Hello Escapist.
The title pretty much says it all, which army would destroy the most land? Which army would kill the most people? Which army would lead to your defeat first? Pretty basic questions, but I wanted to hear what you had to say.
Some qualifying guidlines to start off with.
1, They have to be an organized, structered, regulated army.
I mainly made this a rule because I know a large amount of people are going to jump directly to factions like the Flood, The Necromorph, the Xenomorphs, Predators. Well the reason I dont count them as an army is simple, in the case of the predators, we've never seen a regulated army for their civilization, we've only seen private hunters.
In the cases of the Flood, and Xenomorph, they are feral on their own. With out gravemind or the empress to guide them respectivaly, they degrade into mindless killing machines, they are not supplied, they arent regulated, the flood dont have any hierarchy, and while the xenomorphs do the instant that the queen is far enough away it instantly shatters.
Now I admit that I dont know much about Necromorphs, but they dont strike me as the regulated type. Now feel free to correct me if im wrong, but they are not a choice.
2, Real or not, say what you feel
I started this thread with the intention of all the factions being fictonal, But if you feel that the Roman legions are superior to the hordes of Isengard, then by all means, dont hide this feeling.
[HEADING=1] THIS IS IMPORTANT, READ BEFORE YOU POST![/HEADING]
3, Technology dosent equal superiorty
Now i know that if you pit Rohan against the brother hood of steel, the victors would be obvious. This is why im going to ask you to provide 3 awnsers in your post.
One is a high tech or futuristic faction with technology that is superior to military technology today.
The other is armies from todays world or that are on par with todays real world militaries in terms of technology. For example, the Blackwatch have acess to super soilders and U.A.Vs designed to sniff out the virus they hunt, but for the most part they share the same guns, tread jobs, and apperal as the real us army.
The last is a low tech army, I.E. the armies of ancient times or fantasy lands. Things that fall under this catigory would be bronze or iron age forces like the ancient Romans or fantasy armies like Gondor or Rohan.
OK, with that out of the way lets begin.
So escapist, which army do you think is the greatest?
Good lord that was a finger killer.
EDIT: Some of the options blended into another spoiler. let me sort it out.
EDIT2: got it.
