Events: EU / Total Control - A Hex Map Conquest Event
« on: January 06, 2014, 10:36:29 pm »
CURRENTLY EDITING RULES | WILL BE UPDATED CONTINUOUSLY

NO OFFICIAL START DATE AS OF YET
The goal is to start by February 1st



Welcome to the new installment of the Total Control - A Hex Map Conquest Event. The goal of this event is to create a massive battle between multiple regiments on a battlefield. Regiments will be split up into two teams, the French and the English and will start on opposite points of the map. The goal is to capture Nodes or Sections on the map to gain certain bonuses for battles. These can range anywhere from and officer bonus to even having cavalry in a line battle.

By capturing Sections and Nodes you gain momentum on capturing the rest of the map. As it is the goal to capture and eliminate the enemy team.



Hex Map Rules

Winning Conditions
You hold all 5 Strategic points
Manpower as in actual casualties - Full 3000 Depleted


Same Faction Regiments may not stand on the same hex, unless is on top of a capital section.(Forced Retreat)
Call to Arms Range  - 2 hexes from center
No Fog of War everyone will be able to see where everyone is moving
Crossing paths at the same time with opposing faction - 1v1 - or allow passage.
If Regiments Lose 1v1s or events - they take a automatic -50 manpower and have the choice to retreat 1-2 hexes back into captured territory or retreat to the closest captured capital or movement route 2 hexes back.
Winners take the spot and may continue their movement if wanted



Battle / Events / Nodes

Battles take place over Section Capitals, Victory Points, Denied Nodes, regiments fighting over same movement hex.
Events can happen throughout the week / Sunday for big events / this is a regiment vs regiment kind of event set up
Regiments within the “Call to Arms” range can come to the event without merc penalty
Regiments outside the “Call to Arms” range come as mercs
Each Week Sunday Night 8 pm est or 9 pm est still to be decided are for capital / vp nodes.
Multiple battles can happen in 1 week.



Manpower

Manpower will be totaled up on Sundays
Each Faction will have 3000 manpower.

Regiments are allowed to move up to 6 hexes per week although there is a catch. Moving more than one hex will cost you man power.
(2 hexes is -5 manpower, 3 hexes -5 manpower, 4 hexes -10, 5 hexes -10, 6 hexes -20. Max of 6 hexes a week - 20 manpower)

If an imbalance occurs, you are able to call upon mercenaries. Mercenaries in turn count at 2 manpower per the usual one. For example, if the 54th brings 40 men and we also bring 5 mercenaries the total manpower will be 50. ((40 members + 5 Mercs = 50 Manpower) 1 Merc = 2 Members)

Every member you bring will cost you one manpower; if you lose the battle, your regiment loses double its own manpower.



Installments/Other Manpower Notes

Buildings / Forts placing forts on sections - costs 100 manpower each faction gets 2 forts - forts are Siege Maps once you lose the Siege - the fort is lost and takes double the amount to rebuild the fort for both sides. Example Faction A builds fort for 100 Faction B Wins then rebuilds a fort on same section for 200 manpower
Capturing a Section - 50 manpower
Capturing a node - 5 manpower
Denial of a node - 10 manpower
Capturing Victory Point / Strategic Point - 25 manpower



Week By Week Check List

Decisions for each regiment movement, capturing, fighting, needs to be down by Tuesday of each week.On Wednesday the movements of regiments will happen if any conflicts Wednesday or thursday will be a 1v1 between each of their regiments.
Friday Capture, contest, deny nodes - Que - Saturday+Sunday - Event to Contest or Denial Battles.
Sunday after the event Total up all manpower used over the week and deducted from the total. - each regiment is responsible for their manpower usage.
Monday Strategize.
Repeat

Modifications / Editing banners/flags
« on: December 26, 2013, 07:07:46 am »
So lately, I've been trying to make flags and banners with my new regiment/signature logo. But every time I save the banners_b.dds so the folder location I go into game and the quality is complete crap. How do I fix this?

But also I'm having issues now with actually opening the .dds files all of a sudden. I have the Nvidia program that should allow me to open them but it still says it is the wrong file type. What can I do to fix that?

Events: EU / Becker's Conquest Event *Brainstorming* N/A
« on: December 19, 2013, 06:45:55 pm »
So, for those of you who have been around the MM/NW community for some time now remember the good old conquest events that were there but near extinct. I want to revive them.

I always thought that Conquest events tend to be pretty fun mainly because it gives lower ranking members in regiments leadership opportunities if you run it right. So my goal is to yet again get one running, BUT I want to make sure that it is exactly how the community wants it to be.

So I want you guys to throw out ideas at me, give me some opinions. How big should the lines be, should there be arty or cavalry, Fol and Foc. So just throw some at me.


Here is what I have in mind.

  • Regiments that want to take part in the event must have at least 10 members to attend.
  • You MUST have at least a 5 man line to move out of a spawn point
  • You may only fire when you are in a line of 3. (This for instance will take place when a capture point is under attack but may not have the men to move out of the base)
  • There is NO Fire on Charge
  • Obviously there is no Firing out of line aswell.
  • There may be Artillery, but must not exceed a maximum of 8 players (Arty Guard included)
  • Artillery is allowed to have 2 cannons due to the size of the maps.
  • Cavalry is not allowed mainly due to the fact that they are able to cover ground too quickly.
  • If a line dwindles down to less than 3 men, that line must charge.


** Added Rules **
  • A regiment is allowed to garrison and fire out of buildings, BUT firing MUST cease when an enemy player enters the garrisoned building.
  • If the threat inside the house is eliminated the regiment may continue firing.
  • Half man spacing will be enforced.
  • Do not worry, double ranks are not required.

That is all I can think of right now on rules. If I missed anything let me know.


Now I need to figure out when to host the event. This is where regiment leaders need to voice their opinions.

The ideal time for myself and the 54th are able to host this would be on Sundays at 8 or 8:30 PM Eastern Time.

So to clarify,
Sundays 8 or 8:30 PM Eastern Time



If you are interested in being a dedicated administrator for this event, add me on Steam and let me know!

But that is all I have for now, Ready, Set, GO!

Like said in the title, is there anyway we can get a separate EU and NA Event sections? It's a bit confusing sifting through all the threads.

I know my younger brother had been playing last night, we share a computer. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but could you please Un-ban me?
For the record my brother hardly ever plays M&B he thinks its stupid hence probably why he was doing whatever may have gotten me banned.
