Alright, I got lots of whining from the big theme battle, so I'm going to take a break of those until I get back to my apartment (week or such). Turned out a lot of people weren't happy with the monks equip, but for some reason no one mentioned anything about it in the thread. However, I admit I bought too many sumpters D:

Anyway, this new theme battle will be a smaller one, with not as many tickets. Not as many people will be accepted as well. But please still vote. If you post here your favourite and your ingame nick, you have higher chances of getting into the battle! Theme suggestions are always welcome.

The options are:
Quote
1.*Robocop vs Criminals. (tin can with a sword vs looters)

2.*snowball fight! (stones only)"

3.*axe-throwers vs turtles!"

4.*Looneytoons axes vs daggers!"

5.*xbow tincans vs bowmen in tights!"

6.*The Battle of Thermopylae (bottleneck with 3 huscarl shielded "spartans" vs mobs of "persians")"

7.*Iceage Mammoth hunt (1 or 2 plated chargers with full plate riders with steel shields turtling vs naked natives with darts)"

8.*Ladderpult Arena Extreme!"

9.*XP pyramid king of the hill! (ladders making a pyramid, the players will climb up and try to be the king of the hill)"

10.*7 samurai! (samurai protect peasants from bandit horsemen)"

11.*Civilian Sawhouse! (take on an old quake map, a "flag" must be carried across a field by naked peasants, guarded by 2 tank cavalry)"

12.*DESTROY THE TEMPLE! (high priests must defend a massive siege shield/ladder temple)"

13.*Ogre vs angry mob! (torches and pitchforks!)

14.*Boxing match! (helmet, gauntlets and boots only!)

Like you can see, a lot of these battles require coordination, not mindless spamming. That's the reason behind this new organization. There will be a codeword as well, but I'll announce it later. The only way you get into the battle is that you put the right codeword into your comment part. I've had too many people who have no idea what's going on in the last 2 battles.

If you want to contribute, you can send money and troops to Jameyyed Castle (check spoiler to see where it is). Both will be greatly appreciated, and I give my word that they will be only used for the cause of theme battles. I won't use all on one big theme battle, I'll rather have many smaller battles so we get a variety of themes covered.

You can continue the discussion about this here. The next theme battle thread will be posted only in here.

Snowball fight is the best, we're in the right season for that.

Alright, the next two theme battles will be Mammoth Hunt and Snowball fight.

Snowball fight is a stones only throwing battle in icy landspace. This will be the first battle.

Mammoth Hunt is a quest to bring down a few plated chargers with riders (mammoths) only using throwing darts (spears would be too easy IMO). This will be the second battle. I'm looking for players who have experience riding these things for the mammoth side.

If no one objects, these battles will be on wednesday. Now we must decide the time to start the theme battle due, they're going to take two hours in total. The voting on the origanl thread indicates the battle will start at 21 GMT.

21 GMT + 22 GMT

Thank you.
(this seems most logical?)

You can transfer it straight to the Castle. It's my keep so I'll deposit my troops and gold in there anyway!

Instead of a sword, shouldn't robocop have an xbow since it's the closest thing to a gun?

My clan and I would be willing to host the next theme battle. I have a little over 500 troops and am trying to get my clanmates to get the basics of strategus.

Here is my idea:

Jedi Knights vs Sith Lords

Equip: Robes and 2 hand swords with throwing weapons (lightsabers and force throw). Probably black robes and hoods for siths and something else for knights. No archers 

I was also thinking it would be fun to have this on NA strategus (we are NA based)

Done, you are now 222222Gold and 55Troops richer ;)

One guy on the thread in old forums said he would bring me troops for a NA battle.

I am willing to organize an NA strat battle too, if you want to pool in troops & gold I can make a bigger one!

Definitely. I have like 500 troops and  some gold but I can save up for more. I don't imagine Jedi Knights v. Sith Lords would cost much though because it would just be robes, swords and throwing

I am looking for people with Riding 5+ to be Mammoths in the strategus theme battle. Please post here if you want to participate.

I'm also in dire need of people who can help me do another theme battle, since the other guy who was helping me do two theme battles has his char in another town. If I can't get anyone to help I can only do one theme battle tomorrow. So if you are near Jameyyed and want to help, post here.

You dont need riding skill in strategus to spawn on a horse, you need it only if you want to mount it again.

I know, but when you have high riding you can use your horse better.

PM'd you about it. Also check your steam.

Also, passwords for the battles.

Mammoth Hunt (Fallen Brigade vs MehMehkas): go cavemen go

Snowball fight (MRUD_IV vs Fallen Brigade): winter olympics

MehMehkas is the mammoth side, so people with high shield skill and/or high riding are most welcome.
