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.

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; “

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:-

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.

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.

To

At any time not during a Watch, the Admiral may perform the following steps, which should be done in order:

Add to the rule “Vessels”:

Transports are vessels. Transports are not armed; Transports have an armor value of 2; Transports are cumbersome and have 2 movement points.

Add to the list of valid order in the watch:

* have a transport at a port invade a port it shares a square with
* Add a transport under their control to their home port with a facing of their choice

Add to the rule “Ports”:

If a port is invaded, it changes its allegiance to the side that invaded it the most times that watch. If there is a tie, its allegiance does not change.

Can’t keep up at the moment.

Quorum drops to 6.

Change:

a private message describing exactly one Order that they wish to give during this Watch

to

a private message describing up to their “command skill” in Orders that they wish to give during this Watch.

Add to the rule “The Watch”:

Captains have a command skill of two, except for the captain controlling the red october, who has a command skill of three.

Change ports to:

A port has a name (a string), a location (a square on the chart), and an allegiance (a side). Ports are tracked on the Chart.

Each captain may have a home port, which is tracked in the GNDT as Port and recorded as the Port’s name.

The admiral may create all of the following ports, then set the home port of each captain to a port with the same allegiance as that’s player’s side, and then delete this paragraph:
*A port with a name of “Red Port”, a secretly random location, and an allegiance of Red
*A port with a name of “Blue Port”, a secretly random location, and an allegiance of Blue
*A port with the name of “Green Port”, a secretly random location, and an allegiance of Green

Captain Naught idles out after nine days’ inactivity. Quorum remains 7.

Add to the rule “Navigation”:

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.

Add to the rule “Fire Control”:

Vessels cannot Shoot at the square they are located in.

After the first bulleted list in “The Watch”, add a paragraph:-

If an Order is Belayed, Captains cannot give that Order.

In the second bulleted list, add a new point before the last:-

Remove all Obsolete Orders from the first bulleted list in this rule, then remove “This Order is Belayed.” from all Orders in that list.

Change “Apply to the Chart all (legal) Orders received from Captains during the latest Watch.”
To
“Apply to the Chart all valid Orders (and what were valid Orders at the time they were received) that were received from Captains during the latest Watch.

Begin the first Watch at 12:00pm (midday) on 7/8/2019.

In “Armour Value and Damage”, insert the following paragraph immediately after the paragraph that includes the phrase, “a Vessel is in the same square as a Shot”:

For purposes of the previous paragraph, a Vessel and a Shot are considered to be in the same square if that Shot is in a square in that Vessel’s Hit Zone. The Hit Zone of a Battleship consists of the square its on, the square just in front of it, and the square just behind it. The Hit Zone of a Submarine or of a Minelayer consists of the square its on and the square just behind it. (If any of these squares would be off the Chart, or otherwise don’t exist, the Hit Zone doesn’t include them.)

In the same rule as above, change the default Armour Value of Battleships to 3, of Submarines to 2, and of Minelayers, if “Boom!” has been enacted, to 2.

Then, for balancing, change “2” to “1” in “A Mine Placed by a Minelayer decreases the Armour value of Vessels that Cruise over it by 2, and then removes the Mine.”

Rename the first rule named “Fleets” to be named “Vessels”.

Insert all the paragraphs of the rule “Fire Control” between the second and the third paragraphs of “Armour Value and Damage”. Then repeal “Fire Control”.

Change “If, when the Admiral has updated the Chart, a Vessel is in the same square as a Shot, that Vessel suffers Damage.”
To

If, when the Admiral has updated the Chart, a Vessel is in the same square as a Shot, that Vessel suffers Damage, reducing its Armour Value by 1 for each Shot in its square, to a minimum of 0.

Remove “Shells Shot by Battleships, and Torpedoes Shot by The Submarine decrease the Armour Value of Vessels they hit by 1.” (It would be redundant / they all just shoot Shots, now.)

In (the last rule named) “Fleets”, change all instances of “armor” or “Armour” to “Armour Value”.

If “Boom!” was enacted, change “*Add a Battleship or Submarine under their control”
To

*Have a Minelayer they control Place at up to 1 square.
*Add a Battleship or Submarine or Minelayer under their control

In “The Watch”, amend:

• Have a Battleship they control Shoot at up to 2 squares. (A Battleship cannot Shoot at a square adjacent to the square it is located in; a Battleship can choose to shoot at the same square twice. Battleships Shoot a Manhattan distance.)
• Have a Submarine they control Shoot at up to 1 square; this square must be from a single row (if the Submarine is Facing East (E) or West (W)) or column (if the Submarine is Facing North (N) or South (S)) which is directly between the Submarine and the grid edge the Submarine is Facing.
• Add a Battleship or Submarine under their control to a grid square of their choice and with a facing of their choice (unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).

• Have a Minelayer they control Place at up to 1 square.
• Add a Battleship or Submarine or Minelayer under their control to a grid square of their choice and with a facing of their choice (unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).

In “Fleets” (the first rule with that name), append the following at the end:

Minelayers are Vessels; Minelayers are Armed with Mines; Minelayers have a Range of 2 squares; Minelayers have an Armour Value of 4; Minelayers are cumbersome and have 3 movement points.

In “Fire Control”, append after the first paragraph the following:

For a Vessel to Place (at a square) is for it to create an Object at a square that is a Distance of up to that Vessel’s Range away from that Vessel’s square.

In “Armour Value and Damage”, replace

Vessels have an Armour Value. A Vessel’s Armour Value decreases when the Vessel suffers Damage. Shots cause Damage.

Battleships have a default Armour Value of 6; Submarines have a default Armour Value of 3.

Shells Shot by Battleships, and Torpedoes Shot by The Submarine decrease the Armour Value of Vessels they hit by 1.

with:

Vessels have an Armour Value. A Vessel’s Armour Value decreases when the Vessel suffers Damage. Shots cause Damage, along with Mines.

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

Shells Shot by Battleships, and Torpedoes Shot by The Submarine decrease the Armour Value of Vessels they hit by 1. A Mine Placed by a Minelayer decreases the Armour value of Vessels that Cruise over it by 2, and then removes the Mine.

Add a new rule, titled “NARC”:

Construction of new Vessels requires allocation of Naval Resource Credits, abbreviated NARCs. The number of NARCs that a Captain has paid to create Vessels is tracked in the GNDT field “NARCs”, and defaults to 0.

In the first Fleets rule, to the end of the first paragraph add “Battleships cost 8 NARCs.” To the end of the second paragraph add “Submarines cost 8 NARCs.”

In The Watch, replace “(unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).” with

, paying that Vessel’s cost in NARCs.

In that rule, in the list of steps for the Admiral to perform when a watch has ended, add as a penultimate step:

* Increase in the Ruleset the NARC cost of each type of Vessel by the number of that type of Vessel that was created during the latest Watch.

Add to Sides

Each Side has one attribute for the Captains on that Side. Valid attributes are the following:
*None -
*Deadeye - When shooting, the range for Vessels controlled by Captains on this side is considered to be 1 greater.
*Long Winded - Vessels controlled by Captains on this side are considered to have 1 extra movement point.
*Melee - When taking a shot, Vessels controlled by Captains on this side can shoot at the square that their Vessel is on. Vessels shooting this way aren’t considered shot at by their own shots.
*Defensive - The Armor value for Vessels controlled by Captains on this side is considered 1 higher.
*Swimmers - Captains on this side may make one extra Order to Go Diving each Watch.
*Builders - Captains on this side may make one extra Order to create a Vessel each watch.

Attributes for each side are tracked in the following list:
*Red: None
*Blue: None
*Green: None

Create a subrule of rule 2.3 titled “Captain’s Ships” and then append the text of rule 2.10 to it, then repeal rule 2.10

Give all Captains on X side 3 Treasure.
Give all Captains on Y side 2 Treasure.
Give all Captains on Z side 1 Treasure.

replace X with the name of the team which has the most EVCs on this proposal.
replace Y with the name of the team which as the second most EVCs on this proposal.
replace Z with the name of the remaining team which is not “None”.

Break ties randomly.

Add a new rule, “Ports”:

Each Captain may have a Home Port, which is tracked in the GNDT as “Port”. If a Captain has no Home Port, they may choose their Home Port to be any square from the Chart that is all of:
* Not already the Home Port of a Captain
* On the edge of the Chart, or adjacent to a square that is on the edge of the Chart
* Not adjacent to a square that is in a different quadrant
* In the North West quadrant if the Captain’s Side is Blue; in the North East quadrant if the Captain’s Side is Green; or in the South West quadrant if the Captain’s Side is Red.

In “The Watch”, replace

Add a Battleship or Submarine under their control to a grid square of their choice and with a facing of their choice (unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).”

with

Add a Battleship or Submarine under their control to their Home Port with a facing of their choice (unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).”

Change the rule, “Fire Control”, to read:

For a Vessel to Shoot (at a square) is for it to create a Shot at a square that is a Distance of up to that Vessel’s Range away from that Vessel’s square.

Distance is defined as the number of squares away, moving orthogonally, from one square’s center to another’s. (It’s a Manhattan distance.)

If Maritime Inaction has not been enacted, append the following to the above-mentioned rule:

A Battleship cannot Shoot at a square adjacent to the square it is located in. A Submarine can only Shoot at a square that falls in a straight line in the direction it is Facing.

As a Maritime(2) action, a Battleship can Shoot. As a Maritime action, a Submarine can Shoot.

If Maritime Inaction has been enacted, change “Have a Submarine they control Shoot at up to 1 square; this square must be between the Submarine and the grid edge the Submarine is Facing.”
to:

Have a Submarine they control Shoot at up to 1 square. (A Submarine can only Shoot at a square if it falls in a straight line in the direction it is Facing.)

Change:

If a roll would place a Captain on a Side that is not the smallest (excluding None)

to:

If a roll would place a Captain on a Side that is not the smallest or tied for smallest (excluding None in both cases)

If the proposal “Technical Moves” has enacted, in the rule “Navigation”, replace the text:

“A valid move by a vessel consists of a list of atomic steps whose costs sum to less than the vessel’s movement points.”

with the text:

“A valid move by a vessel consists of a list of atomic steps whose costs sum to less than, or equal to, the vessel’s movement points.

Remove “The GNDT will display a list of Captains, the Vessels they control, and the Armour Values and Facings of those Vessels.”

Make a new rule titled Fleets with the following text:

The collection of Vessels that a Captain controls is called a Fleet and, other than The Red October, is tracked in the GNDT in a comma separated list of their identity codes. The armor of each Vessel is tracked immediatly after their identity code in the format “{Armour}”.

In the ruleset if a Vessel is said to take an action, a Captain which controls said Vessel takes that action instead.

Change “A Watch is a period of time, beginning when the Admiral posts a Chart Update, and ending 48 hours later.”
to

A Watch is a period of time, beginning when the Admiral makes a blog post announcing a Chart Update, and ending 48 hours later.

Replace the last three paragraphs of the rule, “The Watch”, with the following:

After a Watch has ended, or if no Watch has ever begun in this dynasty, the Admiral may perform the following steps, which should be done in order:
* Remove all Shots marked on the Chart.
* Apply to the Chart all (legal) Orders received from Captains during the latest Watch.
* Update the GNDT to reflect if any Vessels have suffered Damage, changed orientation, been created, or treasure found, et cetera.
* Record the Chart’s new state, clearly and in full, in the wiki page [[Admiral’s Log]]. This is called a Chart Update, and should displace any previous Chart Updates and Hotfixes.
* Create a blog post announcing the Chart Update, which begins a new Watch.

If, during the new Watch, the Admiral feels the above steps resulted in incorrect representation of the dynastic gamestate, they may and should correct the Chart and GNDT, and record the Chart’s corrected state in the [[Admiral’s Log]], but marked separately from the Chart Update as a Hotfix. (This will not affect the start time of the Watch.) The Admiral should immediately describe any such corrections in a comment on the Chart Update announcement post.

Change “Maritime(X) actions, where X is a positive non-zero integer, are actions which can only be taken X or fewer times per Watch. If X isn’t present it defaults to 1.” to

If a game action is a Maritime Action, each Captain able to perform it may take that action up to 1 times each Watch.
If a game action is a Maritime(X) Action, where X is a positive integer greater than 1, each Captain able to perform it may take that action up to X times each Watch.

If the proposal “Enemy Ship Sighted!” has enacted, replace the text:

Battleships have an Armour Value of 6; Submarines have an Armour Value of 3.

with the text:

Battleships have a default Armour Value of 6; Submarines have a default Armour Value of 3.

Create a rule called “The Red October”:

The Red October is a Submarine; The Red October is controlled by each Captain in turn.

At each Chart update, control of The Red October passes to the next Captain in the GNDT queue, starting initially from the top; the Captain who currently controls The Red October is recorded on the Chart; this information is updated by the Admiral at each Chart update. The Admiral privately tracks, and chooses initially, the exact location of The Red October, and will pass on this information to the controller of The Red October at each Chart update.

The position of The Red October is not marked on the Chart. The Chart will record the Quadrant The Red October is located in and its Facing; these details are recorded at each Chart update.

Change the rule navigation to:

A vessel has a number of movement points, and is either cumbersome or not cumbersome, defaulting to not cumbersome.

Vessels have a square, which is tracked on the chart.

Vessels have a Facing; a Vessel’s Facing is either North (N), East (E), South (S) or West (W).
East and West are each other’s opposites, North and South are each other’s opposites.

A valid move by a vessel consists of a list of atomic steps whose costs sum to less than the vessel’s movement points.

Cruising is an atomic step costing 1. Cruising moves a vessel from the square they are in to an orthogonally adjacent Square in the direction of that vessel’s facing. Cruising may be denoted with a “C”.

Rotating is an atomic step costing 1 if the vessel is cumbersome and 0 if it is not. Rotating changes the facing of a vessel to a facing that is not the opposite of its current facing. Rotating may be denoted by the First Letter of the new facing.

Add to the end of the paragraph in Fleets starting with “Battleships”:

Battleships are cumbersome and have 3 movement points

Add to the end of the paragraph in Fleets starting with “Submarines”:

Submarines are not cumbersome and have 3 movement points

If Maritime Inaction has not passed change:

As a Maritime action, a Captain may send the Admiral a private message listing the square their Vessel/s moves to, their Vessel/s’s facing, and the square/s their Vessel/s shoot at.

to:

As a Maritime action, a Captain may send the Admiral a private message listing at most one valid move for each of their vessels, and the square/s their Vessel/s shoot at.

If Maritime Inaction has passed:

remove each bullet point in the rule “The watch” that starts with “Move”.

Add a bullet point to list in “The Watch”:

*Make a valid Move with a vessel they control.

In “The Watch”, replace “As a Maritime action, a Captain may send the Admiral a private message listing the square their Vessel/s moves to, their Vessel/s’s facing, and the square/s their Vessel/s shoot at.” with:-

If they have not already done so during the current Watch, a Captain may send the Admiral a private message describing exactly one Order that they wish to give during this Watch. Valid Orders are to:-

* Move a Battleship they control up to 3 squares in the direction it is facing, or up to 2 squares perpendicular to the direction it is facing, or up to 1 squares in the opposite direction to the direction it is facing.
* Move a Battleship they control 1 square in the direction it is facing, then move one square perpendicular to the way it is facing.
* Move a Submarine they control up to 3 adjacent squares in any combination of directions.
* Have a Battleship they control Shoot at up to 2 squares. (A Battleship cannot Shoot at a square adjacent to the square it is located in; a Battleship can choose to shoot at the same square twice.)
* Have a Submarine they control Shoot at up to 1 square; this square must be between the Submarine and the grid edge the Submarine is Facing.
* Add a Battleship or Submarine under their control to a grid square of their choice and with a facing of their choice (unless the Captain giving this Order already controls a Vessel).

If the proposal “Enemy Ship Sighted!” enacted, add “Battleships Shoot a Manhattan distance.” just before the final bracket of the fourth action in the list, and replace “this square must be between the Submarine and the grid edge the Submarine is Facing” with “this square must be from a single row (if the Submarine is Facing East (E) or West (W)) or column (if the Submarine is Facing North (N) or South (S)) which is directly between the Submarine and the grid edge the Submarine is Facing.”

If the proposal “Gone Swimming” enacted, replace “A Captain may go Diving, as a Maritime action, by rolling” with “When a Captain goes Diving, the Admiral rolls” and add to the bulleted list in “The Watch”:-

* Go Diving

Remove every sentence containing the phrase “Maritime Action” from the ruleset.

Repeal “Naval Terms”.
