Twelve Clans - Official Thread
-
In Twelve Clans (a Shogun type variant heavily inspired by the Samurai Warriors series of games) fight to expand your clan and become the dominant power in Japan. As you conquer rival clans, they will become your vassals (allied to you), but your vassals' true loyalties belong only to their own clan's interests. A clan will become vassal to another for self-preservation. If another clan conquers one of your vassals, their allegiance will change to the conquering clan.
However, if you are conquered, your vassals will join you in switching sides.This means that no player is ever out of the game. Once you are defeated, you simply switch sides. If one of your allies wins then you win a minor victory. But there can only be one shogun. If a player conquers 7 rival clans that player achieves Total Victory, becoming the shogun. Any players who are not the first 7 to join the shogun have lost.
In the 2 (Sekigahara), 3 (Coalitions), 4 (Triads) and 6 (Bloodpact) player alliance variants included the Vassal system is removed and the traditional alliance system is in place. You can choose to play this like any other game where multiple players can be a part of any particular alliance or one player can control
the entire alliance. Once a clan is taken out in these variants, they are out for good. Victory in these variants is based on alliance control of 10, 9, 8, or 8 clan strongholds respectively (or all 12 if you are feeling frisky).---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please comment and report any issues here! This is my first map so I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it! (Hopefully I did all the github stuff right and it shows up in the download list soon...)Michael

@Michael-Hoover Congrats on your first map!

Talking only about the "Twelve Clans" game (not the other 4 games of this map).
First of all, very interesting game and a nice conclusion to the history of TripleA 1 mapmaking (as this is likely to be the ultimate released map before 2.0, if not the ultimate one compatible with 1.9).
I like Feudal Japan, but know next to nothing about the setting, so I'm curious if your map is supposed to be historical or not.
I suggest you documenting at least all the major deviations from the default/common TripleA rules in notes. For example, I'm not sure how any player is supposed to know that it can place units without factories and even in newly conquered territories right away. Since TripleA largely fails in letting people know what rules apply to any game, beside writing down an entire rulebook in notes, the best way to do so would be to clarify what ruleset (v1, 2, 3...) is the basis (preferably the one your game is closest to), then detailing all that is different, or at least the major items. I know that most TripleA games lack documentation, so you just play them and learn what the engine enforces, and those are pretty much the rules, but I think it's just better if the player can get at least some information before starting its first game (or having to try everything out).
By the way, gameplay wise, I tend to think it's a good idea that you allowed placing in newly conquered territories, as that might help breaking stalemates and generally encourage aggressiveness (which is probably needed in a map as clustered as Feudal Japan). For similar reasons, thumbs up to the huge amount of production in contendible territories (though I'd much decrease the total production in the map, as a whole, to reduce the piling up of units overtime).
Having played Tokugawa, I feel like all I can do for several rounds is nothing but staying in my starting territory, piling up ashigaru and wating for the AIs to damage each other enough.
The concept of minor victory is interesting but strange. I understand an incentive is needed for defeated players to keep playing on the side of their conquerors, but it will need to be playtested how much that jives with everyone. I don't think that, if I'm the first one to be gobbled down, that will make me feel superior to those that went down last, and I suppose I would play on with it fairly mostly just to be a good sport. Of course, certainly a great idea as long as you are playing solo against the AI. However, I've not yet tried getting killed and becoming a minor, so just off the cuff opinions here (I'm assuming it works as I'm reading it).
I'm personally not a fan of the "Max Bulti Allowed" option. I prefer not having hard caps like that (just my personal preference). I guess maybe you did so to have more of a traditional boardgame feeling. Obviously, that helps a lot in balancing units, as hitting a max assures you no units are really underpowered, eventually (not my favourite kind of balancing). Therefore, what I'm going to say completely ignores any caps.
I'm fairly certain the game has underpowered and overpowered units (if caps wouldn't exist).
Underpowered units list:
Teppo
Kyudoka
Ronin
MawariOverpowered units list:
Nobori
Samurai
NinjaBalanced units list:
BushiMaybe I'm too bold judging so fast a game I've played for only a few rounds with the AI, but I tend to think here, at the current state, I would buy almost nothing else than a lot of Nobori and a few Samurai.
About the Ninja, that is only slightly overpowered with respect to the underpowered ones, but it is almost underpowered with respect to the other overpowered ones (though, being the only unit able to move 3 makes it virtually impossible to be underpowered (an underpowered unit is a unit you don't want to buy, not a unit you want to buy circumstantially, no matter how rarely so)).
However, the matter is relative to the fact that you have configured the game as being very strongly in favour of cheap units (kinda like NWO or WAW, and maybe even a little more so), as a matter of cost-effectiveness. So, I'm not saying that the Ninja is overpowered with respect to the Bushi (and certainly not with the respect to the units I identified as overpowered), but what I'm saying is that it is a little overpowered with respect to the other normal midrange units (the underpowered ones), especially the Mawari.
Now, coming to the Nobori, that feels hugely overpowered, especially for a multisides game, in the moment you keep getting 2 Ashigaru each turn! I'd say the Nobori plus 2 Ashigaru alone are already worth the Nobori's cost (as they are 3 hitpoints at total cost 6, which is not matched by anything else). However, this is such an uncommon dynamic that I'm not even sure what to suggest to fix it. I'm curious if you borrowed the concept from the Other of A Song of Ice and Fire.
The Samurai would be overpowered only as an indirect consequence of the overpowerness of the Nobori, thus abundant supply of Ashigaru for the Samurai to support (in addition to the Ashigaru spawning of the leaders, of course). So that's mostly something to think about after fixing the Nobori.

@redrum Thank you!
@Cernel Thank you so much for the feedback. There are a few things I know need addressed but I wanted to go ahead and get a version 1 out there. For starters, I still haven't quite figured out the sounds, although @Frostion has helped a bunch and I am unashamedly looking at his stuff for guidance, so the next update should have some music if nothing else.
The map is somewhat historical. The clans are in their general vicinities, although I took some liberties geographically because I didn't want 200+ territories for my first map. I tried to incorporate as much history as I could while staying "true" to the Samurai Warriors franchise (these are a great series of playstation games that themselves take some poetic license with regard to the characters and such - the main reason why the Daimyo not only have names but are sooo powerful. If you have ever played one of those games you know what I am talking about ).
I will also try and drum up some better documentation. There are several things I discovered while learning the xml that I just wanted to try out. Thus the vassal system was born. I agree with you I don't know if people will like it or not but we had a good time playtesting it and debugging it. Its refreshing to me to keep playing even after getting wrecked (whether that was due to a bad strategy, one mistake, or some trash dice rolls), and somewhat vindicating when you can bounce back from that and really lead the charge for your new lord.
True, some clans are harder to play than others. Tokugawa, Takeda, Hojo, Oda, basically most of those in the center are really ripe for domination or being crushed fast. Ultimately that is what I was shooting for was a game that could be played very fast (12 rounds or less) consistently.
The Nobori are my favorite unit! Alas, they must be capped or else I would have to change them. I picture them as recruiters, drawing in the commoners (ashigaru) to fight and pumping them up. Also the Samurai can pump them up as well. On a d12 system the Ashigaru are only 1-1 normally so they are extremely weak without these units. I also liked the idea of units creating other units and not being able to purchase some units. As I said, I wanted to play around with some concepts that the xml can do but you don't normally see.
Fun fact: the ninja was originally intended to be a land submarine, able to assassinate freely and run away. But I wasn't able to add that ability in this version, so when 2 comes out there will likely be some major updating going on here...
I am rambling I think...thanks for the suggestions and I will go back over this in the morning with a clear head. Please keep the feedback coming!

Hello, everyone!
I was the primary tester for Twelve Clans during development. This is @Michael-Hoover's first time working with xml and my first time trying to seriously test a game and make it as good as we can.
@Cernel those are some good observations. I agree with you completely when it comes to a no unit cap version. I was against capping the units when I first started to test the game myself, actually. But the more that we discussed it and tested it out the more that making caps seemed like a good solution to the AI problems. Our issues with the AI may be fixable in other ways. But caps were the best solution at the time given our limited experience. I also agree that more documentation would be helpful. Please continue to give more feedback as you notice things. Any suggestions are appreciated and will be taken into consideration for future updates.
Hopefully, as the game gets more people playing we can take all of everyone's feedback and improve the experience.
Here is some background on why we settled on the way that the units in Twelve Clans are capped and some of the problems that we noticed during testing.
We noticed that without a cap the AI would only ever buy certain units. They loved Ashigaru in the Alpha, when they were the same as the Bushi (this is before the Bushi existed). To solve that we decided to make the Ashigaru not purchasable. This was inspired by the Dragon War Auxiliary units. Then the AI had a new favorite unit the Ronin. We tried re-balancing the unit stats and prices, but they always seemed to buy tons of the same units. This was especially problematic with Ronin, as they leave after one round (meant to represent mercenaries only following coin) In an attempt to fix this we decided to implement caps.
With the caps in place the AI started purchasing more varieties of units and seemed to be more fair and competent. I am not sure that the AI fully understands that the Ronin leave after one round though because they make some questionable moves sometimes. But it is a lot better than it was prior.

@NetHackFan1006 Thanks I forgot about the AI purchasing hijinks when I was thinking through @Cernel's observations last night!
I also forgot to mention that the bonuses provided by the various units are not stackable with duplicate units, i.e. two nobori does not give +2 to all units, etc...

Hi. I'm not sure, at this point, is this game meant primarily as a solo experience with the AI or more like Feudal Japan, with a few human players and rest to AI? Or maybe preferably a 1v1, one power each, rest to the AI? Talking about the main game, not the 4 mods.

I guess you are referring to a state with very different stats from now, as, with the current ones, the AI (and everyone) will prefer Bushi over Ronin for sure, even without taking the Ronin removal, and anything else, into account.
With the caps in place the AI started purchasing more varieties of units and seemed to be more fair and competent. I am not sure that the AI fully understands that the Ronin leave after one round though because they make some questionable moves sometimes. But it is a lot better than it was prior.
Ah. This game's unit balanced was made looking at the AI purchase choices (so it's all @redrum fault ). I should have guessed. It is just so much of a thing I would not do that I didn't even consider the possibility, even though we did have had several other mapmakers doing the same.
However, I'll have to agree that, for what I believe it can understand, the AI is purchasing quite correctly, in this one, as I'm seeing that, on the first round, the AI buys mostly Bushi and a few of Teppo, Kyudoka and Nobori, and this is what I would do too, if I could only see what I believe the AI does (that support to 15 units is so good that the Nobori are already the best complement to the Bushi even if they would not be able to dump on the map 2 Ashigaru each round).
So, also based on what you are saying, it might be not entirely the AI fault, this one time, as I'm not sure you realize how much "fodder" based your production choices actually are. If I couldn't understand the Nobori specials (which I'm pretty sure the AI doesn't either), I would certainly agree (with the AI) that buying almost only Bushi is the way to go, here (the "fodder" unit, once you exclude the Ashigaru).
Basically, once you take caps into account, I would buy almost only Nobori and a very few Samurai (if any) until I hit the Nobori cap. Then I would buy mostly Samurai and a few Bushi and Ninja until I hit the Samurai cap, unless I'm short on Ashigaru, in which case I'll buy mostly Bushi until I hit the Bushi cap (of course it greatly depends on how many Ashigaru I lose, meanwhile). Then mostly either Bushi or Samurai and a few Ninja until I hit either the Bushi or Samurai cap (assuming I've already hit one or the other). And so on and so forth, Ronin coming into question virtually only when I cannot buy anything else.
Actually, I missed the fact that the Ronin all go away at the start of your next "Purchase Units" phase (maybe because I never even considered buying any of them (have not played long enough to hit enough caps for that)) (also, it would make the only sense, at this point, they are removed at the start of the Non Combat Move phase, instead, if I'm understanding correctly they are removed wherever). This is another thing that really needs to be documented in notes. Also, I'm not sure if you are aware you can have custom tooltips and also automatic tooltips with some custom description attached at the end, if you so prefer (you could had a line telling that Ronin are usable only till the end of the next turn). I guess I should have imagined since did you borrow the concept from Feudal Japan Warlords? I notice only now that the game explains the Ronin, and the units in general, on its own top-left corner. This is pretty much the problem with virtual boardgames, where you usually don't see the whole board at once. Maybe it's the TripleA program fault, that should rather start the game zoomed so much to have all the board on view at once, then letting you zoom in where you want to.
I guess the unit information on top-left should specify how many units the Nobori actually supports (15), as well as how many Ashigaru recruits (2).
In my book, the Ronin was an underpowered unit without even taking into account the fact that it is removed (which I completely overlooked). I'm not sure if I'm overlooking anything, but, just for the basic stats, a Bushi is 3/3 cost 3 and a Ronin is 5/5 cost 5, thus a Ronin has the same relative power of a Bushi but almost half the hitpoints (the terrible swordman and very good peltasts of traditional 270BC Macedonia come to mind). On top of that, you have the virtually granted "HeroBonus" that, by raising everyone by 1 power, makes the Ronin into a truly terrible unit, as, then, you have Bushi at 4/4 cost 3 and Ronin at 6/6 cost 5, thus the Roning being inferior both (!) in power and hitpoints to the Bushi, for the same cost. But all of this is even completely overshadowed by the fact that getting Nobori and Samurai, thus eventually having a huge army of Ashigaru supported by a few Nobori and Samurai is way better than going for combining Bushi and Ronin.
Taking into account that Ronin are even removed after 1 round of service, then it is definitely the worst unit in the game.
Of course, having hard caps "fixes" all issues, as you eventually hit one cap after the other, and start buying the unbuyable.
Anyways, taking into account the "caps" fix (definitely not a fan of that, but of course it works), I would say this game has objectively no issues, and can stay in good quality, already. I've not tried out the other 4 mods that come with it.
-
Thanks again for the feedback @Cernel. I actually did not know you could customize the tooltips (I thought the info was set based on the xml unit attachement stats), but I will check that out for sure!
I should probably also point out that the Ronin have no purchase cap at all. So let's say you are getting into the endgame and you have a max army (kinda like the old shogun board game - there was a set size to how many troops you could have). And that max army is standing on a 6 PU territory, if you have 50 PUs you can buy 10 Ronin and place them on that 6 PU territory. I don't know if that would change your opinion of them at all?
Just earlier we were discussing some potential update changes and I will be sure to reference back to these posts to factor in your opinions!
-
@Michael-Hoover The Ronin do technically have a cap , but it is quite high (max for xml?). You can purchase 99 Ronin per turn. And you can place 99 Ronin per turn.
Phrasing what you said in a more TripleA terminology way is, Ronin are considered constructable, so the value of the territory and factories have no relevance on them.

We tried to balance the game in a way that it can be played solo or with any number of other players. That is why the AI is very important. As if the AI is acting dumb that makes playing solo not challenging at all.

There have been a lot of changes to Twelve Clans during the alpha. A lot of units either were not in the game or their stats were very different to what they are now. This affected how the AI purchased and used them. None of these changes were documented because the game was still in Pre-Alpha/Alpha.
Actually, I missed the fact that the Ronin all go away at the start of your next "Purchase Units" phase (maybe because I never even considered buying any of them (have not played long enough to hit enough caps for that)) (also, it would make the only sense, at this point, they are removed at the start of the Non Combat Move phase, instead, if I'm understanding correctly they are removed wherever).

You are correct, no matter where the Ronin units are located, they are all removed at the next purchase step. We'll look at improving the tips and notes.
The inspirations for Twelve Clans was mainly Samurai Warriors, Dragon War, and Shogun. Samurai Warriors mainly, that is why there is a ton of unit build up, which some people don't like. I wasn't a fan of that at first myself lol. But you get used to it and it is more "over the top" like Samurai Warriors is that way.
I guess the unit information on top-left should specify how many units the Nobori actually supports (15), as well as how many Ashigaru recruits (2).
The unit information of the board is a little vague and not complete. I think it was more of an issue of not wanting to take up too much space on the corner. We will look into fleshing it out more.
-
@NetHackFan1006 I think I'd leave the Ronin without a cap at all, if all other units have one.
-
@Cernel From what I understand, the Ronin had to have a cap to give them the "is construction" property. The cap might be a problem if you hold most territories and or save your PUs to buy all Ronin. Realistically, no one should be able to build more than 99 per turn. A player needs 495 PUs to purchase 99 Ronin in one turn.

No, those are two completely unrelated caps. You can remove the "99" one, while keeping the other one.
As far as the construction cap goes, TripleA obliges you setting a cap there, and doesn't allow you actually to set infinite, correct, but you can set 1 million or whatever, so, in practice, infinite is virtually possible.
However, and this is what I meant and suggest to do, you can also use the "Unlimited Constructions" property, though that is actually not setting it to infinite, either, but to 10000, but only as long as (in the best naming hack TripleA traditions) the "type" name doesn't end in "structure".
However, the construction cap is a zone stack limit (neither a max units limit nor a production limit).
Long story short, you can just remove the "99" build cap, set the construction caps to 1 (both) and have "Unlimited Constructions" true while being sue the Ronin construction name type doesn't end in "structure", if you want to have no caps for them (in practice, they will be capped at 10000, but this is just a TripleA hack).
-
@Cernel Interesting. I wonder if removing the Ronin cap would affect the AI. It's something we can try out.
-
Update 1.1 has been uploaded:
This update adds the sounds and music that I originally wanted to have for the initial release....
The next update forthcoming will feature expanded documentation and tweaks each clan to give them a more unique feel and play, hopefully adding a little more balance as well, although I do like the fact that some clans are inherently harder to play...
If anyone has any suggestions please fire away!
-
Update 1.2 is well underway with expanded documentation, some minor sound and graphical tweaks, additional sound bites for the starting clan leaders, and a clan specialty system to give each clan a slightly different play style.
I also wanted to point out for @Cernel that we have removed all unit caps except on Nobori, and to keep the AI purchasing in line several of the units' cost and/or attack/defense have been modified, hopefully bringing things more into balance. With any luck I should be able to roll it out this weekend or shortly thereafter
Stay tuned...
-
Update 1.2 has been uploaded:
- More sounds and music
- Expanded Documentation
- Clan Advantages
- Ronin upkeep (rather than having the ronin for one round only, they now stick around but cost 2 PUs per round per ronin as an upkeep value)
- No Unit caps (except on Nobori)
- Modified unit stats and costs for balancing
- Traitor tech added (if a vassal switches sides too many times they will be dubbed a traitor and can be destroyed)
- Minor bug fixes/display errors
Feedback is much appreciated!

@Michael-Hoover If 3 units have the same cost and one is 2/4, another 3/3 and another 4/2, the one that is 3/3 is next to useless (underpowered). A 2/4 unit combined with a 4/2 unit will be always better than two 3/3 units.
Of course, once you take the "national advantages" into consideration, if you give +1 offence to Bushi, and nothing to anyone else, then Teppo are absolutely useless for purchase, while, if you give +1 defence to Bushi, and nothing to anyone else, then Kyudoka are absolutely useless for purchase. If only Teppo or Kyudoka get any bonus, then Bushi are even more useless for purchase, naturally (and singularly useless if the bonus is on the offence of the Kyudoka or the defence of the Teppo).
No idea why, for example, in case of Chosokabe, you kept the Bushi as a purchasable unit? I'm sure you relize that the Teppo has 4 offence, instead of 3, for the Bushi, while all other values are exactly the same (am I overlooking anything?), making the Bushi abosolutely non-purchasable, singularly, once the caps are gone. I'm assuming the Bushi is still there for no particular reasons? By the way, the notes say that the value increase is for the offence, instead (well, it actually says "Offfense").
These are not the only issues with the current production frontiers.
My suggestion, get rid of any "National Advantages", and have the same units, with all the same values, for everyone, at least until you feel confident with those (just a suggestion to make things easier for you, and still wondering if there might be anything I'm missing).
-
@Cernel Thanks for the feedback!
I must admit I didn't give a whole lot of thought into the [2/4 + 4/2] > [3/3 + 3/3] argument. I was looking at it from an offense vs defense perspective, i.e. buy more Teppo if you are getting aggressive or buy more kyudoka to turtle up and defend. Looking at the percentages though I do see your point and will have a think on that for a bit.
I didn't remove any units from the frontiers just because I thought it would look weird. Obviously certain clans would have no reason to purchase certain units given the bonuses but I couldn't bring myself to not allow them to be available.
The units were modified so that nobori only increase ashigaru defense (except the Oda Nobori do +1/+1) and the samurai only increase ashigaru offense (except the Azai samuari do +1/+1) as part of the clan advantages theme.
I also believe the lowering of cost has helped balance them out, as without caps the AI does seem to purchase a variety of units (leaning toward their advantages of course).
Thanks for pointing out the typo. I went ahead and fixed that so if you want you can pull it again that'll be corrected. I also thought i had replaced the chart in the upper left corner but apparently what got released was the old chart, so I fixed that as well.
If you see anything else please let me know. Thanks for all your suggestions too, it is much appreciated.

@Michael-Hoover said in Twelve Clans - Official Thread:

Well, weird for weird, to me it looks also weird that you have two couples of factions that, for example, start with a 3/3 unit upgraded defensively to 3/4 or a 2/4 unit upgraded offensively to 3/4, ending up with the exactly same frontier, once you omit the strictly worse units, but in name only. But this is not an issue, so I didn't mention it, to keep it short (and since my suggestion was to set aside the national advantages, anyway). What I mean is, in the example, Chosokabe has exactly the same usable frontier as Uesugi, beside the facts that the first one has a 3/3 unit never to buy and the second one has a 4/2 unit never to buy.
Obviously certain clans would have no reason to purchase certain units given the bonuses but I couldn't bring myself to not allow them to be available.
I see your point of view, but, for example, if I'm in WW2, nothing stops me from producing "pikemen" (and the English actually thought about it), but, if the "pikemen" unit would be something that I never want actually to purchase, then better not having the ability to do so. Really, leaving in the frontier something that the player is assumed never to buy is not sound, but this is just a minor annoyance, I suppose (having a unit that you need keep ignoring).
Thanks for pointing out the typo. I went ahead and fixed that so if you want you can pull it again that'll be corrected.
Actually, the typo was a side note. The matter is that it says "Improved Teppo Offense", while it should say "Improved Teppo Defense".
