Heh, some starting positions have 7 neighbours and others just 4

And what resent file? I just got one file and some people are talking about 2.

We are starting again? So I guess I won't bother doing my turn.

I had such a good starting position. Bugger!

[Zeldor]

I hope I get yours then?


P.S. What are the victory conditions anyway?

[llamabeast]

Okay, we should be restarting this evening (UK time).

Also, we had an idea to increase interest in the Arena Death Match. The winner of the death match will receive 1000 gold. I'll include a hidden extra nation (which will be unreachable), which will exist just to pay the reward.

Hope everyone's keen on this idea, I think it will add a cool bit of extra spice.

The problem, at least with me, is not one of an in ability to count.

What occurred is I had 3 spots listed as starting spots that were invalid I think. The special start provinces for la atlantis and la marignon also appeared as start provinces that any race could receive. Hence i think the computer tried to assign 2 races to those provinces but la atlantis and la marignon were already there(: This in addition to the 1 province that was originally labeled a "no start' that i forgot to uncheck after fixing its neighbors and making it a designated start.

So in all I do think 3 of the 61 starting spots were screwed up. And 1 fix is very easy, and the other is not as it requires finding 2 new starting locations(:

As to equity. with some people have 7 neighbors and some having 4, that is unavoidable. You are always going to have good and not so good starting spots. Everyone had at least 4 neighbors except la atlantis, who only had 3, but la atlantis has a very good starting spot imho regardless.

With me having to add 2 new spots, i can make no promises about those.

My sincere apologies for the delay.

Hi Llama, will I get either the pretender I sent last night or any of the three I sent this morning? I am not sure they were accepted though now

Or the one thats a bit rubbish I got in the first start....

[Xietor]

I think you can update pretenders anytime before the game starts, but the game has actually started now. So you may need to send llamabeast a pm and work something out to change your pretender at this time. I do not think you can just send in a pretender now and expect it to update since as far as llamaserver knows the game has commenced.

Good News. Thanks to the mighty graphics of Ballbarian, I was able to see a yellow dot on the map where a starting capital should have been, but was inadvertently omitted from the map file. So there will only have to be 1 new spot found for a starting capital.

I like the idea of providing a reward llama - but I am opposed to executing it.

The game was formed - and pretenders designed - with certain conditions. Making this change gives an advantage to those who chose awake pretenders.

I would love to participate in such a game, at a later date. However, I think it ill advised in a game that is already set up as the epic confrontation of our time.

Leave it as advertised..

Considering the chances
a) to have a death match before most pretenders awaken (perhaps some before the imprisoned gods... but I doubt monoliths can win anyway)
b) to see someone risk his awake pretender, key of initial expansion, even for 1000gp, against 50+ potential other champions in an early death match
c) to see this succeed and the pretender still usable for anything with his dozens of afflictions

I tend to disagree with these objections.

Now it may be decided that the reward will be lower if DM happen before all pretenders are in play, or before turn x, or something like that.
