OT: Mystic Wars: (IT HAS BEGUN!!!!) Join Up

[Starhawk]

Ladies (if there are any here) and Gentlemen, as I said I would have the board war up by tomorrow, well it's tomorrow and here it is, as you may have gathered by the title this is going to hopefully be a series of BoardWars all taking part in a fictional, fantasy world.

The Way it works:
The way this works is rather simple, you will set up a kingdom (example below) and when I say go everyone will start playing....Travel between kingdoms takes at least two Posts-yours someone else's and on your next post your there- (unless the guy's kingdom is on the totally other side of the continent of yours)in which case it may take longer.
This is a game but it is also a story, so please don't be soo overly concerned with "winning" that you totally screw up the game for everyone else.

The Default species and their advantages

Humans: General humans
Elves: Lesser Versions of the LOTR styled elves

High Elves: Warhammer Style Elves

Dark Elves: Evil Version of High Elves

Orcs/Goblins: Warcraft style are called Orcs LOTR style are goblins

Werewolves: They are stronger then man and much nastier, though they have a habit of killing anything in sight be it friend or foe (you can NOT have an entire kingdom of Werewolves, they would be a special unit for evil only)

Creating a Species:
I will allow you to create a species as long as you don't go overboard I.E Kingdom of giants or the like.

To keep it in check:

Population:
Alright to keep people from raising a billion and one troops you WILL HAVE a population that you can raise into your army your starting population will only be 100,000 men:
You will get more people per 15 Posts (1 page for me)depending on how many cities you control (you start with 1) here is how the city+population: will work:

1 City= 10,000 people per 15 Posts
2 Cities= 20,000 per 15 Posts
Etc Etc

Gold:
GOLD is the "money of the realm" so to speak, you will spend gold to build cities and to raise troops, the process of raising troops will be explained later.

GOLD is the lifeblood of your society, you get 100 gold for every 1,000 persons not in the army per 1 (15 Posts) page so if you have 10,000 citizens in your cities you will gain 1,000 gold. (it’s a 10-1 ratio obviously).
Building more cities gets you more people each city starts with 10,000 persons but costs 8,000 gold and 1 page to create.

You can also pay other kingdoms or receive money from other kingdoms of course, depending on how you like spending your money or whatever deals you make that’s up to you.

Troops:

OKAY so here’s what you’ll be spending your money on, when your not making shady deals or building ships these are the general “troops” Category (this is all based on averages):

These are all “average” troops basically no special features or anything else just the general everyone is equal soldier of it’s class:

Peasant: poor quality, basically just given a low quality weapon and no armor (10 gold produces 200)

Light Infantry: These are the general light infantry forces armed with varying weapons depending on race/kingdom (15 gold produces 100)

Medium Infantry: (20 gold produces 100)

Heavy Infantry: (30 gold produces 100)

Archers/Skirmishers/Javeliners (10 gold produces 50)

Light Cavalry: (32 gold produces 60)

Medium Cavalry (45 gold produces 60)

Heavy Cavalry (50 gold produces 60)

(for every +1 point you devote to any of these categories your gold cost will increase by 2 per unit
If you give a +1 to a general Category (for example armor) all troop types go up by 2 gold per unit)

Points:
Well you’ve seen me discuss the points so here’s how that works:

Your kingdom starts off with 20+ points and 20- points, for every +1 point you spend to give yourself an advantage of any kind you must spend a -1

You can give yourself an advantage in just about any field you see fit, it all depends on your personal preferences (you can even use points to create a new species as stated above)
Examples of things you can put points to:
(either to a specific troop type or to your military overall)
Troop skills-increases the fighting skill of your soldiers and increases their chances of winning
Troop Armor bonus defense for your soldiers
Troop Weapons: High quality weapons are better against other folks’ armor
Gold Per Page: For every 1 point you get to this you will get 10% bonus to your income
Population Per Page: Same as Gold
And many other things J it’s all up to you as long as it is within reason

The Kingdom:
Every kingdom starts out with 3 cities, 40,000 citizens, and 2,000 light infantry/Archers and 1,000 Gold:
Here is what your kingdom should look like:

Kingdom Name:
Ruler:
Heirs:
