Default Re: MP Game - Zap\'s New game with House Rules

Just an update: so far I've had to turn away Nagot, Niblet, Nunchuck Exponent, Ninny I'm NOT, Natty Natt and Nogblot.

Sorry guys, but NO EXCEPTIONS to the house rules!!

Up to 17. But at the rate we're going, we could be playing in Aran

Heh.

If you don't want to wait for 17 people, than with one more player (to make it seven total) we could very well play Karan ("dry" Version), if you, as well as everybody else, would like to. IMHO 7-8 is an ideal players density for Karan in MP.

It's you call of course though, I am not trying to push you.

Depends how you define "reasonable". Potentially, every province on the map could have a castle on it, but that would probably be virtually impossible without purposely trying to do that. Reasonably I couldn't see it getting much higher than 50%.

The fact is that Norfleet is right about castles.
They're the lone way to defend a province.

If there's no castle many spells can burn your temple.
Armies can do that too, since PD isn't worthing it's cost above 10 or 15 ... and 10 or 15 means a very weak army composed of the worst of your troops.

Six people have claimed nations here, but only two have submitted passwords to the registrar. So at the moment, we have but two players.
