Notes about the setup.
-Goal here is to adopt the ToS2 Setup to a longform game of Mafia. Yes, it’s going to be rolemadness but roles are going to be severely nerfed across the board, you have been warned.
-Setup will be x1 Jailor, x13 Random Town, x4 Random Coven, x1~2 Neutral Evil, x0~1 Neutral Killing. So basically 30% of the game will be antitown, with 20% being groupscum.
-Originally wanted to split the Coven into x1 Coven Killing/x1 Coven Deception/x1 Coven Utility but this sort of structuring could basically result in stuff like clearing Deputies if a Ritualist was elim’d and so on. I’ll use discretion to prevent extremely one-sided Coven Teams from rolling but my goal is to make it irrelevant for solving. Needless to say each Coven role is Unique.
-Similar thing to the above will go when it comes to deciding town rands. I’ll re-rand if I get a setup with multiple overlapping roles such as full of Vigilantes and Veterans but having multiple Vigs will still be possible. I won’t talk about how I’ll rand this in order to prevent solving around claims.
-Protective roles have been nerfed. ToS protectives tend to be very strong as they punish evils too hard for having their kills stopped. I removed the killing effect from Crusaders, BGs, and Trappers and the first role turned into a rolestopper rather than PGO-izer. I want the game to be true to the source material but in long-form mafia getting your deepwolf killed because of these mechanics sucks hard, so yeah.
-Wills are going to be a thing. Originally I decided against it but it shouldn’t give town too much of an advantage here especially due to the amount of anticlaim that exists in ToS2.
-Jailors are still the main PR of the setup. The amount of potential strongman/anticlaim in the game should make openclaiming this role an extremely risky strategy. We had a setup similar to this on FoL and the Jailor-equivalent was not that overbearing so since this setup is larger then I don’t think this will be much of an issue.
-Minimal feedback. Players aren’t going to be informed of stuff such as successful protections, or redirections and roleblocks unless they’re investigative, and the like. In addition in order to help evils fakeclaim all of them will be notified if they are roleblocked or not, regardless if their action gives feedback or not.
-Night Kills will not out the faction of the killer and guilt was changed to vanillization rather than death. There will be less swing if a Vigilante misfires but at the same time there’s still a penalty for doing so and it will not grant automatic mechanical confirmation. Veterans have been rebalanced and they can only kill one player per night, cannot bypass immunities, and do not get protection when on alert. I did this so there’s less of a “PoE commits suicide on claimed Vet” strategy and they don’t completely swing a game due to good or poor use of their actions.
-Psychics got nerfed due to the game being 20p rather than 15p. In addition the larger odd-night pool should make it so there’s more likely than not more than one evil thus it shouldn’t be that much of an issue to deepwolves.
-Neutral Evil roles are the ones that were reworked the most. Pirates are less “open-claim and play Rock-Paper-Scissors” and now have a more antitown function, Executioners should be focused on pushing miseliminations rather than their ToS2 counterpart, Doomsayers are here as anticlaim, and whatnot. Somewhat undecided on what to do with Jesters as while the role’s a huge pain in the $%#! that the amount of town-sided kills means that they have to thread carefully rather than just act as blatant/antitown as possible.
-Only confirmable roles in this setup will be the Prosecutor, the Monarch, the Jailor, and the Mayor. Realistically due to sheer amount of roles in ToS2 I don’t think that all of the three non-Jailor role are likely to roll at the same time and even then this still means that 10/14 of the villagers are ML’able.
-Sheriff shouldn’t be as strong as they normally are in vanilla setups, being that the Necronomicon GF effect and potential Illusionists and Enchanters exist, so it’s not like they can lock a game with green checks. Plus, they can’t detect the NK, so yeah.
-Necronomicon mechanics will be changed. The Coven will decide on who will have the Necro during each cycle rather than it being cycled amongst the Coven themselves.
-Amnesiacs can’t remember unique roles. Since this game will have far less randomness involved in kills then important PRs dying should be less attributed to chance and more to skill. If the Town pushed their Jailor to out which caused them to be sniped by a Ritualist, it’s their loss.
-Seers are nerfed into normal parity cops. And frankly I’m pretty sure that BMG is going to do the same thing before ToS2 gets out of Early Access as the current incarnation’s a bit too strong.
-Retributionists have been nerfed as well since they cannot use corpses more than once. This is to prevent them from going wild the moment that a Vig flips, so yeah.
-Admirers were significantly changed as their current incarnation makes them way too mechanically confirmable and the version for this longform game adds a level of counterplay to the wolves. Plus, the iteration for this longform game will allow wolves to fake it.
-The Enchanter was changed from two uses to one use as since the Coven will have the entire night to plan out actions then I feel like this role may prove to be way too strong.
-The Jinx was changed from an Ambusher to a Vet. The former would basically make this role a bit too strong as it could basically net a kill roughly every night if played correctly.
-The Ritualist’s drawback was removed as it’d basically make this role unusable in longform due to the fact that FPS’ing is far more common here then in the game itself. The Ritualist and Doomsayer can also anticlaim Investigative roles as unlike in ToS they aren’t necessary for gamesolving.
-The Witch doesn’t force players to use their night action. I don’t want them to hard-counter Vigilantes this badly.
-The Potion Master is more like its ToS1 rather than ToS2 incarnation mostly to keep it on par with the other Coven Roles.
-Vote-manipulation properties of the Voodoo Master and Dreamweaver were removed simply because of how critical votes are for longform.
-Wildling was changed to a Watcher+Tracker mixture. Like with the Seer role I feel like this is way too strong of an information gathering role and I’m pretty sure that BMG’s eventually going to nerf it to something more reasonable.
