Onderwerp: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

Since there is talk about implementing new races into dolumar perhaps its also time to implement a new theme.

team warfare

this could be achieved as race vs race or race group vs race group.

if race vs race then each race would start in a different quadrant and only be able to attack members of opposing races.

if race group vs race group, IE good races vs evil races,  same applies, good races can only attack evil races etc. each race group would have to start out in same hemisphere, either north and south, or east and west

current , proposed and  new races

human- this would be base race, no pluses, no minus on stats or build times
elven - could be + 10% attack - 5%hp + 10% build/travel
dwarven- could be+attack 5% + 15% hp  +20% build/travel times
halfling+ could be + 10% defense due to size perhaps -10%hp -20% build/travel

dark elven+ 5% attack -5% build/travel
orc+10%attack - 10% build/travel
troll+ 5% attack, +5% HP  -10% build/travel
ogre +5%attack +15% hp -20% build/travel

just arbitrary numbers here..

as well, you could also make each race be better or worse at something, IE mining, food gathering et all.  as long as it balances out where a player has equal chance regardless of race choice, the pluses and the minuses etc

would probably have to implement option of clan war, for a same race clan to attack other same race clan for as we well know, not everyone gets along. this could be done by mutual agreement or by perhaps a poll option, say if majority of clan A wants to attack clan B of same race, they vote, if % met, the two clans are attackable for x number of days, no vacation mode permited, perhaps 2 days?   this would keep the theme of team work in tact since there would be possible player driven penalty for playing against your team.

honor system.  attacker gets penalty based on size, but defender should get bonus as well

so...if attacker loses 50 honor on attack, thats 50% atk, hp etc, defender should gain that much as well for battle, would make it alot harder to attack lower people i would think

some kind of slow moving siege equipment should be implemented as well, perhaps something so slow it would rarely be used as offense, but would help on defense and require new building type such as siege factory etc. could make travel time 3x of infantry, high atk, high hp, but large res requirment and long build requirement. perhaps ballistas and do upgrade to catapults or onagers

The overall idea sounds good to me.

I have been lobbying for war elephants.

I like the overall idea as well.  But, can we consider 2 types of humans?  Regular and Bandits?

Economics today is a race between economists striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof economic or financial models or programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning...

bandits would still fall under human race..perhaps a better term would be marauders, maybe increase in some stat and decrease in other to distinguish from base line human?  could make their theives faster, do more damage etc...

add gnomes to evil side, pixies or fairies to good side.  fairies could have unicorn riders gnome would probably ride giant rats, hehe

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

Man... that is awesome... and absolutely gharstly.  Doompope now has a competitor for "The Weirdest Pic Award."

Back to the opening post (and away from the giant rat) ... should we have an "opposing groups" mentality where honor reduces less all other things held constant if a "good" race attacks a "bad" race?  Reason I ask is that you're still going to have... "politics" ... changing the honor calculation seems to be one way to go with this.

Speaking of... for your undead faction... what about them having to use fewer, lower quality troops, but having a greatly expanded honor window.  After all, they're dead... what do they care?

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

I voted no for one major reason. 

I would rather see a non-race based side selection.. if there is one.  I just like the idea that different 'races' of people could blend together. 

But I don't think an automatic alliance system is a bad thing.  The only thing to watch for is if one side gets more power than the other..... then we will start to see what happened on speed again.

I did not know it was a competition...

And God Said:
Δ*D = ρf                   Δ*B = 0
ΔxE = -δB/δt            ΔxH = Jf + δD/δt
and THEN there was light.

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

actually, with a team based server, really wouldnt need honor, since it would be team vs team, not individual vs individual. if you were a human, you wouldnt want some dark elf stomping out your newbie humans, you would be sort of protective, offering support and res, attacking the offender etc. perhaps totally doing away with honor on a team themed server is the way to go

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

i just think the speed server needs a reset. everybody knows who the winner is. just make it so the clans are smaller, say, maybe 10 at the most.

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

How do i vote no?

If you look at the clan activity the big clans are only about 10 players anyway.

The easy part was getting the brain out! The hard part was getting the brain out

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

We have one giant player. So we have one giant clan in return. The only other active clan cannot possibly compete against either. Declare a winner or something, and let's reset and get back to the chaos that was soooo much fun when speed first started!!! I just think it's time for chapter 2, even if the current bugs are still there.

Re: Idea(s) for New Server + Poll

You should make a poll for it and if a bunch of people go and vote yes maybe daed will reset the server for us.
