I Went Beyond Custom Terrain: My Custom Terrain Rules
Well, of course you've seen everybody making awesome custom terrain in order to make the game more realistic-looking, right? Well, i went a step further and wrote up some new rules involving my figures, weather and realistic..stuff. Here it all is, my first great glory.
FIGURE BONUSES 1. Hidden in the mist: During fog, all Shades have +1 attack and move. 2. Rust: During rain, each Soulborg figure must roll the d20 for rust. if a 16+ is rolled, that figure cannot move this turn. 3. Swamp Bonding: Any Marro or Nagrub figure has +1 defence on a swamp tile or swamp water tile. 4. Orcs Like Rock: Any Orc figure on a rock tile has +1 defence. 5. Swmimming: Human figures with a defence of 3-can move up to 3 spaces in water, without exceeding their normal move. 6. Sinking: When figures with a hieght of 9+ are on swamp or sand tiles, they count every 1 tile as 2 when moving. 7. Misty Shroud: During Fog, all figures have -1 move. 8. Tunnel: Any figure with a hieght of 3- can "tunnel" up to four spaces under any terrain or obstacle instead of using a normal move. 9. Frozen Locks: During Freeze, the Door cannot be shut or closed, it remains in it's current position. 10. Turbulence: During Wind, the Airborne Elite cannot perform "The Drop." 11. Resident Evil: Any zombie figure on a sand tile has +1 attack and defence. TERRAIN 1. Swamp Water: Human figures cannot swim in swamp water. At the end of each turn, all figures in swamp water, excluding Mrros and Nagrubs, roll one attack die for unblockable poison damage. 2. Water: Soulborg figures who end their turn in water roll the d20 for rust, and a 16+ causes them to be unable to attack next turn. 3. Castle: Any figure behind atleast 3 battlements has +1 defence. 4. Swamp: Human figures have -1 move on Swamp tiles. WEATHER At the beginning of each turn, roll the d20 for weather. 1. 1-4: Normal Day. 2. 5-8: Snow 3. 9-12: Wind 4. 13-16: Rain 5. 17-20: Fog 1. Rain: All Soulborg figures roll the 20-sided die for rust separately. If a 1 or 20 is rolled, they cannot move for this turn. Roll the 20-sided die again for other effects: 1-5 Flooding. All spaces adjacent to a water space or swamp water space are looked upon as water. 6-10 Nothing happens. 11-15 Lightning. Each player chooses one figure to roll lightning damage, same as falling damage. 16-20 Mud. All sand spaces turn to mud, which makes each tile count as double the normal move. 2. Snow: All snow spaces are counted as two levels. Roll the 20-sided die for other effects: 1-7 nothing happens. 8-16 Freeze. All water and swamp water turns to ice. When moving on ice, all medium figures slide and can be moved one space in any direction by an enemy player for every space moved. Large and huge figures cannot move on ice. 17-20 Freeze. 3. Wind: All small figures count every tile as 2 when moving. Roll the 20-sided die for other effects. 1-10 nothing happens. 11-20 Sandstorm. Any figure adjacent to at least 4 sand tiles can be moved up to 5 spaces to another sand tile by an enemy player. 4. Fog: All figures (excluding shades) have 1 less move. Any figure with a range of 4+ has 1 less range. All flying figures (except shades) have 2 less move. 5. Normal Day: Roll the 20-sided die. 1-6 nothing happens. 7-12 Avalanche. Any figures on a snow tile cannot move this turn. Any figure on a level 3+ rock tile rolls falling damage without moving. (Excluding orcs) 13-18 Bright sun. All snow tiles are treated as water. 19-20 The mightiest tree in the forest is cut down with a herring. Well, that's all i have. I would love criticism, new ideas, what you think, and maybe adjustments to my rules. [/b] Yes I am. But the real question is, why aren't you? |

Thanks. I just made it, so i haven't had a chance to play by them yet, But, i am positive they will really inhance the game, for those of you (like me, like me, like me) who find the "advanced" gameplaya little to "basic"
Yes I am. But the real question is, why aren't you? |

You are very creative. It might be too much for some folks to think about while playing - (sometimes just remembering glyph bonuses is too much), but if you're looking for a realistic, epic game, you're on the right track.
Allow me to make a suggestion. For the weather- make a token, or some sort of "Weather Marker". You could use poker chips, or you could just use slips of paper. Instead of setting the weather each turn, set it at the start of each round, and use the "Weather Marker" to display the weather to everyone so they remember what the weather is for the current round. The less extra information that a player has to remember, the better, I think. |

Oh, the weather is at the beginning of each round, my bad if i worded it wrong. As for weather markers, thats a good idea. Maybe i can print out some little pictures of weather and paste them on glyphs.
Yes I am. But the real question is, why aren't you? |

I was thinking about the weather, and I had another idea. If you wanted to make it even more realistic, think about doing it this way:
There will be six levels of weather. Each number corresponds to a level of weather that's being received right now. 1: Blizzard 2: Rain 3: Clear Sunny Day 4: Fog 5: Wind 6: Sandstorm (or something really severe) Weather starts on 3. At the start of each round, roll a d6. If the number rolled is the same as the number the weather is currently, then the weather stays the same. If the number on the die rolled is higher, then the weather increases by 1. if the number on the die rolled is lower, then the weather decreases by 1. This sort of setup will lead to less chances of having extreme weather conditions as often as nice weather conditions, as well as eliminating the possibility of going from nice calm day to instant blizzard. |

You know, something just hit me. We are all talking about (and working on) making this game more realistic. One thing, though: this is Valhalla, how do we make a fantasy land realistic? just thought I'd bring that up.
It could be raining hamsters. sweet. Yes I am. But the real question is, why aren't you? |

Re: I Went Beyond Custom Terrain: My Custom Terrain Rules
I really like the "weather" aspect. It's got my head thinking about scenerios as well. Great idea.

Acid Terrain used: Swamp Water At the end of each round, all figures on an Acid space receive 1 wound. If a double-spaced figure is on two Acid spaces, they only roll for damage once. Soulborgs may roll a defense die against Acid damage. Jungle Brush Terrain used: Jungle Brush No figure may end their movement on a Jungle Brush space. When falling onto a Jungle Brush space, subtract 2 dice when rolling for falling damage. Figures may use 1 movement to roll an attack die against any Jungle Brush space. If a skull is rolled, they may ignore the movement rules for Jungle Brush. Figures may roll as many times as they want against as many Jungle Brush spaces as they want per turn. Figures may not roll against Jungle Brush more times than their movement. Quicksand Terrain used: Concrete, Sand When falling onto a Quicksand space, subtract 1 die when rolling for falling damage. Once a figure lands on a Quicksand space, roll a 20 sided die. If you roll a 1-12, that figure becomes stuck and must end their movement. Figures may not move off of a Quicksand space unless they first roll a 20 or higher on a 20-sided die or a friendly figure is adjacent to them. (Double-spaced figures only roll for Quicksand when their entire base is on Quicksand spaces.) Moving off of a Quicksand space uses 2 movement. Figures may also be moved by a special ability or glyph effect. Whenever you roll a 20-sided die for any effects of Quicksand, you may add the height of the figure to your roll. Figures which ignore any movement effects of Water do not have to roll for Quicksand. Amazon Water Terrain used: Swamp Water, Water See rules for Deep Water. At the end of each round, roll a 20-sided die for all figures in Amazon Water. If a double-spaced figure is on two Amazon Water spaces, they only roll for damage once. If a 1-5 is rolled, that figure receives 1 wound. Subtract 3 from the roll for every wound already on that figure. Soulborgs never roll for Amazon Water damage. Frigid Water Terrain used: Ice, Water, Ice layered on Water See rules for Deep Water. At the end of each round, roll a 20-sided die for all figures in Frigid Water. If a double-spaced figure is on two Frigid Water spaces, they only roll for damage once. If a 1-5 is rolled, that figure receives 1 wound. Soulborgs may roll a defense die against Frigid Water damage. Toxic Water Terrain used: Swamp Water, Water See rules for Standing Water or Deep Water. Figures that land on a Toxic Water space receive a Poison Marker. Any figures with a Poison Marker roll a combat die at the beginning of each round. If they roll a skull, they receive 1 wound. At the end of each round, roll an attack die for all figures in Toxic Water. If a double-spaced figure is on two Toxic Water spaces, they only roll for damage once. If a skull is rolled, that figure receives 1 wound. Soulborgs never roll for Toxic Water damage. ~ If we knew the meaning of life, life would have no meaning. ~
