[Abandoned] War of Wizards

[natty dread]

Doesn't anyone have input on the gameplay?

I'm thinking I could increase the maximum region bonus to +6 instead of +5...

Ok I guess if no one has any input on this, I'll just make it so and worry about it later.

Also, I guess there should be more of those forests?

Added a few more forests. Enough, too much?

SO if I am reading this right, the only way to kill a wizard is to go through the Temple of Fury correct?

[natty dread]

Yes.

In a nutshell, it goes like this:

You conquer some land, get some spells, and when you get the final 5th spell you'll start getting a +10 autodeploy on the 5th spell. The 5th spell can only bombard ToF though, so those troops can only be used to wear down the killer neutrals on ToF. You can also assault ToF directly, but then you'll have to waste your other troops, ones you don't get as easily. After bombarding down the neutrals on ToF, you still have to conquer it by land, before you can use it to kill the wizards of other players.

See, it's not complicated at all

You conquer some land, get some spells

Hi Natty

If it is meant that each player starts from a tower, then it seemed for me not to balance, some has a big advantage of their "ligth bonus" are rigth in fromt of them, while others are far to be able to assemble something.

example: Azael tower are one step from two territories that hold "gold" "hexagram" while Tamar tower have some longer way to anything. Oloch tower, two step and he can combine two ligth bonuses (btw whats the dash in Oloch tower name ?)

Just some thoughts around the gameplay.

Which do you think are at disadvantage and why? Have you counted the amount of territories each wizard has to take to get the same bonus?

Yes, why I made an examble.

"example: Azael tower are one step from two territories that hold "gold" and "hexagram" while Tamar tower have some longer way to anything at all. Oloch tower, two step and he can combine two ligth bonuses"

For me It just dont look equal, I just think that if all should start from each corner, then should all have the same starting condiction. but maby its a minor thing

example: Azael tower are one step from two territories that hold "gold" and "hexagram" while Tamar tower have some longer way to anything at all.

Everyone is two steps away from a mana source. Tamar does have fewer bonuses though, I can swap the gold and shrine in S2/HE7 to give him a better access.

Oloch tower, two step and he can combine two ligth bonuses"

Oloch is a dark wizard.

For me It just dont look equal, I just think that if all should start from each corner, then should all have the same starting condiction.

If everyone has the exact same starting conditions, it makes for boring games. The whole point is that you have to adapt your strategy according to where you start.

About the boring thing I can understand, I dont like games that can be won after 2-3 rounds, but that can also be of an resoult of unbalance gamaplay, it was the reason of my consern.
I can also see that no one gets "to easy" to anything on your map so it would probably not be a headline.

Swapped the gold & shrine to give Tamar some bonus action

I apologize for my lack of words. Anywho, your bonuses and such seem good, the main issues gameplay-wise are going to be placement and neutrals. Let me study up a bit and get back to you.
