As this is a Totally New Form of RPG, In a time before Money had the same meaning several Things have had to been changed from the normal RPG to make it more realistic. The Guidlines Below Are mostly Military Based as there the only ones which really need explaining, i hope this Stops any Questions being asked :)
---------------------------------------
Q: What Currency is used in a Medieval RP?
A: No Currencies are used for medieval RP's as it is easier to assume that Income = Soldiers. All Empires Start off With the Initial Army of 2000 men and 50 ships (if on the coast) And a Plus 75 Soldier Each Day to the Military. You Can convert 20 soldiers into 1 new ship
Q: How Does One increase there number of Soldiers Per day?
A: Conquer Major Cities, For the Sake of Gameplay, Region are split into Major cities as most on the maps today would have been there in medieval Times. In Italy the major Cities would be Rome, Tuscany, Milan, Genova .ect Each major city Gives a plus 5 Soldier Per Day.
Also Trade aggreements with other nations create plus Soldier Per day.
Q: What If Someone Cheats and Says they Have more then they do?
A: Well, In an RPG like this you tally for your neighbour aswell as him you, If you keep the Above rules in your head it should be easy to tell if someones lieing or not by what theyve conquered and how many days have gone by
Q: I Want to Be a Country but its allready Taken, What should i do?
A: Well you could be One of the many other kingdoms ANYWERE in the world around the 1000AD period. For instance the Shona People Of Great Zimbabwe Flourished around this time, Creating an empire Rivaling that of Virtually all european Societies.
OR
You Could speak to the King of nation and Get a lordship and Control a Portion of that Country under the Kings name.
Q: What Do Lords Get?
A: Lords get a 500 Soldier Initial Force and a +20 soldier that is Added to country Military, you can Expand your own lands in the name of your Nation, and if you get fed up of your king, you can revolt, Declare independance or Follow a new leader.
Q: Im a King, Why would i want to Give a lord my land
A: Firstly theres the Extra Soldiers Involved, it allows you to go off and Conquer the world while you lord stays home and Protects or Visa Versa
Secondly It Adds to the politcal Gameplay, Having to keep your lords happy while not letting them get too powerfull.
Q: I have No idea whats going on during this time what should i do?
A: Probably Not play, a 20,000 man Army may not seem much to you by todays standards, but by standards then it is godmodding. Also Just because your in control of a Place called England Doesnt mean its Nowaday England, You could end up invading yourself or thinking you have more land then you really do.
Q:I dont have any land Left What Should i do?
A: Either Quit (your dead) or beg some Simpathetic King for a lordship so you can continue playing.
Q: How Should I keep Track of My Forces?
A: i suggest you Keep a Small Dossier adding to it when you can, Store Cities you own, Military Forces and Positions, Alliances and Trade aggreements there, you miss two days, add two days soldiers at once.
Q: I wasnt on and Someone Invaded me
A: Its an Illegal Attack As was Proper Medieval Custom, Both Armies Have to declare intent to Each other before Taking action, Battles are held through a Semi Turnbased System. Your trusted to Be Logical With victories and Defeats IE Pikeman Obviosously Kill horses and Archers Obviously Kill Infantry. So if you get losses you get losses, deduct them from your military and Carry On, You might decide to flee from a battle depending on your losses.
Q: Its all good and Well having a miltary side but what about the rest!
A: The rest doesnt Really require set rules as its politics, Trade, religion and Random Events pretty Self Developing as things go.
Q: I want to Play were do i sign up?
A: click here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=92218) and read the First Couple Of Posts, Then Post your Intented Kingdom and youll be added to the list, once the List is sufficiently Full signups will finish and only Dukedoms will be available.
