Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting!

I will create a new game within a week which tries to be something between Lone Wolf games and classic Die Hard games.

MAX ALLY 1. Only one FULL alliance allowed. No safe passages, no share intels.

I will create it under Die Hard SUB-category. (So that BB can include it in the Die Hard Webpage).

Game will be Classic Queue game.

No campaign features

Fascist, EE & Bird new features allowed. (2x beams - Base ftr transfer - Adv superspy)

Fixed Turn 150

Normal round map.

Normal mineral and native settings

Fast start 5 turns

3 turns / week

Fight or Fail 10 planets at turn 30. No incremental FOF. (i do not like sudden empty space it will generate)

To participate you must agree to overall Die Hard rules stated in original Die hard series. http://planets.nu/discussion/now-recruiting-for-die-hard-ei8ht

ALSO game have very simple Honor-CODE you have to agree to participate:

1. No safe passages, no intel agreements are allowed in this game

2. No giving ships to another player is allowed until Full Alliance. GS ships is prohibited, also it is prohibited to give ships via force surrender, intended capture etc - this will be easy to check after game - no cheating allowed).

3. Laying mines for some other races ID is NOT allowed.

3. ONE FULL ALLIANCE during the game is allowed. AND - when you announce FULL ALLIANCE, all kind of cooperation is allowed, including giving ships and laying mines. But not before full alliance.

4. Othervise, all cooperation, diplomacy etc. IS ALLOWED. So, you can make borderlines, trade resources, gang bang players... but, gang banging will be harder than before

MIN rank commander (so diff will be atleast 1.0)
MIN tenacity 90%
No max rank

All players have one chance to request to pause the game for short time (max 1 week, if there is major problem playing turns). After that, ALL players in a game MUST agree to pause the game.

I will genererate new thread to gather players. But here you can tell if you are interested in participating. Also we can make small adjustment to settings if wanted. But overall, this will be the idea of the game. If you do not like the idea, do not join :)

Host will be me - not participating

When you sign up - I will send you the game password.

Please welcome aboard!

I am keen to follow this game and how it develops. This shows us how these new Max Ally 1 honor code rules impact on the game and especially diplomacy dynamics!

If this works well there likely will be another serie of this type games. Maybe doing some adjustments to the rules

1165 days, 23 hours, 15 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I am curious to see if alliance gets used in a completely different manner, perhaps granting full alliance for one turn at a time to show something, or for ten turns as part of a joint campaign.

Also, are these full alliances required to be mutual? I think players could take turns granting each other full alliance, and it would only become known to other players if both granted full alliance to each other at the same time.

1165 days, 23 hours, 4 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Only one FA allowed during the game. Stated in the rules

1165 days, 22 hours, 16 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I am fine with that, if it is a true Die Hard with no drops.

@ISO: take a look at DH12 Event tab ... may be we soften the rule a bit ... one FA except the ally droped, then a second FA is allowed?

1165 days, 22 hours, 12 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

In case of ally drop, second full alliance may be announced. (This is not the case if ally drops because being almost destroyed, I will figure this out more spesific soon). But if this new ally drops too, then it is considered in intergalactic council, that the first player treats his allies so badly, that no more alliances is allowed.

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I think it says 7 turns / week because of 5 day fast start, After that it should be 3 turns / week.

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

As you asked for comments, Iso:

>> 3. ONE FULL ALLIANCE during the game is allowed. AND - when you announce FULL ALLIANCE, all kind of cooperation is allowed, including giving ships and laying mines. But not before full alliance.

One full alliance at one time or throughout the game? What if your ally dies?

>> 3. Laying mines for some other races ID is NOT allowed.

Significantly weakens the Crystal. They often lay webs in other races names for purely selfish reasons.

Otherwise I think the setup is interesting. I’m participating in 2 Lone Wolf games. It’s a nice alternation but the setting has crucial weaknesses. Without trades and allies the initial placement of races/skills decides the outcome for at least 50%. Without the balancing effect of ship trading and diplomacy you often know very early (T20) if you’ll die / have a chance to survive / have a chance to win. The next decisive factor is the result of this equitation for the archenemies of your race. Next factor is the motivation of the commanders who know early they’ll die / not win – who pseudodrops and who not and who benefits. Then comes your skill – that’s too little influence.
But in your game you have diplomacy activated and allow to trade with one race so your game will be of other kind. The leader/s can be attacked by a bigger coalition but it’s very difficult to apply the ability stack of doom.

Have fun!

1153 days, 14 hours, 16 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Thanks EMORK!

Point 1. Yes. Only 1 full alliance is possible. (ally sudden drop is only exception, as stated in the rules). If your ally dies. You was too weak to defend him, and deserve to die too :)

Point 2. Yes. I know that. But Crystals are strong enough with this little hampering them. You just need to lay more anchor webs. AND, if you are not having a safe passage with someone, i wouldn´t lay webs in their id. would you?

1153 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes ago

talespin

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I think Emork means that the Crystals often lay webmines or regular mines in the IDs of other races to throw them off, blame another race, or just to sow chaos in another race's name.

1153 days, 14 hours, 9 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

There are many many situations where you want to lay webs / regular mines on another players i.d. But it is not possible here :)...Aand I think it´s not a major point without safe passage.

kelmain

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I agree with Emork that that minefields laid for your own benefit should be allowed and I meant to clarify this as well. My interpretation of "laying mines FOR another race" would not disallow laying mines in another races ID for your OWN benefit. There are many tactics even beyond the crystals obvious ones that would be limited by that.

I'd also like to suggest that no diplomacy should begin until all players have joined the game to give everyone an even start, meaning no messages to other players, no predesignated teamwork, etc. When the host processes turn 1 then the gun sounds and everyone has a clean start. If anyone has already started diplomatic discussions, please drop a "too late" post here and we will all know to get out of the gate.

I think the dead ally question was addressed in another thread. If I recall it was "don't let your ally die." If your ally drops (which shouldn't happen in a DH game), you can take a new ally one time. This could actually encourage a drop in some situations and I'd rather see a race bond established where you can only set the alliance once for a single race and drop will bind the replacement to the alliance.

Looking forward to getting underway!

1153 days, 13 hours, 19 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I still think i will stick no mine laying to another id. rule. Without safe passage, benefical ways for laying mines to another races id are very limited. If allowed, it allows also crystall to help NON ALLIES with laying mines for their i.d. And that is one of the main things I want to avoid

Too many games have I seen enemies towing crystall ships giving him torps and crystall just sits on LAY WEBMINES mission... I have done this myself also. So. No mines for another races i.d ;)

1153 days, 13 hours, 17 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

By the way, what are the situations where you would lay webs at another races id you have no safe passage with? You do not want to get stuck on some other players webs...or are the crystals immune to all webs? If so, then I understand your thoughts... but will stick to original rules players have joined in with.

1153 days, 13 hours, 4 minutes ago

talespin

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I'm ok with the Die Hard rules, so I don't mean to argue but to offer another view on it.

You're right: it would be odd for a Crystal to lay a webmine in another ID. However, it's not odd for any race to lay a minefield in another ID to deceive other races.

From a Crystal stand point, offering webmines to a neighbour (ally or not) is a method of insuring they don't attack you. That's still in your own ID though.

1153 days, 13 hours, 1 minutes ago

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

You can still offer the webs. Just tell the codes. And that is fully allowed

Only two spots left, Feds and Fascists. Don't pass up this chance. Die Hard games don't start everyday.

Only two spots left! There must be commanders wanting into this excellent game. Feds and Fascists

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I would take the Feds.
Another game will be canceled/deleted, because not enough players are joining the game.

Sigh, really sorry Spacepilot. Doesn't look like you have the minimum rank. Thanks for trying.

Still need a Fed and Fascists player. Sign up quick before you miss this chance!

He should be able to Join . He has been a Captain. Plus his Highest Rank should also let him in.

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Which rank counts? My Highest Rank for the Feds is Captain.
@Cyrus: If I join yiu could be glad. You have an easy target/opponent due to my low rank. :-)

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Min rank Commander. A rank of two ranks higher in another officer makes you eligible to join. You have a Rear Admiral so can join. Also you have your old rank of Captain as the Federation. This counts for joining games. So you have the required rank twice :-).

Welcome spacepilot! (And no, it is not because I suppose you to be an easy target). Come on in.

All we need now is a Fascist player. There must be one more player that wants in on a rare die hard game. Let's get this game going!

Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting!

I will create a new game within a week which tries to be something between Lone Wolf games and classic Die Hard games.

MAX ALLY 1. Only one FULL alliance allowed. No safe passages, no share intels.

I will create it under Die Hard SUB-category. (So that BB can include it in the Die Hard Webpage).

Game will be Classic Queue game.

No campaign features

Fascist, EE & Bird new features allowed. (2x beams - Base ftr transfer - Adv superspy)

Fixed Turn 150

Normal round map.

Normal mineral and native settings

Fast start 5 turns

3 turns / week

Fight or Fail 10 planets at turn 30. No incremental FOF. (i do not like sudden empty space it will generate)

To participate you must agree to overall Die Hard rules stated in original Die hard series. http://planets.nu/discussion/now-recruiting-for-die-hard-ei8ht

ALSO game have very simple Honor-CODE you have to agree to participate:

1. No safe passages, no intel agreements are allowed in this game

2. No giving ships to another player is allowed until Full Alliance. GS ships is prohibited, also it is prohibited to give ships via force surrender, intended capture etc - this will be easy to check after game - no cheating allowed).

3. Laying mines for some other races ID is NOT allowed.

3. ONE FULL ALLIANCE during the game is allowed. AND - when you announce FULL ALLIANCE, all kind of cooperation is allowed, including giving ships and laying mines. But not before full alliance.

4. Othervise, all cooperation, diplomacy etc. IS ALLOWED. So, you can make borderlines, trade resources, gang bang players... but, gang banging will be harder than before

MIN rank commander (so diff will be atleast 1.0)
MIN tenacity 90%
No max rank

All players have one chance to request to pause the game for short time (max 1 week, if there is major problem playing turns). After that, ALL players in a game MUST agree to pause the game.

I will genererate new thread to gather players. But here you can tell if you are interested in participating. Also we can make small adjustment to settings if wanted. But overall, this will be the idea of the game. If you do not like the idea, do not join :)

Host will be me - not participating

When you sign up - I will send you the game password.

Please welcome aboard!

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

I would suggest doing the next Die Hard as a Campaign/Production Que game I would be interested then, anything with the old sytle PBP Que loses my interest instantly, I think this is why your having a hard time filling that last spot.

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

And I wouldn't be interested at all then. Which reinforces the point that splitting players among different sub-games in such a small community hurts the viability of each game type.

Unbelievable. Such a beautifull thing as real max ally 1 game. DIE HARD 17 starting, and we can not find a Fascist player!

RE: Die Hard 17 - The faithfull Hound 1 starting! I will...

Ship production? No. Not going to change that. We only need a Klingon player and we are good to go. Shouldn´t be impossible :) I could take the spot, but just do not have time :(
