• For Honour!

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Mon Nov 6 17:14:00 2023
    Could we get some more people in there? I'm level 5 Now, and the closest person is Ratz at level 2.

    I'd like to get into some more InterBBS games!

    For your BBS or as a user? Which ones do you play? I've got league10 and league618 games at shsbbs.net, but most aren't very active. For Honour is pretty fun, but barely IBBS. It just shares scores.

    L618 IntrLord is at least somewhat active... someone keeps killing my
    character anyway. ;) There is League 1 Lordnet, too, that goes through periods of activity.

    I think the point of For Honour's IBBS is that whoever has the highest
    score at the end of the league's game period is the winner and gets
    bragging rights. In L21 anyway, it has been a long time since I have seen anyone exercise those rights.

    On a related note, I could never figure out how one actually "wins" For
    Honour. I still have a local game that is running the "pre 1.9" version
    and have got to the point where I am out of trainers. I figured something would happen then, like a final fight against the dragon or somesuch, but
    that does not appear to be the case.



    ... Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?

    For Honour is very unfinished, I would have liked to have had a way to win, interbbs battles, better balance etc. I'm over it now though, so unless some one picks it up and makes some PRs it will probably stay as is.

    I got tired of working on stuff that people had little to no interest in playing, it's been on fsxnet interbbs for years, and i think 99% of people who set it up do so for their "users".

    Most people want LORD or BRE and that's fair enough, for most people bbsing is about nostailga / living in the past.

    I've started working on a new door again, it's similarish to for honour, and I'd love some feedback, suggestions etc. It's not finished though so I'm not distributing it for the time being. You can play what I have so far on my bbs (scove.talismanbbs.com:2323) it's called "The Drowned Reef"

    Sounds like, as is, I have "won" the local game and need to reset it. ;)

    I regularly play the pre-1.9 version I have online. I also try the 1.9
    version but have difficulty getting out of the "no gold and no potions"
    trap that I ultimately work my way into. I have stayed out of it before and was doing ok until an ibbs reset.

    I can understand not wanting to work on something you think no one is
    really using. There were things I wanted to do on one of my systems but
    the few users I have are only there to play Yankee Trader or OOII so I feel those changes would only be noticed by me. That makes them very back
    burner projects.

    Most people want LORD or BRE and that's fair enough, for most people bbsing is about nostailga / living in the past.

    Galactic Dynasty is fairly BRE-like and, unlike BRE, was being actively developed.

    I will have to check that out! Thanks!

    FSXnet League 21 has Galactic Dynasty, For Honour, and BRE.

    That's been me... :) I bragged that I was the only one above level 2 at the last reset, level 11!

    You could join League 10 or League 618. They've got a lot of the same games (League 10 also has the M&S games), but aren't very active. Still fun to
    take place in, though.

    Challenge me! I am almighty in this game! Some hints: Know when to run
    away, use potions and stock up on potions. If you can do those well (and
    don't enter a cave unless you have 20+ luck) you'll succeed!

    My problem with the latest For Honour (v1.9) is that it is difficult to
    keep running away. You have to beat something in order to get any gold,
    and it is really difficult to beat your first critter when you only start
    with three potions and zero gold.

    It'd be nice if at least one or two of the critters (like a cattipillar or sparrow) was easier to beat like in the prior versions. ;)

    I sent in an application so hopefully I'll hear something back soon!

    They're certainly easier than the novice warrior! I run from that... Fluffy kitten isn't too hard.
