I was thinking that it would be fun to host an unofficial event called the Canterlot Battle. The Canterlot Battle is where everypony goes on 2 different teams. Red and blue. They are defined by dyed leather chest plates with rose red dye and the other dye you get from lapis lazuli. The teams would each have archers and swordsmen. The archers would stay behind the ranks and fire as the swordsmen charged each other. I know pvp is not enabled but we could still have a lot of fun swinging the swords at each other and watching arrows fly everywhere. Tell me what you guys think about this.

Unlikely to be an official event, but as an unofficial one, super likely! And it sounds nice; with some added complexity in the equipment it'd surely be worth participating in.

This would be a cool unofficial idea, just remember that if you ungod and start slaying each other, there might be some controversy over the death messages cluttering the general chat. Personally, I wouldn't really mind, it might be fun to watch a bunch of people in a team battle.

Perhaps a Colosseum would be suited for this? I'd be glad to help you Micro, but I haven't updated to 1.4.6 and probably won't for a while, so all my builds are put on hold at the moment until my essential mods get updated.

For armor how about the gold colored solar empire vs. the dark blue lunar republic. We could use the Luna armor and the royal guard armor however the only flaw would be an unequal balance in armor rating.

True because diamond armor is much stronger than gold armor and it wouldn't be fair

Swap the weapons round. Even though, I agree with many ponies here. This would be fun as b*ck. But couldn't we build it in plains, or one of the freebuild worlds? Feel free to correct me if someone has already said that.

I would totally be up for it. I love building fortifications and castle-type structures. Also, the PVP would be a huge bonus as sometimes one runs out of things to do.

I like the idea, and would be willing to help build an arena if thats what we wanna do. Also, are command blocks enabled? I fell those could be used to our advantage of moving dead players, keeping track of winners, handing out prizes, etc.
Or we could just go at each other for a while. Either one would be fun in the end.

Also, how about, for the winners, theres a feast? Potions and food for all?

Well then we'd need three castles. Not a problem. It just depends on what everyone wants to do. I'll try to secure a location where we can build and get started. If it ends up not happening, at least we made big castles ^^

Ooooh. I like that.

We also should have a general shape that they should be so that it's nearly even terms, plus a simple interior that is easily navigable to reach the turrets.

Noted. Now, somone fetch me my water buckets. Ooh! That would be a fun way to push eneimies back from any castle. Water buckets.
Also, just throwing ideas out here. Just spittballing: but, since pegusi can fly, maybe unicorns could get splash potions (to symbolize magic), and earth ponies maybe a tad stronger equipment. Just so each side could have a perk.

So, things we need to decide on:

-2 or 3 teams/races.
-Possible advantages of each race if we do decide on that.
-and some other stuff if people have ideas.

Things already decided:

-Armor: Colored (leather?)
-Weapons: Anything goes (e.g. swords, bows, etc)
- 2 or 3 castles based on the number of factions. Have large interiors that are easily navigable and simple. We don't need to be fancy.

The clouds up high could be the spawning point for the Pegasi. Underneath the clouds on the ground, there could be a second base where the flag is kept. When Pegasi want to enter the battle, they jump down a hole from the top cloud into a puddle of water at ground level and join the fight.

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Each castle is set off the ground with a staircase leading up to them. Each faction will take their place in their respective castles until the start is announced by a referree which could be myself and maybe one other person.

I also had the idea to add in a structure of ruins in the middle with open space around it.

Castles will be in a triangular shape around the ruins in the center.

Also, I don't think the races have to be bound to the person's skin. I think they should be able to join anyways. It seems like an unfair advantage to fly, plus it would be hard to regulate. Therefore anypony caught flying will be considered out and their kills will not count. Anyone killed by the offender is allowed to reenter the game.

Here are some ideas for the races:

Pegasi:They can fly but they are weak.
At the start,they get the armor and a wooden swords.

Unicorns:They get the armor and wooden/stone swords and they have an enchant table in the base to enchant them (let's say everypony will get lvl 10 so they can't do overpowered enchants.

Earth Ponies:They will get the armor and gold/diamond swords. (maybe potions too?)

And about the castles,they should look different.The shape can be the same,but made from different blocks.For example,the unicorns' castle will be made from Gold and Diamons (and other fancy things) and the earth ponies will have a stone castle.

I'm tending to move away from potions. Also enchanting tables. We don't want this to be too fancy from the start so it's confusing. It'll take some trial and error but my idea is to have weekly tournaments and matches. My thoughts are: level playing field with equal grade weapons and armor. We can always adjust in the future. I don't plan on this being a one-time thing.

Maybe once we get started we'll have special battles. Such as snowball only or bows only.

Not yet. We will set a date for the first couple matches once we get it built and everything organized. I will be starting building around 5 PM US central time.

For those who want to help build, log on at that time and TP to me. I'll have a warp set up eventually.

I was in love with the Solar Empire vs. New Lunar Republic since we can dye armor now to make it completely fair. If we make it based on the three tribes people would have to change skins to join whatever tribe they want and blah blah blah.

In my humble opinion, it would be easier to start out with just 2 factions and see how it goes. After all, if it works out then we can always build the third castle and then make more fun stuff.

EDIT: This section below is for if the initial 2 castles are successful
I was thinking along the lines of a battle labyrinth where teams start at their castles outside of a maze (that we construct) and they battle to make their way to the center, retrieve their colored flag, and then exit the area.
To combat REIs minimap , we could always have an admin world edit stone above the maze so that no one has an unfair advantage.

I thought about a maze but I didn't like it. I figured a ruin structure near the middle. plus it would be easier. The flags would be behind the castles in a little courtyard or inside smack dab in the middle of the room.

I think this should be in Range4 (If it hasn't already started being built) so that builders and freebuilders can both build and use water buckets.

If you mean "when are we starting construction", it's whenver Golfmann get's back to us with whatever plans that he's drawing up.

"When we're actually holding the event" is a time that is not currently predictable as there is no idea how long this will take. I'd imagine maybe a week tops. Minimum 1 or 2 days.

I think this should be in Range4 (If it hasn't already started being built) so that builders and freebuilders can both build and use water buckets.

That's exactly my thoughts.

Decision time: before I can go any further:

2 Factions (lunar & solar)
or
3 Races (pegasus, unicorn, and earth.)

Advantages of both

2 Factions: More players to fight for more intense action, could be used for CTF and other modes of play more appropriately than 3

3 Races: Themed castles and start points, triangular orientation

Disadvantages:

2 Factions: more crowded potentially

3 Races: Players more spread out so kind of less intense.

I'm scouring the area as we speak.

They say not to get greedy with land grabs but building huge butt useless buildings pisses me off.

There's not enough space from what i can see for the scale we're talking

I finally found a spot but it's only big enough for 2 castles and its by the edge of the world xD

I've spent the last 3 hours working constantly with no breaks xD

For those of you who are the night crew or are on before I am, what we did is created a basic castle. We need an exact copy on the other side. Do it exactly to the block.

I just had the idea that instead of ruins, we make almost a jungle/hedge in the middle. We could put vines and stuff on the castles so ponies could climb up and also be in theme if we made the whole thing jungly.

If you mean to build, we could always use more.

I checked before I had to go, but it looks good so far!

I managed to get the spectator booth nearly done plus a center piece in the ruins.

I want to make this an official event, but we should run a few trial battles to see if the map runs smoothly. So many ideas running through my head ^^

The spectating area could be a large glass box on a large tree in the middle of the map where the little jungle thing is. If it isn't a jungle and instead stone ruins, then it could on top of a battered pillar in the same place. We could also get an admin to Copy-paste the entire castle to the other side.

I thought it'd be better if it were out of the way of the playing area. So placed it where it is now. In the middle of whatever is going to be there, I put a pillar with a chest on the top. I was thinking tucking two other chests in there as well, with bonus items for the teams to use.

Also, where's the fun in that? ^^

I'll take a look later and see what progress has been done. It doesn't have to be block for block on the interior as much as the outside. It just needs to be close. I'm a do it yourself kinda guy, so that's ok if i'm the only one game :D We still need a ruin design and a better start mechanism. I put levers behind the castle to open the start gates, but that was a quick thing. An idea of mine is to have a control booth to release both teams with a lever or something. As i've said before, i'll see what i can do later today ^^

Okay okay. It seems we have everything almost done thanks to Golfmann14. Thanks bud. And the Idea is a go!

Also has the topic of classes come up yet? I was thinking a warrior and archer class. They both get equal armor only the archers have a bow and a stack of arrows. And the warriors have one of the kind of swords.

Aw thanks but it wasnt just me ^^ I'll be putting up a plaque of those who helped either in the spawn or in both castles. Microburst and I will be refs for games, but since it was your idea you have the choice of what you want to be or do.

My idea for weapons:

Everyone clears inv. and gets equal armor, an iron sword, a bow, and a stack of 64 arrows. There are 3 chests but only one has items that will help the team that claims it. It could be weapons, or whatever. Maybe useless garbage ^^

Right now I've got Hydrowolf524, Epicfail (Micro), Kendraco1998, six672
