Go ahead and add a version number ex.

That be better than strikethrough or stealth edits. I'll wait till you seem to have a stable build for a bit.(this applies to all and future players, not directed at anyone in particular)

Did. Also, what is the power level of my C card, and would it rise by one if I specified that "You can execute 1 attack action after this card's effects. This effect does not stack."?
Edit: Also, on further inspection of the OP, do the non-cockpit parts of the robot have to be called Leg 1 and Leg 2, or can they be other things, such as arm 1, tentacle 2, tentacle swarm or giant sword? And wouldn't destroying the cockpit be an instant win?

"giant sword" would be a card not a part, one you would likely PUT in an arm. But that would not be enforced. You can have a toe sword I don't care.

I will not be telling you the ratings of your cards. You're going to jump into battle and find out for yourself.

This may screw ppl up SORRY.

I am switching a rule, INSTEAD OF:

For each extra body part remove a special attack card from your lineup.

ITS NOW:

Only the legs and cockpit can hold mixed cards. And you must put a card(all of it actually) into an extra part! So if you want to add an arm you have to dedicate a card for it, for example.

Post by: OceanSoul on January 30, 2017, 03:52:44 pm
...I just added SO MUCH flavor text for my Mecha. This game's probably going to be short, and this'll be extra useless, but I felt that it has a lot of potential, and after I thought it all up, I just COULDN'T not write it down.

Y'know, I feel like the title could be better. I've almost read it as 'meh card battle' before. Not sure what a new title could be. Maybe something to do with Decka- a combination of Deck and Mecha. Decka War? Decka Force? Decka Strike? That's it. Decka Strike- Giant Robot Card Fight. What do you think?

Also, have you considered alternate names for the ranks of Special cards? I can see Standard, Uncommon, Quality, Unique, and Unrestrained. The "dumbass" rank would instead be "Economical".

Title: Re: Mech Card Battle
Post by: OceanSoul on January 30, 2017, 05:20:26 pm
If I'm right, basic cards will take up slots that the Special cards would've taken up if they were Basic rank or lower. If you have a Kickass special for B one of the B slots will instead have a basic weapon.

Looking at the new rules, seems that a mech can only win once before being retired. Roseheart, if enough players get retired mechs, can we have some sort of reunion match? Only retired mechas, for an epic battle?

Yeah.
Title: Re: Mech Card Battle
Post by: RoseHeart on January 30, 2017, 06:55:41 pm
Unless you have cards to help you play more cards in a turn, drawing extra cards is pointless. You play one card and you draw one card each turn.

Also nothing will allow you to draw if you have three cards in your hand.

Since I'm preparing for the match. Go ahead and make a post if you have changes relating to this.

Edit: though admittedly it could be a counter tactic for cards that make you discard cards. So it has atleast that use I suppose.

Well, I updated just recently, but it is not as though I have that many discard effects, it is mostly deck milling...
Title: Re: Mech Card Battle

What's deck milling?
Title: Re: Mech Card Battle
Post by: heydude6 on January 30, 2017, 07:26:51 pm
According to this link, (http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Mill) milling comes in two forms. The first form is making your opponent draw a card when his hand is full, therefore forcing him to discard that card according to the rules of the specific game. The second form and the one that's likely to be in effect this game, is forcing your opponent to draw all of their cards causing them to suffer greatly depending on the rules of the game (in hearthstone for example, you take damage each time you're supposed to normally draw a card) . Hopefully milling is something that is actually possible in this game cause the GM might just forbid cards that force you to draw when you have a full hand.
Title: Re: Mech Card Battle
Post by: RoseHeart on January 30, 2017, 07:34:48 pm
Attacks are calculated(normally) at the same time. And follow this breakdown:

Choose 1 special attack card to play

Does your attack hit?
D20+hit =?= 10+ yes

Where? (aim at cockpit)
even chance of random part.

Where? (aim at part)
Chosen part.

Destroyed?
if pow+pow of previous hits to part > number of cards in part

Does the fight continue?
Draw 1 card.

Edit: You may discard cards before playing one.

'averts eyes, even though it is likely a joke'
I was wondering... How about we create a list of miscellaneous cards, not used in out own decks, to help inspire others with ideas for a mech, or perhaps just for fun? I'll start:
Quote from: Red Flamethrower
3 Hit
1 Pow
If this attack hits, the opponent gains the status "heated", which causes the afflicted to lose 1 Hit and Pow on every attack until they spend a turn not attacking other players. If the opponent is heated before this attack connects, this attack gains 1 Pow.

I can only really be relied upon to check once per day, but sometimes I loiter forever... It is best to announce plans 24 hours in advance to account for a daily cycle...

If one rolls every value between 1 and 20 then an attack of 4 hit 1 pow results in 15 pow. An attack of 1 hit and 4 pow would result in 48 pow. An attack of -5 git and 10 pow would produce 60 effective pow...

High pow has a problem with overkill, any excess pow will be wasted, but given that bonus parts always have 4 cards, 4 pow is really strong and less inly much good for dealing with specials. Also, bonus parts, owing to the fixed card numbers making them predictable, and the way that it weakens your most versatile parts, seem kind of pointless. They only really help by discouraging the existence of 8 pow 3-hit-win cards... I like them for thematic reasons, but I can't help but think that it would be better to put one card each in each leg and dump the rest into your enormous codpiece.

I like them for thematic reasons, but I can't help but think that it would be better to put one card each in each leg and dump the rest into your enormous codpiece.

I think one way to fix that is to make it so each part can only store a maximum of ____ special cards (and possibly make it so legs can't store weapons). That way, unless you only want to have 3 special cards, you'll have to purchase additional limbs.

Still, it might not be that big of a deal. The main balancing factor at the moment is the fact that shots in the cockpit  are not guaranteed to hit the cockpit but are likely going to hit a different part instead. With a build that has no arms, the cockpit will have to take most of that damage (though the legs will block some of it). And so the choice becomes this, do you want to keep all of your weapons for the duration of the entire fight, but live for a shorter amount of time; or do you want to live longer,  but slowly lose the ability to use certain cards?

Ill be honest, I actually think that "octopus" builds might actually end up being OP with the current system, but only time will tell.
Title: Re: Mech Deck
Post by: RoseHeart on January 30, 2017, 11:35:03 pm
I may not understand everything correctly I'm going to go ahead and work with what I think you mean...?

So let's imagine how much you can put into your codpiece. 12 cards. That is a lot. But your legs will be destroyed upon any successful hit and that will have an impact in the game.

(I like your suggestion heydude for no weapons for the legs though I don't want to do it exactly like that, because rule of cool)

Maybe number of legs has to do with your maximum hand size, I think I like that.

But just to be clear in case this point was missed by RAM, which I don't think so because his deck didn't break this rule but because of how he worded what he said I have to remind him that you have to put all four cards of one of your card types into any new limb you add.

This adds a tactical element where those can be removed.

This weakness is balanced by you gaining another limb which is another hit box. Since a cockpit attack will hit one of your random pieces that is in an important trade off.

But again maybe I do not understand you correctly.

Title: Re: Mech Deck
Post by: OceanSoul on January 30, 2017, 11:50:05 pm
Simply classifying things as 'arms' or 'legs' is too specific. What about tank treads? Magnetically levitating fists? Snake tail? Etc. What I'm trying to say is to classify them differently. Legs, and other things that help the Decka stay upright can be 'stabilizers', making the mech harder to knock down, while things that apply the weapons of the mech are called 'weapon arrays', allowing for the use of attached weapons. Stabilizers hold few cards, but gain more health per card: Weapon arrays hold many cards, but are easier to take out, making them highly preferred targets. Lastly, the cockpit, the core, the heart of the Decka, can function as either, or both to a lesser degree.

Current OP Archive for today

Lets play Mech Card Battle Deck! What is Mech Card Battle Deck? SHUT UP I'll tell you honey.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


You will design 5 special attacks.

I will rate its power to be basic, kickass, badass, whoopass, or jackass. Edit: surprisingly, people made cards weaker than basic so I needed to add a dumbass category!

If it is basic, you will get 4 copies in your deck. If it is higher you will get less, and you will get one of my basic cards to fill in the gaps(each set of four of my basic cards is weaker than the last). If you get the jackass rating on one of your cards, I will replace a number of my basic cards with even worse ones, depending on what it does. In extreme cases they will be cards designed to make it fail if you draw them first.
If you have cards BELOW basic(aka "dumbass" rank), I'll give you better basic cards to fill in other gaps.

Your final deck will have 20 cards. A mech must have a cockpit and two legs. You may add more arms, legs, heads ect, each trading away a special card and getting four of my basic cards to your deck. You will divide your 20 cards into your body parts. If that part is destroyed you lose those cards.
Edit: Only the legs and cockpit can hold mixed cards. And you must put a card(all of it actually) into an extra part! So if you want to add an arm you have to dedicate a card for it, for example.

This game is just going to use spoilers for secret info, such as where your cards are hidden, or which card you draw.

You can have 3 cards in your hand, aka ready. To get the ball rolling here is an example of a basic card:

Basic

Quote from: Trusty Rifle
1 hit
2 pow
+1 hit if you didn't do a melee attack last turn.

Hit is accuracy. Pow is attack force.

You can do a body tackle on your turn, but that will damage you aswell.

Here's my top 3 sets of backup basic cards to fill in yours. You will get them starting from the top.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Card Sheet(spoiler)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rules
1) Please do not view other's spoilers.
2) Keep things simple. I guess what I don't understand. DO NOT COMPLAIN MID-BATTLE I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
3) add a version number OUTSIDE of your spoiler so I know when you've made edits:
1.0.X very minor changes
1.X.0 noteworthy changes(maybe add a note at top of spoiler)
X.0.0 extensive change or reset to 1 for new mech
Change it if you last published your mech more than an hour ago. Add more digits if necessary.
4) Winning will allow you another mechbay. Your old one is retired, but you can keep it for display. Anyone may view spoilers marked "retired".
5) Unless you have cards to help you play more cards in a turn, drawing extra cards is pointless. You play one card and you draw one card each turn.
Also nothing will allow you to draw if you have three cards in your hand.
6) You always "aim" for the cockpit unless you say otherwise. A cockpit shot has an equal chance of hitting another part. A part shot will hit that part if successful.
7) As a rule I will not "debuff" your cards. I will only make them less annoying for me to use in the game.
8) My basics will tend to go in your least armored parts of the card it is filling.
Title: Re: Mech Deck
Post by: RAM on January 31, 2017, 01:03:38 am
Ah, okay, so cockpit destruction eliminates the robot and the cockpit cannot be directly targeted? That makes things better! I did not realise that cockpit destruction was fatal.

I used pow because damage has not been used officially that I know of, and pow + previous pow was used to describe damage... But more specifically, I believe that pow is generally much more valuable than hit. Assuming no other factors, the following weapons should have the same mean damage:
hit 4 pow 1
hit -3.5(mean) pow 2
hit -6 pow 3
hit -7.25(mean) pow 4
hit -8 pow 5

So the recycled rocket is much more powerful than the old gattling. Of course, high hit values are more reliable, with the -8 hit pow 5 attack doing its 15 damage on 3 out of 20 hits and dong nothing on the other 17 attacks, while the 4 hit 5 pow weapon with the same 15 damage over 20 attacks hits very frequently and is much better if doing a little bit of damage is very important. But still, a 12 point shift in hit equalling a 4 point pow shift in mean damage is sort of huge.

For reference, the equation I am using is:
(11 + hit) x pow = damage
hit = damage / pow - 11
And it doesn't work if hit is greater than 9 or lower than negative 11. Also, things get a bit unreliable of you start factoring in external modifiers.

Let's do a three-way free-for-all shall we?

This will be an anonymous battle so you won't know who is which mech. You will post which card to play in a spoiler. You may also discard as many cards as you wish. And you may do a tackle attack(or pass) instead of playing a card. That's pretty much it.  Look at your hand and shoes what to do next.

Fix'd and messaged.

Have you considered non-PVP game modes? For example, fighting waves of weaker Dechas, perhaps with 5-card decks and 2-card hands, with an occasional tougher enemy thrown in as a boss, with 20 to 30 cards in the deck and a 4-card hand. Maybe just a single, big boss, with 2 30-card decks split among 5 body parts, a 6-card hand, capable of two attacks per turn, and draws twice as many card per turn?

No, wait- players control the 4 limbs and core of some 5-piece Power-Ranger megazord, working with a giant deck to fight equally-big monsters?

I prefer to call these Mechs over Mecha, which I feel is more western and my own personal mech experience is mostly with BattleTech and MechWarrior rather than anime.

So an offshoot of Mecha doesn't appeal to me.

How about Deckoid Strike? Not sure why -oid would fit the setting..

Maybe the robots would be smaller than the giant size one would expect, maybe 7 feet or so? It would make a competitive league easier, as less materials would be needed, and arenas could be smaller.

..Not sure why I got that from -oid, though.

(maybe it was a joke but heydude thought it was real and changed his action.)

Turn order has been randomized. (Attacks resolve simultaniously. This really only applies to the flavor text.)

Just want to point out that how many cards are in a part determines how many initial armor points it has. Using cards does not deplete armor! Thought that might help to clarify.

Turn 1

The mech with the arm railgun is Jackhammer. The pilot positions to fire on GROS, the mech with no arms and a satalite dish like attachment. The shot goes wide as GROS pulls ahead and locks on to the one armed mech with something like a hat shaped part on it. This is Verticlaw who also evades to then turn and fire on the first, Jackhammer. Gatling fire rattles Jackhammer's left arm.

Turn 2

Jackhammer feeling pressured begins a defensive spin with his arms. Verticlaw turns to GROS and slams it with a kick. GROS emits a red glow and a force resists the impact. Verticlaw releases concealed blades in it's legs and penatrates through the field raking GROS along its' left leg.

These are not well designed mechs. They do random things and are piloted by morons. At least that's what I imagine you don't need to imagine it the same way at all.

In your mind they can be those seven-foot-tall mechs you talked about or the super fighting robot mechas. I don't give a damn.

Turn 3

Both Jackhammer and GROS turn to focus on Verticlaw, who seems to to be billowing smoke from it's cockpit. Jackhammer releases a parade of gatling fire on Verticlaw who blocks and takes the hit to his arm toppling on to the ground. It leans up as small lights of all sorts of colors flicker on and off on it's hat. A blue wave of light emits from GROS and washes over Verticlaw.

GROS focuses in on the downed mech. His satalite dish extends. Jackhammer lets lose another gatling volley, but Verticlaw gets back up just in time and moves out of GROS's focus too. Verticlaw pivots and fires a teathered claw that pounds into GROS's left leg as it latches on.

OOC: you may now 'expose left' or 'expose right'. This will affect the hit chance on it and the opposite side by +1 or -1, and will make shots aimed at the cockpit not hit the away side by random. Not choosing returns you to front which keeps things default. This will only take effect on the next turn and wont affect the cards played against you on the current round.

The winner will be allowed to reuse/update their current mech design if they want.

OOC: I'd like to incorporate an announcer in this game, it's always made arena games I hosted fun in the past (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=150301.0). I encourage lurkers to apply.

I'm not going to keep track of which body part a copy of your card came from if it comes from multiple. It's just going to fire from whatever the most prominent part is. Or what is still intact if that's out. I could keep track but it's just not really worth it for any good reason.

I've decided each session(cross fingers for a second) will have special build requirements. So mechs should be designed in the short break between matches. I believe this will be the most challenging and interesting for spectators, so it's the way I've decided to run the game.

(I will probably make a new thread then, and only mechlab posts will be allowed(to get them all on the front page) and this will serve as ooc mechpilot bar until next match's start)

It's so good to hear you say that. I have this strange phobia that when people don't even talk about the art that it's not displaying properly(or sux).

Probably because I was a really impressive artist as a kid but here standards in a place like this it's not quite as exceptional.

Art seems good to me. You have to be careful with art. It is more about getting the right art for the circumstance than getting the details right. Order of the Stick, for example, has, well, it is good at what it does, but is not exactly photo-realistic, but it really works because it is meant to tell a story and it conveys a story really well. On the other hand, I recall a forum game where everyone contributed their own art to a single image to form a composite. It was all odds and ends from Paint and such, but it worked. Then someone came along and said that their art was too good and it would kill the game, and they were right, they completely redid the whole thing from scratch with shading and textures and such, but they killed the game not because it was too good, but because they removed some of the previous contributions, redid the thing from a perspective that was difficult to expand from, and basically completely failed to grasp the premise of the game. Their art was "better" by appearance, but far far worse in terms of appropriateness, so they failed miserably as an artist...

Your comic gets the message across, not perfectly, there are a couple of things that I need to refer to the text for, where did the claws come from, whose foot is that... but basically it is good at doing what it is meant to, which is what is important. Also, I keep thinking that the railgun is actually protruding from the back of a leg and that Jackhammer is about to fall over in the final panel, but I can't figure out why.

While I don't like sharing a title with something pre-existing(mech deck)... I think redneck mechs is unique enough that I don't mind sharing it with them.

And I use a certain light casual tone in the way I use redneck where it doesn't necessarily mean plaid shirt and beer belly. A synonym could be jalopy or over souped up.

RAM, would you be interested in a job helping me find the best values for vanilla cards?

I want
2dpt(damage per turn) for ★
And 50% more each rank up. And I need: low hit high pow, high hit low pow, and avarage for each tier.

Also maybe a 25% further increase for risk reward(if that makes sense).

Erp- Umm, I might maybe look into that, over the next couple of days, but statistics really isn't my thing. But I could runs some basic numbers and just randomly guess what other factors exist. Prode me again in a couple of days and see if I have put a single ounce of effort into this. The odds are probably about 75% against...

Turn 6

At point blank range, Jackhammer fires its' railcannon! Right at GROS' cockpit! ...And somehow GROS gets up! It shines a blue wave on Verticlaw, who is really starting to smoke up from the cockpit.

RL drop(kinda heavy but good...)

Some stuff came up that really scared me... financially. It made me wonder if I could spend all my hobby free time doing stuff that doesn't make money. So updates were kind of slow compared to I think where we started, as my heart needed a few days to heal and I still really like this project and this game.

I believe someday I will be able to profit off of the skills I learned from doing this kind of thing. I do see it as an investment. However though there is something you can do to help. A big part of this for me is the art so if you can give me feedback now and then that would return a lot of value back to me from this. Thanks for hearing my words.

REDNECK
        MECHS THE ARENA COMIC

Turn 7

GROS positions itself once again, extending its' dish antenna. But then, a wirlwind of dust whips up and the ground shakes slightly, as Verticlaw skyrockets away!

Verticlaw takes use of this aerial advantage to scout out Jackhammer, lauching a claw right onto the railcannoneer's face!

Well I guess I know where the "verti" in Verticlaw came from now.

So, what are the rules for looking at spoilers? Because I would really like to take a peek someday. Have the rules for retiring a mech been formalised? I feel as though it makes more sense for destroyed mechs to be removed than winners, but, then again, maybe the winners get into the big-leagues while you can get into the redneck arena with a mound of broken scrap-metal and some duct-tape...

Oh yes. Verticlaw, was NOT THE NAME of RAM's mech(though it was very appropriate if I do say so myself). As I picked it myself. Because RAM had exposed the name above the spoiler in his mech bay. So to keep it anonymous I came up with the pseudonym. Which I probably didn't mention not to do. So there you have it.

I'll let RAM tell you the actual name if he wishes...

Have you considered non-PVP game modes? For example, fighting waves of weaker Dechas, perhaps with 5-card decks and 2-card hands, with an occasional tougher enemy thrown in as a boss, with 20 to 30 cards in the deck and a 4-card hand. Maybe just a single, big boss, with 2 30-card decks split among 5 body parts, a 6-card hand, capable of two attacks per turn, and draws twice as many card per turn?

No, wait- players control the 4 limbs and core of some 5-piece Power-Ranger megazord, working with a giant deck to fight equally-big monsters?

Interesting ideas! I.. Just might!

I think one way to fix that is to make it so each part can only store a maximum of ____ special cards (and possibly make it so legs can't store weapons). That way, unless you only want to have 3 special cards, you'll have to purchase additional limbs.

I like that!

I'm definitely not. If I somehow manage to win this round, then it will be entirely due to luck since I've been performing rather badly so far. I'm going to want to build a more consistent deck for next round.

I'm not even sure if Ill have it even be a card game next time. You might just design parts or something I don't know could go either way.

Well I have already granted permission to look at my first robot. I mean, it could sort of be salvaged by switching around some things, but it is pretty terrible if the card draws despise you with the furious passions of a thousand murdered dinosaurs.

Original OP

Lets play Mech Card Battle! What is Mech Card Battle? SHUT UP I'll tell you honey.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You will design 5 special attacks.

I will rate its power to be basic, kickass, badass, whoopass, or jackass. Edit: surprisingly, people made cards weaker than basic so I needed to add a dumbass category!

If it is basic, you will get 4 copies in your deck. If it is higher you will get less, and you will get one of my basic cards to fill in the gaps(each set of four of my basic cards is weaker than the last). If you get the jackass rating on one of your cards, I will replace a number of my basic cards with even worse ones, depending on what it does. In extreme cases they will be cards designed to make it fail if you draw them first.
If you have cards BELOW basic(aka "dumbass" rank), I'll give you better basic cards to fill in other gaps.("sweetass") At the start of the match I will allow you to swap out a number of your dumbass cards for sweetass cards if you wish, up to it it's "dumbass rank". You do not need to swap any if you do not want to.

Your final deck will have 20 cards. A mech must have a cockpit and two legs. You may add more arms, legs, heads ect, each trading away a special card and getting four of my basic cards to your deck.
You will divide your 20 cards into your body parts. If that part is destroyed you lose those cards.
Edit: Only the legs and cockpit can hold mixed cards(except my filler cards, which go where you assigned the originals, regardless of part).
And you must put a card(all of it actually) into an extra part! So if you want to add an arm you have to dedicate a card for it, for example.
Edit: You must put atleast 1 of a card in an extra part, and if it is destroyed so are all copies of that card. One less copy will be made a filler.

This game is just going to use spoilers for secret info, such as where your cards are hidden, or which card you draw.

You can have 3 cards in your hand, aka ready. To get the ball rolling here is an example of a basic card:

Basic

Quote from: Trusty Rifle
1 hit
2 pow
+1 hit if you didn't do a melee attack last turn.

Hit is accuracy. Pow is attack force.

You can do a body tackle on your turn, but that will damage you aswell.

Here's my top 3 4 sets of backup basic cards to fill in yours. You will get them starting from the top.

I designed my second yonks ago, it is listed under "being assembled" in my first post. It is pretty terrible in a lot of ways, but meh, no beating classic style.

I could do another mech. I already came up with my second one quite a while ago, but I may have some trouble remembering it.

I was thinking a second game would be 2 v 2. Bit I haven't looked into the feasibility of it.

Added my new Mecha (or as I prefer, Decka) to my original post here (near top of first page).

^No. And the reason being is because the theme of the game is really that these are kind of random Mechs and it's not like turns are happening so fast that we need anything that's going to delayed even further.
