Would You Play This?

I got an idea bouncing around in my mind for a map:

Each player starts with a warlord who is bent on domination. The map is filled with villages to conquer, by killing the mayor/lord/king. Towns vary in difficulty.

There would also be Thieves Dens, where you could buy supplies and hire mercenaries.

Every time you conquer a town you gain control over it. Its income is added to yours as well as the soldiers there.

The goal of the game is to capture the main city. It's heavily guarded, and there's other Warlords to look out for as well.


So, does that sound like a game you would want to play?

So a cross between Risk and King of the Hill? That'd be interesting. :thup:

So you only start with a warlord nothing else?
would the thieves den be somewhat hidden or out in the open?
This idea has potential hopefully you can make the best of it

I like the idea, a few things I'd change are..
Nobody is allied. (Or you can ally with commands)
You start with a small camp (Tents, etc)
You start with a small group of bandits.
The aim of the game is to kill eachother :)

Instead of you objective being to capture the main city it should just provide more units than usual or better units when you capture it to aid you in your quet for world domination. Romeks suggestions are good to
And Romek that is more than one thing changing :p

Hm I think I may add an 'evolution' feature so that as your hero levels up he becomes stronger; like, he starts just as a thug and eventually becomes a warlord. And I like the idea of having a small starting camp, Romek.

That evolution idea is great, maybe once you get to lvl 10 you "evolve" into a different unit skin, and get different skills.

Is it gonna be when your warlord dies, no matter how many towns/units u got you lose? Or you have to kill warlord and all of the players towns?

Technically you can't 'lose', you can just not win. If your warlord dies he will revive at a Thieves' Den.

I would make victory controlling every town but I plan on making nine of them, so it would probably be something of a long game. If it's just 'get the city' then it doesnt take so long to win.

I like the idea, but I say it should be more like a 3v3v3, then having like warlords plan out attacks and stuff.

I don't think it should be make your own allies because there is always 1 person who winds up by themselves, usually the people who dl and they were be utterly screwed

I like the idea. Teams of 2 would be gould in this game.

Here's an idea for ur map:
When you capture a town, it has a regular spawn of units (eg 5 footmen) and have triggers which make them attack the closest enemy town.

This sounds a lot like War of the Lost Kingdoms with the hero idea from Creep Wars. I'd suggest downloading these two maps and playing them like mad. The first one more than the second.

Haha, sorry, that is the funniest spelling mistake, hopefully I have seen in a while +rep dude.

On Topic: Teams and like side quests would make me maybe play it, just not a big fan of such maps.

I'm not much for controlling armies, but I think this would be very fun! Just make sure not to make armies TOO big, because you can only select 12 units at a time ;)

make more strategy instead of full on whoever has the biggest army wins

Make it so instead of one pro instantly controlling lots of cities at the start and then proceeds to destroy everyone, if you could get it so you can take 12 or so guys and sneak in and kinda ambush the towns that would be cool

Yeah I've begun messing with it and for probably the first half of the game you won't be getting more than 12 men for an attack force, unless you're not gonna defend your towns at all. Although, I might make the bandits more expensive to hire. It's more about taking out the mayor of the town as fast as you can with as little casualties as possible, because when you kill him the soldiers you're fighting now will go to your team.

I was thinking of another feature. When a player takes the main city, all the remaining warlords are allied against him and have 15-20 (not sure yet) minutes to kill him, and if they do then they are all declared "victors".

Then I wouldn't want to capture the main city.

I would play it exactly the way it is mentioned here. As long as it is FFA. Cause it would be too easy in my opinion if you could ally others.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
