New Anonymous Game

Anything the results in more diplomacy would be good!

Note that diplomacy doesn't just mean treaties but also calling for war and other such intrigues.

Way back when we considered making royal marriages a thing, and kind of like a treaty with a mutual protection act and mutual declaration of war. 

My earlier point on this thread is say you start in a small region, where a couple other kingdoms will still have a PC, so you might generate half the economy of a big region.  Do you really want to have NAP's with everyone?  Do they want to have NAP's with you?  You might look juicy for region #2 on their agenda.  You might need a little expansion.  If you have a big region, you might sweat a bit about controlling it and then holding it.  Will you be able to get Tight Control (80%) and those benefits?  How much do you need to concede to those flies on your borders?

Just the new map should be a lot of fun.  Then the new rules, the economic changes with all the PC Improvements, the couple political changes like Rulership separate from Influence and Enamoring and Denigrating being public knowledge, the covert changes that could really change that aspect, the adjustment to spell lists and power limits, a few new traits, other stuff like a couple new kingdoms.  Should really provide a reset.  A fresh beginning.

Ok, I'm done with the changes for this enhancement. Netstrider (or someone else), create a new game in the queue with Draft F (Draft-By-Region). Must be a 10-player Steel game though.

When you join the game, you will only be able to select one kingdom per region. The draft dialog will automatically deduct the other kingdom in the region (e.g., if you choose the Elves, it will automatically remove Druid) so you shouldn't make a mistake in that regard. If you change your mind about your draft choices, press Cancel.

This draft will randomize the order that players will be chosen but will preserve the player's choices for their kingdoms/regions so the order that you select your kingdoms/regions is important.

To pick up the new code, go to the Game Queue site and hold down Shift key while pressing your browser's refresh button. You may have to clear your browser cache (under settings).

It's up! Hopefully I got all the settings right.

I don't think it is set up correctly. 10 kingdoms are gone and it asks you to select one kingdom and then gives that to you. And I thought you were hoping for random cities.

[IMPERIAL_TARK]

I wasn't interested in random cities. Not sure which setting is off.

Three are signed up with 10 kingdoms chosen. When I try to join, it only lets me pick from like 6 kingdoms and then just lets me choose only one. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

Seemed to work well when I would select a kingdom then check the right side pull down and see the kingdom I selected.  Then go to my next kingdom and I could see it had removed the other kingdom from the region I had selected before. Do this after each pick and it should go smoothLy, at least it did for me.

Hope that make some since and helps

You need to hold down the Shift key while pressing the browser refresh button on the Game Queue page. Then you'll be ok. Depending upon certain things, you may have to clear your browser cache (under browser settings). If you are using a tablet, you'll have to clear the browser cache (follow the instructions at the end of this posting: http://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/showt...9#pid32189).

On the Game Queue, when you click on the Join button, you should see something like the attachment to this post. If not then you don't have the latest code version and you will need to clear the browser cache.

All worked fine for me! Thanks for the fix, UM.

That worked. Thanks, UM.
