CR: Some important numbers

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 We have been figuring out appropriate numbers for the combat rating on battles in the new camp war system. NOTE THAT THE FIGURES BELOW MAY CHANGE AS WE FIRM UP THE BALANCING Each game 'turn' will be two weeks. Each camp will be allowed to deploy CR to tiles that they control or that border on tiles that they control. The total CR they will get to deploy is:  ((camp fame + strategy points) * 10)  Strategy points are gathered from tiles. This total CR has to be spread between all the tiles they wish to attack or defend. However, effective CR will be less than deployed CR for tiles that are more than 1 tile away from the camp's home tile. The effective CR drops for each tile traversed according to a multiplier based on the tile's Travel rating (so roads are easy to attack along, while hills without roads are difficult). The CR multiplier for each tile travelled through is 0.97-((100-Travel)*0.0012) This gives a value of 0.97 for roads with Travel values of 100, down to  0.868 for dunes/hills with Travel values of 15. I'll update the hexmap to perform this calculation on each tile. Mountains (=Travel value 0) have a special rule: you can attack them but can't attack through them to another tile. (Unless you discover mutant elephants). Clarification: if a tile you own gets cut off from your camp, it reverts to neutral. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 1:42 pm Last edited Apr 17, 2020, 4:45 pm by *sam*

No. (It will be per 2-weeks, but the way, at least to start with). Quote: Is there a minimum CR needed to launch an attack or defense? Hmm. Not sure.. perhaps, but it can be very low e.g. 100. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 3:56 pm

Is it like Risk and you have to leave a ganger to maintain control of it? There's no need to leave any defense in a tile to retain control. You'll lose it without a combat if someone attacks it, of course. But since others can only attack tiles beside theirs, you'll see it coming. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 3:59 pm

No. You don't have to assign CR to any hexes you don't want to - e.g. some can't be attacked because there' no opponent beside them. And assigning CR doesn't mean assigning cars/crew. You only assign them if there's a battle. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 5:42 pm

Only a select few players can afford to even bid on sponsorships. To keep the camp wars as fair as possible, I don't think the purchased Fame should count towards Camp Wars. All fame will count, for now. There's already checks in place to stop a camp dominating - notably, the distance-based drop-off of CR effectiveness. The goal isn't so much to create an even playing field, as to force a soft-cap to stop a camp becoming untouchable. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 5:43 pm Last edited Apr 17, 2020, 5:47 pm by *sam*

Unoccupied tiles are taken without a combat. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2020, 5:44 pm Last edited Apr 17, 2020, 5:48 pm by *sam*
