Ongoing war within Stormhaven?

[Batu]

So I had this idea while I was sitting in my training class at work.

If anyone is familiar with Darkon, this may ring some bells if not be a blatant rip-off. Maybe.

I am proposing a war between two factions (red vs. blue) at practice. For example we do 3 or 4 hours of normal games and the ending hour or two is this Warring Factions game.

Essentially we take the Stormhaven map, overlay a hex grid, and fight over territories. Each place has a terrain (mountain, water, forest, or field) and we do a specific goal (i.e. king battle, CTF, etc.) Team captains are selected and the teams are divided up evenly and fairly. The teams fight those matches and whoever wins claims that territory and becomes 'the aggressor'.

The aggressor then decides which territory they'll move to next in the hex grid to contend over territories. And again if the same winner is the aggressor, they get to choose where they fight next.

The terrain is set up based on the Stormhaven map.
Mountains would have pit falls (equals death if in them) and peaks (impassable, no missiles, etc.)

Water would have boats thrown into the mix, like a Mili 5.

Forest would be fought in North Quad, Christie Woods, or the like.

And field would be regular indoor turf or University Green.

Maybe this would be something to leave as a legacy for Stormhaven? Or we can disregard and continue the light-hearted jests and bouts of tomfoolery on the green. Which is still awesome.

A post on the national dag forums prompted me to continue this endeavor.

I think we could do this within Stormhaven, or set it up where we "invade" other realms and take their lands, so long as we have volunteers from Mittelmarch, Kanthea, Bloodpool, etc.

you know what is hilariously funny? On the way back from wolfpack opener last night we talked about this.

Mittlemarch & Northern Steppes are game.

That's awesome that you brought this up. :] So! We're going to be doing this. But between realms in Land Between the Lands (indiana)

So I think Nichtmar will set up the map and we'll have to work out a few things. But we wanted more of an excuse to have events in Indiana more often. Not having to drive 3/4/5 hours to an event just because there wasn't going to be one closer is no fun.

So! yea. We're doing this, not within Stormhaven, but Indiana. So we'll all need to band together to beat Mittlemarch/Northern Steppes. :]

Wow. and you first posted that in November. I just saw this too. Huh. I feel behind.

Well I think we should relate to NS and MM like a codifying of things.

Do we make it so that if we at Stormhaven defeat Mittelmarch, do they throw up a flag bearing our symbol to show our dominance and vice-versa? Do we lay it out like a hex grid and so on the lake/river tiles we do a mock-sea battle or the forest tiles we have to fight in the woods?

I really like those ideas, but maybe we hash our end out and give it to NS and MM?

Im all for this. Ill talk to my unit leader about it but i think you can count my unit/realm in.
