Since I heared a lot of warlighters expressing their worries about players having a low incentive to earn more money, I will introduce you to the XP and award system.

Players and managers alike will have a skill system on which they can spend money and XP. It is mostly only BETA, but i am working on making it ready to have the first season with.



Player XP gain :

contracted a season 1XP
fielded at least once a season 1XP
play a game 1XP
win a game 1XP
eliminate a player 1XP



Player skills (so far)

Popular Player/player popularity [unlock 10XP Effect: (club gets a bonus of 1% to the prize money per game won per level 5/8/13/21XPetc lvl2/3/4/5etc)
Frontman/Media Vehicle [unlock 10XP] (requires Popular Player) (player earns 5% of his salary in addition to his salary in sponsorship contracts) 5/8/13/21etc. lvl2/3/4/5/6etc.
Personal Trainer/Fitness Guru [monthly cost cumulative per level of Trainer $3.000/$5.000/$8.000/$13.000etc lvl1/2/3/4etc] 1XP gain per level of trainer per gameday

If you have an idea for an award that you think needs to be implemented, let me know. I might use it modified or unmodified.

1EXP for eliminating a player?!?! What is this, the NFL?

I want players to occasionally have diverting interests from the managers interests. Eliminating other players could be something like that, especially if a player is to get the Bonecrusher or Warlightminator award.

XP for elimination seems silly to me. Most people surrender before an elimination happens and if one is to happen, who is to say who is the "eliminator"? Is it the person who did the most damage to the one eliminated? Is it the person who made the final blow?

For example, let's say I complete, single-handedly wreck an enemy, but my teammate was the one to do the final 2v1 attack on the enemy's last territory, causing the elimination. Does my teammate get the XP? Seems unreasonable to me.

The person who made the final blow. Let there be animosity in teams, doesnt have to be fair all the time. I just wanted to find a few other means of getting XP, if you have a better idea, please share.

i have an idea for an award underdogs:a team that lost 3 games in a row and more wins a team that won 3 games in a row or more

Home Sweet Home: player with the best (league) record on the home map of his team.

Switzerland: player doesn't ever get into combat with enemy team during a game while his team still wins. (and finishes the game, i.e. is not booted, surrendered or eliminated by his own team).

Defence Crusher: player with the single attack that did most damage (defending units killed) with 1 attack.

Wall Builder: player that killed most units in 1 single turn with defence. (attacks allowed during turn, but only the defensive kills count).

Comeback Master: player that gets wins while he or his team was behind most often during the season. (where total number of turns behind in games won is counted)

The Popovich Award: (manager) A team that regularly fields its better players in home games and its weakest players in away games.

((Team Name)) Crushers: Ten games in a row won against the same team in consecutive seasons.

Traitor: Player that attacked his own teammates most often.

Free lunch: Player that made the most money while playing the least games. (i.e. the player with the highest income that played only 1 game (players that didn't play a game, don't get money afaik?))

If you are contracted (ie in a squad) then you get paid each round, even if you dont play.

one question about wages...as a player can i negotiate a win bonus as well as my wages?

how you negotiate your salary is up to you, only restriction are the minimum wages

Incentives:
Pull a few off of the Statistics site for Members:
Luckiest Attack
Most/Fewest Armies Deployed on Average
Largest stockpile of armies in one territory

Linchpin/Stalwart: Appear in the most games for a club

Because loyalty should have an equal incentive to mercenary - the play for all the clubs award

Also teams could have captains? Because the managers influence is limited to off the play, but he should have a nominated leader on the field (of battle). Maybe this player would only be eligible for one team?

This is too complicated to offer an incentive

Im assuming that when the games are created the manager will be invited too and then just decline. that way he can still talk in the games and Manage from the sidelines so to speak.

just a thought

Sasha the last one wasn't an incentive it was an idea for the wider thing posted in the wrong place

I meant the whole experience system with profits it give

@regl john you have to be member to access them. Not every manager is a member and since they set up the games, there is no guarantee that we can always provide that information.

@sasha i am aware that only a fraction of people understands it, but maybe a few will as soon as they can see the XP in effect. Maybe that already is too complicated for the majority of players, but since they dont have any work to do, I guess they as much as dont have to care. This is the first season and we just want to see, what is okay, what needs to be improved

But Iron,

The statistics panel doesn't give you access to anything that you wouldn;t know already, plus any member with the gamelink can pull that information.
