Game 54682: Rost310, petermock, free palestine., RABID in 'Alien Colony*'

at first turn there should be no smoke, at the first turns humans are poorly protected and smoke will not give them a chance. But then, humans become stronger than aliens and from the 3rd move should fog appear

Posted by Rost310 5 hours ago

Game 54682: Rost310, petermock, free palestine., RABID in 'Alien Colony*'

As it is currently, it adds a bit of smoke every turn, like the Angels mission. I can change it to add lots of smoke at the start instead or something in between.

Game 54682: Rost310, petermock, free palestine., RABID in 'Alien Colony*'

It's worth testing out compensation. Same with increasing the Alien Queens health...don't make her immortal though:) The smoke in the game I'm playing with Rabid seems a bit thin, is it possible to increase the size of smoke clumps to a few more squares but still keep enough open ground?

Game 54682: Rost310, petermock, free palestine., RABID in 'Alien Colony*'

Looking at the stats for the game, it seems sides 3 and 4 have trouble winning, even though they are humans and aliens respectively. Maybe because they are last to take a turn? I might increase their creds/stats to compensate.

Posted by SteveSmith 7 hours ago

Game 54682: Rost310, petermock, free palestine., RABID in 'Alien Colony*'

I've changed this mission so smoke is added in the same way as for the Angels mission. Shall I increase the Queen's health? It currently starts at 60.

Game 54687: mojopin1973, Chris1977 in 'The Assassins'

I'll set up a one where a sufficiently crafty opponent (opponent meaning you) is really hard to beat. Angels are like the weeping variety in Dr Who - really fast (loads of APs), deadly in close combat and effectively indestructible, but immobile if in someone's line of sight. So your main challenge is figuring out how to get in close enough to pounce without being seen (shifting skeins of smoke being occasionally helpful in this respect)...

I felt sure you were going to win that one after I'd been so gung ho and explosives-happy (not to mention stupid, e.g. blowing one of my own guys up for no good reason)! Purely a fluke that I was able to spot Sterner, pick up a gun and loose off a few reasonably on-target shots. Do you want to set something else up? Or would you like me to choose something?

Game 54663: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Superhuman: Moonbase Assault'

Ah, Both of my Superhumans were wearing Super-Heavy armour, which may explain it - according to the log, your first shot did 49 damage, but there was 0 damage thereafter. Either way, it sounds like neither of us got what we were expecting at the end. And it was a deserved win by you - you had me on the ropes for most of that, and I wouldn't have been able to destroy so many of the computers and even up the unit numbers without employing a little extra sneakiness and a LOT of luck! Enjoy your jollies; speak soon.

That was a close one! There was a glitch at the end. I put 3 blaster shots into your final unit and at the end of my turn he was still standing. Was it the case that the number of turns had expired? I'm off on my holidays tomorrow so we can catch up on our gaming in a couple of weeks

Thanks all, that was a messy game. I deliberately set my first unit on fire (when drigert was still active) since he was screwed and wanted to act as a shield for Rabid. My final unit was on fire, I presume Steve lobbed an incendiary grenade at me. I gambled that by setting one of his cadavers on fire before I died, it might have a negative consequence for him - looks like it did! (Mental note)

@SteveSmith, I took an almighty risk effectively hiding right under the nose of one of your units (in his starting position, anyway)! Luckily (deliberately, @Cpt Fishmonger?), he was then "distracted" by one of the Cap'n's units and the action moved SW-wards, so all I had to was sit tight and hope. @RABID, I interpreted the move Steve alludes to as a deliberate act of self-sacrifice, taking as many cadavers with you as possible to give the remaining research monitors the best possible chance; is that right? Many thanks if so!

Is there an issue with a removed player's zombies coming back to life? There's probably never been this situation before, but I can fix it. I assume the best solution is for resurrected units to be put under the control of the remaining zombie player.
