I was planning to give people a chance to have a couple of practice games to bget used to how it works (and how it is different to BB) and then set one up...

Looking at how Cyanide has done the team lists, this is almost certainly a bug, but one I am glad of :D

As far as I can see there are no special rules concerning injuries when you throw a Goblin against a wall, is that correct? Can you have him bounce of the walls just like a ball?

There is a team that is allowed 2 mino's.
The game actually lists them as a chaos mino & a chorf mino.
With the Jade college it's gobbo, orc & troll.
The troll section seems to be copy / pasted from the gobbo list.
So if you have chosen trolls from the gobbo list, it won't let you choose trolls from the troll list (the game thinks you have already got those players....)

Would be funny though...

I don't like that at all!
A gobbo grabs the ball, runs up to an ogre & tugs on his hand.
The ogre turns picks up the gobbo & launches him into the air.
The gobbo flies downfield with a big grin on his face, which suddenly disappears when he notices the guy standing in the endzone with a baseball bat at the ready….

So when will this league be coming into commission? Been wanting to give this a more serious look.
And also... Could we make it so that everyone in the league has to have made their own dungeon? That sounds stupidly fun. Home field advantage could possibly be a thing.
If that's asking to much, disregard. I just thought it'd be cool :)

And yes, I do plan on asking people to make a home stadium (within a few sensible guidelines....)

I'm going to run a few tests on the game in the near future and see if my participation is manageable...the game's poor optimization might keep me out of this one since it ran pretty badly on my computer when I played Rod.
EDIT: So the jury's still out, but it seems to be running a little better--the complexity of the dungeon may have a lot to do with my ability to run the game.

So it looks like we have:
Me
Zeta
Digital Hero
Iipp0
Piranjade
Zeta has performance issues (Oh how many ways can I interpret that sentence? ;D )
So that leaves the 4 of us.
I'm thinking a 6 week league to begin with, playing each other team home & away, followed by a knockout stage.
Each player will need to create a new team & a home stadium.
The big rule about the stadiums is that there must be 7 squares of access to the endzone, so you can't just sit with your starting 6 & completely block the endzone.
If, rather than creating your own dungeon, you want to use a Cyanide one, or one created by someone else, as long as it meets this criteria, that is fine.
I will generate a fixture list.
There are no admin tools for DB, so if you suffer a DC, tough.
1 rematch will be acceptable, but in the event of a second DC, the concession will stand.
A home win is worth 2 league points, an away win is worth 3.
Question:
Should we continue to use this thread, or do you want a new one.
(I'm cautious of cluttering up GOG with too many semi private threads...).
I will maintain a league table in the OP of whichever thread we end up using.
Question:
Should the knockout stage include all 4 teams?
I'm tempted to say yes, but want to know what you think / want.
I am thinking Tuesday 6th July as kick off date.
This should give everyone time to create teams & dungeons & get some more practice games in if they wish.
Note that, while you can create a team identical to your league team for practice, your league team should still be brand new for the start of the season.
Again, is this date doable, or do people want to start sooner / later?
Finally, if anyone else wants to join, GET ON WITH IT, the clock is ticking....
