Conqueror

[Brilliand]

Role Name: Conqueror

Role Alignment: Neutral Chaos

Abilities:

Each night, the Conqueror can choose two targets: one to kill, and one to heal. He must use both abilities in the same night, or nothing will happen.

Attributes:

• The Conqueror's heal is identical to the Doctor's heal; however, he cannot heal himself.
• If the Conqueror is controlled by a witch, the witch will control his attack but not his heal.

Notifications:

(Standard kill messages, plus Doctor heal messages)

Goal: Reduce every other faction to a single member. At least two other factions must survive.

Win Conditions:

• The Conqueror wins if there are at least two other players alive, and no two of the other living players can win with each other. Survivors, Jesters and Executioners do not count for this purpose.
• When the Conqueror wins, the game ends immediately, and all other factions lose.
• If there is only one other faction alive, the Conqueror loses, and that faction does not have to kill him to win.
• The Conqueror can win with a witch only if there is exactly one Town member alive, and no one else that the witch could possibly side with against the Conqueror. In this case the Witch counts as a faction by herself (but still wins because the town lost). The Conqueror cannot win with two witches at once.

You win with Witches
You win with Survivors
You may spare anyone else.

Special Attributes:
Unique Role
Attack: Basic
Defense: Basic

Investigator Results:
Sheriff - Your target is a Conqueror.
Investigator - Your target could be a Escort, Transporter, Consort or Conqueror.
Consigliere - Your target is trying to divide the town into small, squabbling groups. They must be a Conqueror.

Achievements:

Keeping the Balance: Win the game immediately after preventing a kill with your heal
Many Enemies: Win with at least three other factions left alive

Additional Information:

This is a repost of the Conqueror role I made on reddit, which was named Thanos until I decided to be serious and make it an actual suggestion.

It could probably use a rename. I don't think Conqueror is the best name for this idea, but I haven't thought of anything better yet.

Lore:

The Conqueror is based on the concept that a disliked ruler can hold his position by playing his subjects off against each other, preventing any one of them from becoming strong enough to challenge him. He takes this a step further by gaining dominance over the town through this same method of playing factions against each other.

Getting the goal sounds hard, but the role sounds fun.

sounds fun to play, but doctor is the obvious claim, TP doesn't need to be a more sus claim than it already is. I like the idea, but where the game is now it would make things worse.

The win conditions and goals are really weird. Imagine being a serial killer, finally managing to kill everyone and one of the other guys is the mafioso. Then, yu think your about to win, but all of a sudden this other guy comes from no where and just wins the whole game.

It wouldn't come from nowhere if the conqueror has been attacking people during the game. You'll see that people are dying to him, so you'll know that you need to get him hanged before it gets to the final 3

There are other roles that can steal the Serial Killer's win in that situation. A hidden Werewolf, or a hidden Arsonist, or even a hidden Bodyguard who decides to protect the Mafioso.

This needs some elaboration on how it would work in something crazy like coven all any. Picture this: You can have an arso, WW, SK, PB, vampires, coven, and mafia all in the same game with the conqueror. You're saying the conqueror needs to have 1 of each of these alive in order to win? What happens if just one of these factions completely dies? Does the conqueror have no chance of winning now for the rest of the game?

The Conquerer only needs 2 other factions to survive. The main requirement is that every faction that does survive needs to be reduced to a single member.

Example: the arso gets lynched, the vamp/coven/maf/town all get killed at night, there was only one SK all along. Conqueror wins with the WW/SK/Pestilence still alive.

Neutral Chaos. Neutral fucking Chaos. Fucking brilliant.

[ScratchCat]

so it wins with survs yet they don't count as a faction(I'm guessing cuz they win with everyone)

Yep. None of the existing factions care about survivors, jesters or executioners, so it's better if the Conqueror doesn't care about those roles either.
