Erfgame 3 (CLOSED) - Rules and Discussion

Hmmm alright. I suppose so. We'll leave it as is. I just had a little panic attack at that.

by **0beron** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 5:09 pm

That's understandable. So on the related topic of Farms, do you like the 75 Schmucker "rebate" per Farm on the Side's upkeep?

by **Kaed** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 5:22 pm

Sure, I guess... is that within your little calculation thing?

by **0beron** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 5:29 pm

Yeah. 75 per turn would be rounding slightly down from the value you get from Mines or Mills. I opted for rounding down because a Farm will keep producing that "rebate" for as long as it stands, whereas Mill is a fixed amount over it's lifespan, and Mine is a random chance that you can't depend on.

It was less that it's really punishing, and more it seems waaay out of whack with all the other movement costs. Mountains cost 3, Heavy Forests cost 2, and suddenly Swamps cost 5? I'll admit Swamps are a pain to move through, but Mountain navigation is hard too, and bushwacking through Heavy Forest is exhausting, if slightly easier(assuming Heavy Forests are like BC rainforests; filled with undergrowth), if not by much. But, I will state that Swamps being on par with Mountains makes sense.

I'd give input on upgrades, but my Mathamancy juice is all gone for the day.

Why would you do that Kaed. I think I know why you did that, but still, why would you do that? You've made me sad now.

Actually, if it helps, it's not entirely House's fault here. There are other things in play, and when I build a plot the pieces are usually more in depth than they appear...

Oh my. Does that mean turn 10 is being entered now?

by **Kaed** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:16 pm

No, everyone is on the verge of turn 9 now. But I think we've waited long enough. Tomorrow I'm going to set up your starting location and then hand you over to Metheglin for your speed start. With luck you'll reach 10 with everyone else and then things can get more interesting.

Roger roger.

Oh good, another side to manage/plague/advance rapidly(pick one). I eagerly anticipate making your life interesting, sir.

Unrelatedly, I keep posting these before I'm done writing them and have no idea if it's operator error or some kind of weird bug or a layout flaw.

Posting something before you finish writing it? Sounds more like a problem you should take up with the temporal police...

For some reason, they're on vacation whenever I call them up to complain. Must be one of the job's perks.

But...when would...what caused...fool, doll, AND thinkamancy?! Very scared.

by **Safaquel** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 6:15 am

OK< could any of you people possibly assist me with creating a side of my own? Perhaps, just for fun? I've had an idea.

by **The Colonel** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 6:44 am

I can help with the units. Only if inspiration strikes......

nope sorry.

Do you have a theme?

by **Safaquel** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 7:09 am

Marketing/conman vibe. Carny-/dittomancy would be the simple/natural magical component. But possible applications, the applications...

Of course, there are pyramid schemes in there somewhere.

Be the mercenary side like charlie, only instead of information you trade temporary units (doubles) who have had their lifespan rigged to last a few turned longer.

It's a long story. Probably shouldn't have mentioned anything in the first place, so no more details.
