iLonie and grobbendonk, my awful arena warrior is ready to join you, and I took the liberty of giving our team a name that I thought was funny for about two seconds. Please hit me up on PMs if you want to discuss builds, and feel free to change the name to something you feel would be more fitting for our team. I have no idea what I am doing.

Also... Maugrim made it clear that he'd be out of town for the weekend, but would update his fighter as soon as he got back. That's cool, we'll wait. But fluppet, ZeeToo, and Goodchild, please update your fighters! If they aren't ready in the next 24 hours, we may have to give the fighters to another player. But I'm sure it won't come to that. Or if your current build is by design, let me know via my e-mail address in the Private Game Servers thread! And lurkers, get ready to claim a fighter just in case I'm wrong about all this being unnecessary. We've given the players fair warning.

Maugrim posted:Team 11, that's ZeeToo and perpetulance, I have limited net access until Sunday night but will try and keep an eye on this thread on my dodgy old phone. If you come up with a kickass strategy and want me to build my fighter a certain way I will do so, I suspect the main feasible builds for a dark gnome are either ranged expert or the default small-melee-fighter build of minimal armour and maximal dodge. I have ideas, but I'm not completely sure if my ideas are still valid in a new build of DF. Any which way for us to all discuss this? Or should I just share it all here? We're deep in testing phase, after all, so trade secrets probably shouldn't be. perpetulance posted:
Also this is fantastic.

ZeeToo posted:Did Maugrim already decide not to spend any points, Jazzimus? Because I'm looking at Gnomelette's page and it looks like no points spent. No, he decided to go on vacation with his fambly over the weekend, and said that he would update when he got back.

I'd like to encourage everyone to also bet all their hard earned cash on the fights. I ensure you, team Nonindicative Name is by far the jokiest and weakest team around and everyone should bet on the other guys. Why, I will be surprised if we don't trip and comically kill ourselves in every round.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are a bunch of people that would set up a fighter right away... edit: jazzimus, you can see all the fighters, right? Is my fighter build really stupid? It's my first one, and I'm not sure if I'm missing anything crucial, or don't have enough armor skill or something. It looks a lot different from the other two on my team, and I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong. Is level 1 kicking a waste of points? Should I go for skills before toys, or? edit: [it's harold bird] Ignite Memories fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Aug 9, 2014 |

Ignite Memories posted:On the other hand, I'm sure there are a bunch of people that would set up a fighter right away... Probably so. But Maugrim promised some of that good old dry British Monty Python humor, and I'm looking forward to it. Ignite Memories posted:edit: jazzimus, you can see all the fighters, right? Yes.

It looks a lot different from the other two on my team, and I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong. It's hard to say exactly how effective it is, since Vox Nihili did most of the work to balance the fights and I've mostly just been running the fights... and I don't want to announce your build strategy to everyone reading the thread... but if I recall correctly how the last team arena thread went, the approach you've taken is somewhat better than average if you plan on doing the (missile? melee? wrestling? I'm pretty sure I can tell) approach I assume you're taking. Which is very promising for this particular tournament, since a lot of players seem to have submitted somewhat experimental builds.

How does the armor skill work? Is there some way to gauge how effective it is and how encumbered your fighter is?
