War of the Ring testgame 4-6 players.

[Grymme]

Hi

I am looking for playtesters for a War of the Ring test game.

4-6 players. I will be one of them. Turnaroundtime 24h.

Playable factions are

Gondor
Lorien
Rohan
Mordor
Saruman
Orks of Moria/the misty Mountains.

The players playing Góndor and Mordor should have at least some experience of the game. Others can be newbies.

Here is a threat around the mod.

I could be interested by Rohan.
I don't have a lot of time!
Does a turn take a lot of time? How many units approximatively?
And how many turns for this test?

Hi,
I would be interested to play a LotR testgame for any faction.
However I am mostly available during the weekend (so I could do more turns then) and am sometimes away 2-3 days with no access (although I would try to send a turn as fast as possible). If that might also be possible please let me know.
Best Regards,
Nicolas

A turn shouldnt take a lot of time. Rohan has 5 cities with around 24k production. Max 45 minutes). It is however important that you can send in turns regularly. Dont know how many units. You can download and check for yourself, but i think production supports more units than is placed at the start of the scenario.
 
The scenario doesnt have any particular ending. We play untill one side loses or gives up. Typically the PBEMs ive been involved with have lasted between 15-30 turns.
 
Ill put you up for now.
 
Gondor -
Rohan - Romninet
Lorien -
Mordor -
Orthanc -
Orks of Moria -
 
Lunaticus has signed up for any faction (so far).
 
IMPORTANT NOTICE. I uploaded a fix to scenariobank. So version played should be 84.
 
 

[Grymme]

Lunaticus. I answered you on email

[Lunaticus_matrixforum]

I would take Isengaard then...

[Grymme]

So far we have 3 players (incl me) so we are looking for 3 more. Ill play the last one left.

Gondor -
Rohan - Romninet
Lorien -
Mordor -
Isengaard - Lunaticus
Orks of Moria -

[rominet]

Where can i load this scenario?
I had a look on the subsection for this mod but i didn't see any thread.
Thanks!!

[Grymme]

In the scenariobank, as with all other scenarios. But its located in the sandbox section. Called "War of the rings" i think.

Typhoon has showed some interest. Sent PM to him asking which faction he most would like to play.

[Grymme]

Typhoon marked down for Lorien.
 
Probably scared away people from Mordor/Gondor by saying they should have some experience. Its just that they are 3 times as big as the others so what they do makes some difference. Doesnt mean they have to be really good.
 
So far we have
 
Isengaard - Lunaticus
Mordor - OPEN
Orcs of the Misty Mountains - OPEN
Gondor - OPEN
Lorien - Typhoon
Rohan - Rominet
 
Also i am working a little on the scenario. Making events that players can give supply & PP help to eachother. Will probably upload this version when we have 6 players.
 
 

[Grymme]

Bombur has showed some interest in the game. That leaves ONE spot open. Then we are ready to go. Most likely Gondor or Mordor...
 
Isengaard - Lunaticus
Mordor - OPEN
Orcs of the Misty Mountains - OPEN
Gondor - OPEN
Lorien - Typhoon
Rohan - Rominet
 
Someone interested in fighting for the control of Middlem earth....

[hatemf90]

pff, i never see this games soon enough, anyway if there still a place count me in

[Grymme]

Sure there is. Then the game is full.
 
I will play the Orcs of the Misty Mountains.
 
So would you like to play Gondor or Mordor? Bombur will play the other one. As soon as i have the names confirmed i will upload the final scenariofile and set the game of.
 
We have in play order
 
Isengaard - Lunaticus
Mordor - Bombur or Hatemf90
Gondor - Hatemf90 pr Bombur
Rohan - Rominet
Lorien - Typhoon
Orcs of the Misty Mountains - Grymme
 
The scenarioversion played. That everybody should download will be v90. It will be uploaded in 5 minutes.
 
 
 

[Grymme]

I should say that Gondor and Mordor are pretty evenly matched in production (Mordor has a little more). Gondor has 83k production. Mordor has 90k production. All other sides have 24k production. (Events can add 10k for Mordor and 15k for Lorien).
 
I made this to conserve some playbalance. So people should not expect that Mordor should seem totally invincible.

@Grymme: As I will start the game: what setting would you recommend for FoW and shroud?
Also for a testgame I would recommend to use passwords but no PBMcheat or terror mod, ok?

[Mrtyphoon]

Well from deep with in the forest of Lorien Good Luck is wished to all except perhaps Saruman and Mordor.

[Grymme]

Hi
 
Fog of War on, shroud of and (important) screenshots on), Passwords but not cheat or terror.
 
Sounds good. Ill just upload the scenario

[Grymme]

Uploaded the version we will play. Everybody should make sure that they have v90 installed.

The order of turn is

Isengaard - Lunaticus
Mordor - Bombur or Hatemf90
Gondor - Hatemf90 pr Bombur
Rohan - Rominet
Lorien - Typhoon
Orcs of the Misty Mountains - Grymme

So Lunaticus can start the game of if he wants. Then he just have to wait to see who he should send the savegame to. I might start an common AAR on this one. Unless someone wants to make their own.

[Grymme]

Hatemf90 chose to play Mordor so now we should be of with the following set up. Everybody should PM their emailadress to the person who will play before them.
 
Isengaard - Lunaticus
Mordor - Hatemf90
Gondor - Bombur
Rohan - Rominet
Lorien - Typhoon
Orcs of the Misty Mountains - Grymme
