First topic message reminder :

This is where players can gather to suggest some rules, and if enough of us start jabbering, maybe something will happen.

My current suggestion:
Reduce the Combat multiplier range from [.5, 1.5] to [.75, 1.25]. This is just to ensure a little more carnage ensues on both sides. Twisted Evil Carnage=good!...Wait...

Well, it'll make battles dependent on luck, but not so dependent that a 2-Attack unit can croak a 4-Defense unit.

(2*1.5=3; 4*.5=2; 3>2)

An insanely evil, militaristic plains-lover Titan won't match very well with Narnia. Narnia is basically good, defensive and mountains.

Ok, on the questions of good, neutral and evil.

The ethical axis (good/evil) of the allignment is more for roleplay, good and evil do not exist per se, Stanley: "There is no good and evil, only holy and unholy.". Until further notice all Titans are considered to be holy (in their own way:twisted:).

The moral axis (lawful/chaotic) is more important, a lawful titan will favor open honorable combat and will frown upon backstabbing (to a certain extent). A chaotic titan would favor backstabbery and roguish tricks finding foolish standoffs to be just that, foolish, not honorable.

Then there is the descriptor axis, this describes an important part of your titans character, honorable chaotic, lawful insane etc.. The Titan will act according to his descriptor.

So as an example:
Jack Frost is Lawful (F)rigid with Evil tendencies.
Jack is lawful so he favors honorable combat and traditions. Because of his evil side he would not care about the occasional double dealing, but only with non-believers.
Jack is (F)rigid, ignoring the pun, Jack is very rigid in his lawfulness, he will quickly mark people not following his rules as unworthy and be less prepared to support them.
Jack is Evil, this does not mean that he goes around slaughtering kittens or pushing babies of bridges, he simply has a more bastardish mindset than other Titans and will delight in suffering or torture caused by his followers. How this translates in the game you will have to find out.

Bear in mind that even though Jack is evil this does not mean an OMGWTFBBQ LETS HADOKEN THIS WORLD attitude. To quote Xykon: "I like the world. Some of my best evilness took place here. I wouldn't mind ruling it, in fact. I'm certainly not about to destroy it unless I get really, REALLY bored."

Narnai doesn't need a Titan. The Vaygr do. If there is no plains-lover who loves people who make Stanley look peaceable and Parson look harmless, then the Vaygr don't have a Titan. And that would be sad.

Wouldn't narnia be a forest-based side that wants to be near the ocean?

Burrowing units get an ambush bonus because they caught the garrison unaware and they were prepared for a fight. Not knowing what is in there is just the risk they're taking.

The natural allies suggestions seem interesting, but I'd say no to the taming beasts one. I think the only way you should be able to tame beasts is with a canymancer. Otherwise, they're only good for "harvesting".

Aslan leads them to his country, telling them to go further up and further in, to a country which is revealed to be the "real" Narnia...

Sounds like mountains to me.

Also, forests suck. Also 2, I'm not really interested in ships, navy battles and having my units drown when someone destroys the boat they are sailing on.

I think that desert, tundra, water and mountain based sides have the biggest advantage. Still this means that those few plains sides can control the grasslands.

We could have had a water based side? Underwater cities would be a bit overpowered. And I could have burrowers that are water capable. Hmmm, I don't think it would work with my sides theme though.

I don't think you have cities created in water, they'd have to be made on an island or shore.

Each of the terrains have advantages and disadvantages. I think plains are very good economically. Forest are very bad economically, and their defense advantages are only mediocre.

Coastal cities can build wharves, which are good economically. With water-capable units, you don't have to worry about ships or your units drowning.

Can I get an official ruling on building tunnels that non burrowing units can move through? I know SirShadow responded, but is that the official ruling?

You can build a tunnel the same way as a road, this will require a tunneling unit or a dirtamancer in the stack.

If being ambushed by it counts as "finding" it Razz

A hidden unit acts as if it were veiled by a level 0.5 foolamancer. This means that you will need leaderhip to spot them.

So, if I understand the Spell Comendiumata correctly, a Level 5 or greater Warlord has a 100% chance of finding hidden units, correct?

Will we be told what a stack's stance is? As in, "Hold," "Berserk," "Fortified,"? It might be good to know if an enemy's Berserk or Fortified, after all.

Needs clarification:
When units tunnel into a dungeon with units in it they are considered ambushed.

When units tunnel into a dungeon with units in it "the defending units" are considered ambushed.

When units tunnel into a dungeon with units in it "the attacking units" are considered ambushed.

Really? That makes burrowing a little overpowerful--one can easily take cities by ambushing the defenders from underground. Since the burrowers wouldn't know anything about the troops they would be attack, shouldn't the burrowers get ambushed?

As stated before, its not about knowing what your attacking, its about being prepared for a fight. Unless yhe defenders knew the burrowers were coming, they wouldn't be ready to engage, so they would be ambushed. Not knowing what theyre getting into is just the risk the burrowers take.

I know it may seem slightly overpowered, but just means cities should invest in tunnel defenses. Also, this is cannon, ansem tried this on gobwin knob, but they noticed the burrowers coming.

For balance I also suggested burrowers speed be halved when burrowing.

As I've stated before, the GK Tunnel attack took a full turn to pass from entering the Tunnels to getting close to the Dungeon. Which would also balance the problem.

I think they had to enter the tunnels from a few hexes away. They weren't tunneling units (they didn't dig the tunnels themselves), they were just lights that could fight underground or had a bonus underground. Granted, I'm probably not the most unbiased person to be talking about this . Very Happy

Other things considered, remember that burrowing is twice as costly as flight, and can only be taken by 3 units (knights, C, and D) while everything can have flight.

That's a good point in the cost and availability. But also, there were panels that showed the marvits digging
