- Thou Shalt Play With Honor
The essential thing is not to conquer,
but to fight well and have fun. Thou shalt finish any game thy starteth.
Thou shalt fight for thine own honor, and fight to the end.
He who dishonors himself shall be publicized, remembered, and
punished in future Warlords activities!
- Peace is not an Option!
For each game thou starteth,
thou shalt fight for twenty turns against three human foes.
The finest warriors of the round shall sally forth for
the next round. He who surviveth the tournament shall
be known henceforth as "The Greatest" - at least until
the next tournament!
- Thou Shalt Use All Features of the Game:
Thou mayst do
almost anything possible to
win using the Warlords application only, including reverting,
peeking at other kingdoms, and previewing ruin contents.
- Thou Shalt Not Cheat:
Thou shalt not edit the Warlords
application, the game file, battle tools, or any
scenario data, nor shalt thou change a previous player's
turn or enhance a human's forces, or thy disembodied head
shall be planted on a pole and denied the glory of battle
forevermore!
- Thou Shalt Carefully Brew thy Mighty Battles:
Thou shalt
carefully enter thy army strengths into WarBOT,
and not do better in combat than it says. If thou
makest more than three mistakes, thy decapitated body shall
be drawn and quartered, and thy kingdom ruled by robots!
- Thou Shalt Record thy Exploits for Posterity:
Thou shalt use the turn report template to record thy armies' and
hero's exploits to all each turn, to glorify thy name - and allow
thy enemies to confirm thy honor.
- Thou Shalt Limit Thy Heroes and Allies:
Except in special scenarios, only one hero may defend thy banner
and thy kingdom at any time. One ally may come with each
replacement hero, One may come from each ruin, and Two
may come from each stronghold. Thou shalt disband any
others immediately. Thou must follow these rules, or thy skull
shall be shattered and thy nation led by mindless electrons!
- Thou Shalt Move Quickly:
Thou hast eight-and-forty hours to send thy move to the
Warlords
II Remailer from the time it is sent to thee, but Saturday doth
not count. None may substitute for thee, but in each match
thou hast four emergency "timeouts" of up to four-and-twenty
additional hours. Further delay shall see thy head planted upon a
pole and thy kingdom controlled by cowardly cyborgs!
- Thou Shalt not Keep Secrets:
Thou shalt share all conversations with all players in the game,
thou shalt not falsify email messages, and thou shalt
confine "secret" messages to the signposts and cities of the map.
- Thou Shalt be Aided by thy Moderators:
Thy doubts and concerns may be soothed by reading the rules
and consulting the Moderators' Bible, and then writing your
concern and indicating the relevant rules in supplication to the
council of moderators, who will confer, decide the issue,
and provide judgments and assistance where needed.
