Revoltech's Mini Empires

[Rhet]

#News

5-25-13 : Server Launched.
5-26-13 : Topic Page Created.

Welcome stranger, to the worlds of empires and adventures! Rule your own empire and take over others in the World of Nilakin and Calabrin

#Rules

1. No horseplay or messing around is allowed in this server. If done, punishment will be a ban or a kick, depending.
2. All spammy builds will be deleted. Again, if you're new, tell admins.
3. No metagaming or godmodding and teleporting is allowed, what so ever.
4. Respect admins. Never argue with them, if argument is for a stupid reason, tell the host. Admins are mostly correct.
5. All units MUST be labeled with HP. Without a label, the unit is useless and is unable to be used in battle.
6. Meteors can only be spawned by Super Admins. If a meteor is spawned by an non-admin, they will be banned.
7. Dragons will not be able to be tamed. Do not act like a dumbass and claim you tamed one. Speaking of which, you may not build one nor spawn one. Admins only.
8. Please, use the mini empire bricks in a correct way. Do not spam the bricks, please.
9. Attacking players at a very low time is not acceptable. You may only attack people who are ready.
10. Try and be as realistic as possible. Don't just poof resources out of your ass.
11. Start as a very small village with only tents. Start to collect resources. Make sure you inform that you're collecting resources.
12. Do not make fun of others empires. Remember, others might be new to Mini Empires. Result in this will be a ban.
13. You MUST, and I say MUST make a playercard in the playercards room in order to begin your adventure in playing Mini Empires. Ask an admin to make one for you. // PLAYERCARDS ARE IN MAINTENANCE FOR NOW, SO NO PLAYERCARDS
14. Do not spam any sorts of magic. You may only be able to collect magic when you are told do so by an admin.


#How to Play

Playing Mini empires isn't that hard to understand really. It says it all in the name. "Mini" and "Empires." This clearly means that each person must create a Mini empire which they gradually expand and discover new things overtime. Also, make sure you always start as a very small tribe with tents, or something close to that. Now these researches and objects don't just poof out of your ass. These take time, to make it realistic. For example, if I want to get advanced house, I must do research. I MUST type in "-*Empire has begun researching Advanced houses*-" Now where advanced houses is, could be anything. From Advanced drills to ships and boats, it basically never ends. Now, also, remember to research specific units and barracks. Once you think you have enough units, you can go right ahead and attack anyone you wish! But make sure it's for a reason. Such as for land or resources. Once you take-over an empire, you either leave the land, or take it and expand your empire across other islands. Also, with the lands come some resources from the other person. Speaking of which, if your empire is attacked and beaten, you must clear your bricks. Keep that in mind. So pretty much, that's actually how you play Mini Empires. And as always, make sure you have fun!


#Updates

UPDATE
5-26-13 / We have made a topic page!

#Playercards (Original concept by Furdle)

Another thing I've added to this server is playercards. Currently, playercards are not being used. Their under maintenance. But basically, playercards just indicate your name, Empire name, era, flag, and your trophies. For trophies, you might earn them for winning against a battle between someone or earning admin. That's really all about playercards!



NEW UPDATE ON PLAYERCARDS // Playercards are not active for a short amount of time. So for now, don't ask an admin or the host to make you a playercard. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

#Battle System
Now, this battle system mod is fairly simple to understand. Here are some pictures down below to show you how it works.


There are 3 rolls. One for Units, one for Structures, and other is for retreating. Once you attempt to attack a unit, I use the role command (Or any admin) and it tells the server a random %. For example, I got 51%. That means the unit I attacked gets 51% off of their unit. It's not hard. Works the same with structure. But for retreat, it's 50/50. 1-50% means Half of their people escaped, and 50%-100% means all escaped. Pretty simple, eh? This mod makes it simple for battles and no unfair battles. Also, here's a list of what the units should be labeled in HP wise.

Field men 4x4 Medieval (The whole 4x4 plate covered with men) : 100 HP
Structure Medieval : Cannot be over 1500 HP
Structure Future : Cannot be over 3500 HP
Field men 4x4 Future (The whole 4x4 plate covered with men) : 250 HP
Boats Medieval : Cannot be over 800 HP
Spaceships Future : Cannot be over 5000 HP
Drills Future : Cannot be over 500 HP
Motherships Future : Cannot be over 10,000 HP

ALERT! We currently have just got a person who copied our mod we made named Jakob. He claims I agreed to let him, but he has the wrong info. Here's the link to the drama.

If you have other questions on what to add on your HP, ask the host, he'll help you.

Wow, I think this is way different from other plain and boring mini empires.

This one looks legit and fun.

Yes, completely different. And not to forget, this is just the beginning.

Didn't Jakob copy your battle system? I saw it when I was on his server :I

you should update that mini-empires mod

[LeetZero]

I find the whole "blocktheminicitiesbygiantclif fs" thing way too mainstream.
In a bad way, not trying to sound like a hipster, but it would be heavily more nicer if you would use build zones instead of cliffs to block off regions. It looks nicer and there's no more allowance for "cut off" islands.
Also I am not sure how this is that much different from other mini empires, also the battle system sounds a little unfair:
 
What if a unit has low HP but is armed to the teeth, or a unit is just transport, has no attack but you want it to have a forgetstuffload of defense? Using percentage for battle sounds uneven, the admin should input an attack/defense of each unit too, which would add in an algorithm.
Damage = (attack*2*random0.5-1.5)-defense.
If an unit has attack 10 and another has 50 HP and defense:
If random is 0.5, the attack will end up the same attack points that it has. Basically, the unit's attack will always be the minimum damage value. The damage would result in 10.
If random is 1.5, the attack will end up with three times the attack points. Damage would be 30.
Random 1 would just double attack points.
A different algorithm could be used indeed, but complete randomness without taking count of any unit "perks" is plain boring and not any less useless than it was without.
Also the attack points/defensive points should be considered by the admin, not the user, based on how the unit looks.


Just noticed the "If your empire is attacked and beaten, clear your bricks" part. That is just plain rough. It's not a instant game of C&C or Age of Empires here, you actually built stuff and not to mention the soon-to-be-implemented player cards will make a rancid hit onto this. Not to mention that a huge empire can just destroy all defiants and call it a day. I really think you should recap this into just some sort of penalty or some house removals. The penalty could be like, being blocked from resourcing, making units or building for a time or something.


Also could you please add a server label/link onto the OP? I seem to have difficulty trying to find the server in-game.

Yeah..a lot of updates coming. Also, the server isn't up that much. So sorry about the inconvenience.

Servers you've administrated at: Kong123 and Wink's Deathrace, Hammereditor's urban TDM, C++'s pushbroom FFA
Who can recommend you as an admin?: Kong123, Hammereditor, C++ and maybe Whirlwind.
Why do you deserve to have admin?: I am a dedicated admin, and I am very reliable. Though I am a very effective admin, you will often see me playing and enjoying the servers I moderate. I am fair, firm and kind.  You will often see me engaging with the players, and giving help where help is needed. If you need anything done, I am on RTB and not shy of any hard work, as I am a pretty good builder and eventer.

(You will probably know me as Edd, as we used to work together on Kong's server.)

(I am usually on Blockland for most of the day, although school work can hinder my playtime and I can guarantee ATLEAST 3-4 hours a day.)

Thanks.

Why do you deserve to have admin?: I'm a little monday. I like your server and I believe it should have good players for it. Not people who Godmode, make stuffty builds, or generally just spam. I like your server better than Jakob's because it's not ran by a 5 year old who talks condescending about his own server.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Hello, this is Revoltech reporting. As you may know, my account was banned from the forums. So now, I can't edit this post. I had another account laying around so I instead posted this on this account. So just ignore this Post and look at the new one. Thanks. I hope to see you soon!

Servers you've administrated at: I used to host a huge Post-Apocalyptic RP server.
Who can recommend you as an admin?: Probably Changeling, maybe some other people.
Why do you deserve to have admin?: I am a good builder and a good admin, I can be there for people whether or not I'm building. There has been a lot of problems I can't solve since I'm not in a place of power and there is currently a big spammer and griefer on the server right now ruining my build and I would like to take care of it.
