Thread: Lord, City & Hero Themes!

  1. #1

    Default Lord, City & Hero Themes!

    Please Share with me your themes!

    I am a new player, have only messed around here and there on servers but will be playing for real on the next one.

    My Theme for S143 will be places and people from Mr.Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and Poems.


    Lord name: Poe

    Hero Names: Raven, Lenore, Annabel Lee, Eleonora, Ligeia, Berenice, Annie, Dr Tarr, Prof Fether, William Wilson, Valdemar and many others as needed!

    City Names: Valley of Unrest, House of Usher (like the name as a city rather than Usher as a Person), Rue Morgue, Island of the Fay, The River, Haunted Palace, City in the Sea, Dream Land, Eldorado.

    That's a great idea! It would be cool if you could select a theme when you start a new server to automatically suggest city names based on a theme, and provide hero names from that theme. For example, 16th century France, Greek mythology, Spanish Inquisition, etc.

    I have the same theme no matter what server I play on. OCD. If I were to play 50 servers and have 10 cities on each server, every single one would be perfectly identical, organised, the exact same number of troops, all equally proportioned and balanced. And the same hero names, city name, lord name. All valleys at level 10 (I refuse to conquer other levels).

    not hard to come up with an origional theme. I almost did a Marvel one. figured somebody had already done it tho.



    You could do either the "good" side, "evil" side, or both and could use Hero name or secret Identity names to see how many people catch onto the trend.



    Example

    Lord Name: Marvel

    Hero Names: Hulk, Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Captain America, The Flash, X-men names, Daredevil, Punisher, Iron-man, Fantastic Four, Spider Man yada yada yada so many of them and even can use less popular ones

    City Names: Gotham, Atlantis, Metropolis etc.

    No I am well past that point. I once trained 20,000 archers more than I wanted so I deleted them to make it better.

    I once had a Halo theme for my cities. Called my main city Reach, with the others named Harvest and Onyx *plants a bomb*

    Basically, a logistical nightmare.
    Example: you want to insta-conquer a b10. Your furthest city, Bobville, is 100 miles further away than your closest city, Bobville. So you must remember to send the waves from Bobville first, and the waves from Bobville last. You want to clog up your FH's as little as possible: so you try to minimize the camp time. So, you make sure you send the waves from Bobville at least an hour after you've sent the waves from Bobville, which should have been launched about 15 minutes later than those from Bobville.

    Once all the waves are launched, you check in your army movements, to make sure you have 40 waves. Good thing you looked, cos Bobville has only sent 8 waves! You forgot the spearhead! oh my! You know the spearhead must be done with the hero Bob; you know that hero Bob is in Bobville, so it's easy to find which Bobville is the right Bobville (its the one with the lvl300 hero Bob, contrarily to the others who have Bob lvl280, Bob lvl260, Bob lvl258, Bob lvl264 etc)

    Phew. One good thing done - b10 for insta-conquer in 9 hours.
    Problem: Bobville is under attack! Bobville needs reinforcements. So you go to your 5 remaining active Bobvilles, and you send 200k archers from each Bobville to Bobville. And you leave a note in alliance chat, saying Bobville is under attack, so would someone please reinforce Bobville? 10 minutes later, you go to Bobville (the one under attack) and realize that 100k archers are missing! oh my you forgot half of the 200k archers you sent from Bobville. So you click on the city which says Bob on the city-list; and you go to Favorites, click the circle with Bobville next to it, and reinforce with 100k more archers.



    Last time I checked, city names were designed to make things easier for you... so you dont need to remember the coords! If you have 10 Bobvilles and 100 heroes Bob, you will need to remember coords and hero stats, rather than just names...


    BTW: my theme is fruit; with cities CherryFarm, CherryPie, and CherryPop
    Grey is prey, Red is dead.

    Thanks to Tsubasa!

    Ehhh ... I also did that before with some of my cities, usually my war cities ... but I append the base attack. Or just the base attack + a letter. lol

    Mayor / Intel70 / Atk65 / Attack72c / 68b ... that kind of thing. hehe

    Yeah ... I once had a city I named Olympus (a pretty common name in almost every server). Mayor was Zeus (of course) ... Intel was Hermes, the attack heroes were Athena, Poseidon, Artemis, Hades, Hercules, Hephaestus, Apollo, and main attack is Ares.

    And then there's also the one I patterned after Norse mythology:
    City name: Valhalla
    Mayor: Odin
    Intel: Baldr
    Attack heroes: Tyr (main), Thor, Loki, Hel, Freya, Sigmund, Freyr

    ... and I remember doing a "UN" city just for the heck of it.
