You have stats now

[Tonberry]

[Urn]

I just had an idea on how the Battle System can be more engaging and encourage people to post more. This is not based so much on the stats that people can see under their username, but the stats that appear under their regiment usergroup.

Such as regiments attack power, leadership and etc. The battles are setup now so that soldier numbers and regiment type determines victory, but what if we could factor in attack power and leadership for times when regiments of equal type engage eachother on the battlefield.

I think this will give an interesting twist to the strategies in which people have to come up with during the battle phases. A good leader with a smaller number of soldiers could possibly defeat a much larger number of enemy soldiers. This could turn the tide of battle. I apologize if this has already been considered, but I was just bringing up an idea that came to me.

But it makes no sense, does it?

I'm in a one-on-one battle, right? How does the strength of my infantry unit help me beat another man one-on-one?

On a side note, it is always possible to beat a large number of units with just a small number of men. It's happen twice this phase, in fact. In the same battle.

I'm not referring to winning based on regiment strength, such as archers over magicians. That is not the type of smaller unit over larger unit victory I'm talking about.

I'm talking about two regiments of the same type, one with less soldiers defeating the other based on their regiments strength and leadership of the leader of the unit. That would be an interesting twist and just give something more to think about during battle because that is something which is considered in actual strategy battle.

I don't recall mentioning anything about one-on-one battles. I was referring to leadership and regiment strength in actual battles, not duels. If regiment leadership could be considered in major battles along with the strength of that regiment, then we would have more to consider than which type: Infantry, Magicians, Archers, Calvary, Rangers, Poleman, etc. has strength over one another.

We would have to factor in which user we would want to send into battle, as well because they have better leadership qualities and their regiment has more attack strength. I mean lets use those statistics since they're there anyway. It's just a suggestion.

I don't believe that's what Revolving Sphere was trying to say John Layfield, more like a regular battle. Say two units of the same regiment meet in battle... for example, two archer units with (by some stroke of luck) precisely the same number of soldiers. One might have a Regiment Attack of 1500 and a Leadership of 50, whereas the other might have a Regiment Attack of 600 and a Leadership of 36.

If you get lucky with the regiment advantage, it's definitely possible to defeat a large unit with a vastly smaller unit, but it's a one-in-four gamble.

Yes, Jeremy explained what I was alluding to very well. I'm talking about regular battles and not regiment strengths and weaknesses which I explained in my last post.

I like that idea.

[Lunarblade]

Revolving Sphere, I like that idea a lot. Hopefully it gets implemented eventually, I'm sure SARS has some ideas on how to use those stats so let's stay tuned for it.

Hmm, I thought that kind of was already implemented in, but I guess I was wrong. :?

What other purpose is their for regiment strength/leadership then??

[Lunarblade]

Well, I'm not totally sure it hasn't been implemented, but if I recall correctly none of the stats have been implemented as of yet (except in the case of duels I believe).

It will take a while before stats can be implemented into the major battles. That is more due to time-constraints. Making a script that takes care of major battles is about three times as difficult as making the duel script, and I've also had to run the site, take care of battles, and also make new content for the main site, so time is sort of scarce.

[Daniel Blackhand]

[Vextor]

That's a problem. I may need to tamper with the algorythm.

[Vextor]

Okay, I changed the algorithm for the STR stat to make sure it doesn't increase too sharply. This means a lot of people lost their STR across the board, but it's for the greater good.

[Decado]

Ouch. Bye bye about 100 points of STR! My stats do look a bit more even now though.
