Lastly, choose a tile to deploy in one of these highlighted deploy zones.


Welcome to Landskirmish. This is a turn based tactical online boardgame where you play as a mercenary. You have two action points per turn, and the first to post is the first to act. You may create your character at any time during the mission and you will be deployed during the next player phase. Choose a deploy tile or one will be chosen for you.

Post rate will be every hour.

>>1332699
I have no time to participate, but that map is dope.

Copying over what I had last time, and correcting some errors. Might switch out the choice of weapon depending on who else deploys.

Incidentally, is 'Switch equipped weapon(s) with items in inventory' a valid action?

May as well see if we can't take this guy out then.

I'm still not too clear on what the procedure is for dying. Do Helmut and I lose anything?

>>1334397
The rules for death are:

You keep all Lira, unlocked classes, and the record of any classes you have played with for at least one mission and survived. You can use your Lira to purchase those move abilities of played classes for a new character.

You lose any weapons and move abilities you had, even those in inventory. You can pick all of them up from your dead character's corpse.
If the battle finishes before anyone picks that stuff up, then you can choose one thing from the following: a bought weapon, a weapon you kept from last mission, a bought move ability. The rest go up for auction at half price, available for purchase from any player, and the first who pays gets it. Anything not bought will expire by the start of the next mission.

>>1334397
>>1334449

In the case of getting your body back or not, and receiving a move ability that you have already bought for your new character, you now have double of those move abilities in your inventory. Maybe you could trade it with someone else for a deal, or sell it at half price.

>>1334449
Could I then have redeployed again as a Fencer, in order to gain its weapon and potentially move ability, or does dying once invalidate all classes played for the session?

And is a Broom required to pick up items from corpses, or do they just grant additional bonuses?

>>1334476
Example:

Your character died and they had bought Fly.

You create a new character during the same mission, using leftover Lira to buy Fly since you have played Lifeguard before. The mission finishes and no one picks up the loot from your corpse, so you choose to get Fly from the remains while the rest is auctioned. You now have two of Fly in your inventory.

>>1334479
Yes you could have redeployed and done so. But since I didn't have the rules up, I'll count any class you died as during this session as played.

Broom picks up items as a bonus, you can pick up without it. It's mainly for getting rid of bodies and tile hazards.

Are there rules for shooting outside of the stated range, or is it just an auto miss?

>>1335963
So far you can only shoot outside downward, and I'm writing rules up for outside straight/upward. Since you rolled a 3 and were relatively close, that would have passed.

>Gunner
To repeat something that was said last thread, why is it that the Gunner has reduced stats compared to other classes? Presumably it is because they start with ranged options, but can't another class just purchase the Gunner's weapons? I'm looking particularly at the Lifeguard, which has +1RES/+1MOV over the Gunner and Flight as well.

As I've typed this up I've re-read the Gunner Climb ability and noticed that you can only climb vertically. Excuse me, here are my actions this round instead:
>>1336214

>>1336424

Ranged weapons. Due to how much gameplay has changed though, I've been planning to add +1 RES to gunners after this mission.

aaaaaand the big guy's down.

>>1336424
>>1336518
It's important to note that not all stats are equal.

So far, Def has been far more relevant than Res due to how much more common kinetic weapons have been compared to energy weapons. This was especially apparent in the first mission. We're seeing more Energy damage now, but notably all melee weapons still seem to be kinetic.


Mov gives diminishing returns. While a Panzer is somewhat screwed due to his inability to keep up with the front line, I didn't notice so much of a detriment playing a Flying Fencer as compared to a Flying Lifeguard.

In general, all you need for movement seems to be 'as much as everyone else has'. A character with much Mov and little Def will just end up moving up ahead of everyone else and dying rather like I did.


Vig is interesting - its usefulness depends on how many attacks you're being targeted by and how your defensive stats compare to their weapons. The more incoming attacks you take, the more likely it is that you're not going to survive the current round, making however much Vig you have pointless.

Similarly, if your defenses are absurdly high, you'll never take a wound in the first place, making your Vig pointless again.

This is, incidentally, why Panzers seem like they might not work that well in practice, at least to me. Though Bob weathering all those Spies' attacks without taking a scratch earlier was pretty hilarious.

>>1336560
well there goes my plan to loot all the corpses before the end of the mission

>>1336568
Striking a balance between looting all of the bodies and your comrades hating you for not contributing to the fight... A delicate task to be sure!

>>1336560
W-we get points for enemies who surrender, r-right?

The optimal strategy can't be to farm points by ignoring the boss and going for all the mobs first. That would be ridiculous, and also a waste of time.

Surely.

>>1336574
well you see we get points for kills and wounds... I'll let you figure the most efficient way to farm liras

This mission offers double the participation reward.

Each player shall receive 40 Lira.
For each wound given to an enemy, add 5.
For each kill, add 10.
Wounding Blue Mallista (the big guy) nets double the pay: wounds are 10, killing him 20.

>>1336587
Yes, but the rules knowingly being designed to encourage stalling for as long as possible to maximize looting, wounding and killing seems rather absurd.

The optimal strategy then becomes something like moving about as a single-tile phalanx of Parasol+Katzbalger and Riot Shield+Katzbalger Panzers supported by a Banner+Bomb Panzer with Rampart in the second row, that just slowly chews through everything while being largely untouchable.

>>1336610
All these figures are halved for D'Canella and I, right?

Out of the spoils, we get access to the Peltast and Spy classes, as well as their equips.

Schwarz and Grigori need to choose a spoil from their respective dead relatives.

Wilfred Schwarz
- Fly
- Messer
- Heater Shield

Helmut D'Canella
- Katzbalger
- Heater Shield
- Fly

Those not chosen will be offered for half price, but it's not much.

Will be taking Fly. It's pretty invaluable for not having to care about movement.

Flamberge from my inventory not up for grabs, though?

>>1336663
>>1336620
can you claim liras for kills and wounds of the same guy?

>>1336676
Hopefully. It'd be harder keeping track of the non-boss enemies if we can't.

Also it'd slightly discourage attacking the same enemy twice in situations where a one-hit kill is possible.

>>1336615
Just for the ones from your first characters.

Will hold off on purchases for a while. Hopefully a weapon will catch my eye on my next read-through.

I now fear the time when we meet a group of enemy veterans, and they're all Flying Spies sniping us invisibly with ranged weapons from the top of the map.

Added a jump bonus to Chopines, and Boots for panzer ( a MOV bonus for walking).

Also, there is not inventory limit. You can sell stuff you don't want for half the Lira price.

I was trying to decide whether the Chopines were worth the lira, but the jump bonus sold me. Is the Stagger 'attack' supposed to use an action, or is it a passive trait? I don't know if this will work, but it might be a bit of fun:

HMM.


Seriously though, would slinging Banners and Flags count as a valid planting? If so, it could be a useful way for slower, tankier units to deploy ahead of everyone else.

Would you consider implementing an item (perhaps a shield) that improves Vigor when wielded? That way, wounded units spend less downtime hiding while vulnerable, at the expense of actions to swap loadouts.

Made some changes:

Bucklers have become common items
Fencers get Estocs
Gunners get Cannons
Hoplites get Javelins, and Vexillum's skill has been changed to a VIG buff.
Lifeguard Saber SPD increased to 3, and Parasol's Assist can be used during flight.
Panzers have the choice of a single Tigerclaw
Executioners have Fork range improved from 0~1 to 0~2.

>>1342291
How does 0 vig work?
also dat cannon

>>1342335
like VIG 1 where you wait a full turn to heal wounds, but you are impervious to ailments

>>1342291
Is there any reason Tiger Claws and Grab are implemented in such a way that an additional weapon has to be purchased in order for the weapon to be used two-handed instead of one-handed? Tiger Claws, in particular, can be used in only one way on first deployment (without additional purchases), since we can't start with both the two-handed and one-handed version, which seems a little odd.

If I might make a suggestion, depending on how you want them to be priced, you might instead consider having a one-handed Tiger Claw that allows you to make an additional attack with an identical weapon in the offhand; or a version that is two-handed by default, but can be wielded one-handed with a penalty (to SPD).

Similarly, Grab might be as it is now, or a two-handed weapon that can be wielded one-handed at the cost of using the second support skill.


Other thoughts:
>How does Cannon interact with the Hoplite's Rampart ability?
>Do Boots not affect fliers' movement in general, or can they choose to walk on a surface instead of fly in order to gain the benefit?
>Spies could probably do with some other weapon options - Dirk and the common weapons are their only damage options - especially since their movement ability revolves around them being far away from enemies, while their weapons encourage them to be at range 0.
>You probably want to add a line on Grab about Bind effect only functioning as long as the user doesn't move out of the same tile as his target, or else that the target is dragged along at reduced speed.

Also, roughly when might we expect the next session to be?

>>1342291
The cannon is beautiful, such a shame that it doesn't work with what I'm going for.

Flying is king, you might be able to nerf it a bit by requiring fliers to spend one of their actions moving or stall.

>>1342355
Thanks for the suggestions, these fix some of the problems I was having with them but wasn't able to address.

I'll treat Grab like a technique for your hands rather than a weapon. Something to buy for your hands like boots and chopines are for your feet. That way you can go double or single as you please.

Tigerclaws will be bought as doubles but can be used separately.

As your your other questions:

Rampart acts on the user, so if you can't move through rampart then neither can the cannon.

Boots don't affect Fliers in general.

There are a few ranged weapons and fists I'm waiting to add after this next mission.

Next session should be next week, though I'm not yet sure which day it will be.

>>1342933
>Rampart acts on the user, so if you can't move through rampart then neither can the cannon.
I was actually thinking of how the cannon is classed as a weapon (even if it's got numerous caveats that almost make it more like a separate unit at times) and would hence allow Rampart's effect to be applied at a far greater range than any other weapon so far. Is this intentional?

>>1342979
No. Now I need to change the wording.

File: landskirmish classes rampart.png (339 KB, 1325x4050)

above changes made to Tigerclaws and Grab. Artillery pieces do not work with Hoplite's Rampart ability.

>>1343045
Do you need to move 3+ spaces the same turn you attack to proc the fencer's charge ability or can you move 3 spaces and attack next turn? Is moving 2 spaces end then 1 space considered 3 for the charge?

>>1344884
Has to be same turn
