There's a lot of black on black going on. It is possible to get the bugs in green or chaos in full red or something more contrasty like that?
Yeah, figured that out already and added a more colorful icon variants.
I think I am going to keep Chaos as is, as it is still quite well visible due to the red shade. Don't you think?
…. it was a mistake. Oh Emperor it was a mistake! Make them go away!
and ya... better? Worse? Definitely more clear...
Hip that's what happens if a Hive World sized cancer starts spreading...
Time to purge it with fire.
Also, I just realized that I'm rather concentrated starting off. Oh well. :)
I'm excited to see this get rolling for realz!
Things to do for you folks:
- Place your game pieces on the map. Your biggest macro unit and up to half your total forces will be in the hope system. The rest, can be placed either in one of your 'holds' or any currently uncontested Imperial system on the map. One macro unit may be placed in a contested system.
- Write up a Round 0 report for your holds. How is their resource status. Trade routes interrupted? Enemy actions in-system? What is the general situation on your planets (free-form here, remember: go nuts, stay fluff).
- start your IC Telco about how to proceed from here on out
- ask questions :-)
Feel free to copy my post and use it as a template if you wish.
@all: Our Lord General informed me, that he cannot scrap enough time to do this game justice due to increased work load on his side.
@all_v2: How is your status? I'd like to keep us moving, if at slow pace, but I currently only see Choon working on his round_0 status.
Any open questions or stuff I should be aware of that keeps you guys from establishing your round 0 report?
Round 0 is coming on my end but going slowly.
Despite Choons awesome work with the template round 0 is where everything has to be written(thought) up for a start.
I believe it will be easier(faster) in subsequent rounds because only the delta to the previous rounds will have to be tracked rather than everything thought up from 0
(and the tactics map / onenote can be a little B on mobile/subway internet so I'm even slower until I got the rules down. Sorry about that)
I probably should also clean up the game system section quite a bit to be honest.
There is a lot of brainstorming and outdated stuff still in there...
@Map: If it is easier for you, you can always just edit your map offline with any tool of your liking and just upload it into the slide thing once you have a stable connection again
A clean rule section would indeed help me a lot.
I'm currently trying to figure out what resources my 'holding' worlds generate.
Dastea - Death World - Minima - Delta Tau
Gilia - 4z31 - Research Station - Exactus - Rho (kinda disagree with the 0/0/0 here as this world is supposed to produce the 'secret' chapter only tech)
Hastea - Agri World - Aptus Non - Alpha
Olrabos - Forge World - Exactus - Phi
Reenus - Hive World - Vexilius - Eta
How would I assign the classifications? None of my worlds are technically 'Adeptus Astartes Homeworld's yet they kinda are.
Just pick a classification I think would work for the world?
The should be slots listed in the planet raw data of the resources spreadsheet. If you disagree with what's been entered we can certainly look at changing it. They're your holds, after all.
Errr, where do I find this resources spreadsheet? I was going by One Note > The Game System > [WiP]Planet Stats & Development
One Note > The Game System > Resources is not a spreadsheet(or lists any planet data) so that doesn't look like what you're talking about either
This is why we need a little re-organization, I agree.
Under the quick links in Discord is a planet spreadsheet. Should be the first one. The second tab of that spreadsheet should have all the data you'll need.
Ah, so much easier to just look it up. Thanks!
Still, Research Station Gilia-4z31 isn't listed under `raw`. I'll need data for
that
Totaling the other planets I have the following production totals:
Food x1
Prometheus negative x5
Ore x0
GG x0
Men x4
Rare Minerals x1
= Looking at the `Total` tab it looks to me that my planets alone would eat up almost the whole surplus(6) of all the prometheum production. Without upkeep or troop movements factored in yet.
Without double checking the numbers `Macro Unit Upkeep` states a total Astartes
upkeep of GGx53 per round
That scale seems a little off. Wrong place again?
@Gila: Will add. Thanks for the catch.
@Upkeep: Yeah. Roflstomped because I couldn't balance the numbers. You may want to look up the "Macro Resource System" page.
The short: every macro unit has a supply timer (something between 2 and 12 rounds) and a list of resources it needs for supplies. The counter is decreased each round by one. Should you be in a system with all required resources (or have a supply line delivering those to your position), the counter will increase again.
That way, you can have units operate 'alone' for some time, before supply problems start to surface.
The number of required resources is also drastically reduced overall (the spreadsheat reflects that already).
Until I finish the write-up, I added a discord text channel for game system question/answers.
If you want to know something and you struggle to find it in the messy state of the oneNote, just leave a msg there and I shall answer asap.
Lots of stuff I have in my stuffed brain and struggle myself to find it in the notebook ;-)
@CMDs Research station:
I noted down that it having an Exactus production slot.
It will probably also get a trait: "Research Station" or something along the line, that restrict the projects it can undertake to research projects and refitting your units with advanced gear once the research is completed.
Does that sound plausible?
Yep that's the way I imagined it working.
Alright scouts, harassment duty on the new front labelend 'discord' muhaha
That game system write up seems to be doing a good job of centralizing things. I'm reading though it now.
If you want to read the rendered version (in progress), follow this link.
Rendered Variant
(Hope it works)
Huh. Look at that. It's very nice when the code is working instead of being out in the open. :)
Welcome to the awesomeCrazy world of LaTeX :-)
So, I attempted to dip my toe into working on the world and I quicly discovered that the site HATES IE 11, which my work insists on using. The left side bar isn't even functional.
In any case, I'm managing to get some things copy-pasted in, but I'll have to work on this at home when I have time, sadly.
Given that it's own developer has stated that IE is "not a browser" and more of a "legacy toolkit" nowadays, it's not surprising ^^
The only thing you can try is to use Firefox portable (does not need to be installed)....
I tried to do that, but I couldn't figure it out while also trying to work. I'll attempt to figure it out later.
