Introducing the Champions

In order to give the game a bit more variety, as well as offer a neat prize for winning, this game will be the first to have a contribution from the first winner of my PbP. Every winner will have the opportunity to submit their own special power or race to the game, so play smart.

This game will be a normal game with all expansions.

What the?
Small World is a game of territory domination with an emphasis of strategic thinking over random dice rolls. Each player will be able to select from a number of randomly generated races which combine the race's abilities with a special power to generate combinations ranging between ho-hum and outstandingly powerful. However, you have to decide when to abandon your current race in favor of a new one as the original lacks the power to expand or outlives its usefulness.

How do I join?
People can sign up until 11:59pm EST on Thursday the 26th. After that, I will randomly choose five victims to play for everyone else's viewing entertainment.

Once a round ends, I will update the map, set the current event and reveal the upcoming event.

Guidelines for playing:
The initial race/special power stack will be randomized. There will be tables listing all the race/abilities and dice rolls on invisible castle will determine which one appears next. I'll handle generating the first six. Whenever a player selects a new active race from the stack, it is their responsibility to generate a new race. Discarded powers/races will be put into new stacks with a fixed order in case we run through the random ones.

Players can make their own rolls for final conquests/berserk (roll 1d6, 4,5,6 = 0) and are responsible for reposting the game summary with their additions/alterations. Post how many points you earned for your turn, but keep the total to yourself. At the end of the game, we'll reveal how many points we've earned. There is no way to stop it, but it is against the spirit (and rules) of the game to keep a running total of other players' points.

To keep the game flowing faster, each retreating unit from conquered regions will go to the region with the least defense that does not contain an immunity token like the dragon, hero, or halfling hole. Water regions are considered immune as well. Multiple retreating units will each check for whatever is lowest at the time they are placed.

    Interesting interaction; Underworld makes them adjacent, so then you also get the "attacking an adjacent region from a mountain" bonus from your initial caverns/mountain.

    Yeah, and it's a cavern, so it gets -2.

    Though I admit to double checking my turn three times before posting. Can be a bit confusing.

    It's a promo set, and it's really nothing special. I think you pay a VP to add an extra token that can be captured by opponents. I don't own it, and reviews were lukewarm. Didn't seem like it added enough to be worth incorporating. Perhaps some other PbP.

    Round One of Eight

    TheEveryman has had to drop due to personal issues.

    Void Slayer: I have turned the race and power list into an HTML list, so just delete the selected race and you don't need to worry about changing the numbers. I found this very convenient in game 4, but if its a problem, I'll change it back on my next turn (it will take a bit of effort).

    1. Rorus Raz (Rorus Raz in decline)
    2. Void Slayer (Void Slayer in decline)
    3. SlickShughes (SlickShughes in decline) <---Yer up!
    4. Darian (Darian in decline)
    5. Pinfeldorf (Pinfeldorf in decline)

    Current Combos
    Berserk Goblins: 10 Tokens, 1 VP
    Commando Ghouls: 9 Tokens, 0 VP
    Bivouacking Skeletons: 11 Tokens, 0 VP
    Heroic Gypsies: 11 Tokens, 0 VP
    Merchant Humans: 7 Tokens, 0 VP
    Diplomat Elves: 11 tokens, 0 VP

    Race Summary:
    1. Amazons (6) Use 4 Additional Amazons during conquest.
    2. Dwarves (3) Collect 1 extra coin for each mine, even in decline.
    3. Halflings (6) First conquest may be anywhere. Place a hole-in-the-ground tokens in each of the first two regions conquered. These regions are immune to conquest and/or powers of enemy players.
    4. Orcs (5) Collect 1 extra coin for each occupied region conquered this turn.
    5. Ratmen (8) Have more tokens than other races!
    6. Sorcerors (5) On your turn, you may replace an opponent's single active token adjacent to your territory with a sorceror from the box. You may do this once per turn per opponent.
    7. Tritons (6) Require one less token to conquer coastal regions (this includes regions adjacent to the lake).
    8. Trolls (5) Place a Troll's Lair in each region you occupy. A region with a lair requires one extra token to conquer. These stay even in decline, but are removed if there are no trolls present in the region.
    9. Wizards (5) Collect 1 extra coin for each Magic Source.
    10. Priestesses (4) When going In Decline, take one token from each region you occupy and stack them to form a single "Ivory Tower" in one of the regions you occupy, abandoning all the others. Each turn, score 1 VP for each Priestess token in the Ivory Tower, in lieu of your usual In Decline scoring.
    11. White Ladies (2) Once In Decline, White Ladies are immune to your opponents' conquests and powers.
    12. Bullywugs of Lodwilk (6) Require one less token to conquer regions, but other players require one less token to conquer Bullywugs at any region except swamps.
    13. Fairies of SlickShughes (5) All magic regions are considered adjacent. Whenever you conquer a magic region, place a fairy ring token there. A Fairy Ring Token increases the number of tokens required to conquer it by one. Discard a Fairy Ring token when its region is abandoned, conquered or the fairies go into decline.

    Special Power Summary:
    1. Alchemist (4) Collect 2 exta coins at the end of each turn while active.
    2. Dragon Master (5) Once per turn, you may make a single conquest with just one token. Place or move the Dragon token into that region which makes it immune.

    4. Forest (4) Collect 1 extra coin for each Forest you control.
    5. Fortified (3) Once per turn, place one Fortress in a region you control (max 1 per region, 6 total). Each fortress token generates one extra point if the race is active and regions with fortress tokens require one more token to conquer (even in decline).
    6. Hill (4) Collect 1 bonus coin for each Hill you control.
    7. Mounted (5) Conquer Hills and Farmlands at -1 units.
    8. Pillaging (5) Collect 1 extra coin for each non-empty region conquered this turn.

    11. Stout (4) You may go into Decline after conquering.
    12. Swamp (4) Collect 1 extra coin for each Swamp you control.
    13. Wealthy (4) Collect 7 extra coins at the end of your first turn active.

    15. Hordes Of (5) You may use your 2 "Hordes Of" tokens exactly as if they were additional active race tokens. They disappear when you go into decline.
    16. Ransacking (4) Each time you successfully conquer a Region containing an opponent's active Race, he must immediately pay you 1 VP from his own stash.
    17. Were- (4) On even-numbered turns, conquer all regions at -2 tokens.
    18. Marauding (5) Once your conquests are over (but BEFORE any final conquest attempt using the Reinforcement Die), take your troops back in hand, leaving at least one token per region, and go through another complete cycle of conquests; then do your final conquest attempt, if any.
    19. Peace-Loving (4) Collect 3 bonus VP at the end of each turn during which you have attacked no active Race.

    Well I so wanted those giants, but at least i have doomed us all with diplomat elves. Its actually kind of funny that you could have taken every single underground region this turn with those giants, not a good move but still funny.

    Round One of Eight

    1. Rorus Raz (Rorus Raz in decline) <----You're up!
    2. Void Slayer (Void Slayer in decline)
    3. SlickShughes (SlickShughes in decline)
    4. Darian (Darian in decline)
    5. Pinfeldorf (Pinfeldorf in decline)

    Current Combos
    Heroic Gypsies: 11 Tokens, 0 VP
    Merchant Humans: 7 Tokens, 0 VP
    Diplomat Elves: 11 tokens, 0 VP
    Cursed Orcs: 5 tokens, 0 VP (three VP to skip)
    Hordes of Halflings: 11 Tokens, 0 VP
    Ransacking Dwarves: 7 Tokens, 0 VP

    Race Summary:
    1. Amazons (6) Use 4 Additional Amazons during conquest.
    2. Ratmen (8) Have more tokens than other races!
    3. Sorcerors (5) On your turn, you may replace an opponent's single active token adjacent to your territory with a sorceror from the box. You may do this once per turn per opponent.
    4. Tritons (6) Require one less token to conquer coastal regions (this includes regions adjacent to the lake).
    5. Trolls (5) Place a Troll's Lair in each region you occupy. A region with a lair requires one extra token to conquer. These stay even in decline, but are removed if there are no trolls present in the region.
    6. Wizards (5) Collect 1 extra coin for each Magic Source.
    7. Priestesses (4) When going In Decline, take one token from each region you occupy and stack them to form a single "Ivory Tower" in one of the regions you occupy, abandoning all the others. Each turn, score 1 VP for each Priestess token in the Ivory Tower, in lieu of your usual In Decline scoring.
    8. White Ladies (2) Once In Decline, White Ladies are immune to your opponents' conquests and powers.
    9. Bullywugs of Lodwilk (6) Require one less token to conquer regions, but other players require one less token to conquer Bullywugs at any region except swamps.
    10. Fairies of SlickShughes (5) All magic regions are considered adjacent. Whenever you conquer a magic region, place a fairy ring token there. A Fairy Ring Token increases the number of tokens required to conquer it by one. Discard a Fairy Ring token when its region is abandoned, conquered or the fairies go into decline.

    Special Power Summary:
    1. Alchemist (4) Collect 2 exta coins at the end of each turn while active.
    2. Dragon Master (5) Once per turn, you may make a single conquest with just one token. Place or move the Dragon token into that region which makes it immune.
    3. Flying (5) You may conquer any region except water even if they are not adjacent.
    4. Forest (4) Collect 1 extra coin for each Forest you control.
    5. Fortified (3) Once per turn, place one Fortress in a region you control (max 1 per region, 6 total). Each fortress token generates one extra point if the race is active and regions with fortress tokens require one more token to conquer (even in decline).
    6. Hill (4) Collect 1 bonus coin for each Hill you control.
    7. Mounted (5) Conquer Hills and Farmlands at -1 units.
    8. Pillaging (5) Collect 1 extra coin for each non-empty region conquered this turn.
    9. Seafaring (5) You may conquer and occupy water regions. This lasts even in decline.
    10. Spirit (5) This race does not count for your declined race limit. (Keep this power when in decline)
    11. Stout (4) You may go into Decline after conquering.
    12. Swamp (4) Collect 1 extra coin for each Swamp you control.
    13. Wealthy (4) Collect 7 extra coins at the end of your first turn active.
    14. Were- (4) On even-numbered turns, conquer all regions at -2 tokens.
    15. Marauding (5) Once your conquests are over (but BEFORE any final conquest attempt using the Reinforcement Die), take your troops back in hand, leaving at least one token per region, and go through another complete cycle of conquests; then do your final conquest attempt, if any.
    16. Peace-Loving (4) Collect 3 bonus VP at the end of each turn during which you have attacked no active Race.

    How are you killing my guys without using more tokens than that? Should be two + the number of tokens in the area you conquer (so two for empty, three for lost tribe or mountain or single token, four for two tokens, etc.).

    Oh Christ I forgot the rules. I'll redo my turn. I coulda sworn it was just +1 number of cardboard on the territory, but it's 1+x.

    Okay, redid my turn. Sorry about the mixup, it's been a long time since I've actually gotten to play this game.

    Not a big deal; you did remember to put the extra skeleton down, I see (might want to include that +1 skeleton for killing in two regions in your turn summary).

    Rorus, just PM your bid to admanb and/or Mordenthral, then post that you've done so. Then the rest of us can just PM our bids to you, and they can confirm your bid as needed.
