LINESII- Into the Darkness

[Silver Steak]

Phalanx is the way to go, Chippy. Need assistance?

 

[Swissempire]

Arrows have little effect. Ramids are thick-skinned.

I was kidding. What if it was a REALLY big arrow?

 

[Silver Steak]

Dude! Spears! They go through Ramid hide like a needle through jelly. Which brings me to...

*SCHLUNCK!*

How does my new bronze spears taste in your guts? Huh? You like it? Do you like the pain?! HUH?!

EDIT: (well, technically, I don't have them yet, but I will after I get them from Gorin this turn. So there!)

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Pikes are the most efficient anti-Ramid weapons.

 

[Swissempire]

The Blademaster uses your bronze spears as toothpicks!

 

[Silver Steak]

Spears, pikes, whatever. My Phalanx kick Ramid ass and we all know it. They're the best thing for that sort at this point anyway.

EDIT: No! The Red Lady rules supreme! Your pathetic Blademaster pales in comparison! (here I go again, picking on your culturally backward nation )

big, angry ramid swings his head and crushes this defiant pike-guy with his 3m long tusk. Few minutes afterwards it calmly walks away while not-anymore-so-defiant pike guy lies under 50kg heap of ramid-poo.

 

[Swissempire]

She won't after my next project is built

 

[Kentharu]

swiss, hush, dont make me get out my moose and ride over there CAUSE I WILL!!

ya know, I could easily destroy your phalanxes with ramids, only if SOMEONE would bother reading my tactics before writing update *glares at certain penguin*

 

[Swissempire]

My Enlightened Swordsman could take out your Moose and your Ramid. He would do a flip, land on top, slice off the riders head, wing the Ramid into the moose, Skewer it, and ride it off a cliff, backfliping at the last moment to land back of the cliff. He would then kneel and pray.

And i have 2000 of those babies!

(I was talking about the Rhino Ramids. The hugies would kill me flat)

So far, I understood that Ramids are rhinos with several additional tusks, and at the size of an elephant. I would like to see how your swordsmen would jump to 2 metres and then still be able to swing his sword...

 

[Silver Steak]

There are two breeds, actually. The Nurmaferian one (which is huge and a veritable killing machine) and the southern barbarian one (which is not so huge but still plenty deadly)

 

[Lord_Iggy]

They have two tusks under the jaw, two on the sides, two on the cheekbones and three in a row on the tip of the nose, half way to the eyes, and just above the eye.

There is sometimes variation between breeds of Ramid. But that's the most common locations.

 

[Silver Steak]

Do you have an illustration? Since you are so specific...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I'm bad at computer illustrations. I'll try something, or maybe scan my concept sketch.

 

[Silver Steak]

Military
It can cost significant amounts of money to occupy a nation. Be prepared to take an economic hit to occupy an enemy nation.

I just noticed this. Have you applied it to the Numaferi-Khemrian war?

he didn't?

 

[Silver Steak]

I don't think so. It's an easy thing to overlook. It's just so bad to have it in the rules if it doesn't see any use. And I think it should, anyway.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

That one was one of the rules I made then kinda ignored. But it is undeniable that Khemri and Nurmafer are taking economic hits.

To be honest, that rule's not going to become too serious until we reach more modern ages, where there are moral standards about how occupied people are to be treated.
