Yes, you are right, I got a little confused.

Is it already possible to sign up, or what?

IMHO, there's a significant imbalance, leaning heavily towards the Town. Firstly, all Town roles have defined functions. The Mafia only has killing and redirecting + 25% chance to bypass protection. That's rather limited. Secondly, the Town has a stable pairing with the possibility of expanding to a team of three + the Chessmaster can identify a friend. That's a strong advantage. Thirdly, the Town has two blocking roles. Fourthly, the Mafia has too many telltale signs – the gramophone, the Hatter with the Illusionist, the General if the Director fails, the additional role, and the overpowered Thief. Something else. x)

It would be good to add some stronger abilities for the Mafia.

For example, a double kill.

I've made some adjustments to certain roles in the thread.

And here is the setting. It's a pretty worn-out theme—inquisitors, demon worshippers, sorcerers, etc., etc.—but still. What do you think? How is the balance; maybe something should be changed?

Witch Hunt

Western Europe. Mid-15th century. The Holy Inquisition, which began its activities relatively recently, attempts to root out the heresy that permeates the city. In their fanatical desire to rid themselves of all who contradict the Catholic Church and the dogmas of the Catholic faith, the Inquisition stops at nothing and often goes too far, accusing innocent people of witchcraft and demon worship. Meanwhile, behind their backs, real sorcerers and demon worshippers conduct their rituals and propagate their teachings...

The City

Grand Inquisitor. Head of the Catholic Church tribunal, a humble servant of the altar authorized to seek out and root out the pernicious delusions of heretics in all surrounding lands. He has set for himself a single, and as he believes, holy goal—the extermination of heretics.
Night Action (NA) – status check: believer/heretic.
Special – double vote during voting. 50% chance to survive an attack (does not protect against poison). Sends a decree to the Executioner to execute a player.
Status – believer, cursed


Bishop. Head of the city diocese; all local churches and monasteries are subordinate to him. He longs to cleanse his lands of heresy spread by witches and demon worshippers.
NA – Prayer. Heals a selected player. (Does not work on Demon Worshippers).
Status – believer, pure


Executioner. The city's chief killer. Tortures those suspected of heresy and witchcraft, carries out the sentence of execution or corporal punishment given by the Grand Inquisitor.
NA – Execution. Receives a decree from the Grand Inquisitor to execute a player. (Executes the player the following night. Protection, prayer, and resurrection do not work. If recruited by demon worshippers, execution is optional).
Status – believer, cursed


Count. Owner of all lands in and around the city. Provides active assistance to the Bishop and Grand Inquisitor in their activities, while secretly adhering to heretical views.
NA – compares the statuses of two players. (Receives results for both statuses).
Status – heretic, pure
Special – cannot be killed on the first night; a Knight may disrupt the kill and can communicate with him.


Knight. Loyal vassal of the Count, devoted to him in all things, ready to protect his lord until the end.
NA – protects a selected player; 50% chance to kill the attacker.
Status – believer, pure
Special - Knows the Count and can communicate with him. If the Count is killed, he joins the Templars.


Witch Hunter. A man excommunicated from the church by the Bishop. He tries with all his might to atone for his sins before the church to restore his good name.
NA1 - status check: pure/cursed
NA2 – kills a player with "cursed" status; leaves no evidence, bypasses any protection.
Status – believer, cursed
Special – if he checks the Witch, he learns her nickname but cannot kill her.


Blacksmith. A master of his craft. Can forge anything from metal that one's heart desires. Forges weapons for the Count and his vassals.
NA – Heavy Hand. Blocks a selected player. (Exceptions: Warlock, Templars, Grand Inquisitor, Witch Hunter)
Status – believer, pure


Moneylender. An old Jew who has put many craftsmen and petty nobles into a debt pit. He is disliked by all the city's residents.
NA – Bribe. Bribes a selected player; during the day, the player cannot vote. (Exceptions: Templars, Grand Inquisitor, Bishop, Count, Knight).
Status – heretic, cursed


Thief.
NA – steals the NA of a selected player (Can use NAs such as: healing/killing/protection; if protecting a player, he dies).

Good! A great map!

Feature – cannot be executed by the Executioner.

There is nothing like that written in the description of the Executioner. Maybe you are confusing it with the Witch Hunter? Why can't anyone kill it?)

Do Templars recognize each other?

maybe you're confusing it with the witch hunter? Why can't anyone kill her?

No, I'm not confusing it, I just didn't add this point to the executioner's description.
Yes, she is special.
P.S.: Templars and demon worshipers can kill her, and she can also be executed.

do the templars know each other?

Yes, they are like the third mafia.

Is there no mana at all? What does the double status value mean? And where the hell is Hos? How much longer will we have to play without him?

When there are only two and a half factions in the game, a map is not needed.

Is there no mana at all?

There is no mana.

What does the double status value mean?

It means exactly that, a double status:rolleyes:
It's done to confuse players more. And there are two checkers, for whom only one of the statuses matters.

What does the dual status value mean?

The 18th Mafia very clearly demonstrated this addition to the game. Verifiers become very important in such a game.

And where the hell is Hos? How much longer will we have to play without him?

He only missed one game. Do you want to kill him already?

I think he left and won’t be back for a while.

Actually, the third question was the most important, but you're talking about statuses. :smile22:

Never mind, we have Gil. Defenders and doctors don't need to look for a new target.
