Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. Game Over. Supplicants Triumph!

Star Control was nice, for a space battle simulator. As I recall though, the early ones at least weren't massive 4x type games. I loved Starflight, and Omnitrend's Universe series.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. Game Over. Supplicants Triumph!

In general, I echo Numahr and Gandalf's assesments pretty much. Even though we had a team drop, we decided to forge ahead to keep from the game from stalling out. And I think most had an enjoyable...

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started NEED SUB FOR LA MICTLAN

Ok, Corvus. What are we doing here?

Has a sub been found? Has anyone been actively looking? Are we going to continue on or call the game?

Thanks.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. Game Over. Supplicants Triumph!

The TAM style can have its advantages, especially for the fresher, greener noobs, while more experienced players or players desiring a more free style may feel rather confined. It does mean less...

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. Game Over. Supplicants Triumph!

Nah. Didn't think any team was "unbeatable" in game 2 and though it would have been an uphill battle, Ano's team could have been beaten, just think those extra captain tweeks on the pretender blesses...

Re: what about the future?

Very interesting. Where I can find this fan made 3rd party work? I guess server side scripting of events and triggers huh?

Re: MA Test Game - Retinues

Hmm, looking at the mod, I suppose giving national commanders retinues might promote their use more (certainly be fun), though I'd venture just making the commanders stronger on their own, might work...

Re: MA Test Game - Retinues

Hmm, I like the fantasy role playing idea of heroes, commanders, or what have you and their retinues of loyal troops. Perhaps smallish in terms of numbers and with high morale. I am guessing it saves...

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. Game Over. Supplicants Triumph!

Your team put in a respectable showing, finishing in second place in terms of VPs with 6. Eriu was totally wiped out though.
The Usurpers came in 3rd with 5 VPs.
And the Children of Crom and...

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

I am calling the game at turn 33. This last turn will be allowed to process to allow any player who wishes to see the results of a battle to do so (currently 40 mins left). The game will then be...

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

Generally each game is single age. The death dominion might be toned down, or the player could conceivably take a high growth/high order/low dominion if they chose (the enclosed area is about 18-20...

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

Here are two preliminary map choices for game 2. Both assume LA R'lyeh for the Indy (will be modding aquatic to amphibious units).

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

Whoa, sorry chris, did see that request in time.

Game is moving to a 56 hour host effective this turn (forgot to mention it to gandalf before the host). Timer will be adjusted, even though 5 hours...

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