High Fantasy Conquest: Game Two Part Two
« on: September 04, 2013, 11:45:18 pm »

I am resuming the second game of High Fantasy conquest, which abruptly ended nearly a year ago. I made this new thread to get everybody back up to speed with the goings on and re-familiarize everyone with the current state of the game world so that you all don't have to trawl through thirty pages of forum posts. I know getting back into the game might be kind of rough due to things being very complicated when I stopped updating -- it took me multiple hours to update the map and do all of the calculations for everybody near the end, and even then I made numerous errors. This was in fact the main reason I gave up running the game. However, I think we'll get back into the swing of things soon enough. Below I'll repost the rules (in more readable format than previous threads), as well as the story of the game up to this point so you guys don't have to switch back between this thread and the previous one (unless you want to know the exact number of dolphin fins in the Kobold stockpile at turn 31 or something).

Deep within the Mountainhomes, a new King arises.

His ascension is as bloody as it is swift. A crazed, ascetic denizen of the deep caverns, he is driven to power and glory by the voices in his head, the Voice of the Immortal God of the Dwarves. He gathers a band of zealots who believe him to be touched by the Spirit world, and in secrecy he strikes at the royal house of the Dwaven nation, slaying the royal family and all their guards and attendants.

His tongue is as blessed as his axe. Instead of beginning a protracted civil war, he speaks to the clansmen, and to the dwarves of the Mountainhome. None who hear him can doubt the truth of his words. Axes and swords are pledged to his service without hesitation; his Word spreads, and soon even distant barons and dukes swear fealty to the new King. The Ascetic King, who eschews the glamor of the royal palace, sleeping where he falls after long days managing his kingdom. The Monastic King, who spends hours in prayer and contemplation, wandering the caverns he was born.

The Immortal Monk, they call him, and he has one call for his people.

"Strike the Earth!"

For halflings and luck, I have an idea; all the events with a 1/6 chance of something bad happening? Make it a 1/36. Also, the ent artifact either doesn't help them as much, or is far more effective for them compared to the other races, depending on when you multiply.

I think you should keep humans, and maybe just add orks? Eh, I don't know. Making them unique would kinda take away the point of being human, I suppose.

If you add Orks, it'd be interesting of they had a few different structures, each one of which could only be placed on a certain tile type, meaning they'd need to diversify.

For Human towns, maybe make it need 2 food to operate?

i think humans can safely be ditched even without adding a new race. halflings fill the basic role of plainsfolk pretty well, so boring humans seem superfluous.

This video is great.

Incidentally, do I have to use a pop to demolish a structure, or can I just use the pop to build a different structure on that tile instead?

I don't think you know what great means. And you can just use one pop to build the new structure and it will replace the old one, sure.
