EXAMPLE OF A TEMPLATE
Now that I have completed my preparations, I will do the best I can to help all of you.
There has been some confusion concerning Templates.
Let me show you some examples of Templates.
- - -
On the Lists Post, it says:
WILLIAM RONALD (Planar Celestials/Guardinals/Good Earth Elementals, People of the Kettish Hills, Kevellond Alliance) PL 83 + 16
Here is a sample template for Williams.
Note that Williams is able to allocate ALL of his points (the whole 100, not 86.)
- - -
The Planar Arms Race: I remain in this Race, summoning more Celestials, Guardinals, and Earth Elementals.
The Technological Arms Race: I remain in this Race. I am sharing technology with: Alyx, Black Omega, Creamsteak, Darkness, Forrester, Uvenelei, William, and Zelda.
The Magical Arms Race: I am devoting 30 points to the Magical Arms Race this Turn.
The Undead Arms Race: I am not in this Race.
The Construct Arms Race: I am in this Race.
The Monster Arms Race: I'm joining this Race.
Advancing a civilization: I am devoting 30 points to advancing my civilization this Turn.
(Note that William has 40 points left. He has spent 60 on magical research and advancing his civilization. That leaves him with only 40 PL to devote to armies.)
Regular Troop deployment:
Yeomanry: PL 1 (note to myself - these are forward scouts, whose purpose is to delay an enemy advance)
Sterich: PL 1 (note - these are forward scouts, whose purpose is to delay an enemy advance)
Geoff: PL 1 (note - these are forward scouts, whoses purpose is to delay an enemy advance)
Dim Forest: PL 15 (note to myself - this is a main strike force, ready to hit the drow if they try to reconquer Sterich. It could also be used in conjunction with Baklunish and Crescent Forces to strike at the drow and their allies.)
Verbobonc: PL 22 (note - this force is meant to hold the Verbobonc to Pomarj defensive line against the Shade. And to attack the Shade if possible.)
Races Troop Deployment (for my Planars, Undead, Constructs, and Monsters have better attacks and defenses)
Verbobonc: Planars 4 (Note to myself - I want my toughest guys in the army facing the Shade, so I am placing them at Verbobonc)
Verbobonc: Monsters 1 (Note to myself - Again, I want my best fighters going against the Shade.)
Verbobonc: Constructs 1 (Note to myself - I'm throwing all my best stuff against the Shades)

Please note that Williams did not place his 8 points from the Technological Arms Race, or his 2 points from the Magical Arms Race, because these numbers symbolize progress, not how many monsters or beings summoned.
