War #5 - Rules

[kev]

just to clarify. in fire support team , player A is defending, player B attack Air. Fire support team has 3 relics and are attacked by three players. player A will have 3 matches while player B will have one is it?? or they can each play 2 matches each

2 matches each

Only 3 teams are allowed to attack you because you only have 3 relics, so the 4th team will then be forced to attack the team that has the most relics.

The 4th team will then be forced to defend.

I don't think there is a true advantage in having more than one person defending in the support team at any time... :-/ Am I wrong?

In the example I gave in the opening post, if Team Aether defends with only one player and they are attacked 5 times, they can only use one of the following in their defending decks:

Lightning, Dimensional Shield, Phase Dragon, Parallel Universe, Phase Spider, Fractal, Deflagration, Phoenix, Nova, Momentum, Graboid, Fog Shield, Horned Frog

In other words if they choose Dims they can use Dims in each of their five battles but no Lightnings, PUs, Fractals, etc.  If they defend with three players they could use Dims in one deck, Lightnings and PUs in a second, and all three cards in the third.  Given that 50%+ of each deck has to be Aether...

Will cards assassinated be visible to assassinator team/whole world?

Nope.  Only the assassinated team will know.

dd and I have been busy clarifying the rules in spots.  If you don't believe your question has been resolved, please feel free to ask again.

Q : 4.1 : if you're an assassin, do you put (Ass) in title? Same question for all roles.

I was serious when i asked this. Well. Save for ass part, probably (A) if it is the case :V

"Duel pairings will be made public by the Warmasters and will show team names only (rather than player names) with the exception of Generals (i.e. Aether General versus Air Player #2).  The same topic will also have one or more Event Cards.  Event Cards have a positive or negative global effect that will affect all the players during that round. Event Cards are designed by the forum Administrator and Warmasters."

So we get to choose who duels who (save gens)?

Will there be any support battles round 1? I would assume no based on the rules.

Correct.  First Support Team battles will follow first Main Team battles.

What are the rules regarding subbing for support battles?

[mrpaper]

6. Scout
A Scout may post the name of two cards before the deckbuilding deadline each round.  If the Scout wins the battle, s/he learns the number of said cards that were in his/her opponent’s vault at the beginning of the round.
 

What does learn mean? is it winning? Say I am a scout playing against death and I say skeleton and skull shield and death team does in fact have 18 of each... my team wins 36 cards?  That seem like being an overpower role.  I understand the chance of facing 18 cards in the vault later on is more and more unlikely.  But it gives the feeling that a loss with the scout in the 1st 2 rounds is a sure way to loss war.  Just think 36 x 2= 72 won cards plus 6X2 from salvage = 12 cards so + 84 cards for the scout of a winning team team and tons of discard for a team who loses.

No. Think R1 last war. "They are 18 skeletons & skull shields in team death's vault". That's all you get to know.

[ralouf]

No learns mean that you'll know how many exemplar of this cards there is in the targeted vault

This probably isn't the correct place for this post, but I'm not sure where else I would put it.

Above is the link to the War Archives. All the threads from War #4 have recently been moved there, so anyone can view them. If you are a new player to War, this would be a good opportunity to gain some valuable knowledge into how War works and how planning is done.
