http://www.vgf.com/forums/873963-post84.html

I'll try to get one in tomorrow. Besides, that's when my plan actually starts to show itself anyway.

[Blake]

Within the hollowed rocks of Death Mountain, where a giant network of caves twisted and stretched for miles within the massive mountain, was a large ceremony taking place. In the center of Goron city there was a large opening where all of the gorons had gathered. From the lower decks to the higher decks, gorons jumped, waved their arms, and cheered on as two warriors fought on a small ledge hung by three small yet sturdy ropes directly above the center of the grand hall.

The young and older goron warriors were in a heated match on a small platform overlooking the city. The young and fit goron threw a crushing fist, only be anticipated by his older and wiser opponent who grasped his fist and crushed his hand with his superior strength. The older goron let go of his deadly grasp on the younger one and wrapped his arms around the young goron and shoved him with all his might. The young goron struggled, the initial force the older goron brought onto him was too much for him to stop. He continued to slide closer and closer to the edge of the ring, until at last in desperation he butt his head into his opponent’s head, stunning the older goron. During this quick opportunity, the younger goron lifted the older one and with all of his might and tossed him out of the ring. The older goron crashed into the rock ground below, next to a large finely crafted stone vase placed directly beneath the ring.

The crowd blazed wildly with cheers as the climax of the fight finally ended with a large thud. The young goron walked over to the edge of the ring and looked down at his opponent. His opponent managed to get up and shook his body as he fought off the pain as if it was nothing and looked up at the younger goron. He smiled for a brief moment, acknowledging the young one’s victory, and curled up into a ball and took off.

“Well, that was a very interesting match for our opening ceremony today!” Shouted a large goron, known as ‘Hot Rodder Goron.’ “Let’s hear it for our champion, Link!”

The champion of the battle swung his arms into the air and flexed his muscles. The crowd roared once more, shaking the halls of the city.

“And now our runner up, Chieftain of the Gorons, Darunia!”

The crowd continued to shout and cheer as the older goron rolled up the final ramp to the top deck at full speed and launched himself off the ramp. He sprung out in front of many gorons, perfectly landing on his feet. The crowd cheered on their Chieftain and his son before Darunia began to speak.

“Thank you all fellow gorons, thank you Hot Rodder,” he began. “We gorons have always took pride in our amazing strength. My own son still has yet to develop some of his wits in the art of combat.” He began to laugh, “But, he sure did hone some of my own wits today when he bashed me in head. Let’s hear it again for my brave and powerful son!”

The crowd’s loud roars filled the room for one last time before the room would quiet down.

“For several years we have lived as a strong and mature race, overlooking the dangers of Death Mountain. Our people, led by the Legendary Dambardag, brought us up this seemingly barren mountain filled with dangers in order to carve a path that would forever change the Goron Race. Our ancestors have purged this mountain of evil, slaying the giant King Dodongo, and finishing off the menacing Volvagia and have created an amazing home for us. Since those ages, we have looked after our city, Death Mountain, and the other populated towns, ensuring that there would be no uprising on our premises.”

Now catching everyone’s attention, Darunia began to explain why the Gorons were gathered in the hall.

“However, due to recent events there has been an uprising, not on Death Mountain, but in the entire Kingdom of Hyrule! Hylian Knights take up sword and shield, Kokiri mobilize in their protective woods, Zoras scout along the rivers and banks, Gerudos create encampments across their valley, and a new filthy undead race has arisen in the frozen tundra of Hyrule.”

He raised his arms, stretching them out towards his people as he spoke.

“This, my people, is the beginning of a catastrophic war. As our ancestors have, we must look after our homeland and secure it with proper force. We must run blindly into the heart of danger and ensure the future safety of our people.”

He pointed at a younger goron, an older goron, a small goron, and a large goron as he spoke, “I call upon you, and you. I call upon all of you willing to become one of those ancestors that will become the living legends known for protecting the welfare of our people during this desperate time!”

OOC: Lol, I'll have part 2 of my intro up sometime... probably tomorrow or the next day. And then we'll find out(including me) who my General is.



Now, my battle:

Dodongo's Cavern:
- Move 50 soldiers into Death Mountain Trail

Death Mountain:
- Move 50 soldiers into Rivers of Stone

Goron Citadel:
- Move 310 soldiers into Death Mountain Trail
- Move 310 soldiers into Rivers of Stone
- Train 20 More Gorons

Dodongo's Cavern: 50
Goron Citadel: 380 (+20) = 400
Death Mountain: 50
Death Mountain Trail: 360
Rivers of Stone: 360

Rupees: 100 - 80 = 20

And I have a question regarding attacks:
Is it like risk where only one territory can move into an attack zone one at a time, or can you take multiple territories and launch a siege? And if you attack with x soldiers, then x have to move in once a territory is conquered?

Edit: Ugh.. stupid me. If I train for 20 it's only 80 rupees.

[Wyborn]

I'll move 100 troops from the Haunted Wasteland to the Desert Colossus, 200 from Gerudo Fortress to Haunted Wasteland, 200 from Gerudo Fortress to the Chasm North, and then I'll use my race's special ability to move the 200 from Chasm North to Red Rock Pass.

I'll convert 20 rupees to another 10 resources.

So, my standings should look like this.

Gerudo Fortress: 600
Haunted Wasteland: 200
Desert Colossus: 200
Chasm North: 0, still mine?
Red Rock Pass: 200

Rupees: 80
Resources: 110

I'll be making an RP post on the next turn.

Boo, what sorts of things can we research using resources? Are they limited to constructs, or can we also research reasonably limited magic?

[I am nobody]

Turn One:

Movement:
I move 50 troops from Ancient Kings to The Dead Fields.
I move 50 troops from the Castle Burmica to The Frozen Heath.



Buying Things:

Spend 20 rupees on 10 resources.
Buying 20 troops for 80 rupees.

Questions:

What is the resource cost for the troop upgrades/research?

[CuccoLady]

question: What do the freeloaders/troops/not generals do?

[Booyakasha]

All right, since we've only had four generals post so far, I'm going to postpone the next warmod update until tomorrow night at 10 PM. That's the only time I can really do it--I've got a busy schedule. (As I post this, it's 10:15, Wisconsin time--if you live in a different time zone, it's on you to figure out when you should be posting.) Now, your questions--

Marilink: Rupees are used for training troops, buying resources, and paying the fee for having Freelancers on your side. Resources are used to build Fortified Areas and to develop whatever kooky weapons you can think of that you want to try and build.
You get more soldiers by training them. Soldiers cost 4 rupees apiece, and they start out at your main base.

Blake: You can attack an area from multiple adjacent regions at once (say, you have men at HFNE, HFNW, and HFW, and you wanted to attack Lon Lon Ranch). Moreover, when you're coordinating an attack like that, I only roll the 'success or failure' die once.

Wyborn: In the Zelda series, magic has sort of a 'gift from the heavens' kind of thing going on. That isn't something you can really research. Unless you can think of a terrific reason for it, research and development is pretty much limited to the physical.
Chasm North is still yours--once you've gone through a territory, it's been claimed in the name of your country, whether your troops stick around or not.

i_am_nobody: Depends on what you want. PM me and I'll make you an offer. (Don't ask about it here--some enterprising no-goodnik might steal your idea.)

Cucco_Demon: Freelancers do whatever they want. Some harass enemy encampments, driving down morale and increasing desertion; some scout out enemy troop placements, providing their generals with valuable intel; some encourage rebellion in enemy territories, forcing the enemy leadership to choose between diverting men and losing the territory. And that's just off the top of my head. Think of ways that your character can help the Gerudo outside of the fighting that's going on. Use your imagination, roleplay, and above all have fun--let me worry about the stats.

[KirbyBoy2000]

...

[To be posted once I get a general, provided it gets done before the next day.]

[Booyakasha]

^You really need to align yourself with one of the races if you're going to play.

[Cravdraa]

Okay, I'm sending the 100 troops at Jabu-Jabu's fountain to The Falls.
I'm sending the 100 troops already at the falls to Lake Hylia.
200 troops from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia.
300 troops from Zora's Domain to Flooded Pass.

56R will be spent making 14 more troops at Zora's domain.

That leaves me looking like this:
100 at The Falls
300 at Lake Hylia
300 at Flooded Pass
514 at Zora's domain
0 at Jabu-Jabu's fountain
74R left.

10 rupees to SD a.k.a. Melvanna for her sevices. I would request you investigate the Undead lands as it suites you. Excellent post, btw.

10 rupees to Tazy if and when he shows up.

54R left. 64R if Tazy doesn't show.




I'd also like to open up negotiations with the Gerudo Nation about forming an alliance. PM me if you're interested Wyborn. I think there are quite a few reasons it could be mutually beneficial.

Boo, a question. Where do new troops get sent to when they're trained? Can I have them appear in any territory I control, or do they start out at at my main base automaticly?

Big RP post to come, as soon as I find the time and energy.

[Microphone_Kirby]

Today was a good day for me; I was hired by the Gorons to help in their struggle. But as a test, I have to enter their city by taking the mountain path.

"This mountain is massive, but I was waiting for this opportunity for a while..."

I begin to approach the city. It looks like they really wanted to test me; large boulders start to roll down the path! I easily doge every last boulder that rolled down, but now Gorons start lobbing Bombs at me! They were serious when they wanted to test me!!

*BOOM!* *BOOM* *BOOM* "AGGGGGH!" A bomb's blast managed to graze me, but the Gorons continued to throw bombs! I gathered my strength and dashed away from those bombs. Now, I had to deal with a Goron standing between me and the City. I knew I couldn't out-power the Goron, so I had to find a way to out-smart him.

I tried to dash through it, but it's no good; he hit me away easily. I tried to run around him, but he matched my speed and hit me again. "Damn. I have to knock him down..." I decided to stand close to him, and he took another swing at me. He missed, and he was made dizzy from the heavy swing's momentum. I took my chance and knocked him down, then I made my way to the city's enterance.

"Well done..."
"Who's there?" I said
"I'm the general of this army. You passed my test. Your the first creature to complete our challenge, and now you can join our army if you please." It seemed to be the general of the army.
"Of course! That's why I came here!" I said
"Then, here is your first assignment..."

(Check the Sign-up if you don't believe I'm on the Goron's side...)

[Demonicus Prime]

I move 300(heh), in seperate 100-man groups to Hylian Market, Guarded Path, and Old Union Bridge.

Spend 100R on new men, stationing 15 at OUB, 10 at Hylian Market, and 5 at Guarded Path.

I'll fix it if it's not legal for some reason. Boo never replied.

Edited. See, toldja I'd mess up something.

[EDIT: Yeah. Still messed up. BTW, everyone, let's try to keep the War as free from extraneous posts as possible. It'll be less of a headache for your humble, sexy Warmod.]

[Booyakasha]

DP: Bah. Like it's my fault I couldn't make head or tail of your PM. By the way, new troops cost 4 rupees apiece. That makes 25 new recruits.

Crav: New troops automatically enter from your main base.

Warmod update to follow around 10 PM. Figure I'll give the Freelancers one last chance to take their turn this round.

[Demonicus Prime]

100 from each of my beginning spots, I guess. Castle Hylia has 1000 now, and my two Hylian Castle Towns (East and West) have nothing, now.

[Booyakasha]

Some issues, DP.

First of all, any new troops enter the map through your main base, Castle Hylia.

Secondly, your troops can only move one space per round. The only spaces you could currently have troops on are Temple of Time, Castle Hylia, Hyrule Castle Town, Hylian Market, and The Guarded Path. Feel free to look at the map--I've got it linked up top of the thread.

[Blake]

OOC: Well SK, I want you to investigate Kokiri Forest. The 700 troops stationed in Lost Woods east is making me a little concerned at the moment. What you accomplish there is up to you. (My next post probably tomorrow will incorporate you into my story BTW).

- My character in this game is General Grathos.

Edit: Oh yeah and Boo, if you see this (hopefully), could you keep track of the game time like they do on that Hyrulian Forum? It doesn't have to be fancy, but I may want to refer back to events in my previous posts in the future.

Now Part 2(of 3 now lol) of my intro:



---



“I object,” stated one Goron amidst the large crowd. The crowd grew silent as an old Goron stood. He was an average sized goron; his muscles were rather large like any typical goron, but his charred hands, worn from years of dedicated work for the goron’s race, revealed his age. In the palm of his old left hand was a silver scale buried beneath his skin. He wore a woven-cloth shirt that wrapped around half of the goron’s back and front, hanging on his left shoulder.

“Please, state your concerns, dear Elder,” Darunia spoke.

“The Goron race has lived on Death Mountain for centuries, one of the most dangerous areas in the world aside from Gerudo Valley. This foolish war being waged across the kingdoms will ravage many lands. Hyrule Castle’s walls will crumble, the Kokiri Forest will burn, Burminica will be razed, and Zora Domain's water supply will be tainted with blood. The fields of Hyrule themselves will be littered with warriors and will unearth devastation.”

“However, in a barren region such as Death Mountain, one so desolate and dangerous, none would dare even enter. Death Mountain is virtually useless for any other race than our own. The only salvageable materials they can find here are rock and precious metals. But are the dangers worth their causes for capturing these materials?! Most certainly not!”

“I object!” Shouted another Goron on the other side of the room. This goron was a much younger one, in his middle ages. He had a very strong build compared to the others around him. On his left hand he wore a large spiked steel gauntlet, on his right he wore a silver gauntlet. He stood up tall and proud as he spoke.

“Your logic is reasonable, suffice to say. It is true that it would take sheer determination alone to conquer a mountain full of rock hurling gorons that would crush their numbers in seconds…” he began.

“However, what of the recent shortages of dodongo meat to supply the goron race?” Asked the mighty goron.

“The Dodongos certainly have dwindled over the years because of our growing race. However, collecting food would cause us to have to travel across half of Hyrule to Burmunica to feast on the mighty dodongos within the deep earth there. Under normal conditions it would be no problem, but with our neighbors amassing their armies, it would be impossible to hunt without endangering our lives,” replied the old goron.

“And what are you suggesting Berathor, that we eat squishy skulltulla instead?” asked Grathos.

Arguments sprung everywhere in the room almost instantly. It took a few moments before Darunia could get their attention once more.

“Calm yourselves proud gorons…” Darunia shouted out to his people. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly. “Both Berathor and Grathos bring up strong points. It would nearly be suicide for our enemies to launch an attack up Death Mountain not only because of our brute strength, but also because we would have higher ground. Our rocks and bombs would annihilate any who tried to trek up the mountain.

“But the fact is we are reaching a dangerously low shortage of food in the near future. Our only choices to solve this problem are to wait out this epic war or to take the risks of traversing through the fields of Hyrule to hunt for meaty species to allow the dodongos to repopulate. What do the people of Goron Citadel say?”

The crowed repeatedly shouted “Grathos! Grathos! Grathos!” cheering on the goron’s cause. Berathor looked down in disappointment and sat back down.

“Alright, then it is decided. Eat your last portions of dodongo meat and bask in the hot springs of Death Mountain. Live the luxurious life of a citizen for one last time, for it may be the most rest you get in this war.” shouted Darunia to his people.

The crowd roared on, shaking the very caves of Goron Citadel; their cheers echoing across the skies of Hyrule…

[Booyakasha]

All right, everyone. I've just now realized that I've got a Bio exam first thing in the morning. Forgive me, but the exam must take priority--I need to study, and I thus won't have time to post my warmod update until tomorrow morning about 11 AM. Sorry--no help for it now. Gotta go cram. Outtie.

[Microphone_Kirby]

OoC: I'm starting at the Goron Citadel (since I just joined the Gorons) and I move to The Sooted Wilds.
(I'll Role play later...)

[Wyborn]

They were beautiful, all of them.

The sun was beating down on them as they prepared themselves, wind carrying grains of sand and snatches of conversation about a war that had seemed to spring up out of the ground. Some already wore their armor, had been training in it against the wishes of their commander, bodies glistening with sweat as they stripped down and drank enough water that they were berated again, called softheels as if they had never walked in the desert before, and they returned to perfect form and expressed shame and laughed amongst each other when their commanders were out of hearing.

They were the Gerudo, and they were beautiful.

He was everything to each of them: a son, a brother, a father, a pupil, a king, a god. He knew this, and he loved each of them as the leaders of the other tribes would never understand.

He strolled amongst them, and the chatter died and the shouted orders were hushed and they all turned to look at him. He was tall and long and powerful, skin as dark as any of theirs and eyes a burning hazel, his head wreathed in a crown of hair the color of orange fire. His heavy leather boots fell silently with every step, the wind rippled his black robes as he walked amongst them, and a path opened amongst the mass through which he walked. He passed by them and they each fell to one knee, showing loyalty and fealty, but not submission, never submission - that had been his lone edict when he had risen to take the throne, that they would never submit to anyone, not king or god, and least of all to him. They followed him out of awe and understanding and love, and the silence that fell across the Gerudo fortress was born of those things.

He looked around at each of them as he walked past, blazing eyes taking in every face and recalling every name, the name of every mother and sister and daughter and teacher, every woman who had ever raised him up when he fell and every instructor who had ever struck him for error. He knew them all, and hey all looked him in the eyes and saw that recognition. There were no words.

Walking past them and to his pavilion, he turned at the end and looked out at them all. There was another moment of breathless anticipation, where anyone watching would have expected an outcry, a roar, a storm of cheering to shatter the earth, but there was no sound. He raised his right hand to them, and they raised their left hands in return, and they went back to their training. They were filled with a new vigor, a new purpose of action, and there was not a one amongst them who did anything without absolutely perfect form and execution.

Behind him, two incredibly old women stepped out of the shade of the pavilion, their skin as dark as oiled leather and their noses longer than their gnarled fingers. Both wore jewels embedded in their foreheads, just above the eyes, one red and one blue.

"Lord," said the woman with the blue jewel, "the Zora general has sent offers of a treaty."

"They are beautiful, are they not?" the king of the Gerudo said.

"Sire?" The woman with the red jewel had a voice as rough as her skin - it was easy to tell the two women were twins.

"All of them," he said, gesturing out at the women before him. "Thy are diamonds in the sand, every one."

"Ours is truly the fairest of the races," said the red-jeweled woman.

"The envy of every other," said the blue-jeweled. They knew better than to interrupt him when he was thinking.

He nodded. "They deserve better than this...this arid land of sand and unforgiving, brutal wind."

"Our people have lived in the desert for a hundred generations, lord," said the red-jeweled sister.

"We are a strong race, well-suited to this environ, and have been so since time immemorial." The blue-jeweled's sister voice was edged with a reprimanding tone.

"I do not mean to say that we cannot live in the desert, mothers. It is merely that," and here he paused in thought, searching for the words. "It is merely that beautiful things deserve beautiful things. These women - all of them - deserve green grass and trees that bear sweet fruit, clear water an hour's walk in any direction, and winds that carry the kiss of life and unweary rest."

"Do you covet the land, lord, the very earth and wind?" the sisters asked together.

"I do," he said, and he nodded. He had never stopped looking out over the army of his sisters and daughters and mothers. "I covet it for them. I started this war for them, the other tribes blind to my ambitions. If need be, I will grind the other peoples under my heel for them - when this is over, no Gerudo will ever want for water again."

They said nothing, only looked at each other and thought.

He turned to them and strode past them, into the shade of his wall-less pavilion. There would be no barriers between him and his people.

"Come, Kotake, Koume. We must compose a message to the Zora King that we will accept his treaty for now."

"Of course, Ganondorf," they said together, and the three of them walked to a table in the shade and sat and talked.

~~~~~~~~~~~

OoC: Okay then! That's just an RP post. Boo, I didn't take any action, except to accept the treaty offered by Cravdraa, so I hope it's okay.

Let's get this party started, everybody.

[Booyakasha]

All right, first things first--as some of you probably already know, Demonicus Prime has dropped out of the war. We won't go into the reasons here--I'm more interested in the problem that this situation presents us.

In past incarnations of HW, when a general dropped out, the War was put on hold until a new general could be found. However, I don't want to do that here, for several reasons--
1. The War is already off to a rocky start, what with the first round lasting longer than it should have, and me having to postpone last night's warmod update until now.
2. Whatever your opinions on HW, it appears to me that it has helped to increase activity on the Zelda Forum, both in the HW topics and out of them. I see members hanging around these topics that simply didn't hang around the Zelda Forum in the past--as co-conspirator in the rebirth of HW here at VGF, I'm fairly proud of this, and, as mod, the last thing I want to do is cause whatever activity the War may have generated to drop off.

For these reasons, I am going to step into the role of the Hylian General until someone more suitable is found.

I know this is a controversial decision, being that I'm also Warmod. All I can do is promise to be objective.

Now, without further ado...
