The BrikWars Forums

This is a forum battle that I'm styling a bit differently than normal.

Instead of using LEGO, I will sprite, by hand, all of the fleets, maps, and events. It will use the (soon to be) updated BrikSpace v1.5 ruleset.

Once the start thread goes up (entitled The Abyssal Maw - Start), you all will be able to apply for the battle. Depending on how it goes, it may be similar in concept to my previously long dead BrikSpace forum battle, in the fact that it has the potential to be a full campaign.

Once you apply for the battle, you will give me an idea for a fleet, and some basic design ideas for me to sprite. In essence, you get your very own customized fleet for use here, and anywhere. After the battle, you will also have the choice to keep the spritesheet with your fleet on it.

There will probably be 4-6 slots.

THIS thread is for format ideas and other such things. General game discussion will also occur here (to keep the actual game from being swamped with extraneous comments).

You mean like an LDD battle? That's been tried before, but the host had to cancel after 1 turn -- I guess it was just a lot of work. PM Dilanski if you want to ask him about it.

Not quite what I meant, but similar.

Here,like so.

...So basically PW?

But combined with BrikWars style rulesets.

I have the distinct feeling it'd be absolutely amazing.

I can only get a thumbnail image of that fleet. It looks awesome, though.

That's all there is

It's sprited, pixel-by-pixel, so they're going to generally small, but that makes them easy to edit and view.

Note: Once I get a bit more support and consent from the BrikWars populous, I'll begin brainstorming format and editing and such other matters.

For instance, fleet design will be entirely up to the player. I will sprite whatever fleet suggestions I get to the best of my ability.

But that will take effect once the Start Thread pops up, which may or may not be soon. Depends on the reactions I get.

This sounds like a really good idea. Let me get this strait: So instead of the ruleless anarchy that is PW, a game based on PW, using BrikSpace rules?

You hit the nail on the head, my friend.

Screw it, production starts now.

This is now officially the thread for suggestions on the upcoming (and probably very first) sprited BrikSpace forum battle!

yay, no more camera!

Count me in. Should I sprite a fleet? Also, how do you plan to measure movement and range?

Read the OP. I'll sprite it for you.

Oh, awesome.

Not sure if I approve this to be posted here.

I figured there'd be an issue with you, Pes. Sorry.

If you'd like me to get someone to move it, you're welcome to. I meant no harm in posting it in the Forum Battles section, seeing as it IS a forum battle.
