Election: Supreme Military Commander

MrWhereItsAt · August 29, 2003, 11:50

The Great Vikings of Apolyton have risen from their lands with the desire for plunder in their hearts, the urge for combat in their minds and bloodlust running within their, er, blood.

A Supreme Military Commander is needed who will direct these great forces to benefit all Berzerkers!

The Supreme Military Commander is responsible for directing troop movements, including all units except settlers and workers, and planning military maneouvres against other civilisations.

Candidates:

BigFree
Torkkeli

Let these two worthy warriors battle it out for control of our battle-scarred army!

5 Day poll.

Rhothaerill · August 29, 2003, 12:04

I know BigFree can do the job, but part of MrWIA's post earlier was to get more people involved who haven't been as involved before so...Torkkeli.

Torkkeli · August 29, 2003, 12:13

Let the campainging begin!

A little background about me:

I've played the Civ series games since 1994, so played all of the games.
However I do not think me as a good player, never got above prince in Civ 2 and currently playing Regent level.

More detailed version to be published Monday...
Will be out this weekend, so I'll answer the questions on Monday.

As I stated in the nomination thread I probably wont be able to attend many, if any, turnchats. But I'm willing to make very detailed orders.

Then the campaing:

We need more military!
Currently we have 1 military unit, the scout. This has to change!
My proposal to the Domestic Minister is that we should recruit a warrior force from our city and station it to protect the city. After that we need more scouts to see what kind of terrain is near us.

So what to do with the scout?
General order would be that explore W and then S always when possible ending turn on higher ground.
The first move would be W,W. This move would allow us to decide where to build our capitol. If there is more bonus grasslands under the fog I think we should build our capitol on top of the bonus grassland West of our starting location.

This is Torkkeli, going on a refersing weekend in the countryside.

I liked your post so I voted for you.

Tassadar500 · August 29, 2003, 13:36

BF any reasons why you could be the best SMC?

GodKing · August 29, 2003, 14:27

Torkkeli - because I want BF to focus on helping to destroy those heritics from ND and GoW

BigFree · August 29, 2003, 17:15

I've played Civ for too long now to recall. If I added up the hours I've spent either playing or researching the game....I'd probably be locked up.

I usually play at Emperor, though I do dabble at Deity.

I'm currently pretty busy with the ISDG (Consul) and keeping tabs on GoW/ND in the PTWDG. But I feel like I would have enough time to serve a term or two in this game. I like playing as the Vikes, just ask MZ, Togas or WB.

Playing against the AI, we will rarely see any surprises. In the begining of this game, getting to as many Goody Huts as possible will be an early goal as well as scouting out future city locations; luckily those two things usually coincide with each other.

Plans for the path of our scout is pretty simple; you make the first move to a tile that allows a second move, then you make the second move to allow yourself another first move to a tile that then again allows a second move. If possible, you end the scouts movements on terrain that allows for greatest visability while keeping him away from ending turns that may have a barb encampment in the tiles next to him.

If there's a path around the lake towards the Spanish, a nice little Archer rush should be in our plans for them soon.

Good enough reason to vote for BigFree. Besides now BF gets to have fun destroying the Spanish. I don't want to hog all of it in the PTWDG.

See, that was funny and not insulting at all. Perfectly good jab.

Your just being nice because I voted for you.

MrWhereItsAt · August 30, 2003, 08:05

Ah, but he already has your vote that you can't really retract, so there's no need to be nice anymore.

Rhothaerill · August 30, 2003, 16:06

Big Free and Ghengis are being nice to each other.

The world IS coming to an end.

Tassadar500 · August 30, 2003, 16:13

Darn pressed the vote button to quickly. Could you add one vote to Torkkeli and subtract one from BigFree?

Panag · August 31, 2003, 13:30

hi ,

let the new blood lead the way

have a nice day

ormuzd · August 31, 2003, 15:37

I have voted for Torkkeli too. The newbies should support each other

Torkkeli · September 1, 2003, 10:16

Thanks guys.

This seems to be a close one.

Hopefully we don't have to have a recount and recounts recount.

Nuclear Winter · September 1, 2003, 13:41

My vote is to BigFree

Aro · September 2, 2003, 00:44

A close race, indeed. Great candidates...
But I have to make a decision.
BigFree.

Master Zen · September 2, 2003, 02:18

BigFree and the vikings... brings me not too fond memories

(ok, FYI he kicked my arse in a PBEM with them, oh well, I was Korea and had much crappier land, how's that for excuses!!)

so, just because of that I vote for him

joncnunn · September 2, 2003, 11:27

Voting for Bigfree and Archer Rushing Spainish.

MrWhereItsAt · September 4, 2003, 07:04

An exciting election and a good battle between two worthy Warriors! Well done BF, may your axe strike true and never dull. Torkkeli - it was a good race, and you came but a few votes from the job. I am certain you will be the one to take over from BigFree once our army has grown from a few volunteers to an organised fighting force ready to survey the land and lay waste to all those in our path.

Torkkeli · September 4, 2003, 09:24

Hail the new SMC!

No doubt you'll do at least as good as I would have done.

BigFree · September 5, 2003, 03:22

Just kidding guys. Lets go kick some arse!
