Since the rules for battlin’ have yet
To do more than a hole-y fish-net
The way that it goes,
Is I now propose
Add “Sea Battles” to the Ruleset:
If a captain be sailin’ at sea,
Then challenge another may e
(If the other’s at sea
And has less army)
To a “Sea Battle” for great vict’ry.The outcome of Battle’s decided
By the rolling of two DICE, X-sided
One for each Cap’n
Xs value shall happen
To equal the army each has guided.The victor is e who rolled higher,
For the loser: a funeral pyre
Since when e’s defeated
Eir army’s depleted
To nine-tenths of what it was prior.
There are some flaws, but most of them can be worked out by other proposals.

Brilliant limericks.
Is the sea battle automatic, or does the challenged captain have an opportunity to decline? (My reading is that it’s automatic.)
