Mobilising Armies. //NEW UPDATE!

[Rawr]

JaGeX came out with their new update today, and I thought I'd post this so everyone can post their thoughts / opinions about it.

Mobilising Armies is a new multiplayer combat minigame, but instead of controlling your avatar you’ll be controlling a whole battalion, deploying your squads with tactical precision and trying to second-guess the intentions of your opponents. There are four different scenarios to play in: Conflict, Siege, Hoard and Rescue. Each presents its own set of challenges, such as building catapults, collecting resources and stealing from your opponents, to name just a few. Don’t worry about finding three other players, though: when you turn up at the command centre the officers will arrange your match for you.

As we all know, war isn’t cheap, so with Mobilising Armies we are introducing a commodity-exchange system. If, after training a skill, you’re left with a lot of commodities that you don’t need yourself (e.g. a surplus of jewellery after training Crafting), you’ll be able to trade them in at the command centre for investment credits, which can then be exchanged for squads and special units, such as cannons, barricades or exploding chinchompas. You can also choose to stake investment credits in an impending battle for a larger payout of reward credits, which can in turn be spent on additional items.

There are a variety of rewards for victorious commanders, including quest kits that let you hold much-needed questing tools in one inventory slot, resource locators that’ll teleport you directly to resources such as mining spots and trees, and “spoils of war”, which are a selection of resources, gold and items that will allow you to train your skills further

Good luck, and enjoy!

(For a look at some of the technical challenges we've faced in developing this minigame, take a look at this recent blog post from Andrew, titled Mobilising Armies.)

Summary:
Mobilising Armies can be found south of the Feldip Hills and west of Oo’glog. You can get there using any of the following:

* Spirit trees
* The Mobilising Armies Teleport spell in the standard spellbook
* The Ring of Duelling

There are no requirements to start playing, but to keep playing you’ll need tradeable commodities.

"spoils of war" sound good. Might try it, I was actually thinking this would be my type of minigame.

 

[FallOut50]

Mmk,i might try it .

Thank's for telling about the rewards.

 

[saint_james]

Wow, its wicked easy.

I just got all heavy elves, and sent of them to attack one person at a time. I've won all 3 times.

Rewards are pretty crappy, but its still is some decent fun i guess.

not bad mini - game almost got all the clothing - ill have by the end of the game hah

The rewards are crap but the games fun, it's easy to comprehend, just buy a bunch of gnome glider special attacks and you hit like 180's on people, I won like 4 times by piling people 1 by 1.

Exile lost 350m by logging out of the tutorial. Don't log out if you do the tutorial. And Mod Mat K said "He knows more about Exile's account the Exile does." And screwed himself by finding out he actually did lose 350M.

 

[mccanon_9492]

it was about time that they did something about it.. i heard a whole lot of people lost a lot of money!

 

[djinn]

it's fun but nothing if you wan't to gain xp/reward

 

[Bman :)]

This is an amazing game, really fun, and yet sometimes a challenge

The rewards are also nice

I saw that, it was hilarious, mod mat K must feel like the biggest dick right now.
stupid fucking JaGeX.
Personally, i like mobilisinag armies, and im guessing there will be some pretty
cool rewards when you get further up.

You got that right :laugh: !

As for the minigame, I'm still trying to get used to it. I'll have it down by tomorrow .

Can pures do this too? Also.. any certain combat level needed?

Pures can do it and so can skillers.

Now, my opinion on the game is that it was rushed. Not really much in it. Rewards are not very good and it takes too long to find a game. I say it will be better in a few weeks. Wonder what kind of glitches this has created as it's quite new content and new content is always great to exploit.
