Fourth Crusade Manpower Lottery

[Dirty Chai]

Especially since we have only one clear leader (and that's only because he's the only with a famous dynastic name), I was thinking we should simply randomly allot the crusader numbers among the characters participating in the battle.

I feel this is the most currently fair way to hand out power.
*I will not enter characters that have not been RP'd yet, however.

Eligible Characters
Arvid Eriksson
Philippe d'Alençon
Bohemond de Lusignan
Cristoforo Soranzo
Simon de Provence
Roger de Rochechouart
Tancred Mortimer
Father Jacopo Orsini (only minimal)


Characters not eligible yet*
Simon di Napoli
Henry Neville
Gustav Horn
Folquet lo Vagador/de Tolosa

Others (unusual war leaders; not in lottery, by default)
Father Johannes
Serena d'Alençon

Characters opted out
Roland de Provence

Let me know if you want out or in.


NB: Soldiers a character leads here are not necessarily their own troops; they are simply crusaders that chose to follow that character for the crusade, or were ordered to follow that character. However, depending on RP and effort, the soldiers may become loyal followers.

[Celsius]

I'll stay in the lottery (Roger de Rochechouart)

[Gandalfus]

I'll like to be included

[Jokern]

Arvid Eriksson stays.

[Honors Bastion]

Simon de Provence will stay in the lottery.

[Adamat]

Count me in

[Ganbarenippon]

Please take Roland de Provence out of the lottery. He is very much a follower of his cousin at this stage of his development.

[Ganbarenippon]

Also, I don't mind if Jacopo Orsini somehow found his way to having a few men!

Do not complain about this. Everyone could have played powerful characters, but chose not to.

Poach is helping us with unit stats, costs and upkeep. So a draft will be sent sometime soon and will be reviewed by the mods before posting.

[Jokern]

Damn, I got a lot of men. Nice

[Adamat]

Are my 'venetian' crossbowmen the light or medium ones?

[Celsius]

It says light, so I suppose they're light.

[Honors Bastion]

Cool. I didn't expect to get command over so many men.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Are my 'venetian' crossbowmen the light or medium ones?

Light I believe.

[Adamat]

I was confused because BF didn't just say Venetian but 'Venetian'

[Lucius Malfoy]

Confused me as well, but lets just go with the light for now. Unless BF says otherwise.

[Dirty Chai]

I meant it to be the medium Frankish crossbowmen, but renamed to Venetian. Should have said "Medium 'Venetian.'"

[Adamat]

Cool.
