Napoleonic FFA - 8players

You are the last to chose. So you get what is left after the rest has chosen  :|

Noll rolled earlier on in this thread the order for players to chose nations.

so what do i do next :?

[Noll]

@kabloom:

Just wait for people luckier than you with the dice has chosen their nations. After that you will know what nation you get, and the game can start.

If you want to do something benefiting you greatly, then play Napoleonic Empires against a computer a few turns with you controlling Spain and Sweden because you will get one or another of those nations. This will make you familiar with the units in Napoleonic Empires, both naval and ground.

@Noll:

Noll, do not know what you mean. Please explain, or anyone else.

Click http://dice.tripleawarclub.org/

Type your email address there.

This will register your email to the dice server, so that the server can send you verifying emails of the results of the dice rolls. Usually you don’t need them, but they are good to have because then people can’t cheat. You can verify from the emails you got what was rolled in each battle, if you want.

Note that the dice server will spam combat dice rolls a lot. So, better chose or even make some email for it which can stand a lot of email flooding from the dice server without annoying you.

This can sound confusing, but trust me, it is an elegant solution. You will be hard pressed to think how to improve usability of TripleA after you have become used to it.

Count me in as Spain! Best of a bad lot…  :wink:

[Witt]

Thanks Noll. Thought you would have my back.
Remind me though: aren’t you the enemy!

Thank you for your time Moilami. I was stumped. (Am not a computer knowledgable person.)
  And Cheating? I don’t think so. Surely we are all gentlemen here.
Except those revolutionary French rabble of course. Damn them to hell!

[moilami]

I think I like your attitude  :-)

[moilami]

Start already with your politics, France, if you are done with them so that we can get the game move forward  :roll:

I have played an hour now and think I have a good idea of the mechanics of the game. One question: I made 4 ground Reinforcements and I could only place 3 on my General. Is that the limit?
Thank you.

[Make_It_Round]

The general is a portable encampment: it only produces a # of units equivalent to the territory its standing on, assuming you’ve owned that territory since the beginning of the turn.

A general is like a portable factory.

Territory limits are in use for building with a general. That is, you can build number of units up to the territory value with your general. So, if production in Berlin is 3, then you can build maximum of three units per turn to Berlin with your general.

Note that you can move your general too before you build, and if the zone where you moved your general was owned by you at the beginning of your turn, then you can build units into that zone.

Note also that generals can be captured by the enemy. The only time when they are not captured by winner of a battle is during Naval battles. Generals die there. Hence you can avoid capture of a general by moving it into a ship.

[moilami]

A note to everyone: You can build encampments (factories) on any zone you controlled at the beginning of your turn. You don’t need a general to build encampment.

[Witt]

Thank you Moilami. Does that limit count for the capital too?

[moilami]

@wittmann:

Thank you Moilami. Does that limit count for the capital too?

Yeah.

Also, say, you have in Berlin an encampment and a general. Production (territory value) in Berlin is 3. So you can only build 3 units to Berlin, even though you have an encampment and a general there.
