Vanheim Please.

Cancel that I just noticed the insane Indy settings.

WraithLord · #22 September 29th, 2010, 09:58 AM

hardest indies. so what?- Check with ppl who played with these settings in my previous games. Most had fun, including perhaps those who didn't adapt their strat. to the settings.
Notice that research is normal so that mage centric nations could utilize spells early on.
Actually Van is the kind of nation that benefits from the hard indies.

Hello

If ok for a new MP player (third game), I'll be happy to play with Agartha - Golem Cult

I would like to play as Man.

I'm a glutton for punishment hook me up with Agartha!

I'm sorry arnob, I don't think that would work. For the sake of clarity let's say that the experience bar for this game is at least 10 MP games. You see, any vet who starts next to you would almost certainly attack you ASAP thus gaining an unfair advantage. You won't enjoy that and it would upset the game balance.

@BigandScary, do you meet this "not complete newb" criteria?

@Slobby, prepare to feel the pain

It's a little rude but I understand your point.

I have a little question, the fact to put indy strengh to 9, isn't a big advantage for ermor ? More indy => More deads => More undeads ?

Oh, I'm sorry if it came out rude, that wasn't my intention and it's not always a pleasant job aiming for a game that would be balanced. I mean, if I were looking for unfair advantage I'd just open up the game to all and cheer for every unexperienced players that starts next to me.

re. your Q abut Ermor. There's a grain of truth to it but:
a- indie 9. has broader impact on the game and
b- I don't think this will give such a big advantage to Ermor to be able to recruit more chaff. That chaff would be useless against bless nations, early SCs etc. And
c- in early game research & expansion are more important than reanimating soulless.
Last,
d- Ermor can recruit the longdeads as much as it wants regardless of indie. setting.

really last point, you can all see I put indie setting as mutable. If you like we can vote on it.

Keep the indies at 9, that way us fast developers win the game!

Uh, and I suggest magic sites at 45 or more.
And I presume the capitals won't be marked right?

WraithLord · #30 September 30th, 2010, 11:55 AM

"Keep the indies at 9, that way us fast developers win the game!"
indies 9, +2

"Uh, and I suggest magic sites at 45 or more."
Isn't 45 the normal for MA?

"And I presume the capitals won't be marked right? "
Capitals would be VPs so I don't see how not to mark them. Any idea?

@All. re. the vets condition. Do you think I'm being too strict?- I mean, back in dom-I days when I started playing I jumped right into the water with all the sharks and nobody told me "back-off you newb"...
Any opinions?
