The Rabbit Theme

[RobWorham]

So, we are rabbits. How can we work this into our game plan to provide a challenging, yet fun, experience for both our team, and the other teams who we will crush beneath our fluffy paws??

How can we join being rabbits with the civ experience? What are rabbits known for? What aspect of civ fits our team theme the best?

[RobWorham]

To my mind, rabbits could be described as :

Expansive : Lots of healthy veggies, breeding like rabbits means quicker workers, and very adept at storing food for the long cold winters.

Imperialistic : That breeding kicks in again to make plenty of new rabbit hutches for our expanding population. Fearsome fighters when threatened means that the cream of rabbit fighters rises to the top quickly.

or could be suitable for :

Creative : The cultural radius could be thought of as our little bunnies spreading across the countryside.......

Industrious : We're always busy beavering (well rabbiting) away making our dens bigger and deeper. This industriousness could be channeled into making other mighty works.......

Protective : It may just be me, but I just can't dream up an image of a bullyboy thug rabbit!!! Hares I can imagine throwing there weight around, but not nice cuddly rabbits. On the other hand.....

Aggressive : We are The Rabbits of Caerbannog!! We do rip the throats out of valiant knights. We do strike fear into all far and wide. We may be cuddly, but we're killers!!!!

Organized : I've never seen a disorganized rabbit, they always seem to know exactly what they are doing, and exactly where they are going. A slim connection I know, but I'm reaching the end of my list here.......

So, we could be :

Joao II (Exp/Imp)
Mao Zedong (Exp/Pro)
Bismark (Exp/Ind)
Suryavarman (Exp/Cre)
Mehmed II (Exp/Org)
Shaka (Exp/Agg)
Charlemagne (Imp/Pro)
Genghis (Imp/Agg)
Julius (Imp/Org)
Augustus (Imp/Ind)
Catherine (Imp/Cre)
Hammurabi (Agg/Org)
Tokugawa (Agg/Pro)
Kublai (Agg/Cre)
Stalin (Agg/Ind)
Zara (Cre/Org)
Louis (Cre/Ind)
Gilgamesh (Cre/Pro)
Roosevelt (Ind/Org)
Qin Shi Huang (Ind/Pro)

Hmmmmm, quite a list to narrow down........

[Lancer]

I like playing the Romans in single player but my experience in MP is nil. So whatever you guys choose is good in my book.

[Zoid]

A lot to chose from indeed. I narrowed it down to 6 leaders. Of these I like Charlemange or Augustus.


Charlemagne (Imp/Pro)
Genghis (Imp/Agg)
Augustus (Imp/Ind)
Tokugawa (Agg/Pro)
Stalin (Agg/Ind)
Qin Shi Huang (Ind/Pro)

Not a single choice for Fin or Philo? No problem.
Creative (even more with Cha or Exp) makes life easier.
A true warriors path you propose? Very well.
And do you think Pro fits the bill?
All good.

[Zoid]

It would be interesting to try the warriors path, I always use creative as a security blanket. Metinks it's time to try something else. Breed and fight!

[FeMme]

I will wait to voice my opinion until after our "Private" forum is secure.....

[Zoid]

Good idea. I didn't know it was open.

[RobWorham]

Locutus has assured me the loophole has now been fixed, but to be sure we should hold on the important talk for a bit longer....

[Zoid]

Let me try.

Proviisori smells like cheap vodka and unwashed feet!

[GeoModder]

So, the teams will be allowed to choose a civ? No random civs appointed?

[GeoModder]

I wonder if the general concensus would allow unrestricted leaders.

Then may I suggest Stalin.

Really interesting trait combo - and Cossacks - one of the most powerful mid game UU's.

[FeMme]

I definitely think Expansive should be one of our traits but am torn between Industrious and Aggressive.

I've never played Bismark before but have enjoyed being Shaka a few times. Nice early UU if you have a handy source of Copper.....
