Mirage Source

I think finding the best offer. I suppose that could work. It would help take up time while you are waiting for ticks

lol sounds like players are waiter for a lil parasite to latch on to them.

but ya it would take up time.

lol I just got that. My head is slow today....

I added the artifact code. There will be a set number of artifacts in the game. Each one can be found only once. There is no way for an item to permanently disappear. Some will be found through randomness walking around and other found by being the first to achieve "hidden" combinations.

For example: The first player to build the maximum sized Arcaneum in the mountains may receive the "orb of sight".

Artifacts not only adjust player stats, but they also have the option of using scripts and hard coded functions. If the orb of sight has the function AF_Sight then the player has the ability to view enemy armies and some stats.

Artifacts can be sold on the market, given to other players, and also lost by being utterly defeated in battle.

As for the stat boost with the artifacts, players receive only the highest bonus of all possible stat gains.

For Example: You have the Water Mark Sigil which gives +2 wisdom and faster water movement. And you also have the Ember of Souls which gives +5 spirit and + 3 wisdom. Your total stat gain will only be +5 spirit and +3 wisdom.

So who's Yato, and why have we found shards of him?

tl;dr

Yato was actually an obsidian obelisk that was once worshiped by primitive desert shaman. Through a cataclysmic event that was recorded by the ancients as the "Dei' Thesa" which translates to "dying giants"; the obelisk was thought to have been lost forever.

By some fortunate or unfortunate luck(depending on where your beliefs reside); you have unearthed this enduring piece of Aein History.


Old records state that the shaman would perform sacrificial rites before The Yato to harness blessings and fortune. Though in many cases it has seemed that these blessings often concealed a darker side to them.

Note: I wouldn't be too worried about it. You are merely holding but a small shard of this once massive structure.

XD

I bet he doesn't read the new post either. It's just as long. >.>

I made that all up in spite of his comment

I don't know who or what Yato is! lol

You're right matt, but I did read his last post enough to know he lied to me! ;-;

I need a few testers before I can continue much further. I've been away from MirageSource forums for awhile.

This test version is a very rough draft. The GUI, Graphics, etc are just thrown in there so it is testable. No need to comment on the exterior part of the game. I just need to make sure players can move to and fro, and that the basic functions of the game work correctly.


*To access the market you will need to have a city and click on "markets" within the city.
*Attacking players will not kill the player, just let you know if you won or lost.
*Whoever has more soldiers will win/lose.
*There are only two maps.
*Weather, sages, monks, some buildings have no affect on the game.
*Usability is very difficult at the moment and may appear confusing.
*Ticks have been set for one minute.
*Explore mode allows you to view other maps.

After Testing:
If testing goes well then I can progress into furthering the formulas and adding new features.
Also I can organize the gui and functionality of the actual game.

I'm on testing now.

Edit: Very original game if you're in to strategic gaming and tick-/turn based gaming with alot of wait time. Even with me not being that kind of person, I enjoyed this game that was only with a few bugs

How to get around one of the bugs is to NOT double-click in the game at any time, as the game tries to open the same form twice, which of course ends with a crash.

Rebjorn and Matty, thanks for both your help. I had to shut the game down though.

Oh and don't be such a war mongrel and take all the cities!

Don't you dare mess with London or Watford. Or even my map. :O =-p

Also, I lost 300 Soldiers, I want them back. Bugged Soldier amount. >:(

Next Test:
February 25th, 1:00 P.M. EST



(At some point I want to have a Mirage Source tournament. We'll have two kingdoms. I'll let each kingdom design an island. The two kingdoms will go to war. Ticks will be 30 minutes.)

Whoo.

Mattyw, I have an idea on the destroying buildings and razing a city.

You can demolish your own buildings at a cheap cost.

But when you attack someone's city you have the choice to raze the city. When you do this, you pretty much set the city aflame. It won't be instant, so if you move on to other cities, other players have the option of reclaiming it with a loss of buildings for each tick they wait to reclaim. Also it will show up on the city info.

I was thinking it'd take time to build also. Not instant. =-p

Can't wait though. ;D

I worked on the market system a bit. You can now sell resources for less than 1 gold a piece. There might be an abundant amount of stone for sale on the market and you might wish to undercut the opponent and sell 1000 stone for .5 gold a piece. This will allow a player to buy 1000 stone for 500 gold. If you try to buy 1 resource and it is less than 1 gold a piece, it is rounded up to 1 gold. This will prevent buying resources for free at 1 gold a pop when it is posted for less than 1 gold.

If anyone is bored and want to contribute I would love some suggestions on this:

Kingdom Style
When you create a kingdom you will have a choice to chose the "style" of the kingdom. Each style will add bonuses/penalties to all the members of the kingdoms. Some ideas so far.

Imperial
Barbaric
Mystical
Nomadic
