[Lavian]

Yeah it involved Anaei being a peacelover naga faction who pleaded against my expedition forces to spare her pathetic wretched race. Then she tried to warn Mikasa's orc village[Which looked really amazing by the way] to help her. Only for me to land a marshall and some rifleman to force by words sway the orcs mind..We all leave in peace then I sent the battleships onto her base and Mika rolled up and shot down my ships as I deployed my foot units inside. Didn't get to do much from there though due to time.

[Gunnell]

Does anyone know a store in the UK that sells it?

HMV or GAME. The former enjoys stocking fairly old PC games, but GAME tends to lack TFT alot of the time.

[Jomir]

Thanks, Graham. I'll have a look tomorrow

[Lavian]

Pick me up a copy of Band of Brothers while you're at it. I want that set. <_<

[Ehrfürchtige Bennedict]

Daww... I feel all fuzzy and warm at heart right now, playing WCIII: Reign of chaos.

Awesome lore

[Gesh]

I might try a nelf village next time.

[Magaskawee/Anaei]

Alright. Time for some little rules and regulations now everyone is aquainted.

ZEE RULES

Races;

Races permitted for Rp to begin with* are:
-Humans -Harpy
-Orcs -Night Elves
-Dwarves -High/Blood Elves
-Naga -Trolls
-Tauren -Forsaken

*When I say begin with, the following can be 'summoned' or worked into you via corruption;

-Demons
-Scourge (This cannot be done as Forsaken, obviously)
-Elementals (As a faction of their own, obviously Naga/Human Mages can use summoned.)
-Old God/Demi-God

Heros;

A faction can play host to a total of five heros, the issue here is 'levels'. The following are the ranks of heroes, how many of that rank you are allowed and the assigned levels;

-Primary(King, Queen, General etc.), Allowed Amount: 1. Max Lvl: 15.
-Secondary(Lieutenants, Consorts, Right Hands etc.), Allowed Amount: 2. Max Lvl: 10
-Tertiary(Ambassador, Random Hero, Prince.), Allowed Amount: 3. Max Lvl: 5

You'll find that your leader remains in your capital under guard and is rarely used in combat, as it would be with a real King etc. Your business will be mostly handled by the Secondary Heroes whilst your 'other' rp, such as rping a totally different character unaffiliated with your Faction would be done through Tertiary.

Armies;

In a game where you can spawn an unlimited amount of units, we have to be reasonable. As we saw when we got a bit 'over trigger happy' in our tutorial games it's a bit silly with so many. So I have to ask, be realistic. If you are going to war, you don't need a billion footman. Maybe 12 footman, 4 priests, 6 knights and 4 sorceresses would do. If I feel you are being unrealistic i'll ask you to remove some units. You know you have too many when you look at one and say, 'what's he for?' Every unit spawned should have a purpose.

Themes;

The current theme we will be going with will be 'Expedition'.

During recent seissmic activity several plateaus have risen out of the sea, whilst others have sunk. Dwarven expeditionists reported back to Ironforge that there were rich minerals in this risen land and bountiful livestock. With the information being leaked to all races, the competition is on to see who can establish a foothold in this new region. However, with the Alliance and Horde battling it out for control over a land not known to them, what natives lurk in the forests and seas, unhappy about these new invaders.

Chose your side, Expeditionist or Native. The fight is on.

Diplomacy;

Whilst we are in a world where the Alliance and Horde excist, these islands should be treated like America was during the 1600s. Information would take -ages- to get back to the mainland. Meaning that the orcish encampments may make a truce with the humans to remove the natives. Or perhaps the humans may destroy a dwarven encampment knowing they can blame it on the horde or the natives.

Building;

At the beginning of each match I will set a twenty minute timer. In this time, you must prepare your starting base, remember that we have just landed. So your base will become larger over time. However, after twenty minutes you MUST be able to rp and interact to whomever comes knocking. YOu may continue building whilst, as someone may not really take an interest 'yet' but with so many players, we'll have to get the ball rolling. And try to keep up with the text, if it gets so unbearable, you can take it to whispers, unlikely it would get that chaotic.

'Baddies, Events and Narration.

I want to attempt to found a sort of 'dungeon master' kind of feel. In other words, I may suddenly bring up a narrator who announces a massive change, perhaps a forest fire that completely levels the neighbouring woods. Or a sudden oceanic shift that has caused a surge of makura to surface and attack coastal towns. Keeping the feel of an active world going.

This will also go for a special part of the map called 'the arena'. This is NOT to be used as it will be the stage for special events.

I think that's about it!

[Ehrfürchtige Bennedict]

Ossum, now I -have- to get TFT.
