Newbish question

Because the only player left is the winner - game over.

I wasn't clear.

Human control (you) two nations. Start with 50 territories each or so.

Sice you won't be casting any spells... luck will be the sole cause of random events.

It would take a while to accumulate 50 territories, which makes it kind of a tedious test to run. You may feel differently.

You can set how many territories each nation controls at the start of the game when you create the game.

But only up to 9, I believe

The maximum is indeed 9. That's why each nation only had 9 provinces in my test games.

I have got most of the mechanics of the game down (I didn't say I had them aced, just understood!!)

However, there is one aspect that I just am not getting,

Either I am too dense, have a mental block, or am reading things wrong.

Its magic and things like Summoning...

I know what summoning is in the usual sense but I get the feeling that it is SO much more in this game.

I have read Baalz's Excellent Guide to Summoning but it seems it is directed to those that have a basic knowledge of the subject.

It talks about Masters and 4 slaves ect and the combinations that you need ect. I am sure that to someone that understands the terminology that it rocks....

But its Greek to me.

I have played nations with magic of all kinds to try and force myself to learn but I just keep getting more frustrated and playing MP seems a LONG way off if I am the only one trying to fight a ground war.

Is there ANY WHERE that explains the nuances of the magic game in all aspects that a dummy can understand?

Thanks as always...you guys are great when it comes to supporting new people!!
