Welcome to Gaia! ::

Any ideas of how to make this guild run better, feel free to post it in here.

Note: Nobody from any army will be made into "Crew", before anyone tries to suggest that. The edit button would be used in some... negative ways.

let us discuss how battles will be conducted and where they should be held.

I feel that there should be over all rules. Like role a 10 sided dice and, depending what you role, will determin if you hit or miss. When fighting elite units, the stats should be bumped more toward the favor of the elites.
for example if you roll with infantry vs infantry (or like VS like)

1- miss
2 -miss
3 -miss
4 -miss
5 -grazed target
6 -hit target in the leg
7 -hit target in the arm
8 -hit target in the torso
9 -hit a vital organ (like lungs)
10 -head shot

and if fighting something uneven then it should be unbalanced, like this
infantry (with out anti vehicle equipment) vs tank (or weak VS strong)

1 - miss
2 - miss
3 -hit, but no damage
4 -hit, but no damage
5 -hit, but no damage
6 -hit, but no damage
7 -hit, but no damage
8 -hit and weakens
9 -hit and weakens
10 -hit and weakens

and if you have the advantage then...
(like tank vs infantry or strong VS weak)

1 - miss
2 - miss
3 -grazed target
4 -hit target in the leg
5 -hit target in the arm
6 -hit target in the torso
7 -hit target in the torso
8 -hit a vital organ (like lungs)
9 -head shot
10 - pulverised taget


of course there can also be a roll for other actions (like opening the hatch to an enemy tank) that we can discuss and figure out how they will work.

The other thing is where should our battles take place.
We could do it in the chatter box, it would be good advertisment for the guilds fighting, but it will cause non members to join the fray. This will cause more damage than good. I recomend that we open a sub forum here for the sole purpose of wars.
the lead officers in charge of the battle can discuss where the fight can take place and who's on what sections of the map (of course they will be out of character when doing this, but it's for the little people!).

I really like this idea, but I don't think it should replace the standard RP wars. Maybe we could do both.

And yes, I, too, see the similarity, Pakuun.

I had 40k, but that's irrelevant.

Actually, this idea mixed with the "PICK A COLOR" thread would easily make a good combo... the interesting thing is that if we can find a good artist, we could have each member of each army made into characters as well, adding a squad idea with it...

or will that just make thing complicated?

This could possibly be like a game of chess with living pieces. The units could make their own decisions based on what the commander wants them to accomplish. And I say that the either the commander, vice-commander, or a general should be in charge of the npc's actions.

Ahem.

Welcome to Gaia's version of Warhammer/D&D/chess/Advance Wars...

That may be pushing it, the game. The problem would not be the actual game itself, because we have pleny ofd resources for that, including several people (such as myself) that have some level of programming skillz.

The main problem would be placing it online for others to use. If we have people on both sides that have decent photoshop ability, and photoshop for that matter.... people could save it in psd format and email it to eachother, the layers would allow for people to make around without destroying the map. The soldiers could inform the person with photoshop where they move, based on a grid system.

It's long and tedious, but could work assuming communication is good.

Well, there's my opinion on the matter

Could we not just have someone who is usually online use MS Paint to constantly update a map and have everything else be text-based?

kool
how much does it cost?
