@Kingrimm: I like what you wrote, but do you not believe it could be combined with the unit I wrote? Marching in formation is still key I believe.
...

Yes. I believe that training and understanding the game mechanics is key. The less commands you have to give the better.
For that you need to define a clear catalog of behaviour(not sure if thats the correct expression), things that needs to be trained so that later when the situation comes "no words have to be exchanged"!

And yes the unit behaviour "move as one" of you would be one of the fundamentals. As it should be that we choose smallest entities of the unit who always work/train together "pikeman and bowman", "shielder and 2hander", "hybrid and ..."
so those really are in the mind of each other.

The commands were thought for for bigger entities groups of 20+ players.

[Tristan]

As soon as we know how many people we have, it is easier to assign troop type, but does people generally agree that we go towards the
1h/polearm hybrid, the 2h crusher and a few pike support?

Suggestion for the 1h/polearm hybrid:

21/15. 7if, 7ps, 5wm, 5ath and 5 shield. 120 1h and 102 polearm. Frontline troops

Dunno the best build for the 2h crusher or the pikeman. Suggestions?

Generally it seems it would be a good idea to have a char for the 1h/p hybrid. I believe we need quite a few of those.

[Casimir]

21/5 with 7WM and 7IF with 0PS?

[Tristan]

21/5 with 7WM and 7IF with 0PS?

  yeah ok, serious brainfart.

[Tristan]

I'd like clan leader to ask each player to sign up individually.
I need to have a pretty precise roster.

[Varyag]

in this instance won't it be hard to keep up with the team?

I dunno man, you tell me if you want a decent xbowman or not... IF not, I can play shielder alt. Xbow may be slow, but very powerful. TBH, if you want my opinion on how to win any battle in crpg, its really simple: you all should go arbalester builds, and I've seen what 10 well coordinated arbalesters can do. Win most rounds...

[Chasey]

sign me up sounds fun

[kinngrimm]

what ever builds we use, to walk in a group we should agree on same athletics or at least a minimum athletics
suggesting minimum 6, personal i prefer 8


1h/sh/pole hybrid

high shield skill
high athletics
high wpm

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)
    Strength: 12
    Agility: 24

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 1
    Power Strike: 4
    Shield: 8
    Athletics: 8
    Weapon Master: 8

    One Handed: 151
    Polearm: 107

[Tristan]

@Kingrimm: 6 is to much.... 5.... Seriously. 6 requires 18 agi. Don't think that useful.

@Varyag: I do not deny the power of Arbalest nor Xbows. Mostly use of them in formation? You are probably able to enlighten me on that subject.

updated roster.

Count me out.

[Tristan]

Count me out.

?

Just to argue why 6 is not needed. The formation will never be walking with that speed anyway. Ath 4-5 will be more than sufficient imo.

[Bulzur]

If there's shielders, with 6-7 shield skill, they already have the 18-21 agility.
Making it "only" 5, just for the others is... a shame, since shielders will walk with their shield up, so slower, whereas pikeman and 2hander can walk at their fastest speed, so they need less.
Pikeman and 2h with 4-5 athletics is fine.
Shielders should definitely have at least 6 athletics, 7 better imo.

[Bjord]

I doubt you'd approve me, Aemaelius. 

Anyhow, if I ever return I wouldn't mind taking part of this.

Also, could help with your Universal Tactical Guide book too. 

[Tristan]

Interesting. More opinions on builds for the unit?
We're still looking at three builds right?

@Bjord: Why should I not accept you. As long as people don't troll the shit out of the project every one is welcome.
