I'm not either. Ten points for us!

And Shady, it's not that you're the only evil in a land of goodness and light, it's that you're more...open about your dark side.

Not really. I'm just kinda surprised(this being a fantasy setting) that everybody is human and relatively good(read: boring).

And dude you just wait until the game starts...I have a few surprises for you. :wink:

We have a few spellcasters (The few military spellcasters we have are part of the small Spellcorps) and a decent number of Medical Spellcasters administrated by the Imperial Academy of Medical Magics, but the main focus of the military is upon the machine and it's refinement. Each Generation of weaponry of the Tsardom's Red Imperial Army (RIA) is superior to the previous while the Tsardom rebuilds the lands of Liberated Peoples to its superior standards, sweeping aside the corrupt and destructive bringing with it improved irrigation, consumer goods, agricultural methods, Justice, Sanitation, Education and Vodka to the new additions to the empire.

The Forces of Darkness shall be swept away by our armies while the once mighty nobles get their just deserts for tyranny and opression in the Gulags! Victory to Tsar-Mikhail I, VICTORY TO THE RED TSARDOM!

I am neither good nor evil, but rather rigidly pragmatic. If you're winning, I'll likely be on your side.

But behind you, so that my dragons can torch your pathetic sunburnt legions.

I don't know about this whole good vs. evil schtick, but I do know that the people of Crete probably would rather see me take over their fair island than the uber hordes of evil demons galore. After all we bring them prosperity, giant temples, and odd Egyptian-ness, whereas you people bring them... Uh... Darkness, death and drinking the blood of their brothers and sisters...

Frankly I think you Evil Empire guys vastly underestimate the giant bonus we 'whee live the magical life dudes, palaces for everyone!!' folks get.

Uh...yes they can?

Only a fool rejects useful tools because of ideology. Your technology will simply not protect you from the kind of attacks magic user can perform against your command staff and logistical train. Ursoids, for one, are a prime target for rage-inducing spells :D

And none of us are "iron wielding savages". We know steel and widely use it.

Lets see, vampires are typical infantry, golems are priced same as mine your doom bringer can carry 250 additional soldiers at that price and your dragons are terrifyingly powerful.

I'd say you're doing it right.

So we can use points on ourselves? That's the read I get from SiegeTank, anyway.

If so, what if I put all 25,000 points on myself? Does that make me the God of this world? :twisted:

I only spent a thousand points on the Pharaoh because I noticed Darkevilme and Dark Hellion did the same thing with their heroes. Should we collectively decide to leave our 'selves' unrated though I'd be fine with that, I could probably find some other thing to waste those points on :).

While you could spend 25,000 points on yourself, you'd have to spend 4 years or so just to capture one territory, by yourself. Then you could do it again. WHEEEE!

By the way, I meant to bring this up earlier but I forgot, I don't think we should pay support for heroes. It really shouldn't cost the same amount to keep 1 rich dude feed as to keep 1000 or more dudes feed and housed, etc. As long as no one abuses this (makes their whole army heroes kinda bullshit) it should make people more interested in investing in hero units (which under the current rules suffer a large amount of disadvantages without much advantage other than flavor).
