Proposal: War of the Last Alliance-A Middle-Earth RP[ (Complete. New Rules in page 12) Claims Open

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

I have been working on this for quite some time, so I think it's finally time to publicize it.I have also made a club, there is a link on my signature, but I'll put one here as well.


Forum and sub-fora

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Main forum:Where the sign up thread is located, along with the rules, OOC thread and any proposal.

Middle-Earth:The main RPing sub-forum.Does not include battle or home threads.

Realms of Middle-Earth:Where Home threads are.Also where the player can post his bank.[More on that later]

Conflicts and Wars: Battle forum.

Records of the Scribes: Archive forum.

On Player Rules

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This part is dedicated to the rules players must follow instead of the in-game rules.That was done because even if the in-game rules are finished, they need polishing and are quite long.

On Meta-Gaming: Meta-Gaming, as in most cases is frowned upon and any act based on OOC knowledge will be excised.

On Power-Gaming:As with Meta-Gaming, Power-Gaming is frowned upon.

On Player interaction:In OOC interaction with other players, you must at least keep to common courtesy.

This section is outdated now, as Severus Snape has added a universal list of player rules.

Faction Unit Caps

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I was inspired to add this after recalling a poll put by Lord Valerius on the AGOT RPG.He found that his minor House could put more than 200.000 soldiers to the field because he had the money to pay for them.I recalled that comment a few days ago, and decided to add a cap on how many soldiers a faction can support, which doesn't change, regardless of being able to pay for the or not.

Mordor:600.000

Kingdom of Lindon:100.000

Realm-in-Exile:125.000

Morale System

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

As far as I know, this is a new development for TWC RPGs, as I haven't seen one before.There basically are various stages of morale,which are influenced by the following:

Unit Quality [High-tier units have better morale]
Race[For example, Elves have better morale than Orcs]
Battle Condition[A unit that is ragged and surrounded, and is also part of a losing army is likely to retreat]
Leadership[Soldiers led by a leader with high Influence can perform better]
Fearsome Units[Unless they have factors that favour them, units might break against fearsome units like the Nazgul]

These are the stages for unit morale.The average morale for a unit is 50.

Furious [Under special conditions]:Gives 50 more morale points.

Victorious:A victorious unit has 80 morale points.

Confident:A confident unit has 75 morale points.

Steadfast:A steadfast unit has 70 morale points.

Casual:A casual unit has 50 morale points.This is the state of a unit entering the battlefield.

Wary:A wary unit has 45 morale points.

Grim:A grim unit has 40 morale points.

Desperate:A desperate unit has 35 morale points.

Terrified:A terrified unit has has 30 morale points.

Broken:A broken unit has 25 morale points.

Shattered:A shattered unit has 10 morale points.

Units attempt to flee at Broken.

A flanked unit loses 10 morale
An encircled unit loses 15 morale
Seeing other units rout, a unit loses 5 morale per unit
If a leader dies, there is a chance that either all units lose morale, or they will be enraged.

Terrain and Other Bonuses

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A unit on elevated terrain such as a hill gets a 10% bonus

A unit defending a wall gets a 5% bonus

Dwarves get a 5% bonus when fighting underground

Ambushing units get a 15% bonus

Orcs get a 5% bonus when besieging settlements. With OoTM this is replaced with a 5% bonus on mountainous terrain

Numenoreans get a 5% bonus in Naval Combat

Elves of Lorien and Greenwood get a 5% bonus when fighting in Woods

Elves of Lindon get a 5% bonus at Field Battles

Easterlings and Haradrim get a 5% bonus at Deserts

On Levies

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When under attack, cities are given an amount of soldiers, which is proportional to their importance.The player can increase that number, by constructing relevant buildings.Here are the numbers for every tier of city.

Village:200

Small Town:500

Large Town:800

City:1.000

Large City:2.000

Huge City:5.000

Capital:10.000

These are the numbers at the beginning of the game, unaltered by players.

Economy

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The economical system is going to work with assigning players a starting amount of money depending on rank, but the rest they will have to make through efficient use of their province/s, which will have certain values upon which the player will try to best exploit.For example, there will be provinces which are particularly fertile, like Nurnen [Sauron's agricultural center] and others which sit upon trade lanes or great riches.This will give every region of the map unique characteristics. The players must post their bank on their home thread, and their account will be considered automatically updated, as long as they post changes which will affect their income, like trade agreements.

The currency of the game is the Mirian, which is divided into Canath.

There are categories on the fertility of certain areas.[Note that some problems of lacking fertile ground can be circumvented by building the proper infrastructure, but they are not wholly rid off]

Fertility

Barren

Low Fertility

Medium fertility

High Fertility

Very High Fertility

There are also categories on the minerals and gems that can be found through mining.[Note that the minerals found in the lower levels are also found int he higher ones]

Mineral Wealth

Low Mineral Wealth [Coal,Iron]

Medium Mineral Wealth [Silver,Mercury]

High Mineral Wealth[Gold, Platinum, Mithril [Only found in Khazad-Dum]

Gem Wealth

Low Gem Wealth[Amethyst,Opal,Beryl,Lapis Lazuli]

Medium Gem Wealth [Emerald,Sapphire,Ruby]

High Gem Wealth [Diamond]

Value

Value is measured in the worth of a chest's load of a material.

1 chest of Mithril:15.000 Mirian

1 chest of Diamond:5.000 Mirian

1 chest of Precious Gems:3.000

1 chest of Gold:2.0000 Mirian

1 chest of Silver:1.500 Mirian

1 chest of Iron:500 Mirian

1 cart [10 chests] of Agricultural products:100 Mirian

So you see, agricultural products aren't worth as much as gems or minerals, but make up for it in abundance. Trade agreements give both participants a 10.000 Mirian a week.

Character Stats

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Battles

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The battle rolls will use a percentile die, so:
Unit A attacks UNIT B, Unit A rolls for attack and Unit B for defense. Bonuses are counted and you deduct the losses.In a battle with multiple Units facing one, it is the same process, and every unit has to roll.There is also a system for morale, but I'll explain that separately.

Weapons and their bonuses

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This section covers the various weapons in the game, and the bonuses they have against certain units.

Bows:They have a 8% bonus against light units.

Pikes:When pike units are prepared, they have a 20% bonus against cavalry, and 5% against units that attack from the front.

Spears:Spear units have 10% against cavalry and 5% against other units.

Steelbows:They have a 20% bonus against armoured units, and an 8% against others, but are slow to fire.

Longswords:They have a 7% bonus against pikemen, and 10% against spearmen.

Greatswords:They have a 10% bonus against light units, and a 5% against spearmen.

Axes: They have a 10% bonus against spearmen.

Hammers: They have a 15% bonus against heavily armoured units.

Longbows:They have a 10% bonus against armoured units and a 4% against others, but can fire quicker.

Throwing Axes:They have a 10% bonus against armoured units.

Javelins:They have a 20% bonus against armoured units, but require close range.

Lances:The weapon of Heavy Cavalry, they have 20% bonus when charging,
and a 21% bonus against Heavy Infantry.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything.

On Banks

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The player will post his bank on his home thread, and there he must put his expenses and incomes.If he makes a trade agreement or a similar deal, he is obliged to put it in his bank, otherwise the income from it will not be considered valid. The player vault is to be considered automatically updated, which will not oblige him to update it every week for his incomes to be considered valid.

Duels

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Each character has a 1.000 health points in total.Armour protects your health points, and unarmoured characters may find themselves go down easily.You roll dice for both attacking and defending characters.Defending characters may block using their weapons.Blocking increases your armour rating, and can serve as defense when your armour points are depleted.Armour points are depleted with each attack, annd the number of armour points is relevant to the armour quality and type.The die roll determines how much is depleted.The damage of a weapon is added to each strike.So, if you roll 100% and have +200 weapon, 200 points are added to your strike.

Character Rules

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

If you are to be a major character, then you control the character himself, but not immediate relatives or other related characters. However, if you create and/or play as an OC, then you will play as his entire immediate family.

Creating your own House and/or character:

First of all, you need a reasonable background. We can't have the descendants of Marisuthiel, 8th but unknown child of Feanor popping up.You have to keep to the lore.

Secondly, you need a plausible name.We don't need to have the honourable members of House Stark of Winterfell joining us.The name has to be plausible for Middle-Earth.

FAQ

Q.What will be this RPG's stance on Lore?

A. We intend to base this on the Books, and stay accurate as much as possible.Things like that mean you will not see Plate Armour, absurd creatures or anything of the like.

Q.Why don't you include X faction?It would be cool.

A.We have cut some factions deemed secondary and merged them with other factions or made them unplayable.Which is why you won't see factions such as Enedwaith.

Q.How many characters can I play as?

A. Up to two characters, although one is strongly recommended. And of course, you can't play as two faction leaders.

Credits: Gandalf, who pretty much supported this idea from the very beginning and designed the Harad roster. Balin son of Fundin, for designing the Orcs of the Misty Mountains. Ngugi, for making a TATW submod that inspired me to make this RPG.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Put me down for Gil-Galad.

There's a good chance of this being approved as soon as you flesh it out because we're looking for something to replace the current LOTR game. You still have a good bit to do including creating rules. A word of advice about the rosters: they are probably not all going to be filled and its possible some factions will have no players at all. How are you going to address this?

Alright. Would you prefer him being son of Fingon or Orodreth?

We shall encourage players to take the main factions rather than the sub generals and lords.


Put me down for sauron.

Sauron?Will you abandon your OC?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Dang! Missed Sauron by minutes.

Put me down for Khamul or Khan Uldor...gonna have to think this over.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Dang! Missed Sauron by minutes.

Put me down for Khamul or Khan Uldor...gonna have to think this over.

Who would you prefer?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Who would you prefer?

Both are Easterlings...and I feel that a certain someone may want the Khan. So I will go with Khamul.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Alright. Would you prefer him being son of Fingon or Orodreth?

Doesn't really matter to me as long as he's still High King of the Noldor

Dang! Missed Sauron by minutes.

Put me down for Khamul or Khan Uldor...gonna have to think this over.

Why do you like the baddies so much?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Why do you like the baddies so much?

Because I love playing the baddies on Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2. Plus, all of them are awesome

Though I do desire Sauron, I will not deprive him of you, Gandalf. Go ahead and use him! I will just stick with someone lower...unless you truly wish to use someone else.

[Gandalfus]

Alright. Would you prefer him being son of Fingon or Orodreth?


Sauron?Will you abandon your OC?

Unless someone else wants sauron. Yes.

[Gandalfus]

We shall encourage players to take the main factions rather than the sub generals and lords.


Put me down for sauron.

[Gandalfus]

I will relinquish my position if we have a reliable player who wants to be sauron. If you want it, sure. I won't mind.


And I will switch to my third choice if the factions become full and this takes off.

[Gandalfus]

Put me down as Harad. If someone wants that... I'll take my secret choice.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

All latest claims have been edited in.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Of course, I have to point out that most things are in the club.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Most things should be here, if you please.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

It will take time to port them, and you can see things from the club without joining.I will get around to it though.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Social groups have a tendency to randomly get deleted without prior warning. I'd start transferring data

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Social groups have a tendency to randomly get deleted without prior warning. I'd start transferring data

I have already begun to do so.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

I have uploaded some of the faction rosters.

[Pontifex Maximus]

How are battles going to work? Is each unit going to get a numerical value for battle rolls? A cost? Are characters going to be prebuilt? Will there be traits? Will there be lands, if so, how does the economic system work?
