Non mafia, Battle Royale Style'd Game sign up

[taka]

Hi all!

Right, I thought I'd host a non-mafia game similar in style to battle royale as a prelude game to my upcoming small game mafia.

I've never hosted a game before so there will be a lot to learn from this and I don't think things will go perfect as planned. However what I need now though, is how many people would be interested in joining such a game so that I can plan the mechanics of the game.

Since its a prelude to my small mafia game, it'll be based on the warhammer 40k theme - I'm no big warhammer fan, but I really like the possibilities that i can get from this theme. If you know all your warhammer stuff then i'm sure this would be a bonus - if you don't, well just treat it as another sci-fi theme'd game

The map is under construction by Yoyoma1910 already, so a big ups for him

Just to let you know, there will be factions and teams etc so get ready to team up on eachother >:)

Since its my first game, I'm not looking for lots a players - if there's too many then I might have to random.org it or first come first serve basis.

Just to give you some information and background knowledge, this link will give you a lot of info on the the stuff you might expect:

http://wiki.reliccommunity.com/Dawn_of_War:_Player%27s_Guide

UPDATE
3 factions will deffinately be in:
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines
Orks
there will be other secret factors (well i guess most of you can guess which one's it'll be, but i may throw in an unexpected one :D)

The rough idea of the story will be:
edit: i can't let you know yet, it'll reveal all the victory conditions before the game even started!

anyway, the map will be gridded, BR style and players will have to travel around the map by giving co-ordinates

each player will be assigned a faction and will be allowed to pick from a selection of units, each with pros and cons, and given stats.

There will be certain objectives for different factions, and not just killing eachother - some will have conflicting objectives and might need to fight over it!

You can make alliances, but some factions will deffinately not be able to work together eg space marines and chaos marines. but let me remind the players, EVERY player/faction will have their own objectives, so pick wisely.....

everything that is done by chance will be done via random.org

So, sign up already!

Thanks for reading!

I'm looking to recruit 3 more players, so any other players interested to join is welcome to do so!

otherwise the game will start when the map is finished

I used a unit that's not going to be in this game as an example for squad choice.

When I send you a pm, you will get either 2 or 3 Unit types to choose from (depending on how many i can do)

Heres the example:

Battle Sister Squad

Number of units in squad:
10 (10 hp per unit, 100hp in total)

Weapon Selection:

Bolter:
Ranged: 2
Melee: 2

Heavy Bolter:
Ranged: 4
Melee: 1

Flamer :
Ranged: NA
Melee: 4

*Damage is per unit when weapon is equipped. Ranged is 1 of the 8 adjacent square, melee is the 1of the 4 adjacent squares.

Ambush SKills:
5/10 (50% chance)

Active Traits:
When equipped with Bolter, Special ammunition selection of:
1x Metal Storm Frag shells - +2 damage per unit
2x Stalker Silenced Shells - Ambush +25%

Passive Traits:
Can move 1 square when full squad, 2 squares when ½ squad
Sight Range: 2 squares
+10% damage when fighting Chaos Heretics (any weapon, attacking and defending)
+10% damage when defending with Heavy Bolter
Flamers cannot be used in jungle (you’ll burn the whole jungle down!)

This is just an example of some of the things you MAY get in the finalised selection choice

Now I will move on to battle calculations

for the sake of the example, i'm gonna use battle sister vs battle sister

Example of damage calculations:

Attacking squad 10 units equipped with bolter, ranged, using one time only Metal Storm Frag Shells=
10x(2+2)= 40 damage to enemy HP

Defending squad has heavy bolter, 40-10%= 36

Defending squad is taken from 100hp to 64 hp (7 units).

Defending Squad 7 units equipped with heavy bolter, ranged=
7x4 = 28 (+10%) = 31 damage to enemy HP

attacking squad is taken from 100hp to 69 hp (7 units)

Final results:

Attacker 69hp 7 units
defender 64hp 7 units

Of course when a Battle does happen, I wont be giving you all that gibberish. But i'll tell it through the write up. and then give a final result.

[taka]

thank you for your support sire

[TheFlax]

For the God Emperor! (In )

[taka]

guess who's getting space marines? ;) better still.... custodian guards

[TheFlax]

W00t! Although its the first time I hear about custodian guards (just did a quick google search.)

[Beefy187]

I would join but I don't know Warhammer so....

I'll sign up as a reserve player

[taka]

@ TheFlax - Custodian Guards were the best ;) but to make things fair, i'll have to randomise things :(

@ Beefy - I dont actually know anything about warhammer either, i only played the game i'll put ya on the list anyways ;) thanks

[TheFlax]

Aww, that's no fun.

I know some aspects of the game's fluff as I've spent more time reading Codex books and novels than actually playing the game. Also played both Dawn of War games.

I actually like most of the factions so I don't mind a random selection.

"Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean."

[pevergreen]

In if you have Striking Scorpians. Or a normal Guardsman.

good, because i'll be basing it off the dawn of war games ;) and maybe add a bit more depending how numbers go

In if you have Striking Scorpians. Or a normal Guardsman.

hmm..? never heard of the striking scorpians :S

guardsman will be in depending on numbers

and thanks for signing up

[pevergreen]

Striking Scorpians are an Aspect Warrior group for the Eldar.

The get a missile attack as they charge in.

Normally people go Howling Banshees, but Scorpians have always been a favourite of mine.

edit:

There you go.

But yeah, they have short range lasers mounted on their helmets.

[White_eyes:D]

I would not mind being a Kroot warrior(did I spell that right??)

"For the greater good"

thats some pretty nifty stuff you got there pever

i've never played the table top game, so i dont know any of the units outside of dawn of war series.

i do however, like the howling banshee in-game, they're pretty awesome

edit:

btw, is that i chainsword i see there?!?! thought they were imperium weapons!

[pevergreen]

Generic weapons really.

Banshees use modified power sword, i think.

Swooping Hawks (think assault marines without the melee) use beefed up lasguns, called a lasblaster.

Man...I really want to make an Eldar aspect army now...

[shlin28]

WAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Inz.

[Thermal]

Flayed Ones are coming for you

thanks all and sorry for not updating you WE last night, i missed your post and then went to sleep! lol

just to let you guys know, i can already start the game with this amount of players, or would you like to wait for more signups? i can take a few more at max, or else i fear i might be overwhelmed not by tyranids but by works

[taka]

update with some info

[TheFlax]

Sounds good. I'm ok with either starting right now or waiting for more signups, as you prefer.

[taka]

I'll wait a little longer as i still have to do planning and stuff. at least i can plan the mechanics of the game to make things fair for each player

[TheFlax]

We won't have to paint miniatures, will we?

[taka]

you can print out the map Yoyoma is making and then put the miniatures on it to play

[Thermal]

We won't have to paint miniatures, will we?

oh god my mate is obsessed with them they charge extortionate prices for some warhammer pieces

[TheFlax]

Oh believe me, I know. I actually tried to play the tabletop game, but I gave up after realizing it took me 6h to do this:



Probably 1h more if I did the base. That was for a basic grunt... And don't get me started on the one who have faces (no helmets)! Gah!

So no, I won't be printing out the map and painting miniatures.

[pevergreen]

Yeah...I have about $800 worth of it behind me.

Damn Blood Angels, Eldar, Tau, Imperial Guard....and thats just 40k.

[taka]

we got some proper warhammer fans here please dont pick up on any mistakes or made-up stories i make

Btw, check out the game info thread, that should give you guys some info and background story

[TheFlax]

They looked into the skies. They could see Imperial Drop pods making their way to the surface of the planet.

“Fools.”

Eldar? I don't think I've heard someone else use that word so often.

Story and setup looks good, don't worry about it, this will be fun.

[shlin28]

Er... just a teeny tiny problem.

You say that the Emperor has been protecting this planet for 13,000 years... but the Emperor only began to form the Imperium in the 30th Millenium... so.... er.... wah?
