<![CDATA[TripleA Politics]]>Im new to TripleA Politics, this thread is aimed at pre modern communication's , so delivered in person, its specifically for the Sengoku Jidai map with human multi-player in mind.

When is the best time in a turn to have a Politics phase?
All players have the politics phase at the;

  • 1 beginning of a turn
  • 2 end of a turn

.
Each player has a Politics phase in their turn;

  • 3 beginning of each player phase
  • 4 end of each player phase

.
.
Can I remove the two factions Rebels and none from the Politics table below?

I have a philosophy of every action should have a cost, but sometimes with upkeep in particular, a faction ends with 4pu or less, so cannot even try Politics.

So with a FFA game in mind should Politics have a cost?

In the next release the Rebels will move a step closer to being a playable faction, they will have Kaga province as a Capital and more reinforcements appearing in Kaga. (Well they did hold it for almost 100 years)

Im still not sure about making them a full political "player", leaving them as an enemy to all for now.

This reflects delays in communication.

If the rebels are going to be taking actions, they need to be a distinct player that has diplomatic relations. Even if the rebels don't actually move and are placed by events, they need a combat phase to attack. The Iki-Iki leagues were a real player in Japanese politics and deserve serious treatment.
