BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Farsight

To the final paragraph of “Armour Value and Damage”, add:-

When a Vessel Sinks, all Captains who control a Vessel which created a Shot in the same square as the Sunk Vessel during the processing of most recent Watch gain 10 Treasure.

Add a new rule, “Treasure Victory”:-

The first Captain to have more than 50 Treasure (while also having more Treasure than every other Captain) achieves victory.

Make a new rule named “Annihilation” as follows:

Each Side has a dominance number, defined as the number of Vessels which are all of the following:
*Controlled by a Captain with that Side
*Not Sunken
*On the Chart, with an Armour Value greater than 0
*Not a Transport or The Red October

If there is only one Side with a dominance number above 0, all Captains with that Side have achieved Dominance.

Any Captain who has achieved Dominance may randomly select a Captain from among all those who have achieved Dominance. The first Captain thus selected has achieved victory.

Change:

Vessels are recorded with an identity code in the format “[Initial of Vessel Type][Unique number](Facing)”. For example, B1(N) for a Battleship facing North.

To:

Vessels are recorded with an identity code in the format “[Initial of Vessel Type][Unique number](Facing){Armour Value}”. For example, B1(N){5} for a Battleship facing North with a current Armour Value of 5.

Remove the following sentence:

The Armour Value of each Vessel is tracked immediately after their identity code in the format “{Armour Value}”.

Add the following sub rule to the rule “The Chart”:

Vessels displayed in the chart are represented by their Identity Code, followed by a space, followed by the name of the player that controls that vessel, in square brackets ([]). For example, B3(W){5} [ubq323] for the vessel with Identity Code “B3(W){5}”, which is controlled by ubq323.

If no rule exists called “Mapping”, remove the bullet point “* Map the Lands” from the rule “The Watch”.

Otherwise, add a bullet point to the top of the list in the rule “Mapping”:-

* Remove the bullet point “* Map the Lands” from the rule “The Watch”.

If the proposal “Cast Turn Undead on Ghost Ships” enacted, then reduce by 1 the Armour Value of the oldest Transport controlled by Derrick, and reduce by 1 the Armour Value of the oldest Minelayer controlled by Thunder.

Change:

If, when the Chart is updated, two or more Vessels would occupy the same square, and those Vessels did not do so at the time of the previous Chart update, the Chart is updated to show those Vessels occupying the same square and those Vessels each suffer 1 Damage.

To:

If, when the Chart is updated, two or more Vessels from different sides would occupy the same square which is not a port, and those Vessels did not do so at the time of the previous Chart update, the Chart is updated to show those Vessels occupying the same square and those Vessels each suffer 1 Damage.

Amend the second paragraph of “Armour Value and Damage” to read:

Battleships have a default Armour Value of 6; Submarines have a default Armour Value of 3; Minelayers have a default Armour Value of 4. Transports have a default Armour Value of 2.

Remove each of the following from the “Vessels” rule, then set the Armour Value of each existing Vessel to its default value:
“Battleships have an Armour Value of 6;”
“Submarines have an Armour Value of 3;”
“Minelayers have an Armour Value of 4;”
“Transports have an armor value of 2; “

Several new Vessels have been built this Watch, along with two unsuccessful dives (due to the proposal Outfitting the Fleets).

The third Watch begins at 12:48pm 12/8/19, and ends 12:48pm 14/8/19; Orders to the Admiral before the end of the Watch.

For the current Chart, see the Admiral’s Log.

To the second bulleted list in “The Watch”, add a new point before the last one:-

* Map the Lands

In “The Chart”, replace “Recorded on the squares of the Chart are Vessels (and their Facings), Shots and Objects.” with:-

Recorded on the squares of the Chart are Vessels (and their Facings), Shots, Objects, Ports and Land.

In “Navigation”, replace “Cruising moves a vessel from the square they are in to an orthogonally adjacent Square in the direction of that vessel’s facing.” with:-

Cruising moves a vessel from the square they are in to an orthogonally adjacent non-Land Square in the direction of that vessel’s facing.

Then add to that rule:-

If, when the Chart is updated, a Vessel would occupy the same square as Land, that Vessel has its Armour Value set to zero.

Enact a new rule, “Mapping”:-

Mapping the Lands is an atomic action with the following steps:-

* For each Port square, randomly select a non-Port square orthogonally adjacent to it and make that square Land.
* For each Land square, randomly select a non-Port square orthogonally adjacent to it and make that square Land.
* Repeal this rule.

In “The Watch”, replace the “have a transport at a port invade a port it shares a square with” bullet point with:-

* Have a transport at a port invade a port it shares a square with. This Order is Obsolete.
* Have a Transport under their control invade a Port it shares a square with. This Order is Belayed.

Then replace “Obsolete” with “Diminished” throughout the dynastic ruleset.

Card idles out after a week’s inactivity. Quorum remains 6.

Make a rule called “Chain of Command”:

At any time, the Admiral may nominate a Captain to take over the role of Admiral. If the nominated Captain declines, any willing Captains may volunteer for the role and the Admiral will choose one.
When a Captain has been chosen, the Admiral shall hand over the Chart and cease all of the Admiral’s duties, and the Captain shall become the Admiral.

Most orders from the previous Watch invalidated, The Red October does some target practice on square 30.

The second Watch begins at 09:19pm 10/8/19, and ends 09:19pm 12/8/19; Orders to the Admiral before the end of the Watch. Sorry for the delay folks, back on track now!
