EiA:Landtag

New Landtag system

This is a new, still untested Landtag system designed to make the Landtag a lot less time consuming and arguably more fun.

Prussia gets one motion each economic phase. All other players get one motion per year, used on any turn.

Old Landtag System: Voting for motions

Every December, after Economic phase, Landtag assembles and each Minister may propose one motion. Proposals are made in the order chosen by Ministerpräsident. If Ministerpräsident is independent, then proposals are made in reverse party size order (smallest goes first).

After a proposal has been made, each party votes for or against or abstains, according to their agenda. Independents vote for any motion in their sphere and half against (other half abstains) any motion that is next to their sphere and oppose any motion that is further away from their sphere.

Player controlled parties cannot vote for an agenda that is more than two steps away from their party and cannot vote against any agenda within their sphere. Other than that, they are free to vote or abstain as they please.

Party spheres and debate

Party spheres are as follow:

Liberal - Left - Center – Right – Conservative

Debate for a motion is done as follows.

Once motion and sides in the vote have been declared, debate leaders are chosen. Ministerpräsident, if involved, takes command of his side automatically. If not, any minister will do so, ties going to the largest party involved. Then, a day of debate (regular EiA combat, specific rules below) is played out. Any casualties taken are considered votes lost. When morale level of a group is reached, debate continues, but those whose morale level was reached no longer cause loss of vote to the opposition.

Once three rounds of debate are through, votes are tallied.

Morale values: Liberals and Conservatives have morale 4, Left and Right has morale of 3, Center has morale of 2.
