Team 2 might have to coordinate well to end it early or Team 1s gonna get out of hand. What a familiar metagame.

Questions:

How does combat work? What initiates combat?
Can vampires fight each other? What happens if vampires of equal power fight each other?
Can vampires guard buildings at night with the thrawls?
And can you move your coffin after initial placement?

Combat starts when you move thralls/whatever onto the same square of other thralls. To make this not totally impossible, thralls' positions are not hidden on the map.
Vampires can fight each other. At night they basically act as really strong thralls that don't lose their HP in combat unless they take their whole HP in damage. Also if they're on a big stack of allied thralls, the thralls will take combat damage before the vampire does.
Yes vampires can guard buildings at night.
Ppl can't move their coffins once they're placed. Additionally, people can't place their thralls on top of their coffin either.

Another question I got:
We're not sure how its going to work in choosing squares to search. Ie. We don't know how many guards there will be. So if 3 of my thrawls die, which of the remaining ones will search which squares?

If you want to search with multiple thralls you can list it as wanting to search square A1, B1, C1, D1 etc. They would search in that order, so if three of them die you would just search A1.
You'll have a guess of how many squares you can search, because you'll be able to see how many enemy thralls are on the map

I'm also waiting on Drizzle, Manthur, Ghost Hand and Smile......

To clarify, what do you mean by being able to see thrall positions exactly? I thought they're basically invisible unless you happen across when when trying to enter a building.

No, the vampires are invisible but the Thralls are not. I think the aim is to kill the enemy vampires by looking for the enemy vampires' coffins using your Thralls and destroying them.

Oh that's kind of a good thing to point out. New thralls should be placed somewhere on your side of the map.

Also we're just waiting on Manthur and we can start :o

Sorry about the delay in posts. I never got a PM from Manthur and wasn't sure what to do next when Lami and Ghost Hand have disappeared as well.

I guess we'll consider this game open again and taking three new players. Replacing Mantha, Lami and Ghost on their respective teams

Will the new players use their same vamp types or pick new ones? Because that's half of team 2's peeps.

I think the placing for all the vamps should also be canceled so we as a group can better strategize especially with the change in team members

You never told me your vampire type. I don't want any further problems to come up so I gotta replace you too :p

I'll be hosting forum games regularly from this point on so maybe join the next one
