MP: ThreeFort - Experimental game - Squirrelloid/Bandar Log wins!

[Valerius]

Now that Cripple Fight 3 has ended I'll have time to work on (and play in!) this game.

In order to try to drum up more interested I thought I'd simplify the game's theme to "emphasize mid-game, eliminate late game" and eliminate the "no indies, only national troops/mages" aspect.


Proposed rules:

* Magic will be the same as last time. Spells limited to level 6, with the exception of the spells that were assigned to level 3 and banned spells. No globals. Lower power unique items will fill Constr. level 2, 4 and 6 for random events.

* All magic sites are level 0 - if you own province you'll know all the sites there.

* Start the game with 4 provinces and then have a normal expansion phase.

* Blood magic will get some nerfs (maybe less than last time).


Changes:

* Indies will be allowed (including magic sites that allow troop/mage recruitment) and mercs can be recruited. I think this will help with the problem of getting scouts as well as alleviate the impact of spells that target commanders.

* Diplomacy allowed.

* You can build forts as normal - this will make game setup easier and also allow you to protect your most valuable provinces.

* Cap gem income normal. With diplomacy allowed you can trade gems with other nations.


Any of you interested in, and have time for, a sequel?
