everyone ready to get in their turn 2 orders? And just wondering, any suggestions to improve this?

I've been thinking about making the Levels of heroes common knowledge- what do you all think?

It would give more data to figure out what people are doing without having to research a spell to determine that.

I've also been thinking about revealing the # of action points remaining.

What does everyone think about that?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Action points would be a bonus. I've forgotten how many I have left, as well as how many I have for this turn.

[Ben Kenobi]

Where is the turn 1 summary?

Don't we need to know what evil plans everyone is up to?

How can we possibly know who to strike at?

[DarkCloud]

Clarification, next turn people can attack. (Round 3/4) This turn (the one people are sending orders in for... is either Round 2 or 3... depending on how you count it

Hmm... I don't know what I would do for a summary, but I suppose I can fix a story-

action points remaining will be added in a second

[DarkCloud]

okay, so is that better, I now show levels and action points remaining and hint at what people are doing...

As for people needing to send in orders, we're only waiting on Spaced Cowboy and Nuclear Master right now. (I think)

Oh yes, and I think I've finally worked out a system for keeping track of things, so I think the "bugs" in the game are going down one by one- it can only get better from here

I'm having ideas for building special buildings in each city for version II- Dwarf Treasury in Rampart (extra action points), Cloak of Darkness in Necropolis, etc.

I'm also considering changing the level-up city bonuses and allowing players to select which primary skill gets improved in each character.

I also welcome any other ideas for improvements.

orders sent

[Ben Kenobi]

Nuclear Master

I may have to change my orders if this keeps up.

[DarkCloud]

He seems to have disappeared from many games.

[Ben Kenobi]

Dogpile!

[DarkCloud]

I decided to skip Nuclear Master since he hasn't sent in his orders.

The Story

The last turn before war was allowed was a quiet one for Nuclear Master who is in danger of losing his empire by default next turn as his peasants seek out new masters instead of their lazy, inept, and possibly deceased monarch.

For Gamecube- his character gained a level by defeating the horrible Hydra guarding a pond of gems. In addition, he recruited a new hero- Sir Ector the Knight, newly arrived from Erathia and ready to do battle against evil.

Spaced Cowboy meanwhile, leveled up Bad Bart and recruited more monsters to do his bidding.

Finally, Ben Kenobi worked feverishly on his Necropolis, building structures to augment his forces.

UPDATE
(remember you have to attack an army twice unless they concede the victory... before the hero is destroyed... and the losses have to be on consecutive turns)

(In the future- please specify which hero you want to attack.)

- ROUND 4: The Battles Begin

Battle began this turn as Spaced Cowboy's hero Bad Bart ventured forth from his Castle to wage war against Nuclear Master.
Bad Bart mauled Nuclear Master who retreated with only 2 Troglodytes remaining in his army. Bart, for his part, took total casualties of 2 Centaurs in the battle.

However, with Spaced's castle defended only by the level 2 Petey Pistol, Gamecube saw an opportunity and sent forth his hero, Corribus the Knight to wage war against the unfortunate Petey.
Petey fell with casualties of 11 Centaur. However, he managed to retreat with one remaining. Corribus, however, took casualties of 4 Pikemen in his assault on the castle.

Casualties:
*Nuclear Master Lost 8 Troglodytes, 1 Harpy
*Petey Pistol Lost 11 Centaurs
*Bad Bart Lost 2 Centaurs
*Corribus Lost 4 Pikemen

Known Army Strengths
*Nuclear Master Has 2 Troglodytes
*Petey Pistol Has 1 Centaur

---

Therefore, both Corribus and Bad Bart have leveled up and gained a Special Power from Appendix: A

Ben Kenobi, meanwhile, worked on a special construction project.

Interesting note: people need to invest more in Defense points in the future, methinks
