I introduce to you a game called Battlemech, a turn-based game in which you have to blast your enemies to ribbons (no duh). It has two modes:

Mission Mode
Arena Mode


In Mission Mode, you go through a specific mission on the mission list, sort of like in Armored Core 2. It will usually move through a specific campaign such as a plot to stop an invasion or to take the enemy capital and stuff like that. If a mission doesn't go through a campaign, it's usually just to stop a crime of some sort or hunt down a smuggler and stuff like that. A mission is indicated as part of a campaign if there is the word "Plot" before it. For example:

Mission List:

Plot - Troop Barracks destruction
Plot - Fuel Bunker protection
Non Plot - Smuggler Hunt

In addition, if multiple campaigns are in effect, some will be labeled as "Plot 2" or even "Plot 3" at that.

In Arena Mode, the setup is kind of like WWF in the sense that we're using 2v3 matches and stuff as well as the average 1v1 or 2v2 match. You can challenge NPCs to matches as well as other players.

Pilots start with 500 credits and a Standard Armor/Chassis and Rifle. When buying stuff, you'll need to know what's what when viewing statistics.

AP= Armor points, the amount of punishment your battlemech can take.

Mo= Mobility Score, the number your opponent needs to beat to hit you for damage.

AB= Attack Bonus, the bonus you get to your attack when trying to hit an enemy. To hit an enemy, first roll a D20 (if needed, use JYAP's dice roller (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm)) and add your attack bonus to it. If it beats your opponent's mobility score, then the attack hits and you deal damage. Rolling a 20 always hits and rolling a 1 always misses.

D= Damage, the damage done by your weapon.

RF= Rapid Fire, the amount of attacks you can make with a weapon. If it is 1, you fire only one shot with it in this attack. If RF is 3, you fire three shots in one attack. Each shot has an equal chance of missing, so if you hit with one shot, there's no guaruntee that you will hit with the next shot. If RF is 0.5, you will have to wait one turn before firing the weapon again.

Spread= Indicates whether a weapon's fire has the capability of spreading so it hits everyone. If this is the case, it also has good Rapid Fire. With this good RF, you also get to choose which attack goes to who instead of having all the RF attacks go to one target. For example, if using a Plasma Thrower, you can direct all 8 attacks against different targets.

Useful thingies:

Accuracy Improver I - I noticed a major problem in Mobility Scores - they were so high, and AB bonuses don't improve like they do in NWN. So I added this thingy. The Accuracy improver gives you a +10 AB Bonus for 3 turns. 200 credits.
Repair I - Repairs 10 Armor points. 300 credits.
Sludge - Reduces an opponent's Mo points by 3 for 1 turn. 500 Credits.
Cloaking Device - Makes you unable to be attacked for 1 turn. 650 credits.
Accuracy Improver II - Gives you a +15 AB Bonus for 6 turns. 800 Credits

Have anything to reccomend? Send me a PM with your item idea and I'll try to make some improvements (if needed) before putting them in. Please do not send me stuff like "THE PERFICT ARMOUR" with 1000000000 AP and 20000 Mo that costs 2 Credits. I will consider that stuff spam.

I will be improving upon both lists and will be adding Sidearms and Melee weapons later.

Will do. Shadowcat and Vulture are on their way, but one thing you're not getting is that this isn't a Battletech game.

3 out of 6 Battletech slots used.

Update'd! Today, we're adding useful thingies as well as Plasma weapons. I only need to add the Misc. weapons list, the sidearms list, and the melee weapons list, and then the game can start.

I also introduced a new concept - spread. See details in shop dictionary.

Almuric
04-01-2006, 05:27 PM
