Bofa orders

mepbmlist
#1

At present we introduce new players to Bofa with around 1/2 the orders and
NO emissary (or Em orders) and limited Mage stuff as well. (Note all nations
start with Hire armies at no cost).

Then on turn 3 we give all the nations a big Emissary character and the
additional orders

Emissary Orders
Order Number Order Description Restriction Difficulty May Increase Skill
Rank? Order Code
525 Influence Other's Population Centre Loyalty e average increase InfOthr
555 Create Camp e easy increase CreCmp
949 Transfer Ownership e easy TrOwner

What extra orders should we do as the game advances?

I was thinking on turn 1
Name Character 725, 731, 734

Turn 2
etc

Ideally by the end of the game (turn 10) they should have access to the
majority of the used orders.

I'm not an experienced player by any means, only one completed BOFA
game and a current BOFA game and 1650 game, but I can think of a
couple of orders that would add to an understanding of the larger
game as a whole.

Command:
235 Attack Nation
260 Siege Pop Center
430 Troops Manuvers
745 Create Company
750 Disband Company

Agent:
620 Kidnap Character
905 Scout Army

Emissary
500 Recruit Double Agent
520 Influence Own PC
585 Uncover Secrets

Mage:
705 Research Spell
710 Pentice Magery

Misc:
948 Transport by Caravan

Obviously there are related orders that should be included as well
like move company etc.. These are the big ones I can think of that
would give a better grasp of the whole rule system. Also maybe having
a few artifacts that could be located and recovered as well. I leave
it to wiser more experienced minds to decide if and when to introduce
them. :slight_smile:

Steve (A new but very satisfied player)

Any thoughts guys?
