Useful Campaign Information
Anyone can order an assassination attempt! The attempt will cost 5 kudos points whether the attempt is undertaken or not. If the assassination is sanctioned by Rashid al-Din ('the old man of the mountain') then it succeeds! There is no defence against the 'fidais' who always get through.
Players who are killed off during the campaign by any means will return as a new character. Their kudos is suspended until the end of the campaign, their locations and feudal troops are given over to the faction leader as vassel property. Disputed will be dealt with by a 'court* of 'barons' appointed by the umpire in The Star' court house in the parish of Rusper every other Monday eventide during choir practice.
Players captured can be ransomed by paying kudos relevant to their position within the faction, i.e. faction leader 12 kudos, second in faction 8 kudos, other players 6 kudos, sub gens, of players 4 kudos. This is non negotiable as historically nobles where always ransomed eventually, although the process may take some time!!
Some players may have or may acquire some naval capability, Galleys can carry up to 2000 infantry, and transports can carry 500 cavalry and 1000 infantry or 3000 infantry.
