  • vB Army

    I saw something yesterday when I was doing the software upgrade that I thought some of you might get a kick out of ... vb Army. So I installed it.

    vBArmy is a game for vBulletin. Naturally, I customized it for our particular interest area.

    Each member begins their adventure by choosing a Race which had certain advantages over other races. They begin with a few soldiers and a bit of gold, and must build their army by fighting other players.

    Players can buy weapons for their soldiers to increase their attack strength, and buy armor to increase their soldier's defense strength. However, each soldier can only use one weapon and one item of armor. Players can also upgrade their Defense and Offense to increase their defensive and offensive strengths by a percentage.

    Players can browse through a list of participating players. They can conduct intelligence operations by sending Spies, which cost a set amount of gold to purchase. The more spies you send, the more accurate the intelligence you gather will be. Gathered intelligence gives you an estimate of the players total gold, offensive power, and defensive power.

    If you choose to attack a player you must use "Turns." You only get a certain amount of turns every cycle set by the admin. The more turns you use, the more gold you will steal from your opponent. Be warned though, your opponent will know that you attacked them by viewing their Defense Log and being notified by pm.

    Naturally it is important to grow your army. The only way to get soldiers in the game is to have your friends click your "Recruitment Link" They can only click it once every (admin set minutes), and each time they do you will receive an (admin set amount) of soldiers.

    If it stinks and nobody plays it, I'll uninstall it. I did add a social group so we can threaten each other and such off the forum: http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...php?groupid=89

    Hold tight guys - seems to be a problem with the software. I'll try to fix it over lunch.

    Ok, it's working now. Please sign up again if you already did... I had to delete everybody to fix it.

            BY going into your control panal and changing the e-mail defaults you can eliminate the annoying e-mails and notices.

                  In all fairness some of you guys need to empty your private message storage- if it's full you seem to be immune to attack-neat trick but not really fair. At least 3 people this morning have that problem-

                      Jason-see post #10- they'll still show up in your AC private mailbox but not in your regular e-mail, nor will they popup on your screen-only takes a second to delete them from AC notifications

                        Good tip on turning off the email Notices for PMs. I believe a solution to reduce the number of PMs is being worked on as well.

                        Personally, I find the VB Army PMs a nice respite from regular PMs and forum discussions.

                            Good news - the PM notification is finally resolved and turned off. Those of you that asked to be deleted have been deleted - but are welcome to rejoin if you'd like to.
