Re: Gauntlet scenario..?
SE4 is quite a wargame engine in itself, if you don't mind your elves being called "ships" and your summoned monsters being called "fighters"

Not sure how to mod in things like Death or potions, because I can't really remember how they worked in the original gauntlet, and there would no doubt be other problems, for example knowing where the repair bases are in advance and damage to non-armour components.

If you only have a military alliance, not a partnership, you WON'T see the repair bases in advance.

Repair bases would have to be the human player's own, not an allied empire's, so you *would* see them. Unless you've figured out a way to allow an ally to repair your own ships.
Maybe the repair bases could be enemy bases, and the players could carry some sort of boarding devices..? |

Re: Gauntlet scenario..?
Or the ally AI could be set to give in to all your demands, so you can just ask for the repair base when you find it.

Re: Gauntlet scenario..?
Have you ever finished a game of Gauntlet? What happens in the end when you win?
Many years ago, my friends and I spent a lot of hours at the arcade, playing Gauntlet. We would get a few $10 rolls of quarters and spend it all. We would put in lots of quarters at the beginning and keep feeding the machine so that we have tons of extra hit points all the time and we just brute-forced our way through. We weren't careful about not getting hurt. But we never finished the game! After a while we got bored because the levels were too similar.

Re: Gauntlet scenario..?
I don't think you CAN win Gauntlet; its just one of those games with endless randomly generated levels.
