Oh I see. But is there a techology-cap/starting point?

 

In that case, I'll start writing about my upcoming nation. :-P

Glad to have you onboard. Just curious, what nation are you going to be?

A bit of a mix between the Sicilian culture, with the Roman engineering and passion, and Spanish naval power.

When will the medieval game get its own topic?

 

[spoiler=Inca Empire LD]

 

Mather, I have absolutely NO idea what that map is trying to represent. Furthermore, if you are indeed trying to 'claim' some land,YOU DO NOT GET AN EMPIRE. You start with a small _TRIBE_ of <50K people.

 

We're not even going to use an Earth map.

We are going to use a map of Earth I believe, it's just that there was some discussion on the matter.

 

Ok my tribe wil be located on this plateau.

Mather.

 

No, we're not using an Earth map. Read more carefully, yeah?

Who's decided?

Mather.

 

No, we're not using an Earth map. Read more carefully, yeah?

Look eleven posts up, lol.

I've read all the posts for a couple of pages.

 

I thought they were all just suggestion, no unanimous vote yet

If you decide on using Pangea you could use this map:

I really like this map too,

 

Anyway, I'm all for the Pangea map.

 

Well as I realised that I would be over-ruled here is the best map of pangea that I could find

 

Hmm...okay I'll live with that map

 

I wanted a randomised map too

 

Let's use Pangea

 

Pangea is WAY cool.

 

Pangea sounds like a good idea.

 

???

Either way it's still Earth only a few million years of tectonic movement ago, so anything buyt the coasts, placement and the temperature would still be the same.

It also means its easier for every player to interact with each other.

Lets just settle with the Pangea map.

I'll write up a summary of my tribe soon, I have about half of my unit roster done.

I think most maps will average a 100 unit value limit, so bare that in mind when determining troop values.

My judge knight is going to be 20, and thats a heavy unit, just for some comparison.

 

Also, 1 OS does not equal 1 DS, DS is almost always under 5, and if it was above 5, OS and MS would have to be nerfed beyond belief.

That makes it far to simple, and people would just wait out of range of the enemy, meaning the first person who moves into range loses.

DS blocks OS,

 

You'll understand why its the way it is when I post the example battle that me and Sere have been playing for the last few days.

wtf is OS MS DS?

 

I assume you mean Magic, Offense, and Defense, but i thought there was no magic?

 

Also, what is a unit value? How is it determined? What is the limit?

 

I'm confused.

 

Furthermore, can we finish this thread before we spam it up with more Mideval discussion?

 

 

How do we sort out these units? also whats this OS DS thing?

 

And we can't all have some units from the start, we might have to spend some time into something, maybe say something like 10 years for elephants or whatever.

wtf is OS MS DS?

OS - Offensive Strike (i.e. Damage)

DS - Defensive Strike (negates offensive strike)

MS - Movement speed

For all medieval discussion, please join #medi, instead of spamming this topic anymore than we have to.

What about TA(Tactical Advantage)?

That doesn't make much sense.

Terrain decides things like that I guess.

If one has previously scouted a victim, shouldn't the owner of the scout have the advantage of a better planned and coordinated attack?

That would complicate things to the point where nobody has any clue whats happening.

I'm still trying to work out a viable system for "Ambushes" but I don't think there is one, so if somebody were to ambush somebody, at the moment it just means that they get to design a map with terrain that works to their advantage.

Example Battle Scenario

 

[hide=Starting map][/hide]

You're red team, I'm blue team.

You can take the first move.

 

(When moving a unit, first erase the colour from the tile, move the unit, then replace the colour)

Surrender? [Y/N]

I SURRENDER!!!

Okay, from that, I noted a few things.

1. The counter system and strength drop system needs a rework

2. Following on from that, the OS/DS ratio needs a rework as well

3. Maps need to be decided upon carefully, so do objectives (EG. In that battle, Sere's objective was to protect the prince at the top of the map)

4. A method to work out which player gets to decide the map needs to be decided as well.

Can you make the combat system clearer.

 

4) players who's land it is gets to decide the map.
