For a first go I'd suggest Orcs - Strong, medium pace, average agility and good starting skills.

But I love the little lardbutts. I think I'll just keep playing for comedy value. :)  Anyway, the treemen are pretty sweet, when they don't decide to put down roots suddenly.

I've never played the board game and have played 2 games ever.... so I wouldn't call myself experienced!

Maybe we could have a competitive league in the future, sure, where these sort of things matter, but for now I don't think it's so important.

I'll be online from 9pm onwards tonight if you want to play, Adept. (or anyone else if he's not) I've found that being on mumble at the same time greatly enhances the experience, plus you can offer play tips to each other too if one or both of you are newbies.

I create a team, but I can't select it to join the RT league. Quite lost in the MP interface...

Match reports from tonight posted in a separate thread! :)

I create a team, but I can't select it to join the RT league. Quite lost in the MP interface...

It's really not a good interface. I can only recommend getting on mumble and talking it through with others. Adept took 10-20 minutes and a couple of teams until he succeeded in joining our league. The game itself is MUCH better than the pre-game interface is. Do persevere!

One thing to note is there is a limit on the number of leagues your team can be in, and it automatically gets put in some public leagues, so your team may have to quit one or more of these leagues in order to join the RT one.

Also when you try to actually start an MP game you may well get "connection failed" messages - you need to open 2 ports -  ports 30710 (port used by the server) and 16962 (to host a game) in UDP.

I'll be online from now on for some 4-5 more hours, if there's someone willing to lead... ;)

Wyld helped me, and I'm in - as soon as the team gets accepted in the league. :)

Did you know that Astrogranite Apocalypse are my second team in the league?  I had to retire the Thousand Blocks after their first match when Rav killed two of their players, including one of the chaos warriors.  Adding insult to injury, the second half started with one of my deceased on his lineup as a freshly raised skeleton.

There are some teams I look forward to playing against.  There are others I'll take on but you won't find me so eager to offer to play them.  But Rav... those guys, I truly fear.

No wonder he was talking about starting a tier 2 team for our amateur league. Probably a good idea  :-\

Having played in a more experienced league and had my arse handed to me I can vouch for the fact that I'm not that good :-)

Someone needs to unlock my team into the RT league.

I'm pretty sure I let it in. You won't appear on the standings until you play a game in the league.
