New Characters - Ship Hoarder/Key Hoarder

Hi All In recent games I've put in a new character called the Ship Hoarder who scores by having ships. He had a 4:1 commandeer like a raider and a 2:1 scavenge of neutral keys like a scavenger. Since he accumulates ships I made his attack multiplier 50%. He gets 1 point/ship and 10 points/key. In th...

Re: famous2c

Hi Flying Buffalo has an Extra-Long SW game that goes to 25,000 points. I love those games but you are correct that the scoring dynamic changes. In games over 20,000 points there is time to complete a campaign and exterminate an enemy and even to start a 2nd or 3rd campaign. In some games one allian...

Re: Usable Industry

Hi

If the metal is on the ships this turn it is not available to the industry until the next turn. The 15 you have available represents what the mines produced and what was dropped last turn.

Re: RSW Version 0.98.10

This sounds very familiar and I do believe this is how we wished to configure it for standard play. When I looked at your description of the AD in the rules it doe...

Re: RSW Version 0.98.10

Hi David Thanks for the credit. I looked over your rule book and I don't think you listed the Raider's scoring for the advanced game (100/80/60/40/20). Or did you not code this in? We may have beefed up the Arms Dealer too much but let's see where it goes. In a current game with only double loading ...
