Deadliest Dwarf: The Nerf Tourament - Down For the Count
« on: August 07, 2009, 12:32:50 am »

I suppose it should be noted that this thread is probably PG-16 for gratuitous violence and other things.

Presently, the Nerf Tournament bracket is full. You may register a fighter on the waiting list, but just mind the fact that the rules are subject to change.  Signup details can be found below.

Ever since I did the Morul/Ironblood Matchups in the Nist Akath thread, I have been considering starting a colliseum thread.  Warriors of Armok: Magma of Life finally gave me the idea on how I could execute it.  Thanks to BloodBeard for letting me use his equipment pricing and open a competing thread.

I figured that my 10x40 rectangle wasn't really interesting enough to have a total deathmatch tournament, so with the help of slave labor and illegally acquired materials, I finally finished construction of the great Dwarf Memorial Stadium.

Deadliest Dwarf does not focus on equipment as much as it does on skill.  This arena has different rules:
Each character gets 1500☼ to spend on skills and equipment.  Every victory increases your rank by 1 and grants you an additional (rank x 400)☼.  Values of goods and services are listed below.

Spoiler: Skills (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Signups for the current tournament are closed, but any who post a fighter shall be placed on the waiting list.  Please post your fighter name, inventory, skills, and fighting style (you don't have to get too in-depth, but give me something to work with).

Each round of the tournament will be a multi-battle showcase.  Automation allows for me to play out many, many battles to determine who is truly deadliest.  In the end of each round, the loser is eliminated from the game entirely.  Players are always allowed to revive dead characters, but they will be moved to the end of the waiting list, so as to give everyone a fair chance to compete.

Gender: Male

Skills:
lvl 4 shield (800)
lvl 2 weapon [warhammer] (400)
lvl 2 armor (200)

Equipment: Copper Shield (30)

If not change skills to:
lvl 2 shield (600)
lvl 2 armor (200)
lvl 2 weapon (300)

and equipment to:
Copper Shield (30)
Copper War Hammer (60)
Copper Plate Mail (200)
Copper helm (30)

20 points left over

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Ill take one too, I hope I understood the skill chart right.

Osdam Cheesebrains
Gender: male

Skills:
lvl 2 armour (200)
lvl 3 weapon (spear) (600)

Equipement:
bronze spear  (150)
bronze chainmail (300)
bronze right gauntlet (75)
bronze helm (75)

Fighting style:
Keeps distance from his foe, while aiming to stab him in his weakest points. Uses chainmail to be faster then with bulky plate. Wield his spear righthanded (if you cant get him to, make him use a left gauntlet instead of right)

Its too bad you cant multigrasp a spear as dwarf.

Blah at copper weapons and armour, I shun its unrealisticness! ;D
(copper is quite useless for armour and weapons in real life, especialy the armour bends and warps and will probably just weight you down and get in the way)

EDIT: edited skills properly.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

Will you be posting video links, or just a blow-by-blow description of the fight with screenshots?

Just to clarify, skill levels are tiered.  To buy a level 2 skill, you need to first own the level 1 skill.

Beanchubbs built his character correctly.

To get, for example, Level 6 shield user off the bat would cost 200 + 400 + 600 + 800 + 1000 + 1200 = 4200 dwarfbucks.  However, increasing from level 5 to level 6 would only cost 1200.  I'm sorry to all that haven't purchased skills in this fashion, but you will need to redraft your character.  I'd post a new progression chart to clarify, but I'm about to leave for the day.

Also, I'll probably post video, but fights can get pretty messed up, so i'll probably leave some parts out in the blow-by-blow.

With these fights, don't you use companion to turn one dwarf into an enemy, wait for the other to path to him, then do the same for the other? If so, I might think about doing some fights myself to see what the best strategies are.
