Fracture running

[Tyrant]

Two slots left, Jomon and mighty Atlantis, Fal will be taking one of them.

Looks like lots of VPs will be the victory conditions. I'll get the map together and iron out the details with Llama this weekend and we can get going early next week.

I'll take Jomon if Fal doesn't want it.

I'm working on the map today, hopefully we can be ready to upload pretenders tomorrow or Tuesday.

We will be using worthy heroes 1.8, so make sure you have that installed.

Is it possible to use RANDOM so that every player has at least ,let's say, 4 neighbour land provinces and that there are 4/5 provinces between capitols? I think that makes the game more interesting and avoids situation where turn 0 luck is the most important thing.

What do you think?

This game will be called "Fracture"

@Karlem - i am not familiar with that util, but i did edit the map to no start provinces with less than 5 neighbors. It's possible that i missed some 'cause there's no graphical display for no-start, but i tried three times with all 17 nations and nothing came up. It's also a big map, so even if you are close to someone else's capitol there should be room on another side.

The victory conditions will be 20 one VP, 10 two VP and 5 three VP for a total of 55 with 25 the victory threshold. If anyone has a problem with this speak up now or never.

Three things you need to know about VPs-

1) They spread dominion for their owner.

2) The big map and lots of VP provinces will make it more difficult for a player to get a cheap win by pouncing on a bunch they can't hold with TP etc, but not impossible. In fact it's pretty likely that someone will go for it once they are in spitting distance. So, Beware the Pounce - fortify your VPs!

3) The distribution of the VP provinces is good and gosh darn random, so it's possible that you will end up in a situation where you win all your wars and generally do well but have a hard time winning because all the VPs are far away. That's just the way it is. To me the randomness is part of the charm, but sometimes it works out badly for some players.

The forum outage this weekend has slowed things down a bit, but we are ready to go once Llama sets it up.

Here's a the link to Llama's FAQ on how to join a game, but wait till he's ready.

The game seems to be ready to accept pretenders.
