The Story
You are a stranger in town, a strong, evil stranger and you want power, LOTS of power. The cityguard could be a way.. a LONG, SLOW way to power, and long and slow just isn't like you. The King isn't going to give you his power either, and you hate him for it already, ow yeah, he'll pay too. And religion.. is not the thing for you, except to be worshipped by your minions as they spread your gangs dominion over the city. Take the power you deserve. And the money. And the lives you need to take to get whatever else you want.
TO PLAY THIS GAME:
1. create at least 4 nations
2. use The King, The Church and The Nobility as 3 of those and set them to computer controlled, do not choose The City Guard as a nation.
3. Create a slot for your own nation, set it on human.
4. If you want other gangs competing for power in the city create a maximum of 4 other nations.
5. Use an awake pretender (and some combat qualities might be usefull) as your gangleader carving your name in the annals of the city"
--
All water-nations, MA/LA Ermor and MA Tien Chi are disabled. The nations which are used as the resident powers in the city are MA Pythium/Man/Ulm and Marignon and are thus not playable either.
The Map:
the map looks like this (it's 3000 wide though (4x the size in all directions)
The general idea behind the map:
You arrive in a city and start to creat a gang (nation) to take it over. The King in his castle obviously has troops too, as do the Church and the Nobility 2 powers already in the city, fighting for control within the city walls. On the gates the City Guard is posting and preventing scum like gangs like yours to enter the city. Obviously the city guard is at peace with everyone... as long as gangs don't try to cross the gates.
--> each province only has 1000 population, but with double the income pere pop, but each race start with a 100 gc production centre. Still this is a relatively low income map take this into account
--> The map will be is campaign/RP sort of map with a lot of pre-made quarters where specific people live (and fight to prevent you taking it over).
--> You and (if you want) some opposing gangs start outside the walls, to cross the gate means fighting the guards. To cross the gates also means entering the domain of the Church and the Nobility.
--> The king resides in the castle and is happy enough to stay there if undisturbed, but of course.. to be the boss of all means the king cannot be allowed to live. And who doesn't want to live in his nice castle
--> There is a victory point in the Kings castle so playing for VP or cumulative VP is an option too. Personally I think playing for 10-15 cumulative VP would make the end game a nice "King of the Hill" play
--> the City guard isn't a real player expect no expansion from them.. they just guard the gates.
-->I disabled some nations becuase they might be overpowered in a low income map like this.
FOR THIS MP GAME:
Llamabeast is willing to host this game for me so I'm looking for 4 players who want to play on this map against me and the computer players.
1. If you sign up please pick any of the race that are not scripted out (see above) PLEASE do not pick a race that might also be extremely overpowered on this map (but which I happened to overlook because of lack of game knowledge.
2. I'll try to get the game to run on a cumulative VP for 15 points.. so once you get the kings castle the others have some turns to mass an army to kick you out.
3. If you kill all others the game will (obviously) end too, we will probably agree on ending the game too when one of the players gets such an obvious advantage that playing longer won't give added fun.
Please let me know if there are additional things we should agree on (I hope we can all agree on not using known exploits of the game. If there are spells we should not use then I hope there is a mod out there (please suggest it) or we can just agree not to use them))
Sign up now.. once we have 4 players I'll ask llama to help me set things up.
