Induced_Horizon Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I have been working on a project and was thinking it would be a good system for clan activity in the future . Trying to get this project done by the time H-Hour come out . Basically my project is an Event planning system where clans will have a place to set up battles with other Known Friendly clans . There is a Game board that goes along with it . I call it American Domination . Clans will compete to own states with the goal to own every state in the US To achieve American Domination . It is a never ending Battle system because even if you own all states you still have to fight to keep the states with other clans still challenging you for he states you own . You can never be kicked out either . If you happen to loose all your properties you can still challenge for more . I built this system to be 95% self Automated . Basically the only time Admin would have to do anything is if there is a contested battle report . Otherwise all the Earned XP and win/loss stats self Generate along with the Map that self edits based on who owns the states and if a state has been challenged or not . With this Project I plan to add a Social Network system (not a forum) kind of like a facebook for gamers . Also Plan to add pages for Clans to add their members and have a full Stat rundown on their gaming history along with Other Stats ... I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in helping with Suggestions to make this project better and or even help out in other ways . Like mentioned before I would like to get the running by the time H-Hour comes out so there is a bit of time to work on this yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Curious about a scenario. Let's say there are 10,000 clans signed up for battle. 1 of those clans owns all states. Would that mean either they will end up having 9,999 battle requests (potentially) or could just not battle anyone and maintain domination? Or am I not understanding how states come into play with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induced_Horizon Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nope . They could only have up to 50 .. states are set to where once it is challenged it comes off the list . Can not be challenged again till the battle is done . On another note ... This system is going to be an invite only . Only known friendly clans will be able to participate. I don't want this system to turn in to something like game battles with glitch and cheating clans dominating things ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 So only the latest winner of the state challenge is the owner of the state? I think it should be XP per state based. So if a clan has 50 wins for that state, even if they've been beat by someone who only has 10 wins on that state, they're still champions of that state.

Induced_Horizon Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ya got to think of this more like King of the Mountain (like we played as children ) Say you Own a state like Missouri ... and I wanted to get Missouri from you I would challenge you for that State (Missouri) You will be fighting to Keep the state and I would try to get it from you ... If you win , you keep the State along with the XP involved . Loser will still get XP for the battle , but less than the overall winner But if I win the state from you then I get the state ownership along with the XP involved . You will still earn XP for Participation . If you lose a state , you can always re challenge to try to win that state back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induced_Horizon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I will make a little Video Tutorial later this weekend to give you an Idea of how it runs .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 So 'winning' a state is regardless of XP, but purely dependent on beating the current owner? So a clan of 1xp could beat a clan of 100,000XP and own the state? What if it's just a fluke? Are you relying on subsequent battles bringing that out? What if they choose not to battle anymore?

Induced_Horizon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 There is no Not Choosing to battle .. if you get Challenged , you either Fight or Surrender . If you Surrender you are giving up the property to the challenger . Winning and keeping property is based on Skill not XP .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think Andy is seeing it from the eye of an RTS type game. To where this is really more like Risk, but on a simpler scale, out goes the pieces and resource management, replaced by a clan war. It's when the state or lose it. I imagine the idea is to own as many states as possible, and that in itself is the prize. 25 possible battles going on at once. Is there a "cool down" timer for a state after its been challenged? I think with out that, it would be difficult to really conquer the board as you are mired down in the defense of the states you have won. It would also lend to some strategy in the decision. Also, is there a limit to what states can be challenged? Say I had won the south east from Florida to the Carolinas and out to Mississippi and Tennessee, Could a one challenge me for Florida? Or is it limited to fronting states? I could see deals being made to allow other clans to attack through your state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say I had won the south east from Florida to the Carolinas and out to Mississippi and Tennessee, Could a one challenge me for Florida? Or is it limited to fronting states? I could see deals being made to allow other clans to attack through your state. Yes Someone could . Because when a new clan get invited to the games they will Own 0 States 100to one odds the first state they shoot for is the leader of the clans home state and the work out from there . .. and if you think of this kind of like Far Cry 3 when you were driving around the map taking over those strongholds , you didn't always start from one side of the map and work your way to the other . some of them you took out during other game play and had to go back to ones you missed . Basically if you own 15 states you have 15 chances of being challenged . The good side to this system is when you get challenged you can set the date of when the battle takes place (within a reasonable amount of time ) it doesn't have to be the day the challenge was made . I set up a Chat system for the Challenger and Defender to hammer out the Details of the battles . The only other person with access to the battle chat would be Admin and hopefully Ref's that might want to help me out in the future . It would be really hard to Actually achieve American Domination without having a Really Big Clan once there are 5 or more Active Clans using this system .

Induced_Horizon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I actually need to set up the Clan Page system before I can make a tutorial though ... I plan to make it where a clan can add an Image they create as the image that will display in the states they own . once I get that done I will make a tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought since it was an invite only, it would be a closed tournament. meaning there are a set number of players, and then let the games begin.

Induced_Horizon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well that is where I need help and ideas ... I don't know how people like things ... If that is a common way to do things the that is the way it should be ... I personally would like to keep this 10 clans or less .... that way it doesn't get to busy ... I plan to run other events on my site as well hence the name Events Horizon ... Was thinking of a ladder war system and other ideas ... still restricted to 10 clans or less. American Domination is just the event I have been working on at this point ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Next question. If a Canadian took over part of the US, would it be considered Continental Domination at that point? :plotting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induced_Horizon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sounds like a plan lol ... Basickly the states will have names just for name sake but hell .. don't really matter ...

I dont believe this will be a Tournament style of Gaming now that I think about it ... This system is never ending ... if you lose all your property by chance , as in a Tournament you would be Out . No More games . The way I have it set up is that this is more for a way and a Reason to set up wars and events with known friendly clans . This could be set up like a Tournament though and it would have to start over in cycles . would be a little more work involved and I would need to recruit help from MXM or others . All depending on how things turn out if it can be a Tournament system on not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Induced_Horizon Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 who ran SOCOMQuest ?? Most Clans that I was a part of didn't really get in to a lot of Tourneys . We would mainly just do scrimmages and such with other known clans . Nothing for prestige or with real value . So a lot of the Tourneys you talk about are things I have not herd of .. Basically saying if there is another site doing what I am doing now it seems to be a bit pointless for me to continue .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Induced_Horizon Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I google searched it and see the it turned in to Urgent Fury for the most part in 05 or 06 area ... I don't believe what I have going is anything like what they have going or had .. I am sure they will make a comeback when H-Hour comes in to play as well .. I looked in to UF at one point but never got in to detail on what they were about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Induced, if you contact me, I can tell you all about URGENT FURY. I was a part of the APC clan back then where Undertow was a co-creator of that tournament. It started out as a "RISK BASED" type of game with a few wrinkles. They eventually sold it off to SONY and is an official backer of that tournament so it was pretty cool watching it grow from its infancy into what it is today. Actually, that is how I got to know these guys in mXm originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked in to UF at one point but never got in to detail on what they were about It was nothing like what UF has become today, but then again the original UF before they were bought out was nothing like it is today either. SOCOMQuest was a bunch of clans who battled for countries across the globe, whoever ended up with all the territories won, if you lost your country(ies) you could challenge for it back if you still had other countries in control, if you lost it and you had nothing else you were out. Gamebattles was very popular back then too before they were bought out by MLG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induced_Horizon Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 My Intention for Event Horizon is mainly a place for clans to find or help schedule events with other Known Friendly Clans . I plan to add more events other than just American Domination . Was thinking about a Ladder match system but I am not 100% sure how to go about it and or how XP would be earned based on clan rank and W/L Ratio ... If there is a push to get Big Clan back into action with H-Hour then you know that is going to bring out the GFX artist in all of us again and Hopefully by that time I will have a System set up for a GFX Showdown ... I am setting up Events Horizon where Clan Leaders choose what their clan gets in to . If a Clan gets invited to the site ,they dont have to be part of American Domination , they can choose not to partake in it . They might have joined for a different Events System . If it is Tournies that Clans want , well then American Domination could be Converted in to a Tourney System ... But Honestly I cant give out Prizes to the winner . I am a Broke Mo Fo ... The only thing I could give the winner is a GFX Trophy to post on their clan site .. If I do turn it in to a Tourney I am definitely going to need to recruit help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
