I was thinking, but haven't decided yet. It's easier to simply encourage these people to be more active than to find replacements). So, I'll try to keep everything under control.

Added 2 minutes later
Although, it's a shame that I won't be able to play myself, because I like the setting.

I wanted to ask what you think about mafia-style scenarios like *Trolleybus*?
That is, scenarios with a similar level of difficulty, but with a more entertaining setting?
Who is FOR, who is AGAINST such scenarios?
To add a little variety to the atmosphere.

I personally support this with all my might.

I decided to publish the setting I mentioned earlier)

Setting

The world of I.A.O is an embodiment of order and chaos simultaneously, where the tranquility and equinox of Isis are interrupted by the destructive forces of Apophis, followed only then by the redemption of Osiris. Each cult is orthodox in its own right and strives to increase its power, but besides them, there is another mysterious order intending to use the powers of IAO in the embodiment of the Messiah; all this takes place against the backdrop of an Egyptian settlement where several mysterious sages have arrived, who will inevitably interfere in the unfolding events

Every member of the IAO and Innamoramento factions knows the members of their own faction. The society provides 2 ND, while others: the Temple represents a sort of city, and the Blood Mage and Warlock are typical maniacs.

Element: fire

Every member of the IAO faction and innamoramento knows the members of their faction. From the society, there are 2 Necromancers, the rest are: the temple represents a kind of city, a Blood Mage, and a Warlock - typical maniacs. The plan is to add a couple more female citizens; in general, that's what we have so far.

Do the factions fight each other?

Yes, each faction is like its own kind of mafia.

Interesting. I wouldn't mind participating.

Magnus, log in to ICQ.

In principle, I'm thinking of making the "Temple" also a kind of mafia, but to make their non-damage ability more useful, I'll make resurrection work like this: if they are killed, they are resurrected; otherwise, they gain a block.

Bloody Harvest: revives a fallen player (killed earlier), but to do so, someone must be killed.

Hmm...

and if the Temple is also controlled by the Dungeon faction, who will it revive? Its own units?

Regarding Blood Harvest: it also applies to the Blood Mage; he has his own intentions, and everything revolves around him.
Regarding the Temple: it's not a certainty; there's a limit of two Neutral Buildings, so it depends on them what to choose:
defense, status, or resurrection. Moreover, if they also heal their own units, they won't use their Neutral Buildings (in an unfavorable situation). However, they can also turn them against enemies as a block.

I have a few questions about the new faction:
1) If the assassination of a Blood Mage fails, will there be no resurrection either?
2) Invocation of Power is a very interesting non-deterministic event. I would like to know more about how it works. First, as I understand it, this is a one-time change to the non-deterministic event to any of the available ones in this game. So, can I change the non-deterministic event to Invocation?
And, since this is a change to the non-deterministic event of one of the factions, how does the Warlock specify: does he target a player, or does he name the faction, and they decide among themselves?

Added after 1 minute
3) Do the Blood Mage and the Warlock communicate with each other?

2) Invocation of Power is a very interesting non-deterministic event (NDE). I would like to know more about how it works. First, as I understand it, it is a one-time change of the NDE to any of the available ones in this game. So, can you change the NDE to Invocation?
And, since this is a change of the NDE of one of the factions, how does the Warlock specify: the player or the name of the faction, and they decide among themselves?

I think it meant changing the target of the NDE.

Well, as Vegtam correctly pointed out regarding the Warlock: it was meant to allow the Warlock of one of the Necropolis factions to change the target at will: i.e., he can choose to do it early, late, or randomly during the Necropolis Duel. For the Blood Mage: there is no killing, and therefore no resurrection either.
