Empiresmod Tactics, the unofficial Empiresmod card game

///note: still under construction, i am fine tuning the general rulebook with my spouse and only releasing a part of the brenodi side of the game at this moment, also new cards will be added later///

edit: flashe is recruited to help me

i hope one day this game will be used as advertising material for empiresmod

edit: i might have made it look like this will be a magic clone, this was wrong of me because it is not

most basic changed rules:
you have 3 battlezones, the commander, the main base, and all the rest
(use the playmat, all the zones are visually represented, exept "all the rest" which is just everything outside the playmat)

you attack one zone after the other, breaking trough the defences untill you get to the commander, kill him and you win

buildings are needed to build vehicles, do research, spawn reinforcements etc etc etc

vehicles and equipment augment infantry units and turn them into vehicles

tickets are used to spawn infantry, resources are used to build buildings

We should have individual units as players.

Axeman : when you use this card he will automatically charge the enemy taking at least 2 enemies with him before he dies.

 

not taking card requests as of now, but i will eventually
if people want to see there card altered/removed

contact me, il see what i can do (image on it almost certainly can be changed, specs doubtfully and removed is ofc no problem)

 

I need "Rev Rambo" card.

 

Trickster is a furry lol

 

The numbers should be kept much smaller and simpler to keep track of instead of having ridiculous hp amounts of 250+. the game should be kept more in line with the original MTG, with land cards being tickets and resources or raxes and vfs.

Land cards would be resource cards, resources could be used to build other land cards, which would be raxes and vfs, both of which are required to build infantry/tank units.

I'd keep things much simpler, for instance, the basic emp_recruits would require that a rax be tapped and no other resources be used:

rifleman: 1/2 first strike
scout: 1/1 tap: sabotage (taps target rax or vf or resource card/land)
engineer: 1/1 tap: ammo drop (untaps target tank or infantry)
gren: 2/1, tap: deal 1 damage to target tank

the tanks would require a vf to be tapped but would also require a certain amount of res.


APC: 2 res 1/2, cannot attack, tap: play target infantry card as though you tapped a barracks
lt: 1 res 3/2 first strike
afv: 1 res 4/3
nf med: 2 res 4/3
be med: 3 res 5/4
nf heavy: 6 res 7/6 trample
be heavy: 5 res 8/6

then you could have weapon/armor global enchantment cards such as

reflective armor 2 res: +0/+1 to tanks
reactive armor 2 res: +0/+2, must pay 1 res to untap tanks

uml 4 res +2/0 for NF tanks, +1/0 for BE tanks, all grens get ability: tap, deal 2 damage to target tank
ranged cannon 4 res +1/0 for NF tanks, +3/0 for BE tanks

Then you can have legendary infantry cards which require both a rax spawn and some amount of resources, or something of the sort. For instance:

pickled_heretic: enchant tank, target tank gains +2/0 and first strike.

snakeDfox: 3/2 grenadier, banding, tap: deal 2 damage to target tank.

mashav: 2/2 scout, first strike, tap: deal 1 damage to target infantry.

headshotmaster: global enchant, all units get +1/0

 

haha that made my day..

I remember darkterror doing cards like these,what happened to them?

 

no, it will not

 

enjoy making a game that nobody will have the patience to play.

 

I believe Blizzerd is correct.

 

This is going to make 'stacking' even more confusing.

 

I'm iffy about this...it doesn't seem to have the same kind of card types as Magic, and thus deviates from the rules. Perhaps it'd be better if you designated which types would be akin to enchantments, artifacts, sorceries, etc....are maps lands, or are buildings?

 

The Grantrithor card must be NF, and the more rare player Fat ass humpin a stick(i'm the same guy) gets a gold card(it still does same damage(collectors item)) but thats for another time.

there should be skill cards too, like the gren that has armor detection would destroy a tank faster(more damage) because he knows where to fuck the shit up. And the rofleman that has Dig In on him would defense up the joint and bullets would not hurt when the "comm" would put him SIDEWAYS for prone! which prone adds an innacurracy(like a random number generator for hit or not).

that sounds like a lot of shit that won't happen, sorry I made you all mad.

 

Yes, give every nobody a card.

On another note, this sort of shit was a running joke between drag and me and the fact that somebody is taking this seriously is absolutely hilarious.
~~~shine on you crazy diamonds you~~~

 

ive been concidering doing this since 2.2, i just didn't have the time and when you guys started joking about this i remembered i wanted to do this

ps: im not taking suggestions in this stage of the developement unless they are from flashe

 

yes, we will

but "demanding" something to be in isnt nice, and probably makes it even less likely to be in

 

Not that I particularly want to see this, but just make sure the gameplay works if you're gonna make it.

Whatever way it works.

 

There should be another currency other than res and tickets, stax. Then each vet costs a certain number of stax to play, depending on how good they are. BSID players cost less stax in general because they don't care about it.

 

that sounds an awful lot like something a politician would say
