gunner154 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry, I'm pulling out. It's getting really close to my exam period, which basically greatly reduces the time I can devote to this. Unless you really don't mind badly delayed posts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Random notesEconomic:In order to produce capital to spend, and procure units, each side will require industrial centres. The amount of industrial centres that are available at the beginning will vary greatly, depending on the player's location. However industrial centres can be built with investment, and economic growth will also help produce new industrial centres.Industrial centres process raw materials to provide the player with money.Starports will also provide additional income through trade.Players may also lend other plays money.Each year a budget is produced.Military:Space units will be available, but battles will be restricted to within the star system (so no flying off to Arrakis!)Ground units will be divided up into different sizes: brigade (500 troops) mainly just used for special forces, and palace/house guards.regiment (2,000 troops)division (10,000 troops)naval units will be available, need suggestions for this.Air units will be available in the form of carryalls and ornithoptors.All units will require maintenance.Results of battles will be determined by me, following rules which will be developed and explained in time.Other:Land will be divided up into several hexes/squares, and players fight for the control of these (like the Emperor/Dune II maps of old), but there will also be several other factions fighting which aren't controlled by a player (although can be taken over if a new player wishes to join. Their actions will be decided by me, and any other moderator that is appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Basic rules (work in progress):Economic:A nation may only have one industrial centre per 1 million population.At reduced spending an industrial centre is worth 0.5 points, but growth is 10% (this is only available to certain countries who have met certain conditions)At normal spending, an industrial centre is worth 1 point, and growth is 4%At increased spending, an industrial centre is worth 3 points, and growth is 1% (this is only available to nations facing crisis, or at war)Industrial centres can be build at a cost of 3 points for 4 yearsTrade:seaports are worth 0.5 a year. 1 per 2 million population. Costs 1.5 points for 2 years to buildAirports are worth 0.5 points a year. Only 1 airport per 2 million pop. Costs 2 points to buildstarports are worth 1 points a year. Only 1 airport per 5 million pop  Costs 4 points to build. large starports are worth 2 points a year. Only available in capital city. Upgrade from normal starport for 2 points for 2 years.The total amount of trade is to be divided up into where it goes:Eg, if the total amount of trade for House A is 10 points:To House B: 6To House T: 2To House E: 1To House P: 1This comes into play when nations are under embargo, or at war.Growth:Growth is calculated by multiplying the percentage growth by the procurements.Social spending:Level 1: 0.1 points per 1 mil popLevel 2: 0.3 points per 1 mil popLevel 3: 1 point per 1 mil popLevel 4: 2 points per 1 mil popLevel 5: 4 points per 1 mil popLow social spending combined with other factors can lead to social unrest.Tech levels:Level 1: Basic leadership. Little cohesion. No dealings off-planetLevel 2: Stable Minor House. Dealings with Smugglers and the GuildLevel 3: etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I was wondering, would anyone be interested in starting this again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakgab Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I might. Read the last few posts (incl mine) in ''Fiction Comments Go Here'' though. I prefer the Medieval Total war suggestion. The battles will be a lot less simplistic and more sensible, and conditions can easily be set without messing about as skirmish/multiplayer lets you do that. Battles with non-player factions could even simply be decided via skirmish and honest role-players. Could certainly streamline things earlier on when everybody's often busy picking off the generally weak NP factions that abound.BTW, now that fan fic has received a post, for the first time all major sections have received a post in the same day. It feels like a machine has had all it's components activated, like all the legendary fires have been lit. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well, I don't have Mediaeval Total War.Read the last few posts of this thread about the rules and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
