Me vote would be:

Winter land movement: disabled (ho says infantry cant move in the mountains during winther when cavalry can?)
Guard commitment: enabled
Allow PBEM Host GA functions: enabled
Allow options change during game: enabled (if we change our minds during play)
Third paty combat system: disabled
PBEM-Hotseat password: enabled
Economic manipulation: enabled
GB and France start at war: enabled (and as a house rule - must demand unconditional)
Leader casualties: disabled
Privateer: enabled
PBEM quick combat: disabled


As for country selection - make the bids in GAP and send it to the host (when we have dicided who that is)

Yes disabled or only cavalry.
Or if we simply add one movements point (except crossing rivers and sea crossing arrow)?
So, to enter in mountain or marsh areas cost three points, to enter in normal area cost two point.

Guard commitment: enabled

OK

Allow PBEM Host GA functions: enabled

Ok

Allow options change during game: enabled (if we change our minds during play)

Wise

Third paty combat system: disabled

Ok

PBEM-Hotseat password: enabled

Ok

Economic manipulation: enabled

Ok

GB and France start at war: enabled (and as a house rule - must demand unconditional)

I don't have particular preference, all one

Leader casualties: disabled

Ok

Privateer: enabled

Ok

PBEM quick combat: disabled

Ok

As for country selection - make the bids in GAP and send it to the host (when we have dicided who that is)

Ok

What do you think about another two house rules?

1- Supply limits per depot (four?)
2- Remove the Bernadotte leader (August 1810)

I'm very interested on playing a multiplayer game.
I'm an italian player (GMT +1) who never played the boardgame version.
I tried this pc version completing 4 campaigns at hard level.
I would be very happy to join you.
I agree with all the optional rules you discussed, with the only exception of privateers (I never tried them).
If I'm accepted i will need an explanation on the Gap system.
Best regards

Hi my ideas atm.

Winterland movement you cant add +1 move cost yourself(lets say you wanna forage?]. Eighter we play with it enabled or disabled. [unsure]
[Houserules]
1- I dont like it honestly. Lets say someone has 5 corps in the area with a depot, and another depot 1-2 areas away. How will you make the game pay ½ for 4 corps but 1-2$ for the 5+ ? Its to time consuming to administrate, and to check up on. [no]
2- I would add Bernadotte can still be used if Sweden is French free-state. [yes]
3- House rule British channel crossing on or off ? I dont remember if Marshall was gonna add it as a feature in the patch 1.01.[off]
4- Darnelles channel blocks movement unless Granted (dont remember the specific saying of the rule) [yes]

Other house rules dow on minors...
What prevents a nation to dow so that his "non-allied" pal doesnt get a cheap free-state ?

I dont know anything about GAP eighter.

Bresh

Winter land movement: disabled (ho says infantry cant move in the mountains during winther when cavalry can?)
Guard commitment: enabled
Allow PBEM Host GA functions: enabled
Allow options change during game: enabled (if we change our minds during play)
Third paty combat system: disabled
PBEM-Hotseat password: enabled
Economic manipulation: enabled
GB and France start at war: enabled (and as a house rule - must demand unconditional)
Leader casualties: disabled
Privateer: enabled
PBEM quick combat: disabled

However i do feel that leader casualties should be enabled but i am in the minority. I like the randomness it makes every combat interesting. I to would like an explanation about privateers and there use.

Also Cunctator your in thats seven.

If everyone can just confirm there interest please we can get some bidding going.

Regards

Unfortunately, the game can't to calculate the point less for the forage, but it isn't a big problem. I think that winter land movement penalty is too constrictive, IMHO.
Anyhow, normal option: I prefer enabled.

1. Ehm...no, I thought only four corps although in supply chain, so for the 5th corps you must to use "attempt to forage"; but you are right, this isn't practicable.

2. Much better.

3. Off

4. Yes. DARDANELLES CONTROL: Normally, the major power controlling Constantinople controls access through the Dardanelles sea area, but if Constantinople is besieged, no one controls access through the Dardanelles. Note that this makes it possible for any major powers to pass through the Dardanelles and also makes it possible for enemy fleets to enter the area to reach the Constantinople blockade box.

DOW on MC. How do you plan to do?

GAP, I need an explanation too.

Ciao Cunctator, un altro italiano fa sempre piacere.

1. Ehm...no, I thought only four corps although in supply chain, so for the 5th corps you must to use "attempt to forage"; but you are right, this isn't practicable. (Agreed)

2. Much better. (agreed)

3. On  (it should be used in my view so on)

4. Yes. DARDANELLES CONTROL: Normally, the major power controlling Constantinople controls access through the Dardanelles sea area, but if Constantinople is besieged, no one controls access through the Dardanelles. Note that this makes it possible for any major powers to pass through the Dardanelles and also makes it possible for enemy fleets to enter the area to reach the Constantinople blockade box. (agreed)

i am also going to suggest that in the end who ever hosts gets final say on all options


my view on those points

Status: offline 		Going to have my vote too. But will go with the flo on all options):

Winter land movement: enabled (Think slightly better with than without...)
Guard commitment: enabled
Allow PBEM Host GA functions: enabled
Allow options change during game: enabled
Third paty combat system: disabled
PBEM-Hotseat password: enabled
Economic manipulation: enabled
GB and France start at war: enabled (and as a house rule - must demand unconditional)
Leader casualties: enabled (like the randomness too, so minority on this growing ...)
Privateer: enabled (Never used it. Don't mind trying it out)
PBEM quick combat: disabled

House rules:
1. 4 corps supply limit. No. Fine idea but not practical. (Same view on the +1 movement point in winter, by the way.)
2. Bernadotte. Yes. All of it. Adds historical flavor.
3. British channel crossing On - I think. But depends on what happens for naval in the patch. (Hence the 'options change during game')
4. Dardanelles Control. Yes. (Would enjoy being asked permission as Turk )

DoW on allied minors: I think we should go with the game here. There's six other majors to limit number of allied minors, right
The GAP: works fine, I believe.

... and that was the votes from the jury of .... ?! Well, I'll know that after the bidding

While we're waiting the patch we can to start the bid procedure.
Host? Who is the volunteer?

Also, we need a name for the game
a. "The Old Europe"
b. "E.S.O. Campaign": Eleven years, Seven Kinkdoms, One Lord
c. "War & Peace"
d...???
Any idea?

Cant be sure, but think you put in bids as host when starting the game. Then add identical bids in the bidding order it has, it choses random.
Though maybe somebody could confirm it :)
