[JYAP]

Hiya Song Bird! Couldn't register?

Oh,Dredoc,Song wants to help with our PvP idea. We should start with it.

[Protoss119]

Way ahead of you. I've already completed the game plan - a list or tutorial of some sort that will tell people everything about the module so they have a good idea of what they can help with. If you need me to post it, I will.

Song Bird, welcome to the Elemental Battlegrounds forum! Make yourself at home.

[JYAP]

Well do it! :razz:

[Protoss119]

Right then.

Fortz Base PVP
By JYAP and Protoss119
Welcome to Fortz! In this game, you and up to 8 other players control a base on sides of a 32x32 map. Your objective? Gain the most gold by the end of the round! This objective is made easy because - this is the best part - YOU control your entire base!

Choosing Spawns
Spawns are the basic foot soldiers of your forces. They represent your military power. At the beginning of the game, you can choose a set of spawns to form your army. Each set includes different spawning speeds, creatures, etc. The following sets of spawns exist:
-Draconics - Some of the strongest of fighters but very low AC and slow spawn speed.
-Fiends - Not as strong as Draconics but a little bit faster spawn speed.
-Shadows - Physically weak, but good sneak classes. Medium spawn speed.
-Mephits - Extremely weak, but have fast spawn speed.
-Tieflings - All around.
-Undead - Godly Constitution, but slow movement speed. Medium spawn speed.

At the base
Your base includes artillery cannons, spawns awaiting orders, and your vault in which you keep gold in. First, talk to your spawns and tell them what to do, including attacking, defending, roaming, etc, and they will comply as they spawn.

Turrets
Certain Turrets can be placed around your base for protection. You can man them and fire them at enemies, provided you succeed at a Lore check for most turrets. These are some of the turrets in the game:

Tranquilizer:Succeed at a Lore check of DC 14. Enemy hit by tranqulizer falls asleep for 2 rounds.
Missile Turret:Magic Missile is launched at enemy. Does 1d4+1 damage.
Flamethrower:Succeed at a Lore check of DC 14. Fires Burning Hands spell.
Darkness Turret:Fires a field of Darkness at a location for 2 rounds.
Blinder:Succeed at a Lore check of DC 14. Blinds an enemy for 2 rounds.
Strength Killer:Succeed at a Lore check of DC 14. Decreases enemy Str by 2 for 2 rounds.

On the Battlefield
Killing an enemy spawn gives you 25 GP, whereas killing a player gives you 50 GP. Attack an enemy vault and the PC owning that vault loses half of their GP, where you gain twice as much as he/she lost. There is no XP gain in this module other than purchasing levels or XP packets to gain XP.

Mercenaries
You can hire people to do your bidding for you, be it aiming an turret (this makes it lose some rate of fire), steal from someone, etc.
Events
Aside from the usual battle here and there, both normal and supernatural events occur in the game.
Bandits:A gang of L1 Rogues attack you and for each time they hit you, you lose some GP.
Divine Intervention:Generates random spells throughout the area.
Killing Spree:A random mercenary appears and starts killing people. Upon defeating him, you get half the amount of gold needed to hire him.
Apocalypse:ALL of the mercenaries appear and attack bases.
High Noon:A bunch of bandits with heavy crossbows and L33T AB start attacking.
Fascination Field:A random space on the map becomes host to a Fascination Field. Any PC entering the Fascination Field must make a Will Save or be dominated. A dominated PC just stands there doing nothing.
Favored by the Gods:Each Round, all PCs of a specific alignment take 3d8 points of damage until all alignments have been covered.

Also note that there are items in the game that can come of advantage to you. Enjoy playing Fortz!

Well, that seems to cover everything. I'm thinking about adding time bombs - thingies with Unique Powers that, when used, creates a placeable equivalent to the item. After 2 turns (2 minutes), the placeable casts an AOE spell, ranging from Firestorm to Earthquake to Storm of Vengeance, etc. and dissapears. They cost a lot, though. For example:

Acid Fog Bomb:After 2 turns, it casts Acid Fog on itself.

[JYAP]

Let me suggest some more stuff.

Races:

Animals:Incredibly fast,but weak attack. Between medium and fast spawn rate.
Familiars:Best casters,but crappy fighters. Between slow and medium spawn rate.

Turrets:

Artillery:Lore Check DC 16. Deals 20 damage to a random turret.
Quillfire:Animals only. Fires 1d4 quills per use at a target. Eventually has to reload after 20 shots.
Nightfall:Shadows only. Lore Check DC 16. Covers entire battlefield in a darkness spell for 2 rounds.
Seeker:Familiars only. Lore Check DC 16. Fires a slow moving elemental arrow towards the closest player. Arrow deals 2d6 elemental damage.
Plague:Undead only. Plagues targets in a cone ahead of turrets for -2 to Con and Str.
Airstrike:Lore Check DC 18. Middle is hit by several meteors for 2d8 per meteor.
Support:Mephit only. 1d2 bolt,generates 3 bolts for multiple targets.
Hellbringer:Fiend only. Lore Check DC 24,calls hell on the enemy turrets for a whopping 50 damage each. Destroyed after use.
Barrier:Generates a wall of energy that repels enemies trying to move past. Barrier lasts for 5 rounds,and is destroyed if turret is destroyed.

All turrets get 150 HP and 25% vulnerability to all physical.

I suggest a nerf to the vault. Gold stolen=Damage x 2.

Mercenaries:

Goblin Turret Crew:Mans your turrets,but kills your RoF. Not too costly.
Goblin Kamakazi Crew:Goblins with dynamite on them. If they hit a turret,20 damage to the turret+goblin dies. Bout 2-2.5x more than Turret Crew.
Goblin Sabotage:Throws a monkey wrench in enemy turrets,ceasing fire for 3 rounds. MUCH more costly.
Rain Mirnimane:Can you say,wipeout? A little less than buying a direct level-up.
Song Bird with a microphone and speaker:Sings for your army,giving +2 to all attributes,AC,AB,and damage. About half as much as Rain.
Dredoc Anthorngleas:SNIPERFEST YO! Dredoc will stay in your base and pick off random players for 1 turn. About as much as Song Bird.
Vesin o cara mais foda:One hell of a wail slays all spawns on the field regardless of team. A little less than Song.
Barrey Klenner:Jingle bells,Bigby smells...Barrey casts Bigby's Forceful Hand on all PCs. 1.5x more than Song.
Thox:Randomly roams around the middle,FoDing/PKing whatever enemy he sees. A little more than Barrey.
Almuric:Turns your base invulnerable. As much as Thox.
Non-Special variant:When hiring one of the above,you can neglect their special skill and use them as a regular mercenary.

Events:
Got nothing.

Items:

The Acid Fog Bomb sounds easy. Unique Power Self Only Single Use. It creates a Acid Fog Bomb structure on the ground that explodes and uses the spell after the time is up.

Turret Masher(Club):1d6 Bludgeon,-5 AB
Magi Mallet(Magic Staff):1d6 Bludgeon,+2 AB
Battlemage Armor(Robe):+1 AC,Slashing/Piercing DR 5/-

Record of Barney's song:Plant in enemy's base and watch it rot. 5 damage per round to everything,including turrets. Lasts until wrecked. 20 HP.
XP Packet(100):Buy this to get 100 exp.
XP Packet(500):Buy this to get 500 exp.

Banner:If you're holding this,all gold recieved is doubled. Goes kapoof after 3 turns of being equipped.
Regenerator:When bought,is placed in base. All spawns get Regeneration +1 until the Regenerator is destroyed. It has 150 HP and 100% vulnerability to all physical.
Dark Summoner:When bought,is placed in base. After 20 turn,it creates the strongest unit in the game for you. The Summoner has 100 HP and 100% vulnerability to everything.

Hero Statue(Master Wizard) (lore check 22 DCCasts Wail of Banchee at an enemy has 1 hp

[JYAP]

The problem with those is that a turret dealing direct damage will scrap those turrets.

[Protoss119]

OK, these are all good ideas...but where do we begin?

[Halfwingseen]

your right lets do this
All hero statues ability:
Sacred: will not be touched by direct damage only desicration ( physically attacking )

[Almuric]

Did you guys find a scripter?

[JYAP]

Dredoc and Halfwing can both script,and I think Song Bird can work on the map if she wants to help. I can't do diddly squat besides beta test and suggest,so any help is welcome Al.

Turrets:

Fire/Lightning/Acid/Whatever turret:Lore check DC 20. Draconics only. Fires the breath weapon of the chosen dragon.

[JYAP]

More stuff! Just because we can revamp EW doesn't mean we should drop this!

Races:
Goblins:All mercs are 1/2 off. Weak otherwise. Medium spawn speed.

Mercs:
Ogre Group:3 level 4 ogres attack a base.
Orc Raiders:5 level 2 orcs attack a base.

Red/Black/White Dragon Statue:See above with matching element.
Ancient Blue/Red/Black/White Dragon Statue:Dragons only. 1d10 instead.

I'm the only one suggesting... :-(

[Protoss119]

We should actually put this ahead of revamping Eternal War...besides, I'm happy with EW - Annihilation the way it is at the moment.

Events (my fave):

LAGBALL - Drops a hellball somewhere on the battlefield but not on a base - use Waypoints to denote where the hellball will strike.

Plague and Pestilience - A specific area on the map is covered with disease. Anyone who enters this area suffers a disease visual effect and loses 5 HP everyone 1 round and 1 point in Constitution every 5 rounds. The diseased field lasts for 3 turns and then disappears. The peeps affected by the plague and pestilience effect do not regain any lost Constitution points/HP unless healed/restored/etc.

The End of the World As We Know It - The rarest of the rarest of the rare events. Meteor Swarms dot the area as well as Incediary Clouds.

[Halfwingseen]

event:
*even rareer than rare of the end of the wolrd as we know it*
And i feel fine: greater spell mantle on every player and merc

[JYAP]

Mercs:
Troll Band:2 level 3 trolls attack a base.

Turrets:

Events:
AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!:Rain,Snow,Sleet,Hail,and Heat Mirnimane spawn and cause...well,hell. Only occurs near the end of the round,and it's about a 10% chance.

Hurricane Wilma hit. And I'm not happy about going without computer for 15 hours. Sigh. The ups and downs of living in Miami.

[JYAP]

Races:
Noobs:Somewhat...powerful. They take double damage from everything,so they have short life spans,however. Slow-medium spawn rate.
Mercenaries:No spawns. Period. However,all unnamed mercs(Rain,Dredoc,etc.)are free of charge. Turret prices are doubled.

Breacher:Literally breaches open a base. Fires 5 fireballs(caster level assumed to be 7)at a base,and summons a random unnamed merc. Scraps self afterwards.

[JYAP]

Systems:
Bank:At the cost of 2.5x the gold you're putting in there,you can store gold for some other time.
Spawner:You can buy extra spawners,to a max of 3. You can set each one to spawn fighter,rogue,or caster.
Quikshop:Buy for the round to be able to shop while fighting. The quikshop has weaker items however.

EB:NOW it's their avatars.

Say,how's Annihilation going?

[Protoss119]

Darth Vaaaadderrrrrr...~drools~

[Unregistered-JYAP]

Really,how's Annihilation going? I'll drop everything and come back if there's a balanced EW. Serious!

[Unregistered-JYAP]

More Turrets!

Necromancer: Undead only. When used,creates a zombie at where someone recently died. Self-destructs after 10 uses.
Counterfeit: Produces 5 gold a turn unless...(20 HP)

Golden EXP: Produces 5 gold and 10 exp per turn.
Super/Mega/Ultra Counterfeit/EXP Generator: Gain 10/15/20 gold/15/20/25 exp per turn. -10/-13/-19 HP.
Full Auto: 10 HP, but fires 5 1d6 bullets every round for 15 rounds. After 15 rounds it runs out of ammo and is cannon fodder.
Crossbow: 1d10 bullet,but can critical. If it does,10d10 damage.
Sniper: Hits a PC for 1d8 damage. Only targets PCs,from whatever range.
Super/Mega/Ultra Sniper: Add 1d8 more with each level.

Thief: Steals 1 gold from all players' vaults per round. 10 HP.
Rogue: 3 gold instead. 5 HP.
Guardian: This tower draws fire from all direct damage towers until destroyed. 300 HP.
Armageddon: When built,a 30 turn countdown begins. At the end,EVERYTHING is destroyed. The player gets exp for everything killed x 2. Cannot be destroyed. Since everything is destroyed,the round ends automatically after it triggers.
Fog: Creates fogs everywhere on the battlefield,reducing enemy AB by 2.

Have fun. And please,not all the towers should be in.

[Protoss119]

I haven't heard from Song Bird in a while, so I dunno.

Spawns:

Confederacy of Independent Systems: Battle Droids, Battle Droids, and more Battle Droids - these are superb ranged guys. Low HP, but great AB and all-around damage. Medium to fast spawn speed. The following units are part of the CIS spawns:

Battle Droid - carries a +1 light crossbow and bolts. Gets Rapid Reload feat.
Assault Droid - carries a -2 heavy crossbow with bolts that hit targets with a L1 fireball. Does NOT get Rapid Reload feat.
Assassin Droid - carries a +3 heavy crossbow with bolts that do 1d4 extra piercing damage. Does NOT get Rapid Reload feat.
Droid Engineer - carries this dagger that has -1 to damage and can repair turrets, etc. Can also man and fire turrets.

Mercs:

General Grievous - Carries two rapiers and has all the two-weapon fighting feats. Tough, but thankfully slow. Costs 3/4 as much as Thox.

Events:

OMFG it's cold - all mercs and spawns are frozen (stoned) and players take 1 Cold damage each round.

Cage - cages everyone in a certain area of the battlefield for 5 rounds. This makes them subject to ranged attacks.

[Unregistered-JYAP]

;_;

Systems:
Favorite Shop: Sell items here to be added to the shop,so you don't need to go through all the other crap to get to the stuff you want/need/like.
Randomizer: Before choosing a race to fight with,choose this. The race will be randomly chosen and your turrets are automatically set up.
Workshop: Here,you can spend gold to create a monstrous customizeable golem to attack/defend/heal/nuke/serve/whatever.
Forge: Here,you can spend a metric ton of cash to create a customizeable weapon. I really mean the metric ton part.
Trainer: If you're willing to expose your base to whatever punishment your opponents can think of,you can go here to fight your own spawns. After awhile,your spawns will level up.

Races:
Dud: Only available from Randomizer. Basically what it says,so you're ****ed over if you get this. Only redeeming point is +5 gold a kill bonus.
Thief Guild: Thieves are too lazy to actually FIGHT. Instead,they go directly for the vault to steal gold. Of course,they have the staying power of a piece of styrofoam. All thieves are level 1 with very good stealth skills. Medium spawn rate.
Barbarians: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! The exact opposite of the thieves,the barbarians just want to kill crap! Incredibly strong(about 3 can take a dragon),but won't lay a finger on the turrets. Slow spawn rate.
Siege: There's a spawn slayer and a vault slayer. Why not a turret slayer? All damage turrets are unavailable(i.e. Gatling,Crossbow,Dragonslayer)and are replaced with special siege towers to assault the enemy turrets. Spawns? Those are for squares!

Turrets:
Dud: Pray you don't get this.
Ballista: Siege. 5 damage, 5 shots/turn.
Catapult: Siege. 20 damage, 1 shot/2 turns,hits all.
Battering Ram: Siege. 10 damage, 1 shot/round.
Trebuchet: Siege. 30 damage, 1 shot/3 turns.
Cannon: Siege. 15 damage, 1 shot/turn
Chainzap: Sends a jolt through a target for 1d6 damage. This jolt hits another target for the same amount,then another,then another,until every enemy spawn has been hit once. Short-circuits after use.
Flameguard: Drops a baselong Wall of Fire 3 walls thick. Incinerates itself.
Earthcrack: The entire arena is bombarded with a quake for 10d4 damage. Destroyed on use.
Flashfreeze: All PCs are frozen solid for 1 turn. Shatters on use.

Quick note: Siege towers have 50 HP. I WANT MY ACCOUNT!

[Protoss119]

Almuric and I are working on a way to get your password to you.

Al, if you are reading this, post JYAP's password NOW, while he's still here.

[Almuric]

too early in the morning for me :P

[Protoss119]

JYAP said in the guest-friendly insanity thread:


I can be on tomorrow at practically any time. Just not past 9 PM or before 5 AM,or during 4-7PM.

So if you are going to post his password, I would follow these directions. Sorry if I'm a bit bossy today.

[Unregistered-JYAP]

Please don't ask how I can come up with all these ideas. I don't know myself.

Systems:
Anti-Noob System: Tired of this noob being an ass in general? Use this to place him in jail for a certain amount of time. Mostly if some idiot is acting like a jerk to a highbie. The base is made invulnerable while the noob is absent,but the spawns will stop spawning.
Anti-Spawner: You can make as many anti-spawners as you can spawners. Anti-spawners will slow down a spawner's rate of spawning. If all 3 are working on the same spawner,it'll shut down completely. They're quite pricey though.
Options: Duh. First player on can change the options of the next round,including available turrets/items/races/systems/events.

Turrets:
Chance 2: Like the first one with different outcomes.
1: You die. Simple enough.
2: One of your towers explodes messily and destructively.
3: A event is triggered.
4: All players are hit by Harm.
5: You gain 1000 gold from each player.
6: The spawners shut down for a randomly chosen player. All spawns that were supposed to come out count as kills for the activating player.
Chance 3: The risky version.
1: All of your turrets explode.
2: All your spawners shut down.
3: You lose half your gold.
4: The next merc you hire will turn on you.
5: You're trapped in a cage with several Blade Barriers.
6: Every enemy turret gets nuked. All players instantly die. You gain 1/6 of every player's total gold.
Zerg Rush: ZERG RUSH OMG(Translation: 2d8 spawns attack a base. Must be built in the first 5 turns. One use only.)
Focuser: All your spawns will attack one base only instead of multiple bases.
Meteor Caller: Drops Meteor Swarms on the enemy base. Why yes,it does hurt. Yes,the tower blows up after use.
Trickster: Oneshot. The next turret built turns into...
Prank: Hah. Find the bastard that used this and smack him for turning your 50K turret into a worthless 1 HP piece of crud.
Quickshot: No reload whatsoever. Fires a 1d4 pierce bolt.
Lightspeedshot: Click and someone is hit for 1d10 piercing damage. That simple.
Storm: Combine with...
