This is an RPG where their is a castle in the kingdom of Donchester. Everyone in the kingdom was, originally, friendly and peace loving with their king. One day the king died. Their was, of course, a ceremony of the death, but people began to panic. this was simply because they king had no sons or daughters because he died of early age. In the old days, if this happened, the king title was usually given to the closest of the king's general. This kingdom, however, has many generals, all of which wanted the king's throne and the castle. The king told his closest general, Ivory, he was king. however no one liked him, so the kingdom broke out in war.

You are assuming the position of one of the kings generals, or a rising one from military ranks. you want to be the king, and its castle. But Ivory has closely gaurded the castle, and you will need lots of strength to defeat him and take the castle.

Character Sheet:

Name:
Visual Description:
Flag visual: (will be important if you take the castle, just describe what it looks like)
age: (between 20 and 50)
army: (leave blank at the moment, this will become important quickly)
Status: able to raid castle, not controlling it
Money: 0 (obtained from raiding)

IN THIS GAME THEIR WILL BE PVP. thats a no-brainer. EVERYONE will be trying to take the castle. You will start off with your choice of a unit, which you will use to raid the castle. raiding the castle is what this game is about. The person who controls the castle will have options on upgrading it and all of its defenses. these stats will be shown below. (currently the controller of the castle is ivory, who is AI controlled). I will descide the outcomes of ALL raids, you must say "im raiding the castle" when you do then i will calculate the outcome (which may take some time).

1ST UNIT OPTIONS:

light infantry lvl 1: (0/10 XP)
power: 5, melee
speed: 10
Cost: 50 gold
quicker then most units, light infantry gets the job done. melee, not to powerful, but levels up quickly

Heavy infantry lvl 1: (0/15 XP)
power: 10, melee
speed: 5
cost: 100 gold
powerful, slow, and hard to level up, these guys will be more of a later-in-game option (although they can be your 1st choice). but, they will crush most resistance at a small cost

Archers lvl 1: (0/10 XP)
power: 5, ranged
Speed: 15
cost: 75 gold
they are your immediate ranged option, cheap, and easy to use with a little strategy. they are no your best choice 1st thing, but will be big later on.

The above are your only options for starting. the blelow are some higher tier units.

Catapult lvl 1: (0/50 XP)
power: 50, ranged
Speed: stationary
cost: 500 gold
these bad boys will destroy anything unit, and take large portions of the castle walls or defenses before most fighting begins. these are hard to level up, but are the powerhouse of the competition

cannons lvl 1: (0/100 XP
power: 75, ranged
speed: 5
cost: 750 gold
these guys are an easy substitute for catapults, and can be moved. they are focused more on smashing units then they catapult, which is used for smashing castle defenses. hard to level up, yet very rewarding.

Brutes lvl 1: (0/30 XP)
power: 15, melee
speed: 10
cost: 150 gold
these are the more heavy hitting melee. they get the job done faster then anything else, leaving the competition behind. they are meduim-ish to level up, once you have basic units they are good.

those are just a small portion of what i have in stock. more units will be available if people actually get interested into this game, and i will have to think more in-depth about it. Units will level up. this is a big part of the game, and units gain XP passively when raiding. this is not perma-death, units heal after every raid.

Castle: (level 1)
current controller: ivory
defenses: 1 singular cannon (75 power)
units: 1 heavy infantry (10 power)
total power: 85
raidable: yes. (in some situations it might not be).

You may only raid once a day. your timer will be calculated judging by your post time, not mine. note theat you may fail, but will gain XP and gold every try.

thats about it! on your 1st post just give me character sheet, 1st unit pick, and any questions you may have.
You cannot raid the castle until after your 1st post, in case you have questions or did something wrong.

I hope this is a smashing sucess!

Is each 'unit' an entire army, or can we combine units to make an army like in Civilization?

each unit is part of your army as a whole. you cant combine units because they will combine themselves when put on the battlefield strategically. im trying not to make this like civ.

Name: Kito Soga
Visual Description: A skinny man, standing at 6'4"
Flag visual: A black dagger in the center, with a light purple background
Age: 20

you raid indeed. your luck roll is 9. you send your heavy infantry out in front of the castle. "a new challenger has arrived!" you hear someone say this in the background. a horn is blew, and rychus's men attack. they make quick work of you, and barely take casualties. you retreat, and rethink your strategies.

loot:
heavy infantry gains 3 XP!
you gain 75 gold!

remember, any change I add to your character sheet.

You raid once again! your luck roll was 3. tidal arranges his troops the way he did last time after you tell him this idea was genius. you stack 2 archers for every heavy inf unit, then attack. once again however, the battle results stay the same, and you lose by a small amount.

loot:
heavy infantry gains 2 XP!
archers gain 3 XP!
you gain 50 gold!
your archer units both level up to 2!

I raid once more but i spread my men out to a groups of four, each standing at least 3 foot away from each other to avoid cannon fire. In this formation we surround and march towards the castle.
