The previous longswordia wasnt really.. well, organised or so.

Thus, i decided to revive that nostalgia of excitement.. with this new version of Battle For Longswordia!

All new version 1.2 -cracked- is tons more easy to play, as the longswordian map is longer (vertically), thus eliminating the need to scroll left and right.

I will do all the updating, and I will also log every action.

Turns in this version is more simple and fast-paced. Unlike the previous turns where you can only make one turn within every update, one turn is.. well, one turn!

so, if you make a move that cost 1 turn, your next turn comes once another person make their turn.

e.g.

The rules are pretty much the same as the previous BFL.

1. You start off with basic technology: Soldiers, normal rifles and jeeps. You have to research more advanced technologies. You have TV and phone technologies to keep your people at home calm.
2. Most territories have natives. They can be agressive or passive.
3. You can only start on territories 1 to 20 until further notice is given. The black territories, I1, I2, I3, I4 and I5 are already populated by natives that have government. They have some technologies and resources that you don't. You can trade with them or destroy them and take the spoils.
4. Superweapons are allowed, but using them is frowned upon. They take a good long while to research and can only be used once (Missiles) or can be used once every few turns but take massive amouts of energy to power. They can only take down 1 territory.
5. No "OMGWTFBBQ UBER TR00PERS!!!!11!!!!!". Basically, everything has a weakness.
6. Stealth is allowed. PM me with your choice of stealth manouver.
7. All actions are to be logged and take the following number of turns (you can do sumthin else meanwhile):

Direct orders to citizens (slavery, etc) = 1 turn
Direct orders to citizens involving hard work to accomplish (farming, etc) = 2 turns
Research of basic tech (boating, etc) = 2 turns
Research of medium tech (aviation, submarines, defensive units, etc) = 3 turns
Research of advanced tech (rockets, radars, advanced warfare units, etc) = 4 turns
Research of scientific hi tech (nuclear, atoms, etc) = 6 turns
Application of tech (prototypes, not for mass usage) = 1 turn
Application of basic tech (construction of boats, etc) = 2 turns
Application of med tech (constr. of aviations, etc) = 3 turns
Application of advanced tech (constr. of rockets, etc) = 4 turns
Application of scientific hi tech (construction of nuclear/atom bombs, etc) = 6 turns

8. Research and upgrade will cost you money. These are the prices (subject to change, based on current Longswordian market prices):

Research of basic tech (boating, etc) = L$200
Research of medium tech (aviation, submarines, defensive units, etc) = L$300
Research of advanced tech (rockets, radars, advanced warfare units, etc) = L$400
Research of scientific hi tech (nuclear, atoms, etc) = L$600
Application of tech per object(prototypes, not for mass usage) = L$50
Application of basic tech per object (construction of boats, etc) = L$100
Application of med tech per object (constr. of aviations, etc) = L$200
Application of advanced tech per object (constr. of rockets, etc) = L$400
Application of scientific hi tech (construction of nuclear/atom bombs, etc) = L$600

9. You are not allowed to queue turns. If you do, only the first action in your post will be logged and performed. The rest will be ignored.

If you break these rules, your turn will be forfeit.

-----

The Battle For Longswordia Headquarters are constantly upgrading their base, so any attempts to invade the BFL HQ will fail miserably.

If you want to invade another territory, you have two methods:

-Publicly warn their territory by posting here
or
-Secretly ambush their territory by sending me a PM.

Battle for Longswordia v1.2 -cracked- uses its own currency, that is Long$wordia Dollar (L$).

You can create your own territorial currency, by posting here and I'll determine the exchange rate of your currency which may rise or fall like unit trust prices.

You start with L$500 and every territory has one gold mine which is capable of producing 5 tons of gold every month. Each ton of gold can be traded with the BFL HQ for L$100. The BFL HQ will use the gold to trade with other continents for upgrading purposes.

After some time, the BFL HQ will find a new territory by its own satellite and software, Goggle Earth. Then, it will update the map.

You can buy Goggle Earth from BFL HQ for L$100, but the software version sold is downgraded by a whole lot, so all you can do is just monitor your own territory and is practically useless and a waste of wealth.

In the map, dark blue sections represent the deep sea and the light blue sections represent the shores and places where it is safe for your citizens to go fishing.

I will update as soon as I can.

I'd reccomend dividing up the sea into sections (without numbers) as well, for boat speeds/distances and war boats.
Also, how do we earn money and how fast?
Also again, try and make it so that you can have multiple levels of research. For example, researching 'boating' twice will allow you to make faster, stronger boats.
Also again again, don't forget about natural disasters, including weaker boats being liable to storms when out at sea.

That's my point you see. It takes away the freedom thet the original BFL had that made it fun. And it sucks when you think a great idea for something to do and then notice you lack the money and can't think of ways to earn more.

As i have said earlier, I think the money system is just overcomplicating things and in future may make things just boring and i'd rather it went.

It takes away the freedom thet the original BFL had that made it fun.

Its the freedom that also made the original BFL much more complicating. No wonder it's stuck halfway.

P.S. New updates (copied from the actions log.)

CILLIT BANG The citizens decided to research on a substance they call "Cillit Bang"! They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

PLASMANA The citizens have researched and have attempted to upgrade vehicle motors. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

ERIC PRYDZ-CALL ON ME The citizens of this whacko country has finally made up their mind to research on steam engines. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

CILLIT BANG The citizens have finally gained progress and has now identified Cillit Bang as detergent. Their scientists await orders.

PLASMANA Their physic experts have invented a basic Wankel-cycle engine. They also found out that the engine is capable of flying an aircraft. They await orders.

ERIC PRYDZ-CALL ON ME The scientists are finally able to engineer a small steam engine that is capable of moving a toy car at speeds of up to 3mph. They celebrate this breakthough.

MATT'S COUNTRY 1.2 The citizens of the Pink Country has begun research of aviation. They take 3 turns and have L$200 left so far.

DRAGON LAND The citizens have now started research for dragon-style warfare. Their scientists are puzzled and do not know how to start. They take 4 turns and have L$100 left so far.

RUNTOPIA After a sort of argument with the ruler of Plasmana, the citizens have made their mind to research aviation. They focus on the invention of hot-air balloon. Some citizens fear for global warming effects though.

MATT'S COUNTRY 1.2 A breakthrough success! They have created the glider and have understood the science behind the ability of the plane to glide. They also invented propellers, made of banana leafs and propelled by their legs through papaya tree fibres.

ERIC PRYDZ-CALL ON ME Some scientists have made experiments on their own and managed to increase the air compression thus allowing the toy car to travel at 43mph. They celebrate and await orders.

BFL HQ Success! They have discovered two new islands, T1 and T2. Through their satellite, they assume that both islands are very modernized and have extraordinary technology. In between the mainland and T1 is a thick haze. The satellite is unable to see what is within the haze.

and oh, i forgot about your money left.

<editing the update log>

You have L$200 left so far.

and oh, please read the rules. production of a prototype will cost you money. production of the real object will also cost you money. you never requested to build any balloons, so of course you wouldn't have any balloons.

and btw, you dont need research to DROP THINGS. just hold them up high using your hand and release them. oh, do you mean DROP THINGS as in from an aircraft? if so, you'll have to decide on which to do: build balloons, launch balloon flagship OR research on dropping things. CHOOSE ONE.

p.s. pls keep in mind that the battle of longswordia headquarter is a territory on its own. so, whatever i research will be updated here too, and i have the ability to establish alliance with other territories like all of you. :)

RUNTOPIA The Runtopian citizens have cracked their heads and found a way to heat the air in the hot-air balloon: by using an Xbox 360 which is suffering from the three red ring of death. They celebrate their success by wrapping the 360 in three layers of towel to fix the red ring of death error. The 360 still is unable to heat the air to a temperature high enough to allow the hot-air balloon to fly very high. The hot-air balloon is only able to rise 3 metres from the ground.

BFL HQ Beginning research of a satellite that is able to penetrate and see through haze. They take 1 turn and have unlimited amount of money left so far.

read the rules dude. by the first week of september, everyone will receive L$500. that'll make the game easier to manage.

and you can trade whatever your country have with other countries. lets say you have been researching on crystals, and another country needs crystals for, say, a radar, and they dont have any.. so they will have to BUY from another country. my main objective is to establish trade within countries. :)


First turn: Research human DNA.

you dont have enough money. you have L$500 and you need L$600. tough luck :p

updates:


BFL HQ A prototype of the satellite has been launched into outer space and a new discovery has been made. T1 and T2 is actually located within the haze and they have been using an unknown technology to make their islands appear to be elsewhere.

HAVEN The citizens of this country decided to begin research on mining. They investigate on mining tools and the materials mined. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

PLASMANA The research on aviation begins again. With the current technology they found, they are confident of making history. They take 3 turns and have L$0 left so far.

EXTERAN They start research on submarines with minimal knowledge about boating. They take 3 turns and have L$200 left so far.

TERENTHIS The citizens research on ways to improve stone/metal mining. They also investigate for new materials to mine. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

Well, yes there is an alternative method: trading. You can send an invitation to another country (must be connected in the same island, unless you have researched and built boats or aviations or other transport methods) to start trade.

Also, build a plane.

Prototype or comercial-use plane? if you dont build a prototype first, your planes will be unstable and unreliable. and they frequently break down. :(

build some trains

you cant. reason #1: you are broke. reason #2: you havent researched anything about trains. you simply cant build a train.

Research The Manhattan Project.

UPDATES.

ERIC PRYDZ-CALL ON ME The citizens now begin research on aerodynamics. No one knows their true intentions. They take 3 turns and have L$0 left so far.

RUNTOPIA The citizens research on better and more efficient methods to heat air this time round. They take 2 turns and have L$0 left so far.

EXTERAN A breakthrough success! They have successfully created a cube that can go underwater. However, the cube is airtight and is still unable to surface until now, while in the middle of experiment.

TERENTHIS Finally, they found a new way to hasten mining works with a new, never-before used tool, which they call "spade". It may be small but it is still faster than mining with bare hands.

ERIC PRYDZ-CALL ON ME They uncover the basics of aerodynamics: thrust, drag, and lift. They continue research.

RUNTOPIA They finally found a way to improve air heating efficiency: by using oil. A group of citizens protest for fear of oil depletion. The scientists are puzzled. However, during experiments, the hot-air balloon can rise up to 32m and fell due to depletion of oil in the oil tank. They await orders.

BFL HQ They apologize to Matt's Country 1.2 for mislocating them on the Longswordian Map. They explain that it was a system error.

HAVEN They further research on faster mining methods. They take 2 turns and have L$100 left so far.

AWESOMEPANTS Politicians, laborers and citizens alike sit and discuss on which field should they decide to be the country's main economical source. A scientist decide on mining, and everyone agreed. Thus, they begin research on mining, prioritizing gold and efficiency. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

CILLIT BANG The citizens are trying to make money out of their latest find: the super efficient Cillit Bang detergent. They decided to commercialize it, and made good use of the strong winds from the southwest to fly leaflets, hoping that citizens of another country would receive them. They take 1 turn and have L$300 left so far.

TERENTHIS The citizens begin to panic upon receiving news of Cillit Bang leaflets flying their direction. A messenger is on his way to the King to inform him of this event.

MATT'S COUNTRY 1.2 Construction of a non-prototype airplane has begun for the first time ever. They take 3 turns and have L$0 left so far.

DRAGON LAND Their odd research has taken a longer time than estimated. They now have a slight success and has found an unusual breed of animal species which is able to fly and is long like a dragon. They train the animal and are still dumbfounded by their ruler's order.

THE ALLOY NATION Their research on metals have been taking a long time due to much confusion on the properties of metallic substance. A new metal is created! It is modified from and 7.364 times lighter than copper. They await orders.

EVIL COUNTRY The citizens begin research on video game programming. They take 3 turns and have L$300 left so far.

MATT'S COUNTRY 1.2 The construction of the plane has come to a halt due to shortage of metal. The citizens propose to the ruler to trade metal with another country.

20 Oct 2007, 17:16
uhh.. supsuper, for what reasons do you desire to head to territory 17? please state.

sorrry if some of your actions are forgotten to be logged :( i get confused sometimes and forgot to update on your researches/etc.. sorry if i do, and do remind me if i do!

and, just to keep this going, ...

http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2007/ga071015.gif

i lol'd at that strip.

and i'm currently updating the crap action log.......

And... when does 3 turns pass for my research to be finished?

oh yeah, i updated the actions log but i forgot to add it to this thread. anyways, PLASMANA A plane is born! The experimental plane has flown 42m high and achieved speeds of 150kmh. They await orders.

So now you steal my money. This is so biased.

i didnt steal your money! i just put the wrong figure previously. just in case you missed the rules, READ THIS (http://www.geocities.com/lyauh/bfl_actions_rules.txt).

i included that link in the first post, didnt i? check again... :mad:

And, to ensure constant update on the amount of money each country receives from gold trading with the BFL HQ (read the first post, thanks), i have made another log.

http://www.geocities.com/lyauh/bfl_gold_trade.txt

And oh, ShadowLord, i advise you further research on your detergent. and fast. because... NATURAL DISASTER!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BFL NEWS

LATEST OUTBREAK!

A deadly virus is fast spreading, and the virus seems to live comfortably on dirty clothes, primarily unwashed clothes of soldiers. Several people in the BFL HQ has died and the sea waves, coming from the northwest direction, are drifting some dirty clothes, suspected to be infected with the virus, of which some BFL HQ staff has thrown into the sea, and they are heading towards the main island. Based on computerized simulations, the infected clothes will reach Dragon Land and probably Evil Country. However, the sea tides are unpredictable and results may differ from the predictions.

END OF NEWS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your detergent has antibacterial properties, it will be a huge hit :cool: unless that countries want to take the risk and see if the infectious clothes may go a different direction. I AM NOT FAVORING CILLIT BANG. And this is not biased. I already planned this disaster in my diary way before i made this game. And many more to come. And it is such co-incidence that there's a detergent.

<whatever he said>

you cant build a battalion of hot air balloons. you are broke. and i will make earning money easier for you guys soon.

UPDATE!TERENTHIS The ruler has no fear of the leaflets and has told the citizens to calm as Cillit Bang is just a detergent. The citizens are relieved and begins research for new materials to be mined. They take 3 turns and have L$100 left so far.

HAVEN A messenger is sent to request the ruler of Terenthis to open trade between the two countries. Something unexpected may happen to these two countries...

BFL HQ The HQ will sponsor L$100 to all research projects as they desperately search for a more efficient method to earn money.

EVIL COUNTRY Their first ever game, Pong, is created! It is based on the original Pong by Atari Inc. The citizens now begin research on a next-gen video gaming console. They take 3 turns and have L$0 left so far.

AWESOMEPANTS They successfully found a way to improve gold yield and are now producing 50% more gold. They eagerly await the next trade with BFL HQ for money.

TERENTHIS The citizens found a new material! It is clear like crystal, hard like diamond and yet shiny like chromed metal. Everyone lol'd and await orders.

EXTERAN Research on subs continue. They hope to create a sub in which creatures can survive and not die of suffocation. They take 3 turns and have L$0 left so far.

TERENTHIS The ruler has accepted Haven's request, but with terms and conditions. He awaits the ruler of Haven to agree to those T&C and is doubtful.

CILLIT BANG Cillit Bang seems to be the best detergent ever, they claim. Now they advertise Cillit Bang on TV. The comercial says: "This isnt just cleaning products. This is Cillit Bang! Bang. And the dirt is gone." No one seems to be attracted though.

nope you dont. check the rules buddy. Prototype = L$50 | Comercial use = L$300 :p

and i found a new way to improve earning money but i will need someone else's help :( That is to trade gold with the BFL HQ every fortnight. so that means you gain L$500 every two weeks (twice a month). but i just cant keep up all the work alone... Thus this system isnt yet implemented :p

anyways,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATES!BFL HQ A new virus is spreading fast! They still have minimal knowledge about it.

CILLIT BANG Further research on their detergent is under way. They take 2 turns and have L$200 left so far.

HAVEN The citizens research on improved mining. They take 2 turns and have L$0 left so far.

PLASMANA The ruler requests to open trade with Cillit Bang and Terenthis. Meanwhile, the citizens construct a prototype based on their latest technology.

THE ALLOY NATION They finally concluded that their very own synthetic metal, which some call Lipper (Light Copper), is suitable for use in building aircrafts. They now begin creating a machine for mass producing "Lipper".

HAVEN A new tool is invented! The "shovel" speeds mining works up to 1.5 times faster. They await orders.

AWESOMEPANTS The citizens are on the lookout for more gold fields. They take 2 turns and have L$300 left so far.

Would I be right in saying that the commercial building makes multiple units, instead of just one?
Otherwise it's much too expensive.


Also, I request a $100 grant for two plane prototypes. Try to claim it as 'air trade research' and how it's the first step to cross-country trading.

Accept trade request with Dunkar.

OFFER: If you give my country money, I will give you mining materials (spades) and some of the crystals we have just found, and if possible, our two countries can ally with eachother as well.
Is that a deal?

EDIT:
Propose trade with Therenthis and CillitBang. If they agree to trade, use latest prototype by launching from a very high cliff, allowing it to be able to drift if there isn't enough fuel or in case of an engine failure.
Agreed.

My turn:
ONCE MONEY HAS BEEN GAINED FROM DUNKAR'S COUNTRY:
Carry on looking for a new type of metal.
TARGET: Same as before, to find a strong yet light metal.
