zotto Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 it would have been nicer to have range, melee and mage classes. And if there was more terrain difference. If you could use heights, ravines etc to your advantage. I'm a big fan of the original Shogun Total War and Medieval Total War. But I guess it is too much to ask for a full RTS game for a 'mini'-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diib Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 In my opinion, it needs lots of work - The combat triangle should be mage vs melee vs ranged rather than these races. There was no need to invent an entirely new combat triangle for this game - All scenarios are symmetric. This was obviously done to make the game balanced. In my opinion, non-symmetric scenarios would add both variety and tactics. For example, why isn't the castle in the siege scenario defended by a player? To balance this, the game could find the likelihood of winning and loosing by simply counting the amount of wins and losses of each side, and adjust rewards and/or troop effectiveness accordingly. - Interaction between the game and the runescape main game: Why can't mobilizing armies be played in pre-existing places in runescape? Imagine the possibilities : a white knight "training" war near Falador, a Varrockian army against zombies in the wilderness, gnomes vs. Khazard troops, fremmennik vs. ice trolls, ... On a positive note, the junk-removal tactic seems effective. I have yet to try the locators. Furthermore, I'm sure this technology could be used in quests, which would be great. "Noob" is an insult. "Noob" is overused. Be polite. Try to say "noob" less than once a day.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuu4 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 What? Bad rewards? Long waiting times? Jagex has implemented millions of other fast, no-fun, money-making methods. Now when they finally make something resembling strategy you're all "BAA OMG JAGEX FAILS!" Go 26k in a corner.

shooterbob7 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This game is horrible now, mainly because in hoard and rescue, people think the objective is to fight and not hoard or rescue...I've played countless games of rescue for people to send all their 10 heavy units to attack my base leaving their base wide open. In hoard, i was playing games where people would fight each other instead of collecting gold, leaving that one isolated team to win...So many people are stupid, why do they have to foolishly send all their units to attack while they lose? And basically for any game, whoever doesn't get attacked or gets teamed basically wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoswellCrash Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Belongs in funorb As I was reading through I was in the state of mind that this is a great addition and brake from normal RuneScape with the chance to get some nice looking costumes for RuneScape, but then I saw the above comment, & I shocked myself.. I really agree with that, yeah it does seem like something that belongs in FunOrb, but I do like it here on RuneScape if only for the rewards. I am a little disappointed that being such a big new thing there are not a lot more variety in the rewards.. I mean I have played about 117 games, and lost about 5 .. I am rank 30 & own everything on the lower reward room,, I've still got 70 more ranks to reach, taking in about 19k reward credit on each game.. Enough to buy all the rewards 4 times out before I even reach the next reward room... I will have enough to buy everything in the rank 100 room before I have even entered it.. Seems pointless to me. Can they not have spend a little more time making more costume rewards or something? I'm looking at having 1330k+ reward points by time I get to the Ground floor room (1st floor US) Yes on the other side of things, the waiting rooms need a massive sort out or at least let us emote in them lol They could remove the games room and stick the games in the waiting rooms, at least we'd be doing something.. Eh.. it's ok. I mean I can't see myself playing it for hours on end... >_> No, no just no!

Zepheras Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Can they not have spend a little more time making more costume rewards or something? Can you afford to wait? If you can, can the rest of the community afford to wait? I haven't personally tried the minigame yet, having heard so much about it. But based on the fact that the three races merely represents each corner of the combat triangle, I'll classify this as a glorified game of rock, paper, scissors more than a RTS. I was ready to be throughly amazed if it was anything close to...Age of Empires I, but I guess that it would take years for Jagex to implement a minigame of such standard in RuneScape...

vttuih2 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Conflict is a joke. It's very easy to win; just pile onto a special terrain spot and kill anybody who attacks you. Special terrain is VERY effective, to say that it isn't shows you're ignorant. The rewards aren't worth it. I haven't seen the rank 200+ yet, but the time required to get 100 rank can be used to make waaaay more than I expect 400 to be.

jakerules208 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's not that bad of a game, I've played just a few games in conflict, but it was too easy. with a 3-3-4 set up i would pile the triangle and own, but the rewards are to far away to try to get onyx ring in one shot.

Knitewulf Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I haven't played much of MA, but I was really hoping it was going to be a fire emblem type strategy game when it wasn't I was disappointed. I do agree with Jonni it should be on funorb. Armies of Glienor was better than this. 61,358th to 99 range on May 23rd, 2010.100,927th to 99 def on February 13th, 2011.

LucyBender Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Meh, its another one of those minigames that is more of a time waster or distraction from grinding a skill than anything else. I only played a couple of times and it was ok but nothing I would spend a lot of time on. I don't think it's quite worth spending much time or gps on it but then I am not all that into strategy war type games anyway.
