Need Testers For Duel Game (Centauria Map)
#1
Hear Ye, Hear Ye !!

Testers needed for a new game format called Duel where two players go head-to-head on a smaller sized map (Centauria). Ry Vor has given me some leeway to get this developed so there may be some changes along the way when he has a chance to carefully review all of this later on.

The Centauria map is smaller in scale and water areas are off limits. This map will be used for the upcoming Solo games but that variant may not be available until May 2016. Need testers now to try out the new map's mechanics regarding the website changes and a few other things to ensure a smooth transition later on.

The test games will only be a sample of 10 or so turns and consists of all the rules and functionality of The Choosing except for no seapower and high council. Atlantians and Pirates are omitted from play.

The map is divided into two regions: Westania (region 1) and Ezerbrite (region 2). Winter hits region 1, summer region 2. Turn 0 is the norm of mid-summer. Fire of the Void exists at area EJ to recruit Phoenix brigades or if you wish to destroy a relic just for the heck of it.

Choose from the following kingdoms (which are restricted by region so they always start on their side of the map):

     Westania choices:          Ezerbrite choices:
       Amazons                       Ancient Ones
       Black Dragon                 Cimmerians
       Druid                            Dark Elves
       Elves                            Demon Princes
       Gnome                          Dwarves
       Halfling                         Illusionist
       Nomad                          Lizard Men
       Ranger                          Necromancer
       Sacred Order                  Red Dragon
       Sorcerer                        Tyrant
       Warlock                         Underworld

Victory is only possible with the new Conquerer victory condition (order# 999) where a kingdom must control all regions in the game to win.

So if you ever wondered what it would be like if the Black Dragon and Red Dragon fought each other to rule the land, sign up and find out! Or if the Elves and Dark Elves can finally decide who's the superior pointy-eared being! Or try out the tradition Good vs Evil battle of the Sacred Order vs Tyrant. Or wizard supremacy of Sorcerer vs Necromancer. All kinds of fun combinations are possible!

The Duel format will pit you against the best so let's have a decent test and get this game format approved!

Sign up by specifying your kingdom preference or if two players want to tango, what two players will be in a game. Only looking to test each kingdom once to verify proper regional placement and such so when a kingdom is chosen, it's off the board and you'll need to choose another.

Since Ry Vor has yet to try out this new format, one game is reserved for him (if anyone wishes to challenge him) but the other 10 test games are open. Since this is a smaller map, the default turn frequency is M-W-F so don't sign up if you can't handle the pressure Smile

I would play the Black Dragon against the Red Dragon. I have a pretty good idea of how that would go. Smile

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

I would like to challenge Imperial_Tark to a head-to-head showdown, as long as he is prepared to face imminent defeat Smile

Ahh, what?

Uncle Mike might now be Crazy Uncle Mike. 

I hope he's ready to set up these games (and he can) because this was not on my agenda, and my Centauria map was just a demonstration. 

That sounds bitchy I guess.  Let's rap: bitchy, bitchy, bitchy.  I mean it's bitchy. 

Anyway, this is Mike's thing.  I have other agenda items.  And we do wish we get more current players to introduce new players to Alamaze.  Imperial Tark has been leading in that category lately.  If everyone could introduce one friend to Alamaze: what a wonderful world it would be.

All that said, I would take the Dwarves against a Western foe.

This is a 12 turn game to control both regions?  Or 18 turns?

And is it $500 for the game?  Or is it (what???) free? 
OK, until  my birthday, April 16.  I will then have come of age. I hear it is free startups and no service level spot until then. For a max 18 turn game and nothing in Valhalla.

And all thanks to Uncle Mike.
