First, welcome to Dante. I fully plan on winning Conquest, and I hope the rest of you do as well. Let me be the first to say this: no one will be left behind or left out. For example, Dante controlling half the map means that every single person, from Commander to Soldier, is responsible for both the responsibilities and the benefits of holding that land. KV and I will share with every member in the benefits of our army's success, so don't bother trying to suck up or anything. You'll get the same benefits as any other member.
Also, don't think twice about betraying Dante. Leaking valuable information, no matter how small, will result in immediate death. Questioning authority will also not be tolerated. The people who will be in charge will be in charge for a reason, so trust their leadership, regardless of what you think or how you feel. If worse comes to worst, bring an issue to King Vegeta or myself and the matter will be dealt with accordingly.
That being said, the army is being divided into three units. Two of the units will be led by King Vegeta and I. The third unit will be led by an NPC general so that we can effectively keep control over that third unit. The purpose of the first two units will be to capture enemy territory and directly assault either Syntech or Outcasts. The third unit, led by the NPC, will simply capture neutral territory, erect buildings in already possessed lands, and will guard the castle if need be.
By leading the two units, the roles of the Commander position and the General position are being ideally combined. We will still be the Commanders, but King Vegeta and I will serve as the Generals as well. Those who normally would be Generals are being ranked as Lieutenants and are effectively second in command.
Currently, we have two lieutenants selected, who will choose to accept the positions if they so desire. They are:
Minoshia
Reijin
The rank of Captains will also exist. A Captain will control a small squad of soldiers within a unit. Captains answer to both Lieutenants and Generals/Commanders. Currently, we have no Captains selected. Ideally, draftees will begin at the Soldier level, and then we may promote you to the Captain level if you prove yourself to be active, intelligent, and loyal. Note that Captains will never have playable Soldiers in their squads, only NPCs. Again, allow me to stress that Lieutenants and above will be issuing the orders, not the Captains. Captains merely give authority to someone in a particular squad.
With that covered, let's move on to strategy. We are currently allied with Bardock, who leads the United force. United is in the southwest corner of the map, the red territory. The third unit will capture the neutral territory between us and United, whereas the remaining two units, combined with Bardock's forces, will push to attack the territory northern us. We'll be capturing neutral territory on the way. Ideally, we want to capture as much territory as early as possible. It's much easier to mass-capture land in the beginning and defend it as Conquest goes on rather than to wait till a significant time passes before attempting to capture territory.
It's up to you guys as to which unit you want to join. KV and I aren't going to make people join a unit they don't want to. Options include any of the three units, as well as possibly leading scouts on reconnaissance or assassins on missions of that type. Basically, once all the draftees are here, I'll make a thread with the possible groups to join, and each draftee will post with who they want to join as well as a reason for it.
I think that about sums it up. Reply with any questions you have, as I'm sure I've forgotten something.
