Again, see that in those cases. having to travel to a province (and back) each season means that, at two travels per month, how long until they are attacked by highwaymen?
Of course, you may assume a governor travels with enough escort to avoid it (I think he should be made immune), but others will face them eventually...

That's not much different than the bawdyhouse though, with half the chance of it happening.
However, how about allowing characters to hire personal guards if thiey wish, reducing the chances.
I think 30 cr for bodyguards, reducing it to 2. (Not cumulative with the 3+ characters).
Or 100 for a unit of personal guards stopping it happening entirely).
Both would be hired for the month.

It's fine for me, but I'd add a detail: governors travelling to their provinces count as having a free full escort.

Taken form the Applications forum Auust 1631: NB: Sam, now that we are likely to have a few Provincial Governors (who must currently spend one month per season in their provinces) and may also have a Provincial Canon (who must somehow spend one week per month at his provincial cathedral) we could really do with a ruling on the travel question. Will we retain the current 'beam to or from Paris as a premonthly then stay at the new destination all month' or adopt the 'it takes a week of travel time to journey between provinces' suggestion ? Having asked marriage to his la dy, Huillaume plans this month to visit her family, so this point becomes a little urgent for me... I'm assuming the "1 wek to travel any province from Paris" and escort rules apply, but I'd like to have it confirmed or denied.

Excuse me to try to move the discussion (again) here, but I really believe it's better to keep rules discussion toguether: OOC: With the Travel rules being adopted, that will be Flanders now (or Aquitaine if you don't like Flanders) View AttachmentSorry, my bad. Having just consulted the schematic that should be Picardy, not Flanders :blush: While it's not realistic making Picardy or normandy as far from Paris as Gascony or Provence, Iconcede it's a rules wise solution, easy andplayable, but it also has some other consequences: Provinicial rivalties: do gascony then have Aquitanie as a rival? Regiments: does the champagne regiment now become the Aquitanie one? Does Hillaume Barony now be in Aquitanie, or in Picardy? Do the wealth stats for Champagne now be those from Aquitanie?

Provincial applications:
In the applications tables there appear the Provincial Governors in the Government table (Baron/Bishop) or the Military Governors (marechal de champ)in the Military table. Are they the same office, or each province has a civilian governor anda military one?

Basically, everywhere you see 'Champagne', be it in the rules, tables or message board, this should now read 'Aquitaine'.
My understanding is that the are the same office, those getting there by a civil route (by virtue of being a Baron or Bishop) being termed Provincial Governor and those getting there by a military route (by virtue of military rank) being termed Military Governors.
The one anomaly is that Military Governors get bonuses according to Admin Skill at the application stage, but Provincial Governors don't. It would be a good idea to extent these bonuses to Provincial Governors as well.
NB I've updated the Travelling to the Provinces.doc attached to the first post so that it now includes amendments regards hiring bodyguards etc.

Suggested addendas to travel and province rules: - Governors travellin gto their office provinces (and anyone travelling with them) have the quivalent to a 100 L escort (free of charge).
- Players have a +1 DM for a governor aplication if they are from the specific province or have served on its and -1 if from rival province or have served in enemy Regiment(non-Frontier) Regiment (non- cummulative)
- If the governor of a province raises takes for money, the amount in the Embezzlement Tables is modified by +10% for rich provinces and -10& for poor ones (as defined in 3.5)
E.g.; let's imagine Huillaume applies for Governor of Gascony. Being native from it, he has a +1 on the roll to achieve it.
Assuming he becomes the Governor, he then travels there and Gabriel Lannes, wanting to visit Acelina's family, decides (both players must agree and specify in the orders) to go with him. As it's the Governor's party, they have, without paying for it, an escort that makes them inmune to robbers.
If Huillaume, being again in financial straits, decides to raise taxes, risking to be discovered on a 11+. This usually will give him 1000 L ,but as Gascony is defined in 3.5 as a poor province, he only obtains 900 L for this level of risk.Disclaimer: this is only an example, Huillaume does not appoint himself for any Governorship, as he feels comfortable at his current appointment.

The update already makes provision for Governors having escorts. Anyone travelling with them will naturally be protected too.
> If the governor of a province raises takes for money, the amount in the Embezzlement Tables is modified by +10% for rich provinces and -10& for poor ones (as defined in 3.5)
Since today is the deadline for Governorship applications, this isn't really fair on those who have designated poor provinces is it ?

This dependson if they intend to embezzle ... In this sense, I guess that the DM of +/1 can be more decisive for which province they ask for, as most of them have no DMs for SL...
