Hey folks,
Before this summer I had been working on a medieval wargame.
I have done enough to let people play with it,
and give suggestions. I havent played each map
extensively, so there might be surprises, I dont know.
Obviously some sounds are going to be missing,
and I am still not completely happy with the
balance, but I am hoping people will give it a
chance and let me know if it it is decent enough
to make more maps. Otherwise, I will probably
hit the star wars map pack I have been wanting to do.
Some notes
Right now there is shumans and in one map, goblins.
Each dwelling of each team has a life of its own.
As time goes by, the populations of the
dwellings increase, enableing you when it
reaches a threshold to expand, thus giving you
more units to play with, and more money per round.
Each city has its defenders as well that
protect the city, so you dont have to think your dwelling is unprotected.
The units for the humans are:
Light infantry
Heavy infantry
Light cavalry
Heavy cavalry
Archers
Catapult
Wizard
Paladin
All infantry units and catapults move around 3
spaces, depending on terrain. Roads dont change
this, but hills and forests do.
Cavalry moves around four spaces.
Each unit has a random attack and random
defense. That means each attack and defense is
different each time. If a unit attacks, and
doesnt do damage, it is because the units
defenses were better then the attack against it.
I would recommend labeling your units since you
can have a good dozen or more wandering around.
For human troops, they each also have the
ability of gaining experience points. Each time
they attack or charge a unit, they gain an xp
point. After five points, they can upgrade to an elite unit.
I wasnt sure if five points was too low, but
hopefully some input will come out of this.
Only human troops can gain experience, it is
their distinct advantage, while the other races
I plan to make have other qualities added to
their units. For instance, the goblin archers
use poisoned arrows, hopefully. They also have a flying cavalry unit.
Goblin units:
Goblin infantry, which is roughly a light infantry unit
Goblin warg cavalry, an elite light cav unit
Goblin wyvern cavalry, a flying unitthat can go over mountains and water, etc.
Goblin archers, they use poison
Ballista, which is basically their form of a siege engine.
Note to Ian: I dont want this on the map page yet since it isnt done.
I think that covers most of everything.
