Mystical world

[ChaosRider]

8 survival + ffa scenarios.
4 scenarios for 2-4 and 4 scenarios for 2-8 players where you have to survive waves of clones.
First player can set (min/max):
- Waves number (it's automatic counted and depends of stuff below)
- Last wave power (it's automatic counted and depends of stuff below)
- First wave power (20/50)
- Wave max power (70/150)
- Power increase (1/20)
- Turns require to spawn clones (3/7)
- Set from which side get clones:
a) from own side
b) from only enemies sides
c) from random side
- Get gold per clone kill (on/off)
- Set random bonus on castle & keep hexes (on/off)
a) +1 strike
b) +1 damage
c) +10% hp max & hp
d) +10% random resistance (max 80%)
e) +10% random terrain defense (max 80%)
f) +1 movement point
g) -10% max xp
i) +5 xp
j) +5 gold
k) random new weapon
l) random new weapon special
m) random new recruit
n) random new ability
o) -1 movement cost on random terrain.
- Set % value for getting bonuses in castle and keep (5/100)
- Set destroying castles at the end (yes/no).

Labels set in castle and keep are set after adding bonuses to units (at turn start). This is important info because in addon 'Bonus Spam' labels are set before adding bonuses to units (at turn end). Labels from 'Mystical World' use '*' in labels.
Gold per clone kill is equal clone level.
Waves are created from clones, that are getting better with each next wave.
After last wave players locations will open, so they can fight each other.
For now 8 maps with different terrain type, what will be in future I don't know! If you wan't different terrain or land use other my mode that is called ''Map Randomizer''. Anyway, have fun! I hope you find no bugs in this addon and you'll enjoy it!

Tried this and was surprised to see it is based on afterlife which is a fave of mine. However there's a small problem with the bonuses being limited to units in the keep/castle because it causes there to be only one fairly obvious strategy to win. While afterlife has always been about defense this takes that to an extreme and a kinda boring one.

The other aspects though are really fascinating. 4 sides and the opponents coming from what seems to be a rotatation of the other 3. The red tint on the units is also quite neat. Some unusual sprites do look odd but most are fine.

It has a lot of potential if the problem with the single boring winning strategy can be fixed.

Replay of done game/scenario. I was playing on the 8 players map. With ais, only 3 of 7 survived until impossible mountains fall down. 200 gold at start for each side. Default era with dunefolks. Random faction on the start (it picked me orcs lol).

And another game. This time with randomly picked drakes. 200 gold at start for each faction (300 gold for ai sides). Game with 3 other human players. I wish I could host a game with 8 players in ! This could be interesting. Next won game.

After many games with ai I decided to decrease hp bonus from 15% to 10% and also add option to destroy castles at the end what should help in choosing best player/side at the game end/when mountains falls down.

I like the hexagonal maps. Playing one currently. The strategy of just sitting in your castle doesn't work here so that's great. One thing that's tricky is the small size. The clones can become so numerous that they appear behind your line. Of course one must draw back the line when that starts to happen. Wondering though if there is enough room for the last wave...
