Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)

[klagrok]

Not a thread(well probably is)--in 'da rules' pg 93. Am I the only maroon who actually purchased this game?(no wait actually 'hinted' it with website address for x-mas gift from the wife ) Anyway it spreads as if you had Max Dom of 5. But according to rules ONLY if 'victory points' special victory condition is selected at game set-up. As Im new to this game, havent really paid attention when Ive played against the computer.

The manual needs some updating. It's wrong on this for sure. If you see a crown on the map, it's spreading dominion. The only question is how much.

someone needs to poke Ermor, they're taking over 24 hours to do turn 1.

[klagrok]

vfb seems you are right on that one---2006 for copywrite!! It does say doesnt matter how many VPs same spread but guess the peeps who've played this for years would have a better idea of how much. Either way, appears they are free temples for dominion so assuming we'll be fighting over them. Sure hope my blood sacrifices work!!!!

Two things for sure in life, death in taxes. I know you are taxing your people and Death will arrive soon!

More seriously, I am having techincal problems. I downloaded Wirthy Heroes and it turned out to be Burning heros, not 1.8. Then I got a virus. Then my wife had her birthday, which suggested that I focus on something else than the computer. I have internet access at work, but not at home, which complicates things.

If I can not get this sorted out tonight, switching to AI makes sense, but let me see if I can fix it first.

Also, no one should accept any excuse on my part for losing based on missing the first turns! Own goals still count...

life before game.

let us know.

Being as it sounds like Saxon is on the case, I'd recommend postponing hosting if he looks like staling again. It'd be a shame to go out of a game right at the beginning because of technical issues.

I agree, that's a newbie game after all. We all need ot learn. There is no interest if someone can't even have a try.

By the way, here is the Worthy Heroes mod. In case you didn't find it.

[Omnirizon]

quickhost for the next turn delayed an extra 12 hours then.

If anyone needs more than that, please post in the thread.

I´m also in favor of postponing this turn if it helps Saxon out, now that we know he wants to stay in.

Besides, reuniting the ermorian empire is one of Neros primary goals, I would hate trying to roleplay that against the computer.
