Hey you all. I just wanted to announce a new mod I am working on, maybe get some feedback. A tournament mod might sound silly, but don't let it fool you it's going to be huge.
Currently I am planning (and have already completed some) to include following:
- A dynamic tournament system
of different types and locations in different cities
- 350+ arena fighters
(no regulars, veterans, champions etc all are pre-made, named, customized fighters with customized gear and skills) some are all-in-all who participate in tourneys here and there. Some will be regulars in specific tournaments. There will be champions for different tournament types and these champions are dynamic, i.e a unknown fighter who manages to win the not-so-prestigeful tihr sword-duel tournament a few times, might become the new champion.
He then gets temporarily improved skills (to more easily maintain his champion status) while the old champion reverts to his old state. Poor fighters who manage to improve by winning in the low lvl tournaments may move on to more prestigeful tournaments in other cities.
- so far a total of 19 diffrent tournaments
based in 8 cities.
The tournament types are following:
lance & horse (the most prestigeful)
sword duel
chose-your-own-gear duel
bow & horse duel
some special 2vs2 and 3vs3 point-based tournaments
- The ability to compete
in a tournament is depending on your current renown (basicly how famous you are) fame will add or deduct depending on how well you do in a tournament.
The 2 most prestigeful tournaments requires that you are at least a knight in either army and the 1 most prestigeful tournament requires that you pay a sum of 20 000 denars to either of the kings for a lord-and-land title (yes you will get your own piece of land, a house with a chest where you can store items, not much but figured it would make it feel a bit more rewarding.)
-Every tournament
will have its own leading-board with current tournament standings. Every tournament will have between 15+player - 63+player npc fighters who compete depending on a randomized factor and how many fighters fit in the current tournament conditions.
That's all for now, about 20% of all the things i mentioned so far are already completed.
I'll update this thread as soon as I have more news. I hope this sounds interesting and please reply with any comments or feedback as you like
Update 29/01/2006 23:43 gmt:
The tournaments will be random. Which types of tournaments and where and when will be based on random triggers. And which he can enter will also be calculated by a players fame and status in the world.
Some tournaments however will be held on certain days. Like the Zendar open-for-public tournament which will be held each 7th day. The largest tournaments will be held each 21th day.
23:52 gmt:
The first time you enter the Zendar tournament it will be a static (non dynamic) first-time tournament so you don't have to wait for a certain day if you're using a save-game from the unmoded game. After that the Zendar tourmanent guy will always tell you when the next tournament will be held. There will also be a tournament board in each town where you can see what the upcoming tournaments are and where they will be held.

Added: Different heroes can be found in various location, if you're lucky, known enough and skilled enough they might just join your party.
Build up your team of fighters, fire old ones and get new better fighters on your team if possible.
Enter team tournaments together with your team and compete against other teams in fierce 2vs2, 4vs4 or even 6vs6 combat.
Also 1vs1 team tournaments with simulated battles between your team mates and the other teams fighters to see just how good in combat they really are. The team with the last fighter standing will take the win, but who knows, if you're good enough the rest of your team might not even have to fight
Non-linear story added
The first zendar tournament will as stated, be static. When you manage to win it, you will get a tip through the tavernkeeper about a underground tournament to be held in Tihr. A tournament which will be fought using your own gear (which is considered highly prestigeful considering lethal weapons can inflict lethal wounds :p). If you win, you'll open the doors to compete in the official tournaments which are, like I said before all random and dynamic. So you're back to sandbox-mode again and can do whatever you want. Be it improve your party fighting of bandits and such or join the army and fend of your enemies. However your lust for fame and honor lies in the tournaments, when you are starting to reach your destination, the grand tournament in (undecided city, reaching this point will also take a very long time since there is a lot to do and alot of sites and opportunities).. ANYWAY, winning the grand tournament in blablabla-town will finally open up THE grand ADVENTURE into foreign lands. To compete in a 4-event tournament, crowning the WORLD champion in: justing, sword dueling, archery and SURVIVOR MODE against a horde of arena veterans and champions. Which will keep coming one after one until you're down, there after whether you win or not is depending on how many rounds the other competitors made it through.
The journey to the foreign lands is not an easy one however, and it will contain strong story elements and alot of fighting and adventuring to reach your destination. The story it self will be up to you to find out as soon as I've gotten that far and released the final mod, as I do not want to ruin it for you by telling you everything in advance
