Hoping to have something up soon. Just waithing on Zac and Co.
I did say that I would get to it after I finished the Hawkeye (All-Star Marvel) and Iron Knight post (both of which are done). I will hopefully get something up in the next 12 or so hours (was going say by the end of the day, but that meaning varies depending on your location ).
Anyways, the last Lyger/Radiance post was put up 4 days ago and the last Raptor was 14 days ago, so I have quite some time on my hands.
@Dedonus Which would be the most inconvenient for her?
Either before or during (I have been think about how these would play out over the last couple days and I thought either one would be good). Either way, she still needs to go to work unless she wants to get fired.

I think we know when that would be. In the showers obviously.

Each tribe is divided again into three subtribes that fall under three categories: city, coastal, and inland. Each tribe has one of each subtribes. Each tribe provides soldiers and a general, and each subtribe provides 5 men to serve in the Boule (15 total for each tribe).

ψιλοί (psiloi): Ranged Unit
The psioloi are lightly armed troops drawn from the lowest classes of Bennipolitan society. Since these people are too poor to afford the weapons necessary to be part of the hoplites, the psioloi bring whatever weapons that they can muster, whether it be a javalin, bow, or sling. Their main role in the military is to harass the opposing hoplite formation until the Bennipolitans' own hoplite can charge at them.
ὁπλῖται (hoplites): Heavy Infantry
The hoplite is the mainstay of the Bennipolitan military. Heavily armored (relatively speaking), they are armed with a round aspis shield and the doru spear. Due to the length of the doru, hoplites can out-range other spearmen (or any infantry). The hoplite formation relies on teamwork and cohesion. Although extremely powerful in pitched battles, the hoplite formation can be easily flanked if their sides are not protected well.
πελτασταί (Peltasts): Light Infantry
An intermediary infantry between the psioloi and the hoplite. Therefore, they are armed to a degree between the psiloi and the hoplite. These soldiers are more flexible than their heavy infantry counterparts and can engage in both hand-to-hand and ranged combat situations.
πρόδρομοι (Prodromoi): Light Cavalry
Due to the rough terrain where the Bennipolitans dwell, cavalry takes a backseat role in the army. Only the wealthiest citizens can own horses, which are otherwise useless animals in this environment. The Prodromoi are lightly armed cavalry that helps protect the flank of the hoplite formation and harasses the opposing formation with thrown missiles.
Ἀμαζονική τοξόται: Specialty Archer
Due to their supposed Amazonian heritage, Bennipolitan women, particularly those of the aristocracy...(a la Sparta)...
Even though Icon and War-Pulse could not see his face, Chris raised his eyebrows when he heard that the metahuman mercenary knew the ‘Spider-Girl’, whom he wished to recruit for their little cause. He must had run into her either before or after she had encountered him during D-Day, although he guessed that War-Pulse probably met her before she decked Chris. He came to this conclusion because Archangel had trapped Aubrey under that electrified net. Chris had forgotten about that little portion of the incident, probably because he usually remembered that part where the ‘Spider-Girl’ decked him. Things are going to be, well, interesting if they manage to recruit the arachnid-themed superheroine.
However, it was what War-Pulse said next that placed Chris in between Scylla and Charybdis.
”If this is a leap of faith we’re taking, then we’re dropping off that first step together. You have to trust me, I’ll get Madame Web to get on board.”
While on one hand, it would not seem like sending Icon to help recruit Aubrey would do anything except increase the chances of recruiting her. How many people would straight up refuse an offer from Icon? However, at the same time, War-Pulse did bring up a good point. If Chris really meant what he said about taking a leap of faith, he would otherwise appear like a hypocrite if he would send Icon along for the ride. There was really no way out of not sending War-Pulse alone to recruit the ‘Spider-Girl’.
“Well, it looks like we would require a Sokrates to break your argument. We’ll meet you, along with that ‘Spider-Girl’, back in Lost Haven at my recently purchased tower in Sherman Square. It’s the building in the best shape, considering on the crazy stuff that happens at Sherman Square. Shouldn’t be too hard to miss.”
After he approved of War-Pulse’s request to go after Aubrey, Chris pulled out a manila folder out of a compartment in his armor and handed it over to the metahuman mercenary. Contained within this folder was documents similar to those that Chris had given to Lyger and Radiance concerning Zac and Kelly. However, these files were about Aubrey.
“While I don’t mind that you use your information broker to supplement your field intelligence, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. These should at least get you started on your mission. Also, you might not want to mention me to her. Let’s just say she’s not my biggest fangirl, to put it nicely.”
During the conversation between Chris and War-Pulse, Icon interjected into the discussion by showing his agreement with War-Pulse’s opinion, that it would be better if Icon remained near the city for the sake of its own sanity. Furthermore, he suggested that everyone in Albany should return back to Lost Haven instead of going to Columbus to help out on Aubrey’s recruitment. While Chris could not argue with this now due to the change of plans, he had only intended to send the two Albany kids because they have met Aubrey before. But that didn’t matter now, especially since Icon took out without Chris.
“Well,” Chris said as he placed one hand on War-Pulse’s shoulder, “I guess this is goodbye until you get back to Lost Haven.”
Chris then turned away from the metahuman mercenary and prepared to ascend into the sky. However, before he ignited his suits propulsion systems, he remembered what the Speedsters had said about him being a ‘Scrooge’. Chris turned his hand back so that he could look over his shoulder in order to get one last comment in.
“I’m not a total Scrooge. Placing a mercenary onto your payroll just doesn’t do any justice on one’s public image, if you know what I mean. Plus, Thunderbolt and Boom are probably jealous that they don’t have an entire room filed with gold coins in which you can swim in.”
With that comment, Chris soared up into the sky, heading back to the tower in Sherman Square where he had designated as everyone’s rendezvous point.
I'll probably get it, my awakening game got corrupted right before I was going to finish it, but I'm looking forward to the next one.
Just downloaded Corrin in Smash, I already have many questions.
Do you know which version you would like to get (Conquest or Birthright)? Also, if you want to exchange Friend Codes for FE:Fates (or also Super Smash for the 3DS), just PM me.
I actually like Corrin. I like her counter (hits on both sides and she does not fall in the air while using it). Her side b can be tricky to use at first, but I think I am getting the hang of it now. I wish her/his smash attack had more range, but overall I like the character (although that comes from the guy who uses almost all the Fire Emblem characters in Smash 4)
@DedonusThey're still making that game series?? Right. Okay then. Anyways I plan on picking up X-Com 2 today and having it ready to play in the morning. Need a short break from Fallout 4.
Yes. The last game (Awakening) was financially successful.
