This is an on-line tool to generate Hârnic
Manors. For a meaning of terms unclear refer to Columbia Games
``HârnManor'' publication. This tool assumes you are passingly
familiar with the rules and terms specified therein.
Use the form below to specify as much as you want.
Come back to the top and choose among the formats given. Everything
left blank will be randomly generated or set to a default value. Some
entries do not make much sense when they default, but that is your
option. Here are some more hints:
The FORM option below can be used to fine-tune
the output of the script. Otherwise passing the output back into
script can be considered a conversion into another format. If you want an empty field, then enter a blank
space or a dash. This should give you what you want. Truely empty
fields will be randomly generated. There are keywords that will perform special
action, e.g. ``Warhorse'' in the `Name/Occupation' section
will enter a 1800 in the cost column (if that was left empty). All
keywords are capitalized. Here are those that may not be obvious:
"Lady-in-waiting", "Sage/Tutor", "Lord's Kennel",
"Lord's Falconry", "Light Foot", "Yeoman (LF)", "Yeoman (LB)",
"(Craftsman, GM)", "Ivinia" Anybody except those whose names carry
``Bailiff'' in them is considered a normal vassal with
respect to feudal payment. A ratio of 1:1 between pasture and field is
assumed. Where values of the previous year are required they are
assumed to be identical to this year's values. The script has a certain order and it does not
calculate backwards, e.g. if you specify cash in ``privy purse'' the
script will not work out a distribution of income and expenses that
will fit - it will just not recalculate ``privy purse''. Order of
calculation is straight forward. Two caveats: If you specify more than two wifes
(e.g. for Ivinians), the cost for all secondary wifes is not reduced
as per rules. If a herald is specified, his nobility is randomly
determined, the odds are 1:1. In neither case does the herald count
toward the number of palfreys supported, if generated. If you
encounter one of these situations, preroll the questionable numbers
and fill them in by hand or correct them in the filled-out FORM
sheet.
