Woof, woof! *Koromaru is ready for whatever's going to happen.*

*The green child spins into the area* Woah, this place is pretty bangin'!

*A huge army has a amassed around Odawara Castle, home of Ujiyasu Hojo and his family. They fly the banner of the Hashiba army. From the castle courtyard, Ujiyasu grumbles, smoking a pipe. A red haired girl and another girl in a blue dress stand nearby* Ujiyasu: Hashiba, Mori, Chosokabe, Tachibana, Shimazua and Date. That's a hell of a force. Kai: Hell of a force? THAT'S THE ENTIRE COUNTRIES DAIMYOU TOGETHER!!! Ujiyasu: Apart Uesugi and Sanada. We can only hope for reinforcements from them. Old Hashiba ain't giving up without a fight. Boy. Daughter. Get ready. They're coming. Both: Right. *The two girls run off.* Ujiyasu: *Sigh* The hell am I supposed to do now?

*Minato walks into the area with his hands in his pockets* Wow, first a dark forest now a castle...?

Woof? *Koromaru's ears twitch at the noise. He runs into the streets to get a better view.* Grr...

Woah, these dudes need to chill out! *Manic manages to sneak into the castle and steal an antique vase, along with several plates and priceless artifacts*

*Ujiyasu looks at the new people* Who the hell- This place is gonna be a warzone soon. You kids should get indoors. Quickly.

Arf? Arf arf! *Koromaru pads up to Fancy Man, then looks back at the approaching forces. He growls and pulls out a knife from somewhere.* Grr... Arf, arf!

*Minato turns to Ujiyasu* I can help you guys fight...

You guys... are combatants? *Ujiyasu sighs, before pocketing his pipe.* You're sure?

Aroo! *Koro spins in a circle, pants, then gets into a fighting stance.*

*Manic pockets the stolen items and appears behind Ujiyasu* I get things are gonna get dangerous and all, but i'm a freedom fighter! I can handle dangerous!

*From above a sharp dressed bounty hunter is on the roof and jumps down holding a hand of poker cards* So.....This is gonna be me getting payed right,,,,

I'm pretty sure... *A swarm of SIVA nanites come out of his pockets and they form into a sword named MANGETSU~00*

I guess I can't deny help, no matter how strange you are. Get ready. They're coming. --Battle Start. Message Phase-- OOC: Tutorial: In the Message Phase, I will update the map and give people objectives and messages to what's going on in the battlefield. Some of these messages may be clues to bonus objectives, so be observant. Give me a minute or 5 to update...

OOC:Got it

Ooc: Okay.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/phansite/images/8/8c/Seige_Map%3D_Start.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/220?cb=20171005182812 Key Black Star= Players start position (Prepare to be colour coded. Choose a colour if you want) Black U= Ujiyasu Hojo Black K= Kai Black H= Lady Hayakawa Black F= Kotaro Fuuma Blue X= Locked gates Red T= Toshiee Maeda Red H- Hideyoshi Hashiba Red I= Ieyasu Tokugawa OOC: Ignore the other sprites from in game. I got the map from Samurai Warriors. Sorry Win: Defeat Hideyoshi Hashiba Defeat: Ujiyasu Hojo is defeated. Kotaro Fuuma is defending the Barracks Kai is advancing on Toshiie Maeda. --Objective-- Assist Kai and Defeat Toshiie Maeda --Player Phase-- OOC: Tutorial: On the map there are squares. You can move up to 5 squares. In commands, make sure it's clear where you move. Example: 3 squares left, 2 squares down. When approach an enemy officers square, you can choose an attack. All officers, including you, have 500hp for this battle. 3 players per battle per side. Any questions, please ask.

ooc: One problem: how the eff could I even read this thing?

OOC:Can i fire poker cards like spider does in megaman X command mission?

OOC: Yeah, can you make the map a little bigger?

Ooc: I'll choose blue for my color. Ic: Alright, lets do this... *Minato moves 5 squares to the right*

OOC: I was hoping it would would be a bit bigger, if you're referring to the map. I'll see if I can fix it. Also, go ahead and shoot cards at people in battle if you want, Spider.

Time to earn my paycheck.... *Spider advances 3 spaces ahead and open fire* OOC:Black F

*Koromaru heads south 3 squares, then left 1.* Arf!

ooc: Orange S

ooc: wait no, got confused. rip.

OOC: Sorry, I can't find away. I suppose, if it's not an issue, you can save the the maps. And Spider, black star/ asterisk thing is in the top left corner. If it wasn't obvious, that's the starting point.

OOC:um....Huh?

OOC: If nothing else, every device has a zoom function that can be used to read the map fairly easily. I'd join in but well, bit busy with my own stuff. Good luck on your test.

OOC: I feel like I'm confusing everyone, including myself, here, so sorry for that. The black Star ( X with a line through it) is 3 squares left of Ujiyasu's starting location (The Black U). The Black Letters are allied units. The Red (And later blue letters because I ran out of corresponding letters for units) are enemy units.

OOC:The idea is solid but more work needs to be done.

OOC: Yeah. I can put this on hold whilst I try to fix the map system. Or remove it and replace with something else. We'll see. Sorry about this. Alpha builds are usually full of flaws, I hear.

OOC: At the very least, make it so that it's not composed of your awlful handwriting (No offense). I'm sure there are some services you can use but i'd just use good old fashioned ascii.

OOC: It looks fine to me, although the indicators don't seem to pop out enough.... Perhaps you could make the rest of the map a shade lighter to fix this potential issue? That and going ahead and expanding the image size in whatever editor you're using.

OOC: I'll try that. Maybe I'll try this again tomorrow. Thanks for you're help anyway.
