Element Wars V3

Welcome to Elemental Wars v3!
Take time to read this, its important, There are 12 different elements, "Heat", "Aqua", "Nature", "Earth", "Darkness", "Chaos", "Time", "Air", "Light", "Shadow", "Toxin" "Energy", the dominance chart below gives an overview of the current condition of each element, to win this game, your element must destroy every other element using its unique skills that the element can manipulate (See element overview below).

Each element has ratings, which is 100 from the start, when an element's rating reaches 0 its eliminated from the game and all the players of that element can no longer play as that element until a new game begins.

Each element has MP (mana power) that can be used to summon certain abilities that can be used to harm (or heal) the rating or MP of your or other elements. MP is gained gradually, an element recovers 15 MP per day.

To join an Element simply post below saying which element you wish to join, make sure first however that the element is alive, and that it is truly the one you want as it's really difficult to swap later on, as you need my full 100% approval. Although, if the element you wish to swap upon has lesser members then the element you're in, that there's a good chance that I may agree and allow you.

You may use the element's abilities as you please (just post a new reply specifying what you wish to do), however one player may only use one ability a day, no matter how much MP your element has. We'll be calling the posts in which you announce your use of ability, "legit posts". Take note that also, no element may have more then "100" rating or MP.

When a day starts, I'll be making a post to announce it.

When an element is killed, players in the killed element may not join back into the game unless they are revived/rebirthed or resurrected.

Currently Every element is limited to 10 players, but this limit may be taken off or increased depending on the amount of people we get for the game later.

Changes to "Heat"-

1- Flame twist MP cost moved to 15, I would rename it, flame twist sounds more like an air move

2- Blazing Altar's ability is effective for the page instead if for the whole day (could you imagine what a couple of these stacking could achieve? this would be madness)

3- Nova Impact name change, something more noticeably destructive, perhaps meteor shower?

4- Nova Ability Changes- MP: 50- Reduces the rating of a selected element by 50. This special ability is only usable by "Heat" players the day "Heat" has also retired another element. (Why? this is much less complex and the restrictions are clear. In addition, there is no need to set a restriction with such a high MP cost, this ability is truly only usable once or twice a month unless fueled by other elements)

Basically, this element needs major nerfing before it kills 5 sum elements in the first few days

Changes to "Aqua"-

1- If your not going to have flame dance as an ability, tsunami's example text make's no sense

2- Cyclone changes- Next, special abilities should reflect the element, cyclone seems like a rating reducing move, let me help you accord it more with what aqua should be about. In the hypothetical situation I am renaming the special ability.

Expand Oceans- MP: 10- This ability becomes available to the player's of aqua after 3 or more players from "Aqua" have made legit post on the same page. This ability can not be used more the once a day. When this skill is used, the maximum amount of MP and rating aqua can acquire is increased by 10 (100 goes to 110) Aqua then gains 10 rating and 10 MP.

Changes to "Nature"-

1- Once again, Nature should be in connection with healing, an ability called "World Tree" that does damage makes no sense.

2- Great Forest (World Tree)- MP: 70- This ability may only be used if "Nature" has used "Rebirth" at least once throughout the course of the game. When this skill is used, select 3 retired elements (does not work if 3 can not be selected) and they are brought back into the game with 100 rating and 100 MP, nature recovers all missing MP and rating. The player may then used an ability from each one of these healed elements despite the one skill a day limit. (Perhaps this is OP IDK, but it's more of a "nature" like ability rather then what "World Tree" looks like) Make sure to specify that this move can not allow players to use other element special abilities, only there normal 5 can be triggered

Changes to "Earth"-

1- Mount everest shield is just plain cheesy. How about "Obsidian Dome"?

2- This special can be abused, I see a possibility for constant MES/harvest recovery methods followed with long boring farm days that could make earth invincible or should I say, Untouchable. Here is my Idea on how to make this work.

Obsidian Dome- MP: 0- When this skill is used, remove all existing Stone Blood stack effects currently issued on earth. Depending on how many were removed (let's say 3) Earth is immune to being a target of anything for 3 days. (Simplified the skill, makes it a fair deal and a strategic survival technique, win win)

Changes to "Darkness"-

1- Assassinates restrictions was supposed to be to prevent players from destroying elements without people in them. I don't see why it says "more then 2 members" it should say less then 3.

2- Oblivious drain... I see the potential for a more creative name. Oblivious means somewhat unaware or random, this skill is certainly not random. I was thinking.. "Soul Drain" or something along the lines

3- Nightmare should not be able to target special moves

4- For the special, Remove the challenging to meet requirements as the move itself is already difficult to provide considerably useful judging by it's mana cost. The only thing needed to be added here, is that every time the skill is used, the MP cost is increased by 5, this will prevent the potential spam of the move, and accords well with the target set of abilities darkness should focus on (see "bad" of darkness ability)

Changes to "Chaos"-

1- Memories should not be able to target special moves

2- Annihilation, an interesting ability, however it suits "Time" much better then chaos, if you think about it, Time should be the one banishing revived elements back to the grave. Here is my dramatic idea for the chaos special

Big Bang- MP: 90- This skill can not be used the first week of the game. When this skill is activated, the MP and Rating of every element is shuffled between 1 and 100. No ability can block this skill. This ability may be used again by the same player if possible. (Whats cool about this move, is that if chaos winds up with 90+ MP again they have the option to have another big bang to shoot for more rating)

Changes to "Time"-

1- Mirrors of the future is quite a bizarre/confusing ability, I would (as I said earlier) replace it with your current S ability for chaos. let me show you:

Seal Fate- MP: 70- When this skill is used, all elements that were brought back to life by any means in the game, are immediately destroyed and removed from the game. Any players resurrected are also removed from the game. (The MP cost pays off the rest, no need to set restrictions, the more simple it gets, the less confusion people will have)

Changes to "Air"-

1- I don't currently have a good idea for the special ability for "Air". I do know however that it makes it un-fun to basically force air to support aqua. The SA should not require any other elements, however it should be repeatable. Perhaps your SA for nature would be more suitable here.

Changes to "Light-

1- Heavens Judgment is interesting, a great all around ability. I do however feel it to be way to complicated, adjust the MP costs and remove requirements or confusion will drive this game off the wall. Do what you can to keep ability text under 3 lines, it's hard, but much less harder on the casual players eyes

Changes to "Shadow"-

1- Oblivion's effect is legit. However, once again you have some filler text that does not need to be there. If the ability costs 60 MP why would you put "It can not be used twice in a row?". Cut the ribbon a bit, adjust the ability so that it's easy to understand what you need to use it, 1 req. or less is a great way to solve this problem, have the MP and or req. be more difficult

Changes to "Toxin"-

1- Toxic Smoke's current ability makes DAQ obsolete, only an idiot would use it. I recommend have Toxic smoke not have anything to do with P Tokens, unless the spending of P Tokens does not reduce MP or rating of other elements

2- To be honest, Toxic smoke is weak name wise, For the most powerful ability aim for more epic names

Changes to (that last one, whatever it is)-

1- Change the name back to "Energy" Lightning can be a future element, or I would even call it more suitable as an attack

2- Volt MP cost raised

3- Fixes for the special ability

Nuclear Plant- MP: 40- Increases MP of two designated elements (excluding "Energy") by 50, if this special ability does not result in that element reaching or passing max MP, "Energy"'s MP will be maximized to 100 and two designated elements will lose half their ratings. This special ability cannot be used unless a power plant is current targeting energy on the page. (way it was, completely OP)
