[QUOTE="Maldur, post: 323749, member: 1357"] im so sorry, but I goofed up. I said I would make a writeup for the ogre-military academy in the stronghold. I did start it but after doing something really stupid with my computer, It dissapeared. Ill hope Ill find the time to rewrite it, but I did lose some other , more important, files as well so they take a higher priority. The basic idea was this: After reading SHARKs article on his version of the ogre and watching enemy at the gate, I came up with a academy of ogres being trained in breaking sieges and opening up breaches in fortifications. They have a small , old, caslte several miles west of the main hold where they live and practise their combat skills. To train and control these ogres they have a cadre of human(oid) trainers. basically these trainers are commisars, using retoric and propaganda to brainwash the ogres into excelling in the crafts of the siege. So basically the academy provides a group ( 2500+ ) ogres fanaticaly loyal to the overlord, surrounded by these "drillsergeants" from hell. These cadets can be used to hold or storm fortifications in the warzone. Are fanaticaly loyal, so will fight to the death. Controlled by strategicaly and tacticaly sound "advisors". No much in a strait fight with the legions, but when able to defend a cliff, or open the gates of a legionbase ( and I presume valadarions do make those at the end of the day). The y could be usefull. And I just love the images they create:D So once again sorry, and I hope I can salvage a more eleborate story, but I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
