The TattleMaster is BattleMaster's first, and only, OOC newspaper dedicated to discussions about the game of BattleMaster itself. Here you will find information regarding bugfixes, new features, changes in game mechanics, and probably even a few FAQs and interviews.
Title ChangesOctober 5, 2007
From the news ticker: "Regional titles have been simplified. All dukes remain dukes, and everyone else is now baron/baroness instead of the region-dependent titles in use before. This should make it easier to understand what rank in the hierarchy everyone has, there really was no point in having people on the same "level" have different titles."

War Island ChangesOctober 5, 2007
A slight change has been made to the war islands (South-East Island and South-West Island). Nobles on the war islands will no longer be allowed to send gold home to their families. Tom posted the following message in-game to all nobles on the war islands:

GM Announcement from Tom
Message sent to War Islands
Family Deposits Disabled
You can no longer send gold to your family from the war islands.
For some reason, the war islands are not really being played as such by too many players, causing frustration for those players who expected a war island to be about, well, war.
One of the likely reasons people who don't actually want war are playing on a war island is the ability to gather gold for your family, so we're taking that away. Please leave the war islands to people who actually want constant war.

New Experimental Trade System on TestingSeptember 27, 2007
A new experimental trade system has been made available on Testing islands. This new system allows region lords to send out caravans to other regions to sell or buy food, without the need for a trader. The new system is experimental, and the trades will not actually happen. You can read Tom's message here.

Council Position Holders are now Imperial KnightsSeptember 10, 2007
A recent unannounced change to the game is that all characters holding council positions are now automatically set as Imperial Knights, and cannot swear oaths to a region lord. As a result, if a council member is a region lord that region is automatically an Imperial region. This is due to the fact that being a part of a duchy entails an oath of fealty to the duke, and council members cannot have an oath of fealty to anyone other than the ruler.
