Strategic Fantasy STGOD

Post by Zor »

One thing that i rather liked was the strategic Fantasy Crossover STGOD that was put up a while ago. So i was thinking about trying to start up a new one.

Easily bribed to stand down (half training cost) or switch sides (training cost).
Default-In General willing to fight to the Death, although they are only human. Generally will not defect, but they will often break if overwhelmed and you may see at least some of them switch sides if their forces are broken and there is no alternative.

Fanatics (3 Points infantry, 6 points cavalry)-The loyalty of Fanatics is unquestioned.

Medical Priestess (3 Points)-A small team of a unarmed ladies who are good with medicine with healing psionic powers, very useful for keeping your men alive.

Gunpowder Weapons

To make use of Gunpowder weapons, you need to buy the capacity to produce gunpowder in bulk. The default state is that you can not do so. Capacity to produce enough gunpowder weapons costs 2,500 points. This allows you to produce basic firearms and rockets, for cannons you need cannon founderies (500 points). It takes a few years to develop

Training Cost
1 Mark for every point expended per unit
Yearly upkeep costs 20% of the price minus loyalty

Examples

Shame that last try at 'Fantasy Warlords' didn't actually start. I guess everyone was too busy with SDNWorld XXVII?

The usual question applies, 'how structured'. 'Strategic fantasy' makes me think 'close to an actual wargame'.

While Starglider's question is of course important. Another question is why are cannons and galleons not mentioned in the rules except in passing?

I might be interested in getting involved if things are sufficiently loose and flexible. Though we better make sure the game starts at the point everyone wants to play unlike with last game of this ilk.

Alrighters now the important questions are the one posed by starglider and the vital one of if we can gather up enough interest for these medieval ish shennanigans to be viable.

Though i have my own less important questions such as:
I'm allowed to draw outside the box set by the rules right? new races and such.
Are we allowed more magic than merely medical priestess's and if so what restrictions are placed on it?

And deficiencies i see in the rules so far:
Rules for boats
Price of artillery
Wagons, they're mentioned but not costed or expounded upon.
Castles.

And thus another question is added to the list, what the devil are Cynataurs?

They are like giant swans, except that there is a humanoid torso in the place of the neck. This is actually a more plausible configuration for a large flying creature than a birdlike humanoid (particularly due to keel depth, also streamlining and weight distribution - sticking wings onto humanoid backs is generally impractical).

Okay i reckon a better way to attract attention to this project and hopefully garner players for it is to have some idea of background. For that reason i present the questions:

Is it set in an alternate version of medieval earth/europe?
Personally i'd vote for an exotic new world geography though that does increase the amount of effort required.

History needs to be provided either from the point of splitting onwards like with the last one and the tomb of Jesus or the history of the new world from whatever major event started the era.

I'd prefer a blank-slate setup, like with the Space STGOD, but I'll bite.
Conversion Table:

2000 Mockingbirds = 2 Kilomockingbirds
Basic Unit of Laryngitis = 1 Hoarsepower
453.6 Graham Crackers = 1 Pound Cake
1 Kilogram of Falling Figs - 1 Fig Newton
Time Between Slipping on a Banana Peel and Smacking the Pavement = 1 Bananosecond
Half of a Large Intestine = 1 Semicolon

Shall we have everyone draw their own part of the map within reason? just as an idea for doing a new earth sorta map as we're two ayes towards that idea already. Alternately we could have someone come up with a map somehow.

Though that does still leave the question of history for the world. But i suppose we could just throw that together once some people start building their nations.

Post by Zor »

Sorry for the Delay, the file got erased earlier this week and there was a lot of things to do this week.

---
Ships

Categories

Green Water Ships-(Dhows, Galleys, Galleasses) 1 point per 25 tonnes. Green Water ships are able to fuction well close to the coast, but are ill suited to the open ocean.
Blue water Ships-(Junks, Longships, Galleons) 2 points per 25 Tonnes. Well suited to the open ocean and better able to take storms.

Note-I am willing to take some suggestions on ship classes.

Oars: Galleys, Galleasses and Longships have oars. Oars allow a greater deal of maneuverability and short linier speed, but take up space and volume and require rowers.

Masts-Ships under 250 tonnes have a single mast as a default, those over 250 tonnes get two masts as a default. Each Additional mast costs 15 points.

Crews (Point costs for combat related material are the same as for infantry, although sailors can not make use of shields or bows, can not buy logistics or special infantry traits and are limited to level 3 ranged weapons, combat training and armor)

Rowers
1 Point per hundred

Galley Slaves-(50% off) Galley Slaves are the cheapest method of manning the oars. Kept chained up in squalor to row the ship under threat of the lash and barely fed, Galley Slaves will keep a ship moving, but in battle they will not fight against borders unless you are loosing, in which case they will generally lash out against their masters.
Default-Free Rowers, volunteers which have signed up to serve as rowers in exchange for rations, alcohol and possibly a few items of loot after battle. Will fight to defend their ship.
2 Points-Professional Rowers, Drilled and disciplined free rowers that work for actual wages. Gives you a speed advantage.

Sailors
Humans-2 Point per 100
Dwarves-6 Points per 100

Sailing Quality
Default-Random press ganged sods that have only the most basic understanding of how to operate a ship and generally need supervision to avoid disaster.
1-Some people who know the basics of sailing, but are still novices compared to more experienced seamen.
3-Respectable mariners which are more than capable of operating a ship well, but are still not the best.
5-Elite Crews, if you want to sail around the world, these are the men you want. Top notch, good swimmers

Naval Officers
Human-10 Points per 100
Dwarves-15 Points per 100
Officers keep a ship working properly, keep records organize things and serve as the brains of the outfit. If you man your fleet with press ganged sods, it will be the officers which keep them from capsizing the ship before the leave sight of port. For the best effect a ratio of one officer per 10 sailors or 15 rowers works well.

Non Gunpowder Weapons

Ballista-(3 Points) a large repeating crossbow used to shish kebab people on enemy ships and grab hold of them using harpoons and windlasses
Corvus-(5 points) a specially designed ramp with claw used to make boarding actions a whole lot easier
Ramming prow-(10 Points), a heavy bronze ram for crashing into the hulls of enemy ships
Flame Thrower-(50 Points): A device that shoots out pressurized flammable liquids out of a forward nosel with a range of about 30 meters. Please note that having such a device means that you have substantial reservoir of highly combustible liquid onboard. Requires a crew of fifteen.
Fire Trebuchet-(100 Points, limit one per ship): A Trebuchet on a rotating base that fires ceramic jaws of pitch or Greek Fire with burning oily rags wrapped around them.
Gill Tar-(5 points) your ship is equipped with a supply of a black oily liquid which has the notable feature of being highly irritable for anything which has gills, with prolonged exposure being deadly. Useful for repelling underwater attackers

Gunpowder Weapons
Swivel Guns (1 Point each)-Small breach loading cannon mounted on rotating bases.
Cannons
1 point per every kilogram of caliber until 12 kilos
2 points per every kilogram of caliber above 12kilos
Blasting Petards-(10 points) A supply of small explosives for killing underwater attackers via shockwaves.

Other
Wind Mage (5 Points) Wind Mages are magic users with aerokinetic abilities, thus allowing sailing ships to generate their own wind for moving. This is somewhat taxing and wind mages can at best keep it up for three or four hours a day.
Hydromancer (20 Points) Hydromancers are Hydrokinetic magic users. Their abilities include being able to create waves that can push away ships, form chunks of ice up to 2 meters in diameter (doing so takes about a minute to do and doing more than a few in a hours time drains them) and remove salt from seawater.
Medical Priestesses-(3 points)
Launch-(1 Point each) A 5 meter long rowboat. Useful for landings and escaping sinking ships.
Iron plating (1 point per 5 tonnes of default weight), gives your ships an iron roof similar to Korean Turtle ships.

Ship Building
Drydock-(50 Points) A dedicated Drydock which builds ships at a rate of a week per 10 tonnes. Requires a city with a population of 25,000 people. Each additional Drydock requires another 25,000 people per city.
Assembly Yard-(250 points) similar to the Shipyards of Venice, an Assembly Yard is capable of producing standardized ships up to 200 tonnes at a rate of one per day. Requires a city with a population of at least 100,000

Examples

Sailors

Zorian second class sailors
Second class sailors make up the bulk of the Zorian Navy.

Human Sailors (2 Points)
Seamanship 3 Points
Melee Weapons 2 Points (Naginata and Gladii)
Ranged Weapons 3 points (Crossbows and Matchlock pistols)

Loyalty-Fanatics (3 Points)
Total Cost: 23 Points
Training Costs 23 points
Total cost per year 4 marks

Ships


Zorian War Galley
Background Info: Produced in bulk, War Galleys are the backbone of the Azure Sea Fleet of the Zorian Empire. Easy to produce, maneuverable and cheap, war galleys can devastate the ships of more primitive powers via cannonade.
Weight 150 Points (5 Points)
Masts-One
Crew
100 Free Rowers (1 Point)
50 second class sailors (6 points)
12 Officers (3.32 Points)

I plan on using the SD.net World approach to combat, Pikemen are good against cavalry and people write about how their forces will deal with Pikemen. It does not mean that pikemen have a +15 attack bonus against mounted foes. This system is for determining the crunchy matters like how many soldiers you have and what type they are.

Hey, if you were looking for enough players to actually get going with this I'd love to give a STGOD a try they seem like much fun, a fair bit of work, bu much fun.
This odyssey, this, exodus. Do we journey toward the promised land, or into the valley of the kings? Three decades ago I envisioned a new future for our species, and now that we are on the brink of realizing my dream, I feel only solitude, and regret. Has my entire life's work been a fool's crusade? Have I led my people into this desert, only to die?

OK. I tend toward making complicated rules, but this is waaaaaay the fuck too complicated for a board playable game. I am currently working on a ruleset which is much less difficult to work with. Will probably post it to its own thread once finished. Though it wont be fantasy. I am going for gritty medieval realism ;)

Having never played one before this one makes me curious and If you are willing to deal with an epic noob on the subject I would be willing to take a crack at it.
You will see the tears of time.
