Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, in some maps said geo symbol will show up, be wary however, as just because it's going to show up, doesn't mean it'll work in such an abusive way as before.



As of the moment, you can't, although anyone in the guild itself is allowed to join. If you need members, why don't you advertise the guild?

Yes, so far I have decided on three neutral types:

Compliants, these turn hostile if attacked, and generally flee everyone.

Supporters, Will cast buffs and healing on their allied faction, but runs from all other factions.

Hostiles, Generally, when you invade a unoccupied hex, the resistance force is nothing but Hostiles, Hostiles can be aligned, or neutral. Aligned simply ignore their allied faction, neutrals attack everyone.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this...

Are you talking about the large size of the Capitol hexes? That's meant to be. The capitol hexes, in addition to town, and temple hexes, are all 40x40 square panels, making them harder to capture.

All of the hexes will have secondary overlay maps indicating height, and pathable squares so that people can tell how the various movements on each square will work.

I'm hoping that answered your question, but I'm not sure what "Weird Kind of Half Line Hexes" are.

You may invite as many people as you want to join your faction. Please remember to tell those who aren't yet in the guild itself to send a join request. I will make a warning however: I have no intention to allow one team to get excessive numbers compared to any other, and as such, will be moving players from one team to another when it seems absolutely needed to maintain balance.

The cities layouts, as well as what is in them, is decidable by the overlord, as well as the factions players to a large extent. I might be able to get some concept art out, as well as overlay maps if desired, however aside from that, the features of a city will be relatively dependent on the players. There will be features of the city that will be improved through various assembly bills, however those may not reflect how the city grounds are RPed. Please remember, this is still an RP.

Standing around in your own base won't earn you any rewards, however, taking control of an enemy base will.

This depends on your definition of interesting. I can't exactly enforce any RP traits, and as such, the only way I can truly put interesting things in is by giving a full word overview of the city. Although I will be doing that all the same.

All monsters from the first game, and, as I reverse extrapolate the data, monsters from other games as well will all appear in this game.

Now honestly, you don't think I would use my own title deliberately like that? Of course I'll be in the game. I won't be taking an aggressive stance however, I don't want to kill everyone.

Expect the unexpected. I won't reveal too much on this yet, but I do have an interesting plan.

Define nPC, do you mean not controlled by the standard faction team players? Yes then.

A couple things, depending. First of all, when the faction loses, everyone on that faction loses a portion of their stats, and may choose to reincarnate on either of the two remaining teams, assuming it was one of the other two factions who successfully captured them.

If the central faction captured them, as per the rules, A game loss against all players are called, and we simply go to the next cycle.

When the overlord is wiped out away from faction, the people who took out said overlord recieve a bit of mana and... nothing. If the faction is wiped out as their capitol is captured, then the capturing team receives impressive benefits, ranging from mana, to items.

Regardless of what happens, all players on said faction will be able to choose from the remaining factions, and carry a portion of their stats with them.

You play ^_^ I expect the game to take awhile, it's not going to be called in the first several minutes is it?

I plan to run each cycle for about 3 or 4 months, although it will vary, I'm pretty sure later cycles will start off deadlier, and the first few will involve near tutorial difficulty starting battles.

Well, bare minimum there will be... 17 nPCs that I can confirm. More will likely show up through various means.

Enemies will have stratagems, meaning each particular enemy will have something that it will maintain doing, under specific conditions. Stratagems will be layered, especially the harder the enemies get, allowing them to respond more and more specifically to various tactics. An example is staggered close, staggered, line, stratagem; If any attack mages are on the map, and at least one IDed ally with an ID lower than current monster has been killed, they move to the position indicated by the difference in ID numbers. If all enemies remain, they simply take their ID position among the formation. If no enemy mages are available, they instead line up to enter formation.

A few things, first, all players on that faction are allowed to nominate any member, as well as recalled to their capitol. Next, an immense voting session takes place, with 1 vote taking up 1 turn. The player's who received the three lowest votes will be dropped each time, with tied scores dropping all members, excepting if everyone votes for them self. In that case, it's simply another vote. The vote continues until one player can obtain a vote of at least 3/4ths of their faction.

The player who receives said votes will be declared the new overlord. They will NOT obtain any of the original Overlord bonuses, although they will absorb the mana that the previous Overlord had.

Nope. I expect alot more questions than this, and so I'm perfectly fine answering everything you want.

If they were gone long enough to warrant a change in command, then they certainly don't deserve to be given it back. If someone tells me ahead of time they'll be away for a certain time frame, that's different, see next question.

Yes. There are three methods:

First, there is simple spoken authority, this is simple enough to give and retract, and is as formal as simply announcing to one's faction who's ranked above who.

Second, an overlord can choose to expend mana to give them Assembly powers, this allows the player being given powers to perform all the basic functions that an overlord normally controls such as Opening combat, moving defenses, and improving equipment.

Finally, an Overlord may perform a command transfer, this costs 2/3rds of the overlord's mana minimum, and places a new player as the overlord, while leaving the Overlord simply with Assembly powers.

I've mentioned before that if 1 team begins gathering too many players, I'll be distributing the players to an even number of players. If one team gathers a huge lead in levels on the other hand, the repercussions will vary. If the skill of the team is due to the Overlord, than I won't be punishing the team for that. If it's due to being far more active than another team, I'll be moving active members to get a relatively balanced active count on each team.


Overlords have the class Overlord. They receive 4 semi-unique skills at levels 5, 20, 50, and 100. Overlords with high int receive attack magic, overlords with high res receive healing magic. An Overlord can learn weapon techniques as normal, and can learn skills through the Extra gain system once released.

An Overlord chooses to use either only monster weapons, or human weapons. In either case it's merely having an A in weapon mastery on every weapon.

No, an A in all weapons is already pretty high, if you look at the original game an A is still a pretty fast learning speed for weapons. Further, the letters mean nothing, they're merely the gauges to how high the numbers underneath are. Thus saying drop one A, raise one S might not mean the same depending on the weapons.


There's no ultimate treasures, or anything like that anyway, there will be a few interesting things to do though if you wanted.

I'll say this: Nothings absolutely useless. There will be reasons to use those weapons, for now however, I can't reveal them.

Overlords will be changing at least once a cycle, possibly more if people disappear mid cycle. That said, I'd rather have one overlord a cycle, rather than more, as that makes things harder for me.

Yup. There's a variety of new classes, and all the old ones will be available.

For most of the standard monsters, yes. There will be some special requirement monsters out there, so try different things, alright?

Well, it won't really look good to be asking someone who's on another team to join you, but aside from that, yea, you can ask just about anyone.

Baal says:
It's probably easiest to look at the member list, which is woefully empty right now, if you're in the guild. There's a button next to 'guild forum' in the guild navigation bar. I suggest recruiting from outside the guild once the game is in full swing. Chances are most people will have joined a team.



Baal says:
Definably yes... However, this is because some secrets are mobile in nature. Specific hexes have their own secrets, but there isn't a secret in every hex.



Baal says:
You'll notice that I've hidden little easter eggs all over.
