Hello Alexsunny,

Nice to see you here in the taverne!

In fact, I tink there are as many ways as fan-legends in the forum and there is no "right" or "wrong" way. If it works, it's fine :)

Your way is just one of many and, depends on the legend, a good way to adjust the difficulty.

You can also adjust the difficulty withe the strenghtpoints of the creatures or the number of them. For example two more Gors with 4 players. Or the dragon with 40 than 30 SP.

If you can search other players for testing you legend. Maybe they find mistakes or things you don't even notice, because it's your legend and everything seems clear.

The number of test matches... I think, some of the legenends in the forum had more tests than others. In this point, it depends on the writer, how much time he wants to spend in the process.
At the moment, I work with Troll and Butterbrotbär on a special legend for Arbon and I can't say, how much tests we played in the last months. I think it must be something over 20 or more?
There is no number, on wich you can say: it fits and it's perfect.

Sorry ^^

If you are on the point where it fits for you and you can say: YES! Others can play it now without problems! Then it's the right moment :)

But this is only my opinion. Maybe it helps you a little bit!

Greetings,
Cat

Hello alexsunny123,

regarding the test matches: I would bet there are some Legends in here that are tested only once (if at all). However, these are only rare exceptions, most are well-tested.

So, what means well-tested?

Personally, before I think my Legend ist finished, I want to have it tested at least once with 2, 3, 4 and (if it is written for more than 4 players as well) 6 players. I also want it to be tested with all or at least most of the official heroes. This means 4 tests as a lower bound. Obviously, while developing, there will be many tests of the non-final legend as well, so it is hard to tell how many tests there are at all. (Depending on what you count as test.)
I would guess I play a normal legend in it´s near-end-version somewhere around 5 to 15 times before publishing ist. (Also depending on it´s variability.)
(The before-mentioned Arbon-Legend or our "Lied des Königs" does not count as normal. :roll: )

And I would definitely agree with Schlafende Katze, play with other people if possible. There will probably be some valuable insights and definitely some open questions you can cut out before release.

Greetings,
Troll
