This one should be a whole lot better than my last two. :)

Rules
1 NES year = 5 days(Mon. - Fri.) Over the weekends, no posts will be made while I decide battles, etc. BE REALISTIC. That means no declaring war on others for a reason such as, "they are next to me," or because of "power". (Hear that AnarchyRulz? :D ) Diplomacy is as it is in all the other NES's.
This is a fantasy NES, and some of the civs you may recognize from Warcraft, LOTR, etc. But everything else I made up. The game starts at 1 BT(Beginning of Time). The map is divided into Territories on each continent. There are 4 continents(A, B, C, D) and 1 small island and each territory has a number. So, the first territory on continent A would be called A1, then comes A2 and so on and so forth. You start out with your capital territory, which doesn't have a number, and you start out with 50 gold. You may choose to purchase ground units(gold cost varies by unit) or a warship(the universal naval unit) Ground units may move 1 territory per turn. To own a territory, you must first move a ground unit into an unclaimed and unoccupied territory Then, next turn, you may purchase the territory for 10 gold. For every territory you own, you get 10 gold per turn(gpt), and you also get 10 gpt for your capital. Each territory has an immovable militia to defend against enemy units, and their defense is 3.(the capital's militia has a defense of 4). If the capital of a civ is captured, yet the civ has some territories left, it still exists, yet the militia's defense is now 2 and they get 5 less gpt than they usually would. If a friendly unit occupies a territory which is being attacked by an enemy unit, the friendly unit will defend, yet if the friendly unit dies the militia will have to fight.
As of warships, ships are mainly used to transport units to different continents. Ships can carry one unit at a time. The black lines connenting the continents on the map are routes the ship can take while transporting units. A unit must be on a territory where a route connects, but that's it. Once a unit uloads onto the territory at the other side of the route, it must fight the militia. You can choose to fortify the ship on the coast(it is vunreble to attack) or send it back to your continent. Naval combat takes place if a fortified ship is attacked, or if two enemy ships are traveling the same route the same turn. In this kind of naval battle, the winner continues along the route and the loser and its cargo(unit) die.
Remember to PM me your orders, and here is an example:

I have 70 gold this turn.

I spend 50 gold on 2 warships in Territory C35.
I spend 30 gold on 2 pikemen in my Capital.

I load 2 pikemen in my Capital onto 2 warships to attack Territory B5 via Route 8.

I move 1 knight in Territory C28 to Territory C27.

I attack the Dark Elf warship fortified on my coast with a warship.

I move 1 pikeman in Territory C19 to Territory C12 to claim it next turn.

Resources
There are resources in this NES, a first, I think.
See those brown and light-gray colored boxes in some territories on the map? Those are resources. The brown boxes are horses, and the light-gray is iron. If you claim a territory with a resource in it, you gain access to it. If you have extra resources, you may trade them to other civs via diplomacy posts on the thread. You will need resources to build certain units.

Wizards
Wizards are special units that every civ can build. They cost 20 gold and can only travel if they are added to a unit in the territory the wizard is built in. Wizards greatly increase their unit's chances of winning a battle. They require no resources.

Civilizations
There are only six, so the game is easier.

High Elves (teal)
Leader: Feanor (curufinwe)

Wood Elves (brown)

Important Note: The game starts Monday. If I don't have 6 players by then, we'll have to wait till the Monday after that for six people to join.

Enjoy this NES!!

I will join as the Dark Elves.

I will join as the humans

Ill be the terrifying Orcs.

Okay. Leadernames, please? ;)

I didnt know Orcs had names..... But okay, my name will be Billy-Bob Orcsson. Yea, you heard me.

Oh, and what are the stats fo warships, and what do i need to build it. I assume it costs 25 gold?

Oh yeah. I forgot to put the stats of warships. :rolleyes:

Universal Naval Unit:

Warship
A:3 D:3
Resources: None
Cost: 25 gold
NOTE: Can ONLY be built on coastal territories.

I will be the Dark Knight, ruler of the Dark Elves

I will be Yoshimitsu (Yo-she-mit-su) of the Humans

Alright, then. Now we just need THREE MORE PLAYERS by MONDAY!

I will be leader of the High elves, And Curufinwe was a leader of the high elves in Tolkien at a time (also known as Feanor, a master smith)

Just call me Feanor for it i guess.

I will be the High and Mighty Zordon of The Wood Elves

Just one more, not bad.

I have a neighbour who was given specific orders not to attack his neighbours, not good. But i'll keep up.

Okay everyone. All we need is someone for the DEMON EMPIRE!

Baal will rule the Demon Empire.

Good, we have all the groups, and we shall start soon. Excellent.

It is now MONDAY, and you all may now start PMing me orders (remember to do it in the fashion I said) and have diplomacy with other civs (make alliances, etc.).

Important Note: UNITS will be represented as small white dots on the map.

ooc: WarlordMatt, can we start with 100 gold instead? cause 50 isn't enough to do anything

bah 100 is to much. 50 is enough :D (yes, i am only saying this because i have the cheapest units.) :p

The Demons will kill everybody and bring them to our master in hell if they don't work together with us here in the living world.

To:Humans or High elves (which is on my continent?)

I propose we divide the continent between us.

To:Orks and Dark elves

Lets join a pact to destroy all these who believe in the force of good.

To: The Demons and Dark Elves
From: Billy-Bob Orcsson, the Orc
Aye, an axis-of-evil would suit us nicely....

To: The Demonic Lords

Me thinks the Orcish Hordes should swarm the Human Empire and kill every living soul in there. Demons should assist. The souls will be yours for the taking. Orc declare war in Human. Orcish Hordes swarm soon. Dark Elves to far away to be useful in this.

To:Orcs
From:Demons

I agree.War is what I say.We will exterminate the Humans and give their doomed souls to our master.

Wood Elves:
From: High Elves of Formenos
We must fortify our lands against any potential threat, I believe you should aid the Humans and allow them to found a few territories in our continent, so they shall be safe. You are strong on the defense, so must defend things. Be prepared for war, especially from the rising axis of evil I see.

Dark Elves
From the High of Elves of Formenos
The Elves should all ally. If so we'd be a difficult foe to stop, add in the humans and peace and prosperity will rule. I beg of you to ally with me, and the Wood Elves if they will. But For now I must grow and fortify. Formenos shan't Fall.

To: the Good Guys

Bah, humbug. You can take your goody-to-shoes elves and shove em... The Dark Elves are EVIL and naturally they would want to be part of the AXIS-OF-EVIL! I shall personally enjoy razing the High Elve Capital. In times of good, people, we must all remember that evil will persevere. Their Holy Alliance will fall as they will turn to bickering and internal powerstruggels. The Un-holy Axis-of-Evil, on the other hand, is already filled with hate, greed and we are just plain mean. To prove my point i have sent you the left ear of every Orc in my lands.

To the Enemies
From Feanor of Formenos
Moriquendi (More-black or dark, quendi-elves) are elven as always and should choose between their relatives or their name. Blood is thicker than bread and water. The name means nothing to their allegiance. Choose quickly or doom shall come toall.

And the name of the High Elven Capital is Formenos, Formen-north, os-fortress. All i ask is peace.

To all:
We must never struggle for power, things must be made so that all prosper. The Orquian Continent is full of iron that they can trade to all, as is the Islandof the Moriquendi (dark elves, remember for I'll quickly start saying only Moriquendi) We must all agree, I am more than willing to sacrifice provinces for the sake of peace in the future, but will not allow extortion.

From:Demon Empire

There will be trade with Wood+High Elves slaves,human body parts (my Chaotic Warriors love human hearts and brains) and the stones of Formenos ruins.

The Demon and I agree. There can be no peace with the puny and pathetic Elves (Dark Elves excluded ofcource, they ARE evil after all). The Humans shall taste Orcish steel and Demonic Hell. The Black Orcs will lay waste to your cities.

Pride comes before the fall.

And fall comes before death, in wich I and The Demon rule....

The allegiance of the dark elves is yet to be decided, yet you state that they are guranteed to assist you. Show me your proof, or at least let the Dark Elves state it themselves.

Demons and orcs might fall.

OOC: ONLY ENGLISH ON THE BOARDS!!! :p /OOC

Now, where was I..... Ah yes, if you are foolish enough to believe that the Dark Elves will asisst you, then go ahead. It will only speed up your destruction.

Evil is everywhere...

Fine, what I said was demon's and orcs might fall, and the dark elves and wood elves have yet to decide sides, so let us leave this for a time.

Blaarg blubberiblu blublub gromtak...

Orcish for: yea yea, whatever...

We, the Wood Elves, shall not choose a side. We shall trade Iron to all who want it. But to anyone who desides to attack us, we are the strongest defenders in the planet. We Wood Elves want peace between humans, elves, and demons alike!

Only if you have iron, if not you defense is 2.

I'd like to choose neutrality, but I'd like to make the equivalent of a Mutual Protection Pact with the wood elves and Humans.

yeah, I figured us Wood Elves would get Iron fast. Anyway,I accept your MMP with you curufinwe

Good, may we stay friends for a long time.

AHHH! Too many Nations rambleing on and on about who I will side with. Yes we are evil, but we are also Elves! We I will send a private message to the Wood Elves, or the Orcs. But until then we are neutral.

To: Curufinwe
From: Yoshimitsu
As you know our nations are under pressure from the Axis of Evil.
We must build together and strengthen our nations. We propose an MPP with you and the Wood Elves.

The MPP has been proposed, and thus you agree, but the wood elves I'm not so sure of.

To Yoshimitsu:

The WoodElves will join you MPP.

LOL, 48 posts already??! LOL!

AnarcyRulz, I need your orders before Saturday if I am gonna update the map over the weekend. ;)

Example of Purchasing Land in an Order PM:

I have 1 Chaotic Warrior in C13, so I pay 10 gold to claim it.

If you have any units in unclaimed land next turn, you may use this type of order.

Darke Elve, be not afraid to show your true color. Those High and Wood Elves will only use you to fight Evil. What will happen after the Orcs and the Demons are banished to Hell? You will be the only Evil nation on earth. Then they will all gather up on you. Join us, Join Evil...

Dark Elves, I am fine if you go to the other side, for I am willing to let you do what you wish. I only say that I shall most certainly not declare war on anyone unless they assail a friend, and thus you can percieve yourself safe from me. I also say this, what will happen when good is overcome (if that is, but I see that it could very easily) you might be ganged up on, but then again maybe not. So I leave it to you to decide, and put no pressure on you to join me.

yes... we dont want you to feel any pressure, Dark... BUT IF YOU DONT JOIN US THE WORLD WILL END!!!!!!!

..

The Woodelves dont care if your evil. We just wish for a LAND OF THE ELVES. Our two islands can become one! Imagine, free borders. That little Island, which we call "Elfland" can be split into sections. We just want peace.....

I agree entirely with them.

I would like to propose a MPP with the Dark Elves.

We accept

So the Humans, the High Elves, the Wood Elves, and the Dark Elves are allied, and the Orcs and Demons are allied. Hmm, we have allies already at 1 BT? Wow. This NES is progressing nicely. Keep postin'! :)

To: Demons
From: Orc Horde
Seems that Darke Elves have been blinded by light. After we take care of Humans on you island, they shall be punished. Me thinks we should eat their flesh.

To:Orcs
From:Demons

They are so silly.Obviously the Dark Elves are not evil enough to side with the winner side,so they will be exterminated.We want their brains and inner organs!

To:Dark Elves
From:Demons

I suggest you prepare lots of barbecue sauce for our hungry warriors.

To: Curufinwe
From: The Dark Knight
I don't know how much longer my people will hold up against evil. Every day more and morpeople shout that the Dark Elves should side with the Axis-of-Evil. Even I am struggling against it. In awhile we will become totally Evil, and nothing will stop that. The only thing that can stop it, is destroying us. If you wish you may destroy us, but we will probably have been destroyed by the orcs and demons. Again, I don't know how long it will take for my people to turn to evil.

To: Billy-Bob Orcson
From: The Dark Knight
Do not destroy us. My people are chanting of joining your side. In about 5 years, estimaters have said, my people will become totally evil. But no one knows when we will turn to your side and join it.

OOC: I am ONLY posting this because I want to test my theory on how to post savegames. If it works, then NOBODY download it please!! /OOC

To:Orcs
From:Demons

Through evil methods the infomation of the Dark Elves leader has been confirmed.The Dark Elves will get totally evil in five years and there is big unrest in the population about the Elves alliance.I suggest we spare them for the next five years and then decide what to do with them.
Long live the Axis of Evil!

To: Demons
From: Orcs
Bah, humbug. I was born evil. We will however postpone our savage hordes for 5 years. If they are not evil by then, we shall unleash hell. (so you can devoure their souls, etc...)

If you can not resist temptation then switch now, if you gain happiness it will be better in the long run.

ooc: I am on vacation right now and wont be back until next saturday. hafta go now.

See ya then, Wanderer.

REMINDER: NO POSTING during the weekend. If you have a question during the weekend, PM me.

It is Monday, so u all may post again! I will update the map next week because no territories were claimed last week (well, u couldn't claim territories last week :D ) so there was nothing to update.

To:Orcs
From:Demons

My armies begin marching to Humans capital.I hope yours do as well.
Long live the Axis of Evil.

AnarchyRulz-I need your orders from last week or else you'll be removed!!

Everyone else-I am now taking orders. As a note, you CANNOT move units in land you have just purchased. Remeber what I said about how to purchase land.

Do you mean i.e. when I purchase C16 now as said in 1st turn I can't move the unit there which underlaid my claims in Turn 1?

Woops, double post. :crazyeye:

Right. But you can purchase and move new units in your new territory.

I quit this NES

i'll take over for AnarchyRulz then.

its the wood elves right?

warlordmatt i will send the orders for turn 1 in the next hour.

call me......dont know yet, will send with orders.

RoddyVR

Sorry to see ya go, Anarchy.

Welcome to FANNES, Roddy!!

I am OakSeed of the Wood Elves, the High and Mighty Zordon has decided to spend his days away for the hectics of poly-ticks, and i have (a little too eagerly) stepped in as the leader of the Wood Elves.

i will honor all agreements that the Mighty Zordon has made



edit : /ooc just do me a favor, all, and forward any PMs that you've had with him to me

warlordMatt do we get to know where who's units are during turn 2? or is that a secret till the territories are claimed? /ooc

To:OakSeed
From:Baal

As the cowardly Zordon has stolen away I give you a warm welcome and once again promises you we will destroy your people and eat their hearts and brains.

LOL@Kennelly

@Roddy: On the updated map that I will post over the weekend, it will show the postions of every unit by representing them as tiny dots or squares on the map. But you won't be able to tell what kind of unit it is unless it's yours. ;)

@Everyone: Please get me your orders in by Friday so we can go on to 3 BT!

TO EVERYONE EXEPT RODDY AND KENNELLY: PLEASE GET ME YOUR ORDERS IN BY THE END OF FRIDAY!!!

Hello??? WHERE IS EVERYONE??!!

Sorry warlordamtt, I've had things to do the past few days, orders coming asap.

/ooc oh, come on all(or some, as the case may be), how long can it take to put together 4 lines of text with your orders.

i had thought the first few turns should be made shorter then a week cause with no fighting yet there isnt much to decide, but i guess you guys are much busier then i am.
and it aint like you are all away from computers, on vacation or anything. :cool:
2 of you posted yesterday, and one the day before, so we know you guys are around :) , so come on! :whipped:
/ooc

Yes I agree. WHERE IS .:KNAS:., DARK WANDERER, AND CIVANATOR???!!!

:KNAS I know about,he's on vacation (said it in UKNES 2)

Civanator and D.W. have posted till Sunday,have you pmed them?

I am back from my vacation and will be issuing orders immediatley.

so who is still left? :confused:
i have the orders for bt3 ready (they are due tomorow) but i would realy like to see how the map looks after bt 2 before i submit em.:D

We need orders from everyone (maybe exept KNAS) before I can update the map. I only need Civanator's and D. W.'s orders right now.
IMPORTANT: I AM LEAVING FOR A 2 WEEK VACATION ON SUNDAY. DURING THAT TIME, THE NES WILL BE TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN UNTIL I COME BACK UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO BE A SUBSTITUTE MOD.

General Orcish Evil Statement: Ill be back wednesday, at the latest. *Insert Evil Rambling, destroy world etc..*....

Any chance I could join and be a diferent Civ, like the mages or something?:confused:

if i understand this right then right now this game has come to ascreeching halt.
i think everyone submited orders for BT 1.
just unit movements there, so no new map.

civinator, dark wanderer and Knas all seem to have been away for the last week (if not more). so have not turned in orders for BT 2 (which were due friday the 12th if i aint mistaken).
since WarlordMatt cant make the map for post BT2, turn 3 is some what halted too (i havent turned mine in, dont know if anyone else has).

but now WarlordMatt is on vacation for 2 weeks, so this is gonna get stalled even more..... though for the beggining we proly aint gonna have any battles (maybe :confused: ) so we could do turns 2 and 3 while matt is on vacation, IF EVERYONE ELSE COMES BACK. sort of like a till first blood thing ;) warlordmatt, you wouldnt mind right?

oh BTW WarlordMatt, in case you come by the forum while on vacation, i have some rule questions.
if two players agree that ones unit can walk throug another players territory, is that allowed?
or even more, can units of two 'allied' nations be in the same territory?
can we 'trade'/sell territories?

so matt is still on vacation, but is everyone else back?
i havent seen D.W. around. any suggestions one how we could do turn 2 and 3 (and 4?) while matt is away?

i KNOW all of us, except matt, are back here now. even though i am as busy as i can make my self with UKNES3, i would like to get this game going.

I'm back. :satan:

Matt. i assume (hope) we are continuing this game now.
last thing we had was, turn 1 is done, do you have all orders for turn 2 now?

I have no orders.

ok... then we picking up with turn 2 all over again?

I think this NES is sadly in ruin, so I think we'll have to quit this one out and move on to better things, like UKNES 3. :)

well, ok.

It's just that I can't say that anyone besides us two want to continue this game. Maybe we could join Jason the King's new fantasy NES when it comes out. (see related thread on forum)
