Bid Game - Build the position you want (was Milk II)
Game Settings:
Map: Glory MP
Research: Difficult
Rename: On
Mods: Banners, CBM1.5, Alternate (see below)
VP: 1/2 caps +1 held 3 turns.
Naps: Nonbinding
Delays: Liberal on request.
Era: Early
Turns: 48 first, 27 through 20, 51 thereafter.
Players: 14 Land, 2 water.
Special rules:
1. Order +/- 6%. Resources +/- 5%.
2. Each player will be granted 100 points, on top of the usual 400. Players will use these points to bid on their nation, starting locations, to improve these starting locations, and for pretender design.
As all of these changes will have to be done by hand, I will admin, but not play.
Starting locations will *not* be limited to single provinces. There will be multi-province starting locations to bid on.
3. Bidding will continue until all players are satisfied, or there are 24 hours with no further bids.
4. Improvements:
Players with multiple provinces can start with additional castles, temples, and labs.
Castles will cost 35 pts.
Temples will cost 10
labs will cost 5.
All castles will start with usual starting troop strength
Starting troops and commanders can also be bought for 10 points.
Left over points (up to 13) can be spent either 1 pt for 10 gold, or 1 pt per gem. PD can also be purchase (with no limit) 1pt for 1 pt.
Additional territories can be bid on; with a minimum cost of 10 pts and a minimum incremental bid of 5 pts.
5. There will be three special sites. These sites may be up to uncommon in rarity. These will also be bid on. Which sites will be a function of what players desire. Any sites awarded by bid will be *publicly* known.
6. After bidding on nation, location, and improvements, points remaining will be added/debited to ones pretender design.
7. Noobs may be allowed a handicap at moderator discretion. Please advise if you are new to dominions (fewer than 5 mp games). Handicaps will be 35 pts; the presence of the handicap will be announced prior to game start, but after bids. (and its presence or lack will not be awarded until after bidding is concluded).
8. There are 12 starting locations. More than 12 players may bid on them, in which case the 12 players bidding the most for their starting locations, will play.
8.b Thanks AoE for a great idea original milkshake!
8.c Sorry I suck on graphics editing. If you squint you should be able to make out the positions A-P. Two of the nations have around 6 territories, and 5 others have 2-5.
8d. If you bid more than 100 points for your position, you must leave points spent on your pretender. So for example, suppose you bid 183 points for mictlan, with various improvements, in position G. This would leave you 317 points for Pretender creation.
Pretenders will be sent to me for verification (hence why I'm not playing = )
9. Please keep bids in the following format:
Start Location: pts
or
Nation: pts.
or
Territory: pts
or
Improvements: pts
