How does a multi-player game work?

I think I caught something in terms of everyone has a Home Army, and there's one more Frontier than there are people playing. I guess how do the Horde armies align at the various spots.

I recollect that 2 - 8th faces win.

What else from a basic start-up do I need to know?

Thanks.

Army placement is more difficult than 2-player simply because now you have to choose where to put your Campaign and Horde armies. But it's also quite simple. Of course your Home army stays at your home (no difference there). Your Horde army then goes to someone else's home. It cannot go to the Frontier. Your Campaign army then can go to any terrain where you do not have an army. So it can't go to your home, or the home terrain where you placed your Horde. But it can go to another home, or to the Frontier, your choice.

Am I correct that I saw you use 2 frontiers if there are three players (3 if there are 4)?

Is it therefore possible, in reply to your reply, that two people could put their Horde armies at the third person's home?[/i]

No. There is only one Frontier no matter how many people are playing. There is no limit on how many people can put an army at a terrain. Every player (except the person that owns that home) could put their Horde at the same home. But you can't put two armies from the same player at the same terrain at the start. They must go to different terrains.

The game is virtually identical.

The only difference between a multiplayer and 1 v 1 game is placement of armies and turn sequence.
If you think of an idea beyond placement and turn sequence, the answer is its not different.

The only nuances, which is not different, is that just remember dragons will fight each other every round there is an army at the terrain and not just during the round you or the person they were intended for are there. Spells still expire exactly how they mentioned but may now last through another opponents turn. If you have a question about a spell, keep it literal. Mire for example, still expires at the end of YOUR next turn just that now its extended through another player.

Each player still places 3 armies. Each player still has a Horde, Campaign and Home army and every player proposes a single Frontier.

Here is the ONE part that is different about placement. Your Horde must go to an ENEMIES home, but of your choosing.
Your campaign can now go to ANY terrain that you dont already have a presence at.

You are player 1. There are 2 other players. 3 in all. Your horde must go to player 2 or 3's home and finally your campaign can go to either the frontier or the remaining enemy players home which your Horde did NOT go to.

Turn sequence is really the only dramatic difference in the 2 games choices you asked about.
Everyone rolls their Horde armies as usual. First place chooses to go first or chooses the SINGLE Frontier terrain that will only be used and 2nd place gets the remaining option. 3rd place simply goes last.

The Scenario:
Player 1 rolls 12 Horde maneuvers
Player 2 rolls 9 Horde maneuvers
Player 3 rolls 10 Horde maneuvers

Player 1 chooses to go first
Player 3 chooses his proposed Frontier and the other 2 players remove their proposed Frontiers from the game.
Player 2 goes last.

NOW, placement happens in the order of turn sequence.
So, Player 1 places his Horde at player 2's Home.
Player 3 places his Horde also at player 2's Home.
Player 2 places his Horde at player 1's Home.
Now, Player 1 places his Campaign at Player 3's Home
Player 3 places his Campaign at player 1's Home
Player 2 places his Campaign at the Frontier.

All 3 players have an army at their OWN Home.

Player 1 will go first, taking his 2 marches and finally his reserve phase.
Player 3 will go 2nd, taking her 2 marches and reserve phase.
Lastly, Player 2 goes 3rd and takes his 2 marches and reserve phase.
(Please god dont quote me on the dragon and initial effect phases, they are still there)

This will continue until one of the players has 2 8th faces OR there is only one player left with a unit still in play on either a terrain or their reserves.

Skawilly, you were doing fine until that nearly last paragraph. Here's how it should read:

NOW, placement happens in the order of turn sequence.
So, Player 1 places his Horde at player 2's Home.
Player 1 places his Campaign at Player 3's Home
Player 3 places his Horde also at player 2's Home.
Player 3 places his Campaign at player 1's Home
Player 2 places his Horde at player 1's Home.
Player 2 places his Campaign at the Frontier.

Note that each player places all their armies before the next player places.

That is actually good. That gives the 3rd player not an ENTIRE loss. Its really a better system.

Wow, in fact, in a Multiplayer game it might be well to target the campaign as a good terrain to start with.

Very interesting, Ill mess with this at Sundays meetup.
