2.5 Campaign Types & Modes

Campaign Types

Closed Round Robin

• Every warband will face each other warband once before any repeats.
• Warbands may only face each other if they have had the same number of games.
• Play a fixed number of games determined at the start of a campaign.
  • Eg. For four players decide on 6 games per player. This means that you will face each opponent twice.

Player awards

A great addition to a closed game is to make each player fill out a survey for awards. Eg.

• Best thematic warband
• Funnest opponent warband
• Most victorious warband
• Most cursed warband

Open

Open campaigns do not have a fixed number of games or require every warband to be on equal footing.

• You may reset your warband back to the start at any point.
• You may create multiple warbands to play.
• New warbands may enter the campaign at any time.
• Warbands never really retire. They always yearn to go back for more Wyrdstone.

The natural lifecycle of hero & henchmen death will pleatu the strength of any warband. Tracking warband rating is vital in this gamemode for underdog bonuses.

Campaign Modes

Casual

Casual games are great for shorter campaigns like playing an entire campaign over a weekend or at a convention. Casual games are also great for playing solo.

In casual games make the following changes:

• Stop counting experience
  • Heroes level up every game
  • Henchmen level up every second game
• Henchmen groups are eternal
  • You may only have one henchmen group per henchmen type
  • There is no longer a limit of 5 units for a single henchmen group
  • You can always recruit back into a henchmen group regardless of their experience
• Warband rating calculation changes
  • Each hero is worth 10
  • Each henchmen is worth 5
  • Each hired sword is worth their listed amount
• Exclude Miscellaneous Equipment from purchasing options
• No two heroes may ever take the same skill twice in a single warband
