NPC Kingdoms

Post by Kaz » Sun Oct 11, 2009 5:41 am

Tomorrow I will try and get the NPC kingdoms in play.

I will probably create a test game that allows infinate tithing, but no war etc.

If you are interested in helping build some NPC realms, post in here.

This will be only for the most die hard of builder me thinks.

The NPC Builder 'game' is now available.

You can build up to 4 kingdoms, but at any point you could chose to reload a blank save or one of the existing saves, or even an NPC save.

Turns start at 5000 and you get more at 25 per hour.

Offensive actions are disabled.

Buildrate is dramatically increased.

Tithe is unlimited.

The current Save system does not save troops (maybe forts too). When you save a kingdom for NPC use, please summarise the troops/forts/scum in the title of the save.

I am currently working on the script to create and rotate the NPC kingdoms, but need some kingdoms to rotate in.

Please make sure that when you save the build you have forted up and trained troops to elite.

On the save screen is an input saying PLEASE SUMMARISE YOUR TROOPS HERE!, please ensure that you give a decent summary of your troops in here.

Try and make the majority of saves between 30k and 60k acres, although a few monsters are also welcome.

Please try and make a selection of races too.

We almost have enough usable NPC realms for me to finish the script that will add them.

Feel free to make a load of suggestions for kingdom names and leaders too.

Preferably ones you dont plan on using in game.

This is actually more fun than i thought!

trying different things.. getting really good defensive kingdoms at certain points (60k, gonna try a 30k..) and now trying to see how big i can make a kingdom just through tithing with the 5000 turns given :p

Tried once (actually took my 60k kingdom and started with that.. so may not have been the best start) and not so easy! 5000 turns isnt as much as i woulda hoped! guess i can wait and get 25 turns an hour :P but thats not too much really ;)

The kingdoms being created are being moved after you guys make them, to a database of possible builds for NPC kingdoms.

We really want a selection of NPCs for each race, ranging from 30 to 60k to 90k acres, a few smaller, and a few bigger.

At the moment.

We have an 'almost' complete NPC system.

We need a few more NPC builds (especially Sidhe, have none yet) and I need to write the main script that will add a new kingdom into the game.

The system has 2 settings, max NPC's per faith (which will be set to 5) and max per script (which will be 2)

This script will run once a day, and will create new NPC kingdoms into the game until the max is reached.

This effectively means 2 per faith day one, 2 on day two and 1 on day three. This is just to stagger the kingdom numbers a bit.

A second script will be run more frequently (multiple times per hour), and will contain random pauses to stagger the release of NPC kingdoms.

This script will look for dead NPC kingdoms, pick a new save from the database, and bring the kingdom back to life.

NPC kingdoms will have between 50 and 250 million cash, will have ambush set, will have between 1 and 3 sorc sheilds, summon, and has a 1 in 4 chance of having fog cast.

The system is 90% complete.

Expect to see it in operation tomorrow, when we will probably reset.
