"I know this is a long post even by my standards..but please read it all"
Right then
We all love interactive history..
But dont they just feel a little 1 sided?
Heres an idea to Possibly make the interactive history storys more... interactive.
"its going to invlolve at least 2 writers who are willing to work together and who have time to spare."
but here's the deal "finaly"
If we get 2 writers.
and make 2 Interactive history storys at the same time..
we could make it so that 1 story is for 1 country.
and the other story is for their opponents country...
the 2 writers would be neutrall.
and would write a story each that are based around the same place and same basic story.
I.e English vs welsh.
then english story could tell of all the rebellions and stuff how theyve sufferd.
and the welsh could have a story of how they must rally to take back their lands..
As always options will be given as to what can be done by either side.
forinstance english room gets 3 choices of what to do next.
and so do the welsh.
say for example england chose option number 2.
and the welsh chose option number 1.
the battle would end in a draw with both sides having to retreat and re group.
Basically giving every option a counter option.
depending on which combination is selected by either room .
the out comes could be variable in extreems.
(i will now use examples like so.. "W1-E2" meaning Wales select option 1, and England select option 2")
So .
if W1 - E2 = defeat for the welsh
if w3 - e2 = draw
if w2 - e2 = defeat for english
if w3- e1 = crushing defeat for the welsh
if w3 e2 = crushing defeat for the english.
if w3- e3 = huge losses to bothe sides but draw battle.
and so on... In a totaly random but predertermined fassion.
(random as in you cant always counter number 3 with number 1 or something obvious, but predetermind as the writers agreed prior to giving the options)
Now.
to make things more interesting.
I propose Teams be allocated.
(requests to join should be made in private so as no 1 who is participating knows whos on the other team, "or indeed their own untill they see who els posts in the thread")
these teams would be allocated their country. and then...
"tosainu san if he would be so kind"
could remove the opponents country from the users forum.
By that i mean If i wanted to be welsh, Tosainu san could prevent me from Viewing the England thread.
now heres a cherry on top.
1 or 2 members from each team could be Spy's
and they would be allowed to view Both the english and the welsh forum.
they could attempt to sway the decision making in each camp to attempt to win the battle. excetera.
and inform their peer's of their opponents plans.
"not in the actual forum topic but by pm..
Otherwize the opponents spy would see"
Now I really belive this would be Kick ass.
And i really hope ive explained it all adequatly so every 1 understands exactly what i mean...
Thanx for your time,
Input is always nice.
i hope you like my idea
P.S
I almost forgot...
Each country will start with the same amount of troops.
same amount of cav.. so on so forth.
a draw would = same losses on boths sides say 10% for example.
Huge losses but still a draw would equal same losses for both sides say 30%
a minor victory would equal say 5% losses for the winers and 10% losses for the vanquished.
a defeat would = say 15 %of the vanquished's units are dead. and 5% for the winners
a crushing defeat = 35% of the vanquished's units are dead. 5% death rate for the winners
This would mean it wouldnt be 1 battle Poof your out.
