Slightly curious if I would have beat the player at A5 with my unit after failing miserably with the B7 fiasco.

Tell me more about B7!

I never actually got to the fighting stage as I was busy accruing my sweet sweet gold I was going to send in some armies to weaken a D'Arsenale tile this cycle.

Indeed, in the end, I never got round to using a single ability, either personal or ones available in the OP, other than marriage and heir (built a War Council and Spymaster though). But I was getting to the point where I had enough resources to carry out lots of actions every night, which is when I would have really got going.

I was scouting with my starting regiment and didn't see that B7 was a home base for someone, got crushed appropriately.

Haha! That's one way to find out! Why didn't you send Spies out first?!

Was using them for economy, and it takes away the element of surprise if they see my scouting them first. Better to go in blind then let them prepare! In theory anyway.

You were pretty close to taking Sorrit out. the units were on the weak side, but he had an Arsenal built and was sitting on 18 manpower. Next cycle, Tatts would have had a Spy on his estate, and would have been able to send in Brigade size forces of tier 10 as defensive help.

Tatts btw was the real min-maxer this game: I think at the last cycle, he made over 25 manpower per cycle. Turns out Regiments with Huscarls lead by a Robber Baron are giving great growth and do awesome work in battle, too.

[The Unfound]

Sorry Tatts for my lackluster performance. The Brujah modkill right off threw me for a loop that I never really recovered from. I would have been fine for time just being a player. Being made faction leader so early gave me too much to juggle.

Thanks Tapper, it was alot of fun trying to figure everything out.

My homebase was A3

Place steward on C3

Move units in A3 to D4 using 6 manpower from my ability.

Move units from C3 to C4

Create Regiment 2 manpower

I was hurt when reading that initially

[Andorion]

Damn, what a shame. I didn't really get to give as much time as I wanted due to some unavoidable stuff, which I PMd earlier, but I was enjoying it. I had plans.....

A5 was my home base. Odd that you chose two home bases as your.2 choices. And as the faction leader my unit was made with 10 manpower instead of the normal 5.

I started moving to those 2 after finding that A8 was empty which would have mirrored were I started. (Which was C10)

Do you still have the unit you created? I would like to see what the outcome would be in the battle calculator.

My unit ended up being Attack Up 2 / Enemy Attack Down 1 / Ambush 0 / Melee 0 / Charge 2 / Pike 36 / Range 12 / Morale 21 / Toughness 19

Glad to hear!

Thanks for putting it on. Even calling the game this early, I can say I enjoyed it.

[Blend]

Shame this had to be called - Tapper, was a quite enjoyable game, though I agree with much of the criticism that's already been mentioned upthread.

Either way - don't quit doing what you do Tapper, I was serious when I said (on thread, or in PM, I don't remember) that I could totally see this as a forum game a la Eclipse, with a few modifications!

[Brujah]

Yeah, I was ready to have some major fun and kick some major ass. Tatts and Unfound were on top of things. I felt like we would have definitely won..

Yeah but I got mod killed before cycle 1 ended. So there's no telling what I would have added to my tile and/or unit before you got there. It was just the unit we had to create to get the game started.

Argh, sorry IB! Uh, guess you did a good impression of Mess No, it was a great efforrt on your part.


At least Gnaw informed me that Karosis was Andorion, and not Bek Okhan as Mess had intimated to me

[Gnaw]

Tapper, now that we know Khess and Mess weren't going to lynch folks just yet, would Bubba and I have been able to spam the nobles quickly enough?

I believe Blend was gearing up to hit you hard.

[Gnaw]

Me or Bubba?

Through mis-reading my cycle 2 xls and mis-understanding of the resolution order, I was essentially defenseless. Any nobles I created I was going to give to Bubba in anticipation of my impending demise.

To be fair I never did find out from Tapper if that was possible.
