AoW1, 5 players, XL 3-level map.

I think a game played on this map will take a long time, just a warning.

Post here if you're interested in playing on it.

Interested

Alternatively, we could play on my next map, Khazlkound Towers, which will be a much more sensible size, and possibly better in other ways also; but it'll take another 3 weeks or so to complete the map.

Hello

do you accept noobs? I've played only SP.

Not Southern, but I think I can safely answer - of course we do. And you can sign me up as well.

You're welcome, but do note that this is the very first Age of Wonders game, published in 1999. Also, we're doing Play By Email - when you play your turn, you email it to the next person. This is great for people who are too busy or impatient to sit in one place for 4+ hours playing a match as a live game, but it does mean that battles between players have to be automated; only battles against AI or indies can be manually controlled.

Fortunately there's a fanmade program available - called the Age of Wonders Email Wrapper - which automatically downloads your turns from your email, and which automatically emails your turn to the next guy when you press 'end turn' in game - so you don't have to mess around with emails to play.

If you're still interested in playing, you will need to message me with the email address you intend to use for the game - many players make a new email just for that. Some people play without the Wrapper, but if you decide you want to use it, let me know - it can be fiddly to set up as there's a couple of special settings you need to enable in your email.

If you don't mind me flailing about cluelessly I'd love to try.

Do you use any mods or just the base game?

This evening I'll try to install the wrapper. Oh and I'm sending you the mail as soon as I figure out how to send messages on here :blush:

The more the merrier!

We typically use the version provided by GOG (Triump Standard 1.36), unless we all agree on a different version to use. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the games

Do we choose races and magic schools? Do we customise wizards? How many points?

I'd like to try out halflings as I usually shun them... But if this is assigned no worries! I'll accept whatever comes.

Now excited about this ^_^'

Since all other games seem to have died again, I would be interested as well.

The choices are;

Azracs with 4 Water, 3 Earth
Lizardmen with 4 Fire, 3 Earth
Dwarves with 4 Life, 3 Air
Orcs with 4 Earth, 3 Water
Goblins with 4 Death, 3 Air

Incidentally all leaders start with Spellcasting III

You should probably be pinging Jyri, not me. He's the one that signed up for this one.
I'd tell you to just give him Frostlings, but that doesn't seem to be an option. ;)

if you want to pick race you can

Lizardmen.
