I'll be a slow player, but I wanted to see who's interested in this novelty event.
36 Health - no more than 50% magicians, full rules + all dice (minus construction limitations)
There are 5 colors of magic. Pick three of them. There are three races which contain two of those three colors. Your army health must be split into three pieces evenly amoung these three races.
For example - Green,Gold,Black would be 12 health of goblin, 12 health of swampstalker, 12 health of treefolk.
which means, no undead, no amazon, no medallions, no magic items, but dkin are ok.
Let's limit this to 4 players with different combinations, so you don't have to post your army yet, but post your colors.
If you don't take an action or turn within 72 hours then a ghost may take it for you (note: this doesn't have to be THE ghost, just a ghost).

OK, got it, looks like it NEEDS to be three races which cover two of the three chosen magic colors.
(As if the rules weren't complicated enough, now you need to actually THINK when reading the game offers!!  )
It'll take me at least another day to figure out how to combine my three races, LOL!

it was just an arbitraty time limit. 3 days to roll a saving throw is crazy.
If there is no intelligence or options, then I see nothing wrong with taking the decision away from people.
For example the game between me and John in Single race. We were table talking the game through 3 turns in the future. neither of us did anything the other didn't expect. the only randomness was in the dice.
and yes, its a three race army. which I just realized means no eldarim either as they are single color (or white).
I did a three race army once but it was too watered down against a single or two race army. so this way we are all watered down

BTW - I will be the 4th player, but I will pick my races from whatever color combinations are left (since it was my event I don't want someone to think I took the best combo - which doesn't exist)

Cliff is just explaining that no matter how you work it out...there are 3 races which have 2 of the colors divided amongst them. |

Hi Daniel, and welcome to the forum!
Ghost Roller is no player in this game, he's just responsible for rolling dice when the actual player hasn't posted a his move within 72 hours.
He's rolling for EVERYONE in the game if we exceed the time limit.
I think it's a pretty good idea! This way we don't end up with a 4-months-game!
(some online games happened to last VERY long due to lack of time of the players)
Go ahead, you can post your colors.

QUESTION (which just came up while thinking about army construction:
Cliff said: three races, evenly distributed (12/12/12 health).
What about medallions or magic items which count for army health??
Could we say: three races, 12 health max for each race?
Or are items and medallions not allowed?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I can answer that myself by quoting Cliff:

36 Health - no more than 50% magicians, full rules + all dice (minus construction limitations)

Yeah...I thought about playing..
but I use magic items to fill the gaps between the races...
so this format is not favorable to the way I like to play...
not a bad challenge though. |
