*falls to his knees in worship* You... are... godly!

[Shenron]

I really wish he had chosen something else.

The "Hossenfefferia" comment in Sanguis Astroism was pretty funny, though. :P

You should make a middle-eastern setting realm called Indirikistan.

[Vellos]

SF are not designed to form the bulk of your force, but when used in a properly balanced army they can make a significant difference. The range 5 SF in particular can be devastating.

They're also good for traveling far afield. It seems to me that SF usually don't suffer as severe morale penalties abroad: I've been marching around far outside my realm in FEI for about 2 weeks now, and still at 100% morale.

[Indirik]

I'm not a huge fan of Special Forces.  They make great "ego" units, but they cost a HUGE pile of gold to recruit and maintain.

Yeah, what of it? What else am I supposed to do with all the gold my character makes? I pass out gold by the hundreds to anyone that asks, and still have craploads left over.

Although, I did dump my SF unit to recruit 100 R4 archers to better fight monsters.

But if we had ranged SF, I'd totally recruit the biggest unit I could get. 8)

Back when I founded Astrum, Deverka Cryfdwr, the ruler of Morek, suggested that a possible name for the new realm could be "Indirikia". He seemed to think that I should name it after my family. I respectfully declined. In fact, I didn't even go for rulership. And I didn't even name the realm, either. :P

[Geronus]

Do we ever need ranged SF. We have more melee SF than you can shake a fist at, but not a single ranged SF recruitment center. And the worst part? Our melee SF aren't even that good...

[Bedwyr]

Really?

I'm very curious about that.

Could you link to examples?

Page 155 and page 27 list two examples.  Khusrau's Better than Antioch, and Shapur's Better than Antioch, specifically.

[Vellos]

That.... is awesome.

[Bedwyr]

That.... is awesome.

I quite liked it, yes.  Granted, Antioch wasn't a country, but I figure setting up a puppet satrapy/province is about as close as you can get in real-world terms.

[Darksun]

Oooo, if we're boasting, Kindara just scored these:

"The academy can now offer special forces from your region to nobles of the realm.
They will have a training of 95 %. Weapons quality is 100 % and armour quality is 85 %."

And Nifelhold just scored:
Spire Guardians   Special Forces   70   90 / 100

One has to wonder if the random functions are having some issues.

Probably getting rid of the 4000 gold from the extra ruler taxes.

[BardicNerd]

No, I'm still holding on to that.  I've offered to give gold to people if they want it for improving our military, but no one's asked.  I currently have . . . 8752 gold and bonds on hand.  And I don't think much of that was actual extra from the bug.


Libero just has a lot more gold than nobles.  People should come join us and get gold.

[Vaylon Kenadell]

Hang onto it. I predict you'll need that -- and more -- pretty soon.

[BardicNerd]

Heh.  Indeed.


And if not, that's one monster tournament I can host.
