Test Game (pre-beta)

Agreed. Maybe the Fool should have a 75% chance to raise the INF by +0.1, a 50% percent chance for +0.2, and a 25% percent chance for a +0.3 increase...

The cost may still be a little high, even for those percentages.

What if it didn't require and order/standing order to make it happen? Once you get a fool, he consumes 3k gold every turn, offering the above chances for increase influence. No option to not pay him. If you run out of money and cannot pay, he leaves.

Grr. I can't find the link to the new orders app anywhere. Can someone provide?

I like how things are going so far and really see an advantage to newer and experienced players using this order checker.  being able to just select an order and see what is available and it helps you actually fill out your orders to make sure you have them correct is huge I think.  

I am having trouble with what seems like the order checker is not recognizing my nomads.  I am getting note like
-Group Consumption (Food): Unable To Lookup Brigade Nomads (Group 1NO), Will Skip
-when I try to issue a 699 order I do not have the option to select my 5th brigade and when I verify it says I do not have the brigades I am trying to transfer.

from alpha
I noticed in the 3rd cycle notes is still has no 976,977 or 978  I believe these are allowed
also 979 I believe requires a level 7 now.

Had a chance to fix this issue. Press your browser's refresh button on the main home page to pick up the latest version and let me know if your Nomads are now accepted.

About the agent search orders, 976-978, they are still valid and may be issued though 977 (for groups) is really the only one that you should do than the new 979. The reason is that advanced recon 979 is always done at agent-1 (no matter what your agent's actual level is) so it won't detect masked, ambushing, invisible groups at that low level. Issue 977 with a higher level agent to pick up enemy groups: agent-4 for masking, agent-7 for ambushing, agent-11 for invisible.

I'm keeping the others around (976 and 978) in case the rules change in the future where hidden pc's or special encounters may require higher agent levels to detect.

There is a new version of the Banana Mapper that should deal with 3rd cycle emmies only moving 9 squares.
It also automatically updates the explored areas for 710,720,976 orders.

When you get a chance, please snarf a copy and put it up on you main page.

Thanks

I feel like I have asked this many times, and some people are clearly having no problems, but I cannot locate instructions on how to use the bananas map.  I can download the map, and then have absolutely no clue what to do.  I see nothing on the map program itself that provides a link or page for instructions on its use.  I have checked in Alamaze Rules and Resources, Active Game Signup, The Choosing, Test Game, etc.  Cannot find them.   Can someone post here and under Rules and Resources.  Also, I think some people are seeing a Map tab or way to download it from the new order entry - I am not seeing a Map tab or a link.  On the map itself, I see no icons, so have no idea how to update it or refine it.

For Banana Parser instructions, click on the link on the old order checker login (titled: Parser Instructions): http://fallofromegame.com/alamazeorders/

There will be a link to this and other documentation for the new site later on.

I just updated the new site with a Summary page (http://www.kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/s...1#pid33411). Please review your orders for the turn before leaving the site.

I can't load third-party software on my computer, so I can't use the bananas parser as currently configured.

Used the new order entry system without any significant problems. Saved on every tab. Had some minor issues with figuring out how to do both a 699 and a 720 with the same group, but eventually figured out how to add a new order. There was one instance where a set of group movement orders didn't save. But I redid it and then it saved fine.

The pull-down for specific squares is a bit clunky but other than that I think all of it will be very helpful, especially for newer players. The entire experience ended up taking quite a bit longer than the order entry system for Second Cycle, but I imagine that is just because I'm much more familiar with the old system (and because I've mostly memorized the common order numbers by now).

After getting the issue with not seeing my kingdom fixed. I was doing my turn on the order checker and realized I did not even have my turn up only the map and order checker. By having such detailed menus I only needed to read my turn and could then issue the orders without constantly looking through it. It did take me about an hour to enter my orders which I am sure I will get fast at. Normally takes me about 20 mins once I start issuing orders

Issues I ran into.
Kept dropping one of my political moves. It would not always be the same Emmy that would get removed.
I was not able to activate my 5NO using 699 or 702. Was not listed in the pull down menu.
