RAND REDUX - ASHDOD WINS (Calmon)

[WraithLord]

I'm good with Shepherds of Creation.
Just curious how ppl regard any of the following three maps:
1. Glory of the Gods. MP version.
2. The eight gates (connection gates).
3. The all favorite Orania.

My vote goes for 7 capital VPs. In my experience 5 tends to end game preternaturally (for my taste).

7 as well

[DonCorazon]

Fine with 7.

I'd just like to check with the experienced crowd (that would be you ) as I've nevered gotten around to using CBM before: I don't suppose any of the magic paths of summonable mages are changed in it? Everything else I can figure out in the game, and I've seen an item forging reference floating around somewhere I can dig up, but I'd rather not face nasty surprises when I summon certain creatures to expand my magical diversity.

Edit: I'm fine with 7 too.

Nope, I have made an effort to not change magic skills of any mages. I also have not made any items harder to forge, only easier, to avoid 'why can't I forge X' problems. Probably 90% of all changes are simply making things cheaper.

Also: 7 sounds good to me.

[PashaDawg]

Okay. Sounds like 7 is the magic number for victory!

If folks aren't strongly against the Shepards of Creation map, then I will look into tweaking it for staring positions. Just no one can whine about their starting position.

But Pasha, who would do such a thing? =)
