Divine Right - Crusader Kings Campaign
This campaign will focus on empowering your dynasty over the course of the High Middle Ages and securing undeniable influence over the annals of history.
House Rules
1. Scoring - How to acquire Influence for your dynasty
The Influence of each character will be calculated as the number of holdings held by or in vassalage to all of his titles, and a dynasty's Influence will be the total Influence of all characters in his dynasty. Holdings can only be counted once in this scoring. All titles will be important for securing your dynasties power and resources, but only by spreading your influence abroad can you ensure your dynasty's impact on history.
-Example 1: A character has the titles for the duchy of Brittany and the duchy of Normandy, plus he has two of the county titles in the duchy of Normandy. If Brittany has 15 holdings in it, and Normandy has 13 holdings in it, the character's Influence is 28. His county titles do not add anything in addition to this score because those holdings are already counted in the Influence for the duchy titles. If this character additionally held two county titles across the Straits of Dover in the duchy of Sussex, each containing 3 holdings, his Influence would increase to 34.
-Example 2: A character has the titles for the duchy of Brittany and the duchy of Normandy, plus he has two of the county titles in the duchy of Normandy and his oldest son holds a county in Normandy and his cousin holds two counties in Sussex. This player would normally be able to add all the Influence for each character in his dynasty to his total dynasty influence, but the son's titles will not be added in this scenario because these holdings are already counted in the scoring of his father's duchy titles. In contrast, the holdings under the cousin will be added to the player's Influence.
2. Elimination - A new opportunity
If a player's dynasty completely loses all playable titles they may resume play as any character who is a vassal (directly or indirectly) of the player with the current highest score in their tier, with no titles higher than counties, and no other landed dynasty members outside his scoring titles. The player will remain in his starting tier.
3. At the start of any session, a player can choose to control any member of his dynasty instead of the character he ended as on his last session. Players may not switch characters in the middle of a session.
Rewards:
- The top score from each tier will receive a prize with the first tier having first choice and ascending from there.
- Nation selection in a future campaign will go in order of final score ranking in this campaign, except those who received prizes will pick last (in order of final score).
