Insanowar 3: Mud Fight!

[Selrahc]

Well, if they're the slow, shambling firewood kind, probably around 200 would be right.

These guys are *worse* than an unarmed civilian non combatant. I'd say 600 or so wouldn't cause too big a hassle. They can't break the gates, they can't kill the big things, and anyone who can run can get away from them.

Although I don't think there would be that big a difference in the narrative between 100 and 1000.

Also, Fin I'd reconsider taking Zombies at all, since one of your enemies has already picked a powerful croka(necro)mancer, and it seems to just be asking for trouble.

[Reinholdt]

Awww gee. I don't know.
Selrahc's right though. It probably won't matter in terms of narration. They'll get shredded by some sort of area attack as they spend a day trying to cross the field, no doubt.

I'm going to compromise and say 352.7 zombies.

[Fin]

I'm going to compromise and say 352.7 zombies.

Cool, I like that figure. But be warned that 0.7 of a zombie (missing leg?) is gonna survive dammit!

[Mordokai]

My turn, I think.

Korgoth of Barbaria. Look it up on youtube, I'm not pasting links since I'm pretty sure it's again forum policy.
100(?) Cannon Fodder soldiers. Too many? Too little, if anything. Anybody playing the games knows these guys are pushover. One shot and they are dead.
Lets see, lets seee... Alma, from F.E.A.R.

[Recaiden]

I'm pretty sure Rutskarn said we are part of our own army, as the leader who is not on the battle field. I suppose he could be working part time in another army. Or maybe it's a parallel Mordokai.

[Reinholdt]

I'm going to leave that one up to Mordokai. If it needs to be changed, Nil gets a re-pick later. Feel free to continue in the meantime.

[Recaiden]

Picks
Scrin Eradicator Hexapod
Scrin Mastermind
Cliff Racers
Orihime Inoue

My 7th pick is a Scrin Eradicator Hexapod Command & Conquer. Very large 6 legged cybernetic mech. Attacks with plasma disk cannons, can assimilate other scrin and take their abilities.

My 8th pick is a Scrin Mastermind from Command & Conquer. Special unit that can mind control a single enemy or group, such as a tank crew. It has to maintain control and loses it if killed. The control needs line of sight at a short range to establish, but can be maintained over distance. It can also teleport itself and can teleport other units 1 way. It is armed with an anti-infantry disintegrater weapon.

My 9th pick is a massive flock of cliff racers from The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. I'm not sure how many there should be. Cliff racers are the most hated monster of the game. They are a 4 winged legless pterosaur that attacks with a clublike tail. They are notable for seeming to always take at least 2 attacks to kill, no matter how strong you seem to be, although theoretically they could be killed with one shot. On the other hand, a level 1 average person has a decent chance of killing one. 150?

My final pick is Orihime Inoue from Bleach. Her powers are based in 6 fairy-like creatures that are her hairclips. She can heal, put up a very string shield, and split things in half, but dislikes fighting and is very reluctant to attack. Due to the very strong levels which her healing powers get to further in the series, (resurrection) I think she should be limited in using that, perhaps to just once, although it does take time to complete. She is very random and comes up with crazy ideas.

Picks
Scrin Eradicator Hexapod

o.O

And I thought my two Mammoths were iffy over in #2...

[Duos]

Damnit, I missed the sign up while I was away. Oh well. I'll just sign up for the next one. I have a team brewing that will be immediately destroyed because of how threatening it is.

[Recaiden]

Not having played the game, I have no idea how powerful it actually is.

Is a mechapede still too strong?
How many shard walkers is too many?
2 battlemechs?
1 Land-Air battlemech?
2 different Battlemechs?

Maybe I'm underestimating mechs cause I used the Aquila stupidly in Insanowar I and it died on the first round of fighting.

Lelouch Lamperouge?
Bodhi?
A vampiric tree-squid?
Kineticlops?
Shirayuki Mizore?
That one guy with psychic powers?

[Darkcomet]

Meh, you should be fine. Metal Gear friggin' Rex was accepted last time.

[Reinholdt]

I've never played Morrowind, so until someone who has comes in and says something, the cliff racer flock will be set at 150.

[Recaiden]

The best weapon against a cliff racer is numbers. They can be deadly when the greatly outnumber the opponent, but are not individually strong. (just individually annoying)

[Rutskarn]

Hm. On the one hand, 150 seems high just because Cliff Racers are so damn annoying to fight...but factoring in the use of ranged weapons, I suppose that's about right.

[Mordokai]

I'm going to leave that one up to Mordokai. If it needs to be changed, Nil gets a re-pick later. Feel free to continue in the meantime.

Whatever works. I'm fine with it.

And a little interested to see how Nil will handle me I just hope he doesn't consider me cannon fodder...

[Selrahc]

Meh, you should be fine. Metal Gear friggin' Rex was accepted last time.

A mech that can be killed by one man with an RPG launcher? What was the problem with that?

[Darkcomet]

You do have a point. If I recall, Rex was more useful dead than alive.

[Recaiden]

Hm. On the one hand, 150 seems high just because Cliff Racers are so damn annoying to fight...but factoring in the use of ranged weapons, I suppose that's about right.

That was my thought process.

On the suvject of the eradicator, the only thing I can think of that seems similar is a GIL-M with a ranged weapon, which is a horrifying and incredibly overpowered concept. Then again, it is supposed to be innacurate and vulnerable to air.

[Darkcomet]

*looks around*

Do you guys mind if I stash my tanks in here? Everyone in #2 wants to steal them...

[Recaiden]

Sure Bring them right in.

[Darkcomet]

I'm leaving now.

*leaves with tanks*

[billtodamax]

*Puts on fake mustache*
e-hem. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be safe here.

[Recaiden]

I'm sure one of Fin's last picks can steal protect your tanks. No need to run.

[Fin]

Cool, last four choices!

6. One Aussie Rules Football Team - Basically the meanest game in the world!

7. Belkar Bitterleaf - Provided he isn't too awesome!

8. Jarlaxle - Of Forgotten Realms fame, with his usual supply of tricks!

9. I have nothing really big yet, so I'm gonna go with 30 Gremlins.

10. Hmm, choice number 10 should be super epic awesome win sooo... Cake! - More specifically the Cake from the end of the closing credits of the game Portals.

[Recaiden]

He left Belkar out of his army list. That might just be a mistake.

[billtodamax]

Hey, AFL isn't the meanest game in the world! I'd say rugby. It's like american football without padding.
