1. Is it just which color do you like best? 1.5 If no what makes you pick what team? 2. Do you get to choose your teams? 3. Is this rng based or is it skill based? 4. Is there four teams now?

What's all this then?

This is the recruitment thread for the wars between Crimson and Emerald. If you want to join, all you have to do is make a comment here, and the bot will add you to one of the two teams.

• How does it work? The generals of CR and EM will invade other territories. Hop into one of the invasion threads when you see them and join the fight!

• How do I know where invasions are happening? The sidebar of /r/chromanauts will always have the most up-to-date status of all the territories.

• Where are these territories? I haven't drawn a fancy map yet!

• If I fought in season 1 or season 2 or season 3, do I have to sign up again here? No - I've automatically imported everyone from previous seasons; you're already in your capital.

• I'm on the wrong team! I was on Periwinkle but now I'm Crimson! There's no mapping between the season 3 teams and the current teams. Players are now assigned randomly.

NOTHING - everything is as it was. I've been making a newer chromabot with an entirely different battle system, but this is the old dependable one.

I'm so confused

Coming this April 1, a rift will open to a parallel universe. One with a world just beginning, lands yet undiscovered, and populated by two of nature's most bitter enemies.

I refer, of course, to Crimson and Emerald.

Hi all!

The bot's being retooled between seasons, but if you want to be in on season 4 (or bot beta testing, coming Soon^TM ) then you can reply here and you'll be added to the roster!

Bot Changelog

• Defection is now configurable - it's currently disabled to let the numbers between teams even out.

• Fixed travel multipliers for sectors - there was an issue where moving between sectors would take twice as long in regions that had a travel multiplier of '2'; fixed it so the multiplier only applies to inter-region travel.

• Some map work - All the neutral sectors are reachable from either landmass.

• Internal changes - I updated the bot to work with PRAW3. Still fixing some bugs this caused.

I can't post welcome comments on it because it's archived.

The color looks ugly, the word sucks, and it's the color of downvotes and bad content

I was automatically assigned to orangered when I wanted to join periwinkle, and would like to defect.

Before season 3 started I signed up for Team Periwinkle but got automatically assigned to Orangered. I sent a message to /u/reostra to defect but he didn't see my message at first http://i.imgur.com/8B49YoG.png . A couple of days later I sent him another message but he told me it wasn't possible to switch sides http://i.imgur.com/kbyK2hr.png. I still wanted to take part in battles of course, and spent more than a week in Orangered but didn't really feel part of their community. However, I've joined the Periwinkle chat like 4 times now and people are really friendly and makes it feel like a big family. Orangered feels more focussed on the actual battles, while Periwinkle really takes care of their playerbase.

Umm how do i join how do i battle. Do i need to download an app to play. Howhowhow... :) thanks in advance

THIS IS ORANGE!!!!

I'm new to the battle and wondering how would you take over a territory / what would you do

Or is it just randomly assigned?

Bot Changelog

• New Map! The Orangered refugees have discovered the continent of Kingston, and have rapidly settled there to establish their new homeland. Cartographers have scrambled to create a new map of the known world.

• Sectors Each region has seven 'sectors'. When a skirmish takes place, it takes place in one of those seven sectors. The winner of a battle is now whoever controls the most sectors when time runs out.

  • Each skirmish takes place in a particular sector, which will be listed as part of the skirmish summary. When you enter a skirmish command, that command takes effect in the sector you're in. You can't support/oppose skirmish actions in sectors you are not currently in; you may need to move there first.

  • You can move to a particular sector using the 'lead' command. The full syntax is now lead [number or 'all'] to <location[#sector]>[, location[#sector], ...] For example:

    • lead all to snooland#5 will move your troops to sector 5 of Snooland

    • lead all to mozter, dg, dutchmans#7 will move your troops to Mozter Island, Devil's Grasp, and then Dutchman's Grounds - upon your arrival you'll be in sector 7

    • lead all to #3 will move your troops to sector 3 of your current region.

  • If you do not specify a sector to move to, one will be chosen randomly for you.

  • Movement between sectors within a region takes half as long as movement between regions.

  • You can move between sectors even if you're already fighting in one sector (unlike regional movement).

  • The status command will show your current sector.

• VP Overhaul Victory points calculation now works differently.

  • Previously, it worked on a 'winner take all' basis. If a subskirmish was won for 10VP and the parent skirmish was won by the other team, that other team also got that 10VP. Now, the system works like this:

    • #1 periteam attacks with 30, wins this skirmish by 14 for 31 VP

    • #2 orangeredman opposes with 31, wins this skirmish by 16 for 15 VP

    • #3 periteam opposes with 15

  • Ordinarily, #1 would be worth the 31vp for the troops defeated in #2 plus the 15vp that #2 generated (for a total of 46vp). Now, however, each team gets skirmish VP for only the subskirmishes they win. So in this example, the totals are:

    • Periwinkle: 31VP

    • Orangered: 15VP

  • Periwinkle still wins the skirmish, but only gets VP for the subskirmishes that they won (so only 31 VP total). Orangeredman loses the overall skirmish, but hasn't put Periwinkle further ahead in doing so. Essentially, it lowers the risk for experimentation / casual play.

  • The winner of a sector is still determined by the total VP of the winning skirmishes in that sector for each side.

• Faster Troop Rewards If you have less than 300 troops, you'll gain up to 25 troops per battle you fight in.

  • "Up to" in this case, means you'll get a percentage of the 25 based on the number of troops you use in battle. If you use all your troops, you'll get all 25. If you use, e.g. half, you'll get 12.

  • If you have 300 or more troops, you'll gain 5% of what you used.

• Different Travel Times The ocean currents are treacherous; entering or leaving the new neutral islands takes twice as long as ordinary regions.

• Traversable Neutrals Previously, you could not travel through a neutral territory unless it was being invaded; now you can.

  • This does not change which territories can be invaded; those must still be adjacent to a territory your team controls.

• Centralized Battles All battles will now take place in /r/fieldofkarmicglory

• Region Aliases Because it doesn't make much sense to refer to a region by its subreddit anymore, there are now a number of aliases for each region that you can use in place of that region's name.

• Region Codewords If you create a codeword, you can also use that as an alias for a region. The syntax is exactly the same as the regular codeword syntax.

SCURVY!

Season 1 has ended - all territories are under the control of Periwinkle. The bot doesn't have any rules to handle an end-of-game situation like this, so to prevent problems I've shut it off.

What next?

We're preparing for Season 2!

But I want to fight!

Chromabot may be down, but Valkyribot lives! You can still battle under the old ruleset in the eternal battleground. That'll stay up and running until beta for Season 2 starts.

This is the first time I've gone to battle... I hope my uniform's on right...

Bot changes this time around:

• "Extract" command that sends you directly to your capital should you get stuck somewhere.

• You can now move to more than one region at a time. The syntax is lead [number|all] to location[, location, ...]. The locations listed are visited in the order you specify and must both be adjacent to each other and enterable by your team. If any location changes hands while you're on the way there, your move will be canceled.

  • There is currently no manual way to cancel a move, so be sure you know where you're going beforehand!

• Changed the laws of physics so that nuclear weapons are no longer possible.

War. War never changes. Except when I change things!

New features

• Battle End Randomization Battles will now end sometime around the displayed time rather than exactly when stated. Currently this is +/- 15 minutes, but can be easily changed.

• Reward Changes Troop rewards for participation are at least 5% of the number of troops committed (7% for the victorious side). This is lower than before, and remember that all these percentages round down, so you'll want to commit at least 20 troops to be guaranteed a reward.

This Thread: The Last Recruitment You'll Ever Need

After this final battle at Chromehenge, the system is going live. There may be other recruitment threads after this (I create new ones when they get too big), but if you sign up here, you'll never need to sign up again. In fact, if you signed up last time you don't even need to do that, you're already in the system!

What's new?

• The /r/chromanauts sidebar will be constantly updated by the bot with the state of the land, as well as the last time the bot ran; this way it's easier to tell if the bot's crashed.
• Buffs - the only one that will matter for this battle is Fortune Favors the Brave - but it's a 25% bonus, so it does matter.
• Everyone who participates in this battle will get a troop reward of 10% of the troops they committed to the battle. The winning team will gain an extra 5% - this happens automatically and immediately.

Edit: Battle thread is up!

The battle has begun, recruitment is closed - godspeed, warriors!
