Quest of the Great Jewels [Flying Dutchman Games]

If you have the initialization file (originally called INITS.DAT), that would be very helpful. It contains data such as the attack factors matrix, low and high tax and levy rates for provinces, etc.

How do you want me to get you the files? Email?

Please send by email to stamps AT salsgiver DOT com. I particularly need the initialization file (INITS.DAT). It would also be helpful to have any old game files from completed games (all turns) including orders from players so I can test things. In the original program, these files were called QJnnnTmmm.DAT where nnn is the game number and mmm the turn number. The order files were named ORnnTmmm.DAT. If you had all those AND the printouts for a complete game that would be fantastic!



Thanks,
Mike

If anyone has game printouts (do not need to be in machine readable format), let me know. I can't remember how strong neutrals, or forbidden cities were, and the program doesn't have that information.

So many active games, it looks good!

I remember they were proportional to what artifact they defended. I saw a neutral with no art and it had a garrison in the teens and csp under 5 and then neutrals with 2 artifacts that had a garrison 50+ and csp in the teens.

LOTU cities were the same, the ones with no jewel had 100-110 garrison and decent csp around 25+ and no leaders.
But the LOTU defend with 3 leaders HUGE garrisons and CSP.

also zorans were there in the same proportion.

I don't have any individual printouts to show anything.

I am ready to begin the playtest for Quest of the Great Jewels. If you are interested in participating, please send me an email to stamps@salsgiver.com with your first and second choice of character type, and your player name (up to 8 letters). All turns and orders will be sent/received by email. Printouts will be in text format so you can print them out if you like. I'm working on a program that will check your orders for accuracy before you send them.

You can download a current copy of the rules at http://www.stampsbythemes.com/qj/qjrules3.pdf

You can download blank game maps at http://www.stampsbythemes.com/qj/qjmap.pdf

Turns will be run on a weekly (faster if all agree) basis. Note this is a playtest, so watch out for errors and anomalies. The game can accommodate up to 12 players. If more than that are interested, I can run two playtest games.

I just put in my request.  Thanks Jim.

If we are having problems with enough play testers, perhaps we should add this in the New Games thread here in the forum.

If need be, I could probably recruit a few newbies to join.
