[MoF] eUK Game of Thrones - Turn 4 (Delayed)
Sir Humphrey Appleby
Finally we see a bit of expansion! Sorry to bitterly disappoint however...
So we finally overlord another region other than our homeland, most of us now setting up an occupational force to properly establish control before we can build or recruit in the conquered territory.
Now whilst most of us may've greedily been plotting to nab another bit of land riht away, ApronChef has been going over the game setup and decided instead of runnin' the risk of having to make a major change halfway through the turn (again) to avoid a potentially game-changing cockup, it'd be best to properly go over the current mechanics and make them airtight for the modules coming up (mainly technology buildings, units, trades and buffs). Plus Redcoats!
We have already largely decided on a simplified military system, just a case of getting it in sync with everything before we can go ahead with it.
Statement from the gdoc master himself
"The game will not be available on Sunday, the GDoc is already blocked. I am going to redesign the layout as much as I can so things are easier to understand and are all flowing and linked together. If I am unable to complete everything on Sunday I will still start Turn 4 on Monday, regardless. There will be minor fixes if I encounter any problems, all of these fixes will be identified in the update log. (If you have any questions direct them to myself about this small break in gameplay.)"
I know a few of you have been eagerly waiting for us to get on with processing turn 3 and publishing turn 4 so I apologize. Should hopefully have some shiny new modules ready for action with further improvements on Monday.
Regards,
Appleby

Just to check are you saying not to give instructions for turn 4 and to wait til later, or that we can give instructions but thst turn 5 wont be for a while?
Don't give instructions yet. I am sure all of you will agree the redesign is worth the wait when you see it.
I think you left a few attacks off the map guys? Or did they fail?
Yeah, my (CA) attack on DG3 for example??
They are still fighting local forces, the ones on the map show ones that have killed all the local forces.
the way I see it, it will take 2-3 months to see who will be the winner. 😕
Which is why we're simplifying a lot of the modules to make it flow faster.
Build troops (1), attack with troops possibly for 2 turns (2), take over region (3) seems a little long to win a region and build more troops (4). That's ~4 turns which is over a week.
I suggest having ALL battles take 1 turn and no take over region time, this is what people intuitively assumed would happen and won't conflict with any moves made.
So today I would finish off the remaining battles and open up captured regions for building during T4.
For example, everyone is asking why their battles are not finished, so the battles should be finished make it so!
We have already converted the war mechanic into simplified units and combat. Just trying to configure the rest of the game accordingly so buildings/techs make sense.
People will be given a full refund of their army which they can spend immediately for replacements on this turn when it's opened.
Again we apologize for delaying the turn but we thought this wold be the preferable option compared to having to change the modules halfway through a proper war campaign.
What about captured regions under the old system?
Region's people have successfully invaded will be given to them, don't worry.
I'll explain the new system when we publish the turn.
I definitely had much more troops and attacked FK1 and 2....
You didn't recruit any units. I remember you asking to recruit 50 soldiers and 50 archers. I explained that you cannot support 100 units and you didn't offer a correction before the turn ended.
I did mean 5 and 5, I only realised what you meant today. On turn 3 I also asked for more units but I did not receive them either and I didn't receive the FKs which I asked for.
I will look into this.
I just realised that you guys expanded Wigan to take over Bolton and Manchester, thanks lol.
How come I haven't attacked WF from HD like I posted?
WF was already under attack.
Have all attacks been actioned on the map?
Yes, but we have only just discovered that battles can take more than one turn because the game mechanics weren't intuitive.
If only we had a guy with a BSc(Hons) in Games Design 🙂
Oh wait that is me 😛
Did you read the doc? There was even an example there with a 2 turn battle...
ow im sorry to hear that una nancy
oh I heard the game master is cheat
Got q7 tanks with laser modules???
I had a strange feeling my attack wouldn't complete or something, let's hope you didn't forget my turn altogether again!
Whatever you do, this game will still probably last a few months, even with a clan win.
Oddly enough, your turn has been entered twice.
I'd like to drop out of the game and donate my stuff to Ad and House Wessex. I simply can't keep up with dis stoof 🙁
The updates will simplify everything. I hope you will reconsider when you see the changes. If you still do not wish to play I will dissolve your player after you've seen the changes.
Ah, I'll wait until after then then...
Cheers AC o/
phew, just spotted this shortly-expiring article & thought I'd missed the turn
Yeah, just having a tidying up.
Continue attacking GL
recruit 5 t1 soldiers and 2 t1 archers
