Peril - The Online Game
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 4:31 am
Hello people!
So my current project is my biggest one yet, and it is pretty much taking the game of risk, and making it a lot more personal and interactive. But here is the first problem:
What should I name it??
Here is some background info on the game:
You first select a country (For now you can only choose between America, Russia, Germany, and China for simplicity sake, I will add more later). After that, whichever country you selected affects the types of weapons, planes, tanks, etc. that you can purchase. Also, instead of taking over countries with one attack like risk, there are multpile major cities in each country inhabited by either a player or AI's, and you have to take over all of those in order to capture the country. Now you might think, "With so few countries, and probablly at most 5 major cities per country, doesn't that only amount to... 20 players that can play?". Yes, but no imaginary inquirer.
You see, I intend on creating several different servers (depending on traffic) with all of the same stuff, but people can just stay within those. There are some flaws to this system, I am aware, but it is my plan for now, it will likely change though. But pretty much, your objective is to take over your world, city by city. An idea that just came to me, to prevent trolls that are extremely high levels owning all of the servers, I will probabally have level limits on each one (say server 1 can only have lvl 1-6 people, and server 8 can only have lvl 53-57 people). Anyways, yeah, there are many flaws to this system such as:
What happens when a server is controlled by one player, that means no other players can go into it!
That is all I can think of right now actually, hahaha, but if you think of any more, please tell me and hopefully include a solution to the problem! Also, it would be much appreaciated if you could think of a solution to the above flaw and tell me!
Also, as I previously asked, what should I name this game?
Thanks everyone!
(By the way, it is coded in all PHP, no Javascript/Ajax for now)
