Rules

For centuries, the TechWarriors have been among the most highly praised warriors on the planet. Face your own personal challenge and fight for glory, honor and credits! Become the most famous TechWarrior of the century!

You require nothing more than an internet connection and a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to play TechWarrior. Click on "Register" and enter the universe of the TechWarriors! Registration is quite easy, doesn't cost you anything and there is no further obligation on your part.

Once you have registered you find yourself on the overview page of your RPG character. Here you can find important information about your character and also your recruiting-link, which you can use to find recruits in the far reaches of the internet by placing the link appropriately. For example, you can send the link to your friends, place it on your homepage or use it as a signature in forums. If a prospective recruit clicks on your link, you receive 1-3 credits as a reward! If your visitor registers a TechWarrior account on the same server, you have recruited a new TechWarrior and you receive 25% of the credits that that the new recruit receives from his/her own victims in the internet! Once the character(s) you have created via your recruiting-link has reached level 3, you receive 50 Gold and 1 Experience Point! You can invest your Gold in training for your pilot or you can buy upgraded weapons, armour and modules for your tech. If you have enough credits and the appropriate level, you can also buy bigger and better techs

In addition to the Hunt in the internet, you can also directly attack other TechWarriors and steal their credits. Your pilot's attributes and equipment play a vital role in these attacks, please see "Overview" for more information.

Here you can see all of the vital information for your character, your tech and its current equipment and condition. You also see detailed statistics about your past battles and can find a list of the pilots you have recruited so far. You can also train the attributes of your pilot and equip your tech with better weapons, armor and modules:

The attributes of your pilot:

The attributes of your tech:

In the hangar you can alter the eqipment for your tech. You can remove weapons or modules and equip new modules from your inventory.

You can also repair your tech; each point of structural integrity restored directly costs you 1 credit. Also, your tech regenerates structural integrity automatically; 10% of the maximum structural integrity is restored per hour as the base regeneration rate. To increase the rate of regeneration, you can upgrade your hangar. Each upgrade level made to your hangar adds 2% to the current regeneration rate. For example, if your hangar is at level 3, your tech will regenerate 16% of its maximum structural integrity each hour!

Here you can purchase new and better weapons and modules for your tech. The modules and weapons only increase the attributes of your tech after they have been installed. To install the new items, click on the Equip button under the image of your tech.

If you have enough credits and the required level, you can buy a better tech here. Your present tech will be sold automatically and you receive 50% of the original purchase price. You keep any modules that were installed. The price shown already includes the resale value of your old tech, therefore the price shown is the number of credits you need to buy the new tech!

Here you can send your pilot to work. The higher your pilot's level, the higher the hourly wage becomes for working in the job-centre. You can send your pilot to work for 1-8 hours.

Here you can send messages to other players and read and answer incoming messages. You can also view the attack and defense reports form your battles against other techs.

Here you can seek out and challenge other techs to a battle!You can either search for a specific opponent if you know the name or you can randomly search for opponents. If you win the battle against your enemy, you receive 5-10% of his current supply of credits. Each player can only be attacked once every 60 minutes and you can only attack the same player once each 12 hours (but that player can attack you after one hour!). Players whose structural integrity has dropped below 25 can neither attack nor be attacked and they cannot go on any missions until the the structural integrity has reached 25. You can attack other players every 15 minutes (as a Premium player every 5 minutes). The structural integrity can never drop below one point, regardless of the outcome of the battle! You receive 1 Experience Point for each battle against players of the same level (whether you won or lost) or a higher level (if you lost); if you win against players of a higher level, you receive 2 points! If the battle is undecided, each player receives 1 point! If you attack very weak opponents (5 or more levels lower than your current level) and win the battle, you will lose experience points as a penalty, because attacks of this nature are dishonorable!

Battle sequence
Battles between techs take place in alternating rounds; the attacker always attacks first.The number of rounds is determined by the size and the reactor capacity of the techs. Each battle round drains 1-2 points of reactor capacity in small techs, while large techs comsume more reactor capacity per round. Before the start of the first battle round, each tech fires its ranged weapon(s) (rockets or plasma cannon). There are 2 types of ranged weapons; the first category consists of projectile weapons and rockets, which damage the armour of the enemy tech. The second category is energy weapons, which are used to damage the shielding of the enemy tech. The offensive damage listed for the techs is always the maximum value, the actual damage caused can be anywhere from 50-100% of the listed damage. The armour value and shielding value are also maximum values. The actual amount of damage absorbed will be between 80% and 100% of the maximum value. If the tactics attribute of one player is less than 50% of that of the opponent, it is possible that the player with the lower tactics level will remain inactive for a round because all attacks in that round were ineffective. The player causing the most damage during the battle always wins the fight; however, if the structural intergity of one of the players falls below 10 points, that player loses automatically!

You can also go on missions here, which brings you loot, credits and experience if you are successful. You can go on missions for 1 hour per day (as a Premium player for 2 hours daily); the mission time is reset server-side once per day at the same time for all players! While on a mission, you can't perform any other actions in the game, such as training your pilot or buying items in The shop.

Several TechWarriors can join forces to form a clan here. By clicking on Clan, you can either search for a clan to join or, once you reach level 3, you can form your own clan. Once you have joined a clan or created your own clan, you will see a menu with several options listed under the Clan link. As a clan administrator you can accept new members, grant admin priveleges and kick clan members. You can also upgrade you clan fortress; the larger the fortress, the more members your clan can hold. The clan requires donations of credits by the clan members in order to upgrade the clan fortress.

As the name suggests, you can change your game settings by clicking on the "Settings" link. For example, you can add some background RPG information about your character or create a text to be sent to potential recruits when they click on your Victim Link! If you have a Premium account, you can upload an avatar for your character and change the character and tech name as often as you please.

The link "Premium" leads you the area where you can obtain a Premium account, helping to support further development of and continue providing support for TechWarrior. TechWarrior can in principal be played free of charge, but the operator of the game must pay for servers and personnel; the receipts from Premium Tickets are used to offset these operating expenses. If you become a Premium Player, the game is free of advertising, you can upload a character avatar, you receive a bonus of 250 credits every month along with many other benefits! You can buy several tickets and use them singly or all at once. Each Premium ticket extends your Premium account for 30 days and grants you a 250 credit bonus. The mission time is NOT increased by one additional hour for each ticket you activate, the mission time for Premium players is always 2 hours!
