STEEL LEGION (game example)

ZXNet echo conference «spbzxnet.games»

From Alex Goryachev To All 13 December 1998

Glad to contact you, All! Fulfilling the wish of one critic... ;-) For clarity, I give an example of several possible rounds of the game. Round 1. ------ Participants: Shtuchkin, Dryuchkin, Glyuchkin. (any coincidences - consider it random) :-) There are three Participants - therefore there are three Novice robots, who automatically become Legionnaires in the first round. The Steel Legion was created for this game. Now the Participants have to capture him, knocking him out of the Legion other people's robots. Participants who joined the game in other tours, will be in slightly less favorable conditions. Legionnaire fights take place in one group because Legionnaires in total three pieces. We believe that Legionnaire Shtuchkin won the battle. Then at Shtuchkin There is already one "Terminator" status in the current game. Let's remember. All three Legionnaire robots remain in the game. The intermediary informs through the network about the results of the tour, as well as about the progress of battles in the tour. "From the Zetnet Information Bureau...". :-))) Round 2. ------ Participants: Shtuchkin, Dryuchkin, Glyuchkin, Tuchkin. Each of the participants sent a Newbie. There are four Newbies. But because in the last round Shtuchkin won “Terminator”, then Another Newcomer will participate from him in _this_ round. The intermediary makes a copy of the robot sent by Stuchkin. Total: five Newcomers. Legionnaire robots also participate in General battles along with For beginners to confirm their qualifications. Three Legionnaires.Total: eight robots: Shtuchkin: 2 Newcomers, 1 Legionnaire. Dryuchkin: 1 Newcomer, 1 Legionnaire. Glyuchkin: 1 Newcomer, 1 Legionnaire. Tuchkin: 1 Newbie. General battles. We believe that four pairs won: Newcomer Shtuchkina, Newcomer Tuchkina, Legionnaire Shtuchkina, Legionnaire Glyuchkina. Both newcomers will participate in the battle for Legionnaire status. Losing Newcomers are disposed of. :-) The two victorious Legionnaires remain in the Steel Legion, but Legionnaire Dryuchkin was unlucky - the GAMES file awaits him, where it will be available for study. Shadow monitors. ;-) Newcomer fights. Fight of two surviving newcomers - candidates to Legionnaire status. We believe that Novichok Shtuchkin won. We have three Legionnaires in the Steel Legion, and two of them are Legionnaires of Shtuchkin. Legionnaires' fights. Legionnaires fight in a group for the status of "Termi- natora". We believe that Legionnaire Shtuchkin won. It's already Shtuchkin's second "Terminator" - remember! The second round is over. There are three robots in the Legion. Round 3. ------ Participants: Shtuchkin, Dryuchkin, Glyuchkin, Tuchkin. Each of the participants sent a Newbie. There are four Newbies. But because in the last round Shtuchkin won “Terminator”, and he has this status for the second time in this game, then from him in _this_ _two_ more newcomers will participate in the tour. Total: 6 Newcomers. Legionnaire robots also participate in General battles along with For beginners to confirm their qualifications. Three Legionnaires.Total: nine robots: Shtuchkin: 3 Newcomers, 2 Legionnaires. Dryuchkin: 1 Newbie Glyuchkin: 1 Newbie Tuchkin: 1 Newcomer, 1 Legionnaire. General battles. General battles must be one-on-one. Therefore The Mediator makes a clone copy of one of the Legionnaires by lot, for the missing pair. After the battle, the clone is destroyed. We have five pairs of robots. We believe that two survived the battles Legionnaire Shtuchkin, his two Newcomers and Druchkin’s Newcomer. Newcomer fight between candidates for Legionnaire status ended with the victory of the robot Shtuchkin. And now there are three Shtuchkin Legionnaires in the Steel Legion and... that’s it. This means that Shtuchkin managed to capture all Steel Legion! Congratulations to the winner! Glory to Shtuchkin! Hooray! :-))) Of course, this example is exaggerated in terms of constant victories one Participant, but I think he explained the course of a possible game. I'm waiting for responses and questions. Best regards, Alexey Goryachev (Linker/PROFSOUSE).
