, it will heavily influence actions with you. A high reputation character may see others try to take advantage of his generosity, but he may also find it easier to make alliances with other like minded individuals and gain the support of the commonfolk. A low reputation character may find himself shunned from certain circles, but may also find cities and lords surrendering out of fear for what there punishment might be. Each side has its advantage, so choose wisely!

Hey germanicus, sorry but because Cao Cao is such a major figure at the start of the game, I'd like to ask if you make a different family, the reason he's not on the banned list is that I only put the "Great Men" NPCs like Guan Yu on there and I forgot the other NPCs. It is my mistake, and I will rectify this post haste.

Feel free to ally with Cao Cao though :D
 
No problem, the family name has been changed.
 
I'd like to watch a NES like this play out. I've thought about doing this sort of NES myself many times before.
