"Sacrificial Blood" released on an unsuspecting public Enter the AD-FREE zone

"Sacrificial Blood" is finally complete after over a year of work. Its completion is due in large part to the help of the scenario designers in this forum, whom I wish to thank.

Sacrificial Blood is a new scenario/modpack which contains 57 new technologies, 62 new units, 25 new sounds, 12 pieces of new music, 24 new wonders, and 12 new improvements. Many of the default graphics, such as the Presidents' pictures, have also been changed. You can play solo, or against up to two other opponents.

On Feb. 14th, a Sacrificial Blood contest begins. The winner takes $250 cash. You can find out more about the game and the contest by checking out the Sacrificial Blood website at:

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Is my understanding correct from reading the promos that the game CAN'T be played solo and has to played with three other players?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Yes & No. If the readme file is correct, the first two scenarios are pure multiplayer while only the last one ("King of Kings") can be played solo. Multiplayer is the only way to achieve the elusive "Master" rating, however

Looks like a pretty impressive piece of work, Shay!

Yes Kull, you are correct. The game pack was designed to be a true multiplayer experience. A human opponent is always the most dangerous. All three of the scenarios can be played solo, and I have spent many hours doing so. In fact, it's smart to do this before playing with real people, that way you learn. The problem is that the AI has no idea how to win "Lost City" and "Pre-Columbian Age" because the victory conditions are so specialized. Because "King of Kings" is pure global domination, the AI will give you a good game, but ultimately you will win because the AI doesn't know how to use the specialized units and terrain effectively. So in the end, the best games will be multiplayer. Playing this game with other people has been a mindblowing experience for me because I am constantly amazed by the new strategies a human player under duress can spontaneously develop. That's why the contest is for multiplayer games only. I am confident you are all up to the challenge and I look forward to observing your playing genius!

I bump this up again. I'm just curious since I didn't see any reviews on this and also didn't see it at Leo's site. Anyone have any comments on this?
