MP: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

[Legendary League]

Sorry Cerlin, you were just beaten by Vishniac. Some other time, eh?


As for the splitting of the map/img files and the fog of war, I'd like to hear back from more people, but thus far no one seems to have objections (and I personally favor it). Giving it another 24 hours.

I agree on no VP.
Less information -> More paranoia -> All senses alert -> Try to play better
(Though I might get stuck in the paranoia part )

I would like to c a bit higher turn interval. With QH enabled, its still pretty fast, but allows a little bit more space for a player to manage his/her personal time and strips some early extension hassles. Can we consider having 36H in the beginning, and 48H no later than from turn 20?

[Angry_Hominid]

Can I request that I change to Caelum please?

[mattyburn7]

Does that have anything to do with "Stumble To Victory". If so join the club. Caelum put a hurting on me in my first MP game and I thought. What a fun nation to play! Just be forewarned. THey are not without their weaknesses.

Cheers and Good Luck!

Haha yeah its exactly why I want to play them They look cool! One of their weaknesses in this game will be that im playing them Im sure...

[Legendary League]

@ Anaconda: Absolutely!

@ Angry_Hominid: Again, absolutely! The raiding is quite good, yes, but their troops are, pound for pound, hideously terrible (size 3, high encum, fragile). However, all flying is really annoying.

Also, it means I become the biggest blood nation on the block, and I can't argue with that (better blood than Abysia and Midgard, anyways).

Alright, since there seems to be no objections, I think we'll go with Calahan's proposal. Can we get the .image file (or is it the same as what the other Riverlands maps are)?

[Calahan]

Attached is the Image File you will need to play the game, and a Map File (random starts) that allows you to play test the map. Please please note that the .map file in the attachment has completely random starts (ie. you can literally start anywhere), and is only included for simple play testing. The .map file you are using for the actual game (which you don't need) is not this one, as the one for the game has fixed starts for 13+1.

Also please note that for those familiar with the map, I have removed the province connection between 44-28 to allow equal distance between starting locations. There should also be no nations starting on a Forest, which means your capital will not (or at least should not) get hit by the Ancient Presence event (for those who take the required scales for this to trigger).


@ LL - I will be uploading the map now to the llamaserver, and it should then be available at the bottom of the list for you to select/use. (Edit - Map is uploaded. it's at the bottom called "Riverlands - Fixed Starts for 13L + 1W")


Edit - @ All - If you find any problems with the attached map, such as missing connections or terrain errors, then please let me know (although you obviously can't report start location problems). I've tested the map this morning, and put it through considerable testing last year for the game it was originally created for. So all bugs should have been ironed out by now. But if I missed one then please let me know (although I won't really be around this weekend, so any bugs might have to wait until Monday for me to sort out. Or just live with them if they're minor)

Best of Luck with the game.


-------------------------

Finally, a future note for those finding this post from the llamaserver link, and who likely want to use this map for a MP game. All that is contained here is the Image File for the map, but that is all you need to play the game on the llamaserver. So all you need to do to use the map for a llamaserver game is to select the map, and then download the Image File. That's it. No .map file is needed.

If you do want the original .map file then please PM me, and I will send it to you. But I have intentionally not included the .map file that has the 13L+1W fixed start info in the attachment, as the players in this game want to keep the starting locations hidden. (as such I obviously can't attach the actual .map file that contains that info)

[Anaconda]

wait, wut?
