This Means War: Domination! Signups! Revised ruleset.
« on: March 11, 2011, 04:50:09 pm »

This is a forum wargame using ASCII. I'm drawing in Excel.

This is the second part of the campaign. It's a free-for-all. Alliances are allowed.

The map will be on tomorrow.

Rules:
 - You have $10000 to use on troops.
 - *You get funds of $100/turn.
 - *You may invest in funds in increments of +$10. (To upgrade to $110/turn, you pay $110 that turn).
 - *The game advances 10 moves every weekday, 50 moves every weekend.
 - You can move each guy 1 field tile*movement each turn. The world map shows region tiles, which are 10x10 field tiles.
 - Movement and ranges are shown in local (field) tiles.
 - If units come in range I will show a minimap. You then decide who to attack.
 - Transport vehicles have a 95% chance of destroying the units inside when they blow up.
 - Unloading transports removes all movement points from all units involved.
 - You may tell me a final coordinate for each squad and I will automatically move you there optimally.
 - *For each square taken you get $200. This only applies to ground units, and there must be at least one foot soldier in the squad for that to happen.
 - *Troops take 2 turns to "make", vehicles take 4 turns.
 - *Tech is uncovered by buying advances.
 - *You may build buildings, as shown in the end. This is still in beta testing.
 - Ask any questions in-game and I will add it here.

*New rules.

To Make an Army:
 - Post "In - Reserved"
 - Buy all your units
 - Divide it into squads (A, B, C, J, Z, etc.)
 - Select a start sector.
 - Choose end coordinates.
 - Profit!

The units will look like this:

NVM. I want to see the map.
click on the link to the last game, there is the map there. It will be divided into sectors...
woah just realized that won't work.

It's midnight here and I'm going to sleep though, XD.
If you guys want a new map, just give some suggestions. I made a random map generator, but it didn't work (looked like a map of the earth after asteroid bombardment  :P). It will be bigger than last time though.

Be sure to read all of the OP since I added quite a bit of new stuff, including buildings, upgrades, some unit notes, etc.

Cool.
Wait what?
That will move effectively but very, VERY slowly. Are you sure?
Also: keep some cash as backup, everyone. You will need it. Also remember that this is against EVERYONE ELSE now, just to help you get your strategies.

If your making a new map I would say make it mostly continent, and make all the land connected so you don't have to have air, or sea units to win. Make all the bases combine at one big plain area were there will be huge battles between almost all side. Anything else anyone wants to add ?

don't forget that you can buy and make more units  ;) I really suggest you re-read *everything* to make sure you don't miss on anything.

I'll make it a map with 3 landmasses, a huge one, a big one, and a small one. There will be islands.
I'll split it up into territories too.
