Following up on the Council of Wyrms idea ...

KissBlade · #1 February 20th, 2006, 02:52 PM

Anyone interested in getting in on a game for Council of Dragons or something similar? Basically a heavily diplomatic slow paced sort of rp game to loosen up after a long days of hard work, etc? =)

Let me know, I'm thinking maybe a 15 player game - 17 player game with the water nations allowed wyrms to sub as their dragons or whatever they may choose.

I'll jump in as tien chi, however it turns out, I think saephi would be a pretty good base for this game. (I wish CoW was on such a structurally sound map as saephi)

and why dragons, why not just go with anything size 3 and up? That will eliminate the VQ sc's which are so popular as of recent.

Umm... When did VQ SC's "recently" become popular? Since they were nerfed in one of Illwinter's patches, I haven't seen one in ages.

Imposing dragons makes it more of a thematic game, potentially heavier on roleplaying, vice a game with only a size limit, albeit it does also give something of a premium to those nations which can heavily benefit from an N9, W9, or F9 bless.

Not sure how my current load (of games & work) is going, but I might be interested depending on when it starts.

hmm, after playing with it, looks like a dragon can make a pretty decent thug for indy clearing. Maybe someone should make a mod to give a wider variety of dragons prior to launching this game.

I am inspired to make a mod that adds more dragons to the game.

I agree that this game cries out for a Dragon pretender mod. The Nova Deus mod here introduces a black and white dragon for example. Seems like it would be fun to have a dragon specializing in each magic path (even blood?). Anyhow, I'd be willing to help out. The great thing about this mod would be that the graphics are (mostly) easy, unless we feel a great need to get creative we can just color the existing dragons. Play-testing will be important though...

Uh, this is all a long way to say that I'm interested in the game too. I think I might need to wait until Yarnspinners 2 wraps up. We're at turn 52 of 60, so that shouldn't be too long. Can't deal with two role-playing games at the same time.

I'd like to jump in as Jotun

Nooooooooooo!! Someone took TC before me >_<. And this game was pseudo my idea too! Alright, so the reason for dragons was obviously as Cainehill said. Thematic and nifty for roleplaying purposes. However, I am aware it gives some races a nice bless advantage so I was open to setting ideas and also how we can work around that. (Perhaps, no paths' greater than 8?)

OG_Gleep · #8 February 20th, 2006, 11:31 PM

Well if the wyrm is a viable choice, races that don't depend on bless effects have an option. Taking bless out cripples a lot of nations.

KissBlade · #9 February 20th, 2006, 11:39 PM

Yeah a second council of Wyrms might no be a terrible idea come to think of it. Dragons do give bless an advantage. Or perhaps allow size 6 fliers and call it council of the Bygones.

I'll do the art if you wanna help me with the mod. White and Black dragons sound good, I was thinking a gold dragon for earth and a wind dragon or the such for sky. Draco Sanguinius could be a pretty diobolical blood dragon.

I'll download nova deus and see what it looks like.

also the water dragon should be available to underwater types, or maybe a second sea dragon be created specifically for atlantis and rlyeh - one that becomes a king/traitor king or something. or a rley specific void dragon, thats human form is a stargazer
