POTCO World Takeover

[Swash]

The War Begins....

I do not know where the old thread went or why, but a new battle has begun.
When the first game began I noticed "flaws" in it and now i'm correcting them.

Fixed Flaws list:
1. Instead of infinite open spaces I am limiting it down to 10
2. Instead of making new types of troops for your army I am picking the types you can use.
3. Instead of choosing how many units you can make I am picking how many you can produce at a certain time.
4. Instead of having multiple islands you will be able to have 1 island with multiple cities in it.
5. Instead of just sending units over to wherever in the caribbean you will be be limited an amount of spaces you can go per turn.
6. Instead of making your units "fly" across the caribbean you will have to load land units onto a ship.

Thats the list of flaws already fixed right now at the top of my head, but I will fix more as I go on explaining the game.

Q. How does the game work
Well first you'll start out with 100 gold to get your island set up and everything, then you have to set up defence and get your city booming then you'll need to do whatever you can to win. Does that sound easy enough. Either way I'll break it down

Buildings- Structures that can help your gold, culture, science, and food production
Gold Production-
Market- Doubles gold production in your city
Bank- Quadruples gold production in a city

Science production-
Library- Doubles production of science in a city
University- Quadruples Science production in a city

Food production-
Trading Post- Doubles Food production in a city
Sea post- Makes it able to get food from the ocean

Culture-
Temple- Doubles culture production in a city
Cathedral- Quadruples culture production in a city

Production-
Workshop- Cuts in half the price and amount of time that it takes to build a building
Factory- Cuts in half the price and amount of time that it takes to build a building after making a workshop

Defense-
Wall- Doubles Defense in your city
Great wall- Quadruples defense in your city
Tortugan Defense- Defends against Tortugan grenades

Attack-
Baracks- Doubles the attack strength of all units created after being built

Enemies-
2 types:
POF members and..
Navy

Navy- Annoying little ppl who think they can win over your island, they never win a battle

Takeover Terms
Peace Treaties- A treaty that lets you not fight with the person on the other side of the treaty
Declaration of Independence- In the beginning I own your island all you have to do is earn enough gold to buy the island from me and then you earn this
Tax- Tax rates in the carribean are decided by me but you still earn the money
Border Ticket- You make a fee for anyone who crosses your border and then they pay it to keep moving

Secret Rewards
Most rewards are awarded by inning takeover contests, but here are some that you can earn

Secret- Earn 20,000 gold
Secret- Earn 50,000 Gold
Secret- Earn 100,000 Gold
Secret- Earn 1,000,000 gold
Secret- Destroy all barbarian villages on your island
Secret- Create a military defense of 500
Secret- Collect 20 great ppl
Secret- Lose the game ( Will be explained soon )

Losing the game:
Do ya think if you lose I just throw you aside... Think again.
By losing you basically "work for me" anything I need help with on World takeover you can help get done.

Great People-
Occasinally ppl will visit your island some of them will be great ppl.
If you collect 50 Great people you win

Ways to win-
Economic Victory- Earn 1,000,000,000 gold and construct a World bank
Cultural- Earn 50 Great people and make the Brethren Court
Dominance- Make everyone else but you lose
Technological victory- Earn all the technologies and make the Plane

Now to wrap thngs up heres the rules:

1. Dont cheat
2. Dont argue ( unless you can prove a point )
3. Follow all site rules

Everything you do on here will be used with this map:




Map 1 is for making your cities and everything and Map 2 is for moving your units.

I'm interested in joining since the old one was good. I'll just need 12 hours to figure out all that!

[Swash]

Since your the first to sign up instead of giving you an island i'll let you pick your island.
Pick any island besides Tortuga.

I dont understand this but it sounds fun, if im right it looks like a race.

Its not a race, the yellow lines were from the map used in the 2nd Ironrat cup.
Its the only POTCO map I could find.

Basically all it is, is you train an army and try to wipe out everyone else.

[Juliana Maria]

I'm having a little trouble understanding.. sorry. So what exactly is this and how do you organize it? I don't understand what the horseman, knights, and such are exactly either..
i apologize.. i tend me slow understanding sometimes.. my friends hate me for it lol

[Maximvs]

To answer a few questions for you Swash:

a) Your last game had become inactive for some time - and was archived. All threads aftet a period of inactivity are archived.

b) A few things have changed since you've been gone - but here is a link to a Master Map And Guide list:

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ad.php?t=10265

And there under the Map Section you can get a fresh map (without the yellow lines).

That should get you underway.

Swash, if I could make a suggestion.
You need to tell members how to play, not whats different from last time.
Keep in mind, many here werent here then, and didnt participate last time.

[Swash]

Basically what the game is, is you start with 1 city and a squad of 3 pirate units. Each unit will have 1 attack point, all you have to do is research technologies to unlock more units, buildings, and upgrades. You use your units to attack other cities and defend your island against the navy and everyone else.

[Cannonfury]

I think there is another game that has those things in it, but POTCO doesnt have the capabilities to do those things.

Just to clarify for ya

The game isn't actually done in POTCO... Swash is the 'game master' like in a board game. Here, players post their moves / intentions / attacks each round - then Swash takes that and posts an update to the action.

For example, I would take Cuba and get my units, gold and items from Swash. I then post my moves, then Swash posts an update. I then post my next moves (etc.)

Swash, maybe an example for everyone is required?

[Swash]

Example:
Round 32

I send a Frigate loaded with a 6 squads of guard knights over to kingshead.
Profit lost: 231 for Border Ticket
Profit Gained: 12,986 City taxes
Current Build Project: Great Wall
Time left upon completion: 6 rounds

Heres an example of an attack scene:

Attacker Defender
Davil: Swash:
Guard Knights Swashes
23 attack 12 defense

Now you would think of that as Davil winning but what if this happened.....

Attacker Defender
Davil: Swash:
Guard Knights Swashes
23 attack 12 defense
G-Wall Multiplier: x4=48 defense

Winner is me!

Instead of having you use the map i'll just let you move wherever ( WITHIN REASON ) But you will still have to load land units on a boat.

oOoO!! So this isn't like an activity in the actually game? this is strictly in the forums!?

Basically RPG board like game (in the forums). Actual game play does not determine the outcome (as far as I know), not sure what Swash uses as gamemaster. Some use the roll of the dice.. hehe
