Playing Atlantis

Factions:

When a faction starts the game, it is given a one-man unit and 5000 silver in unclaimed money. Unclaimed money is cash that your whole faction has access to, but cannot be taken away in battle (silver in a unit's possessions can be taken in battle.) This allows a faction to get started without presenting an enticing target for other factions. Units in your faction may use the CLAIM order to take this silver, and use it to buy goods or recruit men.

An example faction is shown below, consisting of a starting character, Merlin the Magician, who has formed two more units, Merlin's Guards and Merlin's Workers. Each unit is assigned a unit number by the computer (completely independent of the faction number); this is used for entering orders. Here, the player has chosen to give his faction the same name ("Merlin the Magician") as his starting character. Alternatively, you can call your faction something like "The Great Northern Mining Company" or whatever.

  * Merlin the Magician (17), faction Merlin (27), has:
    leader [LEAD].  Skills: none.
  * Merlin's Guards (33), faction Merlin (27), has: 20
    vikings [VIKI], 20 swords [SWOR]. Skills: none.
  * Merlin's Workers (34), faction Merlin (27), has: 50
    vikings [VIKI].  Skills: none.

Units:

Turns:

A turn is equal to one game month. A unit can do many actions at the start of the month, that only take a matter of hours, such as buying and selling commodities, or fighting an opposing faction. Each unit can also do exactly one action that takes up the entire month, such as harvesting timber or moving from one region to another. The orders which take an entire month are ADVANCE, BUILD, ENTERTAIN, MOVE, PRODUCE, SAIL, STUDY, TEACH and WORK.

Atlantis Nexus:

There are three methods of departing the starting cities. The first is by land, but keep in mind that the lands immediately surrounding the starting cities will tend to be highly populated, and possibly quite dangerous to travel. The second is by sea; all of the starting cities lie against an ocean, and a faction may easily purchase wood and construct a ship to SAIL away. Be wary of pirates seeking to prey on new factions, however! And last, rumors of a magical Gate Lore suggest yet another way to travel from the starting cities. The rumors are vague, but factions wishing to travel far from the starting cities, taking only a few men with them, might wish to pursue this method.

Movement

Normal Movement:

Flying units are not initially available to starting players. A unit can ride provided that the carrying capacity of its horses is at least as great as the weight of its people and all other items. A unit can walk provided that the carrying capacity of its people, horses and wagons is at least as great as the weight of all its other items, and provided that it has at least as many horses as wagons (otherwise the excess wagons count as weight, not capacity). Otherwise the unit cannot issue a MOVE order. People weigh 10 units and have a capacity of 5 units; data for items is as follows:

A unit which can fly is capable of travelling over water. However, if the unit ends it's turn over a water hex, that unit will drown.

Since regions are hexagonal, each region has six neighbouring regions to the north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest and northwest. Moving from one region to another normally takes one movement point, except that the following terrain types take two movement points for riding or walking units to enter: Forest, Mountain, Swamp, Jungle and Tundra. Also, during certain seasons (depending on the latitude of the region), all units (including flying ones) only have half their normal movement points, as freezing weather makes travel difficult (in the tropics, seasonal hurricane winds and torrential rains have a similar effect). Units may not move through ocean regions without using the SAIL order.

Units may also enter or exit structures while moving. Moving into or out of a structure does not use any movement points at all. Note that a unit can also use the ENTER and LEAVE orders to move in and out of structures, without issuing a MOVE order.

Finally, certain structures contain interior passages to other regions. The MOVE IN order can be used to go through these passages; the movement point cost is equal to the normal cost to enter the destination region.

Example: One man with a horse, sword, and chain mail wants to move north, then northeast. The capacity of the horse is 20 and the weight of the man and other items is 12, so he can ride. The month is April so he has four movement points. He issues the order MOVE NORTH NORTHEAST. First he moves north, into a plain region. This uses one movement point. Then he moves northeast, into a forest region. This uses two movement points, so the movement is completed with one to spare.

Sailing:

Note that a unit on board a sailing ship may not MOVE later in the turn, even if he doesn't issue the SAIL order; sailing is considered to take the whole month. Also, units may not remain on guard while on board a sailing ship; they will have to reissue the GUARD 1 order to guard a region after sailing.

Ships get four movement points per turn. A ship can move from an ocean region to another ocean region, or from a coastal region to an ocean region, or from an ocean region to a coastal region. Ships can only be constructed in coastal regions. For a ship to enter any region only costs one movement point; the cost of two movement points for entering, say, a forest coastal region, does not apply. Ships do, however, only get half movement points during the winter months (or monsoon months in the tropical latitudes).

A ship can only move if the total weight of everything aboard does not exceed the ship's capacity. (The rules do not prevent an overloaded ship from staying afloat, only from moving.) Also, there must be enough sailors aboard (using the SAIL order), to sail the ship, or it will not go anywhere. Note that the sailing skill increases the usefulness of a unit proportionally; thus, a 1 man unit with level 5 sailing skill can sail a longboat alone. (See the section on skills for further details on skills.) The capacities (and costs in labor units) of the various ship types are as follows:

Order of Movement:

Normal movement in Atlantis, meaning ADVANCE and MOVE orders, is processed one hex of movement at a time, region by region. So, Atlantis cycles through all of the regions; for each region, it finds any units that wish to move, and moves them (if they can move) one hex (and only one hex). After processing one such region, it initiates any battles that take place due to these movements, and then moves on to the next region. After it has gone through all of the regions, you will note that units have only moved one hex, so it goes back and does the whole process again, except this time moving units their second hex (if they have enough movement points left). This continues until no units can move anymore.

Sailing is handled differently; Atlantis cycles through all of the ships in Atlantis, moving them one at a time. When Atlantis sails a ship, it sails it through it's entire course, and then moves onto the next ship.

Note that in either case, the order in which the regions are processed is undefined by the rules. The computer generally does them in the same order every time, but it is up to the wiles of the player to determine (or not) these patterns. The order in which units or ships are moved within a region is the order that they appear on a turn report.

Skills

Limitations:

Studying:

Most skills cost $10 per person per month to study (in addition to normal maintenance costs). The exceptions are Stealth and Observation (both of which cost $50), Magic skills (which cost $100), and Tactics (which costs $200).

Teaching:

Note that it is quite possible for a single unit to teach two or more other units different skills in the same month, provided that the teacher has a higher skill level than each student in the skill that that student is studying, and that there are no more than 10 students per teacher.

Note: Only leaders may use the TEACH order.

Skill Reports:

  Shoemaking 3:  A unit possessing this skill may produce
    Sooper Dooper Air Max Winged Sandals.  Use PRODUCE
    Winged Sandals to produce this item.

The Economy

Maintenance Costs:

This fee is generally 10 silver for a normal character, and 20 silver for a leader. If this is not available, units may substitute one unit of grain, livestock, or fish for this maintenance (two units for a leader). A unit may use the CONSUME order to specify that it wishes to use food items in preference to silver. Note that these items are worth more when sold in towns, so selling them and using the money is more economical than using them for maintenance.

Recruiting:

Items:

All items except silver are produced with the PRODUCE order. Example: PRODUCE SWORDS will produce as many swords as possible during the month, provided that the unit has adequate supplies of iron and has the Weaponsmith skill. Required skills and raw materials are in the table above.

If an item requires raw material, then one unit of material is consumed for each item produced. Thus, to produce 5 longbows (a supply of arrows is assumed to be included with the bow), 5 units of wood are required. The higher one's skill, the more productive each man-month of work; thus, 5 longbows could be produced by a 5-man unit of skill 1, or a 1-man unit of skill 5. (Plate armor is an exception; a unit must have skill 3 to be able to produce it at all, and each man can only produce 1 plate armor per month. Plate armor also takes 3 units of iron to produce.) Only Trade factions can issue PRODUCE orders however, regardless of skill levels.

Items which increase production may increase production of advanced items in addition to the basic items listed. Some of them also increase production of other tools. Read the skill descriptions for details on which tools aid which production when not noted above. As noted above, all combat capable tools add 1 to production while all non-combat capable tools add 2, with the exception of lasso's which only add 1.

The first 9 items on the list do not require raw material; they are produced directly from the land. Each region generally has at least one item that can be produced there. Shown on the description of a region is a list of the items that can be produced, and the amount of each that can be produced per month. This depends on the region type; thus, mountains are the best places to quarry stone, and herbs are most commonly found in forests and jungles. It also varies from region to region of the same type. If the units in a region attempt to produce more of a commodity than can be produced that month, then the amount available is distributed among the workers.

Village, Towns, and Cities:

Buildings and Trade Structures:

Roads:

Roads are directional and are only considered to reach from one hexside to the center of the hex. To gain a movement bonus, there must be two connecting roads, one in each adjacent hex. Only one road may be built in each direction. If a road in the given direction is connected, units move along that road at half cost to a minimum of 1 movement point.

For example: If a unit is moving northwest, then hex it is in must have a northwest road, and the hex it is morving into must have a southeast road.

To gain an economy bonus, a hex must have roads that connect to roads in two adjoining hexes. The economy bonus for the connected roads raises the wages in the region by 1 point.

There are six different road structures, one for each direction. They each require 75 stone to build.

Unlike other structures, roads will decay over time if they are not maintained. Difficult terrain and bad weather will speed this decay. Maintnenance involves having units with the appropriate level of building skill expend a small amount of stone and labor on a fairly regular basis in the exactly same manner as they would finish building it if it was not completed. In other words, enter the structure and issue the BUILD command with no parameters.

Once a road decays, it will give no bonuses until it is repaired.

The capacity of a ship is the maximum weight that the ship may have aboard and still move. The cost is both the person-months of labor and the number of units of wood required to complete the ship. The sailors are the number of skill levels of the Sailing skill that must be aboard the ship (and issuing the SAIL order in order for the ship to sail).

Advanced Items:

Income:

Entertainment:

Taxing/Pillaging:

War factions may also pillage a region. To do this requires the faction to have enough combat trained men in the region to tax half of the available money in the region. The total amount of money that can be pillaged will then be shared out between every combat trained unit that issues the PILLAGE order. The amount of money collected is equal to twice the available tax money. However, the economy of the region will be seriously damaged by pillaging, and will only slowly recover over time. Note that PILLAGE comes before TAX, so TAX will collect no money in that region that month.

It is possible to safeguard one's tax income in regions one controls. Units which have the Guard flag set (using the GUARD order) will block TAX orders issued by other factions in the same region, unless you have declared the faction in question Friendly. Units on guard will also block PILLAGE orders issued by other factions in the same region, regardless of your attitude towards the faction in question, and they will attempt to prevent Unfriendly units from entering the region. Only units which are able to tax may be on guard. Units on guard are always visible regardless of Stealth skill, and will be marked as being "on guard" in the region description.

Combat

Attitudes:

Ally means that you will fight to defend units of that faction whenever they come under attack, if you have non-avoiding units in the region where the attack occurs. You will also prevent stealing and assassination attempts against units of the faction, if you are capable of seeing the unit attempting the crime. It also has the implications of the Friendly attitude.

Friendly means that you will accept gifts from units of that faction. This includes the giving of items, units of people, and the teaching of skills. You will also admit units of that faction into buildings or ships owned by one of your units, and you will permit units of that faction to collect taxes (but not pillage) in regions where you have units on guard.

Unfriendly means that you will not admit units of that faction into any region where you have units on guard. You will not, however, automatically attack unfriendly units which are already present.

Hostile means that any of your units which do not have the Avoid Combat flag set (using the AVOID order) will attack any units of that faction wherever they find them.

If a unit can see another unit, but does not have high enough Observation skill to determine its faction, it will treat the unit using the faction's default attitude, even if the unit belongs to an Unfriendly or Hostile faction, because it does not know the unit's identity. However, if your faction has declared an attitude of Friendly or Ally towards that unit's faction, the unit will be treated with the better attitude; it is assumed that the unit will produce proof of identity when relevant. (See the section on stealth for more information on when units can see each other.)

If a faction declares Unfriendly or Hostile as default attitude (the latter is a good way to die fast), it will block or attack unidentified units, unless they belong to factions for which a more friendly attitude has been specifically declared. Units which cannot be seen at all cannot be directly blocked or attacked, of course.

Attacking:

Secondly, the attacking unit must be able to catch the unit it wishes to attack. A unit may only catch a unit if its effective Riding skill is greater than or equal to the target unit's effective Riding skill; otherwise, the target unit just rides away from the attacking unit. Effective Riding is the unit's Riding skill, but with a potential maximum; if the unit can not ride, the effective Riding skill is 0; if the unit can ride, the maximum effective Riding is 3; if the unit can fly, the maximum effective Riding is 5. Note that the effective Riding also depends on whether the unit is attempting to attack or defend; for attack purposes, only one man in the unit needs to be able to ride or fly (generally, this means one of the men must possess a horse, or other form of transportation), whereas for defense purposes the entire unit needs to be able to ride or fly (usually meaning that every man in the unit must possess a horse or other form of speedier transportation). Also, note that for a unit to be able to use its defensive Riding ability to avoid attack, the unit cannot be in a building, ship, or structure of any type.

A unit which is on guard, and is Unfriendly towards a unit, will deny access to units using the MOVE order to enter its region. Note that to deny access to a unit, the guarding unit must satisfy the two above requirements; namely, it must be able to see the unit, and also be able to catch the unit. A unit using ADVANCE instead of MOVE to enter a region, will attack any units that identify it as Unfriendly and attempt to deny it access. If the advancing unit loses the battle, it will be forced to retreat to the previous region it moved through. If the unit wins the battle and its army doesn't lose any men, it is allowed to continue to move, provided that it has enough movement points.

Note that neither of these restrictions apply for sea combat, as units within a ship are always visible, and Riding does not play a part in combat on board ships.

The Muster:

On the attacking side are all units of the attacking faction in the region where the fight is taking place, except those with Avoid Combat set. A unit which has explicitly issued an ATTACK order will join the fight anyway, regardless of Avoid Combat.

Also on the attacking side are all units of other factions that attacked the target faction in the region where the fight is taking place. In other words, if several factions attack one, then all their armies join together to attack at the same time (even if they are enemies and will later fight each other).

On the defending side are all identifiable units belonging to the defending faction. If a unit has Avoid Combat set, and its faction cannot be identified by the attacking faction, it will not be involved in the battle. A unit which was explicitly attacked will be involved anyway, regardless of Avoid Combat. (This means that Avoid Combat is mostly useful for high stealth scouts.) Also, all non-avoiding units in factions allied with the defending unit will join in on the defending side.

Units in adjacent regions can also become involved. This is the exception to the general rule that you cannot interact with units in a different region.

If a faction has at least one unit involved in the initial region, then any units in adjacent regions will join the fight, if they could reach the region and do not have Avoid Combat set. There are a few flags that units may set to affect this; a unit with the Hold flag (set using the HOLD order) will not join battles in adjacent regions. This flag applies to both attacking and defending factions. A unit with the Noaid flag (set using the NOAID order) will receive no aid from adjacent hexes when attacked, or when it issues an attack.

Example: A fight starts in region A, in the initial combat phase (before any movement has occurred). The defender has a unit of soldiers in adjacent region B. They have 2 movement points at this stage. They will buy horses later in the turn, so that when they execute their MOVE order they will have 4 movement points, but right now they have 2. Region A is forest but fortunately it is summer so the soldiers can join the fight.

It is important to note that the units in nearby regions do not actually move to the region where the fighting happens; the computer only checks that they could move there. (In game world terms, presumably they did move there to join the fight, and then moved back where they started.) The computer checks for weight allowances and terrain types when determining whether a unit could reach the scene of the battle. Note that the use of ships is not allowed in this virtual movement.

If you order an attack on an ally (either with the ATTACK order, or if your ally has declared you Unfriendly, by attempting to ADVANCE into a region which he is guarding), then your commander will decide that a mistake has occurred somewhere, and withdraw your troops from the fighting altogether. Thus, your units will not attack that faction in that region. Note that you will always defend an ally against attack, even if it means that you fight against other factions that you are allied with.

The Battle:

Victory!

If you are expecting to fight an enemy who is carrying so much equipment that you would not be able to move after picking it up, and you want to move to another region later that month, it may be worth issuing some orders to drop items (with the GIVE 0 order) in case you win the battle! Also, note that if the winning side took any losses in the battle, any units on this side will not be allowed to move, or attack again for the rest of the turn.

Stealth and Observation

Stealing:

If the thief has higher Stealth than any of the target faction's units have Observation (i.e. the thief cannot be seen by the target faction), the theft will succeed. The target faction will be told what was stolen, but not by whom. If the specified item is silver, then $200 or half the total available, whichever is less, will be stolen. If it is any other item, then only one will be stolen (if available).

Any unit with high enough Observation to see the thief will see the attempt to steal, whether the attempt is successful or not. Allies of the target unit will prevent the theft, if they have high enough Observation to see the unit trying to steal.

Assassination:

Success for assassination is determined as for theft, i.e. the assassin will fail if any of the target faction's units can see him. In this case, the assassin will flee, and the target faction will be informed which unit made the attempt. As with theft, allies of the target unit will prevent the assassination from succeeding, if their Observation level is high enough.

If the assassin has higher Stealth than any of the target faction's units have Observation, then a one-on-one fight will take place between the assassin and the target character. The assassin automatically gets a free round of attacks; after that, the battle is handled like a normal fight, with the exception that neither assassin nor victim can use chain mail or plate armor (the assassin because he cannot sneak around wearing metal armor, the victim because he was caught by surprise with his armor off). If the assassin wins, the target faction is told merely that the victim was assassinated, but not by whom. If the victim wins, then the target faction learns which unit made the attempt. (Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the assassin's faction is known.) The winner of the fight gets 50% of the loser's property as usual.

STEAL and ASSASSINATE are not full month orders, and do not interfere with other activities, but a unit can only issue one STEAL order or one ASSASSINATE order in a month.

Magic

Using Magic:

Secondly, some spells are for use in combat. A mage may specify that he wishes to use a spell in combat by issuing the COMBAT order. A combat spell specified in this way will only be used if the mage finds himself taking part in a battle. The third type of spell use is for spells that take an entire month to cast. These spells are cast by the mage issuing the CAST order. Because CAST takes an entire month, a mage may use only one of this type of spell each turn. Note, however, that a CAST order is not a full month order; a mage may still MOVE , STUDY , or any other month long order. The justification for this (as well as being for game balance) is that a spell drains a mage of his magic power for the month, but does not actually take the entire month to cast.

The description that a mage receives when he first learns a spell specifies the manner in which the spell is used (automatic, in combat, or by casting).

If you have a password set, you must specify it on you #atlantis line, or the game will reject your orders. See the PASSWORD order for more details.

Each type of order is designated by giving a keyword as the first non-blank item on a line. Parameters are given after this, separated by spaces or tabs. Blank lines are permitted, as are comments; anything after a semicolon is treated as a comment (provided the semicolon is not in the middle of a word).

The parser is not case sensitive, so all commands may be given in upper case, low case or a mixture of the two. However, when supplying names containing spaces, the name must be surrounded by double quotes, or else underscore characters must be used in place of spaces in the name. (These things apply to the #ATLANTIS and #END lines as well as to order lines.)

You may precede orders with the at sign (@), in which case they will appear in the Template at the bottom of your report. This is useful for orders which your units repeat for several months in a row.
