There are a number of floating castles in the world of Alzeran. Part of the reason being things tend to not last particularly long on the surface with the lava and the deadly beasts and the occasional unexpected explosion or meteorite impact, but mostly because the planet is particularly good at supporting floating architecture for some reason, despite its non-gas giant nature. Theres been quite a few races taking note of this lately, and you can see a number of them under construction as you enter Alzeran's airspace.

So, this is part-RP and part stat-based castle fighter, if I was going to try to describe it in types of game.
Each player is in charge of a sizable floating sky castle. It doesn't have to be typically castley, or even medieval, but however you make it, it has to be describable as 'A sizable floating sky castle' in some way or another. Sky castle towns or sky fortresses are also acceptable for particularly town-with-fortifications-like ones or militant ones respectively. Your ruler/how they rule/their race and so on is entirely up to you though with the limit being the forum rules. The eventual goal is to gain absolute air superiority over Alzeran, however it happens. Diplomatic alliance, A war that makes the surface even less survivable by the end (but now has some interesting ruins to explore carefully), whatever ends up being the case. This goal might end up changing later, but not without something significant happening.

Major turns that involve everyone will be put together by myself, but otherwise things like diplomacy or general interaction or insulting an opposing castle with creatively repurposed clouds or something like that is up to you guys. A major turn will have Turn # in bold text (and won't be sooner than every couple days most likely, depending on how much is going on) and account for all the actions I find since the last one in a summarized way, as well as updating the map locations of everyone and possibly an event. A minor turn is for things like coordinating actions between some but not all of the people involved in the game, or for people having RP or diplomacy and so forth, and can happen any number of times between major turns. Minor turns can also involve miniupdates if I make any. I'll try to solve conflicting posts myself as GM, but if theres a conflict that I miss (or aren't there for at all) and its not worked out on its own, minor turn actions will go in chronological order based on post time.

Originally I was going to limit this to 6, since I'm not spectacular at managing multiplayer things. But for now, I'll leave the game open for anyone who wants to come and castle and we'll see if it works out. (This means you can still join midgame, just you have to start at the edge of the map. Any location not already in use on the edge will do.)
The map below is divided into approximately 48x48 pixel blocks; approximately because the edge tiles ended up slightly larger or smaller when I had finished laying out the grid in paint.net. A normal-sized sky castle fits into one block.

Green is floating islands. You can land on these if you want, or just float over them or around them. Hopefully I don't have to explain what the clouds are

Spoiler: Castle Construction List (click to show/hide)

Name: (The name of the castle itself is required, the name of your ruler is optional but probably important.)
Color: (This is for the map, so you can tell where the crap you are, as well as whose nearby. Hex code preferred, otherwise you get my best guess at what you meant.)
Theme/Background: (the former for a general description of the castle, the latter if you want to be descriptive.)
Starting present: Infernium Core, Gilded Box, Spike That Menaces With Spikes (Mysterious technological gift, expensive but otherwise unknown gift, or a random but probably useful weapon, respectively. Not all presents will be the same in each category. These are given out on turn 1, or whichever turn is your first one.)
Starting grid location: (Letter first. You can also mention a starting direction of movement if you want as long as your sky castle can move itself)
[Put castle stats here] (See below for details)
Example stats:
Propulsion: 5
Structure: 5 / Integrity: 5
Shield: 0
Population: 5
Luck: 5

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

These are mostly combat-related stats, although they can be relevant to other things as well.
A zero in a stat is exceptionally bad; A zero in Shield or Luck are the exceptions to this, as you'll see in a moment. 5 is average and 10 is rather great, and everything between 10 and 20 is various shades of excellent. You all start at 5 in each except for Shield (which starts at zero), and with 10 extra points to spend in them. Stats may be lowered down to 1 to gain additional specialization elsewhere, except for Propulsion, which may be lowered all the way down to zero if you wish to be as stationary as a floating sky castle can be, and Luck, which may be zeroed if you’re afraid of RNG events. This gives you a total of 30 points at the start, which you can freely redistribute 28 of at the start.

Propulsion: Regardless of what your engine is, this determines how powerful it is at pushing thy castle about the skies of Alzeran. Zero propulsion is essentially up to the whims of the winds to push you, while 20 Propulsion could do battle with a hurricane, although depending on your Integrity at the time, it may be the only part that remains intact if you decide to actually fight one. Can be augmented by things that improve your engine(s) and decreased by having bad things happen, like engines being shot off/exploding/struck by falling space rocks. At five propulsion you will move 1 block per major turn, at ten you can move up to 2, at 15 you can move up to 3, and at 20 you can move up to 4 spaces per major turn.

Structure & Integrity: How well-built and intact your sky castle is, and the current state of it. Integrity is based on Structure, so adjusting your starting Structure stat will also adjust Integrity accordingly.
Zero Structure means your claim to the skies has crumbled to its end and fallen onto the surface like the aforementioned space rocks. 20 structure is a very tough nut to destroy. Integrity equal to your current Structure means you are more or less undamaged, while less integrity than structure means you've taken notable damage. Integrity can temporarily be improved higher than Structure (and past 20 as well) by doing things like bolting armor plates to most of your outer walls or similar things, but repairs will only bring Integrity back up to your Structure. Actions that improve the castle as a whole physically are good for these. Major structural changes (like losing engines) will permanently decrease structure (and thus max base integrity) until replaced or worked around.
Integrity is doubled for the purpose of taking damage when resolving combat actions.

Shield: Magical or technological-based bonus Integrity, basically. Intercepts all forms of damage (the exception being sabotage performed while physically on the sky castle itself) before integrity does. If you are starting with more than 5 of this, you should have a reason for it. Hiding in a cloud bank will give a point of this for free, assuming said cloud bank is not evaporated by lava cannons or something before you get attacked. Shield does not regenerate for free by default unless you have 20, and if you have made it to 20 you probably have a power source to generate it anyway. (Max starting shield stat is 19.) Shield is not doubled for the purpose of taking damage when resolving combat.

Population: How many peasants/servants/mechanical robocommandos/purple wizards/chosen ones there are in your sky castle, in a very general and simplified fashion. Zero population means you've died and so has everyone that could keep the place afloat, and will quickly lead to no structure either unless it gets possessed or something. 1 Pop means that you (or your replacement) and a bare minimum skeleton crew are still surviving on your likely heavily damaged sky ruin. 20 means your floating sky castle cannot hold any more population and will probably have problems happen occasionally due to overcrowding. -1 population means you are the sky castle (not just the ruler of it) and makes this stat mostly irrelevant. An amount of population with a * on it (like 5*) means the castle will collapse (or implode, or explode, etc) like a load-bearing boss if your ruler is killed, but will not happen unless you set it up as such. In combat, this can be reduced if you take heavy enough damage. Setting up the star if you want it costs an extra point into pop, while having -1 costs ten points.

Luck: How often you (probably) will get an event during a major turn. This stat is inverted from the rest; zero luck means you will get no events ever, unless the event effects everyone else (and thus get turned into a global event) or something you did triggers an event on its own. 10 luck means that your sky castle, your stats, or potentially even your ruler's life is going to be affected by the whims of the RNG every major turn, for better or for worse. A d10 is rolled to determine events, if its less or equal to your luck, you get the event, whatever it turns out to be. (So if you have 4 luck, and it rolls a six, then nothing happens to/for you because you aren't that (un)lucky. Luck cannot go above 10, and if you somehow into negative luck I probably will have bad, reality-altering things happen to your castle~)

---

Power: This is a very flexible stat that depends on what you want it to do, and is separate from the main 5 above as far as points go. Also a very overview-like stat, similar to population. By default it only goes up to 20 like the other castlestats, but with gm approval, you can use this as weapon/defense point caps instead, or for something else with a different maximum number entirely. Creativity is key here to making the best use of how the power stat works for you instead of adding an entire other system of stats to the game. I’m fine with doing the latter if nothing else works and you're absolutely sure of it but less things to keep track of is better.

Examples of things you might use the power stat for are thus: Are you freeform spellcasters? This is mana, and is based on what you do to generate mana. Perhaps it drains population to boost mana (which then is used for spells), or maybe it just takes a lot of work. Or it collects naturally but is limited per major turn.
Does the sky castle have an engine? Redirect all power to propulsion and speed up for awhile, or boost the destructiveness of your weapons batteries. Is it a steam engine? Nom a cloud, do more things at once.
The two major points of it: What is it doing/how does it do it (like the mana example), and what can happen to it to negatively or positively affect it? (like the engine getting damaged and requiring repairs, for example) You need both of those points described if you need this stat for something. If you don't need it, it can be ignored for your castle.

Spoiler: Weaponry and Defensery (click to show/hide)

You can construct your own kinds of weapons or defenses. The below stats are just for combat purposes, and limiting how many you can have at once so people don't fire all the infinite weapons at once at everything, or something

Weaponry and Defensery
1-20 scale for each stat, maximum of 60 points spent per weapon type or 40 per defense type. Each castle, unmodified or upgraded, has 100 points for mounted weaponry and 100 for defenses. These points can be filled in any way, but you have to design your own. Stats for both are below. Weapons and defenses that are not ‘active’ and in use do not count against this cap, but also cannot be used in combat, obviously. They can still be hit by stray shots though!

---Weapons---
Destructiveness: How much damage maximum the weapon can inflict, outside of critical hits. More powerful weapons are generally bigger. Weapons with more than 20 massiveness can get a bonus to this if it’d make sense to. A weapon with more than 20 destructiveness is special and you’ll need to bring it up with me.

Massiveness: How big the weapon is. Bigger weapons are easier to hit, and this stat is the one used to determine how many points it takes up when in use. No less than 3/4ths of Destructiveness rounded up, unless its a special weapon and you bring it up to me. For very low (or nonexistent decoy) levels of destructiveness it must be at least 1, but Massiveness can be raised over 20 if its seriously a gigantic weapon. (Or to describe its so big its built into the structure of the sky castle)

Speediness: Fast weapon fires faster than slow weapon. Not a particularly complicated stat, but try to elaborate in the description if you’ve got a massive yet very quick weapon.

Stability(ness): How likely it is the weapon is going to work. 1 stability is required for a chance to hit, 5 stability is required to have a chance at crits; weapons with zero stability (sabotage, heavily damaged in the wrong spot, however it happened) are guaranteed misses with a 50% chance to blow up per shot. Weapons with 20 stability are not 100% guaranteed to hit, but its pretty damn close.

Specialization(ess): A two part stat. First part is for what kind of weapon it is (a word or two, like ‘Point Defense’ or ‘laser’, or ‘couch gun’), the second part is how badly it does outside it primary usage. Highly specialized weaponry get a bonus to their area in exchange. A zero in specialization means its probably not good at anything in particular, but it also doesn’t have any penalties in that regard either! 5 is considered average (like a small laser that usually fires at the enemy for an average amount of damage, but if aimed quickly can also be used to destroy missiles instead)

Example weapon:
20 destructiveness
15 massiveness
5 speed
15 stability
5 specialization
= 60 points.

---Defenses---
Specialization: Like its weapon counterpart, what kind of defense is this? What is it the best at defending against? Does it shoot back? The numeric part is used to reduce damage for tanking defenses, or how good it is at countering fire for firing defenses.

Integrity: For defenses that defend by tanking damage, although its also the health of firing ones if they get hit directly.

Massiveness: Same as the weapon version, used for how many points it takes up in defense when active. Bigger tanking defenses generally have more integrity, firing defenses usually have more Specialization. Must be 3/4ths of either integrity or specialization, or no less than 1.

(Not trying to make one good way to make maxed-stat weapons, just trying to not let people just max everything)

For an attack, you have a d20 + stability, vs a d20 + specialization (or if the target has no defenses left, d20 + propulsion) If you roll higher, you hit. If you both are attacking at the same time, roll d20 + weapon’s speed vs the same on the opponent’s side if you both hit to determine who hits first. Multi-weapon attacks use an average of all the weapons’ speed for the speed.

A dX is rolled afterwards for damage (X being equal to your weapon’s destructiveness, using this dice roller), and any damage leftover after subtracting defense specilization, integrity, and shield will hit the sky castle’s integrity. (Specifically, Shield comes first and subtracts its full capacity in damage. Specialization reduces it based on how high it is and acts second. Defense integrity is bashed into next, and sky castle integrity is last. If the target has zero integrity, do Structure damage instead. If after all that theres still damage leftover somehow, just hit a random non-zero non-luck stat) If you want, you can aim for particular bits of the castle like weaponry or defenses in exchange for a more difficult hit chance. If these are hits, the object's Integrity (if any) will be hit before castle integrity, but otherwise is last on the list.

Attacks with multiple weapons use the same d20 + stability for each type of weapon (If you have 4 heavy lasers and 2 plasma cannons, you’d have two rolls; one for the lasers and one for the plasma), and an average of the weapons’ Destructiveness is used to determine the dX. If all of the weapons hit, you get x1.5 the damage from the dX as a bonus.
For crits, its an extra d20 without any modifiers. If the roll equals your weapon’s stability, its a critical. Criticals do double damage and can stack with the All-hit bonus from a multiple weapons attack; It uses the lowest stability stat of all crit-capable firing weapons in that case. You can only crit once per attack, and only if all weapons in the attack are crit-capable.

Defense Specialization damage reduction: (All decimals will be rounded down.)
5 or lower in the stat: 1/4th removed
6 to 10: 1/3th removed
11 to 15: Half damage
16 to 20: 2/3rds removed

Spoiler: Alternates (click to show/hide)

There is two kinds of alternate: Changing the names to fit your race better, and entirely alternate systems. For the first group, all you need to do is put the original stat name [in brackets] before or after the new name, so I know which is which. This can be done as much as you want as long as you don't forget the brackets. As an example, Mana [Power].

The second group needs GM approval, and requires the following:
1. Why do you need all these extra stats, and can part of it be replaced by Power (or another stat) instead? If you cannot answer this first one, the other two are irrelevant.
2. A way to fit whatever you’re doing into the attack/defense system, if relevant to attack or defense.
3. A way to determine a limit on how many active things you can have at once, like the weapon or defense point caps.

Spoiler: The Destroyed (click to show/hide)

1. The Hand of God, formerly ruled by Queen Kekerezzar. Shot down by Castle Arrip on Turn 6, after several turns of battle.
2. Castle Arrip, formerly ruled by High Councilor Flabor. Revenge killed by the Fluxxstone on Turn 7 after its victory over the Hand of God.
3. Castle Zipworld, formerly ruled by Illustrious King Portsummon. Burned out of existence by the Devastator Airship on Turn 9 after they fired a War Room at it to help Heaven's Acropolis.

[Criptfeind]

This is interesting, I think I'll throw up a application. Although I have two questions. It says that setting your population to -1 costs 10 points, do you still get the five points that start in population for doing that? Or are those points lost? Also it says that setting your population to #* makes it so your castle explodes (presumably damaging your attacker) when your ruler dies, does that refer to your last population dying, so it sorta explodes in retribution after you lose the game, or does that mean that lucky hits and random events that kill whomever happens to be the leader of your castle at the time can cause you to randomly explode and lose?

[Aklyon]

You can decrease population to 1, and then spend those 4 points as part of the cost of setting it to -1 if you want to. The last point just vanishes, since you can't start with zero population and can't set it to zero outside of everyone being dead.

The * effect is basically "If I die, everythings going down with me!", along with any explosives or other traps you have all being triggered automatically.
I do have some limitations added onto things and notes on events like 'Don't ever pick this one for load-bearing-rulers, regardless of if it comes up', but its more for flavor than any particular advantage, since its really more of a disadvantage. Anything that effects population will not hit the ruler unless you're down to 1, but if something specifically targets the ruler and they die as a result, the castle asplode. If they die and then soon after are quickly revived (emphasis on soon), you still take some Structure damage, but should survive.

Question: you say we need to roll a d20 to settle combat. Will you alone be doing the rolls or will players be trusted to honestly report their rolls? What if a player doesn't have access to a d20 or a program which simulates dice rolls?

Working title: Taking rope bridges to the extreme!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name Castle Arrip Ruler High Counciler Flabort
Color Cyan
Theme/Background Eiral people have a way of weaving and hanging ropen nets from existing structures, and bracing them with stiff wooden dowels to create more structures, and build downwards. They claim to be the first to lay claim from the skies, their lore involving having come FROM the skies.
The resulting structures are an example of building DOWNWARDS from up above, and are very durable but unstable; a ballista bolt might just pass through the ropes, but each room and walkway sways to and fro erratically whenever their home moves.
By tightly weaving their ropes into knots and fabrics, they can create privacy-giving walls, which form private rooms that they can sleep in comfortably. Most rooms, walls, and walkways, though, are woven loose enough to see through.
Castle Arrip was built by Eiral people. It's top structures are the engine itself, forged out of steel and enchanted by top Eiral mages; also a residential section housing those Eirals who maintain and control the engines. Just below it spreads out some winding round paths that lead through a commercial district, surounded by a barracks that had been added later.
The barracks contains the weaponry that the Eiral people have developed to defend their castle and claim to the skies from other peoples. Magic cannons that fire balls of compressed water, which is the same enchantment used residentially to hydrate the population.
Below the markets and barracks, there exists more residential spaces, as they grew haphazardly, and industrial spaces, as the need for metals and more products grew. Industries focus on creation of rope to create new homes with, creation of metal to fuel magic with, and creation of food and water; other industries include weapons and cremation, as well as numerous others.

In traditional came-from-the-sky fasion, Eiral have bird-like beaks; specifically, like the Pelican. They can inflate their beaks to intimidate, though in modern society it is used more for status.
Except for when they have inflated their beaks, they are rather slender. They have tall narrow faces with high-wide-set eyes, and hair that covers little of their head; it is often braided like rope, and grows fast. Even young Eiral often have a decorative stand-up collar rising from their neck to above their head made of their own braided hair.
They are generally humanoid, with the traditional two arms with one elbow each and two legs with one knee each. Their arms are agile, though, with little hooks on the sides that can be used in navigating the outside of a Eiral structure without falling, and their hands are skinny and agile. Their arms extend to their knees. Their legs are fairly normal, except for the feet, which have two opposable toes on the inside-side (two thumb-toes, adjacent to eachother), allowing for a very strong and versatile grip that their hands cannot achieve. Their legs also have climbing hooks.
Eiral fashion is usually short-sleeved, and short-panted, or in the case of skirts/dresses/kilts, also short, because anything longer would hamper their movement.
Typical lifespan is 70 years, or 50 years at typical health-levels.

The millitary forces of the Eiral are typically spell casters, weaving comes naturally to them and so does weaving magic. However, their favored form of magic involves using engraved or enchanted metal as the tools to cast, and the magic will wear away at the metal until it is unusable; typically 5-10 casts for mass-produceable millitary equipment, hundreds of casts for home-use water creation magic, and as few as only a single casting for a powerful spell.
Fortunately, the Eiral have a spell to create more iron and steel; bronze can also be created, but is less valuable to Eiral spellcasters. They Castle Arrip typically creates 200 lbs of raw materials per major turn.
Flight magic is a popular spell, but is expensive as far as magic goes. The spells used in the creation of Castle Arrip consumes a lot of metal, and uses up most of the metal produced in the castle, around 140 lbs of raw materials per major turn are used up - their extra, useless burnt-out mass is discarded.
The favored magic weapon is a bolt of compressed water. The cannons used by the castle are just larger versions of the same spell.

Color: Very dark red

Theme/Background: A common castle made of brick of all kinds, a hodgepodge of materials scavenged from the warp forces surrouding this castle. it has 10 rooms, a crafts shop, a general store, a throne room, a barracks, a castletown, a tinkerer's shop, and a Warp Focus room, (Allows upgrading and tinkering with things found in alternate realities, and ultimately the warp stat itself.) the remaining rooms are empty. this castle moves with the will of the warp, moving slowly, and randomly.

A mysterious force known only as the Warp surrounds the castle of Zipworld, causing things from across time and space to end up on their doorsteps, from beasts of fantastic colors and forms, to tools that have no use in our world, and even objects from the fiction of our own world, all these end up in Zipworld eventually.
