What Empire?

Good ol' Crazymike and Privatemonkey...

I can't remember which one (I believe it was Private?), but one of them made a huge deal over PS not having a sphere of influence, and not being able to capture islands from a strategical standpoint... I guess the dev's where listening, because lo and behold! we have them now!

Man, this game is gonna be sooooo awesome! I can hardly contain my liquids.

I'll be the guy in the Heavy Armor blowing things up, which I'm sure will on more then one occasion include blowing myself up.

i'll Help , just have to give me time to figure the game out

[Zarparchior]

I figure I'll do a little bit of everything... or whatever interests me at least. Commanding sounds coo, but difficult. If I do end up being some huge tactical leader, though, I would probably want to be 3rd down the importance rank. You may ask why being the 3rd most legendary leader would be better than being 1st or 2nd?... Well, I say this: Because being 1st makes you a HUGE target! If you're that high in rank, then either you've been around for a long ass time and know your stuff or... you "gimped" your character with CEP.

And as much as the wannabe commanders would love to focus on CEP, that'll deprive them of the also much needed BEP which will in turn force them to either stay behind while their Outfit takes a base or die early on in the battle, due to their less then impressive combat skills and/or lack of BEP. Or at least that's how I see it...

Also, I do see one huge problem with the CEP concept in general. So, I give this message to all future commanders. Sure, you may have a high rank, feel beefy, and actually be smart enough to lead people... but will they actually follow your crazy crusade when you say we've waited long enough and that now is the time to strike the evil forces that have occupied your former territory, taking back what's rightfully ours? Will they rally to your call? Will they raise their eyebrows in disbelief? Or will they just drop to the floor, laughing their asses off at what a complete moron you are? I think we all know answer:

Well if it's Yasser Arafat and he wants me to attack a Bus with Dynamite straped to my chest I'll be doing the part fopr sure

[Manitou]

A true leader will instill his vision or goal in a way that the people around him view it as their goal also. Once this is achieved, they will follow their/his goal to the death.

MANITOU FOR LEADER!!!

[Zarparchior]

How would you do that if you're surrounded by slackers?

"And so, we must make a sneak attack on the enemy and use surprise to compensate for our small numbers."

*mutters of how diccicult it is to stay hidden*

"Alright then... we can make a series of hit and run tactics instead, and then-"

*groans about how running around that much is more work than its worth*

"FINE! How about we wait here for them to come to us so we can have a quick trip back to our spawn point?!"

*murmurs and nods of agreement*

"...I quit."

"But Sir, their shooting at people over there."

[Zarparchior]

Exactly.
