Well, since the "No retreating from a tactical combat in which you have attacked, shot at or used any spell or ability on enemy units unless at least one of your units have taken damage" rule is not included in this game, that pretty much rules me out.

Goodluck anyway!

Humans, please ( ramillies at email dot cz ).

Let's accept the Deroman's rule. (I have no problem with it, since I don't use nor like this way of fighting.)

Thanks, Kanibeos. :-) It will be my first PBEM.

I don't mind the no retreating rule. What about checking the map in the editor? (I'm against it).

Since everyone seem to want it we will use the no retreating rule for this game. We will not use the rule about not checking the map editor.

For such a large game it's absolutely vital that we abide by the rule about posting when we have played our turn. I won't mention any names but let's all consider whether we are willing to abide by that rule, even when busy.

Let's see how long will I be able to stand up to you

My experience in battling humans is ... very limited.

I hope I will be prepared. Development of minwrap (my Linux clone of AoW Wrapper) is proceeding well and it should be ready to relay the first mail of this game on 10th -- if not earlier.

im not planing to do so, how can i plan energy going off, or bugs on the game? (that , like you, seem to have "crash", likely to appear on dungeons and so) i dont like to cheat, but when i see someone restarted it piss me off a lot , i dont know why =)

its really hard to get so many players and NO restart msg on any player.. but we can try... you know.. if your hero die.. there will be more to join! we must not forget that.. this is a game.. if we are playing to win, for the pleasure of defeating others, well, there will be a lot of cheats, if we play cause we want to interact between us, and to just get fun, well, if your hero dies, it dies and no restart, you will not mind, but if you want to WIN, it will mind a lot.. whatever.. lets get some fun! =)

Perhaps accepting a restart will be easier for everyone if all restarts are explained? Of course it is in house rules, but please do it. It is neccessary to write "turn sent" messages, so it shouldn't be very hard to spend another 20 seconds writing a short explanation for restart (if you generated one).

Of course there is a natural pleasure in defeating enemies. That's one of the reasons we play it. But remember that if I lose a battle, the one who wins it will feel happy. Maybe some of this happiness can be left for the others.

After today, minwrap almost works. I'll give it a little polishing (and joining separate acts of either scanning mailbox for games or relaying a message from the game) and it is done.

I agree completely with both Pato and Ramillies.

To sum up: We play for fun. Please don't cheat. Explain all restart messages.

Also could you please us with another epic story, Deroman?

I will try my best -- writing logs started to entertain me in its own way -- but I'm better at language sugar than at storytelling. Maybe we could join our narrative forces?

It is my first time, so I have a question. Do I have to edit map to change the starting heroes, adding spellcasting IV and +1 defence?

Ramillies

posted 09-10-14 04:29 AM EDT (US) 24 / 28

No, you needn't do absolutely nothing until you get a mail with game. Then you play

[ All things connected with game setup are traditionally cared of by the player who started the thread. The information about leaders being replaced by heroes with spellcasting IV and +1 defence is there only to make you know what is exactly being setup how. ]

Also if this is your first game: don't be too surprised by slowness of playing. The 3 day limit per turn is usually satisfied (though sometimes technical (undeliverable mail, bad address, ...) or personal (Oh, I'm playing a game? Sure? Oh sorry, I have completely forgotten.) issues set in, and then it may take weeks to complete one turn of one player ...), but even if it is conformed to you can expect to play once per 10 days and the game itself may well exceed one year. (The another option is that everyone forgets about this game, it stalls and never surges again.)

As Ramillies said except that I'm usually pretty good at keeping my games alive so expect it to run till the end; with replacements for lost players if need be
