About Lizards
What Is It All About?
Lizards! Is a computer-moderated turn-based play-by-email
game (PBEM). There are 16 players in each game, each
controlling a single clan of Lizards. These unfriendly
little reptiles have developed a simple civilisation
of their own on a small watery world. Naturally, this
leads to a little conflict now and then...
Each turn players may submit a maximum of 30 orders,
selected from 15 types of orders available. Players
submit their orders each turn. On the due date, all
players orders that have been received are processed
simultaneously and the results, in the form of a Turn
Report, are mailed back to the players.
The Rulebook
The rulebook is organised into sections for ease-of-use.
Each section is number with its own independent group
of page numbers. This makes it easy to print out and
put into a folder if you would like to, adding notes
of your own and any future amendments we may make. Orders,
when mentioned, are abbreviated to their first two letters.
For instance, the RE(CRUITED) order is abbreviated to
RE and the B(UILD) (B)RIDGE order becomes BB.
Starting Positions
Each players of Lizards! Begins with a single Home Den
and a number of other dens and lizards. The Clan Home
Dens are spread more or less evenly over a randomly
generated 32x32 wrap-around hex map.
Home Dens
Each player’s Lizard Clan begins the game with
one Home Den of great antiquity and tradition. Clan
Home Dens are of enormous importance and a source of
much prestige. No matter how many other Dens a Clan
owns no recruits will join a clan that has no Home Den.
Capturing the Home Dens of other Clans is the main objective
in a normal game of Lizards!
Object Of The Game
The first clan to have a points total of more than 1000
points for each ‘Home Den’ remaining in the
game is said to have gained “Domination of the
Savage Swamp” and the player controlling that clan
is the winner. At the start of the game 16000 points
are required to win, but this number may be reduced
as some Dens are wiped out in the vigorous pursuit of
victory.
Speed Of The Game
Lizards games are available in three different speeds,
3-Day Super-Fast Games, 7-Day Standard Games and 10-Day
Slow Games. You can play at whatever speed suits you!
