There will be a condensed guide to all of this upon OOC creation, correct? It's definitely a lot to take in. A handy cheat sheet may help immensely.

One of the great things about this, is that I do all the nasty number crunching, allowing you guys to focus on the IC. The mechanics in place are here simply for God modding prevention. If it were up to me, this would be all totally free form, but experience has taught me you cannot trust people to be sensible enough. 

Your nation stats will be administered by me, and all you will need to do is reference it. 

In effect, the hider of your nation at the bottom of the OOC will be your cheat sheet. The only thing I can think of that you will really need to remember is how far troops can move, and how long to wait before you can go sailing.

However I'd be a fool to ignore the wisdom of the players. What kind of information would you like to see condensed? 

DOH just remembered I forgot the Season mechanics. This is a simple piece of kit: 4 seasons in a year, each season is a game turn. They will end periodicly, after everyone has been given adequate time to post (48 hours max in my book). I'll go onto make a section for that ASAP.
