Well there is no hurry. If someone else comes and wants the Byzantines or Turks then take HRE, otherwise take Byzantines.
I am working on the Events file now.
In terms of House rules, I was thinking we keep it simple. If noone plays as HRE, then no attacking the AI controled HRE. If they attack you then you can retaliate but try to make peace asap.
Should we say "No building new cities, only re-establishing raized ones"? I think that is a good one.
Aside from that, is there any other House Rules needed?
Should I post the actual game thread here or in a new thread?
I have no idea how to determine the play order.....
