MP: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Setting up

[13lackGu4rd]

CBM doesn't change Dwarven Hammers at all it does remove gem gens, which are pretty newbie unfriendly. also, being a newbie game, it should teach us all how to get into real multiplayer games, which are all played in CBM. still, I don't mind if we remain in Vanilla, just saying the better choice would be to use CBM and get used to it ASAP, cause all other games out there(in these forums that is) are played with CBM in mind.

I'm good w. or w.out CBM. Xanatos and I played a friendly game the other night, and CBM 1.7 seemed sort of icky. The last MP game I had was CBM 1.6, which I enjoyed.

Anyhow, my $0.02.

it should be noted that CBM 1.7 DOES make hammers unique artifacts. but 1.6 seems to be better.

Given how easy it proved to be setting up a balanced map for multiplayer (so long as you dont move those squirrely white pixels), even though I will not be playing in this game I'd be happy to set up a balanced map for your game. Pick your map, tell me how many players and I'll make it happen.

I find that balanced start positions really add a lot to enjoyment of the game. Of course, who starts where will be random - this won't be a 'scenario' with pre-determined starts.

It made dwarven hammers unique? christ, that CBM guy is really going overboard on the artistic licence, isn't he? :S

Isn't there already a unique item that is a super version of the dwarven hammer, that provides a 50% bonus or some such?

I agree, many of CBM's changes were unneeded.

The creation of Gem-generators was a flaw that might have needed to be fixed, or at least made harder to do by making them more expensive(which is what I would have done) but we are at the point now where hes tweaked things that threw balance off on other things, and now hes tweaking those things etc, there are many who believe vanilla was more balanced.
