Huh? So our hitpoints are higher when we're about to level?

Does this make sense only in Greece or something?

Oh yeah, so my HP will replenish after each post until I level up, at which point they drop to 0 again.

Wish I didn't return now, for this all leaves me very confused . BTW, kinda silly to have 5.25 posts per day, while I make 40+ posts some day... but as for the letters, I'm confused .

Markos, care to change them to proper words? Still breaking head at the meaning of it all.

Mark,
If these stats are left in the profile section only, within two weeks they will be forgotten and ignored by all the regulars. All we'll see is an occasional thread in the OT by a newbie asking what the heck they are, and the regulars will routinely answer for the post count. To add to the fun one of two things must be done.

1. Post then again under the avatars. But since the calcs are a little inconsistent in terms of value, the interest will fade, just a little more slowly.

2. Are you ready for this one. PERSONAL CHALANGES
The algorythms for D&D style combats are not complex. They've been around for so long that there are probably many floating around for free. Think of the potential. Any animation would be hilarious. EVC goes on a tirade and goes over the edge. "I challange you to a duel" or even team combats (to even up the odds so a Ming wouldn't win everytime)

This could be a great concept if taken to it's logical conclusion. Think of all the extra posts that it would generate.

RAH
I am not joking. Crazy maybe, but serious.

And panag (and Ming) answered to Asher perfectly, so why would he (Mark) have to respond in a serious way?

I like rah's idea. And I would like my Immortality to be taken into account.

I like the Civ 3 combat formula, since its obvious that we spearmen (lower level people) will be up against tanks (Ming, et al). Taking that analogy to its logical conclusion using the Civ 3 combat model...

I am a fan of Rah's idea... however I'm wondering a little about why it would be posted on a Civ site...

unless you guys are about to start expanding into other realms too...

A: 22 | D: 66 | M: 25 | HP: 34

Boy, I'm a quick medium guy...

Edit: ((Updated stats and added smilies...)) and another thought... wouldn't different "units" (I'm more of a CTP player, after all) have different abilities...

If you go the Rah combat strategy then we'd need to be able to choose an area that our unit would be part of (ie. land, sea, air, space, all, etc.)

Personally it's starting to smell like just an old-time MUD rather than Civ anymore after all the customizations.

No, A civ2 combat would work fine. I just figured there would be less copywrite issues with D&D style since it's been around longer and been modified/ripped off so many more times. More freeware in this mode.

Actually, I like Skanky Burns's idea. So the weaker person has a higher chance to win.

Any algorythm would keep the idea entertaining.

Think of the fun of MING VS AH.

All the specs are there.

You don't even need all of it, a simplified version would be sufficient.
