I have just finished some updates requested by @Arthadan:

Some additional areas were added !

Moreover, I have added area in some spikes zones ! I thought that for a cost of 2 in movement heroes could enter in these specific areas when they seek refuge !

But heroes can be attacked by adjacent characters !

Nevertheless, they win 1 of protection because the attacker has difficulty to attack consequence of spikes!

@Florentin, don't know if you've missed this post.

 

Team, we also have pending the Ranged attacks Optional Rules I posted in the previous page.

 

What do you think about them?

I work on this yesterday night! That is coming soon!

I understand your point of view but I do not think it is a high priority ! I prefer to work on the other update of the map before to work on this!

I have just written a post to Boris about the possibility he authorize us to use a 3D scan of his miniature: here !

Hope he will read it and he will be agree with the idea !

Sharing this although it will probably not be for sale - too close to the original to avoid copyright issues. It might be doable as a freebie if a company bought it and did not actually sell it, I know a couple of people who have done that with other copyrighted characters....

 

Boris did a couple of sculpts for my miniatures so it might be worth looking into after I get my Kickstarter finally delivered.

 

Yes this is interesting ! But as you said Boris don't want to sell it ! I saw this on this Facebook site for 6 months ! This is sad !

What should be great, if he gave us the opportunity to have a 3D scan of his mini freely to print it and freely !!!

Purpose for him to do this is only to advertise ! The advertising would be better if he would do this !

I think I'm going to go on his Facebook site to post this !

What miniatures are you talking about ? Have you drawings concept ?

I'm dying to see this !

I had forgotten about these until I was looking for a link for Xaltotun - I think some of you might be very interested in these, which can be bought at:

Than you very much @Primeval for the address of the Fenrisgames web site !

This is very interesting !

I have a little explore the site and I found out an other surprise:

My bad, I didn't remeber that. Anyway they look like real bushes, perhaps we can depict it in some other way?

I don't understand why you would like to modify this passage (area 30 & 35)! I think that Conan & Subotaï wanted to bound the riders to pass near the monoliths where Conan is hidden in order to kill them with his axes! But if we put bushes or palissade in the middle of the path, horses would turn around and would avoid the deadly axe...and Conan wouldn't get rid of them at first passage!

I think we should keep as it is the map for this area in order to be quite representative of the movie !

But as expert rules I propose you to create the possibility to offer players to place their own spikes palissade & bushes areas to create his own map !

Getting back to the map, I think this is the last version:

 

 

 

Is that right @Florentin?

 

If so, I have suggestions:

 

Further divide biggest areas:

 

-Area 6: Perhaps leave the pallisade in one area and the part between the pallisade and the monoliths as another?

 

- Area 13 and 11: perhaps divide the monolith part as an area o its own.

 

 -Area 30: I'm not sure about the bushes growing in a perfect line forming a "wall". Could they be moved to form a more irregular shape or remove some of them?

 

I'll make a more detailed proposition for rezoning the monolith field.

 

 

- for area 6, it is not a palissade but spikes ! I divide the space 6 in both spaces: 6 & 35 but spikes are in the border of the both area ! I think they should disturb the rider in the both areas.

- for area 13 & 11, I'm totally agree ! This is a very good idea !

- Area 30 bushes didn't grown in perfect line ! This is Subotaï & Conan that put a spikes palissade that made that with bushes seem to be a wall!

Spike Trap: first Overlord unit entering this area will spring the trap, suffering damage with no armor applied. Trap token remains in game and any unit or Hero moving into the trap area using movement benefit (spending gems) may fall into the revealed trap. Roll and will fall into the pit (suffering damage as above) if rolling less than 2 symbols.

 

The idea is that if you are walking at normal pace (free movement), you can easily avoid the trap once revealed, but if you are running (spending gems to move further) you may fall.

 

What do you think?

 

I'll use this image for the card,not exactly a pit with stakes but it will do.

 

It Sounds good for me! 

It would be great to have an other picture... maybe some capture from the scene in Conan the destroyer at the beginning? 

This is beautiful @Primeval! Great work!

What about to use specific cards to add skills to heroes for specific scenario ? 

There is here a post that was created to add a new hero skill ! 

For now, this is only in french!

This skill could allow to manage à lot of situations!

As an exemple,  special rules used it for fear effects management!

You could do this with equipment even, some of the weapons I made for the Kull project do this, a spear to add reach for example.

 

Good idea! 

For the Subotaï ' s spear and other equipments! 

What about to use specific cards to add skills to heroes for specific scenario ? 

Hi guys,

Have you received my .rar yesterday evening? 

What about the use of conditions like in imperial assault? 

What about special events that could occured during the game for a short or long time and that obly OL and heroes to adapt their strategy?

Weather effects:Wind, storm..., global magical spell, external disruption: insects, animals, natural events: earthquake, fire...

Thanks for the kind words  - I actually have changed it up a bit - still has the ability shown above but wanted to make it reflect the name a bit more, so here is the new one, which actually might be altered for your scenario to work better - maybe instead of nearest chest, you could have the nearest token picked up and count that as the character looting his dead victim.

I love this rule! 

Thank you very much @Primeval!

This rule will become the extended rule n°3!

Feel free to propose new rules,  ideas or concepts I am fan of your creations (tiles, cards, tokens, map....)!

Some beautiful and rare pictures ! A lot are coming from a wonderful Facebook site : Iron Arnold ! This is a very interesting site !!!

I found this picture yesterday evening !

Is it the one that was used for the tile ?

A satisfaying response was given: here!

Thank you!

I think it's very good to collect all the ideas we talked about here, to try and elaborate an advanced rules section.

 

Honestly I'm not so convinced about the idea of dismounting and mounting that make horses more similar to motorbikes: this scenario sets a battle, where dismounting means having no time to secure your horse, who would probably flee in more quiet areas... 😯 lucky him!

 

Some other ideas are nice and very interesting to try, but I find a bit difficult to figure out  advanced/alternate rules, without having tested yet the base game and, after many plays, established a good and solid standard rules.

 

By the way, I'd like to go on collecting here all the others ideas, so we can have all the material ready to discuss the advanced rules, once the base one is ready, tested and confirmed, or/and eventually changed.

 

I have also some other ideas in my mind (Valeria), but I'd prefer to move step by step, finishing and testing the 'standard' game first: I'm sure that many more will come, this way. 😉

 

 

I understand your words they are wise!

Nevertheless, If you have ideas I suggest you to write them because good ideas often go away  !

It's better to write à bad idea than to risk losing à good idea! 

Conan the Barbarian internet links

This post will be dedicated to specific Internet link to the "Conan the Barbarian"'s 82's movie so if you have good address just give them !

Conan Wikia

Conan Comple list

Chronique Némédienne (in french)

Conan Comple list forum

Extended hero cards n°2 :  Subotai - the archer

for the Conan the Barbarian's scenario: The battle of the Mounds.

Extended rule n°2 : Arrows management - Subotai's arrows

for the Conan the Barbarian's scenario: The battle of the Mounds.

 Subotai is so overloaded with his heavy armor that the has decided to place some arrows in strategic points instead of carrying them with him and to risk to lose them while running.
- He has a limited numbers of arrows for his bow in this scenario, 15 arrows only
- Any arrow token taken by a character with a bow will increase the arrow number by 1 (arrow tokens are placed by the heroes, along with some more items, see the following special rule, "the dead will help us").

- Only one arrow token can be carry at one time by Subotai.

- Some arrows stake can be set in some strategic places to easily shoot the attackers!

- The gem cost to catch an arrow is 0.

What are you thinking of this @Xaltotun ? Would you like to change things ?
