Warmakers campaign, On Hold...

Quick Answer: This sounds great!

I'm very glad you've made this decision. I think it will make the campaign more story based and more interesting, particularly with several different battles going on at once. Things could get quite complicated [in a nice way].

I'll definitely try to give you guys a hand, but I think the goals you had for each race were pretty good at one stage.

This system is much better, and makes fluff writing a lot easier . The only problem that may be encountered is that some races have more representatives than others, which may unbalance things. I know the guys at Warmakers are putting in place plans to circumvent this problem, however, it may still raise its ugly head like it did in the Animosity campaign.

Perilous Roads
Hi there. As you might know Warmakers is running in “stealth” mode during the summer, i.e. not very fast. But we are still doing things, and we thought we would take the time to inform and invite you to one of those things. Warmakers is getting a pretty good first idea of how everything will fall into place with factions and mechanics and all, and so we are preparing for a large scale test-run of the system to make sure things actually work. This test run has been dubbed Perilous Roads and is in essence a mini-campaign that takes place in the World Edge Mountains as the Empire Dwarfs Orks and many other armies tries to pass into the Dark Lands.

This mini-campaign will not be played out in the sense of players playing battles and reporting the result, while we might do such a full test later we will for now just approximate things to be able to check things a bit faster. As such, each player involved in Perilous Roads represents one race, and gets a number of wins each turn to place in the open battles, to represent the players of that race posting wins. There will be a number of battles open, and a large number of players involved, since the main thing we want to test is the system for races and goals, and for that we need to see how it will work with multiple races at once.

So where do you come in? Well first of all we just wanted to inform the participant forums that we are doing this. Secondly, we also invite you to take part if you want to, we can always use more players for it. Participating in Perilous Roads will not take much of your time, since its basically just looking at the map and the stats, then deciding where you place the number of wins allotted to you. The only thing that may take some time is plotting with the other players and trying to ally/deceive them into helping you.

So if you are interested in viewing or participating in this test, go HERE.

I might take part in your jolly campain but can I have more info?

The main idea is being changed very much right now actually and we're basically starting from scratch.. You can always look at our site, though there's a council working on things now..


(I've also sent a PM to khrangar that he could unsticky these warmakers topics, hint, hint )

Topic unpinned as requested.

Duckass - Let us know how things are going with the revised campaign as things progress.

I'll do whenever I get told to post something here
