Original Post:
What would be quite helpful is a rookie team for each race - these could then be used as the basis for building teams in test mode. Do these exist anywhere?
Edit:
Collectively people will create a basic team called e.g. Test (or [Test]) Amazons for each race that the owner will not use (Ranked or League division). This should contain all positionals and no team accessories (Rerolls, Apo etc). When you create one post its number below and I will update this list. These can then be used in test mode. To use one of these teams I have replaced the XXX in this address with the team code, so the links below should work directly: http://fumbbl.com/ffb.jnlp?id=XXX
When you click on the links below it will start a game with the team shown. Call it test:something and you should be able to play! Kids are pulling at my arms now, but will flesh this idea out more later.
Amazons - 745811
Chaos Pact - 745814 |

... But there is no standard rookie team for each race. How would this work? |

Having said that, would it actually be a useful resource to have one (or more) of each team as an available resource for testing? There are 24 teams, 2 of each makes 48 slots to fill, plus there's stunty... Or would one of each be enough? Or three? |

Good question. It probably wouldn't. But in test mode you can kill players automatically, so I suppose what I would like is a team with full positionals then linemen to make it up to 16, rather than a rookie team. |

If you look at the starting roster suggestions in the help section, there are 90. That seems like quite a lot, I can't host 90. But I could make 72 (3 for each team). And they would then be available for anyone to use in test mode.
So what would be good? Starting rosters full of positionals with no rerolls or cheerleaders? Or actual viable starting rosters? So for example, Orcs with a troll, Orcs with no troll, Orcs with a troll and goblins; and so on for each race. Dwarfs with deathroller, dwarfs without deathroller, etc. |

or, if you´re lazy you just don't field them rather then hitting the kill switch. |

bearing in mind that this team has to be legal in terms of team creation  |

thanks for the offer cthol - it might be a case of creating them in a "neutral account", created for the purpose by admins. I don't know if they are able to create "non-legal" teams either? |

don't know about a neutral account, you'd have to ask admins, but if people in general thought this would be a useful resource to add, then I'd be happy to do it: I have 79 slots I'm not using and am unlikely to ever need them. |

thanks - I've asked admins if I can make an account just for this purpose, seems neater somehow Might take you up on the offer of creating teams though, as it seems quite labour intensive unless you know a quick way? |

If the neutral account is possible i'd definitely make teams, that would be fun. Let me know how it works out. I think it could be a cool community resource. It would be great to have a link in the team roster page to a team with that starting roster, ready to play, so new players could jump right in and play a test game with a team already designed. The link could automatically launch the client in test mode. |

Very cool Idea
That would also be handy to test rosters to see what suits you, etc
If needed, I can give a hand to create those teams  |

Thanks. It's a no from admins on a separate account for the moment however.
For the moment, perhaps if anyone who wants to put a rookie team on their account that they won't use, I can create a list in the opening post of this thread of the team names. Maybe call the team "Test Chaos","Test Dwarves" etc.
The team number is then the last 6 digits of the address of the team, for example
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=721434 would be 724134.
One way of getting all the positionals in would be to make a team without any rerolls (this should work for most). Rerolls are the easiest to add in test mode.
And maybe post here when you start creating, so that effort is not duplicated! I'll start with Amazons. |
