Zen is not on the list, but has already announced he is on the game. You just forgot him from the list.

Didn't forget, but never got the PM, of which I have mentioned several times here.

Anyway, just cant't do it with the sphinxes. (sp?)

They are just too immobile to move, even when given additional strat move. So, at least other of the sphinx owners has to change pretender, and if other of them wants to keep his he has to pay with having to fight EVERY single battle in order to win...

What about a mod? I don't know how to take that "fist" attack go away, so he gets -1 def and weak attack. I quess that could be worked around by adding new weapon, "Useless Thing", with -100 damage, -100 attack, +0 defence and length 0. That would still give the sphinx possibility of attacking, which would fatique it, and enemy chance to repel.

I do not get the problem entirely (first attack?), but isnt it somehwat odd to allow non-teleporting immobiles at all? I thought this is a competition about the best all-purpose SC-hunter and I have difficulties to imagine a sphinx hunting around highly mobile SCs...?!

What else could you do, even for 1 sphinx?

Teleport, but that would screw the order of battles...

BTW: What happens if two fountains battle each other? Is it simply the case that the defender wins by the battle turn limit?

I also noticed that you did not ask where the combatants should be placed on tactical setup...?
