You disgust me.

Okay, enough of that sillyness. Time for actual discussion of some sort, or else we'll just be spamming.

Soooooooooooo....... I guess Charles has once again made a forum game that is similar to an NES.

I would mind hearing the thoughts on special rules in neses, ie the Holy Roman Empire rule in my nes thst just been launched.

 

[sp1023]

Isn't it kind Of unnecessary? I mean, it was split like crazy by the feudal lords. Have it stay split, there’s no need for a HRE king. Or make some of the vassals Persian. That would add a fun twist.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Um, no, there is a Holy Roman Emperor, even if he's limited in powers.

Dude, if you read what we wrote we're not pitying anyone, we were being disgusted.

I don't think disgust will turn anyone into a "thread emo."

... Unless you were singling me out in which case I officially dislike you now, you pile of rotting pig innards.

 

[Sheep]

Okay Iggy, why do you say limited in powers??

 

[sp1023]

He has to be elected, so he either has to bribe or please a majority of the members.

Traditionally, that was done by promising the Electors more autonomy. You can see how this has succeeded brilliantly.

The Holy Roman Empire should be treated as a loose alliance, in gameplay terms.

Or blatant military or political suasion.

Depends on what part prestige plays. Also depends on at what point in time the game takes place.

What’s the Pirates of the Carribean theme song?

Daaaaan, dananannatnatnananatnatnananatnat They’re also playing it in the ‘Australia’ commercials now.

But what if you to include the Holy Roman Emperor, and thus had to make rules for his inclusion. This is what I have attempted in my nes, but I want to see what other people would do in similiar types of situations.

Hey, North King, did you just befriend a shafaet patnari? On facebook?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Okay Iggy, why do you say limited in powers??

Because the Holy Roman Empire is not a centralized state, thus draining power away from the Holy Roman Emperor.

Could someone tell me about how to find #NES chat again... Is it a sub-channel of something else? I found a channel called #NES but there were strange people there. I think I was in the wrong place.

Server: irc.irc-chat.net
Channel: #nes

Or, just connect to the #civfanatics chat (same server) and type in #nes rather than #civfanatics.

I don't hang out in #nes anymore. Nobody is ever there.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Thanks LightFang, I found it. I'll try to remember it this time

The Holy Roman Emperor still is a position of prestige, and can be used to build up a stronger support base. It depends a lot on whether and how the player tries to use it, ofcourse. The Reichstag could be used to raise money, and it might be possible to mobilise the Empire against a common threat, though that requires diplomatic finesse.

I'm presently pondering how to model the Eastern Zhou king, who is pretty similar in some regards and less in others. IMHO the fact that the HRE was elective was not necessarily bad for the office, as it could be uplifted by the election of a suitably powerful monarch. Zhou has no such opportunities, and also has an increasingly impotent dynasty in power, though there were attempts to change it.
