An army of one…

… untrained soldier.

Someone pointed me to a silly little online “strategy” game called Kings of Chaos today. I signed up and immediately launched an attack, the results of which were fairly amusing:

Your soldiers march onto the battlefield

Your generals report on your army’s status:

0 of your soldiers are trained attack specialists
1 of your army consists of untrained soldiers

None of your 0 trained soldiers have weapons

None of your 1 untrained soldiers have weapons

Your field scouts report on the status of the enemy:

The enemy has 2,630 trained soldiers with weapons and 1,120 with no weapons

None of the enemy’s 273 untrained soldiers have weapons

Both sides charge!
Your army strikes!

Your troops inflict 4 damage on the enemy!
The enemy sustains 0 casualties!

Everous’s forces counter-attack and inflict 69,914,433 damage on your army!
Your army sustains 0 casualties!

Your generals report on your weapon damage:

Everous’s forces expelled your army!

As your soldiers flee the battlefield you try to figure out what happened.
Were you overwhelmed by superior force? Were your soldiers tired?
Were your weapons in poor condition? Perhaps your soldiers were cowardly?
If you continue to fight and lose word will spread throughout the land about
your army’s incompetence!

Results that would qualify me as a general in the Iraqi army, I think…

Apparently I can gain more soldiers by having people click on a link to the Kings of Chaos website. Please, help me out and click on this link!
