Alternative Rules (Draft)

I read it! This is crazy... I liked the part about diplomacy the most. Joining 50 Vampire Lords to your faction is normal :D
The part about the Teapot and Amulet of the Navigator was hilarious, a new composite artifact :D
I didn't understand the part about disbanding skeletons and some kind of hassle with experience after the first read...
I don't understand why these rules are even needed???

The best rules are the fewest rules!

But try them out - join them! To do this, you either need to develop Diplomacy, which is currently quite neglected, or have a HUGE army; I don't think they will join you before the 4th week without Diplomacy... And whoever brought the game to the point where an opponent can join 50 vampires without Diplomacy is to blame, they shouldn't drag it out!
I'll explain about the Teapot and Wings - this is done so that there are no useless artifacts.
About disbanding skeletons - it's necessary to somehow restrain the Necromancers without too much hindering their natural development (for example, on day 117, a good player will have 260 of them - and only 130 will remain, so that they don't rely solely on them, but also develop normally in the castle!). This still needs to be tested, maybe one-third is enough, not half.
About the experience hassle - something needs to be done with these Necromanceresses and Mullich (regarding Mullich, it's quite simple - he can be the "right hand" of the lord, but not the lord himself).

P.S. And in general, this is just a project - that is, criticism and your suggestions are implied. And I think it is necessary to test such "unconventional" rules: maybe organize some kind of tournament based on them:rolleyes: ...

Added after 6 minutes

Calculate how many days it takes to build all the structures in the Conflux. :)

Or better yet, this upgrade should be completely banned, as it is now?:)
