WINDWARS OVERVIEW

The Game In a building, there is a large, vaulted room which has a map of Avendar on floor and floating pads around it whereupon players (2 to 9) stand. There is a balcony for spectators who watch the match. Characters can then play a strategy game, aided by the air scholars/illusionist who make images of guilds and adventurers which the players have partial control over.

Beginning Characters choose a race, and when game begins, an illusionist creates the illusionary images of the game on the map. Spectators can look at one of the 25 areas of the map to see what is happening in that area, or look at the map as a whole to get a summary view.

Each player begin in the home area of his/her race, with 200 gold, a keep, and a guild (type depending on race). Players win by destroying the opposing player’s keep (or reaching a set score). Each keep has a guard, and players can send out peasants (or citizens, or slaves) to build guilds. Players can also build inns, marketplaces, and blacksmith shops.

Adventurers When a guild is constructed (handled automatically by the peasant bots), the guild can train up to four adventurers, and it serves as their home base. The adventurers are more or less self-controlled bots: they will pick fights on their own with those of other races (esp. differing alignments), battle creatures, and wander. They have randomly generated attribute stats as appropriate for their race, which have various influences in the game.

Conflict When adventurers encounter other adventurers, they might battle, and may battle to the death (not game combat, but prog-handled conflicts), or flee. When they encounter creature dens/ruins/enemy buildings, they may attack it. If wounded, they might rest in their guild, or find better rest (healing) in an inn.

Adventurers gain in experience, levels, and power, and get a special ability at the 5th level. They also deposit the gold they collect (from having found treasures, or plundered enemies) in their guild, to purchase healing or recall potions. Players can then use this gold.

Creatures One of the ways to bring gold to coffers and raise the level of adventurers is by fighting creatures on the map. In each area where a player does not start, there will be a creature den (ruins, castle, etc) that generates creatures/npcs to fight. Players can destroy the den. Wandering monsters will also occasionally generate from an area, and wander into an adjoining area. At set times as well, the player’s home area will be infested by creatures generated from an adjoining area, who can attack the player’s buildings.

Rewards One can put rewards on creatures, enemy adventurers, creatures, or buildings to encourage one’s own adventurers to attack them. Players can designate an areas of the map with an explore reward, which will encourage adventurers to go there (and be more likely to try for the nearby award. The higher the rewards, the better chances for players to seek them out (ie they’ll do one’s bidding quicker).

Money When adventurers collect rewards, find treasures while wandering, and get treasures when battling creatures or enemies, they will spend it in the marketplace, inn, or donate it to their guild. This money is collected by tax collectors that wander from building to building, and return it to the central keep. The gold in the keep is what the player uses to train more adventurers and to build more guilds and buildings.

Game Board

The board is a 5x5 area grid where the bots actually interact. Various progs allow players and spectators to observe what is happening. Players can see all the contents of an area where they have a building or an adventurer, and can get a general summary view of what is happening throughout the world. Observers can only view areas contents where more than one player has a presence, and they can also get the generalized overview.

Buildings Available

When a player give the build building command (if he/she has enough gold), peasant bots will be generated to work on it. The peasants can be killed, like the adventurer bots. The more overall buildings the player has, the more peasants will be generated.

Buildings: Inn 75 (Heals hp, 1 gold per, 2%chance 1 gold per click) Blacksmith 100 (Increases attack and defense by 1, 10 gold per, 1% 1 gold per click) Marketplace 125 (Sells recall and health, 5 gold per, 5% 1 gold per click) Guardpost 100 (1% 1 gold per click, generates 1 guard)

Bot details PLAYERKEEP BOT (only one) race = race platinum = reward on keep gold = player’s total collected gold pos = 0 1 2 under repair 0 = math variable 1 = player’s points 2 = total peasants usable 3 = peasants being used 4 = tax collection counter 5 = total adventurers 6 = total buildings 7 = creatures slain 8 = enemies slain 9 = location

progs: game reports for players and observers

GUILDBUILDING BOT (one max per region) race = race type platinum = reward gold = gold in guild hp = hp pos = 0 has been completed 1 under construction 2 under repair 0 = math calculations 1 = training #1 adv counter 2 = training #2 adv counter 3 = training #3 adv counter 4 = training #4 adv (or guard) counter 5 = #1 adv (true/false) 6 = #2 adv (true/false) 7 = #3 adv (true/false) 8 = #4 adv (true/false) 9 = location

Progs: - count down training, then create adventurer bot

GUARDTOWER BOTS (one max per region)

race = race platinum = reward gold = gold name = Guard tower

ADVENTURER BOTS race = race platinum = reward gold = gold silver = potions health

	copper = potions recall

progs: main ai -defend self or flee? -defend ally? -defend building? - go to rest/heal in nearby inn? - go to rest/heal in home guild by recalling? - attack nearby enemy? - normal, or attack ability? - attack nearby building? - go to nearby marketplace? - search for combat reward? - search for explore reward? - wander?

PEASANT BOT (generated on ‘construct’ command, number based on how many buildings owned)

	name = NAME peasant

short = NAME the [peasant/chaja/slave/servant/thrall] long = name of building being worked on? hp = hp $f0 = master $f1 = target of repair 1 = building(0) , repairing (1)

progs: increasing hp of building to repair or contruct, go back to keep (purge self) when done.

LOCATION MARKER BOT name = LOCATION locationbot short = LOCATION platinum = reward $f0 = master 0 = visit counter (set to 1000 if adv. present, counts down if none present, purge self when at zero and reward = 0, adv. can’t collect reward for visiting if already there)

VALUES Get these values from off a master data_prog bot, so as to not bury them separately throughout the all the bot progs (would be a nightmare to adjust, otherwise)
