Spoiler: Hero Promotions (click to show/hide)

Diplomat: £500. Increases upkeep by £20. Allows the hero to act as a diplomat. In situations where a diplomat would be expelled/return to its home territories, the hero must also be expelled/returned. A diplomat hero can resist expulsion if he is able to lead troops in a fight to resist it. In situations where a diplomat would be killed, the diplomat hero is instead captured. Tech: Diplomacy I.

Spymaster: £500. Increases upkeep by £20. Allows the hero to move invisibly in the same manner as Spies (can be detected in the same fashions) and can compile reports of territories it passes through as a scout would. The hero can at any point during its movement for the turn spawn a new spy in whatever territory it is in at the usual cost for purchasing a spy (£300, paying £10/turn upkeep thereafter). The new spy will take 1 turn to recruit as usual, unless double hiring costs are paid as for mercenaries. This promotion does not allow the Hero to otherwise act as a Spy. Tech: Espionage I.

High Priest: £1000. Upkeep increase £100. The High Priest promotion allows the Hero to act like a priest in all its functions, with the notable exception that when it would be destroyed as a result of priestly action (other than making a proselytism attempt) the unit is instead either captured (20% chance) or sent back to its side's capital. High Priests are not destroyed by proselytism and instead remain in the territory they have converted. Tech: Organised Religion

Sorcerer: £1200. Increases upkeep by £100. Allows the hero to act as a sorcerer for the purposes of spellcasting and summoning. The hero's attack and defense bonuses do not increase. He is able to serve as a caster for sorcery and gains any other benefits available to a srocerer. Sorcerer heroes may not fight directly, except against other heroes. Tech: Sorcery [Foundation]

Guerilla: £250. Increases upkeep by £10. The hero gains expertise laying ambushes and fighting defensively as a footsoldier. His defensive bonus to leading infantry increases by 3. Tech: Infantry Training I.

IT RETURNS!

Quote from: Iituem on March 16, 2011, 12:14:19 pm

That's right, it's a Countries at War clone!* This one is heavily inspired by Master of Magic, . The short version is that everyone starts out with dark ages technology at best, but that magic has recently returned to the world as well (as a tech option). I think by now we know pretty much how this goes.

_{*Though after this many modifications, it's getting hard to tell.}

Fluff/OOC Thread here: OOC/Fluff Thread

Background

In ages past, the world was scattered tribes of all the races. Great wars were waged over the promise of power and one by one all the races were conquered. Under the Imperial rule, the land prospered. Old feuds and hostilities between the races were almost entirely forgotten.

Nearly 200 years of peace made the Empire complacent, giving rise to an overwhelming urge to explore beyond the horizon. An urge so great and powerful that the Emperor himself ordered the entire standing military force to spread out from the island nation in all directions. The exodus was seen as a strange action by the peasantry, but after so much peace no one was truly afraid of anything happening.

Weeks passed, then months, and finally after several years of no news being heard the people grew restless. The obvious need for new leadership was apparent to all, though who should lead was not. With all the major nobility missing in action, the petty bickering of bygone years returns as if it was never gone.

It's now been 10 years since the initial in-fighting started. The land is not the prosperous Utopia that it once was. Every half-ripe person with a tongue sharp enough to gather a few men together has risen to stake a claim for the Throne and to leave their mark on the land. Whether that mark is a bloody smear on a battlefield or the one causing that bloody smear has really yet to be seen.

Game Related Information

Spoiler: General Play (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

1. Battles are conducted in part by the random number generator. Units are paired up and a score between 1-100 is determined for each unit involved in combat by rolling 3d100 and dividing the score by 3. This provides a Gaussian distribution that favours most final scores being in the region 40-60.

2. Individual bonuses to attack and defense are added to each side's score. Someone must always be the aggressor in a situation (i.e. they moved into a territory to attack it) and will gain any bonuses to attack. The defender will gain any bonuses to defense.

2a. The combat engine will automatically pick those units with the best advantage to the attacker to engage in combat that the defender cannot counter effectively. Even if a tank is your best general unit, if the defender has anti-tank weaponry the game may send infantry instead because their finalised bonus to attack is higher after taking into account defensive advantages.

3. If one unit beats the other unit's score by 12 or more, the losing unit is destroyed and the winning unit is able to fight again. If victory or defeat is by less than 12, both units are wounded and unable to fight for the remainder of the battle.

4. Whichever side still has active, undamaged units when all combat is over is the winner. All damaged units on the losing side are destroyed at the end of combat unless they are able to retreat (see 5).

4a. It is possible for both sides to end on a stalemate in which both sides' units are all wounded. In this situation, whoever won the last round of combat (however slight a win that may be) counts as the winner.

4b. Although the winning side retains its units, wounded units remain unable to compete in combat for the entire next round as this time is spent healing.

5. Wounded infantry units on the losing side of a battle have a 20% chance of retreating to a neighbouring friendly territory (or nearest friendly territory within their remaining move, if it is not adjacent). Flying units and cavalry have higher retreat chances. There is also a 5% chance (modifiable with technology) of the victors capturing wounded units intact. NB: This applies equally to neutral units, who may retreat to other neutral territories to bolster their defences.

5a. Naval units have a 30% chance of retreat and 15% chance of capture.

5b. Certain units (e.g. pirates, slavers) increase the capture chance vs enemy units.

6. During naval (ship-to-ship) combat, infantry and cavalry units may not normally take part in the combat and are confined to being passengers due to the special requirements of fighting at sea. Amphibious units, ranged units, naval units, casters and flying units may all fight normally during these combats.

Spoiler: Units (click to show/hide)

1. Units normally become available on the turn after they are bought. Units generally have regular maintenance costs attached to them per turn.

2. Mercenaries can be bought on the same turn, but cost twice as much. Unless a mercenary company comes to you to make a specific offer, you can only buy units that you have the technology to build.

3. Units can be upgraded to other units of the same or similar type (e.g. spearmen to swordsmen, slingers to archers, archers to musketeers, light cavalry to heavy cavalry but not spearmen to cavalry or archers to dragons). Upgrading units costs 125% of the difference between the two types.

4. Any technological advances (e.g. improved armour) are automatically applied to units on the same turn they are researched. Unless specified, this has no extra cost. This does not apply to advances that provide a new unit entirely.

5. Ground troops can entrench for a +8 modifier to defense, but need one turn of detrenching before they can do anything else.

6. Island-hopping within an ocean zone is acceptable, but ground-based invading units without boats or planes suffer a -8 modifier to attack.

7. Crossing through enemy territory to attack another territory beyond requires you to 'mask' the enemy forces there. You must send an equal number of troops into the intermediary territory to 'tie up' the defenders; three spearmen will work as well as three heavy swordsmen (though they may not survive the attack). Once the defenders are tied up, the rest of the army can move through. Whether or not your masking forces capture the territory does not affect the success of the masking action.

8. Crossing through neutral territories (i.e. not owned by players) will require you to either mask movement as above or bribe the country with £500 to ignore your passage. Crossing through player countries is a matter of negotiation between players.

9. Some units can cross through neutral territories without penalty (e.g. caravans, spies). These units may or may not be able to cross through enemy territories as well without needing to be masked, but will usually have a chance of being discovered.

10. With a few exceptions, only infantry and heavies are able to capture territories. Ships may not capture territories. Most air units may not capture territories.

Spoiler: Heroes (click to show/hide)

Heroes are a special type of unit consisting of a single character of reknowned skill and leadership. They do not fight individually as units but are instead attached to other units in battle to provide leadership bonuses to attack and defence, amongst other potential benefits. If all other units in a battle are wounded, killed or otherwise incapacitated, heroes will be captured by the enemy side rather than fight.

The exception to this rule is fights between individual heroes. Whenever led units clash, there is a good chance (50%) that the heroes of both sides will meet in single combat first (using their general offensive/defensive bonuses as their attack/defence scores, plus any single-combat specific bonuses). During this sort of single combat one or both heroes may be wounded, killed or escape the battle unharmed. Once single combat has been resolved, heroes still able to lead will return to their units and continue the battle as before.

Heroes are quite difficult to kill. When a led unit is wounded or destroyed there is only a very slight (0.5%) chance that the hero unit will die, though a larger chance that it will be wounded (10% if unit wounded, 50% if unit destroyed). Wounded heroes are captured at the end of play if the enemy side proves victorious in the battle. If the hero unit escapes the destruction of its former led unit unscathed it will immediately attach itself to the next-strongest unit and lead that instead.

Captured heroes will work for the capturing side once they have spent a turn healing from their wounds. Wounded or undefended heroes left in a territory that is conquered will also convert to the conquering side.

Initial Hero units may be purchased for £600 by a side, have an upkeep of £30 and grant a general leadership bonus to offense and defense of +5 to any units they are stacked with. Heroes have 2 move, or the move of whatever unit they are stacked with, whichever is higher.

Single Combat Mechanics: Single combat lasts for three (hidden) rounds, during which both heroes attack each other once per round. Heroes have a hidden 'hits' stat which replenishes at the start of a turn (nominally maxed at 3); each successful hit in single combat reduces this stat by 1. This carries through between single combats in the same game turn, so it is possible for a hero to survive the first couple of single combats unscathed and be wounded in the third.

When all hits have been expended for a hero, he is either wounded or has a chance of being killed. This chance of killing is higher than for ordinary combat, but still low (2%). It is possible for both heroes to be wounded or killed during combat, as it is possible for both heroes to score hits on their opponent whilst being hit themselves.

Spoiler: Research and Technology (click to show/hide)

Research is blind. Until you discover a technology you do not know in advance how long it will take to research it. Each turn, research being invested in will be checked against a roll of 1-100. If the result is lower than the research threshold (see below formula) the technology is researched.

Threshold: £ spent / 1000 * base cap

i.e. If the base cap is 70 and you spend £1000 on research, the roll must be 70 or lower to succeed. If the base cap is 70 and you spend £500 on research, the roll must be 35 or lower to succeed.

Every turn that £500 or more is invested into a technology by anyone, the base cap will rise by 1. For every £150 above £500 invested into a technology (in one sitting), the base cap will increase by a further 1. Each side that masters the technology will permanently raise the base cap by 10. Once 5 sides have mastered the technology, it will enter the Public Domain and become available to all sides.

Technologies are split loosely by whether they are Pure or Applied. Pure technologies are often required to research new Applied technologies but may have little practical application. They are usually easier to research. Applied technologies almost always have a direct application (hence the name). There is no predefined technology tree, but it is reasonable to expect newly proposed technologies to follow a logical progression. If you try and research a technology that is too advanced, you may end up researching a prerequisite for it instead.

Magic, for all extents and purposes, is a form of technology.

Burning the Books: It is possible to completely eradicate a technology you know within your territory, provided that technology has not entered the public domain. Doing so erases the technology from your records and sets back the research cap by 10 for anyone else trying to research it, and reduces the number of sides that possess it (making it harder to get into the public domain). To get the technology back, you will have to research it again from scratch.

Any units or buildings constructed with the lost technology will remain intact, but no more can be constructed without the lost tech.

Spoiler: Economics, Resources and Trade (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Misc: Raiding and Loyalty (click to show/hide)

Raiding: In addition to simply conquering a territory, you may raid a territory. If you are victorious against all defenders (or there are no defenders), you capture the entire income for that territory's turn. Wounded defenders in this sort of skirmish are not executed at the end of battle. Successful raids also lower the Loyalty of a region.

Loyalty

Loyalty is a new 'hidden' stat for territories. A new neutral territory will generally have a Loyalty of 0. Loyalty may be raised, primarily through constructing different buildings; religious and cultural buildings (entertainment buildings, essentially) will raise Loyalty in a region. Having a state religion will also raise Loyalty in a region. Loyalty has two main effects:

Upkeep Reduction: Happier, or at least more loyal citizens are willing to work for less out of a sense of patriotism. Every point of loyalty decreases upkeep for buildings and units in that region by a certain percentage. Negative loyalty will increase upkeep accordingly.

Subversion Resistance: Certain units such as diplomats will gain the ability to sabotage or convert units or regions over to their side (requires research). High loyalty decreases the chances of success. Negative loyalty increases it.

Loyalty can be lowered through outside intervention. Units such as diplomats can lower loyalty by inciting rebellion amongst the populace. Being raided by neutral troops or rival troops who do not conquer the region will also lower loyalty. Loyalty lost in this way heals after 10 turns, or £350 can be spent per loyalty point lost to recover it.

Newly captured regions have their base loyalty set back to 0, after which bonuses from buildings etc will be re-applied. There is a 50% chance per building for cultural or religious buildings that they will be destroyed if the region is captured by military force. Subverted or traded regions will suffer no such risk.

Some buildings (such as Slavers) will reduce loyalty by their very presence and the ill effect they have on the populace.

Advice on Strategy

Why not have everyone start out with equal portions of territory (a la Risk) and have them duke it out straight away for conquest? Well, because this is really a 4X game, not a conquest game. You can play it as a conquest game and you can have a lot of fun that way, but there are other routes. It's oversimplifying, but there are essentially three strategies to follow in 4X games:

Momentum/Conquest: Perhaps the simplest strategy and common amongst more aggressive players, this strategy relies on building up momentum with one's war machine; taking some weak territories to get stronger, then using the proceeds from those to hit stronger and stronger countries until you are in control of a large portion of the world. This strategy relies on quick movement and never letting anyone get a rest. It can lead to quick and total victories, but by focusing entirely on one's army one runs the risk of falling behind technologically and economically.

Builder: Builders play a long game. Rather than engaging in rapid expansion, Builders invest in the territory they have, research technologies and turn what little land they do control into both fortresses and economic powerhouses. Only once they have a powerful technological or economic advantage do they tend to venture out to claim more land, which often they will try to improve as much as their initial plot. Builders can be far more dangerous than Momentum players if you meet them late in the game, by which time they will have stacked all the advantages on their side. It may not matter if you have an army of a hundred thousand orcs with spears if they're up against a battalion of giant killer robots.

Hybrid: In short, everything else. A hybrid strategy relies on finding the balance between imperial expansion and perfectionist development. Hybrid players tend to feel the flow of the game and respond, though they will often have an overall strategy they pursue as well.

Quote from: thatkid on June 12, 2012, 03:12:47 pm

*snipped*
Players grow impatient and irritated with volunteer GMs who have lives, and other things on their mind, and may not have even chosen to take part in this thankless task (to reiterate: thanks for GMing to CG, Terenos, Nuke, Iituem, etc.).
You Are King is not fun anymore. I don't know where we went wrong, but I imagine that it was somewhere between taking the game too seriously, and failing to keep the characters involved and joined with one another against some common threat.

Had I my way, independent characters would not be allowed save for special circumstances. But had I my way, we would still be playing in Elbreth, with the players unified under the same banner, save for those special-and-interesting circumstances of roleplay, and Iituem never would have had to quit just because a few people decided to take things too far OOC.

In my absence i have been keeping tabs on things. There's been an obvious amount of slowdown (which i noticed via 2 pages in 2 weeks). I understand Shoot's school issues more than any, and my own absence was in part to my son's pending birth (which has now passed as of Saturday the 23rd). Anyone that's had children and/or a new sibling in their home understands that birth isn't enough to return me to here in a consistent matter. For that I do appologize, as does it sadden me to see something with so much work put into it slowly die.

I can't fault ThatKid on any point really, things haven't been fun for many recently and there has been a growing number of 'soloist' mentality players trying to get involved. The backbone existed to give the original YaK a step up in this version. Having multiple starting points allowed for a diversity and an allowance for players to attempt national wars, but due to a lot of attempts at 'easy mode' acquisitions - this failed.

Overall, I'm pleased with the result of YaK II though. We took something Iituem put little long term planning into and bludgeoned it into a functional system of which several people have PM'd me about hijacking the basic ruleset to. This is the very definition of imitation being the highest form of flattery, second in my heart only to the near-harrassment levels of PMs Terenos and I recieved prior to the return of EG. While YaK and YaK II are related, they are still entirely seperate beasts.

YaK II survived several instances of OOC abuse, player time restraints causing drop outs as well as numerous GM fluctuations. There are also things it simply can't survive...

YaK was meant to be a game of narration over action. The mechanics invented and added yaK II were intended to give players more of an option to playstyle rather than assigning themselves to a King and being their obedient dog. The intention was abused, clear and simply, for that I am partially responsible. For the current slow death of the game, I am also responsible, though not as appologetic as some would likely want. Life is more important, especially that of your first born coming into this world, and while I would love to throw my hat back into the ring and GM up a storm on the level of narration we once had - it would be some time yet before that's possible. Rolls are easy, narration is a bitch.

I thank thatkid, shoot and Ardas for their acceptance of life being more important and attempting to continue the game in my absence. GM'ing wasn't entirely thankless for me though, nor was it a waste should YaK die to the dull embers of slowing interest. I will likely use the system in the future for another game, likely set in a new locale to start fresh. YaK has also sparked a number of stories I have already nailed down the shells of and which will at least entertain a few people should I finish them to some semblance of the justice they deserve.

My two cents, as dictated (but not read) between diaper changes and under massive sleep deprivation mixed with insomnia.

Im not against death, i do generally avoid it in NPC interactions - because throwing you in a dungeon is more entertaining to me AND you. I just mean that if half our player base dies in a week or two, i'll be slightly concerned.

I reserve the right to veto rampant stupidity as well. If anyone seriously questions the actions taken, just PM me. I'll look it over, but i make no promises. I trust Shoot and Ardas not to be retarded, so their judgement may likely stick.

Indeed it shouldn't, but sometimes it does. A debate on the fairness of a roll did make Nuke quit the game. If we roll in public, there's no arguing possible.

No it didn't - I was the reason for that. He can deny it all he wants, but you don't make bullshit excuses about time constraints to GM then start 2 new games yourself.

If you're using a bot though, cool - does remove a lot of the GM fungibility of rolls though.

One note: I am expecting everyone to still be alive when I can get back here unless there's overwhelming reasoning for a kill.

There shouldn't be anything to check. When you're looking at nearly 17% chance of each result - you don't get to bitch. If it becomes an issue that it looks like things are becomming biased, I'll simply kill whoever is involved. Rolling shouldn't require explanation.

As for Kathos being a man of principles... Seems like he has a lack of a definable "Principles" for that to apply to. Or at the very least he changes them fairly often. And honestly? Replacing Nikepheros with William is hardly a sound political or strategic move..."

"Money isn't everything...but if I am sure of anything, it's that there are few things Eshir couldn't make a profit off of in some form or another.

I fully expect William to get himself killed to be honest. He has enough problems in Polca to keep himself occupied let alone any real authority in Ligoria. I don't think Kathos would ever give him the position until he handles his problems in Polca. After all, what good is a military leader that can't win the smallest of battles in his own backyard?"
