D&D Wargaming-- Good vs Evil [Waiting List Recruitment]

[Bibliophile]

mmm... *can't wait for the pitched battles to begin*

 

[Tyreus]

Vengence huh? You will only meet a swift defeat.... Do I sense a friendly rival now? Sweet.

 

[Drakknyte32]

Swift defeat huh? Actually the sad part is that I can believe it myself. I've been running some theoretical simulations between what I know of your army and my new one. I give myself a 35% chance of winning the battle and a 55% chance of surviving the battle. Not good odds but better than I would have had with the dragon apparently. The trouble is that I'm really new to D&D. Look at my post count sometime, all my posts have been for this one game, and I've never played a game of it offline before. It doesn't matter how much I design an army or study the game until I'm used to the system I keep making rookie mistakes.

Of course I'm counting on you to beat some common sense into my head .

So yeah, I'm definately a rival. I may not be much of one right now but I learn fast. One day, when you least expect it, one of my crazy plans will work and I will have my revenge.

It doesn't really concern me since I have't started playing yet, but I say let the Good side have their victory. They have earned it, and they should enjoy it, for they won't have another.

 

[Carnifex]

I gotta say I'm eagerly awaiting my army getting into action. I think the new armies are all going to be better protected than the unfortunate first Evil ones against the whole Scry/Buff/Teleport attack, so doubtless things are going to come down to more actual army vs army combat...

 

[Dalamar]

I think it'll be mooks fighting each other, and then the stronger commanders battling each other to turn the tide of battle. I'd be surprised if the mooks of any one of us's army weren't just fireball food. But the point is that the commanders are fighting which will be able to throw that fireball (or what have you) without getting beaten by the other commander.

 

[Carnifex]

So will we be restarting the game or not? I don't really mind as I'm not actually in play yet and if it's going to make your life easier if we do restart, then I vote for that because God knows you're gonna have a hectic enough job DM'ing this anyway, and if we can ease that for you I reckon the game will go much smoother.

 

[Pyrex]

The official declaration has been to keep going (no restart).

 

[Wrahn]

Okay now the question, is the a perpetual thing or is it fight til there is no more good/evil. If it is the former than I propose that the next entry into the game is 1 good and 2 evil until we even things out. It give good an edge for a while but will eventually even out. Once it is full eight on eight, when an army is defeated, the defeated player should be placed at the end of the waiting list (if there is one) and 1 week wait should be imposed, after which a new army is entered by the person first on the waiting list.

On the other hand if it is the latter, Good just struck a tremendous blow against evil.

Hopefully the latter. If neither side can win the game it is eventually going to feel increasingly pointless to try. There has to be a natural ending to the game.

About our reserve forces (the guardians of our respective centers of power). are they just local defensive resources or can they eventually be used for active offensive warfare?
