H&H?
A 'Hurt & Heal' is a type of game where you typically take no more than one turn an hour, and perform two actions (Heal or Hurt 2 points, or do 1 point of each) to a list until all but one item is eliminated. In this game your two actions will be troop movements whether creating more, moving them, or attacking with them(or some combination).

Picture Wars?
In a Picture Wars game, you control a pixel art army and move them across a map to conquer land and defeat other armies. It is an informal game where storytelling is prioritized over competitiveness. Here what you can do is standardized to be competitive. Though units may still be customized and standard actions can be embellished with nonstandard flare.

Any balance changes will be announced here.

1. I'll be acting as a limited npc player, as outlined in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179442.msg8345445#msg8345445). Rejoined upon request. See this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179442.msg8348165#msg8348165) and my next.
2. Rules to permit 'artistic flare' in some cases, such as explosions and gunfire, have been added.
3. Made the darkest pixels in the default sprites pure black(these pixels primarily represent the outlines).
4. Please announce the production of a tank or jet in bold red font. Include the location, see this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179442.msg8345694#msg8345694).
5. No double jet kills by single soldiers. Future proofing units for new maps. See summary in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179442.msg8346660#msg8346660).

Ah, let's keep the same general silhouette of the units, and modify from that. No units can be produced until after the 4th player joins however.

Hey thanks for that, I appreciate giving it a shot. I have succumbed to complexity at times, I once made this game where players needed to generate a code on their turn. It was intellectually interesting, but too complicated. Though I really hope that isn't the case here. I can nitpick, but overall this is the best way I can think of to mix a H&H: a type of game that is simple and straightforward, with a Picture Wars: a game type that is colorful and expressive. It's the best of both worlds!

Thanks for playtesting, with you 2 more. Here is how a new player joins: Update the map like a1s, so choose an army color and change a city (perimeter 8 buildings are cities) to the army color.

Post by: RoseHeart on January 19, 2022, 05:02:52 am
I'll go ahead and step in as tan army. I'm going to be like an npc though, and will be using these restrictions:

-My goal is to capture and hold the east airport and east factory.
-I will not capture more cities than the person who has most.
-I will not be more active than the most active player.
-My truce intentions will be permanently set to 'peace'.
-I wont try to eradicate the last city of a player, until they try to do so to me. And if they rejoin this will be reset.

Within that though, I will be a hostile force, like any other player. Good luck.

(Thanks! I had a lot of time to meditate on strategies....) You can continue to make jets and tanks so long as the cooldown is recharged, and there is free space to do so...



Since building a tank or jet is such a big deal, from now on I am going to require announcing it in bold red font. Include the location. Example:

Built Tank at Factory A

or

Built Jet at Airport B

Red so it stands out in light or dark mode. This is to make finding the last construction easier. A refers to the left most building, and B the right.

Either wait for everyone, or for (no)one. There is little point in fine-tuning the amount of waiting before we finished even one match.

Well it is a playtest. But carry on for now. (If people are getting wiped because of two people bouncing back and forth it may be time to fine-tune. An alternative approach is limiting the number of turns per day or something.)

Update 5

A single soldier being able to destroy 2 jets, has been restricted to 1 jet per soldier. Some limitations to various moves regarding building adjacency have been added**, incase a future map has closer buildings. I plan to host this game once a month if there is demand. The winner will be able to pick or design* the next map.

*must be approved

**these do not impact the current match in any way on the current map

A jet must start and stop on a free space for each movement. So that combined hop was illegal. (Please edit your post, or a1s can undo it on their turn). You can turn at any time, except those regarding air to air combat.

Addit: (And not in mid-hop)

That actually might be worth trying next time, if someone reminds me. (BIG jumps going straight)

I think there's also a misunderstanding on how far a jet moves. It's 2 spaces, not 3. Anyway, reverting jet to just above factory A (where it would end up after 2 moves, since you can't stop on top of a factory.)

I don't know a1s, you've been playing my games for years, you know what to expect better than most. I do what I think is best, it reflects more on you at this point if you doubt that.

Needlessly complicated. Dubious logic. I've been gone half a year, and hosted this as a softball to try getting back into things. Yeah my ego is a little tender. What you said in that discussion thread made me feel missed. But now, your the one making me feel like a nuisance you tolerate out of charity, lucky me.

If you don't like it, don't play it. I'll live.

What I want is for you to play with us (this is a rare game that lacks randomness or other potential for GM malfeasance.) So what if you win your own game? Who cares, as long as we all give it out best.

If you don't like it, don't play it.
I didn't say that I didn't like it, I said that in my opinion (and this is when the rotten tomatoes begin to be thrown at me) the game is too complicated for the average roll-to-dodge player*. I like complicated games, but every time I try to run one, no one ever joins, so I work on only including (complex) rules that people are already familiar with. This is brand new. People have been hesitant to join and some dropped out without a warning.

Also (and I swear this is not another dig at you) why is it called H&H?
Title: Re: My Forum Battalion (H&H vs Picture Wars)
Post by: RoseHeart on January 29, 2022, 11:55:26 am
You know how you can't really touch anything, because the atoms of your hands and a given object repel? But we still call it touch. In layman's terms, in everyday life, it works.

We call one type of game Mafia, or Werewolf. But the more accurate name is Social Deduction.

Hurt and Heal is a surface level name, like Mafia. The actual core mechanics are to perform 2 actions(++, +-, or --), no more than once an hour. MFB is H&H, even if the layman's name doesn't fit. I guess you wouldn't call a werewolf themed social deduction game mafia, but that's where we host it regardless.

I'm definitely targeting a H&H (and Picture Wars) audience more than any other. This is the game I wanted to make, it really is simple, logically based mechanically. My lables speak to the mechanics, not the aesthetics, which I think is more satisfying in the long run for people actually craving a HH type experience (+PW).

But I suppose if someone only looks at the surface, then sure, I'm a liar.

Gwolf dropped out cus the pace was too fast for him...the only other part of 'some' is me lol.

I thought soldiers could only move one space at a time, and you only got two moves a turn? But looking at that you moved three guys and two of them moved more that one space.

The first move (group move) was moving the 2 in the back forward 1 space. The second group move was the 3 now in the front, the one in the middle and the 2 on his sides compose that group. Make sense?

(If not maybe quote the rule you are referring to.)

I'm assuming adjacent includes diagonals.
Not only does it not,
adjacent spaces (up, down, left, right), and not diagonally.
it's also not a free action (so you can either create a soldier and kill a tank, or you can create a soldier and move over a city (and bomb it- that is a free action) but not both)
Soldier Moves:

  • Choose a soldier, destroy an adjacent tank; you must have another soldier adjacent to the tank.

please fix your turn.


(hint: tanks are designed to beat soldiers and be beaten by jets. you have jets (well, you have a jet, but you have a airfields to make more) use them to kill my tank)

Soldier Moves:

  • Train up to 1 soldier per city you own, placing each on an empty space adjacent to a different one of your cities. When training soldiers, you cannot increase your soldier population to more than 2 per city you own.
I feel kinda stupid asking: was this always the rule? I always placed just 1 soldier  :P

Yep. Any adjustments to that were happening in the "chalkboard" phases before I posted the game. Any edits that were not specifically announced in the second post were just better wording of the same thing, or nicer formatting, legibility type stuff.

Edit: There was an OP archive posted on Jan 24 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179442.msg8346660#msg8346660)(and last edited) 9 days ago, and you can check the wording yourself.

Speaking of which, here's a new one.

Spoiler: Archive (click to show/hide)

It's not very nice to call urself stoopid, to two people you are beating in a game of logic! What's that make us, huh? Huh? (I kid)

Also King, if you decide not to join for the next session I understand. Though, you are kicking a ton of butt and only needed correction on a couple things. Fighter jets are literally rocket science, so don't be so tough on yourself.

If anything, I get the dunce award for this:

(almost! Train, move 1 space, and move 1 space is 3 actions, not the allotted 2.)

How about a treaty to keep 1 city unowned at all times, in the odd chance someone wants to join in?

Sure. But let's change Victory Method 1: from "Capture every city!" to "disown the last city owned by another player".

Sounds good. What would you suggest I do to counter the fact that when there are 2 players, one can just force the game to pause up to 48 hours to restore a production?

Actually, perhaps owning more than half the cities would be a good place to call it. Unless KZ truly wants to fight to the bitter end, then, let's say a1s wins if they get one more...

I plan to host this on the 11th. Alternatively, I have an idea for a sidescroller(rather than top-down) spinoff to try, if trying something a little different seems better. Love to get your feedback, what you liked most, what got in the way of you enjoying it as much as you could have.

I quite liked it and the sidescroller version sounds interesting, my only thought is that jets seem to be weaker compared to tanks and solders with their need to go over something to destroy it rather than be next to it.


Also have you thought about field fortifications, trench works, or something like that but less about defensive positions and more about slowing down the advance of enemy soldiers and tanks but not the jets since they could jut fly over it.

I might try to make a map tomorrow.
