New recruits must read this guide and make their selections.

Enter your class ID and name in the name field ( ie [Fe]Munk).
You will be assigned a number to place next to your ID based upon when you enrolled in relation to other players and their class choices ( ie [Fe1], [Fe2], etc.).
Your weapon selection and class stats should be written in the comment field.
Roll D3s in the options field for attack actions.

We will be deploying for our first mission when enough recruits have gathered.

m8, itÄs not immidiately clear that that's floor at the bottom, and apperently jumping is a big deal in the game? This kind of map should really come with an explanation on how this is a side scroler.

But I'm up for it. But also: No round shields - why do you hate Austria?

I'll deploy 4A

no, on second thought, C4

>>1296878
How many players will you be waiting for, and what sort of post rate are you expecting?

>>1296916

Ah, should have made it clearer.

This is a sidescroller where the bottom is the ground floor.

>>1296931
right, and will the screen expand or is it a 4x5 screen for us? I'm asking because I have 3 move, so that would mean I couldn't plan ahead much at all.

>>1296929

About five or six at least, with more spawning each turn as they enroll.

Processing should take 20 minutes with few troops, an hour or more as the number of characters rise.

>>1296940
In that case, how many hours are you intending to run for per session?

>>1296942
skirmishes usually don't have sessions, they have a few turns every day as people post their actions.

>>1296946
Replying to the question of post rate in terms of minutes seemed to imply otherwise to me, but maybe I'm just being bad at reading.

>>1296953
That is true. I read it as "This is how long it would take me to do a turn once everybody posted" rather than "This is the frequency in which I will run it"

Just goes to show, don't answer questions not directed at you.

Does the Heater Shield require an action to actively be taken to activate its Defense Skill, or is its benefit passive?

>>1296953

Each player phase I'll wait at least an hour for players to post their actions. Sometimes the phase will be extended due to the number of players or the day. Then I'll end it and process.

Should be around 3 to 4 turns per day, spread out over the day.

If I'm reading it correctly, Vigor's description suggests you heal by action phases, not actions. So you'll regain the wound at the end of the next turn regardless of how many actions you take. Unless your intention is to stay out of enemy range?

"Thank you for saving me. You have my deepest gratitude for helping me in my darkest hour. I would reward you, but my coin lies in my manor's vault under the feet of these rebels.

Rather than meet us on the field, these guerrillas have attacked us at night. They've sacked our grain supplies and driven my serfs away from their home. Chess has not worked with these ruffians, for they have thrown the board away.

To complete our contract you must retake my manor from the Mallistas. The rebels have their best men there, but they are at a disadvantage: Sir Rovin here has crippled Blue Mallista with a poison, so command should be in disarray. The layout of the manor offers a few approaches to avoid the front watchtower (I shall draw you a map). And I offer access to arms, supplies, and the basic martial arts of Rovin's family in advance of pay."

Succeed, and I shall double your pay, support your mercenary ventures across the land, and recommend you to my fellow nobles. But first, I need to know your company's name.

Purchase page

Purchase Guide:

Classes - 20 Lira to unlock one Locked class for use. You can switch between any Free or Unlocked class at any time between missions. When choosing a class you have never been before, select your weapons like when you started: one 2H or two 1Hs.

Weapons - 10 Lira each, can select one from any Free or Unlocked class.
However, if you equip a weapon related to your current class, and use it for
one battle, then you can keep it as a pay.
After battle, you can select a new 2H or 1H weapon from your class.
Any bought/used weapon can be equipped by any class.

Move Abilities - 15 Lira each, you have to use class once before you can buy.
Bought move abilities can be used with other classes.


If you're a new player, there are new weapons you can choose from in the purchase page.

Some questions:
Would it be possible for us to get a cheat sheet on the terminology used (mainly 'Staggered' and 'Counterattacked') and their mechanical effects?

Do bought move abilities displace the standard move ability of the class you're using them on, or can characters have multiple move abilities at once?

Also, to reiterate an earlier point, are units without damage-dealing weapons (like Drum-carrying Gunners or Broom-wielding Lifeguards) then completely incapable of attacking?

Staggered - unit loses one action point next turn

Counterattacked - unit with defense skill makes an attack against the enemy who missed, at no action cost.

Frightened - affected unit cannot use any combat/defense/assist/support skills for VIG number of turns.

>>1314639

Counterattacks happen immediately after the missed attack, so will be processed during the phase it was triggered.

Panzers and gunners have 1 less skill point than the other classes in their same "tier"

Panzer VIG improved to 1.

>>1314917
Would that mean that Panzers will always get Tiger Claws' bonus, since they now either recover to unwounded at the start of their turn or are dead?

>>1314639
Do multiple cases of Staggered and Frightened stack? If so, what happens to a unit who loses more than 2 actions from Frightened?

On the topic of stacking effects, do multiple Banners stack their Def/Res bonuses?

>>1314990
you have to spend 1 turn doing nothing to recover a wound (2 for the other guys)

>>1314990
ailments can stack, and in the case of staggered you just lose your turn.
Some will have new or additional effects if you stack them, like frightened.

there are upper and lower limits for some of the core stats
Atk/Spd/Def/Res/Vig maximum is 4, minimum is 0.

>>1314990
>>1314995

For VIG, wording choice was poor in player's guide.
Your recovery is only dependent on time, not by anything you do. So you can still act during your turn.
VIG of 1 means you have to experience one action phase with the ailment or wound.
