Faerun Cancelled
 

dead in the water

can someone create a noob friendly game with good expand options? cheers

Re: Recruiting! EA Faerun w/specials noob and experienced
 

I would like to play this.

Couple of suggestions:

-Non-binding diplomacy. Because there are a lot of gray areas concerning what exactly 'violates' an agreement. Different folks have differing opinions of what is, and is not a hostile act.

-Up the number of players. The map is plenty large enough at 466 provinces to be roomy, even for as many as 20 players.

I'd like to play EA Caelum, but I might change my mind before we start.

EA Agartha thx.

As per Vanguard, map size needs to be 15 x the number of players...approximately. Much more than that and the game becomes a nightmare, not fun.

A wrap around I believe is best, as you can't hide in the corner and there is no middle map where you tend to get surrounded and swamped by opponents.
Basically a much fairer start for everyone.

I am not a noob play, but neither am I a good player.

Aslo, gems and item swaps should be binding etc...but diplomacy such as NAPs etc, need to be non binding.

The map IS roomy, but also has quite a few provinces that are held by powerful indies, so i'm guessing in a way expansion will be limited in first turns in some places.

what about indi strength.. default 5 good? or bump to 7?

Re: Recruiting! EA Faerun w/specials noob and experienced 3/18
 

Someone stated in another thread that 5 is better than 7 because 7 rewards good scales more, and currently good scales is already well, good.

I would like to try Hinnom since I have some experience with them.

This would only be my 2nd MP game and am just getting back into Dom 3 again, so I would definitely qualify as a noob I would think :).

I think I'd like to join on Mictlan.

I'd also second the suggestion of opening this up for more players - Faerun is a huge map and 20+ provinces/player gets really messy. VPs might also be a good idea given those considerations.

I've played a handful of games, but none with more than 4 players (barring another game I'm in currently), so looking forward to the larger format.

The Faerun map is a disaster - turns that take weeks - and then the games crap out for size
