Proposal: EitB Pitboss game
|
|
about the banning of Altar and Tower victories: I'm ok with banning them, but I'd like the Victory conditions to be enabled otherwise the lesser Towers and Altar levels can't be built (I think....haven't actually tested this...). The Lesser Towers/Altar levels to have their uses apart from enabling the Victory, I'd like to have them available as a potential toy to play with.
 Quote:I'd be willing to play, but at this point in my RL it would have to be on a team of players I knew I could work with. Hopefully all the teams will have good internal dynamics. The quote from Scooter in the opening post is bang on. I think Mardoc and I are about 90% committed, and we have a third teammate (Ellismist) but he's got some connectivity issues and isn't certain if he can connect to the game. Does anyone know if there is a way for him to test this before the game gets underway? WRT to DaveV's comment in the OP about Restricted Leaders elliminating the snake pick, I'm not following the logic here. We used a snake pick with restricted leaders in X and it seemed to work out ok, though we might want to consider banning the Clan.

You can still build the lower Towers/Altars if the victory conditions are disabled. That's why the final Altar gives you a golden age.

I'd always wondered what the point of the Final Altar GA was.....you've just won the game....here, have a free, pointless GA.

Hart - recruiting a team from your group would be perfect! I'm leaning toward teams of 3 at this point. Your guys are all aware of the "no reading spoiler threads" deal, right?
Thoth - I set up a sequential LAN pitboss for testing, and world spells definitely work. I didn't play long enough to determine whether events were working.

That's two teams signed on.... Quote:Thoth - I set up a sequential LAN pitboss for testing, and world spells definitely work. I didn't play long enough to determine whether events were working. Bah. This is what happens when I rely on Bob for game mechanics info. Ok, scratch everything I've said about how FFH PB games work....I obviously don't have a clue about how these things actually work.
