Im looking for some people to help build the spawn area up. I will give you op status and you will basically run the server with me.
This server will allow TNT, Traps, and Cannons. PvP based. I also offer the server to test any traps or concepts you want. Once damage is fixed, I''ll create a official topic and we can start trying out actual battles in game. So please leave a reply and I will pm you the ip.

I will be on tomorrow after work and will pm you guys the ip asap. Once I get you guys set up as mods, the server will be 24/7. Im just not sure if all the plugins and stuff are set up correctly right now. And I just want to be on when you guys are. Im also looking for people familiar with running a server. Im kinda new at this.
I also set up the servers first trap. Cant wait to show you guys.
You could make an underwater base. you dont even have to abuse a glitch like the doors or ladders. just dig down for a bit, then dig to the side. After that, dig up. there wont be water above you, because thats where blocks were. dig out your base from there.
Also, you could make a trap room. You would have to open it with a lever. the lever would be connected to redstone that sends a charge through delay inverters to tnt in the roof and the floor. the ones in the roof would detonate, revealing lava to fall down on the player. the ones in the floor would be like one of those pits that was mentioned really early on in this thread. exept at the bottom of the pit is more lava.
How do you guys feel about me converting my old Minecraft Scientific Foundation forums [which NOBODY in the MSF seems to be taking advantage of except for me...] into an Art of War forum? Would you guys be interested... or should we just stick to minecraftforum.net?
I've been toying with the idea of starting up a new clan. People who have positions already in the War Room at the MSF like Head of Naval Operations would retain those titles. We could make the old MSF forums the new clan forums... I'll start drawing up the plans for a clan and if you guys like the idea I'll post it up and it'll be official.

I was working on high-speed two-wired comunication between bases. In redstone simulator it works, but in real minecraft world it doesn't. After some debugging, I found that pulse-genarators A and B are not working (Windows XP; Minecraft Alpha v.1.2.2; tiny and small rendering distances; 2 blocks above top layer of adminium; both day and night). Should I continue making it in simulator until pulse-genarators will work, or make it three times slower and build it in minecraft?

I love this idea. As long as we only are there to learn more about combat.
I have my own clan to take care of, so don't expect me to be a massive contributing member when pvp comes around.

Hmmm, that sounds good. I think a while back I was going to ask if you ever planned on starting a clan dedicated to this type of Minecraft War.
Sorry I haven't posted lately though, I've been low on ideas and never really had anything worth saying.
I lowe idea of minecraft wars, but how much ppl avarage minecraft server can handle? think about that if example 4 teams of 15-20 player sised wars, that would alredy be epic
other thing i tougth is arrange squads of few ppl to assinge spesial missinos in war, i tougth up some.
(yeah i know pig riding dosent work yet but think while reading this that it works perfectly and that riders move greatly faster than foot soldiers)
1. Combat squads
front line infantry squad:
+2 men eguipped whit swords and regular armor.
1 squad leader, riding pig whit sword or bow. armor depends on weapon, if leader has bow armor, is low quality, if he/she has sword eguipped leader has same armor as followers.
basic squad to defense and offense. Squed leader is whom assings orders when there is no orders from general(?)
(general, good idea, bad idea?)
Skirmisher squad:
meant to straigh warfare
+2 soldiers egguipped whit bows and low (if none) armor
1 soldier egguipped with high quality sword+armor
idea is that the bow-men shoot enemy from far (duh.) but in situation whre enemy get too close bowmen retreat while swordman holds enemy back to give bowmen time to escape.
Cavalry:
2-4 soldiers riding pigs, eguipped usually whit swords, sometimes bows, rarely flint and steel, depending on the mission priorites.
their usual objectives are flanking the enemy, or assaulting archers, sometimes raiding enemys economy (destroy minetracks, burn down forests and other nice stuff)
2. Espionage squads:
meant to hidden warfare
Spy (squad?)
1(or more?) is eguipped whit almos nothing (migth hawe something like compass for better scouting?), it is meant to investigate area of planned attack to find out: for example, redstone traps, cannons, defensive structures, amount of enemy troops is area worth of capturing, is there minecart-tracks to resupply troops and anything that migth affect the possible invasion.
Tieft
tieft works alone, he is eguipped only whit the most important, like showel to dig under enemy walls or something along those lines. Tieft's job is to find anything that is valuable to enemy and steal it for the use of his own team, missions are really hard but if he succeeds, he he will deal major hit to the enemy.
Saboteer squad (Scorched Earth Tactics, i think that souds just epic :biggrin.gif:)
1-3 soldiers. idea of saboteers is "if we cant hawe it, neither can enemy" in other word destroy ewerything that has some use for enemy, burn forest's, se mines on enymy's minecatr tracks, blow up enemy supply depots and defense towers, pour lava to enemy base, set trap ewerywhere in enemy terroritory. and if enemy is about to congure you'r base/defense tower blow it up!
3. Other
herers something that did not fit either of last gategories.
Engineers
Number varies. engineers forms spine of army, they build traps for enemy, item depots and stuff during "peace"
but when battling starts they are in the most important part,they build minecart traks to get supplies (food,weapons,armor) to battlefiedl fast, they build fortifications (watch-towers,trenches,forts) to hold new borders, and build tnt cannons in fort siege's.
So there something i tougth up, tell wht did u think of them, i hope you like my ideas and dont kill me for bad grammar :tongue.gif:

Many good things come from Sweden, like minecraft and.... umm.... did i alredy say minecraft?
if u put redstone in jukebox, will it play redzone?
Im interested to see how fishing rods will work against other players. If it works like on mobs a skilled aim would be able to pick people off the battlements and into there own lava moat, now that would be interesting ^^.
We have pondered people fishing before. It's a funny thing!
Also: I have created an Orsa Novus Aevum clan thread. This is the clan that will be based on this thread. If you're interested, join up! Also, the forum link is artofwar.ideaboard.net
@Smurf, if you still read this thread.
I'm offering you position of "General of Dark" in the clan, if you're interested.
@Spehss Mahreen
How does "General of Fire - Spehss Mahreen" sound for you?
I mean... I realize you're leading another clan, but you're most cut out for the job at the moment. You don't have to fight with us if you don't want to.
@Aninimouse,Kromeh,Joe51498 if you're still here...
You guys are:
General of Light- Aninimouse
General of Earth- Kromeh
General of Water- Joe
If anyone is confused... just check out the Orsa Novus Aevum thread.
@ Munkki100
Are you swedish?
I agree it might be a problem having so many people on one server... hopefully some people are able to host servers with very stable connections!
I like the idea of squads, but I think every army should be able to make their own squads. I might write up something about how to choose specific soldiers for each squad.
Cavalry would be great if you could actually control the pigs. And if they went fast.

There is a bit about using redstone lines to tell the main base if a fort is under attack. Well, you could go further than this if you wanted too. You could set up additional lines to the forts leading from the main base. in a manner similar to the the distress signals, you would place signs saying what each light indicates. that way, you could give simple orders/information without sending a messenger (such as warning them of an attack, telling them to begin to send resources to another fort, or informing them that a fort has been lost/captured). I would also imagine that a long-term spy might set up a small hidden house near the enemies fortress. he might also be able to send messages (for example, he always activates the line at the end of the minecraft day to let you know he is okay, or lighting up a line if he has been compromised). In addition to that, if you have people who know morse code, you might be able to use that for more complex stuff, although the delay would be a problem. Alternatively you might have a fort almost solely dedicated to being a communications hub, and although I cant see any good reason to do it that way, maybe someone else would be able to.
Just want to point out that, although all these devices for communicating between bases sound really cool, I don't think there's really much point outside of an RP server unless you can somehow come up with one that works better than:
Enter
*type message*
Enter
And if there's no team chat for you to keep your messages secret, there is still Ventrilo and similar programs.
Valerius_Maximus, my good sir, I've been lurking in this thread for a while. This group has been working on concepts that will change war in Minecraft. It is understood that no everyone will follow these rules, nor will we be the only for of combat. But I believe that with the great minds present and with soliders that fight for their clans, that we will be a force to watch out for.
As a side note, I've applied for your Clan and the Dawn of the New Age board. I'm a decent MC player, and I have contruction experiance. I think I'd be a fine addition to your army.
Lastly, I've been playing around with building a world based around the concept of having a "Home" Server. A place where new members can learn things among their allies. One team building a base, while under attack by another team working on fire drills. It's a rudementery idea, but I think it has potential.
*Edit* Also the thought of uploading training worlds, so new players can have a basic level of training before intering war on a larger scale.
@Obolisk
Interesting, using redstone to communicate different facts could have potential.
but... Starsky has a point.
@Starsky
Yeah... I guess ventrillo and teamspeak would remove the necessity for such things, you're right.
@Sento Fernner
Welcome aboard!
I think training will be a vital part of minecraft war, running through drills and knowing how to execute manuevers at the right time is important indeed.
Let the mistakes be made before the real fights begin.

I love the morse code in supply carts idea... it's very clever.
You could also use it for your own codes, not just morse.
