It's a 'cardgame' with no cards because I'm a lousy graphical designer ;v

Magic: the Gathering, Etherlords, Elements Game; this follows the veins of all the more popular card games. You have your Mothership, you deploy your spaceships to defend it and to bring down the Mothership of your enemy.

2 testers needed. Make up your own Deck compositions and post them here.

Spoiler: Rules and whatnot (click to show/hide)

CARDS:

MOTHERSHIP: the Admiral's base. It goes down, game's over! The Mothership also provides 1 Deployment Point, even if you do not have any Nodes in play

Name: duh
HP: how much damage the Mothership can survive before asploding

The Imperial Flagship (Terran Empire):
HP: 115

The Hive Planetoid (Alien Swarm):
HP: 100

The Optronic Forge (Cyborg Council):
HP: 130

SHIPS: the backbone of the spacefleets

Name: duh
(Deployment): How much 'deployment points' the ship uses up when deployed into the Field
ATK: how much damage the ship deals to targeted enemy ship/Mothership
HP: how much damage the ship can survive before asploding
Maneuver: a special skill that is used in place of normal attack; some Ships do not have any Maneuvers, while others have more than 1

TACTICS: Special events that you can put in play for instant effects

Name: duh
(Deployment): How much 'deployment points' the card uses up when activated
Effect: What this card does when activated

NODES: they increase the maximum of 'deployment points' you have on your Turn.

Name: duh
Effect: some Nodes have special Effects besides the normal Deployment Point gain

===

DECKS:

Decks are comprised of up to 40 Cards: Ships, Tactics and Nodes.
You compose your own Deck from one of 3 sets: Terran Empire, Alien Swarm, Cyborg Council
You can have up to 4 copies of a Card in your deck; the only exception are (Basic) Nodes, of which you can have up to 10

When the game starts, you receive 6 randomly choosen Cards from your Deck; a coin flip determines who goes first

===

TURN STRUCTURE:

When a Turn starts, your Deployment Points are raised to the maximum governed by the Nodes you have and you receive 1 randomly choosen Card from your Deck.
Then you can Deploy Ships and activate Tactics; Ships cannot Attack or perform Maneuvers on the same Turn on which they are Deployed (There are some exceptions to this rule)

After you are done with Deployment and Tactics (and Maneuvers), you can designate Attackers; they will target the Mothership and attempt to damage it.
Ships that performed Maneuvers cannot be designated as Attackers (though they can be used as Defenders). You do not have to declare any Attackers if you don't want to.

If you're done with the above, and if you declared any Attackers, they will now attack the enemy Mothership... unless the enemy is ready to put up some Defenders!
Defenders are the Ships that weren't assigned as Attackers; these can be used to intercept enemy Attackers.

If an Attacker is blocked by a Defender, the Attacker deals the damage to the Defender; if the Defender survives the encounter, it then deals damage to the Attacker.
After all Attackers finish their attacks (countered or not), your Turn ends, and the enemy's Turn begins.

Never mind.

[Haspen]

I didn't even see what you wrote there :I

[Sosoku234]

Sorry. I thought it was a different game. I am interested in playing though.

[tntey]

Ill try it

CARD GAMES!
_{I've always loved these ones.}

Spoiler: Tiruin's Deck (click to show/hide)

Name: The Imperial Flagship
HP: 115 [Terran]

DECKS:

Decks are comprised of up to 40 Cards: Ships, Tactics and Nodes.
You can have up to 4 copies of a Card in your deck; the only exception are (Basic) Nodes, of which you can have up to 10

When the game starts, you receive 6 randomly choosen Cards from your Deck; a coin flip determines who goes first

2x Engineering Cruiser [4]
3x Interceptor [3]
3x Kill-Sat [3]
2x Dreadnought [10]
3x Battlecruiser [5]
4x Battleship [4]
2x Missile Titan [8]
3x Missile Frigate [4]
3x Stealth Corvette [4]

4x Saboteur Team [3]
1x Shield Remodulation [4]
1x Call for Reinforcements [3*X]
1x Mothership Barrage [5]

3x Comms Array
4x Linkstation
1x Communications Hub

It's uncertain as to if maneuvers replace 'attacking'.
Does the deployment cost only mean 'enough to put the card into play', and when it's in play, it costs no deployment points to use a maneuver?
Does the "Maneuver: "Cloaking Field" This Ship cannot be harmed by non-Maneuver/non-Tactic attacks" replace an attack, or is it a passive maneuver?

[Haspen]

Maneuvers do not cost anything and you can use them instead of normal Attack. You can still use the ship for Defense after you use their Maneuver, and yes, some are passives.

Also you have 41 Cards in your deck (26 Ships, 7 Tactics, 8 Nodes) ;v

EDIT: Maneuvers that are passive now have [Passive] tag on them for clarity v:!

[BlitzDungeoneer]

PTW for now, since I guess the slots are full?

[Haspen]

Naw so far only Tiruin has a deck ready, and she needs to fix it first.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

oh

ok then

so, we can use any of the three deck types right

Edit: More relevant, what exactly does 'You can have only Drone Fabricator in play' mean?

[Haspen]

Means that you can have one Fabricator active; if you want to put down another, the first one needs to be destroyed.

[Insanegame27]

Room for one more?

[BlitzDungeoneer]

That's a bit confusingly worded, then. The way it's phrased seems to say it's the only card you can have in play at all, tbh.

[Haspen]

There, changed the wording for Hub and Fabricator to something (hopefully) less confusing ;v
