Tournament of the Mercenary General (Saturday, December 8)
"The true test of a leader is whether his followers will adhere to his cause from their own volition, enduring the most arduous hardships without being forced to do so, and remaining steadfast in the moments of greatest peril." - XENOPHON
The theme for this tournament is the Mercenary General. Basically, you're poor, and you need work. You want to find work, but your only skill is leading hundreds of soldiers into battle. So what do you do? You go to another tribe, city-state, empire, etc to find work as a mercenary general! All hail the mercenary general!
Before applying as a Mercenary General in this Tournament, however, there are several restrictions on factions:
- you can only have 2 chariots in your army (this only affects Britons, Egyptians, Pontics and Seleucids)
- you can only name 1 Roman faction under factions you WOULD and WOULD NOT like to command
- once I assign you your faction, you're stuck with that faction throughout the tournament
- regardless of what you apply for, you are guaranteed nothing! The mercenary general can't be picky!
MERCENARY GENERAL APPLICATION (must be completed by all Tourney participents)
