Forums / Roleplaying / Battle and interlect

Ok, this game is a mixture of several different things. You must guide your armies to victory, in one place, while reaching an agrrement of peace in another. you can debate over issues, and the winner gets a bonus to their army. below is the game in more detail:

Armies:

 everyone starts with a army of five thousand men, with no paricular abilities apart from basic fighting skills. this can be expanded however if debates are won. the reward for the debate winner will be decided upon when the debate is posted.

Negotiatations:

You can reach agreements with other players tio hep each other. To do this you must say how much of your army you will 'lend' out to help your ally whenever he requests it. other things like this must be decided upon by the two people forming a alliance.

Battles:

for your battles, you must post in this thread what you do in the battle, and the opponent then says a move they do. then all the others players, after a set amount of moves have been made, decide amongst themselves who is the victor.

Quests:

To prove your worth, you may go on quests. to go on a quest you post that you want one, then two to five quests to choose from will be presented to you. after you have completed the quest you get a bonus for your army. to compleete the quest you must post how you complete the quest. If you tell the tale well and in a good roleplaying style then you get the bonus. if not then you recieive nothing

The bonuses:

The bonuses will vary greatly depending on how they are earned. it may be a new weapon, new armour or new troops, it coudl be anything. even a tin of C.B

Dont mind how many people play as it is every man for himself. as many as I can get really, will start the game when I think we have enough players

Hey Erunion ^^

Islands is back  ^^

Debate! is the longbow more effective than the crossbow, or muskets better than them both!?

one person is wanted to debate in favour of one of the weapons! winner gets one hundred cavalry to add to their army!

[I know one hundred cavalry is not exactly what you would get from that kind ofthing normally, but I wanted to make it smething worthwile.]

*Might sets his Cow Horde to work marching*

Crossbow FTW! Crossbows can pierce armor and it makes the lowly peasant dangerous unlike the bow which requires training.

Because of it's overall efficiency, I choose the musket.
It's accuracy is similar to that of a crossbow or a longbow, it's effective range is similar to a crossbow, but shorter than a longbow. It's rate of fire is greater than a crossbow, but less than a longbow. However, of the three it is by far the easiest to produce and takes the least time to train effectively, has the greatest damage and armour penetration.

A longbow takes a lifetime of training to be effective, a crossbow takes a few weeks, and a musket takes a few days. The musket can pierce any armour of the time, the longbow and crossbow each could pierce most of the times armour. A musket has an effective range of 100 metres, the longbow 350 metres, and the crossbow 100-150 metres. With proper training, each has similar accuracy. A Longbow takes weeks to produce, and is made of supplies that become rapidly depleted and are hard to come by. A Crossbow is about the same. A musket can be made in a matter of hours, with resources easily come by. A Longbow takes about 5 seconds to fire accurately, a musket 15 seconds, a crossbow any where from 20 seconds to a minute, depending on crank used and skill of user. The longbowman and crossbowman each had to use a sword or other such thing for self defense, this took time and meant they couldn't fire when in combat, and were slaughtered by charging cavalry. A musket has a bayonet attached, which means the can fight effectively in hand to hand, fire in a melee, and slaughter cavalry.

Musket; excellent penetration, okay range, fantastic for close range, good accuracy, fair rate of fire, mass produced and equipped.
Crossbow; fair range, decent accuracy, useless at close range, must have other weapon and training for it, takes time to produce, fairly easy to use.
Longbow; Excellent range, very good rate of fire, decent accuracy, useless for self-defense, must have other weapon and training for it, takes ages to build, and even longer to train.

Overall impression. Longbows are good, but can't handle the numbers necessary for effectiveness, crossbow is just a pile of mediocrity, musket is decent with one man, and fantastic due to proper tactics and sheer weight of numbers.

I prefer the longbow, but the musket wins hands down.

k meowman. and you know about the quest, it said WARRIOR wanted, not warior and his army. the warrior goes on the quest alone. and about the debate, I gather that we have

Musket: Erunion

Longbow: Killer

Crossbow: Might

Apart from Erunion no-one has started the debate, so please post your part of it if taking part. As for the quest again, only one person gets to do it, so Erunion is the warrior on the quest as he posted for it first.

yes I did only start RPing a week ago, but I have been followin RPs for longer. And they will be called... ermmm... 'The Ankart Legionaries'! (That name came to my head completly randomly...)

Ok, so far Erunion is winning. might, if you want to win you are going to have to produce a extremely good piece of debate work.

After everyone has posted their initial reasons for their chosen weapon, then you can challenge each others summaries and such, debate about it basically

[duh]

How much gold do we start with?

oh yeah...lol. start with only ten gold. way to get more:

steal some

could be a quest reward, or debate reward.

work (maybe, not sure bout that one yet)

anyway, continue with the game folks. Erunion, you have a quest to go on, Umbr, you have a debate pieece to write.

and remember you can propose alliances or go to war at anytime you want

k......

*away to the far east, of septim, the tramp of boots reaches his ears. then revenges army come into site. they stop, and prepare their battle tactics*

[so you post here what you do, all non-combatants (the other players) vote on who wins after....say, 48 hours? or longer if neccessary]
