Some good suggestions here, thanks. Got to check out that 'Crawl.

Re: OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

Actually, mr. Feist didn't write the game; the Krondor name was licensed to Dynamix, whose creative team is responsible for the writing. The following is straight from the "Author's afterword"...

Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

Of course more options, such as map commands, are always better than less, but major changes are also less likely to happen in a relatively minor update like a patch.

I suggested the simplest...

Re: Arduria map + a new one in the works

Dunno how it's done in LotR2, but as a fanatic Medieval: Total War player I'd advocate a method similar to MTW's "reinforcements", but modified to the Dominions system.

For example, there could be...

Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

Yeah, I thought of that too - ordinary scouts would have a harder time. Patrolling indies would also make high-stealth units, like Spies, more valuable, and not all nations have access to them.

Re: Arduria map + a new one in the works

Never mind - I figured out a way already. I drew the borders on a separate layer, and it's easy to fix the corruption.

It looks to be around 300-400 provinces. I'll have to decide the size of...

Well, the new project just ceased to be fun - I had drawn about 3/4ths of the borders when PhotoShop complained about "corrupted pixels" due to a "disk or SCSI malfunction" when loading the image....

Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

In the meantime, I'd prolly be content with indies set to be always on patrol mode... and if/when they'd lose to a superior force, the survivors would retreat to the castle and defend it normally.

Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

Unfortunately, C'Tis (and others) can still get a hefty chunk of essentially free gold income by besieging the fortified indie provinces with, for example, a single scout. The besieger gets province...

Re: SCs and Personal Buffs - A New Idea

Battlefield debuffs and "dispel magic" -type spells could be difficult to implement due to the spellcasting AI. However, those would be very welcome additions IMHO, if they could be made to work.

Re: Arduria map + a new one in the works

Arduria has 34 underwater provinces out of 188. The ratio will probably remain about the same. There will be landlocked seas and large lakes, a couple of oceans etc... I'll include "support" (start...

Re: Arduria map + a new one in the works

Got the semester wrapped up, and I'm thinking of putting a new map into the works. It will probably be larger (around 250 provinces or even more) and a _bit_ less watery. I'm also toying with PvK's...

Re: adding debuffs?

A couple of spells that could destroy or suppress magic items would be a welcome addition. Perhaps to fire, earth, nature and astral paths, or a combination of these.
