Fate / Another

[Kotollama]

So. Lancelot and TRG Vash are up once again to play Fate Another.

interested people, please enter in contact so we can talk about details.

[Nephirin]

This would be the WC3 map? I'm super interested. Also, I'm Nephirin on East usually. Edit: I've actually been considering doing a BL Fate/Another thing for a bit now. Should be fun.

Exactly, they've added new servant-mons like Gawain, Caster extra, Assassin extra, Caster zero, Iskander, etc etc
So that perked my interests to play it once again with friends. Hopefully we can bring some guys from here too like we did in the past.
Thanks Koto-kyun for posting!

[Sarn]

I am interested. Please do count me in.
I never played it though, so I might really suck at it. Nor do I have any idea on how to install and play it. (though it shouldn't be complicated if it's just a war3 map)

[Nephirin]

Yeah. I usually stick with the 5th war Servants, so I haven't really experimented with the Extra servants all that much. I haven't really fought against Extra Assassin much, but the rest all wreck face in the hands of a good player. Well, that's true of any of the Servants. Edit:

Yeah, it's just a WC3 map, so you'd just download the map to your maps folder. (Or even just download it in the map lobby). There's a wiki here: fateanother.wikia.com/ that has the various Servants and their abilities, etc. The most recent versions of the map are all in Korean though, so use of the wiki is pretty much required if you don't use an older version.

[Sarn]

To be fair I've been on the wiki already, but I didn't know if I should go for the English version (1.4) or not. Guess it's a nope.
Oh and I should then study the techniques and their description beforehand I guess.

I wonder: Are heroes exclusive? Can there only be one of each hero per map?
Because I'm only really interested in playing 4 out of the bunch, so there might be some severe competition

[Nephirin]

Yes, Heroes are exclusive. But it's like, 12 people max on the map against a spread of 18 heroes, so there tends to be some leeway. Curious as to who you're interested in though.

[Sarn]

1: Alter
2: Zero Berserker (but I feel like Lancelot's gonna want him )
3: Archer
4: Saber

[Nephirin]

All pretty solid choices. I find that Archer and Saber are pretty solid choices for people who are newer to the game too.

[Kirby]

So, is this like a MOBA or something?

[Nephirin]

Um, there's no lanes or minions to kill. But you do control a single hero in a deathmatch style arena. Teams go up to 6 players. So yeah, I guess, sort of MOBA'ish?

[Milbunk]

I'd probably be willing to join though it's been forever sine I've played it.

[Sarn]

I've DL'd it and since, as you said, there's no minions to train on and IAs seem not to be configured to play, I guess I'll be learning on the spot. I feel bad for my teammates if I do manage to participate XD
There's sooooo many different options that I have no idea what to do with. I'll need to study the wiki real hard.

[Milbunk]

If you guys wanted I could probably host I'm pretty used to doing so especially with Warcraft. I'd say my internet is about average and I live in the middle of the United States so take that as you will.

Don't worry about it. I'd be willing to run a few practice runs with you, if nothing else.

[Sarn]

That'd be awesome

[Nephirin]

I'm at work right now, but throw me a PM in about... three hours or so, and I'd be happy to show you the ropes.

[Sarn]

Ah well I'm in Europe so in three hours I'll be asleep.
Also, I wonder if servers will be compatible. We may need to go through a private one if we have different regions. (not sure though, I no longer have any idea on how the warcraft 3 battle.net is managed, I just know that for the recent games it's separated by region)

[Milbunk]

If you know the internet ip (not the router) and you know how port forwarding works it should be possible to bypass battle.net completely.

[Nephirin]

Eh, it's pretty easy to go to different servers on WC3. Just register an account and you're in. I have an account on West, East, and Europe. Well, I'd probably host it using makemehost, and that goes cross server, so it wouldn't be a problem either. The timezone is more a problem, but we can work something out for Saturday I guess.
