The Worlds of Kaomaris

- Full duel
- GM Han
- You pick the map

Duke turns around and limps away while laughing insanely

Uhhh, how do you play "WOK: Duel"?

Personally? Not too well...

It's a 2-player game with each player playing 3 different colors. The remaining 4 colors are computer-controlled and follow a strict set of attack/convert/movement rules.

There's no diplomacy ... sheer military tactics.

I'm sure Han will fill you in with much more detail.

Check out the WoK Duel Rules in the menu on the left. That should clear things up.

Yep, MUCH more detail! It's all in "WOK Duel Rules", in the menu top left of here. But Bryk's summary about sums it up.

Duke is a little bit brilliant at Duels. So beware, Eg, you stand very little chance against him in your first Duel ... (Just stoking up the sense of challenge! )

Where did you get 50 pages from?! It's one continuous page, but the Rules of Full Duel, printed out, run to 3 or 4 pages of printout.

Suggestions as to which bits to cut out?

If it's too complex for you, or you're using that as an excuse, feel free to stick to Standard!

Egbert has the extreme big print version.


korexus.

lol! Okay, it looks like everyone has had their fun. I finished reading the rules. It looks very interesting! I guess that's why it has been so popular these past few months. It even has a NAP-checking feature which I think would be great in a Standard WOK game. In Advanced WOK, 2 players can NAP and program the NAP into the game to extremely discourage NAP-breaking. Has anyone thought about doing this in Standard WOK, where 2 players would not be allowed to attack/bomb/spy each other because the computer won't let them.

Okay, Duke --- let's go! How about the Forest Lake map?

Bring it!

Set it up Han

Right, I've set it up. Forest Lake map as Egbert suggested. Full Duel. Remember the AA, BB and CC temporary naps, as per rules, and that there is no headhunting for TWO turns, as per rules.

I think the set-up (only took me 5 tries!) looks even and interesting. But if either of you, looking at it for longer than I, reckons it significantly favours one side, then let me know, and I'll either run a fresh start or use bidding, your choice.

Sp pls lemme know: OK with you, or not fair and even?

Cheers,
GM Han

ok with me

As I sometimes do in poker, I'll play the map without looking at it first. So, let's go!

Does that mean we can double any bets on you?

OK. From my POV, obviously i'd prefer you to take a look at the map and buy into it as fair. In case I missed something. It's a safety net for me. And so that neither will say later that they started with a poor hand, however prepared they were to risk it. That's why I requested that you take a look first?

Never mind. You are off. G'luck to both, and enjoy.

H

He can look at maps all day long. Wont change the fact that he will have lost prior to turn 8.

Han, sometimes its fun to play from the weaker side. I guarantee you that Egbert won't complain about the setup after the game.

But then, as he's about to serve up Duke's rear end on a silver platter, he'd have to no cause to anyway...

That sounds like a bet to me! OK, I accept your bet on Egbert. (TBH, I'd have taken an evens bet on EITHER player, if only to add to the fun and interest ). Let's call it one Sapphire? You just have to code up a way to pay me at the end - I already owe Bjorn a whole Pearl, which he's pressing for, but I can't see how to pay him; and I won and lost a Bar with two folks, too, on that Duke/Bryk Duel.

BTW, that's Sapphire with 2 p's. What is it with you Oxford graduates that you can't spell?! Oh, and, for consistency, you might grant pearl a capital P. You can pay me with an Emerald for this helpful advice
