Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

Was hoping for aggressive as well, though if the case, starting armies might need to be tweeked to prevent them overwhelming the players (like removing the mammoths). Don't want the AI to be easily rushable, but also don't want players to get rushed either. The AI seems to follow the path of least resistance apparently, at least that was my early belief.

Ano maybe you should sign up for Gandalf's AI challenge game if it is made.;) Could be fun, 3-4 human players, surrounded by 6-8 AI nations. Hopelessly and desperately outnumbered, on a small map, surrounded by the AI on all sides, the players make their last stand and are given 3 or 4 starting provinces, a powerful commander, a handful of Eternal Knights, and a kiss for good luck! :)

Several of those games could be run simultaneously, with the group of players lasting the longest before being massacred declared the winner. Might be good practice for game 3.

I would be interested but couldn't play for a long time.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

If this is still applicable I'm up for it. Never played MP before though if that matters.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

Hmm... I think I'm willing to posit that under the circumstances described, (CBM, 3-4 provinces, a hero, and at least 2-3 buffer territories between AI and player,) AND gandalf not knowing what nations were to be played, that good players could beat any strength AI.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

A short zone between players might seem that way. But part of the boosting usually involves giving extra commanders and armies to the AI. So it would probably be possible to create an AI that would be a problem. Especially if set to aggressive and given a direct goal to work in that direction. Extremely easy and extremely hard are equally simple to do. Its making it possible to beat but a challenge that is hard to get right.

Yes it is so. The team is Children of Crom and we could use another alternate to sub for Marignon. Welcome Finalgenesis. If interested, stop by the team forums (link below), register, and I'll get you squared away, also check out the first post of this thread for info on the game:

Done, pending approval. I read up the setting and d/led the mod / map. I'll see you on silverforum. Meanwhile I should sign the player pledge.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

Actually, I do not think it would take a long time. ;)
And count me in as well - though, of course, in this case I will take an awake Pretender! ;)

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. In Progress.
 

Ashdod is down to 1 province!
Pan is down to 2.
Indies are down to 3.

Set has 71 territories! This is head and shoulders above all other parties.

It has 40% more forts than its closest competitor.

Your account is approved. Strange, I seemed to have gotten 3 or 4 different activation e-mails for you. If you can set up your PM options here, it might be helpful as well, as I often prefer to use Shrapnel for PMs. Welcome.
