And just in case: anyone interested in being a reserve and ready to step in on short notice if needed? Then please send me a PM.

Welcome, Rico! So now we’re full at six players.

Not sure if it works in theme for this campaign, but it could be considered a garrisoning or logistics penalty. In this campaign, it could very well represent the Diadochi uniting against the one of them becoming too powerful; á la Seleucus, Ptolemy, Lysimachus, and Cassander supporting each other ...

Yup, it’s the challenge and changed dynamics of the game.

Great! Welcome, carpenkm, Aetius39, and DIVM.

One last slot available…

… If you, like me, love the Diadochi Wars, want to participate and can commit to abiding by the rules as well as making attack declarations and concluding battles in a timely manner, then please post here.

Agree! Like the HBO Rome series. Or the Alexander movie, without the dyed hair and the over-acting.

While I'm not all that keen on setting up a handicap system, clearly, some players are better than others, and to provide a balanced and happier experience, some sort of adjustment is probably a good idea. The question naturally arises, what do you base it on? Practically speaking, the Slitherine E...

That's 9, right? For half effect or something, and 6 range for full effect?

Hi kronenblatt, I'm interested: when would be the starting date of the campaign? how many days are given per round? Best regards, DIVM We’ll start as soon as we’re full (4 or 6 players). For a round, assume roughly one month: 3-4 weeks for the battles plus 1 week for attack declarations and admin.

I didn't know Steve and never played him, but I'm very sad to read this. My condolences.

I've been thinking some time about the line-of-sight range. Base game's is 20, which to me is too long. What would be a challenging yet enjoyable range for MP games? I'm thinking 10 or maybe 7, which could make a true difference to MP and add more nerve. 5 may be too low, but is worthwhile consideri...

I join most of the "official" tournaments unless I'm very busy at the time or I really dislike the theme. For forum's tournaments, this is my 3rd or 4th edition of the HOML. I dropped out of the TDC two editions ago because I found the army selection to be very unbalanced (it is not restr...

I am not really a campaign person. I think the most off-putting part is the length of it. 3 months plus is too long for me. What would the average length would be? If there were shorter campaigns maybe that would encourage more players. Thanks, that’s a relevant aspect. Added it to my list above.

Some questions Which historical eras are of most (and least) interest in campaigns? Would armies tailor-made for the campaign increase or reduce appeal? What parts of rules are the most interesting and off-putting, respectively? Thoughts on handicap systems anyone? I’m toying with the idea of givin...

I would very much like to participate. I love Diadochi wars and I already played in two of your tournaments/campaigns.

Excellent: you’re welcome!

Yes, leagues enjoy the advantages of offering what people very often come here for, i.e., playing FoG2 MP games, a very structured approach with set time schedules and so on, and a good way of matching player skills in divisions. Campaigns on the other hand need for players to enjoy both FoG2 MP gam...

Am I correct in my observation that the number of players here at the forum has been reduced quite a lot during the last year, few years, or so? The activity in this Ancients' Tournament & Leagues sub-forum seems very low (and even more so in Medieval's) with players mostly interested in playing...

Kicked off again!
