The deployment mod receives the deployments, then picks out the combat.

He then sends details of all the units involved in combat to you, ie; say that Greece's 1st Army was going to invade Italy, which was defended by Italy's 2nd Army:

GREEK 1st ARMY INVADING ITALY
3 tank regiments
5 infantry regiments

ITALIAN 2nd ARMY DEFENDING ITALY
5 infantry regiments
1 artillery regiment

and so on. btw, that's just examples, not the real armies!

Anyway, so all you have to do is figure out the combat, then send a report to the newspaper mod, and one to the map mod saying how much of each area has been lost, ie; if Greece routed Italy, then they may have taken 25% of Italy.

It is up to the newspaper mod to finally decide how much the area taken in the map he is given is worth.

Thanks to all those who are now co-modding, now we just need a deployments mod!

Once we have one of those, I'll send the deployments for Wednesday to him, and see how good the team does at resolving that combat.

Also, the deployments mod will have to take in the buys of this weekend(remember, 100 gold to spend!).

Finally, the deployments aren't that hard actually, just copy and paste into a file, check it's right, then copy and paste fighting armies into a PM to the combat mod(warlordmatt).

ALSO, I WANT ALL PLAYER'S VIEWS ON THIS:

SHOULD THIS WEEKEND ACTUALLY BE 250 GOLD SO THAT NATIONS CAN RECOUP LOSSES? THE BIGGER NATIONS WILL BE CURTAILED BY THE 10 ARMIES WITH 10 IN RULE, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Also, if any mod who sees deployments uses their position to attack weakened nations, because they know how weak they are and where they are at their weakest, they will have to surrender their nation.

[IceEye]

yes 250 gold gimme gimme!

BTW are those bombs buyable yet. I say we wait until next round with those.

Nemesis, How about after Warlord Matt makes the combat, he sends it to the newspaper, then the newspaper sends to me and I can put it all together, and that way I will have a better idea of what land is being taken from the newspaper article. Also, I will not play as a nation, I will just co-mod

 

[uknemesis]

Okay Jason, now if only you would accept deployments as well, then all would be sorted

Anyway, if you're going to be an impartial judge also, then I can really just get on with being a player, nothing else.

Although I will still have a say if I think someone is abusing their power.

Anyway, here is the order of mods:

Deployments received by deployments mod. They send combat specifics to combat mod.

Combat mod receives combat specifics, works out combat. Sends brief combat report to newspaper moderator.

Newspaper moderator uses the combat report to make his newspaper headlines, then sends it in a PM to the map mod.

The map mod receives the headlines, and uses them to make a new map. He posts the new map and the headlines together.

[Jason The King]

Orders sound good, Nemesis. Now only to find a deployment mod.....Maybe Warlord Matt can just take them straight from the forum for now, until we can find a mod?

 

[uknemesis]

It looks like I'll have to do the damned deployments, until someone else can.

I'll have the combat to you tonight, WarlordMatt, so you can resolve it, and pass it on to Pieter, who can then pass the headlines on to Jason.

And everyone, please vote on whether you get 250 gold or 100 gold this weekend!

If someone could start a separate poll, that would be great.

Anyway, I'll say that buys will be taken in on Tuesday, so we have time to vote, and then combat can be resolved on the Wednesday.

After that it will go back to normal timings.

Nemesis

 

[WarlordMatt]

Ok nemesis.

 

[IceEye]

all vote:
1. 100 or
2. 250 gold next turn!!!

I vote 2

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

I vote 2 as well, but could a nation with its' army maxed out somehow invest their surplus gold? Cause either way, 100 is just as useless as 250 once your armies are full anyways. Maybe be able to invest in internal projects...highways, airports, harbors, building dams, bringing electricity to the less settled parts of our nations, etc.

 

[wilboman]

Aw, hell. I'll vote 2 too.
Will the people with extra land get more?

 

[uknemesis]

Good point wilboman. I say for this turn they don't, to make it fair.

Also, any proposals for what surplus gold can be used for?

Nemesis

 

[Toasty]

Hm...Let's see...

75/100 = 0.75

0.75 X 250 =187.5 (rounded up to 190)

190 + 250 = 340!

Yup, let's go with 250

(Don't worry everyone, I'm going to need this money anyways...)

 

[Toasty]

UK, the only person who would get extra money this turn would be me, and you know for a fact my army got ripped to shreds in South Africa. I earned this money, I should get it.

 

[uknemesis]

Also France and Russia will get extra gold if their bids to take Madagascar are succesful.

Anyway, I think I'll finally agree. Anyone who has extra money will get it on top of the 250.

Nemesis

 

[Kennelly]

I go with 250 as well,my forces are almost non-existent.
How many units are allowed per Army?

 

[uknemesis]

10

 

[IceEye]

I thought only 5 units in a fleet and only 5 in a aircraft unit.

 

[wilboman]

250+190=340?
I think you mean 440, Toasty. But as far as I understand it, you're only getting the extra 75g, not any more than that...
And how come France gets a piece of Madagascar, when he never told anyone about it?! It's not fair!
Ah no, just whining. But don't you have to declare war on a person to invade his territory, even if it happens to be a non-player country. France jsut went ahead without warning anyone...
I mean, a warning is common courtesy. Imagine if my guys started attacking his guys in the confusion?

 

[WarlordMatt]

Ok I'll resolve the combat sometime tonight........that is if I can find some dice.........

 

[uknemesis]

lol Matt, you can try downloading one of the dice rolling programmes from www.download.com if you can't find any...

Good luck lol, and I have to still update those damned deployments...

Anyone want to be a deployment mod? PLEASE!!! :waah:
