TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)

[llamabeast]

Right, game started! Let me know if you have any problems. Between the e-mail you get and my FAQ though, hopefully everything should be quite straightforward.

The first turn has 48 hours on the clock, in case of any problems. Subsequent turns will have 24 hours.

From my own experience, I would say one of the best ways to make it into an awesome game is to do lots of diplomacy and roleplaying. Send your neighbours messages, make plans and alliances. Post here with battle reports and stories of what your pretender's been up to. Between you, you're making an epic.

Have fun everyone!

A question - I see on the map something like Victory Points, but don't see them as conditions. What does that mean?

[Skirmisher]

How many turns would you say an average game is?

[Darkstone]

Victory points don't count for victory unless it's selected as a victory condition.

So in this game, the provinces with one of them will count as an 'extra temple' so to speak, they will spread your dominion if you control them.

I haven't ever finished an MP game, but if I had to guess, most games end before a 100 turns. (With larger games probably having more turns).

[JimMorrison]

I get the impression that the majority of games end between 50-70 turns. Depending on size of map, of course, some may go longer than that, rare that there is a clear winner before then, unless it's a skirmish/blitz game.

[llamabeast]

50-70 is about right.

If there are crowns on the map then yep, they don't do anything apart from generate a little dominion (I think a 50% chance of a candle each turn) for whoever controls them.

You guys should post more! What's happening in the world of TucoTuco?

One word - scouting!

What Wrana said. That and raising a horde of angry angry half-men to spread my glory and crush the.... ah.... I mean some research too.
