    So I reckon it'd be gun if we had a cricsim league of this, or an alternative free to play thats something like it.

    This is TB's intro to the game

    But basically it's an American football game with fantasy army style characters that knock each other around. You have salary caps, you can level up your guys and you can give them abilities.

    League style of this with a few teams would be pretty gun imo.

    Escath and I have played this against each other and he wrecked me because it was my first game

    On a quick glance it looks more like a Chess game + the things you mentioned.

    So in. Love this game.

    I miss the old days of 1 turn touchdown Elven recievers. So OP.

    Looks interesting
     
  6. Athlai JJD Heads

    But is there a free version :ninja:

    I struggle against bots on easy so don't think ide fair well against you guys :p
     
  8. Arheiner SIA Yates

    Difficulty doesn't mean anything IIRC. Easy bots just play really ballsy and hard bots play extremely defensively, medium is actually the hardest level.

    Not sure if there's a free version.

    I'll look to buy this on Wednesday I reckon, what edition should we look to go in?

    For guys who have played it, how does the league work?
     
  10. Reagan Wheelson RDP Wheelson

    Would only play this is it was free, tbh.
     
  11. Chewie JA Chewie

    I have the Legendary Edition, not the Chaos Edition.
     
  12. Athlai JJD Heads

    Legendary edition is $20 right?

    Whichever, I only have original but I'll upgrade.

    You start off with the same amount of money to build a team and earn more as you go along (Ideally you'll want some rerolls and the best types of players). As players do things in game they level up which enables you to roll for new abilities, or extra stats (Which depends on what you want a player to do)

    There are good races at various stage, i.e. Dwarves at level 1 are sooo strong but slow, because they're tough and so much of their shit has block (get block on anything that isn't a QB-type role.) whilst Chaos scales really well because they have a lot of Strength 4 and mutations, but they've got no technical ability without levels.

    Every race plays different with some generic races.

    For general builds:

    QB roles-Pass-based abilities, Pass and things to avoid intercepts (Kick isn't bad too)
    WR roles-Catch,Safe hands, Sprint, Blodge (Block is hard to get but get block+dodge and they're hard as hell to take down)
    Anything that hits-Block, Tackle, Mighty Blow (dodge if you can get it)

    Also on Chaos, Claw on everything that hits people. Claw is ridiculous at causing injuries.

    So Chaos orrr legendary? And how many are keen?
     
  15. Rocks DN Boland

    I own Chaos FTR.
     
  16. Athlai JJD Heads

    Chaos is probably the way to go. Cribb to buy this for me
     
  17. Arheiner SIA Yates

    So we got 4 ATM? Escath might want in, you can force Ritchie etc. Well on our way.
