well, the crossbows are suppose to represent machine guns used in the army, not sure what pike would represent. 
I'm gonna wait on doug to decide if it's pally only before pick a build.

It is not only paladins, as I would love to have a grenadier-sin and a Sarge barb, even one of them demon machine enchantresses. Still, if we had 8 players in a game, 3-4 need to be pallies.
I will take on compiling the list of entrants/builds. Not tonight, though, bedtime. :yawn: I think I need a Lieutenant, so if we get >8 players at playtime he can split off a squad to keep everyone involved. I'll ponder that as I lay in bed tonite :thumbsup:.

Alright, I'll go with grenadier.
here is my idea of a team, all pally... could be changed, but I like the idea of all pally:
Medic
Max Prayer
Max Holy Bolt
Scout
Max Fant
Max Vigor
Soldier
Max Concentration
Sniper
Max Holy Aim
Specialist
Max Holy Shock
Soldier
Max Might
Specialist
Max Holy Freeze
Sargent
max Defiance
made this in a few seconds... should be sweet damage....
what combat skills work with a gun(bow/xbow)?
Medic
Max Prayer
Max Holy Bolt
Scout
Max Fant
Max Vigor
Soldier
Max Concentration
Sniper
Max Holy Aim
Specialist
Max Holy Shock
Soldier
Max Might
Specialist
Max Holy Freeze
Sargent
max Defiance

none of the combat skills work with a ranged weapon.
Potential builds n themes that corax can see:
Medic.
Max Prayer, holy bolt
1 in cleansing(active aura..free healing n curse reduction)
1 in salvation and other utility skills.
max sanctuary to repel undead.
Sarge:
barb = battle orders, shout, howl, battle command. (bolsters troops n scares baddies.
Paly = holy freeze. (co-ordinates his troops n throws enemies into dissarray)
Holy Man
Max Conviction
Soldiers
max fanaticism or concentration or might ( get 3 soldiers for lots of dmg)
heavy weapons
fire blast sin
Holy fire paly with an exploding arrows/bolts weapon.
Scout
max vigor and blessed aim ('paints' targets to make them easier to hit)
Out of them I'd like to play the conviction holyman or the holy fire paly. im easy

The thing is with a group is that it's almost impossible to get all people together at the same time, so if you plan to rely on other's aura, most likely you'll be disappointed.
Another thing is with all the aura going, you are going nuts just hearing all the sound of aura on/off, especially at early stage when the radii are all quite small.
Holyfiredin dosen't do much damage though, with fully synergized holy fire (60 points total), 7 skiller and other +skill on equiptment you'll have only 1.5k average fire damage.

Holy fire is not a bad skill. not at all even with the low average damage.
its dmg dealing capability is up there with holy freeze/shock.
its 'advantages' so too speak are the fact you do splash damage with the right weapons (you can also add alot of off weapon fire dmg which gets splashed too) and you dont have to hit for the splash to hurt things. get a decent lvl of pierce and you'll splash each monster a few times depending on mob density. with those 2 your damage is right up there.

I really think Pally only with 1 Barbiarian sergeant is the most faithful build.

I can go with this, but I definitely want a grenade throwing gal. That's icing on our cake!Starving_Poet said:
Still haven't compiled, RL is calling... but we do have a week and a half before we start. Hey, what do you think of having Red team/Blue team? We have alot of interested members here, if we have Red team on Sunday, Blue team on XXX, and a makeup time or two during the week to help along anyone who missed... we could have a really cool army (and good duels when we get bored
).EDIT:
@ tophatcat below: definitely. We may decide on certain equip for certian missions (i.e. everyone wear a twitchthroe/XXX helm for a certain day).

It would definitely make an awesome screenshot if you could have everyone in the same stuff (or at least the same helm and armor) lined up in formation.

Well, different types of soldiers look different. The grunts (paladins) should look quite similar, but you should be able to pick out the Sarge, grenadier, flamethrower, etc... (like an RTS game).NSXdreamer said:

I have plenty of equipment, if anyone has a problem, I will gladly help them out, and I am sure others would also.Starving_Poet said:I don't have any SC items, so I might need to be a charity case for this
Idea! How about a flamethrower character?
How viable is an Inferno sorc? The damage with max Inferno and max Warmth (it's synergy, and a damn useful one too) seems pretty good, getting to over 1000 damage per second at about 10 mana per second. Also, if enchant goes with the army theme (a mortar team provided I use some sort of xbow?), then I can also max enchant since they share a synergy. I realize that Inferno can get a little pricey mana-wise, but as long as we have a medic with meditation aura (since it passively gives life regen based on prayer's level, then Inferno should be easily spammable.) I'd be willing to try this build out for this group if it goes with the rules.
As for the character balance, I think that most of the group should be pallies, but I'd certainly like to see a Sarge warcries barb and some other variations in the make-up. I'd also like to implement a sort of scavenger-hunt-like basis into this group where we have missions such as to find a certain monster and kill him.
Tell me whacha think?
