Forums / In game politics / Nirvana Wars (Era 36)

Mcmax, as you know i would love to have fun i need to spend my time training my new members as much as possible.

I was spending my time training members too...unfortunately one thing led to another aaaaaand....boom!

yeah i think that would be a better idea...

1 guy vs kd is wrong

The war with FF started as Faketortise vs an entire kd.

Then before ZZ was formed I took on all of FF alone in the south as well.

So Mystic; enjoy it!

As far as i know Hell was never going to war ZZ or at that time Faketortise /myself & Heavenly against FF .
Once ZZ was formed it was only natural we allign with each other again FF.

Well we were thinking Hell would war us because we were like the only two KDs on Nirvana.  While we were building up, Ms Faketortise came out of nowhere and built a city right in the middle of our core.  My thoughts were something along the line of "wtf is this person doing?"  I went to a party and woke up the next afternoon to find that it apparently was an armory...and I lost my main mine.  No warning at all so if anyone says anything different then they are lying through their teeth. 

Why not have scouts around the other most powerful KD in the world? It lets you know where everyone is.  We had scouts all over the world so we could figure out where we needed our defenses...but I guess the past is in the past...

It is the past and all we seem to be doing is arguing over the same thing, i doubt we will ever agree on who started what , so ill go back to' farming ' ... its hard trying to get Nazguls to pull farm machinery ...

either way

FIN

= D

It's cool.  I don't mind but just realize that I started the era much later then the rest of you guys and gals.

Scientist never replies to people's messages...he ignores them -_-;  I thought most people would figure that out...one reason I think he need*beep* over the head at times <_<  I never like that strategy of ignoring everyone...(probably because last era we got sp@mmed with so many insults against us from nub players it wasn't even fun to read them anymore)

Hiroshima broke nap?

tsk tsk

i wish i had more tree

and i also wish some people would buy my stone.

if a member of yor kd is a mage and can cast StG then it would definately be profitable for you to buy it, its like 14 million stone.

:p

Stop for a moment and think about those men and women you guys killed :P

Mystic has fought like 1/4th the battles Barney has but has like half the kills ;)

Half of ZZ is ex-LGC

That explains the feeling like I was on Fant for a moment -_-

Check the top army.

Your 1v1 is on the way.

Mystic has fought like 1/4th the battles Barney has but has like half the kills ;)

That part of the HoH is kind of broken. Obviusly kills at the start of the era don't really count as much. If I killed five 7k armies right OOP it gets discredited by the fact that someone could just siege a big city later in the era and pass me.

I clearly dominate everyone in captured cities and victories; and no matter how far I fall off of that HoH I'm still the most fearsome; yet sparing; ruler in Nivanna.

That wouldn't be a horrible concept; but it needs to be much more specific and polished up. Maybe divide the era into 100 tick intervals and have kill records on those?

I think next era I will call myself Mr. Barny the Plaguefiend, and just focus on studying all of the magic spells and deriving their formulas; and of course spreading the plague.

In setting paths past your blockers and inevitably crossing outside the map's boundaries and getting error messages; I had an epiphany. I found a great unit for judging the distance on the maps; in order to derive a formula for the affects of magic towers and magic power decay over distance. When outside of the maps boundaries it gives an error message for each of the possible 5 points on an armies movement. It provides coordinates; and thus an accurate measure of distance. Because this is a built in unit for distance; I can assume that it is incorporated into the formulas for distance and magic power. A scout moves 19 of these units per 1/5 of a tick and thus 95 units per tick; so using these units would be an incredibly viable way for players to use the formula I will soon make in order to judge their magic power at any given point because anyone can make a scout and count the ticks away from something they then multiply it by 100.

Also; using these units allows precise measurements of speed lost from army sizes.

Here is an example:

A scout can move 95 Barnys a tick (Yes, I am calling the unit Barnys; although they are probably just pixels.)

A division (20k) moves 55 Barnys a tick.
A corps (50k) moves 50 Barnys a tick.

Hopefully at this point you have established the relation here.


.000001Scout = 1-7 soldiers
1 Section = 8-11 soldiers
2 Platoon = 12-50 soldiers
3 Company = 51-299 soldiers
4 Battalion = 300-1499 soldiers
5 Regiment = 1500-3999 soldiers
6 Brigade = 4000-9999 soldiers
7 Division = 10,000-19,999 soldiers
8 Corps = 20,000-89,999 soldiers
9 Army = 90,000-199,999 soldiers
10 Group of armies = 200,000-999,999 soldiers or a merge
11 Horde = More then one million soldiers.

Here is the formula for army speed, unit measured in Barnys:

95 - (Army size number x 5)

Lol, I'll get on that. I;m trying to compile a very large guide about everything technical in VU; and this is a good start.

Barnys will become the standard unit of VU distance., not pixels. Oh yeah, pretentious.

The armies could have speed ratings too, for example a Company could move at 12 kilobarneys per hour...or 12kbph.

Come back Mystic!!! We miss you :(

Here's something I should have know considering how many era's I've been in the game:

I found that when you have more magic power then your targets magic defense to a certain degree; then their magic defense actually doesn't reduce your magic power at all. I really should have know that by now...

Oh, and the Barny unit is working really well as a distance unit. You get EXACTLY 100% of your magic power at 50 Barnys; but I'm still going to have to play around with this a bit.

I'm done *beep*ming my own thread with non-Nirvanna related stuff. I'm going to try to get formulas for the following by the end of next era; send me a message in-game if you have any more formulas you might want me to gather up.

Magic power over distance
Enemy magic defense's roll
Percentage of spell success' with magic power
MU death/injury rate of various spells
Death/injuries of armies in skirmishes; and military sciences' roll
Peasant growth rate; affect of medical science and taverns, jobs ect.
Morale of cities after attacks
Extensive look into plague
Enemy losses on RoF
Specific look into ALL spells
Potential enemy resource gains from capturing a city
Rate of Wreckage decay
How EXACTLY troop and building costs scale with total land

Obviously this list is really incomplete; I WANT you all to send me messages with things to test. I've played this game for over 16 eras and I still don't know the exact formulas... that's just shameful. I'll make a thread for the formulas next era and update it a lot. Until then, this thread needs more war discussion =)

Hell; how is the FA war going?
What's PF up to?
Any bets on how many ticks FF has left? I'm gonna guess... 60 tops.

How is the FA war going ?

Pretty even 1 city lost each so far and Wolfenstein still has a formidable city in Wolf hate that is a worry.

It is with much pleassure I notice, that RoC have been invited into this Hell/FA conflict by FA's mr. Xelos.
