Torun Federation
Mafia-Diplomacy/Risk game
This is map-based game for 12 players (and me). It is somewhat similar to Zack's Cardiac Steel idea, but setting is in fantasy world.
Main idea of the game is to connect diplomacy/risk like map-based strategy and mafia game (with lynch and night actions).
There would be 12 nations in the game, plus High Druid, plus Demon Horde.
Every day, players votes to lynch someone. During nights, army movement and most other action are made.
Victory conditions:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. There would be four sides of the game: three teams (Red, Blue, Green) and mafia (hidden among team members). Each team will consist of 4 players, one of them would be mafia.
2. Mafia victory: mafia wins if one of this three situations happens:
1. Teritories controlled by mafia members outnumber territories controlled by other players together
2. Mafia players outnumber townie players
3. Mafia players get control over Sacred Grove and retains it for full turn (i. e. not loses it in following move)
3. Red/Blue/Green victory. Team can win when one of following conditions is met:
1. all other teams and mafia are eliminated
2. mafia is eliminated, territories controlled by team members outnumber territories controlled by two other teams together by at least 10.
3. Territories controlled by team (not including mafia player) outnumber territories controlled by all other players together (mafia and other teams) by at least 10
Lynching
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:There are 3 types of lynch, each with different consequences:
1. minor lynch: player with the most votes is lynched, minor lynch happens when criteria for other lynches are not met, OR 2 or more players are tied for lynch (all tied players suffer minor lynch then). Consequences of minor lynch: player does not get any income during following night, loses 10 action points, and one reputation point
2. normal lynch: player with the most votes on him is also voted by the most players, and criteria for major lynch are not met. Consequences of normal lynch: player does not get any income during following night, loses 15 action points and two reputation points, and loses all inner territories (they are turned into neutral territories)
3. major lynch: player has absolute majority of votes OR players on him. If there would be two major lynches at the same time (hard, but possible), both players suffer consequences of normal lynch. Consequences of major lynch: player does not get any income during following night, loses all action points and three reputation points, loses all inner territories, and number of armies at each teritory is decreased to 1
Votes
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. One vote for every player automatically
2. One vote for having one's own capital
3. One vote for every city
4. One vote for team's leader
5. One vote for having reputation 20 or higher
6. Player can buy one vote for XXX
Game start
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. All 'regular' neutral territories have 2 armies at them
2. All neutral cities have 3 armies
3. These armies 'respawn' at the beginning of every turn
4. All players start with one territory. Before night zero, every player sends me information about preferred territory, and if no-one else wants it, he gets it. Players can discuss territory picking with their team mates, and in general game thread
5. All players start with 10 armies. During night zero, no income is given to players
6. During first day, only minor lynch can happen
7. Game starts with night zero
Rules of warfare
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. During each night, players can perform various actions. Each action costs some action points
2. every night, player have 20 action points (AP) to use. They are spent at various activities (spies, diplomacy, fights, and other)
3. Each single attack costs 2 AP
4. Player can attack from his own territory into any bordering territory owned by neutrals or other player
5. Player can attack his/her team mate
6. Combat is resolved in turns. At every turn, attacker and defender rolls 3 dices each (or less, if there are less than 3 armies at any side, that player rolls only as many dices as many armies he has). Dices are compared, in the order from highest to lowest. Winner in each pair of dices kills one army of enemy. Then, next turn starts. In case of draw, attacker wins (there are exceptions). For example, attacker rolls dices: 6, 5, 3, and defender rolls: 6, 6, 5. First pair – draw – is won by attacker, second by defender, and third by defender. Attacker loses 2 armies, defender loses 1. Maximum 10 turns of combat happens. If battle is not resolved before it, remaining attacking armies return to their starting territory
7. If attacker attacks one territory from two or more his territories at the same time, he adds +1 to the result of highest dice each time dices are rolled during combat (flanking bonus); of course such attack costs at least 4 AP
8. Player can move armies from one of his territories to another. Each such move costs 1 AP
9. There must always be at least one army of player at every of his territories. That army cannot be moved
Mafia
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Defiling: mafia must conduct defiling ritual once per night. One of mafia players names territory where it took place. The same territory cannot be selected twice for defiling. If mafia has no territories that are not defiled left, this action is skipped. Defiling has 2 results:
a) defiled territory is tainted: spies can detect that defiling ritual was conducted there. (during the night when it is conducted, and during 2 next nights)
b) one chosen enemy territory is barraged with foul magic – half of armies at this territory are killed
2. Mafia bonuses: see regions
3. Mafia special spy actions: ????? (to be added)
4. Partial control over Demon Horde
Maps
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Map comments
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Yellow island at the north of the map at the start of game belongs to me. If mafia player captures (and holds for 1 turn) Sacred Grove, mafia will win
2. Territories marked with gold are starting positions that you can choose from. Every player should choose 3 positions, in the order of preference
3. Territories inside gray border, close to the Isle of Sacred Grove, in a little beuge colour, are part of fallen empire of Vartarese. They are called 'inner territories' and are associated with special bonuses – each territory counts as one city
4. Regions. There are 10 parts of continent, besides inner territories. Each of regions has its own name, and is associated with a bonus income:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Isle of Sacred Grove: 5 territories, 4 income
2. Ancient Wastes: 20 territories, 6 income
3. Falkven Desert: 11 territories, 4 income
4. Scorched Steppes: 16 territories, 5 income
5. Sorro Swamps: 11 territories, 4 income
6. Sorro Plateau: 14 territories, 5 income
7. Windy Plains, 16 territories. 5 income
8. Rovan Peninsulas, 17 territories, 5 income
9. Eastern Reaches, 12 territories, 4 income
10. Small Isle, 2 territories, no bonus income
5. Bonus is given to a team (not a player!) that controls all territories inside given part.
6. Special: there is special bonus for mafia. If mafia players control all territories inside given part, mafia gets the bonus. It is independent from team bonus (and only mafia knows if they get it)
7. Cities: each player's capital (starting territory) and each inner territory counts as city. There is also 1 city inside each part of continent (called capital of this part), marked on the map. Cities are special:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Armies defending in cities add 1 to all dice rolls
2. Player not having any cities is eliminated from game, all his territories turns to neutral
3. Each city counts toward player's 'economic value'
4. Each city gives one bonus vote to its owner
5. Spies can perform more actions at cities
6. Cities can be razed for one-time income
8. Great Wall: inner territories are surrounded by Great Wall (represented as a gray border). Attacks from outside Great Wall into inside of it have special rule: all draws are won by defenders
9. Sea routes: they are represented by lines connecting territories through sea. Attacks can be executed through sea routes, but during such attacks all draws are won by defenders
Incomes
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Each player gets 3 base income in gold
2. Player gets income for having their starting capital: 3 income
3. Player gets income for having territories: 1 income per every 5 territories
4. Players also get gold from trade agreements (see section about diplomacy). For each agreement, 'economic value' (EV) of both players is assessed. EV = number of cities + number of regions (not counting Small Isle) + 1 per 5 reputation points. Both players involved in agreement get gold = EV of player 1 + EV of player 2 + number of turns in agreement. This result is halved if both players are from the same team.
Reputation
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
1. Each player has reputation score. Players start with RS = 10.
2. For being active during day, 1 point of reputation is earned.
3. For every turn of peace or truce with every other player (not counting Infidels): 1 point
4. For breaking peace agreement: - 5 points
5. For breaking truce: - 2 points
6. If signs of defiling rituals are found on the territory of player, and are reported to High Druid: - 4 points
7. If performance of ritual is seen on the territory of player, and reported to High Druid: - 10 points
8. For attacking independent Inner Territory: - 1 point
9. For attacking High Druid armies outside Isle of Sacred Grove: - 5 points
10. For attacking High Druid armies at the Isle of Sacred Grove: reputation is set at -10 points forever
11. For declaring war on player marked as Infidel by High Druid: 3 points
12. For attacking player marked as Infidel by High Druid: 3 points (once per player)
13. For signing any treaty with player marked as Infidel by High Druid: - 3 points
14. Some spy actions can lead to decrease in RS
15. For razing city, -4 points
Diplomacy
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Starting state of diplomatic relations is truce for players from different teams and peace for players from the same team
2. During every night, at cost of 1 AP for first diplomatic action during night, 2 AP for second, etc., player can:
a) declare war (no need of confirmation from second player); war declaration cancels all other agreements at the end of night
b) declare truce (second player has to conduct identical diplomatic action during the same night, or action is wasted)
c) sign peace agreement (second player has to conduct identical diplomatic action during the same night, or action is wasted)
d) sign open borders agreement (second player has to conduct identical diplomatic action during the same night, or action is wasted); only if peace agreement is already signed. Open border agreement means that spies can travel freely through territory of second player, without risk of being caught. It also means, that you can travel with your armies trough territory of another player (those armies are automatically moved to your territory if you break open borders agreement)
e) sign trade agreement (second player has to conduct identical diplomatic action during the same night, or action is wasted); only if open borders agreement is already signed
3. Diplomatic relations with High Druid are special – they depends mostly on reputation. Starting relations are: open borders agreement. If player has RS of 0 or lower, High Druid will declare war on him, and sent some armies against him. If reputation of this player become 5 or more, High Druid will be ready to sign peace agreement. If player has RS of -10 or lower, OR attacked armies of High Druid at Isle of Sacred Grove, High Druid will mark him as Infidel. Infidel is marked as infidel forever. He can never have RS higher than -10. In fact, it is assumed he has RS of -10 for the rest of the game, no matter what his actions are.
4. As a special diplomatic action you can spent amount of gold equal to your reputation divided by 4 (rounded down), in order to increase your reputation by 1 point.
Espionage
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:to be developed. There would be, for sure, at least few spy actions: - creating false signs of defiling rituals at enemy territory, - searching for signs of defilement, - sabotaging defenses, - stealing part of trade income, - decreasing enemy reputation, - counterespionage.
Demon Horde
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:to be developed. It will appear in the game for the first time at Night 1. They can attack any territory adjacent to W or N border of the map. Then, demonic forces will try to conquer as much provinces as they can. Demon Horde would be able to raze cities
Buying armies and spies
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:At night, players not only move their armies and spies, and ‘do’ diplomatic stuff. They also buy armies and spies.
1. Armies. Armies can be bought at cities. Buying armies in one city costs 1 AP. Cost of armies: First army bought at given turn costs 5 gold; second army – 6; third army – 7, etc.
If you want, for example, buy 3 armies at one city and 2 at another, it will cost you 2 AP and 35 gold.
2. Spies. Spies can be bought only at player’s capital.
Capital
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Each player has a capital. If player does not have his starting capital, he would have to designate one of his cities as new one. As long as player holds his starting capital, he gets bonus 3 income. Spies can be bought only at capital. Some espionage actions (e. g. stealing part of income) will be more efficient at enemy’s capital. Conquering enemy’s capital grants you spoils of war: one fourth of his gold
EDIT: some rules changed, some rules added
