Pearls of Lutra Theme Details (Sept 2011)

[The Lady Shael]

Here are the gameplay and feature details for the round, coming up tonight. =) Reply here if you have any questions.



Pearl Holder location:
This location has a 2.00 bonus for all location stats. Only one clan can be in this location at a time. To get to this location,  you must kill the land farm account "Tears of All Oceans". Once you kill the land farm, your whole clan is automatically moved to "Pearl Holder". You can't move to any other location (but why would you want to? =p). You can stay in this location as long as you like, until another clan kills the land farm Tears of All Oceans (which is reborn again with 10,000 land). You can drop land to the land farm (only if you are in the Pearl Holder location) to prevent it from being killed.

When a clan kills the land farm, whatever clan currently holds the pearls will be forced out of Pearl Holder, into either Sampetra or Mossflower, depending on their clan.

Sampetra location:
Sampetra is an island off of the coast of Mossflower. It is most well-known for being the home of the Emperor Ublaz Madeyes. This island has high bonuses (not as high as Pearl Holder), but these bonuses come with a price: every time you use turns in Sampetra, you pay a very small tax to Ublaz in the form of cash and food (0.02% of your total cash and food, per turn!).
Bonuses:
Loyalty: 1.30
Army: 1.30
Scouting: 1.15
Attraction: 1.25

Mossflower location:
Bonuses:
Loyalty: 1.10
Army: 1.10
Scouting: 1.20
Attraction: 1.00

Emperor Ublaz Madeyes:
An emperor account with much resources and land. Ublaz is the ruler of the island of Sampetra. You can attack him and use other leader missions on him, and he CAN be killed.

Once he is killed, the person who killed him becomes the Emperor of Sampetra, and earns the tax of the Sampetra location, which can be set between 0-0.02%. Once the player becomes the Emperor, they have "Emperor" put in front of their name (will be done manually), they are removed from their clan (can no longer join or create clans) and they can't move to any other location (including Pearl Holder).

If you become Emperor, you will have access to a top secret page: Throne Room. There, you can set the value of the tax (can be from 0% to 0.02% per turn), or send a mass-message to everyone in the game. You can still be killed though, and if you are, then the person who kills you will take your place as the Emperor of Sampetra.

Killing Ublaz and becoming Emperor is NOT the main focus of the game...the main focus should be trying to steal the pearls and protecting them from the other clans. But it will certainly make things interesting. =)

Clans:
There are four clans: Ublaz's Army, Trident Guard, Corsairs, and Woodlanders. Ublaz's Army and Trident Guard start out on Sampetra (tax still applies in protection), and Corsairs and Woodlanders start out in Mossflower. You cannot leave your clan (unless you become Emperor). In the first week of the game, all the clan members can vote for a clan leader, and after exactly one week, whoever has the most votes will become the leader of that clan. The clan leader will have all the normal clan administration options (except to boot people from the clan and change clan name and tag).

Lizard Troops:
Lizards are a new troop type only available through Mercenaries. They have an OP of 12 and DP of 9. Their base cost is $5000 and their networth multiplier is 8. Their attack type is Cannibal Attack. (it's just a name, nothing special about it. =p) They can be used in any location, and they are also used in Standard attacks. You can also sell them on the Market or aid them to others.

Tears of All Oceans:
This is the land farm account that allows a clan to move to the Pearl Holder location. It starts out with 10,000 land, and every time it is killed, it is automatically reborn again with 10,000 land. Land can be dropped to it if you are in the Pearl Holder location, but it can't receive aid.

I can't sign up...after filling out the form the page doesn't change.

It looks like the page is loading but does nothing  :P

EDIT: 10 minutes later it finally works.

EDIT: nope, nothing again.

[The Lady Shael]

Sorry, give me a bit, I'll fix this.

[Uiblis]

Lol, for some reason the accounts are being created, but they're not letting me log in to them, either. It worked once.

[Kilkenne]

Keep making accounts. LIKE A CHAMPION!

[Uiblis]

yeah...sure.

I think I'll rename myself... :P

[The Lady Shael]

Okay....try again.

[Uiblis]

Something Has Occurred
MySQL Query Error (1064) You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'where num!=5' at line 1

[The Lady Shael]

Thanks! That error helped. Try again please.

[Uiblis]

Worked. Hooray.

This is why you don't sign on at 2:00 am in the morning...lol.

[Gen. Volkov]

Apparently it did register the signups, because there is a gap in warlord numbers. Goes straight from 10 to 15.

[EDIT] No longer does so.

[Uiblis]

Still does. EDIT: nvm

And yes, it did register, but I couldn't log in to any of them.

[Skullkor]

I haven't been placed in a random clan for some reason. Or can I only be randomly assigned to a clan after I'm out of protection?\
Edit:Nevermind

[Uiblis]

Shael fixing errors as we speak...type?

[The Lady Shael]

Heh, pretty much. Anything else I'll deal with in the morning. Good night guys. :) thanks for putting up with all the glitches.
