This is a spiritual successor to Supernerd's: "You can't defeat the Infinite Wall of Slime, but you can level grind on it!" I have gotten approval from him to make this. It is not completely the same game, I have put some twists on it and changed a few things(such that I didn't know). Now with that out of the way...

Welcome to the world of "The Endless, Infinite Wall of Bones!".

You are a level 1 entity. Being level 1 means that you have 5 HP and can act using 1d4! Being an entity means that you are a thing with a distinct and independent existence.

Any roll of 1 will result in a failure, and any roll that is the highest number that your dice can roll will be a critical success. Better dice will roll less critical successes, but the higher the number, the more powerful the critical success will be!

You are currently in the main area. It is sort of like an empty field or something. About 20 meters away to your north is an infinitely large wall of bones. Fortunately it has a distinct edge, which is about 20 meters away from you. The wall is all shapes and sizes, it seems to be more long solid shapes then others.

You also see two doors behind you. They are not connected to any walls or anything which is kind of unusual for a door. One of them is labeled "Shop" and the other one is labeled "Death", the latter of which does not have a doorknob which seems like it would make it kind of hard to open.

The Endless, Infinite Wall of Bones has Infinite HP. What do you do?

Well hello there, I'm your personal assistant and I will help you as you lead your people to victory. My designation is M-3 if you would to call me something else you can. In case you couldn't tell I am a clone. Please remind me of your name and which country you are leading in this conflict:

Name:(whatsoever you wish)
People/nation:(any fantasy/fiction race or species(all subject to OP(my) approval))

Now that that is out of the way let me introduce you to your clone army:

A)Small: 1d10+1 battalion + 1d10+1 squads produced/turn(good if you don't want to rely on clones as the bulk of your army, will require you to start recruitment campaigns and training camps to increase your army)
B)Decent: 2d10+2 corps + 2d10+2 companies produced/turn(good if you want a decent mix of non-clones and clones in your army and gives you enough of a fluff that you can wait a few turns to start recruitment campaigns and training camps)
C)Massive: 4d10+4 army groups + 4d10+4 brigades produced/turn(great if you don't want to tap your civilian pop for your army if you have to tap your civilians then you are already in trouble)
Note: All army sizes are based on the current US military definition and size as seen here.

You can always increase the clone production later, it will just require you to dedicate a large amount of resources and research to it.

We will get to the other stuff later once this sinks in a bit.



What is this?
This is a cross between 2 of my games: Clone Wars+A Lasting War.
Will this be 'single player' SG style or multiplayer style?
That is up to you the players if some want it multiplayer it will be:

Multiplayer:

1)Yes please
2)No thanks

If there is a mix I can make an single player and multiplayer version as people prefer.
If you have any questions let me know.

You are a citizen of the city of Rome, can you rise to the be the leader of Rome or will you setup you descendants to be in position to become leaders of Rome. The choice is yours. We now need to figure out when in Rome’s history you are:
a) The Early City State
b) The Republic Era
c) the Imperial Era

Also what is your social class:
1) Slave(the best you can do is freedman)
2) Freedman(this is the best you will be able to do, your children will be born freemen)
3) Plebeian
4) Equestrian
5) Senator(must be in the Republic Era or later)
6) Patrician(not available in the Imperial Era)

This game will be mostly free-form and will end when your character dies without an heir, if your character dies with an heir(s) you can choose to play as one or end the game. The mechanics will be light with more of a historical look at Roman life through the eyes of the average citizen. Your choices can make a difference on how history plays out.

Before you ask no you cannot start as a historical character, you could discover said characters in your play-through though.

I have done a lot of work on the mechanics of the game that I don't think continuing the old game would be feasible. So we are going to start from the beginning again.

You wake up in a world of monsters. What do you wake up as?
A. Blobs/Slimes: Gelatinous creatures that are easiest to kill, and most prevalent
B. Forgotten: Non-monster creatures that have outlived the rest of their group by at least 100 turns and have not joined another one since
C. Dire Wolfs: Wolves only in name, their size and ferocity is unmatched by their cousins
D. Gobliniod: You'll get to choose your sub-race
E. Dire Bear: Similar to Dire Wolfs only Bears

This is the starting phases, I will wait at least 24 hours before next update. Feel free to ask questions and unlike last time I am not making this up as I go(as with most games there will inevitably be edits along the way).

Hello and welcome to a game based in the medieval setting where you all are trying to outdo each other, and npcs, to become emperor. Though becoming emperor is not enough, you must secure you position as emperor and hold it for 10 turns to be declared a true emperor. Throughout the game you will have to manage your population, resources, and armies to become the greatest emperor the empire has seen.

For the population you have peasants, yeomen, knights, and nobles. You can promote, or demote, your pops as you see fit; with one catch, promoting a pop costs 10 of said pop, though demoting only costs 1 of said pop and gives 1 of the new pop. The different pops grow at different speeds: peasants at 1/10, yeomen at 1/20, knights at 1/40, and nobles at 1/80.

For the resources you have food, gold, troops, and crowns. Each pop produces a separate resource: 100 peasants gives 1 food, 100 yeoman gives 1 gold, 100 knights gives 1 troop, and 100 nobles give 1 crown. Food is used to feed your population and armies: every 1000 pop eats 1 food, consumption for armies varies. Gold is used to buy mercs and to pay your armies: prices vary for mercs and armies. Troops are used to build and reinforce your armies: the amount needed to build and reinforce varies. Crowns are used to influence lower ranked opponents and increase your rank: (10*rank of opponent) crowns to influence lower ranked opponents, (100*rank) crowns to increase your rank.

For armies and mercs you have archers, light infantry, light cavalry, crossbowmen, heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, and cavalry archers. The following spoiler gives the cost and stats of each unit type, armies can be composed of as many units as you wish. Do note that these are for player built armies, mercs will come and go every turn and will have an upfront cost with an upkeep that is 10-20% of the cost.
Order of who gets hit: light inf -> heavy inf -> archers -> crossbowmen -> light cav ->heavy cav -> cav archers
Who hits when: range on round 1, cav on round 2, inf on round 3
Morale is the same as hp.
For the most part attacks do 50% damage to opposing units and 50% morale damage(morale is calculated as an army), a d10 is used for attack damage.

The ranks are as follows: 1(Baron(starting rank)), 2-3(Viscount), 4-5(Count), 6-7(Duke), 8-9(King), 10(Emperor). There can only be 1 emperor, the first player to get to emperor and KEEP the rank for 10 turns wins the game; if someone gets to emperor the current emperor is demoted to duke(rank 7). The other win condition is to be a king and have no other player kings or dukes for 10 turns. That is where influencing opponents comes in, by influencing someone they have to spend that much more to rank up; just remember you can only influence lower rank opponents and only ONCE every 10 turns per opponent. Also you can only rank up ONCE every 2 turns.

Please fill out the following sheet if you want to play:
Leader Name:
Rank: 1(Baron)
Pop:(total: P/Y/K/N)(1000 pop to allocate)
Armies: (zero at start)
Resources:(divide the pop that produce's the resource by 100 for starting resources)
-Food:
-Gold:
-Troops:
-Crowns:
Notes: (any notes you want to keep that your ok with everyone knowing)
Example:
Leader Name: George
Rank: 1(Baron)
Pop: 1000: 500/200/200/100
Armies: 0
Resources:
-Food: 5
-Gold: 2
-Troops: 2
-Crowns: 1
Notes: Willing to trade food for crowns.

The Empire:
PCs:
Klaus(Baron)(1)

Trying something new.

You grunts are all the same, you think the world revolves around you. You think you are special and different. Prove. Me. Wrong.

So you are all . . . grunts, military grunts, factory grunts, lab grunts, dock grunts, etc. Prove you have what it takes to be the best little grunt and maybe, just maybe, you will get promoted out of being a grunt.

Name:(what you have a name?!)
Profession:(anything reasonable, think mid-1900s)
Age:(16-60)
Sex:(M/F)
Money:($0-10)
Inv:(Basic profession toolkit)
Health:(start at fine)
Team:(start at 0)
Country:(again think mid-1900s(post WW2))
Goal(s):(anything you want, the more unique the better)

fine = nothing wrong
slightly injured = not going to die right away but should probably get some help, builds up to 3 every turn and than 'upgrades' to critically injured, can be healed to fine
critically injured = could die any time should really get help, builds up to 2 every turn and than you die, can be healed to slightly injured

Grunts add 0-1 to tasks/turn, are used at meat shields for pcs, and can be given orders by the pc and have a 50/50 chance to succeed.

0=fail soo bad that something really bad happens(usually death)
1=fail badly enough that you may die
2=fail enough to get noticed
3=just plain failed
4=just plain succeed
5=succeed enough to get the job done [i]before[/i] expected
6=succeed well enough that management might go easy next time
7=succeed soo well that management is worried about you

No max player limit(for now).
