Capt Wolf Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 The sign-up deadline for the next Adventure MRCA and Trade MRCA is August 13, midnight, anywhere in the world. ---------------- Players can sign up for both the Adventure MRCA and the Trade MRCA, but individual ships can only participate in one or the other, not both simultaneously. To sign-up for the Adventure MRCA, read the rules here and then sign-up via this form. To sign-up for the Trade MRCA, read the rules here and then sign-up via this form. For a ship to take part in either MRCA, it must be licensed. You can license your ship under the new ship rules via this form. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trade MRCA now has a new feature: RAIDS. When you fill out the Trade MRCA form, instead of going on a trade run, you have the option to raid a port. (Note: Old World ports on the continent cannot be raided.) If the raid is successful, you get a minimum of 50% of the DBs from the town bank. To conduct a raid, your ships must win a battle with the port's defenses (i.e., forts and troops). For the defender, all forts have standard ratings for firepower, "hull" strength (their walls), and troops (measured in "crew" units). The stats of all of a settlement's forts are added together, and the strength of any militia and/or troops stationed there are also added in. Standard fort stats can be found here (scroll down to the “Forts” section). Every additional 5 soldiers add 1 crew unit to the total. All three stats (firepower, hull, and crew) are used in resolving the battle. For the attacker, the firepower, hull, and crew ratings of all the ships in the squadron are added together. You may add troops to your raiding ships to increase your crew rating for the raid. For every point of cargo capacity plus the ship's class rating, a ship may carry 5 soldiers (5 soldiers = 1 crew point). For example, a class 3 ship with a cargo capacity of 4 could carry 35 soldiers (7 additional crew points). Getting there and back The attacker's ships have to actually make it to the port, and they must also plan for their escape. So... - When filling out the MRCA form, the attacker must plan a route that not only takes his or her ships to the zone of the target, but also gets them away to a safe port. (This is similar to ships that patrol for prey in the MRCA and return to their original port.) - In addition to the MRCA zones the ships will sail through, the attacker must also state the port to attack and the final port they will run to after the raid. - Also, the attacker's ships have to survive any encounters at sea they might have on their way to the target. Since an attacker might want to call off a raid if they suffer too many losses prior to reaching the target, there is a place on the raid form where the attacker can list the minimum number of ships levels that must be present in his/her fleet to follow through with the attack. If they abort the attack, the ships will just go their final destination without attempting the raid. Results Attacking soldiers that are lost as a result of sea engagements or combat are removed from the game. Defending soldiers that are lost are automatically replaced. If the attacker does not have enough transport capacity on his ships (due to ships lost during the raid), excess soldiers are left behind, surrender, and are removed from the game. If a defender's fort is damaged, a repair cost will be charged to the owner (similar to increased maintenance costs for damaged ships). If the fort is destroyed, a vignette to show it being rebuilt must be posted before the fort is functional again. (Think of this as sistershipping the fort.) At the conclusion of a successful raid, the attacker may receive additional DBs from the town bank (beyond the minimum 50% haul) depending on how many raiders survive to loot and plunder the settlement. MRCA Forms Note that the MRCA signup form doesn’t have raids added yet, so if you’re interested in conducting a raid this month, give us a few days to get the forms modified. If you’re just going to be trading, you can go ahead and fill out the forms normally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consult this map for trade zone numbers before submitting any forms: And here are the trade values as of July 30, 618.

Bregir Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Note to all: Regarding raids! Since we, in our eternal professionalism, has forgotten to update the MRCA form, any raids will have to be handled by filling in the details in a pm and sending it to @Capt Wolf AND @Captain Genaro We apologize for our forgetfulness.

Legostone Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Has anyone forgotten subbing their AMRCA form? Currently the following have been submitted, anything missing, anyone needs a short extension?

Assuming the TMRCA results are in already: is it possible to handle the ships and raids seperately, i.e. getting the KPA out sooner, and the raid results at a later point?

Unfortunately, no. We are a little delayed all around the clock, so to speak, and some of the things are highly interconnected. I want to add that while we much prefer the quick response we (mainly Capt Wolf and Genaro) have been able to deliver the last few rounds, everything is still driven by volunteers, so *sometimes* this may unfortunately lead to a little more need for patience. We are working on improving our processes, though, so hopefully, this will be less and less pronounced. Quote

Not really possible, or at least it wouldn't save any time. Figuring out the results of any raids isn't a big time sink. Getting the forms updated to where they need to be for future MRCAs, that's another matter! Quote

Darnok Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 It has been almost another three weeks, and @Captain Genaro has been online on the 9th - what is going wrong? A suggestion for the future: please include some kind of redundancies into all the behind-the-scene work. If one person missing stalls the whole game, then something is not going right. Quote

We will see what we can do without Genaro - hopefully this weekend, but I can't make any promises. Quote

Kwatchi Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 That's a enough of that, you meme warriors. It's not an ideal situation, but the court will figure it out as soon as we can. Quote

He's unable to access Eurobricks for now due to work, but he'll be back. And we've had enough contact with him to guide us through the data processing. I have the results data; just working on getting it into a usable form and doing the write-up. Quote
