Re: End of the Third Age
should the victory conditions include the sylvan elves capital?
Re: End of the Third Age
lol
See, step by step we iron out every detail that could go wrong for whoever ends up playing the game. :) I would say that player capitals should all be on the list.
@croprasec, yes I was pulling your leg.

Re: End of the Third Age
Ok..so we have finally started ;)
Re: End of the Third Age
We can do that but after not being able to change the turn order I'm loath to make victory tougher on them.

Re: End of the Third Age
Myth is up, right?
I don't like the designation "Armies of Mordor" btw Zim, it's very possessive, focused on one faction and failing to represent the diverse evil qualities we all bring to the table. We have rights too you know. I demand that we be called the "Armies of Darkness" or "Armies of the Dark Lord" ;)

Re: End of the Third Age
I vote for "Servants of Sauron". That's group I just made for us to strategize in ;) so I'm not bias at all

Re: End of the Third Age
Does it really matter if it's Sauron or Mordor??..You call yourself UOASHRO (Ugly orcs and some humans riding oliphants) :P
Re: End of the Third Age
I like Servants of Sauron. It acknowledges by obvious over-lordship and awesomeness (XD) while also making it clear that there are many who bow before me, not just the inhabitants of Mordor.

Re: End of the Third Age
wait, I do have one rules question pertaining to.
- No sallies by defending armies.
I assume this means no sallies merely for the sake of denying sacking. If a full stack is besieged for example, I think they should be allowed to sally.

Re: End of the Third Age
Because of limitations on the ability to take a settlement in a single turn (not suing spies, and many factions do not have access to trebuchets) I left that in to prevent defending factions from just hiding in cities and sallying, counting on their superior skills on the field versus the AI since they're guaranteed a turn of safety behind their stone walls.
One player pointed out to me that this means a single unit could force a full stack to hide behind walls and not sally, which I agree is silly. We could just allow catapults to penetrate stone walls. All factions get at least catapults but only a few (alll good factions) get trebuchets.

Re: End of the Third Age
I think allowing catapults to breech stone and wooden walls is fine.

The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
