Medieval Wargame v1
MOD=Teapot
Turn based wargame based in medieval times.
Starting Credits Per Turn: 15
Objective: In this game, it is your goal to take over Europe, whether it be total conquest, or be conquered by allied nations.
How to play: To play, it is simple, just sign up and and pick what spot on the map you would like. Once the game starts you will creat a thread with your Country/Province name and in that thread you will list all of your purchases and dealings with your kingdom. There will aslo be an official thread where you list your purchases. It will be your responsability to keep your thread up to date, if it falls behind you can, and probably will be penalized in some way shape or form.
Map -
OK, instead of choosing Britain or something like that, to make this the simpliest of the wargames, so you can play it real quick and not use much time on it..just pick a number, and that will be you, in this version, every person will have the same units. pick a number and a Kingdom name, it can be whatever you want.
Turn One Rules
On turn one everyone will be giving 100 credits, and that is all you will have on turn 1 you do not get the 15 credit income for that day. With these credits you can only build military units. Any unused credits will carry over however. Then you can use them for anything you'd like.
Buildings
Fortress - The castle is the heart of every Empire, from this castle you can gaurd your king (you) and defend your empire. If this is destroyed, you are out of the game. However, units at the Fortress fight more skillful than units attacking, which means it will tough for the attackers to take the Fortress, you start out with 1 Fortress and you CAN NOT build anymore
Castle - The castle is your main defensive structure, from these the units can garrison inside and shoot arrows down on the attackers, archers only. Also all other units stationed at the castle will fight better in battle.
(cost 15 credits)
Tower - These are weak structures used for defending, very weak if not defended by unts.
(cost 8 credits)
Farms - These are just what they sound like they are farms
(adds +4 to credit income)
Market -The market, a great source of income for you income hogs. With the market you use trade carts,trade wagons, and trade caravans, each generating a different amount of gold, credits, per turn.
(cost-15 credits)
Farm Cost
Credit Income-----Cost
15-24----------------25
25-34----------------35
35-44----------------45
45-54----------------55
55-64----------------65
65-74----------------75
Attacking
When attacking, basicly you say which province you are attacking, and what units are attacking. If you would like, you can go more in depth, the more detail you put in, the more favorable your outcome will probably be, however that is not required.
Credits for Non-Player Nations[i]
For each province you take over that is not controlled by a player you will get +5 cpt.
[i]Credits for Player controlled Nations
If you take over a province controlled by another player, you will recieve 1/4th of the credits per turn that they get per turn.
Info About Non-Player Countries
These provinces will be controlled by me, for the most part they will be easy to beat, but the longer the game does go on, the stronger they will get. They will have a military that i will keep track of. Basicly each of the non player provinces will recieve 50 credits the first turn, and then 8 credits for every turn after, and their military will be done by me.
Units
Basic Infantry Units
Short Swordsman - The basic sword-weilding infantry unit, carrys a short sword
and shield to battle, nice anti-infantry armor, preforms well against other
infantry, but can have a hard time fighting off other players archers, unless
your swordsmen outnumber the opposing players archers, almost worthless against
a group of Horses
(cost: 4 credits)
Long Swordsman - the basic sword weilding infantry unit, it carries a long heavy
sowrd to battle, slightly more expensive than the short swordsman but slower,
therefore it will be weaker against enemy archer attacks, but on the other side
it is more effective against enemy cavalry and infantry
(cost: 5 credits)
Pikeman - an infantry unit armed with a large spear, it doesnt have much armor,
but are very effective against enemy horses, swordsmen and archers can really
cause problems for this unit though
(cost: 3 credits)

quick infantry unit, mainly used for scouting and hit-and-run raiding, not
recomended for traditional combat

units ecxept cavalry, good for hit and run attacks as well
(cost: 6 credits)

and shield for an attack, great against all units except spearmen and camels,

some armor and a medium sized sword to attack with, faster than the knight

this is a toned down version of what the first was going to be like, it is toned down, to make it easier to play, which means it will require less time. in future games of this, there may be a simple version very similar to this, and a harder more complex version for the hard core players, ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I know that this might seem silly the way your location on the map is done and what not, but..it does make it simpler, and makes it so you do not have to know the land and such which will make it easier..which will make it playable by ALL

Kingdom Name: Kingdom of Savoy
Starting Province (#): 30
Capital City(In that province): Torino
--------------------
Decima MAS
  \
When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!
Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!
To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

starting province = 70
Province name = Ukrain
Capitol city = Kiev
Ruller name = Baron Roddy
i want 70 as the startpoint, tried to figure out what country that is, and the closest i got was "its part of the Ukrain." and i like Kiev so..... but if i missed it by a country (or two?) tell me and i'll rename it to something more 'geographicaly appropriate'

lol

i got another question.
why the boat units?
there are no seas to put them in.
or is that black space all over the map supposed to be one HUGE water 'province'. how far can a boat go in one turn?

yes..the black area is all water, and the boats can move to the next province over each turn, same rules for ground units, they can only go into neighboring provinces
