Conquista (Conquer the World with your civ!)

[Cysion]

Fight for your civ and conquer the world in this first MMO adaptation for AoC. Play as if you were the new Genghis Khan and re-enact the Mongol invasions in Eastern Europe. Sign up with your friends or with total strangers for a civ and lead them to world domination. Just upload the games you played and the world will automatically evolve!

Concept

Conquer the world and make your empire rule the world till the dawn of time! Fight other players in a match of Age of Empires II and tilt the scales for your civilisation!

Basics

Every player picks 1 civilisation, he or she will fight with this civilisation till the round is over. Either by conquering the world or by being completely wiped off the map. You can conquer territories by challenging other players to game of AoC. However, you can only attack the territories you’re bordering, so no jumping around the map, looking for the easiest match-ups. Once a fight is over, the territory of the losing player loses 1 army (each territory starts off with 3 armies). Once a territory drops to 0 armies, the territory will be conquered by the last player that attacked the territory. He or she will now be able to attack from this newly gained territory which will automatically have 3 fresh armies.

World Map

The world map consists of 77 territories. Every civ will start off with 4 territories, except the Franks, Saracens, Koreans, Turks and Britons. They will receive 5 territories each.

The coloured territories are the starting bases of each civ. The others will be coloured in at random when the game starts till no white zones are left. (current map: here)

How to fight?

Let’s describe a situation. I am playing with the Mongols and I invade China. I am challenging the Chinese player so I’m the attacker and he’s the defender. As I am invading his homeland, he must pick the map the game is played on. Every territory has 3 possible maps to choose from. For China this is Mongolia, Gold Rush or Palisade Arena.

If the game is over, one of us uploads the game (it doesn’t matter who, duplicate games will automatically be rejected). If I lost the game, I will lose 1 army on Mongolia. If I win, the Chinese player will lose 1 army in China. If that means that one of the territories has 0 armies left, the territory will be taken by the victor.

Sounds exciting, how to sign up?!

Here!

Signing up is done by stating which civ you want to play in the comment box underneath the page linked above. You can only pick your civ once, so pick a civ you like to play. Mind though that maps are very balanced so if you want to pick Huns to dominate Arabia, think twice, because only 14 territories have Arabia as an option! (Which is still above average)


Start the game already?!

Conquista will start once we have a good amount of players. So sign up already! The good thing is that there is no obligation to play at all. You are not forced to take a challenge even though it’s encouraged. There’s no prizes either, so sign up with your friends on different civs and just batter your way around the world. Any player of any level can sign up.

I understood, sick idea = positive feedback.

Really nice Cysion! But what if the challenged player refuse to play?

 

[_Ares_]

I'll beat Karl to it in saying that StorM organized something like this back in 2003 or 2004, and that was a revival of something they had done long before that :P

 

[Osiris]

Well, noone is forced to play. But I'd like to stress that this is solely for fun and would like to rely on common sense, rather than on strict rules. If you're a 18xx voobly player and are wandering around on gameranger, picking off the 12xx players that are playing, then I totally understand the 12xx players refuse to play.

I will probably make a subforum at aocbox where you can issue challenges (in case you can't find players spontaneously). If I see that noone of the attacked civ takes the challenge, I might give an auto-victory. I'll definitely be the omniscient dictator in all of this, redrawing the world map at my wishes :twisted:

 

[BuzZ_Quiller]

Nice, hope I can defend my home country with vikings :lol:
Especially like that the maps you must pick suits whatever part of the world you fight in!

The only "idea" I got from civcup was to let players sign up for just 1 civ. Most of the other ideas came after playing AoEO (Age of Empires Online), from World War II Online and from long brainstorming chats with MrDanish177.

As you might recall, I answered in that topic too, I uploaded a worldmap with territories and all the ideas I had at that point. I was happy to find out that you guys were having a similar idea so I threw in the thoughts I had so far. You never uploaded your own map to civcup forums so I could most definitely "steal" that from you. It's not because I shared my ideas with you guys that you own them after that...


I talked to Ed (Osiris/Pepsi/owner of civcup) all night 2 days ago and he was nothing but positive about it.
