Yeah, it filled pretty quickly.

SpiceTheCat · January 23, 2021, 9:07am

Just had the email from DW saying the Winter map is coming next week as a free update

Zebracadabra · January 27, 2021, 3:30am

@JHTaube Your turn to respond.

Zebracadabra · January 27, 2021, 3:31am

One is not enough. I’m starting a new game, PW = sp

JHTaube · January 27, 2021, 5:56pm

Thanks. I’ve checked my two games and am current in both now.

SpiceTheCat · January 29, 2021, 6:43am

And the Winter map is here. I’ve started a new game, password sp. who wants to come and play in the snow?

Zebracadabra · January 30, 2021, 4:08am

We have four!

SpiceTheCat · January 30, 2021, 9:35am

We have! Interesting decision where to put the Cats’ keep.

Speaking of the Cats, I’m starting to doubt the randomness of the player alllocation

Mysterio · January 30, 2021, 12:56pm

Obviously, the game has deduced that SpiceTheCat wants to play the cats. Duh.

SpiceTheCat · January 30, 2021, 2:17pm

Too late to change my name to SpiceTheEyrieJustOnceGoddammit, I guess.

Edit: I wonder what @JHTaube has done for the game to tag him as a natural trash panda

geigerm · January 30, 2021, 2:22pm

Hmm … I’ve had pretty good luck with random allocation, which is good because I’m learning all the factions, but bad because I’d be happy to just play Woodland Alliance all the time.

JHTaube · January 30, 2021, 2:42pm

HaHa!
Vagabond three times in a row and I won’t complain. I like the freedom of movement and chance to combine lots of actions.

Should we start a “pick the faction you’ve been denied” game?

Also I ran through an AI game on hard using the winter map on hard just to see how the map connects and the AI was TERRIBLE! Much worse than normal map.

JHTaube · February 2, 2021, 1:13am

Two games needing input for combat:
@SpiceTheCat and @JMH.75

JMH.75 · February 2, 2021, 4:06pm

Done

geigerm · February 2, 2021, 5:19pm

Got kicked from the last game I started, for some reason, so I started a winter map game with password sp.

whovian223 · February 2, 2021, 6:47pm

I’m in!

Haven’t played for a few weeks and haven’t checked out the winter map yet.

SpiceTheCat · February 2, 2021, 8:08pm

I’ve been kicked from one of my games too is there a reduced time limit for when you have to play in someone else’s turn? I was up to date in all my games at 7am CET today. Hey ho.

Also getting my arse handed to me as WA with a bunch of randoms on the winter map. Cats and Birds take time out of their busy schedules to stamp on any sympathy I place, and I’m penned into a corner. Ah well, the Cat player is good. I’ll take notes…

JHTaube · February 3, 2021, 2:12am

Not sure if this is the game that Spice was kicked from, but I had a monster turn as Vagabond.
Eyrie crafted a hammer which I nabbed to get to 3 total hammers and then destroyed all enemy pieces in the mouse clearings. Quite a fun way to go from 18 to >30 points.
P. S. The game appeared to crash shortly after this screen grab.

There are times I get picked on and I have to wonder why, especially when I’m in last place but this is a war game, so there’s that!

Zebracadabra · February 3, 2021, 2:42am

Passing on this. I need to play a game or two with Winter AI first. I’m in a Winter and so far, I’m confused.
