It is an analysis of average turn lengths across some sims (generally ones I play, and ones I could find who lasted around 10 turns at least). You can judge the results for yourself.

The Eight Princes

The year is now 1295 and the British Isles were about to change forever. Edward “Long Shanks” remains the king of the unstable Britain. It seemed every king that ruled is cursed with civil wars and rebellion since the rule of Richard The Lionheart. Edward, however, ruled with a strong fist and did not tolerate rebels or bandits. His first order of military business was the Normans who controlled what we know as Ireland. After his Anti-Norman Campaign he gave power back to the Irish Nobles and fighting erupted between the powerful families in Ireland. There were 2 main families fighting for domination, one was the De Lacy family headed by Henry De Lacy. The other being the Duffy family headed by Sean Duffy.

The death of the previous Scottish king left Scotland powerless. The only heir to the throne was the previous kings daughter, Margaret. Margaret, only being 4 years old was powerless as nobles from around Scotland began making decisions for her. Edward seeing this as a time to strike began his campaign against Scotland. In a few decisive battles Scotland signed a surrender that gave Britain complete power over Scotland. This did not stop all attempts at freedom, however. A man by the name of William Wallace is a local in a village and is noted for his hate for King Edward "Longshanks" and his skill in battle. Only time will tell when this marvelous warrior will strike out.

With only one king left in the British Isles it seems like it is just a matter of time before all the lands let down their arms and submit to the British rule. Perhaps more nobles will rise to challenge the British and end their rule. Only time will tell.

There are still some rules which haven't been finalized, so opinions are still welcomed and needed. Only a few rules are needed and then ruler sign-ups will begin. Come contribute to the remaining rules or come sign-up and wait for ruler sign-ups. They should start very soon.

To let you know more about the sim; it is set in the time period right after the death of Sima Yan or Emperor Wu. Consequently, the period is thrown into chaos, due to the new emperor's weakness and bad council. Eight men, who all have legitimate claim to the throne through their lineage, rise to power and prepare to either protect the new emperor or overthrow him.

Unique aspects of the sim include a dueling system that takes into effect the intelligence and not just the strength of the duelists. And each city ruler will be given a map of their city which includes a central building in which they will reside. Through KTs, they can build this city up by building civil, military, and commercial buildings. Battles will use the same map if the city goes under siege. Thus, this creates a good place for plots as well as battles. To see more come visit the site:
