ABOUT:


BREAKING NEWS: A whitelist! In order to play, ask in this topic. We will PM you as soon as we can with some questions. Give the right answers and you will be whitelisted!

Mini Empires: Chaos Unleashed sounds like just another repetitive Mini Empires server, but I am in-fact trying to bring Mini Empires out of its falling with a new concept!

You know what servers we don't see a lot on Blockland? Warhammer themed servers. I notice we have all these avid Warhammer fans around blockland and its forums, but no servers! I'm here to find an answer. I'm introducing you to a Warhammer Fantasy(Medieval) based Mini Empires. All complete with race leaders, up gradable/increasing squads, based lore, storyline, rolling(dice), and a large map! This server has 4 races and is based on "legendary battles/apocalypse" from Warhammer .

 40k fans will be able to enjoy this. It is basically the relic games with more complex combat and swords. Nearly all personalities and such from 40k will be here.(relic fan here, I prefer 40k personalities) Think of it as a smaller scale 40k without guns.

This does NOT play like mini empires. This is a campaign, each (normal) player is given a squad of soldiers(minifigres). They must complete missions given by the race leader. Mission example:

Quote
Race leader: Go to (island) from the west and defeat all inhabitants
The player will then find a way to the island(finding a docked boat nearby). When they arrive at island, the player uses his tactical and strategical knowledge to defeat the enemy occupying the island

The (normal) player is basically you at a tabletop game - controlling the mini figures and fighting in combat. The race leader (admin) is much like the player, except they tell a player to do X instead of going through travel and combat. So here's the ranks of controlling: mini figures > player > admin(race leader).

I understand that Warhammer fans hate to see a good concept be ruined. I will take the liberty of placing the server under strict rule. This will ensure that such doesn't happen:

  • New players chat spamming questions
  • pissing contests(internet fight)
  • wandering players(crowding near a battle, or in personal space)
  • Noob players who don't read rules or know how to play despite constantly being told to click given links
  • Dumbasses
  • Trolls
  • Logic national socialists("WTF THEY DON'T MOVE THAAAT SLOW ITS DIFFERENT IN THE BAORD GAME")
  • Spammers
  • richards/friends("forget you I don't take orders from you"/"mondayfriend")
  • Spewing random crappy discusions into chat
  • Edgy 12 year olds trying to start fights ("wow you are pink gay"/"wow the cultists remind me of christians")

Admins will be placed under strict rule too. Don't be afraid of tyrannical admins going off on a power trip unanswered. They are players with a little power. Don't leave the server and go crying to Drama because one of the admins/you were a richard. A simple discussion later and everything is solved.

There are more offenses. Such as not having common sense. Long bans for offenses and strict rule will filter out the players who have no chance of giving anything to the server. Players who know how to play, are mature, and have been a help(1 or more successful deeds, missions, battles) will be given more warnings and chances.

At that, the most filtered, top notch server will be born. This will only happen with your help, so come join us!

Story


There are four races in Chaos unleashed: Second Assault on Albion: Humans, Chaos, Orks, and Dwarves. Each have their owns strengths and weaknesses. For example, Dwarves: They are smart(inventions, factories), grow quickly in mass, and are as strong as humans(above average). However, they are slow, bad at range, and start the game with a tiny force compared to other races. All race info can be found in a link under "How to Play" section. Now, the story behind this server(Will not explain lore for each race - go here if curious: http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline/Empire, http://warhammerfb.wikia.com/wiki/Empire,_The,
http://warhammerfb.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos,
http://warhammerfb.wikia.com/wiki/Orcs,
http://warhammerfb.wikia.com/wiki/Dwarfs)

Welcome to the world of Warhammer Fantasy, it is great in size and history.

Our story, however, does not cover this map above. Our story is set right here...


Between the land of Norsca and Albion lies a great ocean scattered with icebergs and bitter sea. Albion being dangerous to get to and being known as "swamp island" by the majority, it was kept by the Orks undisturbed due to its general uselessness. This was how it was until a human scout ship landed in southern Norsca around 1997 IC. They told that there are a group of islands North-East of Albion that are resourceful, big, and inhabitable. The story traveled around southern Norsca with small influence to actually invade the land. The story eventually made it to The Empire, and then to The Emperor(ruler of The Empire) himself. The Emperor saw great opportunity invading this land for resources. This was forgotten, however, as none of the Human kingdoms could afford to try and capture the islands at the time. All the kingdoms were either financially stuck or already at war.

The discovery was archived by The Empire, and forgotten by minds.

Now, two centuries later around 2240 IC, the archive was brought to a new emperor's attention. He took much interest in the islands, a new war for resources was just what The Empire needed to spark a new economical boom. The Empire needed to start massing a military force great enough for an Ork war. They called across several regions of The Empire for volunteers, mercenaries, and great soldiers. Finally, after 3 years, The Empire had an invasion force large enough to take the islands in less than a year. It only took 2 years to fully train and prepare their new force for the war. The future seemed bright for The Empire.

The Empire's invasion launched from Nordland,


 the force had also represented Nordland, which was where the soldiers were called to and trained. (blue ingame, [except for flagmen - yellow] damn 1 limit coloring!)


The Nords(Nordland) had encountered surprisingly high resistance from the Orks on contact with the islands. They had to resolve to boat-to-surface combat because they couldn't even land. Their high powered cannons and over-whelming force drove back the Orks long enough for the Nords to get to shore. After many long fights and skirmishes, the first island was taken. It was the second largest island but did not have as many resources as they thought it would. Nonetheless, bases were set up around the island. They named the island Bijoux after their commander, Bijoux Fontin, who had lead great strategical performance and caused victory for the Nords.

The Nords and Orcs had fought for nearly a year, fighting at least every other day. By the middle of the campaign, both had owned half the islands. They both had met their match, each learning more about each other's tactics by the battle. The fact that they were at a 5 month long stalemate felt worse than the tip of any sword. This was how the war was going until the tenth month. On the tenth month, the sun shined less, the clouds came, the grimiest, coldest, darkest winter. This wasn't a winter as much as it was a warning. The sky got redder and darker. The land had felt unnaturally unsettling. The high priest of the Nords knew, however. He had been through this before. The dark essence of Chaos was starting to corrupt the sky, and would soon corrupt the land. The priest sent a messenger party of four back to Nordland to report of what he saw, and make sure they send reinforcements.

When the messenger party arrived, they told The Emperor that Chaotic storms where headed towards the islands, that Chaos was likely to invade. The Emperor understood this major problem and ordered that the rest of the military left in Nordland be shipped to the islands. It took nearly two weeks to gather up all the remaining soldiers and ships as a last minute rescue. When they arrived, they saw the aftermath of what the priest feared would happen. Chaos forces had seized and taken countless islands and nearly completely wiped out all Nord forces on the islands and took prisoners for sacrificing. When the report came back to The Emperor, he was not happy. He immediately called to start growing another invasion force and finally force all hostiles out of the islands.

TIMELINE:

2246 IC: The Empire invades Albion islands with Nords.

2247 IC: Chaos invades the islands, taking them by surprise. Nords are wiped out, Orcs lose land.

2248 IC(now): Nord reinforcements arrive only to find grim aftermath, The Empire starts massing a new force that will take the islands.


Rules:


The rules are simple: know how to play, read all topics, don't be a noob.

Some of these, too. Being these people will get you banned.

  • New players chat spamming questions
  • pissing contests(internet fight)
  • wandering players(crowding near a battle, or in personal space)
  • Noob players who don't read rules or know how to play despite constantly being told to click given links
  • Dumbasses
  • Trolls
  • Logic national socialists("WTF THEY DON'T MOVE THAAAT SLOW ITS DIFFERENT IN THE BAORD GAME")
  • Dramatic hams("BOOHOO I DIED")
  • Spammers
  • richards/friends("forget you I don't take orders from you")
  • Spewing random crappy discusions into chat
  • Edgy 12 year olds trying to start fights ("wow you are pink gay"/"wow the cultists remind me of christians")

Some major ones: Respect admins, respect players, don't be a richard, be civil, don't get into debates, and don't be an annoying cunt.

You will be banned if you break the rules and rarely warned. They all add out to this: Have common sense, be respectful, be civil, don't be an annoying cunt, and read all the topic.

I probably repeated the same one a lot, so you shouldn't have problems following.

This doesn't look that bad.

Nice job

The pictures of the server build are incredible. I can't wait to come today.


i feel like the islands could have had more detail put into them, as said you didn't want it to be just another mini empires so i automatically assume the islands wont copy the same (standard?) style of most other servers.

So how would I go about making a new concept of island design?

A lot about this server is different from other Mini Empires but that doesn't mean it doesn't still shares some similarities.

So how would I go about making a new concept of island design?
i sincerely hope you are joking, that is like asking for a different type of house design.
sorry for that, but if you'd like me to join your server at some point to show you a "new concept" i can gladly do that.

fantastic work skoop

I would love that, any help is appreciated! I would love to see this design, also. (Generally helping the server quality grants you admin.)

fantastic work skoop

That means a lot, dez, thank you.

Hard at work on the How to Play topic right now. I'm having doubts about the server being released today but I will try my absolute hardest.

Confirm me as rule enforcer

Awesome job, skoop. I love games that require stragety, so expect me often.

Thank you! Server will be up in a few.

Confirm me as rule enforcer

Got it.

Thanks, all of you, for the kind words. Rules are done and I am setting the server up now.

We're ready for players - we've just got online! The player limit is 6 at the moment, so come before it becomes full!
