OOC: Events for Legion

[NapaseT 2]

I have been thinking of making events for the army Legion. These events will be just for fun and so that if they have never fought before they know how to, even though it is so simple. I will build all the arenas but you can help if you want. (Most of these are from Battlecraft because I am from Battlecraft and I like Battlecraft events)

List of ideas for events:

Attack and Defend - This is probably the first arena I'm going to build, what I'm thinking for this is building a circular fortress where one team will be on the inside and defend it. For the people who are inside defending it are mostly going to be filled with archers and one person who has a sword or axe. The objective for the defending team is to protect a certain block (cobweb, pumpkin, add ideas). The opposing team is attacking, they have to break the gates while being attacked by the defenders, once they get into the fortress, they then have to find the block and break it (the block will always be in the same place every event, the block would be mostly like the furthest away from the gate). The attacking team will be made up with only two archers and the rest warriors. The whole objective is to break the specific block. However, if one team has no more members alive, the opposing team wins automatically. Teams will be split up evenly.

Rules for Attack and Defend:

Items given to each member on either team

Defending Team

Archers: 16 Arrows, set of chainmail, and 10 bread

The solo warrior: Iron axe or iron sword, chainmail, and 10 bread

Attacking Team

Archers: 32 Arrows, set of chainmail, and 10 bread

Warriors: Stone sword or stone axe, chainmail, and 10 bread

The fortress

-The fortress will have a diameter of 40 blocks

-Height: The wall will be seven high so it will be easier for the defenders to shoot arrows

-The inside of the fortress would have bridges so that the defenders can easily navigate through the fortress.

-There will also be ladders on the inside for attackers who want to kill the defending Archers, however there will be something that the attackers have to destroy to get to the ladder (possibly another gate).

-The inside won't be empty, it would have many obstacles

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

Free For All - This event is as what it says, "free for all". The arena would be underground, I'm going to need help digging it out though, so volunteer if you want! The arena will also be circular like the Fortress Arena. In this event you will be working by yourself, if I see any teaming of any kind, you and your friend will be disqualified. The whole objective of the game is to be the last man standing. However, if you're just sitting in a corner and not doing anything, I'll shout something like, "Get Vod, he is hidin' in a corner!". Taking down as much people will give you respect and such. This event is all for fun and training.

Items given

-Each person will get chainmail, 16 arrows, and an iron axe or iron sword

-You can use the items you get from killing others, so it gives you a benefit to kill someone.

The arena

-Circular, between 40 and 70 in diameter

-Walls to take cover in to heal, shoot arrows, hide...

-Viewing area, the viewing area would be the same setup as in the current arena

Team vs Team - Fill in tomorrow

Before you say, "How will you possibly supply everyone?" Well since it's only for dwarves of the army and the guards, I only expect there to be 15 or even 10 people at each event. So each event I will probably only need 2 stacks of arrows. And as for the armor, it might change.

Post things you want me to change

Also for people who mess around, don't listen to me, the Lord Marshall, or whoever is leading the event will be fired and or banished. So take all orders that are given to you like, "line up", "You, go on this team", ect.

I really like this idea! Makes training more fun and gives you actual fighting experience.

[NapaseT 2]

Thank you! Add suggestions to it

[no longer active 734]

I have been building just such a thing in the guard training center. Meet me soon and I can show you it. But mine is a smaller scale.

[Hiebe 2493]

Very good i could help :)

[Mystronghold 52]

I like this as well. I can supply the arrows if you need some and maybe the armour.

[no longer active 734]

Nevermind

[sandonthefloor 2]

As Stronghold can testify I have built something exactly like this.

That is why you already stated that

[Flynn 31]

Perhaps, thee winnin' object can be just a book with ye signature sir. T'is way, we dont get any sneaky ones that bring a copy ove thee object.

[NapaseT 2]

Thank you for all the support and all, but I need one thing, how can people know who is on which team?

-skins would be too much trouble

-Pumpkins would ruin view for people

I need ideas!

As well as Hiebe, when the events begin, we're going to need a bank to store all the money in the army. So how about the Irongut bank, give us a discount or something?

[Flynn 31]

Thank you for all the support and all, but I need one thing, how can people know who is on which team?

Perhaps, we use leather armor. In war, ye armor not gonna be at full durability anyways, and ye might not 'ave full set ove it. Me suggestion be- One team can have only leather caps and legs, thee oder can have only leather tunics and boots. This will tell teams apart and at thee same time encourage 'em to be weary ove thee amount ove hits they take.

[NapaseT 2]

Ah thank ye for the suggestion Flynn, but I don't have many leather. I have a large amount of chainmail though and we can have the blacksmiths to repair it and get more skilled. Also I'm tryin' to make the armor for each team even. But ye made me research more 'bout usin' different combinations of armour. I have found that chainmail without the hat is equal to, chainmail with the hat and without the boots.

So basically one team will have chainmail boots, legs, and chest.

And the other team will have chainmail legs, chests, and helmet.

I have also added the description of Free For All

[Flynn 31]

Aye, thank ye fer thee kind words sir. Good suggestions fer thee arena, me be glad to help out! ((just got killed in battle so im waiting and bored :/))

[NapaseT 2]

You're welcome to help, I just need permission from Algrim and some other people on where to build it.

[Flynn 31]

Aye, thank ye sir. Ye welcome to thee guard trainin area, but it be surely too small. Also, I can repair thee chain if ye like.
