Titanic Mandate vs. Elder Gods

[Twoy]

Jon-Tom was just putting the finishing touches on World 4-8-15-16-23-42, his fellow titans had already moved on to start work on another world, when he sensed something very unusual. He sensed a great disturbance in the life force of the planet, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror. Completely ridiculous. Jon-Tom had not even popped any sides yet.

Hopping over to the source of the disturbance, Jon-Tom found a Ruler named Cthulhu, Level 1, Hits 10, Attack 8, Defense 8, Move 10 with the Rider and Leadership specials. A standard ruler in all aspects except this ruler was the most hideous creature Jon-Tom had ever seen. With the ruler were two equally hideous casters and a scout.

Could these be the malevolent and disgusting Elder Gods his brothers had warned him of? With a snap of his fingers and a blink of his eyes Jon-Tom wished the interlopers to be gone. Opening his eyes, Jon-Tom found the Elder Gods were still busily working away on their newly popped Level 3 City.

This will take stronger measures. I need 5 Rulers to volunteer to band together and eradicate this menace to New Erf.

Each Side begins with 1 Ruler, 1 Heir, 1 Caster, 1 Warlord, 3 scouts, 100,000 Shmuckers, and a view of the map 10 hexes out from a randomly selected hex. Players may place units anywhere within the identified starting area and divide the treasury however they want among the starting commander units.

Use the following rules to create your side. Version 0.37.

Once a side is approved, one of the five spaces will be reserved for that player.

Since I'm already in Kaed's game, I'll wait a few days to let others join before me.

[Nihila]

I'll be interested, I hope to have a side up tomorrow.

btw, to all players in 0beron's game, I'm very sorry if I've been making things lag, I've been busy recently.

Marshal Kowski,

I will be rolling for Warlord stats, and you and your heir did a bit better with my rolls. Iggy stayed exactly the same.

Still need your naval units.

Please give me your naval unit design.

[Twoy]

Just a note to all potential players. You can't reserve a place in the game. Complete your side, and I will send you your starting map. The first players to complete their sides will get a starting place. I have 5 starting places with a potential to add one or two more depending on how the game goes.

I am hoping that each turn will last about one week. If players submit their turns and I can process them quickly enough, turns will go faster than one per week. The fifth player to be issued a starting place may be a few turns behind the first player to be issued a starting place. I don't expect that to be a huge problem since the player-run sides are expected to ally with each other to defeat the Elder Gods.

The win condition is: You still have a ruler alive when the Elder God side does not have a ruler alive.

You probably should ally with each other as soon as possible. You may also elect to make a contract between your sides with penalties if the contract is broken. The penalties can be as harsh or lenient as both sides agree to. A signed contract must be agreed upon either by both sides sending me the exact same contract or by the exact same contract being posted on this forum.

[marshalkowski]

Twoy,
Updated my army based on your changes and added naval units.

Just wanted to let you know, there are a couple discrepancies in your Google doc as compared the stats you mentioned (namely Knights had 2 less Move and Siege Towers had 2 extra Hits).

And yes, Mountains are good, thank you.

[Twoy]

Marshal Kowski,
You were correct on both issues. I'm looking at an earlier version of the rules.

Please change your knight back to 26 move and your siege to 17 hits.

With 3 points to spend on your siege, you should have 17/0/10/6.

Deleted the map since I sent it by private message. Not sure that it matters, but just in case one of your allies decides to backstab you, I won't be placing maps on the general forum.

Updated unit roster & some fluff...

The Isoceleans are a proud people, convinced that the Triangle is nature's most perfect shape. Why they think this is not entirely clear. But what is clear is that Cthulhu and his band are anything but Triangular, and therefore must be eliminated.

[Twoy]

Incoming Question:
One last rule confirmation before I finalize and send you my turn: Cities only take up one hex?

Yes. And just to make sure you understand, you can start each of your commanders in a different location. You just need to make sure you tell me how many shmuckers each one has. It's not the normal procedure, but Jon-Tom wanted to make sure that you were able to build cities quickly.

Also, you need to be careful. There are wild units already on the map. You might want to pop a few support units before your warlord leaves the city.

If you choose to have one of your commanders pop where a wild unit is currently located, I will move the wild unit one hex in a random direction.

[Twoy]

LT Dave,
iGalley: 8-3-3-14-24; Water Capable
You seem to have spent 8 points on your iGalley to carry 8 extra passengers. While that is a good idea, I cannot find it in the rules anywhere.

The iGalleon can carry 32 passengers. That's a typo in the rules.
-iGalleon: 10-14-14-10-32; Ranged; Water Capable

I’m going to approve this side, but we need to work out the details on the Galley-class naval units.

(Note: Am I missing a rule here? You’re the second player who has increased the carrying capacity. Can’t find the rule anywhere. Please let me know where the rule is or change this unit. Or maybe I can add the rule in version .37 if everyone thinks it’s a good idea. Let me know what you think.)

-130: Ephebian Warship: 10-14-14-10-32; Ranged; Water Capable

Edit: Since you're the second plains guy, your starting area is not quite as good.Though you do seem to have more ruins to explore. Watch out for wild Dwagons, though.

[LTDave]

LT Dave,
iGalley: 8-3-3-14-24; Water Capable
You seem to have spent 8 points on your iGalley to carry 8 extra passengers. While that is a good idea, I cannot find it in the rules anywhere.

To be honest, I just copy and pasted another player's stats and changed the name. I didn't even realise what that last number means.

iGalley: 8-3-3-14-16? or whatever it should be.

[Nihila]

Eh, I thought we could increase Cargo for 1 point per point increase--I did it for thetobias's sides, and he didn't object, but now that I look it is not actually in the rules. But I like it, so I'll stick to it until told otherwise.

[marshalkowski]

As a Mountain side, I doubt I'll be making much use of naval units, but the points-for-cargo idea seems fair enough. I have no objections.
