Well this thread cost me 50 bucks and potentially several hundred hours of spare time. Thanks for making me aware of this cool little game. 🙂 ---

Apparently the Dark Elves are half done and if you do this: 1. Start a campaign/competition 2. Create a team - don’t buy any players 3. Save 4. Open the DB file for the save game in SQLite 5. Run the following SQL: UPDATE Team\_Listing SET idRaces = 9 WHERE ID = 104 1. Load the save You can play them, but they use the Wood Elf models. ---

Okay, I’ve got it, I’ve been playing. One thing just makes no sense. I just had my Orc team trash the Bright Crusaders 2-0. Fan factor of 4 for both teams. Somehow, I got paid 30KGP while they got 60KGP. Anyone explain that one? -Joe ---

IIRC, 1D6 plus the FAME factor, plus an additional 10k for the winner. The FAME factor is based on the crowd brought by each team (which is, if I remember clearly, 2D6+fan factor, rolled at the start of the game). If one team has more fans than the other, it’s got +1 FAME for the match, and +2 if it has double the crowd or more. ---

If one team has more fans than the other, it’s got +1 FAME for the match, and +2 if it has double the crowd or more. Spot on. I’m not sure if this is in the computer game, but the winner is also entitled to reroll their winnings roll if desired. i.e. if they roll a 2 for winnings they can opt to reroll that but must take the new roll. ---

I smell a shill/clacquer doing sock puppetry & astroturfing. Get a life-- this topic has no place in the Straight Dope forum. ---
