[PW] Pixel Wars Civ - FFA Civilization Game (25 slots)
52 replies, posted
Gonna try and bring pixel-wars back.
Couple of rules
-No uploading from internet explorer. It darkens the image over time.
-Only upload images to imgur or cubeupload, everything else compresses or otherwide reduces the image's quality.
-Only save the image in .png, do not use .jpg or anything else. (PNG has lossless compression, jpg will ruin images)
-You must 'declare' before doing anything, including picking a spot on the civ map.
-You have 60 minutes from declaring to complete and post your image, or you will be skipped.
-Declarations work in turns, first come first serve. Whoever declares first goes first, then second, third, etc.
-If you are declaring to work on your own map and no other players are involved, you do not have to wait for your turn to edit your image and post. Time limit still applies in case anyone wants to move onto your tile and use your map. Just make sure you say "Declare - Own Map". You may only use this turn-free declare for basebuilding and unit creation, not for invasions or leaving your tile.
-If you are going to declare war on another player, it must be announced prior to moving into their tile.
-If someone is moving through your tile, you may attack them without declaring war or warning.
-Don't be rude or an ass.
-No powerplaying or metagaming.
-Self-Declares limited to once per 12 hours if no other players are involved (basebuilding or unit creation declares)
-Maps limited to 3500x1500 pixels.
-Most importantly, HAVE FUN.
Helpful Tips/Info:
-25px is 6'
-Turn Anti-Aliasing off
-Be cognizent of other players
-Be fair in dealing damage and taking losses (generally best to allow the other player to determine what is and isn't a killing blow on something)

(Please try to retain a semblance of natural development to the map. I.E. if building next to other claimed tiles, flow the geography. Don't just cut a mountain off with grasslands, flow the mountain down into foothills. Same goes for coastlines, deserts, etc.)
Add to the rules Saving as .PNG not JPEG"
Oh right. Knew I was forgetting something. Thanks bro.
classical n°1 rule pf PW. Those things you never forget, lol.
Might join later.
I remember the #1 rule being "no goddamn internet explorer" lol
Welp I guess I'll start my map while I wait for people to join.
Declare, self.

[i]A trio of dropships, escorted by two Fast Attack Craft, come screaming in over the forest valley from the east. From the rearmost dropship, a driving anthem blares out of the loudspeakers with the soldiers within chanting along to it. Five troopers bring up the rear dropship, the foremost a First Lieutenant and two Engineers securing a small dozer and a few crates and drums. The middle dropship, laden entirely with crates of munitions and building supplies, flies without soldiers. The air convoy is escorted by two Vermaak LSH-37 "Raven" VTOLs. The radio crackles to life, and the Lieutenant pipes up over the comms.[/i][b] "Red Team Escort, Fireteam Vanguard, stop here. This position is suitable for our needs. Red Team Escort, I want you to remain in the air until the dropships leave, Vanguard; secure the valley while I direct the Engineers. Dropships, set down. We're home, boys."[/b]
I'll have to make some new sprites to join this, not sure any of my now 5+ year old ones are still around or up to par.
Declaring.
oh shiiiiit milkdairy in the house.
What up dude haven't seen you in ages
I've legit been waiting ages for any vestige of mspaint section to pop up. Took up nationRP in the meantime :v: but I've still got all these old sprites and nothing to do with em', so I guess it's time to make a comeback.
Hell yeah boi. Let's do this.
Do you still have any of the old PW crew on your friends list? You should invite them.
Might see if Greg and Dmaster are down ;^)
Awesome. Sounds good bro.

[i]As the dropships and VTOLs come in towards a landing zone, the dropships hang back and let the VTOLs pepper the trees beneath them with ripping hot plasma fire, destroying a small copse of trees and setting another patch ablaze. The VTOLs pull up and hover above the landing zone, while dropships Alfa and Beta fly in and unload their cargo one at a time. Dropship Charlie drops its soldiers off to the east in the woods to scout the area out. As the Dropships pull up and start to fly off to the east, the Lieutenant radios up.[/i][b] "Red Leader, change of plans. I want your group to stay here to provide fire support."[/b][i] He receives two comm clicks as affirmative and the VTOLS remain hovering.
As the Engineers set about stacking crates and barrels and getting the Dozer ready for work, they talk to each other as the Lieutenant takes inventory of the crates.[/i][b] "Ivan are you sure you know how to drive this thing?"[/b][i] Asks the Engineer standing next to the Dozer as the other climbs inside and gets situated.[/i][b] "Of course I do, Mikhail"[/b][i] The other replies.[/i][b] "I had the same training as you."[/b]
[i]Further to the east, two groups of soldiers fan out in the woods. One, composed of three troopers, looks all around them quietly. The other, a trooper and a heavy weapons specialist, inspect the riverbank. The trooper pokes one of the fir trees with the muzzle of his rifle and speaks to the other.[/i][b] "Boris I don't like this. It's too quiet. And these trees are small. It's new growth. Look, the needles are very small. Something happened here."[/b][i] The other grunts and elbows the trooper in the back.[/i][b] "You worry too much Yuri. So the trees are young, so what? Forests burn down all the time."[/b]

Kek I'll do it """"""""""""""later""""""""""
And sure doggie I'll add civvies next turn, although I don't have any civvie sprites.
SpartanApples made a RP sprite sheet with civvie templates you can add clothes too. Most of his stuff is still online. Try Googling for it.
Also I was gonna take my turn when I get home and start flying my dropships thru the city could you maybe put some civs there before then? I mean you got 12 hours lmao
I think Merc Co might have to make a glorious return...
Declare.

The rolling sands of an arid region are silent save for the occasional howl that picks up swirling swathes of the airborne sediment before gently returning to the dunes they once rested on. Such stillness is capitalized by a strange structure, a relic of an age long forgotten, ominous only through its black exterior that absorbs the harsh light of the sun.
Change came suddenly, yet not as grandiose as one might expect for eons of quiet build up. A bright green flash with a screech that howls throughout the air, and then silence yet again as four figures take the place of the searing flash of energy. Familiar, yet distinctly alien in their appearance, they were skeletal creatures with soulless expression with eyes set with an emerald ember. Two of them looked in significantly better shape than the others, those whose joints creaked and sputtered with each movement they took as they started to trudge through the sands, walking forward in a march that was only halted by their leader who was toting a massive firearm of sorts. It was not difficult to tell who was the leader among them, for he was adorned with flashy garb and had a certain aura of command to his presence, a bit of personality among an otherwise unflinching force of soldiers.
"This is the planet, then?" it speaks, dropping the base of its staff into the ground with a soft slap as he slowly steps toward the structure before them. "I hardly consider a job as simplistic as this as something worthy of my talents, yet... I suppose I shouldn't complain if my benefactors keep giving me what I need in exchange."
Its tone is clearly robotic, distorted with reverberations and a hollow echo to its words, but at the same time there is clear inflection. Alterations in pitch to show curiosity, other natural ebbs and flows to speech in something so clearly unnatural.
The creature's train of thought is shattered as an explosion lights up the sky, getting him to look at the source over his plated shoulder.
"[B]Sapient lifeforms detected on planet's surface.[/B]" speaks the heavy weapon wielder, in a tone much more flat and robotic than the staff wielder.
"Aren't there always? Well, complications just mean more opportunities to test new developments. But... patience is something we're all experts in, yes? Let's conduct our business here, for now."
Dmaster is your map looking at your tile from the east instead of the south?
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;52203250]Dmaster is your map looking at your tile from the east instead of the south?[/QUOTE]
Yep, mountain is the frame of reference there. I suppose it could be flipped if need be but I was trying to just get some variation in map layout.
That's fine was just curious. If you could put small directionals in the top corners of your play map denoting the sides as N and S so people know which frame to enter from.
Declare just to put some civilians in the city. Way too damn tired to actually edit my own map.

Just added a few civvies and some extra cars here and there.
[url=http://imgur.com/a/Cs5g1]Here is a link[/url] to some of SpartanApples RP and prop packs. Can the next person to declare on this map add some more flair? I'm super tired at the moment and am gonna go crash.
Declare, my map & City map.
Just moving my dropships.

[i]The dropships kick up speed and start moving out of the operational zone. One of the pilots radios back at the Officer.[/i][b] "Vanguard Leader, this is Swole Actual, we're departing the designated grid square and headed back east to the carrier group. Let us know if you need a resupply, over."[/b][i] The Officer sighs audibly over the comms.[/i][b] "[i]Overwatch Actual[/i] I've told you, stop renaming your flight group Swole Actual just because you're, quote, "heavy lifting SOBs". Maintain radio contact until within range of Carrier Group Warmaster. I don't know what that flash and explosion was but it can't be good. Something is going on."
"Copy Vanguard Leader."[/b]

[i]The three IVA dropships burn in over the mountain and foothills into the city just as the flash from the touchdown to the north fades. They see the helicopters to the far east and open up comms on a wideband channel, their accents a strange mix of German and Russian.[/i][b] "Unknown Fliers, this is Overwatch Actual leading an Imperial Veran Army Flight Group of HL-29 Dropships bearing 90.29 at 400 Knots. Please identify yourself, over."[/b]
Hey doggie sorry for the delays but I'll have something out when I get back tomorrow. Been kind of busy lately.
