There are six "cities" worth 1 (in one case, 2) victory point each. They have fortresses in them, and (with the exception of the one worth 2) a large population, so you'll be expected to try and hold them for income before sieging the city itself.

Isn't it the case in Dom3 that sieging causes a rapid reduction in supplies and therefor starvation for the beseiged units? I think this could make it pretty easy to starve out tough indies in fortifications (and I believe I have seen this effect in SP). |

Re: Semi-random-map test game (signup)
Terrel, you may be right, but then again long lasting sieges will grant the other players chance to take over the "operation" from you. I think this is a lot better then the usual victory point mechanism where you can simply occupy a province.

Re: Semi-random-map test game (signup)
Let me run a brief test on that. If it's an issue, I'll hand out cauldrons of broth to the castle defenders.

Re: Semi-random-map test game (signup)
I'd like to give the Oni a whirl, please. What's it called in EA again? Yomi?

I haven't played MP yet. If a newbie is OK, I'll try Marverni. Otherwise, I'll wait for the next one.

Re: Semi-random-map test game (signup)
I'd love to come in and give Agartha a whirl! I've done a few (read: 3) MP games before, but all have been email. I'm sure I can figure out this quickhost thing if I try hard, though  |
