[Septimius Severus]

Human Freelancer/Privateer nation:

A singe human played nation, in this case, Atlantis. This is great position for someone who fancies themselves as a mercenary for hire/pirate and wants to play without the complications of team communication and diplomacy. The position is impartial and unbias, thus can be played by anyone even game admins if need be. The player who plays can name them what they like, or I can give them a merc sounding aquatic name.

Simple rules:

1. The freelancer nation's thematic path is water and they are located in the cental underwater lake site.
2. The cap is inviolate and cannot be attacked and taken by human players (except to pass through the cap, see below).
3. The freelancers can attack indies but cannot attack the AI or human players unless under contract.
4. Freelancers cap can be located on water related magic sites, gold producing sites, given starting troops, or given Krakens for cap defense just in case.

The player can set up shop in the Deva's Den and can offer a list of services they are willing to provide to interested teams, requests can be made via PM to preserve anonymity.

Example services:

a. Province intel (scouting report) - 30 gold
b. Forge a water gem based item - 40 gold and up
c. site search (water only) - 75 gold
d. Stealth preach a target (for 3 turns?) 100 gold
e. Assasination attempt - 125 gold
f. Attack a single province or any province of a single nation AI or human:
- small attack (20 sacreds) - 150 gold
- medium attack (40 sacreds) - 300 gold
- kill them all! (60 sacreds) - 600 gold
g. Attack a team (any available provinces)
- 5 turn contract - 800 gold
- 10 turn contract - 1,600 gold
h. Toll passage (one way, granted to any army to move through the central cap for one turn) - 2,500 gold

These services help to offset the cost of recruiting troops and keep their prices competitive with in-game mercs. The above is just an example of what can be offered.
