Indeed. Well, I would say it'll be fine since he's UW, BUT there's now two UW races.... which means I probably have to pick a different map.

"The map is suitable for 8-12 players where up to three are underwater nations."

Believe the map authors!

 

[Dreaad]

At least it makes for good role playing

Once long ago, the great ocean was ruled from a huge, magnificent city. The city housing ancestral ghosts, the wise melia, tribes of fantastical UW creatures and all the wildlife common under the waves. It was a time of peace and co-operation. Then one day, the planets were in alignment, the ancient Christmas pretenders awoke, the great city was rent into two halves and the holy Tidal War began. Friends turned on friends, families torn apart etc etc, so on and so forth :D

That war might end sooner than that if one of the nations took awaken Pretender.

Yes, if not Therodos is done, their troops arent even good uw...

"Plane of Rusty Caves with reduced bad starts."

Looks like the bad starts were removed a bit too aggressively and there was probably only two uw provinces without nostart-tag remaining. It seemed all alright in single-player tests, but then again I had the umodified Rusty Caves (with all the bad starts!)

Who's got the .map file we're using now? (besides llamaserver) Dreaad ? Could you load the map quickly in editor and check whether all the other water provinces are nostart?

 

[Dreaad]

It doesn't appear so but I have no idea what I'm doing really. If you want to check there's a link in the OP for the thread where the map was created.

He's asking about the script, not the .tga file. You modified the map somehow, right? Or someone else did it for you?

I mean, you didn't just choose a random custom script from llamasever's list, uploaded by god knows whom and why, and then just fired up the game coz WHY NOT?

Drunk and stuffed with christmas food, I begin to resemble the average Agarthan. Good luck to everyone!

EDIT: O Tannenbaum is my favorite name of the Pathenon!

 

[Grimwulf]

average Agarthan

 

[sqeecoo]

Exactly!!

*Let's quickly do this turn, then get to eat sumthin', this has to end*

*checks turn*

I'm dying here

Literally

 

[Grimwulf]

I'm dying here

Now guess who took the mercs last turn.

Spoiler

 

[Grimwulf]

Also, Oceania sent Pretender to attack UW indies on 1st turn blind? Daumn, the sheer ballz are bronze on this one.

 

[Dreaad]

To be fair I can't think of any indie UW province that could beat a giant snake. It's not like you can run into shaman's that curse you.

Sea trolls for one got enough damage to beat thru snake protection. Any mage spamming summons would also work but those are indeed rare uw. There are also unique uw provinces with like mind blasters that I have seen. Or simply 80 shark tribe tritons with their shark cav.

 

[Dreaad]

I'd imagine in most those situations it could still run away in time. Idk, personally I throw the snake and kraken around on the first turn too, if I'm UW.

 

[Malakal]

Eh I guess, uw is kind of hardcore as far as indies go tho. And if the snake gets surrounded while routing his fate is sealed.

 

[Grimwulf]

Both Earth Serpent and Kraken can catch a bleeding easily, and that's it. Kraken also fatigues out quickly. Also

And if the snake gets surrounded while routing his fate is sealed.

this. Almost impossible to escape from UW indy hordes.
