Re: End Game Slaughter Moves
I'd like to see, and would be willing to help on (though my knowledge pales in comparison to the vets), a stickied post that was called something like Standard House Rules. It would have a list like:
1. No Mist of Enchantment / damage spell / retreat
2. No stealing Bogus commands
3. etc.
Similarly, it could have a definition what is generally prohibited in a NAP with numbered items, e.g
1. No attacking w/o x# turns notice
2. Stealthy troops are allowed to pass through a NAP partners lands
3. etc.
Then when starting a game, you could say all Standard House Rules apply. Or, if there is something you don't want to follow, you could say for example, we'll use Standard House Rules except for #2, 5, etc. NAP rules except #2.
Maybe it is just the (ex-) lawyer in me's love of clarity but I think it would be useful and save a lot of time. I realize there is no consensus on anything, but that is why having numbers would let the host decide what to include / exclude. And would help noobs have a compiled list to refer to at the beginning of a game w/o anyone having to always re-type this stuff out.
