EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
This is a Interactive After Action Report (IAAR), which I may occasionally plan on streaming when I play, though watching the stream is not a requirement to participate in the IAAR. Each person participating will create a character either as a vassal, or a member of the feudal hierarchy of Brandenburg and roleplay that character.
As a character you will take part in a role I will take role of the ruler/head of state, where each member can make or vote on proposals, become Treasurer etc.
System: Freeform with me playing EUIV to advance the story occasionally.
Player Count: Unlimited
Style of Play:historical what if where players are nobility of a country played in EUIV
Character Creation:
- Date of Birth:
- Character's culture :
- Religion:
- Title(s):
- Background:
Rules and Descriptions:
Realm: Is the current area Brandenburg controls directly or indirectly through Autonomous Vassals, which is subject to grow or shrink depending on the game progress. Characters will have to start somewhere in the realm as either landed noble or unhanded noble such as courtiers. In the event of a landed noble who's lands has be removed from the realm (either through ceding territory in a lost war, canceling of vassals, a breakage of a political union) their character would either be removed or become exiled as an effective unlanded noble (Though a Margrave or higher can generally take land from a vassal to remain landed noble).
Autonomous Vassals: These are the in game vassals who are either through diplomatically, released, conquered or another other method of obtaining a vassal. They often have their own laws, policies and generally more autonomous compared to the other vassals, but exchange they
generally don't have any say in the main government in the house. For time being AI will be playing this Autonomous Vassals, though nobles inside these provinces have to keep in mind of the in game relationship of the diplomacy view.
Unlanded courtiers can currently be appointed various cabinet position but lack any voting powers, and generally advise the ruler in various matters. If unmarried can be arranged to marriage to foreign internally or foreign. However they are often merchants or offer some sort skill and can generate income by other means (and represented by Trade income), this income can used to bribe landed nobles generals or even the king. Can subject to be changed through new laws made.
Landed Noble: Can start as count of a province, be appointed and/or revoked by ruler/head of state. They can boycott wars by refusing to send in regiments into war from where they are recruited. Powers are subject to changed through news laws being made.
General/Admirals: Players can be generals and can be appointed by ruler/head of state. The General can decide which region to head and make strategic decision (such as mostly defend in mountains, carpet siege, focus on engaging the enemy or just specific enemy, focus on looting etc) but can but otherwise can't boycott wars in any other way. The Ruler or Heir can become a general without spending monarch points, but NPC are created in game normal general creation and no re-rolls and controlled by myself. Players Characters who become generals are also generated by the in game system; while their names in game and characters may differ in character they're the same person and will be referred as their character name despite any screen shots provided. Unlike NPC and Ruler/Heir can request aids from in the kingdom (can be player or unammed NPC), and as result more monarch points are spent to effectively re-roll their general.
Rebellions:
Any General, Courtier or Landed Nobles can declare a rebelling for variety of reasons: A government change (such as becoming a Republic, becoming a Constitutional Monarchy). A character be it Courtier, Landed Nobles and/or Generals can pick which side of the rebellion they wish to support. Who wins the rebellion will be determined combination of General skill, Base Tax, and number of courtier who can afford mercenaries and a die roll for luck.
Justice System: Currently there is none and ruler can decide or appoint someone of equal or higher rank of the accused settle disputes or even serve justice.
Bribery: Anyone can be bribed such as courtiers giving money to hire mercenaries, or improve a province. Or a Landed Noble/King give landed to courtier in exchange for their vote.
Voting: Must be bolded or won't be counted. While dangerous the Ruler can veto a decision and a Royal decree can be veto by a 75% of the votes. At the moment only landed Nobles can vote with each Count providing one vote and Margrave 2 votes.
Religion: Everyone will start as Catholics or some sort medieval heresies (such as those seen in CKII or appear as rebels in game). However as heretic you're subject to heretical laws and can be stripped of your titles, cash influence. So if you're a different religion you should mention you're pretending to be, while at same time someone scheming can accuse someone being heretic. Once reformation strikes you can be protestant or reformed. New characters who are made will be of the province's religion.
Ruler: The Ruler can decide major various events that occur in game or offer up a decision for voting. When roleplaying each player must keep in mind of the Ruler's Stats and prestige. For example a 0-0-0 with -10 prestige should be looked down upon, while a 6-6-6 ruler with 100 prestige should have more influence. A player can become a ruler either through rebellion, through in game events (such as becoming a republic), in doing so they become the ones who make major decision and have voting issue, and I will play the game taking decisions based on their character's view points. In the case of a Republic anyone declare their self a candidate and be voted upon and their character will become the ruler chosen.
NPC: Are nonplayer characters who are created to fill in a need, such as generals or any rebels that appear with no player inputs. If NPC can be controlled such as a ruler or general I will be assuming control.
OOC: Out Of Character comments or questions should be in spoilers.
The roleplay portion of the game will take place on the forums with thread pending.The day I find a game is the day that HL2 Episode 3 is released!

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
I'm in, this sounds like a lot of fun!
Count Elias von Braun
Date of Birth: 5th May 1401
Culture: Prussian
Religion: Catholic
Title: Count of Potsdam
Background: Elias is the son of a minor noble in the County of Potsdam. His father served as a general in the Margrave's armies with distinction and when he retired was made Count of Potsdam, when he died in 1432 this title was inherited by Elias his only son. While Elias does have an interest in war, he is more a strategist than a tactician and is more present in the Margrave's court than on the battlefieldLast edited by Sange; 2015-04-03 at 03:35 PM.

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
I have to mention that Prussian is not the primary culture in any of the provinces in Brandenburg. Saxon is actually the primary culture of Brandenburg.

I was thinking of checking that. And then I didn't. I should probably be Saxon.

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
I was thinking to be the (former?) count of Neumark. Historically, Neumark was Brandenburg's, but in 1402, it was pawned to the Teutonic Knights due to Brandenburg's financial need, later, due to the Teuton's financial troubles, sold back (historically in 1454, but I doubt that'll happen in game, probably we'll militarily do that, as we have the reconquest CB). As a landless character, I'd probably serve as a courtier, but definitely advocate requiring Neumark, and thusly, my land). I'd probably play as an administrative advisor, if given a position besides courtier, until my county is reclaimed.
Out of curiosity, what determines when we die?
"Count" Bertram von Neumark
Date of Birth: March 4, 1397
Culture: Saxon
Religion: Catholic
Title: None [former Count of Neumark, claimant]
Background: Born shortly before the pawning of Neumark, in his early years, he expected to grow up to be a count. He originally viewed the pawning as a short term thing, the move to Brandenburg being temporary, thinking it would be reacquired before his father's death. With his father's death in 1423, he realized that it would fall on him to reclaim his county, or convince his liege to do it for him. In the hopes of buying Neumark from the Teutonic Order, he devoted himself to administrative duties from shortly after his father's death, and became a competent administrator and acquired some money, although not nearly enough to buy Neumark.

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
If we are a general/advisor and they die, will that also mean we die? I'd assume yes.

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
I'll hop in:
Karl von Vaal
Date of Birth: January 11, 1410
Character's culture: Prussian (from the coast)
Religion: Catholic
Title(s): Cloth Merchant
Background: Karl is, to most appearances, a modestly successful cloth trader from Danzig. Easy going, generous, and always in the middle of some deal or another. The cloth trading is a front, however, as Karl's real talent and trade is information. He excels at infiltrating courts, sniffing our secrets and selling them to the highest bidders in the HRE. He offers good deals to his clients, but today's client could just as easily become tomorrow's mark.So Much for the Glory of Rome, a Crusader Kings 2 Let's Play

Posted IC thread
So feel free to posted. I tried to work everyone into the thread even by including Karl von Vaal as a "noble". It likely opening move will be to fabricate claim on Mecklenburg allied Poland, and Austria to attack Teutonic order.The day I find a game is the day that HL2 Episode 3 is released!

Perhaps we could make an Out of Character thread for these things.
Also, has our royal marriage with Mantua expired?

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
Count Albrecht von Ruppin
Date of birth: 1440
Culture : Saxon
Religion: CatholicTitle: Count of RuppinBackground: As the previous office holder Wolfgang von Ruppin died without heirs his nephew was appointed to the office of Ruppin. Unlike the office's previous holder, Albrecht had anticipated his position for many years. Also unlike Wolfgang his time before gaining his title was not spent in study or administration. Albrect von Ruppin spends most of his days getting into fights, having sex, and sponsoring artists who capture his fancy. Were less of his fights won, his romantic life with important and satisfied people, and his artists talented he would have destroyed his all but certain title years ago. People still think he soon will.

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
Magrave Otto von Neumark
Date of Birth: January 25, 1443
Culture: Austrian
Religion: Catholic
Title: Magrave of Pomerania, Count of Neumark and Hinterpommern
Background: Third son of Bertram, the eldest dying as a child from sickness, and second in the war with the Hansa where they released Saxe-Lunenburg, Otto was sent abroad to be tutored in Austria, in an attempt to ensure better relations with the Emperor. In the Imperial court, with the help of his tutors, he learned of intrigues of the court, and the fiendishly complicated internal diplomacy of the Empire. At the age of 18, he went to study in France for a time, only returning at age 22 due to his father's age. Despite being a skilled diplomat, and wise of the intrigues of the court, he was not a competent administrator, and heavily relies on his older sister and advisors for help managing day to day affairs of the realm. (Essentially, I'd be a diplomatic advisor, probably diplomatic reputation or better relations over time.)

Re: EU IV looking for people for AAR of Bradenburg
Magrave Frederick von Neumark
Date of Birth: January 25, 1479
Culture: Saxon
Religion: Catholic
Title: Magrave of Pomerania, Count of Neumark and Hinterpommern
Background: First son of Otto Von Neumark, Frederick was educated by in church school and took to religious studies primarily. While he can be a decent public speaker, and can tend to the needs of his realm, his true interest is religion. He has some concerns with the Catholic Church, but is not confident enough to speak about them, and for the moment has kept them secret. He believes that the church is becoming corrupt, and the something should be done about it (Theologian, Philosopher, or Inquisitor).
