New Game: Center Island
Now that Forest Lake has started, I've opened up a new Standard WoK game. To encourage agressiveness (and so Hryll can blind us with his multiple attack planning skills) I've doubled the amount of tech produced by workers, everything else is the same though.
Judging by last time, this game will take a while to fill but on the other hand I see more players posting here than there have been for a while...

Lardmaster, Donut and Smashface have all signed up. That leaves us with 2 spots free. I see Han around a lot at the minute and I don't think anone would mind 3 Vulkings, seeing as the clans are pretty much defunct right now. Or am I wrong?
And are there any other takers?

also, not saying i am the best player but a significant amount of names come to mind, but most of which you probably have never played with befpre, like egbert, saladin, calidus, raw, massie, TK although i only played a few games with him. Nick in wok5. to name a few, also those were in no particular order. but hopefully some will be back soon... we'll see

The players you mentioned were great, indeed. I fought all of them at some point. And in the last 3 Standard WoK games I faced Egbert twice and twice took him out all by myself. (Check out WoK Islettes and Water-crossing games to see for yourself, can't remember the GMs right now).
And I'm glad to see you back SF as I remember you as a formidable foe as well.

Dameon and Nick spent most of their time playing WoK V. After making such a big deal about how easy WoK IV was, they couldn't risk losing a game!
I believe trewqh was talking about Standard WoK (WoK 4) players, amoung whom Han is ranked very high, not least because of the refreshing non-sleeping role that he and Val used so successfully.
Egbert is still my all time WoK hero. No matter how good you are, you can't win every game, but that guy was so clinical he had a great chance. Until he started getting angry and attacking people randomly...
Or maybe my WoK hero should be...
...Ecrivian!

Good catch, it shouldn't have started then, but it is just about to.
I have had two applications from logged in players for the final spot, also two from non-logged in and one by Proxy through Validon (so between 2 and 4 too many applicants) With that in mind, I'll kick off this game and set up a new one, unless any GM would prefer to run the next game. Easy to swap over if you do...

Game has started.
Two scholars, two vulkings, one brother and 5 mercs. the players are quite well spread, both scholars are together, but surrounded. The vulkings have a side island each, but are on opposite sides of the map.
Diplomacy will be key in the first few turns...
Let battle commence!

Well, clans are not very lively these days and and we don't require new players to join a clan, but a new player should expect that players listed as clanmates know eachother and will most likely cooperate.
Check out the Clans tab in the Lobby to learn more about clans and maybe join one.
Donut is in the Brotherhood of Vayuna and being the only active BoV member I think he can be treated as the Clan Head of this clan.

Game was set up before the Headhunting suggestion was made (this is part of the reason I haven't set up a new game yet. - I still need to change the engine...) So headhunting is only banned for turn 1. Check the houserules for all details for this game...

"Headhunting with spies is NOT allowed in this game."
Ok, just to be 100% sure. This means that it's not allowed to use sabotage and steal pop with your spies right? So you ARE ALLOWED to simply spy a home province, right?
Thanks for answering this guys!
