RWL: Black Ages Expansion

New Species

We're adding three new vermin species to the game, each with different abilities: Ermines, Painted Ones, and Crows.

Crows are for those who feel they need a tough challenge, that they've been beating the game too easily, and nothing can stop them. Crows have penalties in nearly every category, and have no special ability.

haha the painted ones! now they're a scary bunch

Ashyra Nightwing · October 20, 2003, 02:49:21 PM

I'm still stickin' with Weasel... Unless another species has an ability that can get more skiffs than Weasel: Corsair..

Yay! Ermines! I think I'm gonna try foxes, though. I was always Rats.

Scarwake · October 20, 2003, 08:20:09 PM

Hhmmmm.....Very Intriguing...*curiously begins wondering the special abilities of the Painted Ones, and the Ermines....*

Retto · October 20, 2003, 08:27:49 PM

I, indeed, told Peace that I'd release those.

Ermines are Expansionist
Painted Ones are very good at Surprise.

Scarwake · October 20, 2003, 08:30:50 PM

Uhhh....That doesn't really help my curiousity...It actually kind of keeps my curiosity at the same level, because now I have to try to figure out what that means....

Peace Alliance · October 20, 2003, 10:32:53 PM

I think "Expansionist" Means that you'll be able to get land with the leader skill "probably a small amount but it will be really good for the peacefull wimplords. "good at Surprise." sounds like they'll be good at surprise attacks.

I don't like the sound of Crows though. It seems like everyones gonna expect me to use it since i'm good (sometimes)... But i still wouldn't want penalties in everything!

Scarwake · October 21, 2003, 03:46:05 PM

Ahhh, I was kind of thinking somewhere along those lines for the terms of the New Spieces' special abilities but I simply wasn't sure....

Crows....I'm defiantely not being a crow....Though the ummm....*looks at past posts* Ah, ermines I might try, though I dunno about the Painted Ones...All depends...

Enslave

Enslave is a new type of attack (like Standard and Surprise). It nets you about 2-3% max of their land, but you get 7-10% of their workers. Just like that - an extra production boost. It's great for when you suddenly realize that you need 2000 more tents - but you can't build them before you start loosing troops. Instead of attacking a lot, Enslave a bit, until you've got enough workers that you can get your economy back.

Kilkenne · October 21, 2003, 05:41:22 PM

Sounds like I'll be using that often...It would make it easy for me to get an economy off super-economical people...AND gain land!

The Lady Shael · October 21, 2003, 05:41:32 PM

Whoa, that's great! Somehow, I've always regretted the fact that tents and gaining land were the only ways to gain workers...man, that's terrific. Mwahaha! That's a brilliant idea...
