FG: Galactic Overlord VIII Sign-Up Thread

[Skanky Burns]

Firstly, we need to decide some proposed rule changes.

Issue 1
a) Allow using a shield AND attacking on the same turn
b) Continue as now, shield OR attack

Issue 2
a) Allow multiple attacks
b) Attacks against only one opponent each turn

Issue 3
a) Shields do 12 hits of damage per attacking fleet (alliance fleets have damage spread out amongst them)
b) Shields do 12 hits of damage per attacker (each member of an alliance fleet gets 12 hits damage)
c) Shields destroy 10% of an attacking fleet
d) Shields destroy 20% of an attacking fleet

Issue 4 (No need to vote on this one - it was voted on during the previous game)
a) No attacking on turn 1 - It is a prebuild round


Now, the usual stuff.
GM: Smiley!

B, B, and B

The current system of constant shield damage discourages attacking early, while making players more willing to take the plunge late game.
Having it per ally will discourage those first-round conquests.

Jam also metnioned three new changes in Combat v1.4, including the following:

50% more hitpoints per ship (Frigate is now 3 hits, for instance)
Maneuvering (adds 50% to next weapon)
Disengage (abandon home bases midway through a battle)

[Ljube]

Jam's combat changes are fine.

I vote:

1) B
2) B
3) C

in spite of Smiley's quite eloquent argument.

However, shields are pretty useless late in the game. We'll see if this change will make them worthwhile.


And I'm in off course.
And Jam, your Napoleonic game has great potentials. The tactical options are superb!

[Tassadar500]

In, of course.

1) B
2) B

Pretty sure 10% of the fleet and 10% per attacker work out to the same thing. Unless the 10% per fleet is distributed unevenly?
