User blog:Pacman the great/The Interregnum

The Interregnum is a strategy RP set in the Interregnum. Below is a list of important rules and mechanics. I intend to periodically update this when time allows.

Settlements, Soldiers, and Gold
 * Each year, the player recieves a certain amount of gold depending on their settlements. This money is used to maintain soldiers and upgrade settlements. If you do not have enough money to maintain soldiers, they are disbanded. It does not carry over from year to year (to simplify accounting).
 * Costs of the different soldiers are based on what class they fit into. For instance, archers would be classified as light infantry, whereas mounted knights would be heavy cavalry.

       Light infantry: 5 gold

       Heavy infantry: 15 gold

       Light cavalry: 30 gold

       Heavy cavalry: 50 gold

       Siege engine: 500 gold

       Ship: 2500 gold (can hold 500 troops/10 siege engines, needs 50 sailors)

       Sailor: 10 gold

       Engineer: 10 gold

       Battlemage: 100 gold
 * The gold gained from a settlement depends on its type. To work out total gold, add together gold from all the settlements.

       Large City: 15,000 gold

       Small City: 10,000 gold

       Large Town: 5,000 gold

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">       Large Village: 1,000 gold

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">       Small Village: 500 gold
 * <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Settlements can be upgraded/built, but it costs money. If you cannot afford to maintain the expansion process, the settlement reverts to its former state. For example, if you were upgrading a small city to a large city for three years, then stopped, you would have to upgrade the small city again for the full six years.
