About the Game
vBArmy is a game for vBulletin.

Each member begins their adventure by choosing a Race which had certain advantages over other races. They begin with a few soldiers and a bit of gold, and must build their army by fighting other players.

Players can buy weapons for their soldiers to increase their attack strength, and buy armor to increase their soldier's defense strength. However, each soldier can only use one weapon and one item of armor. Players can also upgrade their Defense and Offense to increase their defensive and offensive strengths by a percentage.

Players can browse through a list of participating players. They can conduct intelligence operations by sending Spies, which cost a set amount of gold to purchase. The more spies you send, the more accurate the intelligence you gather will be. Gathered intelligence gives you an estimate of the players total gold, offensive power, and defensive power.

If you choose to attack a player you must use "Turns." You only get a certain amount of turns every cycle set by the admin. The more turns you use, the more gold you will steal from your opponent. Be warned though, your opponent will know that you attacked them by viewing their Defense Log and being notified by pm.

Naturally it is important to grow your army. The only way to get soldiers in the game is to have your friends click your "Recruitment Link" They can only click it once every (admin set minutes), and each time they do you will receive an (admin set amount) of soldiers.

Please click Install, there will be a status notification upon the release of major updates.

Does this work with 3.7.3? Thanks...

the recruitment link kinda relies on members to play fair. but my members have placed the links in their sig's inviting even non playing members to click. some using subterfuge in an attempt to trick people into clicking... others more obviously begging. i also started a social group specifically for members of the game.

One of my members recently figured out that you could type in 0.5 and still get a spy. i tried it on less than that (0.02 for e.g) but it just takes your gold without giving a spy. 0.5 though will take 25 GP and still give you a spy.

just figured out you can also do it with weapons etc. so a 5% take off means nothing when you can buy items at 50% of the mark up. bug needs to be fixed.

What about cron jobs so we can reset the game automatically

[skh]

another glitch is that you can actually attack players with -attacks. so -100 attacks will actually add 100 turns to your attacks while also stealing gold.

the game in its present state is unplayable.



edit** Selling .4 of something gives you the money for it, and does nothing to your inventory. Same goes for .5

Selling .9 of your last of something leaves the option of selling 0 of the items. It has a remainder of some sort, but you are unable to sell .001 from that 0. It can be cleared from your inventory list by buying and selling another one.

In an isntance where NON forum members are using the recruitment link, simply make it so non forum members can't view that page. In all honesty, I think it may be smarter to leave it open since this will drive new traffic to your forum as well as members!
