Special raw^TM team-draft.

Tell us more.

I'll have you know its retarded to play disciples with a random draft. As is playing two big teams.

Two big teams makes perfect sense, random draft is kinda random though. It doesn't really matter still, in all likelihood the better team wins even with a worse team.

Two teams make no sense, once one starts winning the game is over due to the snowball effect. Also two teams at odds with each other eliminate any build other than the rush ones.

I've played a good amount of duel games, Dominions works in that perfectly well. Longest duel I've played went to turn 70-something, and that was on the small Twolands map (W9 awake Dragon Arco for me vs. N9B9 Mictlan). Of course it rules out slow-starting strategies but there's still hundreds of ways to have an explosive early game.

Easy research is a must of course. And map size matters, you should have more provinces per player here.

Of course, a lot of 2-team games will end early, especially if either side commits everything to an all-or-nothing rush, but that goes for any strategy game. But there's nothing intrinsicly wrong with that.

You know what, it's FINE, because even a blind archer finds a target once in a while.....when there are 200 of them.

No random draft. We'll do it differently.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Hell yeah I'm in, the turkeys have just about gobbled their last.

Will say I'm not a huge fan of two teams, would prefer 5 teams of two or 3-4 of three.

 

[thesheeep]

200 targets or 200 archers?

 

[KoolNoodles]

200 targets or 200 archers?

Why not both.

 

[pakoito]

You can't hit the wind.

 

[JohnTheRevelator]

That's a second game in a row I don't get tagged. I'm sure it's just an honest mistake.

No random draft. We'll do it differently.

Lets just vote for team captains then have the captains draft the players then do snake draft for nations.

 

[sqeecoo]

Here's a stupid puzzle for you.

What's this:

Spoiler

Spoiler

An Agarthan infantrymen winking at Tien's archers.

And this?

Spoiler

Spoiler

A pale one winking at Tien's archers.

 

[KoolNoodles]

It would be cool if the game could model fire arrows "lighting" up an area for the next volley or having archers shoot in waves. Pretty impractical in real life though, don't want to give away that position.

As a side note, why is everyone ganging up on poor Abysia?

Starting this turn I'll be willing to buy/sell/trade gems and astral pearls. Please offer prices via DM.

 

[Kane]

I assume everyone who has posted in this thread has signed up.

 

[Malakal]

Nope, Im not playing disciples. Had one big 10 vs 10 game and wasnt happy with it and seeing how stale prone Codexers are this one will be even worse.

 

[JohnTheRevelator]

I haven't decided yet. More than 2 teams would be more interesting imho. I'm also not convinced big teams will work well with codexers considering how much time sometimes it takes to agree on a simple trade. Different time zones and all that crap. 48h turns would be bare minimum after initial expansion period.

Codexers are not stale prone. At least in my games.

Bar raw.

I'd love to do Disciples, but I am starting to go near the rule "Too many games" at once, and this will be the 3rd. Never start too many games at once, I'm told.


If you get enough people, I'm freely offering my place in Decline3 to someone else to join this one. It's not that I don't like Marignon, but I would love to do a proper team game.

[sqeecoo]

I'd love to play this, but three games is too much, I'm struggling with two as it is

If you delay long enough for one game to end I'll be up for it, of course.

I'm also deeply honored to be the centerpiece face on the poster, I don't think I deserve that. Perhaps as a zero to hero main character, with mentor/love interest to my sides.

 

[Berekän]

I'm in.

 

[Grimwulf]

Sorry, raw. Still too old to play more than one pbem at a time. Especially in big team. You do realize just how much cooperation and teamwork is involved, right?

But before making final decision about this, one question to you. Do we accept newfags in 'Dex pbems? Coz if we do, I hearby summon Lizzurd. Newfag in Codex, oldfag in 4chan and desura pbems. Malakal can confirm it, probably. (it's Azatoth)

And since Imma newfag myself, another question to all of ya. Why no one ever tags mondblut or DakaSha? They both play the game. Unless there is some Codex Black List that I don't know about?

 

[Muty]

I'm also offended because I was not tagged.
