House Rules

Post by Hryllantre » Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:56 pm

Would someone please confirm the House rule indicating no headhunting by means of spies, missiles or attack on Turn 1. My interpretation is your initial starting province is on sacred ground from stated means until the second turn...

If I've mis-interpretted this ruling then Oops, if not Oops as this info is on my turn report:-

Your province 30 is under a spy attack!
You have a 8 % chance of detecting the source.
Your spies fail to detect the source.
Your province data was spied out, - 2 EFF!

H

Your interpretation of the no headhunting rule is correct.

Someone messed up but I thought that Wookie was able to block those bad orders in any case (obviously it does not).

ps It wasn't me or my absent clan mate. Nor player 10 so it narrows it down a bit. :lol:

Darn...my previous post didn't make it through. Anyway headhunting only applies to sabotage and pop stealing not to spying. So it's legit to spy on a home province.

It's a very unsatisfactory definition, I know. I complained quite a lot as we set it up.

Headhunting only applies to directly bad things (sab def, sab mis, steal pop) as we felt that now these were long range it would be too powerful to allow them on home provinces. Anyone that can suggest a better way of phrasing/doing it, please let me know!
