  1. Carl Sagan's book Murmurs of Earth, about the attempt to communicate with aliens through the voyager plaques, is mind-blowingly fascinating. It's almost impossible to find, though.

  2. Here is the new map: http://rpwiki.calref.co.cc/images/5/5e/Asgfactionmap.bmp

     

    I am going to make up some arbitrary rules that will make my life much easer.

     

    1. I have added in "capitals" of each provice, to be differentiated from minor cities by dot size.

     

    2. A province is considered contested if all cities and a clear majority of the countryside is not under control of one player. Thus, Burwood and the Storm Plains are not contested, despite Acky and Spddid have presences in them, they do not exert much influence. Currently, the only contested province is the Mera-Tev.

     

    3. Armies can only travel along the grey lines between provinces, unless a suitable explanation is otherwise give- ie Sholai travel on boats, Gazers float, vlishes blimp, etc. People can travel anywhere.

     

    4. Purple lines indicate fronts of conflict. There are alot in Mera, since that is where the majority of the conflict is centered. There is none between Drypeak and Storm Plains, because even though there are different factions, they are not fighting.

     

    5. Islands can only be reached by boat. You must build/shape a fleet if you do not already have one. This will give the defender (me or Safey) time to prepare.

     

    That's all. It will make my job much easier.

     

    EDIT:

     

    One more- On the map, the town, not the fortress, is the capital. So it would be Perikalia or Minallah instead of Stormhold or Isenwood's Spire.

    It is a period of civil war.
    The SPIDERWEB MESSAGE BOARDS,
    striking from a hidden base,
    have won their first victory
    against the evil SPAM EMPIRE.


    During the battle, Spiderweb
    spies managed to steal secret
    plans to the spammers
    ultimate weapon, the SPAM STAR,
    an armored spambot with enough
    power to destroy an entire forum.


    Pursued by the Spammer's
    sinister agents, Princess
    DIKIYOBA races home aboard her
    starship, custodian of the
    stolen plans that can save
    her forum and restore
    freedom to the internets....
  4. I always win at risk when there are five or more players. I always lose when there are less. I also always win at Lux touch, because the AI can handle massive armies (100+), unlike humans, which is great for stabilizing the luck aspect of the game, making it pretty much pure tactics.

    Yes. And the utilities, useless as they may seem, have massive revenues. You know the card that says "advance to the nearest utility and pay owner ten times what he is owed"? Well, if he rolled a 12, times 10 for owning both, times 10 for the card, means you earned 1200 dollars on a property that cost you 300, the largest single profit margin in the game.

    Rescind your anti-chess comment immediately, Slarty, or face hordes of angry masters outside your door armed with pitchforks. Chess is far and away the most popular game in history- it's been around over a millenia, with consistent popularity throughout. Might I bring to your attention that 605 million people know how to play chess worldwide, nearly 10% of the world's population? To compare, chess has more players than adding up the players of the the top 10 best-selling games on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii combined and multiplied by 2. It would take one hundred thousand Spiderweb forums with every single registered user active in order to replicate chess' current popularity. So much for "declining market share".
  7. I made the map! I just accidentally had it be like 18000000 gigabytes, so Nioca compressed it for me, and reuploaded it as a new file, making it appear as though he had done the whole thing. Somebody write me up a list of changes and I'll modify the map.
