Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

seems the server is down. i'm not getting a conformation when i send in my turn.

same thing on the other game i'm involved in.

anybody else have this problem?

EDIT: other threads using llamaserver confirm, it is down.

I just noticed the crowns on some provinces. Reading a little I found that those are Victory Points. Does that means that we are playing an VP game? How many VPs are needed to win?

Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

Yeah, server was down. I have to turn it off to start new games. When I did the final restart last night I was knackered, and forgot to restart it. D'oh!

Anyway, fixed.

The crowns are VPs but we're not playing a VP point game, so they don't bring you victory. They do have some value though: each one produces one candle a turn for its owner.

I don't know who started that rumor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Isn't a VP the equivalent of a dom-strength 5 temple? That's not always a candle a turn.

Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

I thought it was the equivalent of a dom-10 temple.

Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

If you click on a temple of yours, you'll see something like:

God 0 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif
Prophet 10
Home Province 10
Temples 30
Victory Points 5

Depends on how many Temples and Victory Points you have of course. I'm sure a while back I heard VP's were a dom-strength 5 temple, but I lost the thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Not a thread(well probably is)--in 'da rules' pg 93. Am I the only maroon who actually purchased this game?(no wait actually 'hinted' it with website address for x-mas gift from the wife http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) Anyway it spreads as if you had Max Dom of 5. But according to rules ONLY if 'victory points' special victory condition is selected at game set-up. As Im new to this game, havent really paid attention when Ive played against the computer.

Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

The manual needs some updating. It's wrong on this for sure. If you see a crown on the map, it's spreading dominion. The only question is how much.

someone needs to poke Ermor, they're taking over 24 hours to do turn 1.
