I'm happy to announce the release of our custom siege regions plugin, which introduces PvP siege regions to Nations. The wiki page for the plugin can be read here.

Naval and PvP sieges will now be referred to as assaults, and siege regions as assault regions.

 

General Changes

Assault regions are now owned by nations rather than individuals. To begin an assault, a nation member with the rank of general, co-leader or leader must enter an assault region during its attack time windows (/aregion info <region name>) and type /assault begin <region name>.

Item rewards are treated as a stream of nation resources, and monetary rewards are deposited in the nation bank.

 

PvP Assaults

The primary objective of PvP assaults is to control various flags across the map, similar to the team PvP arenas on /server pvp. Flags are marked with beacons. Controlling flags and killing enemy players will award you with points. The assault can end early if one side wins a certain number of points. Precise values can be found in /aregion info <region name>.

PvP assaults have some properties that distinguish them from SiegeWar sieges and Movecraft assaults:

  • Teleportation: Once an assault has started, participants can teleport there (with a cooldown). /assault teleport <region name>
  • No ender pearls.
  • No Movecraft: Crafts cannot enter PvP regions.
  • Keep inventory: Keep inventory is disabled during the preparation phase and enabled during the active phase.
  • Soldier rank: It is necessary to have a soldier rank to participate in a PvP region.
  • War sickness: During an active assault, players who are not allied to the attacking or defending nations will experience war sickness inside the region.

There are currently two PvP regions:

  • America, built by neboogles and MrTurtleGamer
  • Scandinavia, built by JerryDuck and CosmicKingSimp

 

Theaters

All regions except Sahara are organised into theaters of war, of which there are currently three:

  • Maritime Silk Road:
    • Indian Ocean
    • Pacific
    • Mediterranean
  • Europe:
    • Scandinavia
    • North Atlantic
    • Mediterranean
  • America:
    • America
    • North Atlantic
    • South Atlantic

Controlling every region inside a theater provides your nation with bonus rewards! Check /theater info <theater name> for more information.

You may notice there is overlap between theaters; this is intentional.

 

Movecraft Assaults

Movecraft battles remain largely the same, with a few changes:

  • During an assault, crafts piloted by non-participants will be denied entry to the assault region.
  • The concept of a "flagship" has been removed; attackers will earn points from capping even if the assault-starter's craft is sunk.

 

More Flexibility

  • Rewards now have the ability to distribute item rewards in addition to monetary rewards.
  • The time windows for regions have traditionally been a contentious topic. The new plugin gives us the option to add non-identical time windows if necessary.

This plugin was started by Rattlyy and I have been working on it intermittently since his departure.

 

 

 



New Siege Regions Plugin about 1 month ago

We're pleased to introduce siege statistics to Nations. Powered by a custom plugin that collects data during battle sessions, they are now available to view both in-game and on a dedicated website.

 

Website

The new sieges website, sieges.ccnetmc.com, allows you to explore all siege records held by the server.

Kills

The home page lists all siege kills and can be filtered by player name. You can further refine your search by choosing to view only their kills or deaths.

A death is registered as your kill if you dealt the most damage to the player over the 10 second period before their death. It registers as an assist for everyone else who dealt damage during that period.

Screenshot of kills page

Sieges

The sieges page lists all sieges and can be filtered by town name. Each siege has a link to its own page.

Screenshot of sieges list

Siege

The individual page for each siege reveals finer details, such as the number of kills, deaths and assists for each side.

Screenshot of the sieges page

 

Further down, a graph displays the progression of the siege balance and earned battle points by battle session.

 

Players

See the list of players for whom statistics are available in the players page.

Each player's page displays their personal statistics, including KDR and KDA, as well as their kills and deaths.

In-game

Prefer viewing statistics from in-game? No problem. There are currently three commands:

  • /siegestats summary: Lists your aggregate PvP and SvS statistics, including KDR and KDA.
  • /siegestats listkills: Lists your kills and assists individually. This does not display SvS kills and assists at the moment.

Screenshot of /siegestats listkills command

  • /siegestats listsieges: Lists your per-siege statistics.

Siege statistics are experimental, so be on the look out for bugs. Name changes are not currently supported, but may be in the future. Have any suggestions? Let us know on the suggestions forum, or as a reply to this thread.

 



Introducing Siege Statistics 2 months ago

A longstanding issue on Nations is the escalation of small sieges into large wars involving all major nations. This is partly due to player politics, but also the ease with which anyone can switch to another nation's town to participate in their sieges. That eliminates the challenges posed by distance and makes it trivial to intervene in any siege.

To address this, we will test a "loyalty" system on Nations:

  • For each day you play more than 10 minutes, you gain 1 loyalty towards your current nation.
  • Leaving a nation will make you lose 1 loyalty towards that nation every day until you rejoin.
  • To participate in a siege, you will need a minimum amount of loyalty with your current nation. Otherwise, you will suffer from war sickness.
    • This amount is yet to be determined, but will likely be between 7 and 9 loyalty.
  • The maximum loyalty is 20 and the minimum loyalty is 0.

 

Example: Gaining Loyalty

  • I start in a nation called "Alpha".
  • On Monday, I play for 10 minutes. I gain 1 loyalty towards Alpha.
  • On Tuesday, I play for 9 minutes. I gain no loyalty towards Alpha.
  • On Wednesday, I leave Alpha and join another nation, "Beta".
    • I lose 1 loyalty towards Alpha.
    • If I play for 10 minutes then I will gain 1 loyalty towards Beta.

 

Example: Participating in a Siege

  • France starts a siege on Germany.
  • X is a member of France. X only has 1 loyalty with France. X cannot participate in the siege.
  • Y is a member of Britain. Britain is allied with France. Y can participate in France's siege as long as he has 7-9 loyalty with Britain.

 

When will loyalty be enabled?

The loyalty requirement for siege participation will be enabled for the sieges beginning Friday April 14. Until then, loyalty will still be recorded; in fact, it has been recorded for the past few days. You can view your current loyalties using the command /res loyalties.

Warship Build Competition Entries 12 months ago

 

There is now a temporary copy of Nations for testing the new gun and cannon changes that are detailed below. Some of these changes may interest you; others, I suspect, may leave you aghast. All, few or even none of the changes may ultimately make it onto Nations. The purpose of the testing is to determine which of them are suitable for implementation on the main server.

 

Guns


Guns are organized into four categories: bolt-action rifles, carbines, sidearms and light machine guns.

  • Rifles are accurate, high-damage weapons with a low fire rate. Their damage is amplified by headshots.
  • Machine guns are rapid-fire, short-range weapons. Their main purpose is to inflict Slowness and Suppression on victims.
  • Carbines are lighter versions of rifles that are usable on horseback and equipped with bayonets, at the cost of greater recoil and lower bullet velocity.
  • Sidearms are short-range weapons best suited for close-quarters combat.

New weapons are listed in bold:

Rifles

  • Mosin-Nagant
  • Mannlicher M1895
  • Gewehr 98
  • Springfield M1903
  • Lee-Enfield

Machine guns

  • Madsen
  • Chauchat
  • Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)
  • Lewis Gun

Carbines

  • Carcano M91
  • Mosin-Nagant M44

Sidearms

  • Colt M1911
  • Colt Single Action Army
  • Mauser C96

Explosives

  • Frag Grenade
  • Concussion Grenade
  • Panzerfaust - single-shot, explosive anti-tank weapon that only breaks concrete and terracotta

Melee

  • Cavalry Sword - only usable on horseback

 

 

Changes


Bullet drag exists for all guns. This will be more subtle on weapons which fire high velocity projectiles. Even with rifles, however, you will need to compensate for drag at long ranges or if aiming for headshots.

Recoil is now smooth. The previous recoil mechanic instantly moved your view to the updated gun position, which was especially jarring on machine guns. Guns can now also recover from recoil.

Machine guns are a lot less janky, particularly for users with high ping.

All gun models have been retextured and improved. Most guns will have different models for their hip-fire and aimed states; some even have different models for reloads.

Bullets are now visualized using both items and projectile models generously created by PuR1Fy_exe, who has also created new ammunition textures.

Damage for almost every gun now varies by range. Some guns will be highly effective at short ranges and weak at long ranges; others will only excel at long-range.

Finally, guns no longer do knockback. This was an annoying issue that could not be eliminated with the previous plugin.

 

Damage Tables


The damage table for the guns below can be found here.

The table lists 'raw' damage values which are not useful by themselves. Here's how they translate to damage inflicted on a player wearing full P4 Diamond:

  • 13 -> 1 ♥
  • 19.48 -> 1.5 ♥
  • 25.97 -> 2 ♥
  • 32.47 -> 2.5 ♥
  • 39 -> 3 ♥
  • 45.45 -> 3.5 ♥
  • 52 -> 4 ♥

For example, a Mosin-Nagant will deal 1.5 hearts of damage to a P4 Diamond player that is between 0 and 29 blocks away.

 

Suppression and Shell Shock


Suppression still amplifies damage that a player receives. However, it now increases all gun damage — not just damage from rifles — and suppressed players will glow to make them easier to identify. Importantly, you can no longer regain health from satiation while suppressed.

Shell shock has changed considerably. Unlike previously, there are no "shock" weapons whose damage is amplified by their victim having shell shock. Instead, shell-shocked players will be unable to heal from healing potions. This sounds (and is intended to be) quite powerful, but needs to be considered alongside the cannon changes — as we shall see in the next section.

 

Cannons


Land cannons have also received some changes. These were made in haste and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be entirely unsuitable for Nations. Nevertheless, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on them.

 

New Cannons


All land cannons have been consolidated into three designs that can be built in the Wilderness:

  • The Field Gun (renamed Small 240mm)
  • The Howitzer
  • The Mortar

The Howitzer is an evolution of the Large 240mm intended for very long-range indirect fire. As such, it can only fire at vertical elevations between 60° and 80°.

It has a unique method of operation as it requires propellant (gunpowder) to be loaded alongside the projectile. The amount of gunpowder you load affects the range of the cannon — the more there is, the further the projectile will travel and the more heat the cannon will generate. You can overload the cannon with gunpowder at the cost of generating excess heat. If the cannon overheats, it will explode. It will cool down when not being used, but this process can be accelerated by right-clicking the cannon with ice. The temperature of the cannon can be checked by right-clicking it with a gold nugget.

The Field Gun (renamed Small 240mm) is largely unchanged. Its movement speed when piloted as a TowedArtillery has been significantly increased, and its maximum vertical elevation has been reduced. Note that that the gun can now only be depressed to an elevation of -15°. This change was made in hopes of eliminating the "sky cannon" phenomenon and requiring some more thought to be put into town defences (rather than just sticking all cannons on top of a tall wall).

The Mortar is the same design that existed at the beginning of N2 - one stone brick stairs block with a lever attached and a stone brick wall placed above it.

 

Shells


The Mortar fires Illumination and Smoke rounds.

  • Illumination rounds make all nearby players glow.
  • Smoke rounds give nearby players the new Darkness effect. Unlike their previous implementation, they do not make an obnoxious, laggy cloud of smoke.

The Howitzer fires HE, Shrapnel, Illumination and Smoke rounds.

  • HE shells have been buffed significantly against blocks with HP.
  • Shrapnel is the replacement for canister shot. It fires a single projectile with a fuse timer of 5 seconds. When the projectile hits the ground or the fuse timer ends, it will split into multiple shrapnel fragments that damage nearby players. By firing such that the fuse timer ends while the projectile is at a high altitude, you can create an airburst that scatters the shrapnel over a wider area.

The Field Gun fires Shell, Incendiary and AP rounds. They are unchanged from their implementation on Nations.

 

Testing


You'll first need to download the updated resource pack from here. You need to use this instead of the normal resource pack. If you don't use the resource pack, or you keep the normal resource pack enabled, everything will be broken.

Then head over to /server test. This is a copy of Nations as it was on August 23. Nothing you do here will be reflected on Nations, and vice versa. Think of it as a parallel universe. On this server:

  • Upkeep is disabled.
  • Sieges can be started on all days and cost no money to begin.
  • Peaceful towns are disabled.
  • Keep inventory is enabled at sieges, because we don't want you grinding gear for testing.
  • The map can be found here.

The server will remain online until I have a good idea of your opinions on the changes.

 

Commands


  • /wm list - see the list of guns
  • /wm get - get a gun
  • /wm ammo - type this while holding a gun to get ammo for i
  • /ammo - get cannon shells

I would prefer it if feedback was shared in the replies to this post.
