[OOC] The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)

[Romero]

You know what, that ones on me. I must have miscounted when I checked. Sorry about that. If you can just quickly fix that @Bright_Ops, that would be awesome.

Can't wait @Aristo, and thanks for the spot.

[Lauder]

@Aristo

Ah, so we will be focusing on technology, me and you. Glad to see there will be two nations with that focus

[Hipster]

Technology doesn't matter if I have more soldiers than you have weapons!

[Lauder]

@Hipster
*laughs* Oh wait your serious? Let me laugh even harder *dies laughing* {not making fun of you just friendly competition + I am sure my core army can hold you off for a while }

@Hipster

This is how you Russian Zerg, yo men don't even need weapons. Just give them a large piece of timber and a potato, what's the worse that could happen to them on the field?

That looks really good so far @Aristo, and your territory is all good! Looks like you'll be getting cosy with @Bright_Ops early on, will be interesting to see what happens there.

All the traits add up, so feel free to post in the character tab, and then work on your history as you want.

[Hipster]

@Lauder (60 million gobbo's appear) Still laughing eh?

[Lauder]

@Hipster
*continues to laugh*

[Hipster]

@Lauder a Hail of arrows blot out the sun and kill his entire army instantly

[Lauder]

numbers don't mean everything *hints at the battle of Thermopylae*

[Slamurai]

numbers don't mean everything *hints at the battle of Thermopylae*

@Lauder

Too bad the Persians still won the battle, in the end.

[Lauder]

@Aristo
Yeah but hey, the Spartans did good for a while

[Bright_Ops]

Wait, the National trait counts as a trait from the score?

[Hipster]

@Lauder Yeah but here's the thing. the Persian's constantly sent small waves up against the spartans. the Persians won in the end because they got their shit together and sent the entire bulk of their army at the spartans. if the Persian's bothered to actually do tactics they could've won immediately.

[Lauder]

@Hipster
Yeah but the Spartans still did decent job while defending.

[ClocktowerEchos]

numbers don't mean everything *hints at the battle of Thermopylae*

@Lauder

Quality doesn't imply greatness either. Look at WW2 tanks, the Germans created perfect engineering masterpieces that could outclass just about anything in the same category (ie a Tiger). However, they still lost because the Americans could vastly outproduce them.

For every Tiger that was killed, 8 Shermans where KIA'd but it was due to sheer numbers that the Allies could beat Germany. One a one to one level, Tigers easily rolfstomped Shermans into the ground, but when you have 8 fucking tanks around you, it doesn't matter how good your tank it or your crew, they're still fucked by numbers.

[Lauder]

@ClocktowerEchos

Yes I know this as well, I am just the type who prefers quality over quantity. Sometimes I like a mix of both.

[Bright_Ops]

Fixed my thing. It's 21 traits plus the racial and the free ones. 25 all up.

[Romero]

Right, I'm away to update the map to have all four accepted nations. I'll wait a day or so to see if any other completed nation sheets get accepted, and then I'll fill the left over space in with NPC nations and we can get this started!

@Bright_Ops Thanks for fixing that
