Dogman...I doubt this is the thing for you as you don't fully grasp what is going on here. Possibly after the rules are released you can further understand the workings of the campaign, but at this point it's quite obvious you are not following along. I would recommend just holding any decisions on participation until the rules are released and you understand the concept of what this is.Dogman said:
Just some advice.

Great to see PTK reorganizing (and, more importantly, participating in ROCK
)Couple of things:
1) Is "Falcoln" a typo from "Falcon"?
2) The lore may have to be changed a bit for the campaign (PTK doesn't strictly exist), but don't worry about that now; you can talk to me on steam or it may become clearer on Friday.
And to everyone:
We are on track for a Friday (afternoon) release of the ruleset!
The custom scening info will be included in the release, but just a heads up for those mapmakers that are getting a head start, we will be using Modoc's Native Scene Prop Expansion!
Anyone who knows what that is, will no doubt be excited, if you don't however, here's a teaser:Native Scene Prop Expansion
I'll type a fancier introduction here later. Here are the list of triggers.
(Variable ids will be referred to as var1 and var2).
Winch_b:
Values for var1:
0 - Affects portcullises
1 - Affects drawbridges (rotates 90 degrees)
2 - Affects draw_bridge_a (slides)
3 - affects ramp12 (like an elevator)
portcullis: var1*var2 (in centimeters) will determine how far up the gate rises. If var1 is 0, the default is used.
draw_bridge_a: slides along its z-axis for a length determined by var1*var2. If var1 is 0, the default is used.
ramp12: slides along its y-axis (rotate it to use it like an elevator) for a length determined by var1*var2. If var1 is 0, the default is used.
weavery_die_pool_r:
Values for var1:
0 - normal
1 - act like a button when hit
Values for var2 is var1=1:
0 - Affects portcullises
1 - Affects drawbridges (rotates 90 degrees)
2 - Affects draw_bridge_a (slides)
3 - affects ramp12 (like an elevator)
stone_step_a:
Values for var1:
0 - normal
1 - act like a stone trap-trigger when stepped on
Values for var2 is var1=1:
0 - Affects portcullises
1 - Affects drawbridges (rotates 90 degrees)
2 - Affects draw_bridge_a (slides) (only opens, doesn't close)
3 - affects ramp12 (like an elevator)
weavery_dye_pool_p:
Acts like a bucket of boiling oil when var1 = 1. Suggested resize to x=0.4 y=0.4, z=0.5
barrier_8m
Kills players on contact is var1=1
door_destructible: No longer destructible--teleports players to another door with the same var1 value.

I have never played Strategus, but several others have made that same comparison.

Never played total war either D: but I know enough about it to say that that is a good comparison.
Slytacular said:
Movement is turn-based and submitted weekly (actually, the whole thing is on a one week = one turn cycle). Not really sure what you're asking here - can you be more specific? (or just wait 'til Friday afternoon
)
I think I've read some where that you will have pieces on the board? For each turn, does a team move one piece, or do multiple? How far can some of our pieces move on the map? Do we have a lot of armies, or very little? Do we create armies? Are there any other special pieces that are not armies? Like spies, princesses, assassins, diplomats, merchants? What does our pieces look like? Will I get to pick my favorite color ?

Vaegirs are currently resiting all attempts at balancing. Look for the website to open on Monday; I'll keep everyone posted here.

If you guys need any event administrators or moderators, I'll volunteer for whichever is more needed.
A couple of questions.
On the turn cycle, will each clan have an assigned position within the turn cycle, or will it be first come first serve? (as in the first clan to send you there "moves" etc get to be the first ones to do it?)
Also, will clans be able to submit there own custom siege maps for there capitol territory? But with restrictions, there has to be X number of entrances into the castle, then X number of paths to the flag etc.
