Lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully.
I'm starting a hilarious experimental project inside the famous TPTMP.
Do you know the game "Dune II"? Or "Command & Conquer"?
Now it came the time to make something like it in TPT!
How will this work?
The main principles are very simple. I create a room in TPTMP, make a map inside it, establish the currency and start the game.
In order to not overload server, it will be turn-based. Players gain money, build units and buildings and try to survive as long as they can.
Which factions will we have?
I created 4 playable factions. In order to make all of them unique among others, I made them all hybrids.
So we got:
1.Vulpeomorphic hybrids, which rely on stealth technologies
2.Lupeomorphic hybrids, which rely on brute force
3.Felinomorphic hybrids, which rely on high-tech machinery
And...
I haven't thought what can the fourth faction be, so you can suggest your own thoughts.
Note: this is not associated with North Korean cartoon which I heard about recently, that's because I haven't figured out the fourth faction yet.
What would the gameplay be like?
You start in isolated place somewhere. You have some units and a capital, which you need to protect. If the capital is captured , you lose.
Every turn you can:
1.Move units
2.Attack enemies
3.Build factories (which produce units) and cities (which produce money)
4.Sit and wait
Your main goal is to capture all the capitals on map before enemies capture yours.
You can form agreements with other players, but you can't make permanent peace.
What the hierarchy of players will be like?
From top to bottom:
Supreme patron - he controls the game like a moderator, it'll be me
Supreme vice-patron - he helps supreme patron
Players - obviously, they play the game
When it starts?
Probably on some Sunday. First, if you want to play, you will need to choose your faction and comment it here. About 10 minutes before the start, I will PM you name of the room.
I have some questions about this, where can I ask them?
Right here.
Feel free to leave suggestions, ask questions, say your opinion - I'll answer you all.
Thank you for your attention.
Note: this post will be updated every time something new happens, so check it often if you are interested
Update:
There will be 3 types of units: land, naval and special, like nukes
Update.
I figured out some variants of fourth faction.
1.Caninomorphic hybrids, which rely on exploitation of captured enemy resources and buildings
2.Hyenamorphic hybrids, which will have an ability to make enemy units work for them
Or...
3.A whole faction of Hanses and other robots, like E100 series
There is also number 4, abyssomorphic hybrids, but I think they're too dark for such a strategy.
I don't know... I'll think about it.
Very good, you're accepted. We have 1,5 members. We need 2,5 more.
Oh... now we have only one member. And I still don't think humans as a faction would fit in such a strategy.
By the way, I have some new ideas about the fourth faction.
Arietomorphic hybrids - bonuses in speed
Ericiomorphic hybrid - bonuses in defence
And I remember something about some sort of mecha-animal hybrid which I saw one day in TPT, but I can't recall its name. That would be a cool faction, though.
Does somebody else want to join?
