Melbourne Mew Mew Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Was going through some of my old stuff recently and found this. Thought it might be amusing to people here, and if there are any Warlord players who want to do a version, I'd love to see it. Irregular Knight Armies Compulsive, explosive, aggressive people who probably ate too much sugar-loaded breakfast cereal as children. Advice: Seek professional help soonest. Alternate type: Wimpy closet barbarian. Wears pocket protector, hip-slung calculator and thick glasses. Has Boris Vallejo posters in bedroom. Expresses twisted unsatisfied adolescent urges of various types through his forces. Advice: Past life therapy might help, apart from that you're on your own. Pike Armies Romantic intellectuals. The kind of people who know pi to the 14th digit but also like to watch those sappy MGM movies from the 1930s. These people chose their armies based on pure emotion but put a lot of thought into how they can actualy make these armies effective ("Maybe if I intersperse the Warband with the Bows and the Pikes on Tuesdays in an echelon formation with Light Horse screening and Psiloi on the flanks..."). Advice: Give up and get a real army. Roman armies Compulsive administrative types who get deeply emotionally wounded if their armies are not EXACTLY lined up right. These sad individuals are deeply troubled, having blown out over 70% of their brain cells trying to read primary authors in the original Latin. The Late Imperial Roman subtype is particularly well represented in federal prisons. Advice: Wait for the next DBM supplement and the Romans will get even better. Light Horse armies Fun-loving, totally irrational people. These are the kind of folks who tend to buy red sportscars and move to California when tey turn 40. Watch out for those using Irregular Knights (X), though, this is almost always indicative of deep self-hatred. Cavalry armies These people just can't make up their minds. Cavalry units are the closest thing to vanilla troops in the game and the players are similarly boring and colorles. Advice: Get a life. Bow armies Passive aggressive people - "We don't HAVE to be in contact, I can shoot you and you can't do anything about it". These are the kind of people who like to put that one unit in ambush and screw up all your carefully made plans and then sit there smugly smiling for the next three hours. Advice: Don't play against people substantially biger or better armed than you. Regular Knight armies These people are not too bright, but identify strongly with causes such as truth, justice and the American way (like Superman or a D&D Paladin). Advice: Stick with your army, it's easy to use. Elephant and other weird armies Misfits and class clowns. These people show up with Mound Builder or Siamese just to see what reaction they can get from other people. It goes without saying that these people are deeply sick. Advice: Heavy-duty couch time is needed. Warband armies Substantially intellectually challenged people who haven't read the rules. These people make your average Regular Knights player look like Stephen Hawking by comparison. Hellooooo??? Don't you know warband SUCK? Advice: Try checkers. Alternate type: Repressed suicidal. Vicariously lives out self-destructive (Thanatos) impulses through the game. Advice: Keep playing the game no matter what... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Elf Armies: see Bow armies, above. Depending on game system, the player may be a cross-dresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 DBx humor makes me giggle every time. Except I'm working on a pike army right now..... It's the renaissance, everyone was a pike army, though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Porsenna Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 My two favorite armies are HYW English (archer heavy) and HYW French (lots of knights), so I wonder what that says about me. My 3rd choice would of course be Late Medieval "One of each, please" German...I wonder what that says... Damon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you are sticking with a period, though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivrel Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Me since I'm a dwarf player probably the closest army choice I would come to is the irregular knight army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsumoto Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 iregular knights...dwarves... i can see the conection there, but the irreg keniggt's and dwarf Visuals fail to connect. How's this: Dwarves: hates seeing the same problem come up twice, takes it nice and slow unless they want the masserati out of the garage, fuzzy and loves it, social drunks... ???? yeah, someone should do one of these for warlord.... or fantasy in general.
