Post by: Klaxas on August 05, 2012, 12:39:36 AM: i actually dont have any questions off the bat, plenty of examples seems like a pretty tight and well explained ruleset as a long time gamer i am very impressed.

Post by: Borg on August 05, 2012, 06:22:44 AM: Hi,
On page 17 you can read :
"Full Actions
If your creature does not move, you may
choose one of these four actions:"
However there are only 3 actions listed.
I guess the fourth action is "do nothing" ?

Post by: Dragkin on August 05, 2012, 06:38:26 AM: Eh, where do you see page 17? I only got the first 10 pages or so. Is the full version up somewhere?

* Found out where the rules are, sadly its blocked by the Great Fire Wall of China :( Guess more waiting for me

Post by: 1unatic on August 05, 2012, 06:39:44 AM: Hi Borg,

Nice catch - there are only 3 possible full actions that a creature may take if it does not move. (on pg 15 of rule book, pg 17 of .pdf)

I'll get this fixed for our online rules document.

Thanks!

Post by: 1unatic on August 05, 2012, 07:30:16 AM: Hi Dragkin,

Just click on the rule book image for now, or use this link (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5513385/RULES/MAGE%20WARS%20RULES.pdf) to access it.

Sorry for the trouble. Ignore the "Part 1" attachment posted at the bottom of the page - I'll try to get this fixed soon, no doubt it is causing much confusion.

Post by: Gigan on August 05, 2012, 12:31:59 PM: Thanks, guys! We put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the rulebook.

We proofread it SO many times, it's funny that there are still typos! :)
Title: Re: The Rules Have Been Posted!
Post by: Klaxas on August 05, 2012, 01:19:51 PM: yeah but not many and everything is very well presented which is much more important than the typos. (unless they are extremly glairing and rule changeing typos which there are none that i can see)

Post by: Borg on August 06, 2012, 09:04:36 AM: Battle Example Brogan vs Hydra :

"Step 2: Avoid Attack
Thankfully, the Hydra has no defenses, so nothing happens in this step."

Even if the Hydra had a defense it would still be useless since Brogan's attack is "unavoidable", correct ?

Correct! :)

I think my play test group read over it at least 3-4 times each. But when we finally got done we were hoping we got a majority of the typos.
