What is HUcavalry? And what do you guys recomend for BGK? I edited the item and the flagelants, but I don't think i should post the new ruleset each time it's edited....
I would Love to play it with some one to try it out. I'm a noob at it my self so... Maybe edit the point system a bit... I guess you guys could make a better point system without even playing it. So feel free to edit!
And one more thing... Witch troops am I supposed to edit or where do I put my own created toops to be abel to play with them in multiplayer. Already have the program and it seams quite easy to use =)
And what do you mean with "micromanagement". If the opponent have a mage on the island, arshers are hily effektive! Then they die! There for are gioblin arshers, elven arshers and skelleton arshers good. (they are better in close combat) The Human archery has no chance in close combat, why they are sopposed to be cheep in this game.
Mages can do a lot af damage. But the wizards, shamans, and necromancers are vulnerable and may cost less bocuse of that. Dont' know. I only know that I enyojed the game! =)
I know that the point system kind f sucks... I haven't played with points that much. But i think that this game need it's own system. Some things are better then others in this kind of combat.
This game was developed by me and my brother when we hade played Dark Omen multiplayer to many times and needed another whay of playing it.
So "Dark Omen Duel" is just a whay of playing Dark Omen. It doesn't require any patches, fixes or uppgrades.
The idea is to create a game similar to the gladiatorial games and the map "The Bretonian River" suits the game perfectly.
Each player deploy his/hers armies on each side of the island in the middle of the map so that they easilly can cross the river to the island.
You then fight each other, unit by unit. When one unit is dead or waving the white flag, next unit is sent on the island. This makes Dark Omen similar to a card game. What are you gonna play next?
More detailed rules and a draft for a point system is found below.
=======================How to play & RULES=======================
1. Each player creates an army to the same amount of points.
2. Start a multiplayer game on the map "The Bretonian River"
3. Each player then deploy his/hers armies on each side of the island in the middle of the map so that they easilly can cross the river to the island.
4. Before cklicking "start" command the unit you whant to send in first to move down in the river, to the "entrance" of the island. In this way the players don't know which troop the opponet will start with.
5. Click "start". The choosen troops will now walk down in to the river. When both are ready write "3", "2", "1", "go" and run up on the island with your first troop.
6. One of these units will conquer the other and a new unit has to be sent in by the looser to fight the remainings of the winner. That means that the winner has to leave what's left of his troop on the island to face the next enemy troop.
You are allowed to send in a new unit on the island in three cases:
1) When your unit has died.
2) When your unit is waving the white flag, even if it's still on the island, AND the opponent unit has stopped chasing yours.
3) When the MAJORITY of your troop is down in the whater and the opponent is NOT fighting you. When the mayority of a troop is down in the river, on any side, it has to be moved away from the island and can not enter again. It's out of the game. Which means that you can chase an opponent down in the river to win. (It doesn't have to wave the white flag. But make sure your own troop don't run to far...) The troop is out even if it whent down in the river chasing a troop waving the white flag. This means that both opponents may have to send in troops at the same time! (make sure to move away your troop if it's in the whay for enemy troops to enter the island)
Additionally the troop already on the island, whating for it's new opponent, is not allowed to attack, fire arrows, cast spells, or in any whay deal damage to the unit entering the island untill it's completely out of the whater.
7. Continue in the same whay untill one opponents units are defeted
Aditional rules:
(1) A unit outside the island is not alowed to interfere with the battle on the island. To use a unit outside the island to cast spells, shoot arrows, canonballs, use items, even put dispells on a target in or outside the fight or in any other whay deliberately interfere with the battle is strictly prohibited!
It is also strictly prohibited to deliberately effect the units outside the island. Even your own!
On the other hand, if a troop would be hit by a spell, for instance, and with an equiped item reflect that spell on the enemy it's OK! As well as troops may get hit by miss directed arrows, spells, or fanetics!
(2) You are only allowed to pick up items droped on the island.
(3) You can also play a campaign and you may then gain 2p for wining the game (or what ever the players decides). You then open the saved army as it was before the duel and then buy new stuff with your victory points. You do not keep Items from your last round.
Ok, obviosly I hade some serious problem so I made a total recovary of my computer and istalled the game agan and it works perfectly again!! So happy! Did't even needed any patches or fixes!
I found the propper install file and installed the game with succes.
I then added the intro fix ("Selected" was = 1 and "Softwereselected" was = 228 before i added it) But it did't work
I then added the "no cd patcher" and I can now start the game. In options the colored mouse was off and it whas set to CPU so I did't change anything.
But I'm runing the game with the problems mentioned below:
I can only run the game as administrator. It gets stuck after the intro if i run it normaly.
The game is realy slow! Everything has to load for for several seconds. Even the smallest thing as that the line you keep the mouse over turns red in the main menu. That takes about 2-3 sec.
I can start a campaign and deploy my troops but when I start the game it gets stuck (or has to load for ages, i don't know)
In addition, all sound is gone. No sound in the intro, main menu or the campaign.
I also found out that Dark Omen doesn't exist in "Kontrollpanelen\Program\Program och funktioner" (In english: "Controll panel\Program\Program and functions") But it exists in Windows Start menu/All programs
