MA game: Gladiators of Loemendor, not recruiting
 

Hi!

this game was going to be a simple LA game, except that the arena death match winner would have been greatly rewarded by the other players with n*5 gold and n/4 gems, where n is the turn number. Since no one wanted to play (...), I declare this thread closed.

Interesting concept but perhaps a bit unbalanced on rewards. So on turn 20 the winner would get 20x8 gems and money to boot. I like your idea but the reward may be slightly unbalanced.

Crazy afterthought
What if the victory conditions were 3 arena wins in a row (only)

Could.even make it a 9 prov map (cap only for each player) with zero conventional fighting. Sounds like an old star trek plot... Anyway it would sure cut down on micro.... I would play since the time for turns would be minimal yet fun.

cool idea but giant nations would own too much

Re: MA game: Gladiators of Loemendor, recruiting
 

thanks for the input. im convinced, made it down to n/2.

Re: MA game: Gladiators of Loemendor, recruiting
 

very cool idea, i like it a lot. i will make some kind of that next time. with a gamemaster-nation that does nothing but wishes for arena every 5 turns or so.

True but perhaps that could be mitigated a number of ways..
Outright ban of some races
Or
Matches don't start till turn 15 or so (magic begins to nullify pure brawn ) with matches occurring every 3rd turn or so
Or
Perhaps early game if many giant races are in play they would take turns winning making 3 in a row difficult
Or
Some races get a pretender build penalty. Himmon gets fewer points.

Would play crazy different without expansion. Scales, bless, pretender design would have to be weighed towards creation of an early/mid/late game thug/sc. Research could be easy to get magic and items into play earlier. Your triple blessed Jotun may own 8 of 9 players but can't seem to kill that quickened thug with the paralyzing touch (or whatever).

No worries about naps though trading could be interesting.. That Ermor tart has 2 wins in a row... Who best to give the flambeau to for taking him down?

Thats a great idea for a game...

Cap Only
Ban on troop recruits
Free Gift of Reason
Commanders and GoR'd summons only
Easy Research
High Gems

Small map with combat carried out between thugs and mages - Thugby!

i'd certainly join that kind of game.

however its way over my nonexistent modding capabilities. I encourage you to host a game like this, souns very exciting to me.

Re: MA game: Gladiators of Loemendor, recruiting
 

modified rewards.

Re: MA game: Gladiators of Loemendor, recruiting
 

i'm open to banning some nations if there is demand for it for balance.

Dont forget, the exxpected number of arena death matches during the course of the game is not more then a couple, and there might not be a single one at all. So basicaly its just an ordinary game.

Re: LA game: Great Forum, recruiting

Re: LA game: Great Forum, recruiting
