The walking dead - LA scenarii - Closed

[Bullock]

After admining several classical game, i will try something more unusual.

The map played will be Land of legends (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=691257).

On this map 2 teams (or 3? or solo players? )will fight to take the control of the Fort located in the middle of the central island.

That's where it get spicy, the central fort on the island will be the LA Emor's Capital. Ermor doesn't have access to diplomacy,unlike all other team/players. In the case ermor's troops get strong enough to get above the central island's shores, they will always leans towards the most populated nations (wealthiest team/players).

From there everything is allowed, teams can fight against each other to get stronger and then take the island. Or you can team up against Ermor which will lead in the end of some betraying since only 1 team/player can win by holding the Ermor cap.


Considering it's a team game, i'm expecting people to fight until the very end. You need also to like diplo since the communication inside the team will be very important.

I'll draw borders for each teams as soon as we have the number of players, players will be free to set their cap where they want inside those borders.

Since i like very much Ermor, and the role require some 'fair neutrality' i will gladly playing them :)

EDIT: *Ermor can't cast Utterdark, unless he owns the cap of an other player.
*Ermor can't use Private message.
*Ermor can't cross the sea until trn 30.

So, if you like my idea, wanna join and match the bold requirement above, then you are welcome in !

Any suggestion to enhance the idea is welcome.

TEAM A:

Ossa - Marignon

militarist - Abysia

Team B:

Folket -
Kadelake -
Evilhomer - Ctis

[Ossa]

Interesting idea for a scenario;)

I'd join with LA Marignon

[YellowCactus]

Awesome Idea!

I'll play as LA Mictlan if I get a decent partner. A.K.A Someone that talks as much as me...

[Folket]

I'm joining the game. My wingmates will be Kadelake and Evilhomer.

[Bullock]

a full team's joining, awesome !
I don't know most of them but i'm pretty sure they will be strong.

If it was open to noob before, i think it s not anymore.

So we have room for 1 or 4 players. (2 or 3 teams)

I hope we can start this by the end of the week.

[Bullock]

I also had few rules for Ermor to be sure i won't be to much a pain in the *** lol.

Again, this scenarii is a draft so any suggestion is welcome. (specific rules for Ermor or teams or whatever)

[Evilhomer]

I would like to try c'tis.

[militarist]

I can join as LA Aby, can play with Yellow cactus

[YellowCactus]

Right on Dude! We'll slay some zombies!

[militarist]

Will starts be fixed or random?

[Bullock]

Well, i wait a couple more days to see if we can make a 3rd team otherwise it sounds good as it is.


Will starts be fixed or random?

Fixed.

[Folket]

How will the team be arranged? Mixed or start together?

[Bullock]

You will choose you starting location.
Everything is in the main post.

[YellowCactus]

I'm thinking Ermor will be stomped fast. Two veteran teams with a couple weeks to chat before the game starts will spell DOOM for the undead island...

[Bullock]

I'm thinking Ermor will be stomped fast. Two veteran teams with a couple weeks to chat before the game starts will spell DOOM for the undead island...

Well yes and no. Yes because i will be small (the island is small) and lonely. But in the other hand the other team will have to "defend me" before you get my Cap too fast, or attack your lands in the same time.

In the same way,if a team is losing grasp on the other one, i should be able to slightly reduce the dominance of the biggest team.

So globally i think it might be a very balanced game. At least it is on the paper :)

[YellowCactus]

We'll see! It will be fun. Everyone will be bringing along a lunch box so the troops can snack during the sieges....

[Bullock]

The game is open on Llamaserver. I'll change the map when starting point are defined.

http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=TheWalkingDead

[Bullock]

Well, if we go as we are, i ve made a map with the starting borders.
So you can select any territories for you cap in the aera of your team.

If you think the split ain't fair, let me know.

Also i have reconsidered the number of access points to the central island and reduced them to 2! Both access are from the neutral starting zone. (Red arrow on the map)

Any comments appreciated.

[YellowCactus]

So, water provinces...

How do they work? Can we enter them? Do they not connect to the island?

[Bullock]

Water provinces work as usual. There is just less land access. i will just cut the harbor links.

I think it will be too hard for Ermor with so many access to the island otherwise. Also it seems interesting to me to have the 2 access in a contested area.

[Folket]

Will starting positions be secret?

[Bullock]

No they won't.
Post them here when u ve choose.

[militarist]

Sorry, guys, have to withdraw from the game.

[Bullock]

sad :(

In that case i propose we try to find a last player and do a 2V2V2, would be more fun i think and it will allow to open a 3rd connection to the central island.

[Evilhomer]

If possible me, folket and Kadelake would like to be on the same team.

[militarist]

Bullock persuaded me not to leave .so I'm still in.

[Folket]

I will play Patala.

[Bullock]

i'd like to have the opinion of you people concerning the size of the teams.

I was worried with team of 3, one player was going to be stuck in the middle.
I know now it's not a problem for at least a team, but still do you prefer yo have team of 2 or 3? Even for team communications it s easier with team of 2.

But that's up to you.

[YellowCactus]

2 teams is probably more balanced then 3. But I'm Game.

[Bullock]

all right then we go as planned first then.

I'm waiting cap location then.

[Bullock]

I need cap position for those players.

Ossa
militarist
Folket
Kadelake
Evilhomer

[militarist]

I don't understand where is the zone of our team, and from which provinces we can choose.

[Ossa]

If I can choose freely I'd take 42;)

[YellowCactus]

Shhhh.....don't talk so loud, the enemy will hear you....

[Folket]

I managed to get hold of Kadelake today. It seems that he was withdrawn from the game.

I'm sorry. What should be done now?

[YellowCactus]

Just get a new team-mate!

[Bullock]

Otherwise we can go random start FFA with diplo. (just putting ermor in the middle)

This way we can start the game :)

[militarist]

In this case I will be out.

[Bullock]

Well it seems too hard to put this up.

I'm closing the tentative and will open a new classic game for those interested.

[Folket]

I'm sorry.
