Official ish war WAR draft

[DatDudeD]

I was watching the History channel today and the episode was focusing on the roman armies. I figured i would start a draft on here with each person picking a pre- gun powder army from history and picking one leader to lead the army. i will take any suggestions to how many rounds it should be and any other additions that i could add. There are gonna be a even 8 contestants we will go round by round with some with matchups being NBA style 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 etc...... I was thinking we might need judges to declare the winners of each matchup maybe 2 judges. We pick armies first and then leaders second. let me know if you guys have any feedback on any changes that can be made.

Its a draft.
Its history based.

Thus I am in.

[Rizko]

Word. Imma go Mongolia up in this *****.

[vapid]

So we're supposed to be picking multiple different units to consist of one army? So I would draft Roman Legions round 1 and Teutonic Knights Round 2 and so on?

[vapid]

You should at least state the location where the armies would meet beforehand, or somehow incorporate the location into the draft.

ok so maybe i should add a 2nd round for drafting armies sounds good to me, so now there will be 2 rounds for drafting armies and 1 for drafting a general i.e leader. remember it has to be pre-gun powder.

[Rizko]

There are 8 rounds for choosing the army, but do we have 8 rounds for leaders? Or are we just piking one general to lead the whole army?

Edit: 2 rounds for army and 1 for general? Pretty quick draft...

hmmmmm..... what would be some suggestions for a ideal place where both armies would have a equal advantage ?

[rezznor]

i'm picking Protoss

The most fair place would be an open grass field, though that slightly favors more Cavalry based armies.

i only said that because i dont know how extensive everyones history is but i guess we could add maybe 2 more rounds i dont wanna have to many rounds we might run into conflicts or run out of armies. yeah only one leader for the whole army.

are u in rezznor ?

sounds good to me....so a open grass field will be the setting

[vapid]

2 rounds is... not very much, you would have a lot of armies that would just be terrible matchups against each other because they aren't well rounded enough.
