Another warlord game?

[Windstar]

Hi all. I am proposing a new warlords game. In this episode, each player controls 3 kingdoms. The one thing is: This game is violent, and adversaries may butt heads on turn one. However, it is fun and always new.

As for the particulars, that would be up to davekuyk, I believe, who is the master at this kind of game.

Thanks, but I wouldn't say that.

Would you be willing to set up a wardlord game?

[davekuyk]

If we have the interest - sure I'll help get it setup.

There you go! Just two more intrepid souls needed to start this grand adventure!

Can I join?

Am I still regarded as a newbie?))
By the way, what's necessary to remove newbie icon from name? Complete at least one game? Though I did survive in a game until end and in late 30s turns in another.

One concept of the game mechanics left for me to figure out is, at three games Cimmeria, Free Traders and Illusionist took all of my towns (except capitals of course) in a single turn. I guess they made preparations in multiple turns. used cloak of disguise and handed over to other emissaries for relocations; and perhaps additionally used wizard teleport figure spells. Though I had watch towers in many towns still not noticed their emissaries.
Assuming possibility for spells conceal emissary, lately I am adding Black Totem in my new games customizations so to check for any potential invisible figures not only pop.centers

Of course, you can join! I don't know the criteria for the newbie icon. You get extra gold at the start, so enjoy it while you have it!

As for taking over multiple PCs in a single turn, you are on the right track. The Conceal Emissary spell will hide emissaries moving in from even watch towers; you would need a level 10 agent to detect it. I don't recommend the Black Totem - the range is limited, and invisible emissaries are uncommon. An alternative would be to track your neighbors' regional reactions. That will often give you more lead time in the case of a political attack.

Pretty sure you keep the newbie icon and resulting extra gold until you podium in a game (top 3 spots).

I am very tempted to do this again. The last few times it didnt go well when people dropped. to me maybe the most fun when using 3 kingdoms together from an overall perspective. I be the 5th player to get this going
