New set idea

Indeed all graphics i have sofar are taken from spellforce.
The basic idea is more or less the following
The start set will contain 4 tribes (humans,elfs,orcs.dwarfs)
Each tribe has 6-7 units (warriors) and 5-7 buildings and a titan. (as mentioned). Next per tribe 3 card are available.
A settlement can be turned into a tribehome. (like the citadel of T&D) (1 VP)
A tribehome can be turned into headquarter (2 VP)
A headquarter can turned into a palles (3VP)
To be able to "enhance' the tribehome tribe ponts need to be scored, which are available on the units/buildings.
Each player can build more tribes in his kingdom Each tribe has 2 friend tribes which can live together in the kingdom and 1 enemy tribe that can never be build together.
Eg.

Humans ->friend elf/dwarf
elf -> dwarf/orcs
dwarf ->orcs/humans
orcs -> elf/dwarf.

A condition to win the game is at least 1 tribe palles and 1 tribe titan

Next some cards need to be made to conflict tribewars...

hola,

when i add up all the cards the schoul be in a first set, i get the sum of at least 60 cards for 4 tribes, even without any action or '?'-cards.
this is far to big.

i would propose to include only 2 tribes in the first set but add some general action- and '?'-cards. this would add up to max. 40-45 cards wich is still big, but not TOO big. and you would get a complete working playable set.

then this could be followed by 4 add-on with one tribe each, completed
with some tribe-specific action-card. so an add-on would include approx. 20 -25 cards.

additionally there could be some rules for playing with more than 2 players or for playing with 'mixed' tribes...

size Will probably be a problem indeed.
Kunst&muziek also is a huge set, but it's a great set to play.
The basic set should be playable with 1 tribe each, so if the basic set only contains 2 tribes, some room, for event/action cards is left.....

Well lets see if i can make things a little more clear (don't know if anyone follows this, but i'll give it a shot anyway ;))
The initial set will contain 4 tribes. Each tribe has
3 developmentcards
4 units that contain Tribepoints
4 expansioncards (also with tribepoints)
1 titan (superunit)
2 actiecards

The basic idea is that a settlement can be replaced by a tribesettlement if a certain condition has been forfilled (different per tribe. eg. human tribe requires at least 2 tradepoints)
In this tribesettlement Tribe units and buildings can be placed. if you have reached 3 tribe points the tribesettlement can be replaced by a tribecity which can contain even more tribe unit/building.
I you reached 6 tribe points teh titan can be build and if you reach upo to 8 tribe points the tribemetropool can be build (a condition to win the game)
Next some events will take place on the robber-dicethrow.
And some general event-card will be included.
2 expantion sets are already defined.
- 3 extra tribes (darfelfs Dwargs and the undead)
- a Magic expantion

so far.
you'll be hearing from me...

of course were (or at least i am) still following the thread.
the new set(s) seem to develope quite quickly so far, but it (they) also seem to leave catanian grounds more and more.
of course i am the last to mourn about this, as you all know i like to expand the catanian principies and to explore new never-thought possibilities, so move on with that set(s). i hardly can wait for a first version to test..
