The Arkentool War OOC Thread - Signups, Suggestions, etc.

Some clarifications:

Everyone plays as a warlord, but their levels are randomly rolled. Except for the CW, who automatically is lvl 6.

You do need to buy the warlord, but the Knight unit IS the warlord. Tiger, you do need to buy a warlord - but you already bought 5 (which is fine - that gives you five chances to roll for a good level. )

And why does no one want Neufchatel?

Beacuse we're all too noble for easy pickings

Dude running the capitol is a lot of responsibility, i dont know if i'm ready for that kind of a commitment, also i've editted my starting army into my original post

[HerbieRai]

Do you need another player, or are you waiting someones response?

You are welcome, nay, required to join! Resistence is futile

[tigerusthegreat]

I think Watermonkey314 will do that for us.

[HerbieRai]

Alright, then I'll defend the capital and vote Bland for chief. May he not sacrifice me until late game.

Units to come later tonight

[WaterMonkey314]

It's official -BLAND is CW!

Levels later tonight.

Knights can't ride horses. Awww

Ok, my units:

14 archers - 2394
8 pikers - 1224
2 knights - 776
4 scouts - 579
points left: 27

This is unless bland wants a ballista. In which case I'll drop the pikers and take it down to 11 archers, which would leave 114 points.

[tigerusthegreat]

Something tells me we might not need siege for a bit.

[WaterMonkey314]

Knights can't ride horses. Awww

oops. I wondered why no one got a horse. It *should* have Cargo 6 - I meant for it to be able to carry Knights. -facepalm-

So - a special discount! For the duration of this scenario, you can buy a Horse (complete with SIX cargo) for the old price of 800 pts! (As opposed to the correct price of 910).

You can also rejig your armies as needed. To keep the game moving, go ahead and post scouting orders once you've settled on the number of scouts you want.

A formal introduction to the Prologue will come soon (perhaps in a new thread).

[tigerusthegreat]

Scout 1: J9, J9, L9, L8, K7
Scout 2: J8, I7, H7. H6, I6

Consequently if I describe something to someone would they stat it out as a unit? I'm fairly confused by the cost rules.

[WaterMonkey314]

Er... do you mean that you provide a general Stupidworld description, and we come up with Erf stats? Sure - though I optimize first, then make up a description afterwards.

[tigerusthegreat]

Like I want a fast unit with good attack and maybe something like foolamancy, emulating a tiger, powerful and stealthy but maybe not able to take hits.

I also want a sapper type to set dirtamancy traps, builder not neccesary. They should also be fast.

More or less I want fast units with med-high attack but lower hits and defense. Think hit and run style. I probably will be very siege and air light, prefering infantry and archers with good commanders.

[WaterMonkey314]

Ah, ok - though we're not at the point where you need to design your own units yet. It'll be interesting to see how multiple attacks change things - I think hit-and-run attacks will become much more powerful.

[tigerusthegreat]

Yeah I'm just putting thoughts into it.

[HerbieRai]

I'd like to know what our first "objective" is before we start scouting.

[BLANDCorporatio]

I'd like to know what our first "objective" is before we start scouting.

"Yes. What does our King want of us?"

[WaterMonkey314]

New game thread is up (including your first objective)!
