Grrr

The difference is that in risk the defending team has a better chance of winning a dice roll than the attacking team so there is a good chance of eliminating an attacker. In a 5 v 2 (or whatever) in WL there is no such weighting and so the chance of a defending team eliminating an attacker is very remote. Won't make for a very interesting game if you are just going to be slaughtered. Is there anyway in the settings to at least give the defending team some kind of advantage (more cards maybe)?

@elbee, some AIs ;)

Sounds interesting, I like how you would get 20 base income per turn and it's where and how you use it that the game is all about, quite different from standard games. I have a few questions/comments though:
1- Would multi-attack be on and used like with the board game or would that be too complicated and standard Warlight attacks be used?
2- With the players in the team games, would they be selected by the clanleader or would they be randomly selected?
3- Elbee is right, in the team games it would be too difficult for the defending team to stand a chance or even come close to eliminate attackers (especially if the attacking team chooses custom settings and big maps), that is completely different from the board game. Maybe there should be one or a few team game settings that are more fair and give the defending team a better chance (maybe small, heavy, or medium earth with one start?).
4- Most importantly, how would the kill rates of the team games match the kill rates of the real game? If players control how many armies will die then how will that be used in a Warlight game with Warlight kill rates? Would the game be played off Warlight somehow?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding anything.

1- multi-attack is not allowed in a single attack game and i think it isnt allowed in the main game as well. That will be very complicated.
2- The players will be selected in same order as the list wich can you see in the first post. For example, I will be involved in an attack if there are 13 or more armies on our side. As a clan you have to make a list like that too. And of course, choose smart.
3- Agreed, I dont know if and so, what we are doing about that. I think that we have to see how it works and we can do that only by playing. :P
4- The main game will not be a warlight game indeed. [NL] ARand0mPlayer will make something which he will edit every attack.
I hope that anwers your questions

@kevin#1
Your base income isn't 20, it depends on your number of armies. The 20 is the maximum amount of armies allowed to be on one territory, because the maximum number of players in a warlight game is 40. So you can only have 20 armies per team.
And from reading your post, I wonder if you have ever played the real risk board game. Because there, you have the first player who deploys armies, attacks, and then can replace their armies. Then it is the other players turn. This goes on until you have reached your mission, but it will be to complex to use missions, so here, the goal will be to conquer the world.

I will first not do anything about the defenders bonus and I will see how the game goes. If we think that it is unbalanced, I will think about some way to rebalance it.

Thanks, both of you, that clears things up. I have played the original and know how it works, just realized I misread the part about the initial deployment. Sounds like it will be fun to keep up with, I'd play but I don't think we have 20 players.

Emperor Michael isn't in Vitrix mortalis anymore. So are there any other clans who want to participate, as we don't have an enemy anymore.

This sounds great! I love Dutch people!
I hope there will be 20 T4R members willing to play. If not i hope we can work together with anather clan.

If a clan has a bit less players, the max. army limit will just be a bit lower.

Icelandic Turtles may be teaming up with Warlighters for this but if it is lowered that would be great! (Maybe 15 would be a good number?)

15 is good. How many members do you have togther.
As it would be good if you have a bit more than 15 members then, in case someone gets inactive.

We have enough to field a combined team of 20+ but some of those players arent very good or are semi inactive

I think that you make a good chance if the first 5 players are good, as I don't expect too much very large stacks on small earth.

How soon do we need to let you know by wherer or not we are competing?

We aren't all that good either btw... One of our best players went inactive because his laptop is too old and can't do a lot anymore.

Just send me a PM if you know it. There isn't really a time limit.

I have just made a spreadsheet in which I have drawn a very simple small earth map and a table in which I can note all the orders.

Please post link here or pm it to me or email me so I can view it and send it to Kevin who will lead..... Still working on a roster

Just PM me when the list is ready. I'll wait. I'll invite Kevin and Dobbie to a game, in which we will just talk about it. I'll also soon make a game to distribute the territories.
Could you give me a link to Kevin's profile?
