Faeryl Viconia Role-playing Challenge

With the release of shadow, we must celebrate the dark theme of FFH.
This runs on Fall from Heaven 2 .30

Faeryl Viconia, queen of the Svartalfar, is the mistress of midnight and mischief. We will play a small contest for role-playing this evil elf. There will be 3 winners, and no real prize. Please try and spell check your work, as it is much easier to read, extra points for interesting reports. Most importantly, put your entries in spoilers! The save is provided at the bottom of the post. Also, state your difficulty level. Screenshots are appreciated! Final Date for reports will be Januarary Twentieth, unless it is decided to be too soon.

Alkazan the Assasin is Alive at the end of the game- 10 points
You built Gibbon Goetia- 10 points

The Start



If you want Deity please tell me There is a five attachments per post rule which prevents me from adding it. In addition, I don't think many players play FfH deity, espescially in a RPC.
 
Reserved for Winners;)

1st Place-?????

2nd Place-?????

3rd Place-?????


Honorable Mentions-

Also, if you enjoy this challenge, tell me so I can design more. I'm looking towards a Luchurip or Sheaim one, but only if this challenge becomes fairly popular.

Also, this is a prototype of FfH RPCs. Thus, it would be appreciated if you could be gentle.
 
Shouldn't you gain 5 Points for each difficulty setting above Noble? Achieving each goal becomes much harder as the difficulty increases. *downloads the Emperor save*
 
Btw how does one take screen shots with Civ? I've never done it before xD

When in game press 'print scr/ sys Rq' button on your keyboard. It should be above insert, and half sized. (or at least it is on my keyboard) The screenshot will appear in My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword/ Screenshots. Then upload the screenshots to the forum, and simply copy & paste the hyperlink. If you have any trouble, tell me.
 
Nice idea! Once I finally finish my current game I think I'll give this a shot.
What is the final date for submissions?
 
I'm thinking that it might be a bit short. But then I am only one. What do others think?

Whats the map size and speed?
 
Darn I might not be able to complete this game as I have a problem with MAFs on Huge maps.

With a huge mapped, epic speed game I would definitely think that Jan 1st would be too soon.
 
I think the points per level should be at least ten, maybe fifteen as it is it only makes sense to dominate on noble, even if you can play on immortal it's not worth the twenty points when you'll be neck and neck or behind the AI for most of the game (even if you win in the end).
 
Cool! I definitely will give this a go then.
And a January 20th end date works for me.


I agree that the difficulty level points are a bit unbalanced. But I have no clue as to how to attempt to normalize the scored based on difficulty. One suggestion would be to drop the in-game score altogether. And base scoring purely on meeting the challenge objectives, roleplaying, and storytelling?

btw I really like the idea of community challenge games. Great idea Rex!
 
I should have picked up Immortal. Something is seriously wrong with the AI even on Emperor. I'm running 50% since I conquered two civs with Hunters and I'm still the second highest on tech, only one AI has Trade and it took 330ish turns for just Runes to be founded. >_>

I'll probably have the challenge done in two days at this rate. :/
 
This could merge well with the story contest... the new date is certainly better, learning Shadow will take so long time that I might be able to start in January.
