CYOF 8: The New Dawn Sign-up Thread

Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:09 pm by Lord Emperor

Okay, so I'll start it in a week or so. I want everyone who wants to participate to sign up ASAP, I plan to start either Monday (if nothing goes wrong, which I'm not really sure) or sometimes next week. To attract more players, all factions are now open to everyone , even to completely new players. Only Houses will be prioritely given to players who have played CYOF before, but anyone can play one if none of the 'veterans' decides to do so. However, I'd advise not to, as larger factions are much harder to control, especially for newcomers.

As it is becoming kind of a tradition, as the game's admin, I will claim House Liberty.

The game will be played by the CYOF 5/6 rules. If you see any errors, misconceptions or unclear things in them, ask here.

Excel Turn Calculator
Starting Bases for All Factions
Online Nav Map

Another thing, I'll need someone to send me the battle calculator, as the online version isn't working for me. If that won't happen, I'll probably code a new one anyway, but it'd be better if I didn't have to.

Currently claimed factions:
Liberty (House) - Lord Emperor
Kusari (House) - Hawk of Prey
Corsairs (Large, Major Pirate) - chupa
Mollys (Small, Minor Pirate) - tyl110
Outcasts (Large, Major Pirate) - Spiketail
Bretonia (House) - The Creator
Independent Miners Guild (Large, Miner) - Supreme Commander
Rheinland (House) - 9998

Couple of rules queries: does Improved Fighters for major pirates allow you to go beyond the normal restriction ie. put 5 points on something for LFs?
Second, for researching unique units, are you stuck with one of the stats settings that someone else has done, or can you set your own?

Oh, and I claim the Lane Hackers.

Watch this thread, when we get enough players, we'll begin.

No, it only means that instead of assigning 8 points, you can assign 9. The limit still applies.

Second, for researching unique units, are you stuck with one of the stats settings that someone else has done, or can you set your own?

When you succesfully complete the research, you can assign the new ship class stats just as in your first turn.

I call Bretonia.

Edit:

One question though,

Gas Miner Naha, Sigma-13 4D (M)
Gas Miner Ogashawa, Sigma-19 5D (M)

Do I count these as large mining stations or large stations?

There are several kinds of bases:

Small Station- Stations that have a population of less than 1000. Small Stations produce 10 credits per turn and mine resources.

Large Stations- Stations that have a population greater than or equal to 1000. Large Stations produce 20 credits per turn and mine resources.

Capital Ship Shipyards- All stations that are called “Shipyards” are considered capital ship shipyards. (Tripoli is an exception. It is a large station.)

Planets- All dockable planets are considered planets.

Large Gas/Metal Miners- All dockable Gas or Metal Miners. There are only two: Naha and Ogashawa.

Ok thanks, but I have decided to take control of Bretonia instead

Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:17 am by Supreme Commander

I'd like to sign up with the Golden Crysanthemus faction.

Mon Jun 12, 2006 1:28 pm by Lord Emperor

Great, 3 houses claimed already. It would be good if someone took Rheinland too, and maybe a few large factions (IMG, Samura, Outcasts...) and we can start.

Mon Jun 12, 2006 11:28 pm by Hawk Of Prey

Supreme Commander, might I suggest you pick a larger faction? The one you have starts out with only 1 base, which means you'll end up with resource problems and the like.

Tue Jun 13, 2006 4:56 am by Lord Emperor

Same applies for Mollys and Lane Hackers (well, they have 2). Remember, anyone can claim any faction regardless of size. Atleast for Spiketail, I know you could handle something more ;-)

Tue Jun 13, 2006 5:50 am by Supreme Commander

ok... I'll go for IMG then, its the first time I join so thanks for the tip

Tue Jun 13, 2006 5:54 am by The Creator

So any idea when we could start?
I think we only need someone to take Rheinland then we could start.

Tue Jun 13, 2006 10:01 am by Spiketail

I went through the list, and Hackers aren't actually all that badly off. Yeah, I probably could handle more, but I'm happy with this to start with... the Queens know that I've got enough coming up with painting my Warhammer, testing 2.90, and going off to Oxford in four weeks...

Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:49 pm by Lord Emperor

When we get 10 players -or- someone takes Rheinland and at least one Major Pirate -or- next Monday (18th) - whichever comes first - we'll start.
