ATLANTISv2 atl-players-digest #69

I thought I was going to get thousands of responses asking me
to keep this digest (maybe I just wanted to massage my ego ;-))
But I received enough responses, so I'll keep the digest going.

In this case, there's no way to tell. Orders within a region are executed
in the order that the units appear on a turn report, but the order in which
regions are processed is unspecified. So, it depends on which MOVE gets
off first.

Reply-to: owner-atl-players@tango.rahul.net

If a unit advances will hostile units have a chance to avoid battle
by issuing a move command the same turn ? i.e Will they move out before
battle ensues. The sequence of events is a little hazy as it states

ADVANCE and MOVE orders are processed (including any combat resulting
from these orders).

Any ideas ?

Subject:       capturing towns

Does anyone have experience with capturing towns or cities?  If you
kill some of the guards, but not all, to they regenerate the next
turn.  Or do they stay dead so that you can whittle down a town
little by little?

Subject: Magical items

Greetings.
 A question (to Geoff or whoever can answer).
 The magical items creatable by spells (gloves of strength, wands of
fire, etc), are they used up in on (combat\turn\use), or are they
permanent or with a certain number of charges?
 This is quite important to me, as my allies will support my mages in
exchange for magical items.

Hi, Adam.

Did you ever use my Newbie Help stuff?  I'm trying to decide whether
to put in the time on editing a bunch more material that's been onthe
net since we last talked.  Let me know what you think.

PS.  Do you know if there is any way that a non web/ftp person such
as myself with email only can see the Atlantis Times?  Thanks.

Subject: Areas with over 2 foundations?

I'm just curious, are there spells (areas of research) that require more
than 2 foundations?

On a similar note, does having multiple related skills sometimes give
you the ability to do things no single skill could?

Thanks. :)

Subject: Healing skill? Combat at sea?

Units with the Healing skill have a chance of being able to heal casualties of
the winning side, so that they recover rather than dying.  Each character with
this skill can attempt to heal 5 casualties.  Each attempt however requires
one unit of Herbs, which is thereby used up.  Each attempt has a 50% chance of
healing one casualty; only one attempt at Healing may be made per casualty.
Healing occurs automatically, after the battle is over, by any living healers
on the winning side.

What does having a healing skill of 2, or 3, or more do in terms
of healing after a battle? (I'm not talking about possible new skills
or special features, just the 2x better per level thing... DOes that
apply here?)

Can two ships at sea fight? Can you transfer men between ships if they
are allied/friendly/whatever?

Subject: Reasonable dudes...

Well, if i don't badly remember when started playing the game it's said
that players can only have a faction, and anonymous mailing services will
not be accepted...
  By the way, i've seen that some factions use these services of anonymous
E-mailing..... don't  Know why...
  Most i see is that there are two factions (1 perfectly identified and 1
from an anonymous server ( from @anon.penet.fi .... i know it 'cos i've got
an anonymous account there....)) that used to write similar messages with
similar words... I was really surprised when see two different messages
about the Moebious Theory in the Times.... my surprise was higher when i
notice that the messages senders where a notorious player (also known as
Hirgul....) and the anonymous accounter....
  My surprise was higher when the anonymous accounter sent mails about the
New Alliance... and about Stinchar and Sledmere.... zones where the Hirgul
is...
  Has the rules following and cooperative playing paladin (as he told he was
more or less when revealing his ex-allies plans for conquering a city)
renegate from the rule following...
  Are two different players with similar ideas playing???
  Is the fish a good food??? (I prefer meal...)
 well, think what you want... i will continue investigating by myself....

I can vouch for this. I make use of Tiny's mage skills, and have an OBS 4
spotter in the area. I can garuntee that Tiny has never stolen a thing in his
life.
