Thought this might be fun. If not, then screw you, I don't need your black jack and hookers.
Four players shall take on the role of lieutenants in an ancient world army, such as the Romans or Gauls. They will then form a strategy to defeat an opposing A.I controlled army, and I will carry it out using the original Rome Total War. Screen shots of the battle's high lights will follow, so you can see how awesome/crap you all are. Yay!
So here's how it goes:
1) Each player will apply for a specific role within the army, which are as follows:
- Left Flank (General) = The force operating on the left of the army. Also has the army's general.
- Center = The central part of the army.
- Right Flank = The force operating on the right of the army.
- Reserve/Skirmishers = Archers or skirmish troops, or a "second center".
2) I will post their point allowance, and the units they can use.
3)Once the players have informed me what units they wish their role to be made up of, I will then post a picture of the awaiting enemy army, along with total number of units and type. A picture will also go up, showing the starting deployment position of the players' army.
4)The players must then give me their individual strategies for their respective role.
5)I will then play out the battle, following the orders issued, and will post high-lights of it at its conclusion. Or, I may pause the battle if the AI responds in such a way that makes the orders given obsolete, and ask for an update.
Simples!

Battle: Name of battle you wish to participate in. See above (Battle of Sicily, for example). This is so I can tell obsolete players from current ones.
Desired Role: Left Flank (General)/Right Flank/Center/Reserve
Units: How many and of what
Flank/Reserve Deployment Style: How far away from the army's center do you wish to deploy? For example, the left flank might want to start far away so it can swoop on the enemy flank at a better angle, or the reserve player might want their skirmishers right out in front. Leave blank if you want the default start up.
