FFH PBEM XIV Organizing/Tech Thread

[Tasunke]

This unit does not exist in base FFH.

I was afraid of that

there's no way to restrict Fire Elementals from entering player areas ( there's no movement restriction on fire elemental ).

Actually there is, its called Snow(Ice).

This is why you cannot use both Snowfall and Fire elementals in the same attack unless you use the elementals first

-----------------------------

And you are right ... you'd have to turn off hell terrain if you wanted that to not be broken ...

Assuming "no hell terrain" and "Hyborem" can even work in the same sentence

Out of curiosity, how was Hyborem going to break the map? Had he spawned in the ice without any mobs to fight him, surely the lack of any production or commerce tiles to work would have been nerf enough? I mean, yeah he can run an economy on specialists alone, but that really only happens in SP games where you can peacefully tech a bunch of expensive civics and the AI feeds you tons of manes...

There was tons of metals in the ice - gems, iron, marble, gunpowder. More than enough to massively outproduce everyone else after Smelting ( which is not that much of an ask ). Also, all that land would be essentialy uncontested expansion space with noone being able to make effective use of the Ice.

[Tasunke]

Why not just have it be empty Ice/ Desert?

[Mist]

To make it actually worth fighting over later on.

Otherwise it might as well be empty ocean, but that's hardly more than a boring wheel map.

[Ellimist]

That sucks. Especially since I was about to Spring the Desert Barrier on both Illios and Ellmist this turn!

Yeah... you really think I wasn't all over that?

From T120:

Your centaur was already dead, an adept was in place to immediately re-scorch, and PZs were ready to kill the adept and scout.

[Ilios]

Alright, good going everyone, I've thoroughly enjoyed the game and the pace.

[Tholal]

Yeah... you really think I wasn't all over that?

Argh. Those damn Spiders! Oh well, I expected you would be able to handle it (after all, I did trade Sun mana to you), but I thought I could at least get a couple of Ice Barbs through before you could fix it.

Anyone know what happened with Hyborem? How was he killed? Shouldn't he have been at peace with the Barbs?

[Tasunke]

The HN barbs killed all of Hyborems units ... we were actually farming newly created manes with our spider :D

As for the Gela, not sure what happend to it ... we had a plan to kill Hyborem with a scout.
