Hello there AG citizens! I'm theEPICgameKING. For a while now, Kylelolcat allowed me control of his CtO spinoff: Destroy Lolcatia! Unfortunately, probably from me taking over (with his permission) and adding new RPG elements every turn (The famed: Postly Updates~), most people have now left. That makes me sad...AND DETERMINED! This game, 100% my own creation, parallels Kyle's CtO's while still being unique in that it is an RPG too! This game combines the RPG elements of Heroes, Magic, and an XP/Level system while also incorporating the strategy elements of Colony, Age of War, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Age of Empires (And every other war game), NOT TO MENTION the luck of the dice from Backgammon! Yes, it's a THREE-IN-ONE game! What could be better? Here's the Stat sheet I will be using:

Admin Stuff (For me)

Never seen anything like it, right? Well, i'll try to explain.
Resources: Wood, Stone, Metal, etc. Resources are needed to build Buildings and Troops, and
repair/level your Wall. Note that the Target Building CANNOT be repaired. It can be leveled to have
more HP, though.
The Wall: Attacking units must break through the Wall before attacking the Target building.
This is tough to do, but Armor units, with their extra attack power, do best against the Wall.
Buildings: Stuff like a Quarry, Generator, Bank, etc. These produce resources. Depending on
your Base Type, you will start with different starting buildings.
Troops: I'm personally proud of this. Troops have Types; Infantry, Armor, Support, and
Striker.
Infantry are your basic foot soldiers, armed with melee weapons like swords and axes. The backbone
of any army, Infantry troops do well against Support, but lose against Armor.
Armor units are high-defence, slow-moving units like Knights and Tanks. Able to bear lots of
damage, Armor units smash through Infantry but are too slow to fight against Strikers.
Strikers are those sneaky, fragile assassin units, like Saboteurs and ninjas. Strikers can backstab
Armor units, but due to weak constitution they're easy to be picked off by Support types.
Support units stay back behind the front line. Archers, Snipers, as well as Healers and Workers are
all Support types. They can pick off Strikers, but have low defence and easily get owned by
Infantry.

Subtypes: There are a few Subtypes in addition to the basic Type of units.
Flying: Flying units can only be attacked by Support and other Flying units.
Healers help...heal, units and Heroes. Priests, Doctors, etc.
Workers are your workforce! What, you thought Buildings ran themselves? A lot of Workers, while
being suckish at combat, enhance your Resource income. With enough of them, you could be getting
DOUBLE your normal income rate!

Rank/Tier: These just explain how good your units are. You can train your units for 20% of
their starting cost to up their Rank once, and once they reach Rank 5, they're maxed and cant
upgrade anymore, but are now equal to a Rank 1 unit of the next Tier. Obviously, the best unit is a
Tier 5, Rank 5. Rank is represented by *'s next to the unit name.
Heroes: You, the player, are a Hero! You have a Type just like units, but instead of
Tier/Rank you have a Level! Doing things like killing enemies, etc. gives you XP. It takes more XP
to level up more; 1000 XP gets a Lvl1 to Lvl2, but you need 2000 to get from Lvl2 to Lvl 3. Heroes
can fight eachother when they meet, and the winner takes 10% of the TOTAL XP of the loser. Total XP
is how much XP you have total. So a Level 3 (0/3000 XP) Hero has 3000 XP (1000 for Level 2+2000 for
Level 3).

Magic: Yes! Every Hero has Magic! Unlike other games where Magic costs a set amount of MP, this
game incorporates Flexible Magic; the more you use, the stronger it is! your hero starts out with
the basics:
Cure, costs X MP and heals 50X HP
Fire: Fire Elemental damage for 25X damage and lowers target's defence, making them take 1.5x more
damage from further attacks. Further levels increase damage and defence lowering.
Ice: Ice Damage for 30x and slows down the target. Further levels increase damage and slow down the
target more.
Thunder: Electrical Damage for 40x and has a 25% chance to stun the target. Further levels increase
damage and stun chance %.
More spells can be discovered later on in the game as your Hero levels up, finds them in Dungeons,
purchases them from the Black Market, or learns them from the monsters/other heroes he/she fights
and defeats. Note that certain items increase a Hero's magic power and max MP, so if you're a
Wizard, look for these.

[b]Some places to visit (For a Hero):

Haunted Beach: Full of low-level ghosts and the occasional lost sword. Good for heroes just
starting out.
Great Plains: No, not the Midwest. Monsters here are tougher, but there's not much treasure
around.
Scary Volcano: Lots of Mines and Dungeons are located in this dormant volcano. The deeper
you go, the stronger the monsters get.
Small/Medium/Large/Jumbo Dungeon: You have to look for these, usually found in the Scary
volcano but not always. Full of treasure and monsters.
Small/Medium/Large/Jumbo Mine: These mines give some of EVERY resource for your Base every
turn. Each Day (4 turns) they degrade to the next level, with Small mines becoming Useless.
Monster Forest: The toughest of all the Locations, Legendary Monsters as well as everything
from the other locations can be found here. Legendary monsters carry supreme Rank 5 Weapons and/or
Armor, but they're Final Boss tough. Beware.
The Black Market: ANYTHING can be bought here; weapons, armor, new magic spells, even
troops! However, this is Unfair, so don't expect to get a good deal from this. I warned you now.
Base Types: Once everyone's chosen their sides, they'll have to choose a Type for their base. Type is basically your
government structure, influencing how you develop.
Kingdom: Govern as a King! Target building is Royal Palace, Buildings cost 10% less, but all
soldiers also cost Money, a unique resource for this type. Good for those who have a balance
between unit strategy and hero development.
Native Tribe: Be just like the Native Americans! Target building is Chief's Tent, divine
help costs less, but max Population is lowered. A good type for those who like to pray for Acts of
God to smash their enemy rather than beat them outright.

Necropolism: Rule the undead! Target Building is Citadel, Undead can be summoned at a cost of Bodies (Not population; bodies increases with the enemies you kill), as well as normal units. Good for those who enjoy having a swarm of units mindlessly control them.

Anarchy: No government whatsoever...wait, what? Since no one's following you, Heroes gain TRIPLE XP, but cannot build buildings, gather resources, or train units. A real challenge, focusing on Hero development over strategy.

@Gamer: The padlock shatters. If you're going to cheat, don't be a cheapskate. (Zelda Theme: DUH DA DUH DAAAAAA!!) You find: Health tonic (50 HP) [x3]. Use During a turn to revive 50 HP!

You have 50 HP. Are you injured? Just curious.

Gamermartin: Level 6, XP 500/6000 (Support) 50 HP, 100 MP [Aim (Ready)]
Weapon: Hill Giant's mallet (T3-Heavy)
Armor: Crystal Body T3-Light) (Reflective)

Weapon: Elfin Short bow (T4-Light) [Strong Strike (Ready!)]
Armor: Monster Hides (T3-Medium)
Inventory (2/10): Spell book (T3-Light), Strong Healing Herbs (Heals 500 Health)
Abilities: Strong Strike (CD: Ready!)

"Feed me and I shall live" for a longer life!

@Sonic: Why not? Because I've only been GM for two pages. I need to research his battles a few more times before I'm ready for the Dungeon Boss. For the sake of keeping going, but not ruining the fun, the Captain's Quarters are locked. Three keyholes are embedded in one side of the door with a small image:
One has a picture of a cannon.
One has a picture of a ship wheel.
One has a picture of a crow.

No-brainer for your 4-person party. Feel free to split up, but you may encounter enemies....

@Gamer: Ahhhh fail! I forgot to increase your inventory and Selphy (how did Selphy show up? Can you give me a short backstory?) already has +500 Health herbs. Sorry, my mistake. I can give you a new Chest result, if you want to be mean, but remember that there is still another non-boss door...

another prize would be nice and I went into an underground city and found selphy about to be executed, I attacked guards and started a riot to save her but I was injured and she carried me back to the base. Then Epic made it clear she has feelings for me and I am trying to make an army to save her underground city. The evil people are people who dislike Epic(who is a god)and have already attacked the base once. Any questions???

I use all my mp with cure on myself which should get me 5050 hp and I go through door 4

Update tomorrow. Going to bed.

Gamer, do me a huge favor and update your stat sheet (subtract MP, add HP, whatever it was you did). I'm going to re-read all 43 pages tomorrow so hopefully this won't be a problem later.

End battle mode, begin non-battle stuff

@Kyle: The voice, which appears to be coming from behind a pillar, says "Do you wonder what lies beneath the cave? You have seen the tunnel, perhaps even ventured into it. But you cannot survive if you cannot see your way. You must learn to see."

Suddenly the fire on the chest goes out and the room becomes instantly dark. You can literally see nothing. The door you entered, which closed behind you, is now invisible.

"Find me!"

@Gamer: Excellent. Letâs go! This is a good one. You exit the room and go to DOOR 4. You open it and find yourself faced with another square-shaped room. In the center is a round stone table, the same size as the one in room 3. It has the following inscribed on the top:
The beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space.
The start of every end, and
At the end of every place.


-SOLVE IT-

On closer inspection, you see that the letters in SOLVE IT, which are much larger, are tiles, rising up slightly from the table. You can press them.

@Shadow: Last I checked, you were dead. You need to repost your stat sheet for me so I can get you back into your storyline, which is apparently on the pirate ship. You know this is Matt, right? You need to read my posts on page 40 immediately if you havenât.

@Gamer: Dang, didn't update your sheet in the official post. I'll fix it next round. As of now, your HP is restored. Also, in regard to the previous (disappointing) chest, I shall reward you with a much cooler Chest:

You find: Archer's Poison Vial (T2)! A bottle with an incredibly thin neck and wide base with an eerie dark green liquid inside, the Archer's Poison Vial allows an archer to use poison-tipped arrows in combat to deal equal damage in the next turn!

Hmm, for archers. Who could use something like that...

The letter [E] clicks when you press it. The stone table turns white and shines brightly. It was an illusion! When you open your eyes, the table has vanished in a cloud of smoke. In its place is...A HUGE BOMB.

Three powder kegs are lashed together with a large metal box on top. The box has a wide, round dial on the front, labelled 0 to 60 (like a spedometer in a car, but only up to 60). As you watch, the needle starts going from 60 to zero, one notch per second. A timer! Four thick wires are connected to it from four directions. One is blue, one is red, one is green and one is white. A thin knife is resting on top of the box.

Oh, and the door to this room has vanished too.

I look around the room and try to let my eyes become adjusted to the darkness. If that fails, I walk to where the chest was and attempt to open it.

@Kyle: You can't seem to get adjust to the dark because there is literally zero visibility. You walk toward the chest, but something moves and you trip and land on the floor.
