This is a theme I made, and I hope you guys enjoy it! Macbeth: The Tragedy of Macbeth is a well known play by William Shakespeare, and this theme, as made obvious by the title, is based off of that tragedy. It is unique in the way that there are currently no plays in the Mafia Channel. There are 3 sides to this theme, and the Shakespeare (only in games 17+); Scotland (the village), Macbeth, and the Rebellion. There are some other unique aspects of this theme. Lady Macbeth/PL has 2 distracts per night The exposer is not revealed (a la DN), but they also have a inspect with 50% success. Macduff has a 1 charge daykill, supposed to be used to kill Macbeth There are two roles that can become king (Donalbain and Malcolm) Sides Spoiler Macbeth: Lady Macbeth Macbeth Murderer Scotland: Banquo Citizen Citizen Donalbain Donalbain King Duncan King's First Guard King's Second Guard Macduff Malcolm Malcolm King Shakespeare: Shakespeare The Rebellion: Macdonwald Rebel Soldier Thane of Cawdor [/HIDE] Roles List Spoiler Scotland Duncan Help Text: You are the king of Scotland!

Heya! Im actually pretty intrigued by this concept as looks like an interesting idea to tap into. I'll go through the code when I have a bit more time but I think there could be a few more roles as it does seem pretty villager heavy at the moment. How about having the Witches/Hecate and some of those other Scottish nobles around, just ideas though.. I think having 10+ villagers in the spawn list isnt a great plan unless they have someone like Augustus (In History theme when Augustus dies all the Villagers do something .. i think ;D )
Major balance issues: In 5-6 player games you have 6 town roles. There is no actual game in that case. In games from 7-8 massclaiming is going to win it all the time. Up to 13p the bad side is still really underpowered considering 2bgs+mayor+stalking and many named townies. At 13p there is a side introduced that can’t win so is really underpowered. I cold go on but the point is you need to work on your spawn first (roles2 will help you).
