FG: Society III Game Thread

[:) Smiley]

Wow, Duke could actually pull off that OCC.

[DarkCloud]

Okay Smiley Thanks.

Question-
RESEARCH comes before UNITS right? So any units produced would cost the research amount?

-Orders SEnt.

[General Ludd]

I'm just going to ask here, 'cause it's not worth starting a new thread for.



Would there be any interest in playing a fantasy variation of this game, with more flexible (and less mathy) mechanics? Sort of like a cross between this and one of those 'never ending story' games.

[Skanky Burns]

Orders sent.

[DarkCloud]

General Ludd- how would you manage that, Just wondering? I don't really see how this can be simplified much more

Oh and by the way, the HOMM Forum game is under way at long last!

[Gamecube64]

Darkcloud: thank god...
Ludd and Sparrow: Fixing

By introducing a fudge factor and leting the GM decide the outcome of events rather than relying on arithmetic.

Or even if I do figure out a decent arithmetic based ruleset, there wouldn't be the same sort of factors as in a Society game since things like technology or governments wouldn't really be an issue in a fantasy setting, not to mention exponential growth.

[Sparrowhawk]

Working on orders now, sending shortly!

Edit: Sent!

[:) Smiley]

Research before units, if you disvover tech 10, armies cost 10 a pop.

[Gamecube64]

Time to process, to keep you entertained while I do look at this quote from Skanky's orders.. you can tell he was pretty drunk... look at the horrible spelling... tsk tsk.

I'll check my army production tomorrow when I am less alcoholicyl imparied.

Okay, I suppose I'll be interested in that case, but I'd like to see the rules first

Society Wars: The Spaced Dudes Strike Back
104 newly trained space cowboys left the dude ranches and descended upon the barbarian villages of kuciwalker. What they found was a bigger uproar than usual, because of a revolution. but the bloodthirsty warriors who had terrorized the cowboys were still ready for battle. Of course, these were the citizens. In all warlike civilizations everyone is a warrior you see. The Spaced Dudes easily overtook the civilian militia, and captured all the cities. Usually a republic would let an enemy leader go free, but Kuciwalker was taken prisoner, tried for warcrimes, and executed. The Dude Ranches captured by the barbarians were restored, and the barbarian villages were made modern. He couldn't pay most of his armies so all of them were sent off duty and only 50 were kept

Darkcloud attempts to unseat barbarians, finds cowboys
Darkcloud attempted to sneak attack the barbarians but he found they had been conquered by the finest space cowboys in the land

Sparrowhawk continues his assault
Sparrowhawk continued his assault with 192 armies, he took 3 causualties and all of General Ludd's once proud utopia.

[General Ludd]

As I expected.



But, a correction: I sent my spy towards Sparrowhawk.


In retrospect, I should of sent it against the war phase... 'though I was certain he would send a spy against me this turn to protect against such a thing.


EDIT: Ah, I see that Sparrowhawk did send a spy at me, afterall. And I had just gotten my calculator out show how I should still have some cities left.

[DarkCloud]

Just wondering, what happened to my tech research?

Oh and by the Way Spaced- I was attacking Skywalker- not you

[DarkCloud]

I should have a lot more gold- should I resend my orders?
