The Sinister Six: A Competitive EitB SG

[shallow_thought]

@Bob - thanks for the reply, looks like there was a reason for everything. I'll think about what I want for my avatar .

[DaveV]

With respect to avatar type: I still think it would be cool if we had one of each type (some avatars will have a harder time winning the score contest, in my opinion, but that's not what I think this game is really about). With that in mind, I'll withhold my choice in an effort to increase the diversity of avatars.

[Bobchillingworth]

I too will select an option nobody else has, don't really care which I end up with.

[shallow_thought]

OK, I'll take an adept with Death Mana as their extra and Death I as their first promotion. I support the idea of aiming for as many different types as possible.

I doubt it's a strong choice in terms of winning, but it should be fun.

[Aurorarcher]

I'll take hunter.

[Brian Shanahan]

I'll take hunter.

So we have two hunters.

[Bobchillingworth]

Nothing wrong with that!


I'll copy the rules and such over to the first post, along with info on which player has what Avatar. Also let me know if you've got a custom name in mind.

@ Miguel- ready to pick?

[Miguelito]

Sorry for the delay,  been travelling and not as attentive.


I'll sit on a horse, hoping to become half a horse one day.

Btw, do kills by animals which were captured by heroic hunters count towards their score, like summons do? If yes they should be renamed upon capture to make clear where they come from.

so us non-hunters can send them on suicide missions,  or cage them

So the remaining choices are:

• Axeman (4/4, 5/5 with bronze weapons) - the most versatile unit, but also the most boring.
  
• Archer (4/5) - the defensive specialist, which means slower XP gain. But a heroic archer might mean the difference between surviving and not, against Deity barbs and AIs.
  
• Lightbringer (4/3) - Sentry is a very useful promotion, which could help the team a lot. Lightbringers have probably the best promotion prospects, needing just a temple to upgrade to a 4/4 disciple unit (apparently he loses the Sinister promotion on upgrade, although not the Mobility II) with Medic I. More of a support unit than a strong attacker or defender, but able to do some useful things.
  

Although it's far from the optimal choice, I'll go with the Lightbringer. At least my teammates will have some incentive to keep my avatar alive.
