o.O This game is going to be epic, I call dip on fleet of Claudia Fortresses, and Gunship Betas

The actual name is just "Claudia" Fortress is the type. The units you chose are all going to be frik'n expensive and high up the tech tree :-0

Did I mention Fortress types are strong against everything?

[adwarf]

RESEARCH A GO !!!!

[Skyrunner]

I just test-rolled a Claudia against a Whirlygig, and the Whirlygig kamikazed the Claudia in the first round o_o better up the stats of Fortresses.

Adwarf, you have a long track record of starting cool shit and then forgetting about it.

I won't start my game unless I get someone to Co-Gm it with me.

So you can stop GMing and leave the other guy to GM it?

[adwarf]

No, so we can split the work, but thanks for being an ass.

[Skyrunner]

Idea - Named units, a la heroes? You spend extra resources making it, and it doesn't die in one battle?

[Bdthemag]

Eh, although it would be interesting it seems right now we're all just adding more and more mechanics into the game. "Hero Units" are pretty cool after all, but keep in mind it would be another thing to keep track of.

Actually, most of the posts here gave me incentive to simplify the game o_o I'm going to release it as a Minecraft-style beta sometime tomorrow: base features in, others added as I can and things may change.


What's left: Finish maps, write up posts, create type table, create forms and write the fluff descriptions.

... Must I even bother demonstrating how incredibly imbalanced the current stats/costs are?

[adwarf]

Skyrunner is still working on those at the moment

... Must I even bother demonstrating how incredibly imbalanced the current stats/costs are?

What stats? Please elaborate, so I can identify and fix them if needed.


Also, there are no costs ATM, so I don't know what you are talking about :/ All those dollar amounts are the monetary transport ability, fyi. All the ships are ordered in ascending order of tech level.

Nevermind, mistook the transport ability for cost. Still, I suggest revising the unit tech order, some don't match. Galleons are literally the 16th century development of the carrack, hence, a heavy carrack should be availiabe way before a light galleon. In fact, I suggest making all variants of a single unit simultaneousy availiable, tiering them.

[Skyrunner]

Well... Here, a Small carrack and a Medium carrack are both two-masted ships; the Large carrack is three masted. The galleon is similarily classed, with the small one being a medium ship and the medium and large ones being Large ships.


I'm planning on writing and posting the intro this night. Most of the core functions are done. It will be a beta version, with features added later and things polished to be more fun and or balanced.
