When the gladiators escape/survive, will they be on their own? Or will they be able to call for backup? Or even ally with each other?

You can team up or declare support for who ever you like, be it Immortals or Elmagnifico's Gamma Corps or each other, and change sides or do whatever you like for as long as you survive. But beware, you will only start with access to close combat weapons and will have to face the person responsible for keeping you all in line, the great and never defeated Stubacus, the Master Gladiator.

@Elmagnifico: Very pleased to hear you approve, sorry about the damn wait. I think I'm Lego Poncing too much. Note to self: Simplify!
Och, I met Sean the other day, nice fella' he's hanging out back... by his intestines, would you like to speak to him before I set the dogs on him?

Nah, he's a real jerk, comes from his mother's side of the family. I don't know how dear Uncle Roy puts up with that woman...

Sean's sister is probably skulking about though, so make sure the pups don't fill up on my potato-brain of a half-cousin...

Oh, haha, THAT was FEMALE? Ah, that explains a lot. I thought it odd her pants exploding into flames when she saw me, I'm so relieved to hear she was female because I couldn't tell. To be honest for a second I thought my Mojo had fluxed and gone Justin Bieber Dapper or something. Thanks Elmagnifico!

You're gonna need a lot of troops to take that down, Warhead!

If her pants exploded in flames, it was probably 'cos your head was too close

By the way, I'm not sure if Sloopofwar is so happy getting the Blokbots every time

(though in this case I'm pretty sure he'll be quite happy with it)

If you did, I would play. If you have too many people on hand already though, totally understandable.

Thanks, and yeah no problem OneEye. You'll get a chance to sign up nearer the time. As will the rest of you too, obviously. When I do ask for sign ups I may need some people to post how their armies look, I'm not digging about for stuff too much. Also, as always mini-figs are subject to available parts etc, etc blah, blah. There will even be some special mini-figs that people can take if they don't want to or don't have a faction to play their own guys.

Warhead, is it okay that when the immortals breach the wall, that my gladiator contacts his people, allying them to the Immortals? It is just like as the aliens in Toy story 2 state, "You have saved our lives, we are eternally greatful.", and it help to show why my faction is allied during the war. That is, however, if you let me have a gladiator at all.

Maybe, but I doubt you can get the attackers to stop killing long enough to try, or survive long enough for the heat of battle to cool. The thing is; by Order of the High Lord Warhead the attack is a Black Flag Assault (ok, so historically it's a tent or ger not a flag but flags are cool too), in the traditions of the great tactician Genghis Khan there is to be NO QUARTER!

The Art of the Mongol Siege Tactics and Methodology in Mongol Warfare wrote:The Mongols hoped that one fortificationâ€™s utter destruction would influence the next into a timely and compliant surrender. But in order to conquer cities without siege, they needed to establish what was at stake for those inside if they did resist

Besides, your Empire has already been contacted covertly and signed up in alliance which was accepted in another thread. The fate of one soldier is nothing to a Star Nation, yours or ours.

UPDATE ON FRONT PAGE, I EVEN CLEANED UP SOME OF THE LEGO.

For those about to die!.. Mwah-hahahahaha!

Gladiators Ready!

Closer view. Just an idea of what to expect.

... and that's why you'll never be as awesome as Warhead.

Conquering such fortifications is not easy but since you are devoting so much time to build the wall, palace and everything you seem to expect that the thick of the battle will be taking place within and behind the walls. Which in turn makes me wonder what kind of force the Immortals will be fielding here with an estimated breach of the walls in turn one or two?

Post by **Zahru II** » Sat Dec 04, 2010 5:20 am

I'd laugh like a madman if Warhead would simply drop pod all his troops behind the wall.

[Whine]Steampunk gladiators are on their off day then?

...These new guys... (Circa PedoNuker: 1st appearance and subsequent Forum Death) is there some sort of whine like a bitch contest I don't know about?

No, not yet. I've still to bother.
