Anyone played any good games with unusual settings recently?

Mac

try setting sancation cards to negative percentages and playing a practise game and see what happens..

ive done it at -100% a few times it really changed things

hmm that would work a bit like a reienforcement card except + a pecentage of what your income is

There's a tournament going on with the tictactoe map, with all bonuses set to -2.
The idea is to use gift cards until your opponent is down to 0 armies. I've played a few fun games with it so far.

Haha.
Just saw you are the host of that tournament, nevermind my previous post then :P

@Ognian haha! thats exactly the type of game im after. i fancy getting a new tournie started with unsuall settings

Just for completeness' sake:
A similar effect can be obtained by using the third variation of reinforcement cards: "Progressive: Give armies based on how many territories are owned by players.". Of course the number of territories owned and the number of reinforcements received is not exactly a linear relation, but it should be close-ish to linear, so with proper multipliers you'd achieve much the same thing. (Benefit: you can still use normal sanction cards in your game.)

try world map with all bonus negative and extra men for every teritory

If you want to help me try out some unusual settings:

(I was gonna use the Africa map but I thought that was too much :P)

I like playing world map and Roman map with preassigned teams and/or territories

not unusual most of the time u see that on open games

I like the Bastions tournament made by emgzapper:
here is a game: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?GameID=1979519

we play 'assassins' which is really fun, but can only work with group of people that can be trusted. 6-8 players.
each player has to eliminate one other person, first one who's target dies, wins.
You need a neutral person who gives each player their secret target.

settings can vary, such as light fog, gift card (really fun to keep somebody alive), ...

@{RP} General Mac could you give me one of those game settings to the game that Ognian was talking about as that i think it would be very interesting to play
much appreciated in advance

wow! some really good ideas here.

"try world map with all bonus negative and extra men for every teritory"

this one makes my head hurt Iron !!! but could be interesting :D

My favourate has to be "Assassins" that looks fun. any time you feel like inviting me to one of them i would be happy to play

heres the link to the tournament

Chaos, what maps and number of players do you recommend? Also, what do you do about unusual surrenders or booting? Say the guy with the highest income surrenders or gets booted, does the guy targeting him win even if he was losing badly?

I honestly really liked the very powerful cards settings, but I was blacklisted by Big E, the creator, for booting him after he refused to take his move, so I unfortunately can't join any of those any more. If another member would create, I'd be happy with an invite or at least a mention of when it will be created. A tournament is possible, but consider that it requires a lot of players, and a few months per game.

Very powerful cards settings is just as it is, the cards are made very powerful. They just require a high amount of pieces. For example, spy card in 15 pieces to view a player through the fog for 50 turns. Or reinforcements cards in 40 pieces to gain 400 troops. Or sanctions in 50 pieces to grant -100% income to one player for 20 turns. Quite the killers. I didn't like the 10000% abandon one, though. I forgot the specifics for the diplomacy card.

It wasn't too unusual in that it was merely a 20 FFA without cards for quite a while, but the fact that everyone works towards getting those cards and unleashing them on the most powerful players was quite fun for me (especially since I won).

I recently played a game on Middle Earth with no bonuses at all. That was verrrry slow going. There were extra armies for territories, but they weren't set high enough to really make a difference. In the end, I think I only "won" because the other guy got bored and surrendered.

We have an Assassins game ongoing atm:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?GameID=2155087

first time we try with light fog. I think normal fog + spy card every 5 turns is even better, but we'll see.

I recommend at least 6-7 players. with less you quickly know who's after who.

People should not surrender, ever. (put settings on surrender has to be accepted by all) That's one of the reasons you need to play with friends or people you trust.
The gift card can swing the game around, the weakest will receive a big stack to stay alive.

as for maps, it's up to you, but for 6-8 players, you want at least 250+ territories, although it might be fun on a small map too (but we never tried that)
Look forward to !! [Battle Island II](http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx?PreviewMap=10795) !! this will be great to play Assassins on.

@{rp} General Mac: I added you to my invite list :-)

Assasins?

That's the good ol' Hunt variant! :D

(Though in Hunt, you don't win immediately when you get your target; you just get a point and "inherit" his prey. The winner in person with most points at the end of game (even if they're not the last one standing).)

Aren't values of progressive cards determined when you *get* them, not when you *use* them? This makes them kind of suck. :)
