RULE MODIFICATIONS

Recruitment A Merchant house, Open Nation, or Secret Empire may spend gp in 25gp blocks to attempt to get nfp for Megalithic Projects. Base amount is 1d6-1 for open nations and -2 for SEs. Note to SEs zero or less nfp result may get you exposed.
I am using the Lords 17 combat system.
Note that the Combat values for Warships are what they are worth in
land combat. For Naval combat they are as follows
HEW = 3, HW = 2, EW = 2.25, W = 1.5, XEW = 1.5, XW = 1
Troops on ships Elite Infantry any Type = 1.5
Regular Infantry any Type = 1
Inexperienced Infantry, All Cav, Siege, ART = 0.5
COLOR CODED NATION HEADERS: The Colors coded on each nation represents your technology level. GREY is Tech 1 & 2, BLUE is Tech 3, RED is Tech 4, GOLD is Tech 5, GREEN is Tech 6, AQUAMARINE is Tech 7, PURPLE is Tech 8, BROWN is Tech 9 and OLIVE is Tech 10.
Lords 11 Unit Conversion
Each point of cavalry and infantry represents 500 fighting men.
A warship or transport point = 1 ships with 500 men aboard each ship.
A siege point = 500 sappers or 5 ballista, catapults, siege engines, trebuchets or battle towers.
A field fort point = 1 fort manned by 500 men each.
A wall point = 10 feet of city wall ramparts.
GM Notes
To ease the transition all of you have had your ISD raised a point and auto rule is set but this won't last so get your houses in order
On turn 62 Your ISD's will be set to the correct levels.
On turn 63 Auto Rule will be turned off.
On turn 64 I will do a massive CCR check which I haven't been doing
to allow you time to get your houses in order. All regions outside
CCR will take multiple checks.
Please take a look at the map in your area and let me know of any differences between it and what is on your stat sheet
My email is phillipbaird@sprintmail.com
Because I don't like "Magic" Numbers I am using percentages for basically all bonuses
i.e. normally for every 5 ap extra spent on an action you get a +1. Now each ap is
worth +0.20. So 5ap still gets you +1 but instead of 4ap being useless it has an
80% chance of getting you a +1. Same basic system is used for gp bonuses.

TAVARHOD EMPIRE
- Civilized
Kawan The Supreme and Mighty Ruler of The Stepes
Kawan pondered how to show the world he was the greatest Khan ever.
Conquer India? Ha! He hadn't even worked up a sweat taking out Khalistan where was the Challenge in that?
China? No! They might be bigger than India a little but even if they were a big challenge
people would always say the Nutqak softened them up for him. Europe?
No Way. He could hear the
stories now. Look at the big bad Khan could only go to Europe where the armies
barely number
a tenth of what he has. The Mideast? No. He had already visited there and that was no challenge.
Those wimps and their silly farms and cities. No man would ever be able to do that to the
steppes! Wait a minute. No man could tame the steppes that's what they all say right?
Well he could! YES! Kawan would show them all! Make the steppes one big farm with cities every where.
That would show
them who was the greatest Khan of all time. As a side benefit if he tamed all the tribes no
other Khan could try and out shine him in the future not that it was possible since he was the
greatest and anyone who said otherwise would have to die but it never hurts to be sure.
Right! So off the Tavarhod went. Kawan decided to set up his capital in Khwarzim on the Aral sea.
The
vast horde of slaves was put to work cultivating everything in sight and building many roads
a portion of the army was also used to help in the projects. The many tribes men were settled
everywhere colonizing regions and founding cities. Kawan was happy he was well on his way to
cultivating the steppes.
