Age of Men: Themed Game

[Ironhawk]

After talking it over in IRC, we came to some conclusions about how the house rules will work out. To avoid any confusion over what is acceptable in terms of an SC chasis we are removing the size restriction on that rule:

2) Only recruitable commanders can be used as SCs

And then outlawing the use of Jotunhiem. The remaining nations have a handful of size 3 and size 4 units but they've been looked over and dont seem overpowered. To put any magic item, other than a magic booster, on a summoned commander would then be considered a violation of the rules.

Additionally, any nation that has Unholy magic will be Banned since it can too easily circumvent the troop requirements of house rule #1. This means: All flavors of Ermor, Ctis DT, Pangea CW, and Ulm BF.

Lastly, a handful of summoned commanders are too powerful even without items and will be removed. Most notably Vampire Lords and the ID with the Hellsword. Others may be included at a later date.

What about giving some equipment chances to some summons?

An example is the Firbolg, that has 15 precision, that would be wasted without a bow. In that case I'd have nothing contrary giving to a firebolg a magic bow.

Who's in charge to remove the magic item slots from any big guys? Even because in limit cases someone could loot from enemy a cursed item, so he can't remove that Scythe of Slaying from his guy.

Underline the fact that some "magic booster" are damn good weapon, apart from SunSlayer that is unique, the Blood Thorn is non unique, and have drain life.

Good point about bows, it seems like a good idea to alow ranged weopons as well as boosters on any commander. I think we decided to mod out the blood thorn.

[Ironhawk]

True, true. If you want to put bows or other ranged weapons on a summoned commander that seems ok.

Blood thorn is going to get yanked, yeah. A one handed lifedrain weapon is too powerful anyway.

As for summoned commanders picking up items? We probably should mod out all thier item slots, but I am just too lazy to do that I think we should just say if you pick one up you have to hand it off to a recruited commander or a lab as soon as possible.

Speaking of modding tho does anyone know how I can mod nations to add in a basic H3 unit (for those nations that have only mage+priest)?

[Cohen]

I was mentioning the fact you can get a cursed item with your summon, so you can't remove it.

Just opened a thread for the game. Sign up for your nation of choice!
