If no one objects I'll register this as a ladder game!

I think there are two more heros with charm ability in the dungeon of the halfling and frostling island.

A Glorious Start! Exept that ever time when I playtest this game i get a hero to join on the first turn. Everytime I play it for real, no hero. Darn!

To Zsaber...

They were given different abilities!

Azracs day 1

We advance and do very little except wait for the wandering monsters to attack before we capture some nice locations. We however have great luck as a nice hero decides to join our cause.

Humans

A horrid shout came from the capital of the human empire

- Where? Where? Where is my musket, my heirloom from my long lost father?

- Your majestive, you lost it in the banquet you attended yesterday. But we found a wand left by a old wizard who passed by couple days ago.

- What? lost it? how could that be true.

Refusing to admit her imprudence, she takes the wand and shake vigorously saying

- It's a bit rusty, can this thing still shoot?

Question: what does an use item having added attribute namely att, def, dmg and res, do if it really doesn't add to the hero stat who possess it?

Not too much happened...just normal moving out to see what's out there.

Turn sent to Sprout

Halflings - Day 1

We accept the services of a new hero! Then we look and realize that she (although level 3) is less skilled than a level 1 hero... Well, after that waste of money, we took out our frustrations on some passing beasts.

Turn sent.

Ahh! Poetic justice perhaps is served. Whenever I play this map in PBEM, No heroes ever join me. I believe everyone got a nice hero on day one...exept me. It is fitting that some are displeased with their heroes. My only comment in this forum is that if the said hero really is that bad of a deal,... then maybe the rest of us stand a chance!!

Any bad luck for the Halfpints is good luck for the Goblins. The Halfpint leader has a knack for badluck on my maps so I would advise any who wish to defeat him in ladder play to choose a genuine Arctic Wolf map to be sure you have the advantage.

The Goblins gobble up a nice city and use the inexpensiveness of our troops to begin the building of a mighty army.

NOTE to everyone. It seems as though two items giving dominate were left in the map by accident. If such items are retrieved from a lair or dungeon et cetera you must leave them where you find them!!

Note to Zsaber: Tough break with the item claiming it ups your resistance and then it actually not doing so. I have no idea why it worked that way, but the Goblins again are happy for the misfortune of others.

Azracs

So far so bad, wandering monsters do more damage than expected and battles go poorly as well. We expect to be attacked by more wandering monsters in the night.

Now this totally bites! I move all my troops up to take a farm, and rest for the night. I'm not worried. Seathe the mad is a great hero and Arctic Wolf is a wondrous leader. Then whiles we are sleeping three teensy weensy spiders creep up and kill everyone except Seathe and a rider who has to run and hide. Morning we lick our wounds.... Hmmm taste good. Lick some more mmmm! While we digest the situation we realize our plight is dire! No extra hero joins the goblins. Our troops are in dissarray. At least we kill the nasty spiders!

Azracs,

Once again, our mighty forces can't seem to do anything good in TC, guess I'll have to hope they do better when attacked by wandering beasts in the night.

humans - day 3

yup gotta say the tc really stunk us. Thankful no real casuality yet but it sure put a lot of burden on our shamans. Hopefully our heros will learn how to fight better tomorrow.

turn sent

Throngil do you have the turn?

Halflings

The night brings raiders that attack...but our small army holds on. The day brings a foolish attack - the good news is that we have a halfling swordsman who is gold medal now

Turn sent.

nasty beastys eat all our army including a hero in the night...arctic wolf why do you put so many dastardly indie creeps on your maps?

To Throngil

The most difficult stack of indies in the whole map is two doombats with underground concealment. Other stacks include three boars, five wolfs, and maybe a luker here and there.

I do not consider any of these stacks particularily difficult. In fact five archers can take out any stack I have created with minimal casualties. Since the map is not blind, I sincerely believed that each of us would properly prepare our troops for the fight we face. If this is not the case please accept my apology. Of course any bad luck happened upon by the Frostlings is considered good luck by the Goblins.

The main reason to create the stacks is to ensure that you have a challenging time right from the get go. You are forced to make resource decisions and tough choices. Personally I find this much more fun than whomping on the AI.

Azracs day 4

So few troops so little action. We do move our troops around a bit and finally uncover that nice pond that let's us see what everyone is doing

Halflings

If you uncovered your little pond, then you can see that we are doing nothing

Strapped for gold, we lose yet more troops today. Our respect for the lurkers, wolves and boars is the reason we have not ventured from our starting city to conquer our island yet...must build up a force of slingers first...

Turn sent.

Azracs

We continue our efforts to conquer new territory. Now if we could just get past all those underground beasts

Humans - day 5

Our surface is pretty plain too. now that we've almost taken care of some underground business, maybe we can pay a visit to all those wild animals out there.

turn sent

Azracs

So nice to see that first halfling enter the above ground. We are sure they've been busy underground lately. We too are trying to get underground, forces there aren't cooperating, next turn we will conquer the nasty wandering beasts.

Humans - day 6

We are wondering on the surface waiting for the indy forces to attack us. We are still poor with little gold and practically no mana.

turn sent

Halflings

Starting to probe around the surface...nothing major yet.

Turn sent.

Azracs

We continue to have fun above and below ground.

Humans - day 7

We have secured underground, now we are wondering how everyone else is progressing.

turn sent

Driven out of our homeland by the indies, we find friends elsewhere. And enemies? We wonder...

TS

Progressing? Let us just say that the Goblins face challenges.
