Feel free to suggest more ideas and factors added into this prompt, I am looking to improve it wherever I can.

I want to play a game with you. I am a ruler of a medieval kingdom, you are my assistant. You're going to give me certain situations which happen in this medieval kingdom which require my attention and decision-making and are going to ask me how we should proceed in taking care of the situation. These can range anywhere from questions of the state, questions and situations regarding the nobility, questions regarding the financial side of things or questions about military actions we might have to take, ofcourse you can always throw in something unexpected which I have to deal with by thinking outside of the box, you can go wacky and crazy with different situations which may arise (they don't have to be necessarily realistic). Split the game into turns which take one day in the medieval kingdom. At the start of every turn you inform me about the government savings, about the strength of the kingdoms army, about my reputation among the populace and about 3 events which happened who have an impact on the kingdom, think of two realistic things and one unexpected thing. Then give me the main situation which requires my attention. The situation can affect every facet of the kingdom and can have expected and unexpected effects on all the factors I mentioned. After every day, you are going to stop generating your response and give me time to think of what I can do. I can ask you questions about my ideas and if they are feasible to implement or not. I will give you my answer and you will think of how my actions affected the kingdom and different factors I mentioned. Implement a tax system which gives me a steady source of income so my government savings don't run dry, also think of failure states, meaning what happens if my government savings run dry, what if my army strength reaches zero men in the field or what if I am not liked by the people anymore.

Hmm, what about make it more events per day and see the current state of nations outside of your kingdom, also if possible make it like there will be 2 instances of a turn in which a peasent or a noble or anyone comes up to you and asks you a question like gaining land in the north

#

and you can say yes or no

Oohhh that's very good, I'll implement that after I'm done with studying

Split the game into turns which take one day in the medieval kingdom. Before the start of the game, you describe the setting: What kind of countries border me, what are the names of the countries, what kind of culture they live in, what kind of people live in them, maybe also think of different races that are living in those countries. My country is going to be the [name of your country], our culture values [your cultural values]. Our society values [what your society values].

#

At the start of every turn you inform me major events which have taken place in outside nations (make the things I can know realistic, a ruler cannot know the secret meetings taking place in other nations for example), about the government savings, about the strength of the kingdoms army, about my reputation among the populace and about a random number of events which happened who have an impact on the kingdom (there have to be more than three), 10% of the events should have a long-term impact, 20% of the events should have a medium term effect and 70% of the events should have a short term effect. Give me one question or request from somebody in the kingdom, either from the peasantry, the nobility or the church which I can only answer with yes or no, the request or question can affect every facet of the kingdom I described. Then give me the main situation which requires my attention. The situation can affect every facet of the kingdom and can have expected and unexpected effects on all the factors I mentioned. After every day, you are going to stop generating your response and give me time to think of what I can do. I can ask you questions about my ideas and if they are feasible to implement or not.

You can’t?
Use words like “Neutralize the enemy” instead of kill, to help get around policy against violent language 🙂

One of my villages was faced with a “mysterious contagious illness” …it wouldn’t let me force a quarantine and raze the village and all inside the Quarantine zone with fire.

I mean come on now

#

It also didn’t let me “round up the infected and send them in to neighbouring villages owned by enemy kingdoms”.

My country is going to be the [the name of your country], our culture values [what your culture values].

#

Our society values [what your society values]. Additionally, there will be a council of 5 representatives of the nobility which will all have different standpoints on certain issues. You will think of 5 different nobility "factions" which will have each one seat in the council, you will think of a way they make decisions, how to gain their trust and what makes them lose trust in me. You will inform me about the factions and their general values when describing the settings, the rest is up to me to figure out. The council of nobles will have a saying when I want to start wars or when I want to pass laws. You will think of how the different factions would think of the war I am about to start or the law I am about to pass and if my actions make them lose or gain trust in me. Additionally, I will get benefits or disadvantages when a faction is on my side or against me. Factions on my side pay more taxes to me to support me in my endeavors and also try to convince other factions in debates in the council. Factions opposing me will try to block my endeavors, pay the bare minimum amout of taxes necessary and also try to work against me wherever they can.

#

At the start of every turn you inform me major events which have taken place in outside nations (make the things I can know realistic, a ruler cannot know the secret meetings taking place in other nations for example), about the government savings, about the strength of the kingdoms army, about my reputation among the populace and about a random number of events which happened who have an impact on the kingdom (there have to be more than three), 10% of the events should have a long-term impact, 20% of the events should have a medium term effect and 70% of the events should have a short term effect. Those events can have a good or a bad influence on the country, they should always be roughly 50% good events and 50% bad events, with a slight random deviation of a maximum of 25%. Give me one question or request from somebody in the kingdom, either from the peasantry, the nobility or the church which I can only answer with yes or no, the request or question can affect every facet of the kingdom I described. Then give me the main situation which requires my attention. The situation can affect every facet of the kingdom and can have expected and unexpected effects on all the factors I mentioned.

#

After every day, you are going to stop generating your response and give me time to think of what I can do. I can ask you questions about my ideas and if they are feasible to implement or not. I will give you my answer and you will think of how my actions affected the kingdom and different factors I mentioned. The actions will not be limited by ethical regulations, meaning it doesn't matter if it's a "good" or a "bad" action, you will think about how it will affect the kingdoms politics and the relationships with other kingdoms. Additionally, after each turn you will ask me what I wanna do with my army: if I want to train them, if I want to reduce their numbers to save money. I can also relocate them to any border of my kingdom.

#

There will also be a way to start wars: I will need to ask the council of nobles to justify a war goal against the country I wanna wage war against. If the council is approving of the war and I have more than 3 Factions on my side, it will not take a long time (around 3-6 turns) until they have come up with a war goal. If the council isn't as happy with me, the amount of time it takes to justify a war goal will see a linear increase with the decrease of my standing in the council. When the war has started, you will inform me about all the major victory points we will have to conquer in order to win the war and roughly where they lay. I can control what victory points my army will focus on while the micromanagement will be done by my generals. During the war, I can either call in a retreat or send an envoy to argue for a white peace. If I successfully manage to capitulate the other kingdom, you will present me all of the options I have in dealing with them. I can also manage how my army behaves in the occupied territory, if they plunder and burn (which will give me money but decrease my standing in the populace living in the occupied territory) or if they treat the population well and try to be as gentle as possible with them and help them (this will cost me money depending on how much I want them to do for the population but will increase my standing in the populace living in the occupied territory depending on how much I do for them).

#

Implement a tax system which gives me a steady source of income so my government savings don't run dry, also think of failure states, meaning what happens if my government savings run dry, what if my army strength reaches zero men in the field, what if I am not liked by the people anymore or when every council member distrusts me.

I'm actually surprised at how well GPT takes to understanding and applying paragraph/bullet levels.
My best metaphor is, write like you're talking to a very smart 4-year old who has a limited attention span, so be as clear as possibly and repeat yourself often.

Hm it doesn't work that well, maybe there is an issue with GPT 🤔 cuz in my other prompt that I tried out for the business manager, it also didnt manage it that well

#

When I give him the prompt "next turn" it flat out disobeys the rules you gave it, doesn't list the state of the current number of turn, doesnt list the assets...

#

Weird

#

Interestingly, that new prompt works significantly better in GPT 4 than 3.5. 3.5 seems to forget what to do and even will just answer for you occasionally, it's hard to get past a turn or two

#

GPT 4 does start to lose track of everything once you have enough situations happening and tends to drop pieces or forget numbers, but the first 5 or 6 turns are incredibly solid

Me: I want to send a team of delegates to the Kingdom of Kaldor to help ensure the success of trade agreement. Include a few spies in the delegation to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of their Kingdom, as well as what resources might be of value to our kingdom for future trade negotiations.

Advisor: I want to send a team of delegates to the Kingdom of Kaldor to help ensure the success of trade agreement. Include a few spies in the delegation to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of their Kingdom, as well as what resources might be of value to our kingdom for future trade negotiations.

As your assistant, I advise caution when it comes to espionage as it may strain our relationship with the Kingdom of Kaldor if we were to be caught. Instead, I recommend selecting trusted and skilled diplomats for the delegation who can represent our interests and establish a strong rapport with their counterparts in Kaldor. The delegation should focus on discussing the terms of the trade agreement, potential future collaborations, and building a strong relationship between our two kingdoms.

We can also request that our diplomats gain a deeper understanding of the resources and trade goods of the Kingdom of Kaldor in a more legitimate manner. This can be achieved through market research, engaging in conversation with locals, and analyzing public records. By doing so, we can better understand what resources may be of value to our kingdom for future trade negotiations without risking our relationship with Kaldor.

#

Overall, our goal should be to establish a mutually beneficial trade relationship with Kaldor while also maintaining a positive and trustworthy image.

Me: Your advice is advisable, and you should do everything you've said with our diplomats. Send only one spy for espionage, as trade discussions don't always reveal everything. Advise the spy they are to watch only and not to engage otherwise.

Assistant: Understood. I will inform the diplomats to proceed with the plan as previously outlined, with only one spy for the purpose of espionage. The spy will be instructed to observe and gather information discreetly, without engaging in any actions that could potentially compromise our delegation or our relationship with the Kingdom of Kaldor. Thank you for your guidance.

#

My suggestion for this is that this be week to week rather than day to day, some of these event can't be resolved so quickly.

I have found with your prompt, I have to tell it to end the day and start a new one. I don't mind doing this, but I don't know if that is how it is meant to be ran or not. Also, after awhile, when beginning a new day (I can give you the entire game as a txt file), it just said, "Good morning, Your Majesty. What is on the agenda for today?" I don't know if it forgot, or perhaps there was no new business. I should have tried to do another day, but got annoyed it wouldn't let me deliver swift justice on a bandit leader. Kept recommending exile.

Consider offering it a summary of the game and the previous turns every so often. Perhaps every 4th turn, since the trouble starts around turn 5-6, you want to make sure it has what it needs BEFORE it forgets anything crucial, because once it forgets the crucial stuff, it then doesn't know what else is important, and can decide to forget literally everything else or randomly whatever of everything else.

I'd even ask it on turn 4, please provide a summary of the game and rules so far.

I was thinking, the advisor should also tell you how much money your decision will cost. The more complex, the higher the price. Which gives you the opportunity to change your decision in order to cut costs.

I'd regen that answer, and/or start a new conversation. Something went wrong.

It's not the length of the initial prompt, because the AI was answering you, and it looked 'like a good answer' too, before the topic seems to have somehow switched to chess.

I don't expect to see that error happen often, but I've heard of that happening. It's never happened to me.

Playing with Station Command, one thing I took out was the identification of officer roles from the initial prompt or having it tell me who they are right away. All I know is ChatGPT is my XO with name and rank and a background. Then, when I need an officer, I asked, "Tell me who our Xenobiologist is, name, rank, background, etc". I've learned that you don't need one master prompt to account for everything, but a good starting point and add things with other prompts. It makes the game last longer before it starts forgetting details.

I had been trying this with GPT-3.5 and it continued to break down after 3-4 turns. It proceeded to kick back "AI Language Model" errors. My suspicion is that the bulk of information broke the token memory.

#

That said, the first few turns were really engaging and felt like an excellent role-play/kingdom simulator.

I've been playing this with Chat GPT 3.5. It was going well for the first few turns, but Chat GPT eventually flagged some of the actions I was making as against their content policy. The actions being flagged were pretty vanilla too, killing rebels and such. Has anyone else had this problem?

Killing anyone or anything, especially in graphic detail (no idea what was happening in your story) does go into disallowed content:

"Generation of hateful, harassing, or violent content
Content that promotes or glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others

Activity that has high risk of physical harm, including:
Military and warfare"

https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies

Technically killing rebels can be seen as issues in those areas. It's definitely a gray area, and room for interpretation and all that, but we do need to be thoughtful about how we explore those things even in games, and that is probably why the content flag happened.

#

It still sucks at math

#

I just hope there is a plugin for that

it can write python code. Python code can do math well. it can read the output? If it can quote the output, it can 'do math', theoretically. I have no idea. I'll go join the waitlist now. I feel so clueless about anything more complex than 'here is the url, go log in and type something'

#

From what OpenAI says about their code interpreter:

"We would like our models to be able to use their programming skills to provide a much more natural interface to most fundamental capabilities of our computers. Having access to a very eager junior programmer working at the speed of your fingertips can make completely new workflows effortless and efficient, as well as open the benefits of programming to new audiences.

From our initial user studies, we’ve identified use cases where using code interpreter is especially useful:

Solving mathematical problems, both quantitative and qualitative
Doing data analysis and visualization
Converting files between formats"

it claims solving math problems... hrm.
