Welcome to the KnightGuild forum.  KnightGuild is a variant of Midgard run on the KnightGuild platform and includes most of the things from the original game - when Delta ran it, with a number of changes.  Questions can be directed to support@knightguild.com.  The Web site - www.knightguild.com.  We also have a Discord Server - KnightGuild at  https://discord.gg/WH9wsy6mKH

We are currently in beta and running turns.  This game has been rewritten from scratch using C#, SQL 2019, and Access 2016.

Galac-Tac galaxy #113 is a standard-sized galaxy with a two-week turnaround and is still looking for more players. But galaxy #129 has been recently opened as well, and it is set up for a smaller number of players running on a three-week turn schedule. We have players in both games anxious to get started, so sign up to play as soon as you can. (Galaxy #129 will hopefully be able to begin first.)

Breaking news for those interested in or playing Galac-Tac! There are a few game improvements coming up which will be implemented in all future galaxies of Galac-Tac. (Existing galaxies in play will NOT change their current rules!) These changes are solely in the area of resolving ship-to-ship combat and are being applied in order to make the Drone and T-Type weapon systems more valuable, which should enhance overall game balance. Full details are available on-line in the Galac-Tac Rulebook (pp14-15,22-24), but to summarize these changes here...

T-Type Missiles (beyond Tech Level 1) and Drones will now do more damage than before and will hit their targets a little more often. However, the most useful change for these weapon systems is that they will no longer choose their targets based on the same criteria as ship-based P-Type weapons, which prefer to fire at ships of about their own size. Instead, T-Types will target the largest (and presumably slowest) enemy ships first, regardless of the size of the ship launching them, using their greater power and speed to inflict as much damage as possible for their expense. In addition, because T-Types consume costly expendable ammunition, they will now not fire at all on small, fast, hard-to-hit targets (such as fighters) to save on unnecessary construction and resupply needs.  Drones will target the smallest (and presumably fastest) ships (and other in-flight weaponry) first, using their extreme speed to its best advantage to damage otherwise difficult-to-hit targets. This makes better combat use of both specialty weapon types, so they can be more productively included in ship designs. Mixing weapon types in a large warfleet will result in even better combat advantages than before.

These changes should allow more effective fleets to be assembled for specific combat situations, and thus make combats more successful by intelligently opposing strengths and vulnerabilities. Solo (practice) games, as always, may be used at your leisure to try out new ship and fleet design strategies to see which works out best for you with the new combat updates and to plan your new military strategies.

New galaxies are already filling, awaiting the specified minimum number of players to start. Galaxy #113 is a standard-sized Galac-Tac galaxy on a two-week turn schedule. Galaxy #129 has been recently opened and is expected to be a smaller-than-usual galaxy running on a slower, three-week turn schedule. Please feel free to sign up for either (or both) of these galaxies so we can get them started soon.

Hello all, I saw a blurb about Midgard on Wikipedia "did you know?" section of all places, which led me down a rabbit hole ultimately to this forum!

I've never played a play by mail game, other than some advanced squad leader thru vassal. My background is in tabletop rpgs and wargaming. I'm looking for some place to get started! I've been to tribenet's website, I'm waiting to hear back from them after sending them an email. On Midgard website I made an account but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm also interested in other games that are out there as well.

Just wanted to stop by say hello and hopefully get some advice how I can quickly get into some games and get started playing!

Why is the forum asking me to login from scratch (even though I tell it to remember me) every time I come here? Is it just me or does it happen to everyone?

Also, I've been getting the message "Authorization code mismatch. Are you accessing this function correctly? Please go back and try again." when I log in, even though it successfully leaves me logged in. I'm not quite sure what to make of that.

I bought an Empyrean Challenge rulebook from Noble Knight games a while back. It included errata, a couple of newsletters, and sample orders/turn results.

I'm looking for additional docs on it. Examples of initial setups, orders, and the turn logs would be great. Anyone have these and would be willing to upload scans to a Google docs drive?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's a rumour sheet detailing a border skirmish between two factions within the game

A special thank you goes out to Ramblurr, who recently fixed the forum problems, and got the site back up and running, again.

Thanks extra much!!

Why can't I get the "report spam" button to do anything on my system? Is anyone else having this problem?

Someone calling themselves "annesmith" has just posted a bunch of garbage on the Galac-Tac group and I'd like to be able to report it to the admins so they can remove it and block them.
