Guest PhantomMenace Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 I disagree Rommel...unlike the surrealistic Starcraft where airpower can wipe out a base, its different in the realistic SWGB. In SWGB, air power does not take ground,...you gotta use it the way real airpower is used, for ground support, harrasment, and flanking. It is mech's in this game that rule the ground and take ground and the Naboo dont even get an upgraded heavy mech so you gonna find the Imps and the Trade Fed ownin a lot of peeps. Once again the league idea that Aoerat cooked up sounds awesome! Also, maybe you could put little planets inside the grids and give them a name like Hoth, Naboo and Tatooine and such. Maybe you could put a grid in the middle that is worth more to own than the others..like it could give you control of all adjacent grids by owning that one...just some ideas...also what does AOErat mean? Area of Effect rat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoErat Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi all: Thanks for bringing this up again. I've been thinking about it lately, and there is one large problem. A player could cheat the system by registering two names, one to each faction, and then falsly report a battle between his two accounts, thus gaining a square without actually fighting a battle. How can this be solved? I'm in need of suggestions - otherwise the idea will be too flawed to use. PhantomMenace: By making the grid larger, I thought to expand the time it took to complete one session of the league. Your idea to give factions more generic names is a good one. I will definately consider it. Also, the "AoE" in my name is for "Age Of Empires" (SWGB based in it's engine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhantomMenace Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Ahh...i see. I'm so used to people callin it AOK (Age of Kings) by now hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhantomMenace Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hmm...that sounds like a tough problem to solve...but i got an idea.. What you could do is have each faction leader control the descision for attacks and defenses and what member he will assign for each battle. You could then have that leader submit his attack plan and his member(s). Either to you, or to the target faction leader if you dont have time to manage this. They could make their attacks known on a form of message board that is reserved for strikes. Then the other faction leader prepares to defend and who he will assign to defend on that attack. One of the rules could be that leaders could not assign people to attack or defend back to back. Also the message board thing would be a good way for everyone including the other faction leaders to know who is doing what so they can make their own descisions. Hopefully, one guy wont be in control of two factions. With a faction leader callin the shots, they will make sure that one guy isnt throwing battles, or loosing battles on purpose against their team. Once again a league manager would be great, but if that is too time consuming, the presence of a faction leader, and forcing leaders to alternate players is good because then even if a guy is playing two sides, he wont be able to do it all the time. This is just an idea, its a tough topic..maybe somebody can build or add from this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 One way to do it, although this may be inconvinent, is to have a witness to every battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 that is actually a solid suggestion. That person could be something like a Games Master. It's a very solid way of monitoring the League-games. If you have about two / three Games Masters like this, you can put up a very workable system.

Guest dlayers Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Instead of a witness, just have them record the game and send that to a 'governing body/committe' for review, maybe a Senate appointed "Gaming Commission" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 I agree you should go generic and I also think you should allow other types of 'leagues' so that you could have specialized leagues of Imperial vs Rebels, Naboo vs Trade Fed, Imperial vs Wookies, Gungun vs Trade Fed and then some sort of 'twisted/alternative universe leagues' where you could have Rebels vs Trade Fed, Imperials vs Naboo, or even Rebs vs Naboo, Imperials vs Trade Fed to give Roleplayers a chance to write scenerio type leagues with story lines to make the leagues more interesting.

Guest crazy_dog Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Huh? This thread is like really old but it suddenly cropped up.. Oh, well, I geuss it's one of those things. What do u mean by combinig it with the senate, Leo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhantomMenace Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 well i bet when this thread first started the game was too far out, now that everyone has a demo and is playing the idea of a leauge comes to mind again. Any kind of league moderator sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 This still is being pursued isn't it? Phenominal idea with lots of possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoErat Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi all. Again, thanks for your suggestions. I've thought up several methods to catch abusers of the system by their IP, which should foil all but the most computer-savvy people who have lots of time on their hands. They can also be caught by checking how many games they have "won" in a row, and then asking for the recorded version of one or two. If they don't have them, you know they cheated. I am also thinking about having a solo-league, where the basic concept of conquering the grid/galaxy is present, but it is done on an individual basis, instead of team-based. dlayers: Yes, this idea is still being pursued.

Paragon_Leon Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 ...what i mean by combining the Senate with the league, is as follows: - The League takes place outside of the Senate - In the Senate, games are reviewed and discussed - Maybe even a code for league-gaming could be determined in the Senate - The Senate could pitch Senators against each other in the League to solve any conflict that might arise..
