User:Costadinos/Map Game



Welcome to the MicroWikia map game. Remember, the whole purpose of this game is to let out your frustrations in a productive way, and eventually discover the difference between play and work.

RULES 


 * You have one turn per day, no more, no less.
 * When you begin, you may pick three starter territories (depending on how large they are). A territory is one of the clearly defined 'states' on the map.
 * Diplomacy does not count as a turn. The only thing that does is war and taking more territories.
 * Once you're started you can ask for as many territories as you want (below 10) but the odds are you won't get many, it's best take your time.
 * The bank shall be up and running. Your starter sum ($) will be calculated on the term of the countries you are in and how much oil and other material they have, etc. You will also get a bonus which is random and will be decided by OPS.
 * Do not fake money, delete other players actions etc, you will be banned from the whole of microwikia for a decided time if you do.
 * Please ask one of the Ops to join. Post on their message wall where you'd like to start and what colour. (colours may be chosen for you when we start getting more players).
 * Turns: You get 1 action. This means you can choose to invite a new territory or invade. You only get 1 of these. You get 3 Bank turns. This means buying things such as cruise missiles. Diplomacy is unlimited.

The Stores - Walmart but with Cruise Missiles
Here you can find stuff that you are able to buy. Next to your country's name it will display what level of what you have and what warheads you have bought. Make sure you note below that you have bought stuff and we will monitor your accounts to make sure you deduct it from your account. In the post make sure you specify you bank balance before and after the transaction. We will check up. Anyway, onto the firepower. We shall only go up to 5 since it is the beginning level. Air is not available in these dark times.

The Age is new and Industry is moving swiftly! New men have come up with large iron stallions that cross the sea by the hundreds and guns that can fire without the need of a bolt!

Army:


 * Upgrade 1 - A large Riflemen division, ideal in open warfare and great for swarming the enemy. 10 billion.
 * Upgrade 2 - Cannons and Cavalry, 'great bang for buck', pardon the pun. 20 billion.
 * Upgrade 3 - Horse Drawn Artillery, who would of thought they could get louder. 40 billion
 * Upgrade 4 - Special Warfare, the geniuses at HQ have come up with a new and amazing way of killing the enemy, it's called sitting in a hole and waiting to run at their machine guns.- 45 billion
 * Upgrade 5 - The Maxim guns, from a faire ground ride maker to killing thousands of men on the battlefield, Mr. Maxim sure done a good job at both. Formidable on the battlefield and we're told it's the 'future'. I doubt it somehow. - 50 billion

Navy


 * Upgrade 1 - Gallions, a bit old but they do the job, full with cannons and lots of men who wear strange uniforms. - 8 billion
 * Upgrade 2 - Frigates, big Iron things with lots of firepower, a bit slow but hey. - 12 billion
 * Upgrade 3 - Warships, the backbone of a strong modern navy, or so we're told. Personally we believe that history may take a different turn and we're probablly right. 15 billion
 * Upgrade 4 - The Fleet, the fleet or steel, solder and lead. Ready to hit the enemy where it hurts at any given time...although quite slowly and takes a while to arrive. 20 billion
 * Upgrade 5 - The V-boat. this new gizmo actually goes underwater, undetected! Well, if you'll excuse the black coal dust emitting from the large funnle and the loud churning of the engine. We're told our friends in Europe are developing a new one called the U-boat, although we can hardly see that happening, too damn dangerous. These hit undeteced (sometimes) and destroy other people's naval upgrades.- 150 billion

Special


 * Gyrocopter - This new thing flies! Like a bird! How splendid! We never would've thought. You can sit in this all day with a very imposing blade swining around your head at very high speeds dipping and diving your way throughout the countryside. The folks at HQ have decided to fit it with a Maxim gun which we think is a ravishing idea. This is the pinnacle of technology. This will be attached to your army and will make your land forces move faster and be able to break through faster. - 200b
