My Idea is This:

At the beginning of the round, the admins secretly pick a warlord number. Example: #7. This player gets a huge advantage, but his ( or her) net is hidden so the other players do not know. This person has a power called terrorize ( It kill a percentage of the opponent's troops) the only disadvantage this emperor has is that he or she can not see who is attacking them. He or she also collects taxes with out the player base knowing. The tax rate can be set from- 1% to 20%. Will you find this mega emp. and befriend him or her or will you fight for your freedom?

This is my basic outline. It may be changed up to the 23 of june.

Three teams: Cluny, Battlements, Abbey

Cluny's Army:
Goal: Kill all Abbey

Battlements: One account?
Land can be dropped down from Abbey to Battlements.
When battlement is still on, Abbey team gets a boost in defense.

Abbey:
Destroy Cluny's army.

>Admins can randomly drop in an account that will benefit one group or the other like battering rams, reinforced gates, etc... The opposite team must destroy those items to stop the benefits.

Sounds cool daryn!

Who are all the admins and mods that are going to be here and play for this round? To see if I should post my idea!

[Firetooth]

Two words.
RACE LADDER.

If nobody remembers that most epic round, leave the thread.

[Daryn]

Oh wow. I loved that round. We kept on changing to better races, right?

That's the one. Snap, also loved it :D
Plus it'd be great to test goldmine or academy with an uber race

Why not combine race ladder with custon races? Each advancement, you get 10 more points to allocate to your custon race as you see fit.

Good idea, as I remember in the end race ladder was waaaay OP, so this way you could still make a generally stronger race.
How would spells be allocated? Would you just pick a race at the begining and build up from there? Also, how would negatives be applied to balance the race?

[Shadow]

Haven't thought it out so much yet... was thinking everyone starts at 0 everything, and you can add or subtract 10 points each advancement. That is, after you are done, your new race differs in total points allocated by 10. Negatives and positives are added the same way.

ie,

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 has a 0 bonus
0 -10 0 0 0 0 10 has a 20 pt bonus

spells could be assigned differently for each level as it was last time.

Makes sense, but I also think a cap to be placed on how much that could be put in one category would be wise.

[Shadow]

no more than + or - 40, I would say, but that might have to depend on category as well.

Battle for Salamandastron.

Admins and Mods team up to gather clan LP(Long Patrol) or whatever they want to be called. Depending how many are playing they, meaning admins and mods, can choose 3-6 players to join their clan. And they have to be clanned  in the round, all of them. I think the clan could be 7-10 warlords large(could change depending on what you want)
One Admin or mod gets to be a badger. The rest are hares just like in the books.

All the other players can be three different races. For example, searat, otter, and ferret(have one for leader, one Indy and balanced) can be changed at admins will.

Whatever clan  can take down the clan LP or whatever becomes the new clan to take down if it happens.  And the player that takes down the badger takes his spot in the clan and becomes a badger.

The player to take down a hare takes there spot in the clan and becomes a hare. Any person that dies in the clan without own sacrifice becomes part of all the other players and not part of the clan until they kill someone.

A hare CANNOT take down the badger since he or she is the badger and is never taken down by his fellow hares.


All players start like they regularly do but can clan up later to team up and take down thee clan.

Try to come up with themes that don't depend on certain people playing certain roles. (ie mods, admins). You are not guaranteed activity from anyone, so it's best to keep the ideas general.
