mr4 | game_mechanics | [Suggestion_6471]

Team Override.

On special screens, such as evil wizard battles and minibosses, all non-aldevar teams merge together against merlin. For one thing, this would avoid having problems(?) like mr3 where the magical alliance and the sarcastic prince vultures fought eachother rather than you in Ochre's screen.

I like Counclington or Hilsfar. Although I think I've heard Hilsfar used in another game.

megaman4ever, addresses in England are usually written much the same as you outlined for Finland. I wrote it out as sort-of-directions because I'm guessing that that is how addresses might have started out.

I really just like Aldevar.


aldevar sounds nice.


10 Apr 2010 [comment_30007]

Yeah but we don\'t want the council of the aldevar to come from aldevar or do we?

I like the wizard council of Aldevar, from Aldevar.

I like the council(seriously, I AGAIN put the other c as 's'.. It's so frustrating - how come I can't spell correctly anymore??) of Aldevar, and the town of northampton.

Yeah, you were correct, Steve. Ten points.

It was from some really lame DnD game ages ago I think. It was more lame than pool of radiance, but then again pool of radiance was cool.

It was more lame than...

EVERYTHING. It's probably the lamest thing that you could call a 'commercially producted game'.

What if they lived in a Wal*mart basement? I know, that's kinda weird/dumb, just popped into my head all the sudden.

P.S. Is Wal*mart in the UK?


13 Apr 2010 [comment_30260]

Not exactly, but the bought one of the biggest UK chains. I think it was Tesco or ASDA.

Make them collect model trains.

They need some sort of intellectual, money-wasting, and generally useless hobby.

Plus, it's symbolic. You're making their world, and they are making...an expensive model.

14 Apr 2010 [comment_30347]
NEW! Super_merlin
Seriously? That's like asking if a Jamaican has a Jamaican accent.


14 Apr 2010 [comment_30353]
NEW! steve
Actually, I'm glad you asked, it gives me an opportunity to get on my soap box.

*** gets on soap box and holds lapels of imaginary suit ***

To wit, I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as a British accent. What some Americans think of as a British accent is thought of within Britain as an English accent.

In order to have a properly British accent one would have to combine elements of English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish. Not to mention Polish, Indian, Irish, African, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Turkish and all the other accents that British people have.

By referring to the English accent as the British accent these particular Americans risk hinting at an underlying belief that Britain = England. You can probably get away with this in England (aside from some scoffing) but for your own safety, don't say it on a dark night in the middle of Glasgow (Glasgow is in Scotland).

*** gets down off soap box and throws it out of the windows ***

So in answer to the question "Do I have an English accent?" The answer is yes. Along with a few Irishisms.


14 Apr 2010 [comment_30376]
NEW! crazymerlinman321
Wow...long explanation.Well atleast i have an answer


15 Apr 2010 [comment_30404]

I think Wal*Mart owns ASDA.

And also you'd probably get murdered here in Wales. They're not as much into separating from England completely (too lazy) but they do vaguely hate English people.


15 Apr 2010 [comment_30414]
NEW! steve
Yes Bill Baily does a funny bit about the Welsh getting the assembly compared to the Scots.

But yes, the countries of the British Isles do hate the English more or less vaguely. I used to be quite disturbed by it but I've got used to it now.


17 Apr 2010 [comment_30486]
NEW! crazymerlinman321
Darren,why do you put a * in between wal and mart?Because doesn't it just say walmart?


17 Apr 2010 [comment_30502]
NEW! Darren
To be honest crazy, I only put it there because Hobbes did earlier and it was all I had to base it off. Since I live in the UK I don't really know much about this "Wal-Mart" creature. (is it a special shop for buying, um, walls? hehehe)

Ah, good old Bill Bailey. He's a hero XD
Another thing I've heard that seems true as far as I know:
The Welsh hate the English
The Scots hate the English
The Irish hate the English
The English hate everybody
So why do we call it the "United" Kingdom? (also, we don't have a king...)


17 Apr 2010 [comment_30503]
NEW! Hobbes
Crazy: Well what's how it was on all the signs for a really long time, they just changed it to one without the *, but I still use it because that was how it looked when I was growing up. See here it here...

Oh no wonder you guys kept saying ASDA.I wondered what it meant but now i know.So is ASDA like part of the walmart company or is it like a british walmart but not part of the company?

ASDA was a British super market which is now owned by Walmart.

Darren, it's more like this
The scots hate the English
the welsh hate the English
the irish hate the English
The English hate the French

See? We always hate the ones who are better than us. ;)

It's more like just giving more options to the map maker - you could compare it with adding more enemies. Nobody will have to use them, but they will be there in case someone wants to.

NEW! Darren
@Immortal_merlin: I know about ASDA/Wal*Mart. I thikn I said as much earlier. It was just a lame joke.
@steve: I like that XD (although the indication of English superiority I think some of my properly welsh mates would dispute)


18 Apr 2010 [comment_30675]
NEW! steve
@Darren So would my Irish friends, but now they have choices. Either carry on hating us and admit that we are better or admit that they are better and start feeling sorry for us.

Or admit that we are all about the same and not get all hung up on who killed who hundreds of years ago.


19 Apr 2010 [comment_30727]
NEW! Darren
I'm with the third option. Not that, as far as I know, there was any conflict between Wales and England. They just don't like the sheep thing XD


20 Apr 2010 [comment_30754]
NEW! steve
If you go back far enough there was conflict. The reason there are so many castles in Wales (more than any other area of Europe I believe) is because the English found the Welsh to be tough fighters and very difficult to control.

Why did the English invade? To impress the French. "they won't take us seriously if we can't even control our own island".

Anyway, I'm with you Darren, I prefer the third option.


21 Apr 2010 [comment_30794]

No I love the French. The have spread liberty, justice and good cooking around the world. They saved England from the Normans and America from the English.

And they scored a goal with their hand which put Ireland out of the world cup, which meant that for a few weeks, the Irish nearly hated someone else more that the English. :)

Don't they speak English in Wales?


23 Apr 2010 [comment_31007]
NEW! Darren
Depends where you are. All Welsh people CAN speak English. Around here (south) most people can't speak welsh, although there is a welsh-speaking school nearby.

Up in North Wales everybody speaks welsh. Most schools speak welsh, or at least do some subjects in welsh.
They take this as an opportunity to look down on us southerners. Because we speak English, and, um, the land's "a bit flat". Living in a valley I don't see this XD
(also we have all of the cities...)

I guess this relates to steve's theory. They hate us 'cause...we have stuff :D

24 Apr 2010 [comment_31156]
NEW! Roxblaster
Well, the British were the ones who allowed a variety show which had a host as a stuffed frog. No American company would broadcast it- they thought it would never catch on.

Not saying anyone's necessarily funnier, but I think that at any rate the BBC is far more open to new and experimental ideas.


25 Apr 2010 [comment_31237]

Well it's a tough battle but i don't get to see british comedy too much on tv or on any other appliance.


25 Apr 2010 [comment_31244]

Well, that would be because it's mainly only on the BBC. What network do you have?


25 Apr 2010 [comment_31252]

I get BBCA, which is simply BBC broadcasted in the States. When I watch TV (doesn't happen much), I like to check there first.

You can just press the channel you want to see with your remote though.. Unless you have different kind of remotes?

Yeah, it's definitely not easy to beat, but it's been a while since I played..

It sorta reminds me of touhou - the games are really hard to beat without any continues, especially on the harder difficutlies.

Okay. I have go t a basic version of this. It could be upgraded later for some more functionality but, currently, when you put a tam overide tile down on a room, any team that hates #aldevar (with priority) will only look for members of #aldevar, #monsterSummon, and #village.

Wait. Is it unfinished because of the goblin problem?


6 Nov 2010 [comment_40001]

Goblin problem?
This is nolonger done because I'm going to change it to use teams instead!

So if someone to make their own team override object, they could write in a team in the override's data, and everybody would join that team, so to speak. (They wouldn't really join it, just target as if they were)
Using the existing teams would not work especially well, so it would be advised to make a new team for each team override object. The current team that everybody will join is #blackSorceror, who happens to be the team that only targets merlin and his allies.

I'm debating whether or not to give the team override target teams, which would be an identifier for which teams change.


6 Nov 2010 [comment_40002]
NEW! steve
Yes I see the issue - it would be easier to make a block that causes all teams that are not the aldevar to target the aldevar.

Ok, what about this - there is a different block for each of the major teams.

Placing a block on a screen causes all other teams to 'gang up' on that team. The team that each block affects would be set in it's data file. (You would make a new parameter)

Just an idea - I don't know if that fits with what you've already done.


6 Nov 2010 [comment_40005]
NEW!
This is all withing team master.

I was thinking that if the team override block is in place, and if the team is one of the override's target teams, it would do its calculations as if it were part of the override's replacement team.
So, if there is an override that affects #goblins and #undead, and was on team #replacementTeam, then if in a goblin warrior were to run findTarget(), it would look through to see if its a #goblin or an #undead, then run calcTargetTeamsByAllegiance() as if he was actually on #replacementTeam.

I like your idea; its a lot easier on the computer, albeit without as many bells and whistles. I think I'll go with yours for now, and if there ever comes a time, when there is an excess of available processing power, I'll switch it over.(crossing my fingers for that one)
