A lot of people seemed to think it was a good bit of fun, seeing how it lasted longer than some other trends, so I thought I'd make something out of that.
Simply put, I've thought of a simple forum game where darkSpyro users across the forum can group up to create armies, equip themselves, and duke it out with other armies in monthly tournaments for the title of the ruling army. I aim to make it something long lasting that people can put effort into if they wish, like the "dS Survivors"-topics.
For an individual user this would include joining an army, "creating" your character (which would go by your username), setting your skills, equipping yourself, and then working with your army to participate in battles against other armies to get more money, more equipment, and to be the most badass army around.
You can personalize your army by naming it, drawing a logo for it, giving it a slogan, etc. If you're imaginative, you could even think of a backstory. Every army in the game would have their own individual page in my Google Drive. I'll also post links so that you can look at them freely.
The battles themselves would be simulated by me at home, using a set of rules which I created. I will then post full battle reports for you to look at in the game topic itself, so you can actually see the individual actions of all characters, and the outcomes of those actions.
It'll probably be another day or two until I can get the actual topic with all the links up, but I thought I'd give you a heads up so that it could potentially have players ready right away. Make sure to tell your friends about this too, if you think that they'll be interested. People from all boards are welcome, even though I can't post this on the Skylanders boards for obvious reasons. Bigger armies obviously have an advantage, so it's going to pay off to ask around for members.
Now get those recruitment topics up and get ready to do your part for your army.
(Needless to say, I'll also be taking in suggestions from you guys, if you have any.)
For equipment. I currently have a load of weapon/armor types to choose from (these will be complimented with skills regarding what your character is good at). These include:
- Daggers
- Swords
- Two-handed swords
- Axes
- Two-handed axes
- Maces
- Mauls
- Spears
- Halberds
- Staffs
- Javelins
- Bows
- Crossbows
- Bucklers
- Shields
- Large shields
- Robes
- Leather armors
- Chainmail armors
- Platemail armors
- Trinkets
I also have four quality tiers for equipment.
- Crude
- Fine
- Masterwork
- Legendary
Legendary equipment are effectively "unique" equipment. Only one of each can exist in the game at any given time. They come loaded with special rules, and usually serve as a reference towards some character in Spyro games (currently only LoS characters, but I'll make more in the future if the game stays up). They are awarded randomly as loot from large battles, and to characters that do something awesome enough to deserve wielding them. They also have set amount of battles in which you can wield them, so they'll eventually disappear (this is to prevent characters from snowballing by getting to wield godly equipment all the time).
