Oh. That makes sense.

...And there will be some way to program in autoturns?

I'm not actually expecting people to take every turn. At some point it should be possible to set multiple turns at once. Although how the program will resolve errors where you thought you had more money or w/e than you did is hard to say.

I think that the theocracy should be a Magocracy since it has a magic bonus. You don't get to add new races/cultures to your nation. Vision and concealment affect how close you can get an army to someone's personal lands.

I see, I see.

Perhaps I should get a building list up today or tomorrow so people know what they have to work with.

That would be handy.

Nation Name: Lorinthus
Government Type: Theocracy
Religion Name: No formal name, worship of the Emperor
Races: Dragons, Kobolds, Deep Elves, Humans, High Elves
Hero: Emperor Lorith the Unfathomable, Magical ArseholeLibrarian

Waiting on Map, building list, etc for more details.

That's more or less what I was asking about.

...Hopefully that point will be around when the game actually starts?

[RangerCado]

Okay, i'm settle on my races. No more changing unless more races are added again.

Is it just me, or did just about everyone choose dragons?

At the start of the game there is no reason you should need to run more than 2 turns a day, and which 2 doesn't really matter for a while.

Dragons have that cool factor. Personally I tend to not pick races with land combat bonuses, but the dragon does have a pretty good one.

Aren't there six turns in each day?

Well, I had to take Kobolds, and once they were chosen... Well, why not? Besides, it fits the theme I'm working on.
Edit: Actually, aren't there only three of us that have dragons?

I assume MoL meant that you won't need to issue orders every turn near the start.

That is correct. Honestly, you don't really need to do more than 3 turns a day in the whole of the game. Spread out turns help time zone differences and let obsessive people min-max, although min-maxing is limited to some degree.

I would say your hero is immortal. Only courtiers can be assassinated or killed. Militia is weaker than platoon its a tier one land army. Bonuses are the part added to one, so a hero spy would be 2.0.

So, say I choose the spy hero. RangerCado hires me to go trash Grek's buildings, so I send the hero off with a spy cell to his capital. Once there, I find that he's a tad bit paranoid and has two spy cabals for counter-espionage duties. He kills off my spies through overwhelming numbers, and then ... my hero just laughs as the other spies just repeatedly try to kill him off? Or does he get 'wounded' and need to rest for a while before returning to active duty?

Also, I think there's a typo on the militia-platoon strengths if platoons are supposed to be stronger. Currently they're just more expensive.

Sorry, platoon should have been 100. I would say that if he gets caught he can no longer spy in that country since he will be recognized now. Or something.

I am changing the races around a bit and adding new ones, but keeping the same themes per race. I am making a table to make it all more organized that will be posted on the races page on the site. I may spoiler tag the table here as well.

[MoLAoS]

This forum won't accept <> or w/e so here is a link to an in progress table on the site that does the calculations. Its currently done manually but at some point I may hook it up to the database.
