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

[LazarusLong42]

The Light Brigade

This army posting will be mvoed into the RG once it's recalculated.

I'm tempted to lead the Undead Hordes of the evil army, but the inherent weaknesses of an actual army of the dead.. Must think...

That's exactly what I'm currently working on. I wanted to try Demons, but when dretch start at CR3 it just wasn't working.

Currently the main body of the army is Zombie Kobold crossbowmen with skeletal wolf light cavalry. Undead have huge inherent weaknesses, but my main force is virtually immune to arrows...

Not all of the statblocks are worked out yet, but I figured I'd post the general overview of the brigade.

------------
First-Level Supra-units:

Cavalry Squad: 2.777

1 Corporal (Pal1) = 1
4 Privates (War1) = 1.777

Cavalry Platoon: 47.888

5 Cavalry Squads = 13.888

1 Staff Sergeant (Pal4) = 16
2 Sergeants (Pal2) = 8
1 Priest-Adjutant (Clr3) = 9
1 Mage-Adjutant (Sor2) = 4

So, what, your cavalry charges into battle making clop-clop noises using coconuts? You may want to allocate some CR to mounts...

Also, Fieari, I assume that PC/NPC levels come with their appropriate equipment in addition to the 250kgp alotted to the army?

This sounds like fun - if there's still room and I can get my head around the system - ...

I assumed that mounts would be considered "gear", given that they are listed in the PHB as such. If this is incorrect, Fieari, please let me know

Allright, they're yours.

Now that leaves me with three choices...

The Magi Nation - an army of Spellcasters.
The Mongul Hordes - Human Barbarians and Druids
The Dragonic Empire -Several dragons(Younger ones of course)

 

[Pyrex]

Interesting options. The concept of a small army of high-cr (say 4x @ CR15) occured to me as well. Of course so did the one-man lvl-31 Druid army...

*goes back to trying to make the undead work...*

Hell! you were thinking of that too!

So much for hit them with waves of summoned swarms!!!!

 

[Pyrex]

Something about being able to cast a Widened Enlarged Storm of Vengeance from nearly a mile away appealed to me (there's also just something wrong about Maximized Elemental Swarm too...)

Okay. Sorry I wasn't able to reply to anything yesterday... I was acting as an election official in Maryland. I'm back now though, but it'll take me a bit to make sure everything posted here is okay.

As for equipment... check "Factor 13" in Upper Krust's list. Equipment modifies CR... so if you wish standard or PC equipment levels for your characters, you may have them, but this'll change the CR. Note that all these factors go into each individual's CR -FIRST-, then the squaring happens.

Checking your math now for the rest of what you have. Will edit this post when I'm done.

As for whether the game is still open to players: The answer is yes. Post your side and army, but please note, that each side must have equal members.
