If I looked at the right game I'm not sure it can be classified as cheating.  This is the reason I dont play Rated FFA.  Common strategy is to gang up and take out the best player.  It did seem VERY cooperative.  At one point even mind controlling you up to the other opponents direction.  If two players gang up on you like that there's no way you have a chance so i dont play FFA.  It may not be cheating but at the very least it seems unsportsmanlike.  

This is true. If you ever watch reality shows. Alliances can be made to take out other players first in situations like these. This happens all the time, and has happened to me plenty of times. Enough so I plan for it and go full defensive and let someone else be the person running into the middle.

This is especially true, since last place gets points taken away to all other players above him, so it is beneficial AND expected for the lesser players to out gun better players.

I will watch the game also, and see if I see any actual cheating. Will respond with what I see.

That being said. I have won plenty of 1v2s and 2v3s (with my cousin as my partner)

That simulator is awesome Ross.  I did not know it existed.  Thanks for the link. 

I remember using it way back, when Ross first posted it I used it often for statistics reasons. Fun thing

Secondly scary thing is? Samurai used to be stronger, and psi's mind control didn't need a roll before either. Made first - second turn Mage kills so easy.

However Sami and psi are easy to dodge if played right. A barb-bard combo can do much more damage, and outrunning a barb is tough.

2ish years back I won 2 games on the first turn, never giving my opponent even a turn. Granted since than some cards and spells have changed. But granted, normally it takes a silly mistake like this to lose quickly.

I just got a new one a while back, but yea its quite powerful.

The world of Pap, lol is going to be huge. Took me 3 hours alone to make the collosseum (the 8 person FFA map), which was massive sized outside the castle.

Each building and/or "person" in the world I am naming too. Like I named myself as king, and my blacksmith in the castle as Vinman, and my librarian Gorstak and so on.

I named the Collosseum after Ross. and so on, its going to be a massive project. Plus since I am doing most this on survival mode.. hahaha

I will post a few teaser screens once I get it a little more developed. But once I have a majority of it done I will video it and post it.

Game Balance / Re: Paladin and Fighter Mage Changes

To balance a paladin at 6 hp would require a reduction in def. to compensate.

Yes the Minotaur could use 1 more defense. He is at the bottom with the reaver (in my opinion). To make him a little more feasible.

WOAH! THAT IS RIDUCLOUS! When do you usually get on? I want to play you


It's completely random. Normally when I'm like "ah I guess I'll log on for a few." last time was like 1:30am Sunday morning, turns out gorstak and a new guy was actually on. Lol

Forums I keep an eye on though at times.

Great idea Dies, Ross, how is that new Mage coming along?


I'm full of great ideas. I may just no be on game much since i have so many games to play (currently love minecraft) but I took a big interest in this game 3 years back, so I watch / put my input on them on the forums.

He already has a few ideas set up, it's just the graphical cost portion (if I remember right) holding him back.

And now... I have a great idea I can't believe I didn't consider. Re-enact a battle of heromages on minecraft. I actually still remember vividly mine and ross's first game years back. How I won because of a mutinest skeleton trying to unstun his own summoner.

Actually their is a simple fix that I have succeeded with many times against this combo. Pally and Warrior. Put the Pally in between to walls and put a warrior behind/ diagonal to it on the opposite side of where the enemies are. Use Protect on Pally and have the Pally attack and use Combat Healing. It work's wonders against opponents because the Pally get's 20 def EVERY TURN if you have the cards!

More fun on a 2v2v2v2 (no bots) when a bloodlusted, shielded, barded barbarian runs amok. Ah memories, used him to destroy many people that game.

And my cousins "double double" attack on a 3v3. (no bots) in which he killed all 3 heros on other team on his second turn with just a sorceress. (though my map had some flaws in it.)

Since then me and Vinman have been trying for the triple double. That is:

15+ valor sorc with the cards: mana surge, lightning bolt x2, fireball x2, and 2 other cards.

May have to try on my phone  while I'm at gencon if 1.8 is up by then.

Rank match making. What are the limitations on this exactly? 100 point difference max? And does it use duel rating for duels or the overall rating?
