Galactic Conquest [SCAPHEAP vs. DAWNSTAR]
« on: February 16, 2014, 02:58:36 am »

Many centuries into the future beyond our present day, humans have formed a single nation, called the United Republic of Humanity. For some time, the people prospered, and were happy with their rule. However, one man, Johnathan Rogers, proclaimed himself Emperor of the URH. He took over the government as a totalitarian ruler, and executed all who opposed him. A group of people fled, and called themselves the Rebellion. This was about eighty years ago, and the UHR has remained the dictatorship that it once was, although it's now ruled by Johnathan's son, Alexander Cornelius Rogers. A major, and likely war-winning battle is soon to take place, and you've been placed as the commander in chief of one of the sides.

An explanation of the rules.
A list of heroes for both factions.
An explanation of different kinds of terrain.
A spreadsheet of general units.
A spreadsheet of Rebel units.
A spreadsheet of URH units.

Note that this is a very early and untested alpha. There will be unbalances, vague writing, and various problems in the writing. Once some games have been run, I'll be tweaking the game to be less broken. If you have any trouble with understanding the rules, please send me a PM detailing the problem.
Also, actions are sent via PM, so that the other player has no idea what you're doing. The game will, once everything's designed, support four player matches, but as it stands, only two can play in a match. In between matches, I'll be creating the various planned features not yet implemented, including two factions that rely on some of the unfinished mechanics.

I want in, but I also haven't read the rules and won't unitl tommorow... so I'd like the first place on the reserve list- that seems fair.

Gah, just noticed an error I'd made when writing up the rules that's fairly important, so I figured I'd outline it here. When invading, you cannot drop within a 2 square radius around the enemy's capital, and invading counts as both attacking and moving for the units doing it.

Hey a1s, I'd like to ask that you notify me, either by personal message or on the board, once you've gotten a chance to read through the rules, due to the apparent lack of interested players.

Interesting.

Looking through the documents now.

That may be rather intimadating to a lot of people, so that might be why the sign-ups is low.

Are there only two players, though? This seems liek something that would need even numbers.

It's two per round, but I'd imagine that rounds wouldn't be terribly long. When the other two factions I'm working on are finished, it'll be up to 4 per round.

I suppose you could go red-alert 3 style and have commanders and sub-commanders.

Added.
The first turn of the game will be going up hopefully sometime later today. I don't currently have access to the program I'll be using to create the maps, but it won't take long once I do. Scapheap and dawnstar, go ahead and post your preferred faction and hero. Also, both sides will start with 200 credits on the first round. Feel free to PM the units you'd like to deploy at the beginning of the game. May the best man win!

I'll play the next round, then, once the bugfixing has been done.
