A PbP Strategy Game for Erfworld

[Crovius]

My free time is likewise consumed by DragonAge:Origins, so I'll be on during the week while at work, and rarely when I'm home.

I think we should also start figuring out how we'll make the next game work. so far I've nominated myself as DM and had one person secodn me, and no other posts on that topic. I can start picking out which rules to use, and I can work out how simple or complex I want the world to Start, since this version we all started bare bones setting, next game I'd like some a-mancy things already done, like warlords, different types of units, and size of the map.

Greetings Team,

I can't commit to a bigger game than this one.
Is too much for my pea sized brain.
When this winds up, count me out for the V2.0

Crovius,
Can I suggest that discussion about a different version of the game happen in a different thread. You are more likely to capture the attention of other potential players that way. This thread can be reserved for this game, and its ongoing machinations.

Personally, I prefer a simple(r) game without a GM, which is what this is meant to be. You are right in one of your earlier posts in saying that "Erfworld is complex". I agree. I feel the system we see in the comic is too complex to be accurately recreated via the forum medium.
This game is meant to capture the feel, but decomplify it as much as possible.

1. 160 Shmuckers from my cities (160+36=196 Shmuckers)
2. 40 Shmuckers to upgrade Ritia to Lvl 4 leaving me with 156 Shmuckers.
3. Ritia will pop a unit of siege Vana will pop a cavalry and Gloria will pop a flier and so will Vices
4. Upkeep is 81-10% totalling 73. leaving me with 83 Shmuckers.
5. I get 6 points this turn since Crovi researched Provisions, also I would like to delete Resting, if I get a refund I'd like to know, either way though I still wanna delete Resting, too hard to keep track of.
Garrison is (3+3+6)/3 =4^2=16. I'll put 1 into Garrison and 5 into Cover-A-Mancy.
Provisions 4/4. COMPLETE. 10% off upkeep
Resting 4/16. you only have to pay 2/3 upkeep on units that don't move on that turn Deleted
Garrison 1/16. can Garrison infantry in a city, Garrison units cannot move, but in combat, you get a +1 (unaffected by city multiplier) modifier for each.
Steal-A-Mancy-A-Mancy 5/14. You can research things other people have proposed before they finish the research
6. Both cavalry in I3 go to G5
the Siege in G5 moves to F5
the cavalry in H5 goes to F5
both fliers in H6 go to F5
the Flier in I5 goes to F5
end result:
I5: 3 infantry
H6: 1 infantry
H5: 1 infantry
G5: 1 infantry, 2 cavalry
F5: 1 siege, 1 Cavalry, 3 Fliers

Well, six days have passed since my last post, so I'm jumping in and siezing the advantage.

[Daemonwelsh]

I thought we were going by 6 days after the previous person...

[turbler]

nope, 6 days since my last turn for me

[Daemonwelsh]

1. 130 gold from current cities

2.

3. One infantry popped in Tribble
One infantry popped in Shlock
One infantry popped in Mercenary

4. Total upkeep this turn: 57
(ending cash total: 204)
5. 1 points into Rush a-mancy: total to completion: 15/42
turns to completion: 6
4 Points into Alliance: Total to completion: 4/4
turns to completion: 0
Alliance is picking: 28.35 Grams.
28.35 Grams and Gorf may no longer enter combat against one another, and may occupy hex's with units from the either side to be treated as the same side. Victory conditions count for both players, but a neither players allies capital does not contribute to victory conditions.
MWAHAHAHA! SUCCESS!

6. 6 infantry move from e3 to f3
5 infantry move from e2 to f4
3 infantry move from e1 to f1
1 infantry move from f1 to g1

No combat this turn.

[Daemonwelsh]

Well, six days have passed since my last post, so I'm jumping in and siezing the advantage.

and I claim success! for I am now your ally.
consider the city a peace offering.

now scuzzy me while I go chomp some marbits.

btw...
I don't think ill be able to keep my map up to date, mostly cause of the viruses I have on my Computer.
every now and then I may be able to get it posted, but it doesn't seem like it will be a regular thing.

[turbler]

nooooo! I love your maps! They help me keep track of my units, and more importantly, everyone else's.

So here's my map for turn 4. If you can't see it here, visit: HERE


Daemonwelsh - took me from left field there. I'm going to assume that I can't be forced into an alliance with anyone else?
Thanks for the city - we will consider it tribute to our greatness.

turbler - I'm not sure what level your cities are. Can you specify please?

[turbler]

All level 4s Dave, except of couse, for my capital. Oh, and the units are not colour coded, except siege, and, if I read it correctly, d6 (water hex) has a siege on it... Explaination requested. Although otherwise you do make a good map, even though I'd love to see colour ocding.

[LTDave]

turbler -
the units are not colour coded, but units that appear in a hex that does not have a city in it get a coloured square.

The only problem with this plan is Daemonwelsh's Ally-A-Mancy, which means that two powers can share a hex.

No, you cannot be forced into alliance with someone else. And allied sides are treated as the same sides for combat purposes.

Yay for Ally-A-Mancy!

Our chatroom is here for discussions about the game.
Not exactly a chatroom, but a part of the forum.

It would be preferable if this topic were to be strictly gameplay, and the other one used for mechanics, and everything else.

[Crovius]

So who's turn is it? I've been in the hospital since thursday.

[Daemonwelsh]

Crovius and Telva... it is either of your turns.
I don' know who's
