Hmmm...
Well, I am solidly in the camp...Good point. Hmmm...<br />Well, I am solidly in the camp of "Jacks need an upgrade" (aren't most DB players in that camp?). I think it might be a nice incentive to play a team with a few Jacks. Of course, the real problem is the Rebs. <br />Ugh.......<br />More thought is required on this.Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012390006791681386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411445715133894966.post-12146464443716952142015-10-28T14:47:28.749-04:002015-10-28T14:47:28.749-04:00Jacks only for rebuilding upgrades means no Veer-m...Jacks only for rebuilding upgrades means no Veer-myn, Judwan, or Nameless (not a big pain there)... any others?

Matter of fact, I might prevent it altogether. But in all honest, I have never seen anyone actually do that in person, it's a total dick move. We usually just pick a few MVPs to to be available, rotating them out every round.<br /><br />Banning: I just don't have the heart to ban that many teams. I honestly think that the Rebs can be mitigated, and the Mutants, though obviously there are strong builds, are an expensive team to create and maintain. And for the Hobgoblins, I know a second Hulk could very well be brutal, but I am not sure it is worth banning. I could be wrong on each account though. The Nameless are just so very good, and the Convicts put the Nameless to shame - those two teams are just head and shoulders above the rest even out of the gate. <br /><br />Achievements: I might just go with one of the suggestions from the Season 4 book, "... league organisers may find tracking these Achievements over the whole league is an<br />amusing way to add minor prizes for the Coaches to fight over."<br /><br />We Can Rebuild Him: I have a good feeling about this one advancement for a Jack only thing.

MVP: You should double MVP price: Number...Hello :)<br /><br />MVP: You should double MVP price: Number 88 just for 10k of inducements is a joke :)<br />I have ever seen some coaches, who fired players to have more MVP, and often it's more interesting to have a rookie team with inducements than a veteran one with 210Mc value.<br /><br />Team to banned: Very tough question... In my Opinion: rebs, convicts, Hobgoblins and Mutants. Nameless, Kalishi and Asterian are very good too, but not Overpowered.<br />Why Hobgoblins? In tournament, it's a B+ team, in a league: A+ . two 360° Hulk and stench everywhere is very hard to deal with and can slaughter the league.<br />Why Mutants? Some specific builds can allow you a Gotcha! Guard and to other Guard with Threatening (one with 3+ Str and one with 4+). Opponent Jacks have no dice... I have tested a specific build with theses 3 Guards, 2 Jacks, 2 Strikers, it's tough!<br /><br />Achievements: Rich get richer... 3+ players will have achievements, others not.<br /><br />We Can Rebuild Him: Gotcha! on an Hobgoblin? :p Well, Your idea is interesting. I'm waiting for your comment on it. :)<br /><br />No Hacking, No Fans.. yes, good choiceLamanzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974808111424265347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411445715133894966.post-19218079080288200972015-10-22T18:42:48.749-04:002015-10-22T18:42:48.749-04:00I understand the apprehension about using the mech...I understand the apprehension about using the mechanite and mutant upgrdes, I have it too. That is why I want to try it on a VERY limited basis - jacks only and only one per team. I still think it might be a bit OP, but in that very limited way, I am open to trying it out. Maybe at a cost of 10 MC too.<br /><br />In our last league, the Asterians and Nameless crushed everyone else. Might have been play styles, hot dice, or better coaches, who knows. But with bringing in new players (and hopefully the league will have a few), I am very worried about some of the heavy-handed teams crushing their dreams in the hands of vets. I will have to think more on this though - and discuss it with the co-sponsor for the league.<br /><br />Forge Fathers models with Brokkr stats and rules is what I was meaning on that - like the S1/S2 corporation teams. <br /><br />Income... I had forgotten how that can become a weird issue. Ugh. I think I had blocked it out of mind. :-) At one point, I had thought about only allowing a single upgrade between games (aside from refilling your roster). IDK though, totally open to suggestions there.Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012390006791681386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411445715133894966.post-78950043041579589602015-10-22T13:29:21.147-04:002015-10-22T13:29:21.147-04:00Personally, I feel the mechanite and mutant rules ...Personally, I feel the mechanite and mutant rules outside of their own teams are way too cheap. You can have a team of Skill 3+ Veer-myn for a relatively small cost. In my leagues, I would ban these. They defeat the point of growing and cultivating your own team.<br /><br />I don't like that any team should be banned; I think if you feel the Convicts need something then artificially boosting their ranking as you've suggested would be a good idea to try out. Otherwise, just allowing the opponent to Dodge a Shock would go a long way to balancing them (but be too powerful for Veer-myn/Kalyshi? Discuss!) I think Nameless and Asterians come down to personal taste, I've seen leagues with Nameless dominated by Season Two Robots and Teratons! <br /><br />What do you mean by Forge Fathers using Brokkr rules? Same setup as FF but Brokkr Abilities? Tournament packs now are letting people share the models like the S1/S2 corporation teams, I would go along with that.<br /><br />Are you changing around how income works at all?pete the pagan-gerbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016474826444280367noreply@blogger.com
