Dwarven Chowder III: Armageddon


Dwarven Chowder III will be another small world (48x96) with large (80 sector)
start islands with two players apiece. These will be 20% mountains so don't
expect anything pretty. The start islands will have 1 deity mil in each sector
to keep break time a bit less hectic. Both starting land units will have 0
mobility. There will be several small islands scattered throughout the world
which should be completely bridgable (with 2 spans) although in no place are
two start island bridgable. There will be four minor modifications to the
standard chainsaw code. First of all, damage incurred by shelling (and bombing)
shall be twice as potent. Second, interdiction against troop/commodity movement
shall cause damage to the sector that the movement occured in. Third, bridge
tech has been lowered to 20. Lastly, the tech logbase has been upped to 2.55.

You say, "But Oh-Supreme-Dwarven-One, that doesn't sound like Armageddon to
me...". Well, since I don't like to drag a game out over a major holiday, such
as Christmas, this will be a 2 update a day (32 ETUs apeice), one update at
11:00 and the other at 23:00 Eastern time. Hopefully this will be a bit
friendlier to the European players. The game will come up on sunday November
27th with the first update occuring monday morning at 11:00am. The game will
unavoidably be down November 30th and December 1st. The last update before the
break will be the November 29th morning update (eastern time). The first update
after the break will be the December 2nd evening update. The game will be down
from 00:01 11/30 to 00:01 12/2. I would like to have this one over before
Christmas, but if it has not ended by December 22nd the game will go down at
midnight on December 22nd and will come back up at 00:01 on December 29th. The reason for the delay being that I will be out of town and therefore unavailable
if something nasty should happen.

This game is not for the weak of heart with two people sharing an effectively
64 sector island and two updates a day. There isn't much free land except for
that on the other side of your island.
