Hot seat - On Line crossover game.

**Odessa** · August 06, 2008, 05:30 AM

Calling out to the Multilayer/On Line community.
I wish to set up a Hot seat - On Line crossover game.
I see three players as optimum. We would use MTW2 1.4 (for compatibility issues) and start on late campaign.
Game would be Hot Seat following normal rules (no auto resolve) and cfg set up.
On an encounter between Human players a Duelling approach would be taken.
Ie a formal challenge issued by one army against another, (the two opponents or three in rear circumstances would draw up within sight of each other ( red showing on map), then a challenge would be issued, (game save (an e mail comprising screen shot of challengers army sent to opponent)) if the challenged accepts battle a confirming army stat of opponent sent to challenger, game goes to On Line and is played out between the two army's conforming to in game status. Outcome would be mirrored in game at next turn with loser taking units out of game. And withdrawing.
if offer of battle refused then challenged army must withdraw at next turn he must move his army max distance , exception would be to withdraw in to own city/castle.

Possible exceptions to on-line battle.
Ambush and siege

in ambush if offered by game Ie you have successfully ambushed you opponent then play against AI.

Siege if allowed by game to enter city using spy then play out against AI.
If you are sieged and wish to sally forth offer battle but if not accepted you may go on and sally against AI.

outcome would be mirrored in game.
This is a broad outline wanting input and hopefully offers of players to test out.

Hmmm Sounds interesting. Not sure if i have the time to do it though. I might be in if it is only the big (interesting) battles that are fought this way. (For the next few weeks should be ok though if you want to test it?) How is the casulties going to work? Keep a unit if half or more remains and delete ones that are less than half?
