Pre-Beta Test Empty Pre-Beta Test

Post  Twoy Sat Dec 25, 2010 3:23 am

I recommend the 3 titans run a pre-beta test to iron out the process if you have not already done so. The pre-beta should run for about 10 turns.

Titan A--GM.
Titan B--Newbie Side with a level one city and an overlord.
Titan C--Starts at round Turn 50 with a level 4 capital, and two level 2 cities. Just popped his first warlord in his capital last turn and will pop another next turn in one of his level 2 cities and the turn after that another warlord. At least one of the warlords should be a caster. He would also start with about 2,000 upkeep worth of units.

The purpose of the test would not be to see if Titan B can destroy Titan A. The purpose would be to set up a process to run orders.

despite the interesting things about this playtest, I don't think a player could EVER beat a GM... :P

Sir Shadow, your Stabbers and Archers should have 40 and 40/50 upkeep, respectively. Upkeep increases by 5 per point spent on specials, not 5 per special.

Also, A/B units can't buy complex specials (Fast, Fabrication), and C units can't buy high-level specials(limited -mancies)

There are 3 kinds of specials, simple, complex and high level. All units can use their points to buy simple specials. Only knight-class infantry and A-, B-, and C-specials can take complex specials. The high-level specials can only be taken by knight class-infantry and C-class specials. Every point you invest in a special increases the units upkeep by 5$/turn (this only counts for stabbers, pikers, archers and scouts).

That's from what I understand to be the official rules...

Oh... I thought it was different... sorry...

Wait, why aren't D-class units mentioned in that excerpt? They're a little important.

Aaaah... I see the problem...

The part Sir Shadow is quoting is an old bit, left from before I found the D-specials in Kaed's rules. (it could also have been a mistype while making the rules. I'm only human.)

Clarifictation
A/B can NOT use complex
C can NOT use high level


Simple: All units
Complex: C, D, Knight
High Level: D, Knight

On another note: It might be better to start both me and shadow of as beginning sides on the provided map. That would simulate how New Erf will be run. (2 sides per titan and stuff) I am looking at making two sides and locking me out sir shadows and vice versa (but giving everyone else full-view privileges)

I think the large side was so GMs could see how much effort running a side 80+ turns into the game is going to be like, not necessarily to see if the little guy can "win". It will be good to try and find a method of going through a turn for both small and big empires that requires minimal work for the GM. Having both start small it will take you guys a good while to get to where you can develop a method. What speeds up a small empires turn may slow down a large one, and vice versa.

Well, if that is the case, I would make the argument that fabrication is a simple special since Twolls are clearly an A/B special.

What is the C unit?

Spidews could easily be A or B
Dwagons are D

according to the blip about gobwin knob city production:
twolls can be created in a level 1 city
spidews can be created in level 2 city
dwagons can be created in a level 3 city.

I'm guessing spidews are the C because they have: Mount, Burrowing, and Toxin.

Twolls could be heavy Knights. GK's Hobgobwins are Natural Allies.

Or, Spidews could be heavy Knights, which makes more sense.

Well, Gobwin Knob also has like 7 or 8 colors of dragons (so 8 different D units) which isn't accounted for either. It's hard to compare, but Fabrication seems to be fairly low level.

well, I'd assume the different color dwagons are a special due to the arkenhammer. Given his liking for them, Gobwin knob probably has red dwagons as their normal popping unit.

The fabrication that Twolls have seems to be much weaker than the fabrication from a mancer or mancer link.

Comparing the fabrication that we have seen from GK with the fabrication in the current rule set is like comparing apples and 100 pound watermelons. GK's trolls have not accomplished anything comparable to what fabrication allows in the New Erf rules.
