RPG war

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

RPG war

I came up with this idea today, thinking about the terrible downfall of the 'rule you own nation' thread, i decided to create a game where you command an army and blast another poster to smithereens.

You come up with your own units, buildings, aircraft, whatever, but you have to have the neccesary resources to build them.

All fighting is done on a one on one mathematical hit ratio level, all done by me, i do unit position managing, damge level monitoring, all that stuff.

Any takers?

Ill post stat and mapping stuff soon

Basically, i use excell for a 80X80 grid of the battlefield, any units on any side have a form that is filled out that has weapon damage, cost, armour, etc.
You have an adjustable amount of turns, which can be used to build units, move units, etc...
Its the game diversity is limited by you imagination, and with me at the CPU as such, we wont have people using hyper-nukes to blast everyone unsell they have reaserched it, balanced it, paid for it, and spent the time to build it.

It is land based, with water(maybe) and aircraft

Spreadsheets and RPG's don't mix... use a random number generator if your set on using ANYTHING and change it's formulae ALOT

Sounds interesting...also a REALLY good idea would be to have a ridiculous war thread. Everyone can invent whatever weapons they want whenever and however, and each post tries to top the last perhaps starting off with nuke pistols and developing into "phased shockwave generators that destroy your whole galaxy"

You mean a cheeze duel, it gets old, fast if done too often
