We're rollin'! Gamefile to follow. READ THESE FOLLOWING RULES! No whining about missing out on that second hero, 'cause here they are one last time: Round A Rules Reminders! Last Updated 30-September-97 by Bob Heeter Read this message carefully - it contains a lot of essential information! *** Critical Scenario and Rules Changes from the Practice Round *** * Starting Gold: 4200/side * Razing: On Capture only * Round A games will last for 20 turns! * New Gold Rules: The gold limit for Strongholds is now 2500. All the gold is now in strongholds; revert until you get less than 2500. We recommend reverting to get between 2400 and 2500. (The odds of getting between 2400 and 2500 are about 10%, so this takes less reverting than trying to get near 3600!) * Special Builds: The center cities all build griffins! Sack 'em for cash - or build 'em! Note - griffins defending neutral cities are strength 8 (6+2). The neutral cities are set to "active" in the tournament. * New Rule: Two Heroes! You are allowed (and expected!) to revert and get a second hero on Turn 2. *** If you want a second hero, it MUST come ONLY on Turn 2. *** The second hero can come with *any* ally you choose in *any* city you control. You may not replace any dead heroes until *both* heroes are dead. Then the regular hero-replacement rules apply. (Note that once you lose a hero you cannot have more than one hero on the map.) Ask your Moderator or Headquarters for details. The starting gold has been increased to allow the purchase of the second hero. You must report the cost of the second hero and he/she must cost at least 1000 gold. * New Rule: Limited Allies with Replacement Heroes: After Turn 2, all replacement heroes may only come with wizards, ghosts, elementals, or worms. Archons, Demons, Dragons, and Devils are not allowed with replacement heroes - you can only get them from ruins or with your Turn 2 second hero. Warlord, use thy allies wisely! :) * Holidays: The U.S. Thanksgiving Weekend in late November and the midwinter holidays (from December 20 to January 7) will be official "Tournament Holidays". Time limits will not be enforced during those periods, and players do not need to worry about using up vacation time then, although we hope the games will all continue! We expect some games to finish before Christmas, and the rest in January and February. Round B will begin in mid-January after the winter holidays end! More timeouts will be supplied to all Round A players when Round B begins. *** Prizes for Round A *** The four Warlords who write the most entertaining game history will each receive a prize from SSG. The one Warlord who writes the best individual roleplay will also receive a prize from SSG. The awarding of both prizes will be determined after the round ends by a team of moderators (who will exclude themselves from recieving prizes). ---------- Hero ally clarification: Hero comes with one (1) single ally. -z _______________________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Blammo!

Sounds good! > my troops will not attack your cities or your troops > your troops will not attack my cities or troops YES! > all neutral cities go to whoever claims them in battle > all ruins and strongholds go to the hero who arrives first AGREE! Good conditions, I'm agree. Just few small questions. 1)Is it permanent (during all this round) truce or temorary? How many turns it will be continues? (For examle, hypotetical situation: there are no more Blue&Orange, only you and me, what would we do in this case? :) 2)Could we breake this alliance or not? Certainly, I hope, that NOT. Probably, this is not correct question. Everyman is doing that he wants, but he must remember, that the great shame and disgrace will lies on the damned traitor. 3)I think, we could make a prolonged alliance, which will prolong or breake after some turnrounds. I suppose 10 turns is apropriate time limits. Between my 10 and you 11 turn (note: I give you some advantage) we must decide will our peace and frienship continued or not. Of course, we could agree a permanent alliance, that can be broken at any time, but only with our mutual confirmations. As you wish, milord. All variants possible for me. May be you have any ideas? One my unit moving near your southern city. Don't worry. I will not attack you fortress or armies and remove it ASAP, I promise. > Together we shall crush the eastern DOGS!!!!!!!!

I intent to offer you some useful item(+2 bat from Blue Hero :) in exchange of your griffin death. But I made some mistake: I forgot, that hero with flying unit always fighting first. Too bad. We couldn't do something with him. But he probably afraid and didn't bless Trebor Melas during 6 turn. It was enough stisfaction for me :) I think, in the future, all negotiations to coordinate our actions we must send after enemies moving. I.e. if you intend to attack PowerJeff and you want to offer some deal to me, please, send your proposal after PJ turn. Ok? >From my side, I'll be doing so, sending my offeres after Alex's turn, to prevent Trebor-PowerJeff interaction. To PoweJeff - ****************************************************************** Be brave warlord, don't surrender! You still have a good armies and chances. Just one comment: it looks that Trebor intend to search some ruins in your bagel. Did you see? Whether you alliance already broken? To my dear enemy, Trebor Melas - ****************************************************************** You didn't bless Hero Trebor Melass? Why?!? :) Whether you afraid me, Mighty Warrior?

Great celebration occures in CNN Office. Green folks celebrated Glorious Victory of their Northern brothers. Sadko visited CNN thronehall and reseived official Sir Uriah's blessing.

He even think, that some of Trebor's item would be good price for our participation in your assault of Dublin (Or, vice versa, for your participation in our assault). It require to be discussed. Please, wrote me a little about your plans. To PowerJeff - Below is my reply to Trebor's letter (you may take it as some kind of humor): > yes my hero is going after two wizards you missed.. i need some leadership > in my armies especially flying one.. :) PowerJeff - Of course we are not allies at all, but, in true speaking, I must to say, that Trebor... this Trebor, khe-khe... This Trebor is so wise and clever, so good strategist, that no one from us. He even decide to steal some your allies... Do not disturb him. Give him all that he wants for his valuable help. Don't worry, he is a real friend of you, PJ: such useful advisements that you MUST to do, so cordial condolences... You are only forgot to thanks him.

Dear Trebor, I know that you are the greatest strategist from the game but let me tell you that you don't have to command MY armies. If want I want to sacrify my armies in order to pay less upkeep, it's my problem !!! And I would be happy too that your hero doesn't approach so near from my cities. I know that I can do nothing against him but my spiders and wolfriders are between dark shadow and your hero. They cannot kill him but they can make him less strong. And if I look the middle of the map, I ask me which of us needs to be commanded !! If you want to make common attacks , say it, but please, DON'T COMMAND ME !!
