Warlords and Combat Change

[Louis]

give some suggestions then cuz up till now warlords were neither this nor that. they weren't haters of magic but they shunned the use of magic.. while holding hands with magic users and skipping around dueling people.

legions isnt a totally original idea neither (total domination.. sauron of lord of the rings, the emperor of star wars, and agent smith of matrix come to mind)...

I think legion is fine, a total domination cabal has always been prevalent in any game. It is how legion does it that can be disguished. Secrecy is out because we have assassins. Through political power is out because again CF has empire that has the same premise. I believe the original legion idea was total destruction and domination. Thats why in the Nadoshi era, I always got them to raid every cabal and take every other cabal's item. Holding every cabals item to me showed total domination. Thats why I would prefer instead of getting gimped, I would make a player even strong while holding an item and multiplied by as many items as he is holding. Make the other cabals gang up on him. Back to warlords, my idea was always that warlords shunned magic and believed that combat skill was greater than magic. By the fact that they tank for magic users while ranking shows that they are stronger. Intead of making them unable to tank for magic users, I think they should instead be leaders of each group and do not allow for any magic incantations. This would allow them to rank with magic users but i doubt magic users will want to group with them. Ranking with an Ill that cant grant haste, ranking with an invoker that cant hellstream or sanc, ranking with a shaman that cant cure or sanc, ranking with a healer to the same effect, means ranking with warlords pretty crappy unless there are two of them.

More wars! More warlords with flails and whips ganging Justices, Legion's, and Knights, more more more killing! Sort through the bodies after the swords have fallen! If cabals weren't so anal these days perhaps we would have more people get into a cabal and stick around to play their character? I see very little people around all the time that actually play their caballed character, because if you even step out of line a millimeter you get canned, per say. Justices, if you make a simple human error, or a mistake, you get canned immediately. Some of the best Justices got kicked out for retarded reasons. As for warlords and no ranking with magic users...I am very indifferent, I think it is on the verge of brilliance and stupidity all at once. You preach go against magic, go against magic, no magic in parties, then you befriend mages on the game. Sethronu, why you ever let Chalktala as warmaster is beyond me, he isn't good at all, and how suddenly does he become this "poster warlord" that all others should model, simply because he was put in warmaster position because he was around more then others? My experience with him, he was a damn coward. Then again, warlords is just your "Would you like to fight?" "No thanks." "Ok, see you later" and that is the just of it. Perhaps the change will make them more significant in the mud..we'll see. I sway the way the it sways I suppose. If it doesn't work, oh well, if it does, oh well. No skin off my teeth.

Oh yeah, that also means, no asking mages to locate ANYTHING, if they wish to see if something's in they have to do some foot patrol. I see they are supposed to be a self sufficient cabal and now they have to become one.

This change should have happened earlier when I was trying to organize my legion v justice war. And YES, it was a LEGION vs JUSTICE war, not KNIGHT vs JUSTICE. Why the hell does everyone think it was knights??? Blah!

[Louis]

because ssrthak, in his note, said "I declare war on Justice" hahaha

btw yeah, warlords have been asking mages to locate them stuff which is contrary to the cabal's beliefs. i mean i thought that was just common sense, but i guess not. anyway that stuff is always being noticed by the imms so no one's really getting away with it.. but its easier now that its just a cabal rule.

They already tried doing that 'no using eq with a magical flag' thing back when Redallion was around I think. It sucked.

I don't know about that Vertas,Thamivon seems to hae disappeared recently, Vhrael the invoker has been on recently alot, He is actually a decent [JUSTICE], Thamivon is my personal favorite though.

[b00mslang]

Vhrael the invoker got injured to death by an illithid psi...literally.

Not to mention the psi was wanted and was running hunting him along the battlements.
