Battle for capua (GFX battle site)

Battle for capua.com is a website for designers that want to battle.. only we combined textbased PHP games with GFX battles.. that will give everyone a fresh look on batteling :)

we espect a lot of members becouse the concept is kinda new.. We combined GFX battles with a PHP text based game with money honour and stuff you can buy to increase your strenght and improve..

Its also a great way of learning how to work with GFX software becouse you want to score points (by voting) and earn money for it.. (how more votes how more cash, votes X the item you use (like 12X) X 2.. and that is what you get in cash (setertien))
we used the roman theme becouse of the gladiators.. they did free for all battles in the arena.. teambattles but they also fought 1on1.. so we thought it would be nice to call the members gladiators..

the more you play the more money you get (also for voting) and that is what keeps the community alive..

we launch @ end of nex week...

Nice concept, seems it has potential but the overall site needs more work. Heres what the BioALIEN would improve:
The main page counts for a lot since its the first thing the user sees, and from that point they will make an assumption whether the rest of the site is good or bad. Therefore, u need to work on that main page, show that its a site to be taken seriously. Remove that noobish NedStat counter, ur server already tracks hits so why get down and dirty with 3rd party services?

You need to show that this community is alive, stuff like how many registered users, how many people online and whats the latest activity is all needed to make this place a success. People need to feel close, and involved - give them everything they want to see in terms of data such as battles fought, current battles, awaiting battles etc.

Colour scheme and layout wise, i think you're heading in the right direction but still needs more work.

Overall, good concept wish u all the success 8)

Goodconcept but needs more work, such as:
1. Make that stone wall texture more realistic for example look at ww.blizzard.com = Warcraft game section
2. Those sections that a painted in brown need much work also. For examples look on same website mentioned in 1.

Very nice idea. RedD already said about the bricks, I think his right. Some idea: maybe you'll make the preview of battles for the unregistered users :idea:

I just can't understand how it all works: money, heroes, slaves... don't you have text information?

Bio, RedD, Blaze (congrats bytheway ;) and thanx for registering)..

thanx for the tips.. :) thats the feedback i need :)..
i am gonna try to make it possible.. but i am not the one who is good in bringing up the stats.. :)..
so uuhmm.. i'll talk to the team about it :)

the informationpage is currently under construction..
i find it hard to explain it in english.. so i am thinking of starting again and do it in dutch and after that asking someone to translate it for me..

but:
The hero and slave stuff is for Teambattles..

there are 3 types of battles:
1on1 (seems logic)
FFA (free for all) 1 subject and everybody can reply on it
Team battle (also still under construction becouse you need a load of members for this type)..
teambattles are possible in 4vs4\6vs6 and 8vs8...

The hero is the Leader of the group and the slaves are the members..
If you have enough money as a slave to buy the hero's position you can buy him away.. so he will become a member..
so if he is an ass and doesnt arrange battles with other heros.. (there are 4 now but soon there will be more.. we have to recearche some stuff, maybe aghamendon(or something) and the other guy from troy.. but i dont know if he was a king.. and it was to early i think..)

As said in the main post: YOu can fight.. earn money.. but if you start a battle you lose money.. so you have to earn it back.. by winning..

or voting.. (+2 sestertien)..

hmm.. :p.. understand?
so its more like a game.. around the battles.. to keep it fun.. you can improve your caracter by buying categories.. and when we put the items in the DB also by unlocking(buying) new items.. (the items multiply the votes amount and then X 2.. so it can have a serious impact on the voting count.. and if you are strong enough, if you have all the items, you can blow a newbee away.. if you have the audience with you)

Good idea, some kidn of RPG Design, really fresh. You shoudl register it, so you can earn some cahs in future if this idea grows up.

i am already thingking of putting the idea safe.. on paper..

Dont think until i do it ad you will pay me :D Hahaha :D

whahaa :p you sick bastard.. ;)

ontopic..
i worte a documentation.. but its in dutch only.. yet.. I am not good enough to translate it so if someone speaks dutch and english ;) and you want to translate.. post it ;)..
from english to other languages is okay to ;)
223 lines of documentation..

This can be problem. Well write your english version and give to soem Bio or Sith, they are ative speakers, so they fix the grammar.

:) if bio agrees ;) and if he can find the time to check it..
or sith ;)

:) Possibly Bio wont help ya, since he is always busy :)

SITH!!! :)

if he registers he he'll get some extra cash ;)

Lets keep this on topic before i lock this post and take away the points. :!:
I got exams at the moment and involved in multiple projects, so most likely wont be able to help! Holidays are approaching too!

People already outlined what needs to be done, so get your act together and start developing it. Less spam more work :arrow:

Another Idea: Make the gog after each visit as it is on gfxdiary so that I haven't type my password always. :idea:

And how can I participate in battle. I made smth. for Ice cold battle but I don't know how to post it.

And btw when will be the voting?

Cookies.. under construction ;)

to 'attack' in a battle.. you can see in the stone bar on the right side.. a small link 'attack'

the voting starts:
1on1 - when there are 2 attacks placed
ffa - when the deadline expires..

english documentation available..

and we launched today :)

:? the site is down, i thought u already launched? Dont tell me ur server crashed, thats the biggest thing that can go wrong! Anyway, i've been too busy lately so sorry i missed all ur messages on MSN! But goodluck with the project :D

What about forums? I can't create new topic! :(
Another question: If I am run out of money I can't participate in battles? :?:

Forums: nothing but problems.. :S..

2nd: you can go till - 10.. then your account will be blocked and reset.. (manually by a admin)
when we got the rank-stuff finished, you will go 1 rank back when you pass the -10 and then your money will be set to 200..

:( That's not very good! I've spent almost all of my money (have only 32)...

[edit]Now I have 232! :shock: I like it... :)[/edit]

:D *wistles* ;)

you sounded so damn sad.. so i gove you some extra ;).. (to encourage batteling ;))

Heh :) Give me too :D

When will shop appear?

Well some quick questions to answer:
1. What the difference between different gladiator types?
2. Why i can view others peeps entries in battles?

And soem suggestions:
1. Need some spelling changes
2. The whole layout should be fixed, looks really "wet"
3. Money icon looks like cookies :) mmmmm so tasty :D

Peace SE
Fresh idea, be sure i stay around it for some time.

"1. What the difference between different gladiator types?"
well.. the items.. you'll notice that later on when you got more money :).. you can buy those to multiply your voting amount.. :)

"2. Why i can view others peeps entries in battles? "
else it would be unfair.. you can copy someones work.. this way you dont have the influence of the oppoment's piece..

and the suggestions are written down :) added to my list :)..
and i like cookies :) mjummy.. should i add some chocolate? ;)

Do you working on the item list? Wanna see what they will be. I've got some ideas but it's just my thoughts...
P.S.
:D Thanx for money... ;)

yeah.. we got the items fixed in the script at this moment.. but we want to put them in the DB.. so you can but them and use them in a battle for a small price..

we got now 3 items for every gladiator.. 2 attack and 1 defensive.. but we have to give some shape to the defensive... it takes time.. its one of the most complicated parts of BFC..

and uhhmm.. np ;)

Whish you luck in your work!
