I can make a map for them if you'd rather lurk. A simple one this time, no weird barbarian or monster gimmicks to bite me 100 turns in the future

Armageddon game?

Mist,
That would be handy, assuming the actual players of the game agree. I'm not going beyond dedlurking, after all, so I don't get a vote. @HidingKneel: shoot me an e-mail at RBMardoc at gmail and we can talk strategy (once Mist is approved). Although I suspect you've already got one in mind, I might be able to provide refinements.
EitB 25 - Perpentach
Occasional mapmaker
Mist as mapmaker sounds great to me.
So, to summarize what I think we have a consensus on: Game: EitB (maybe we should wait for the next version? Do we have an ETA?) Diplomacy: Limited (say, in-game only?) Advanced start. Last days. Players: HidingKneel, Selrahc, Bob, and Plako (with room for one more). Some other options to vote on, along with my votes: Restricted leaders: Yes. Bans: Auric (due to stasis). (Is Keelyn viable in EitB?) Game Speed: Quick Difficulty: no opinion Barbarians: Standard Orthus: On Acheron: Off or preplaced. Unique Features: In, not near player's starting locations. Lairs: On. Huts: On. Start Era: Ancient. Wildlands: no opinion. Living World: On. Tech trading/vassals: Off. Human takeover for Hyborem/Basium: Yes (we should line up someone unspoiled for Hyborem, if the summoner doesn't want to take him). On the map: I'm happy with whatever, so long as it's reasonably fair to the players/civs in game.
Options look good to me.
How many points should we start with? I'd like to have some idea before I pick my civ. Any restrictions on what we can spend them on? For "limited diplomacy", that means just limited to stuff like OB, right? No using in-game chat? I hate sending messages in game, would strongly prefer my diplomacy to be wordless. Having a diplomacy-banned public player game-discussion thread would be nice, if we could all trust each other to not attempt to make any agreements or otherwise conduct foreign relations in it. I would also like to know a little bit about what kind of map Mist has envisioned before I make my pick. How large will it be? Will there be water? Islands? What is the actual game size it will use? And so forth.
*hops aboard the HMS Hiding Kneel. Might as well dedlurk ya in a game that isn't over turn 5.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out. HidingKneel Wrote:Bans: Auric (due to stasis). (Is Keelyn viable in EitB?)If the game is last days, there are very few viable leaders anyway. I don't see the point of banning anybody.

As you yourself pointed out in chat to me, Auric can use his WS to seriously screw someone / everyone over when the AC starts making the barbarians do really mean barbarian things. Which is not fun.
Also not fun: Playing a bunch of turns where you can't build anything. This set-up is going to be pretty silly anyway with Last Days, but at least the turns should be fun to play.

How large will it be?30x30 with toroidal wrap, unless you want more relaxed or more cutthroat game. Bobchillingworth Wrote:Will there be water? Islands?Very little to no water, and no islands. If Launun get picked they'll get one small saltwater pond with one island to play in. Bobchillingworth Wrote:What is the actual game size it will use?Standard. Bobchillingworth Wrote:And so forth.Toroidal wrap. Abundant food / production / commerce, Scarce trees ( elves will get some more if present ). Everyone will start next to a mana crystal, but there will be no other mana crystals on the map. If you decide to play with lairs, I will not place any graveyards or goblin forts. I want to place some windmills around the map for aesthetic purposes, no other preplaced improvements will be present. No Acheron. |
