@orangeandblack5
So? Why is that?

#34092

Because it changes wincon midgame(though I dont agree that it makes it bastard)

#34093

You would call ToL itself bastard too with your definition, and ToL is just an algorithmic game without any random elements after start, and the game isnt lying about any mechanic either

#34094

ToL is probably more bastard that FoL lol

#34095

These games really come down on the “mechanics that severely inconvenience players” side of things

#34096

Where notably “inconvenience” is meant in a quite literal sense

#34097

Mechanics are key, not inconvenience

#34098

So, like, having your win condition changed is extremely inconvenient given you must now play to a completely different goal

#34099

when the mod is having more fun than the players

I mean, you can think what you want about what makes things fun

It’s just a definition lol

#34101

Mechanics are mechanics lul

#34102

I get the feeling you’re under the impression bastard is a derogatory term when it’s really not as long as people know what they’re getting into

Bastard game means “the host lies to you cuz its fun for him”

#34104

That is one of two things that can make a game bastard

#34105

The other is having mechanics that drastically inconvenience players
