I added a discount thing.

OOC: "Nice pics," he said to himself.

An interesting notion for a military force; magic. As interesting as this sounds, we are a scientific people and the government retains a sceptical position on such things. Besides, we can barely afford to maintain our army of mere humans.

BUMP! Come on buy some!

Razor Warriors
http://www.blackguard.com/demo/files/3d_stills/spikegirl.jpg
These warriors posses the power to sharpen blades to a single molecule, thereby providing them with the ability to attack armored vechicles effectively. While a single Razor Warrior would be hard pressed to destroy a tank a group of them can take down most tanks in less then ten minutes.
PPU: 160,000 USD

Interesting... very interesting. Of course Thundercorp sells swords that have been given a monomolecular edge for about 1,000 USD. That's roughtly 159,000 less than one of your Razor Warriors. Hell for the cost of one Razor Warrior you could not only buy a sword (which you can use one-handed) but you can buy training, a pistol, armour, and still have about 155,000 USD left.

EDIT: Could you please explain what causes such a vast price-difference, and why your Razor Warrior is better than the list of items I mentioned above?

Yes but a Razor Warrior posses skill with bladed weapons that is unsurpassed and only has to touch a blade to sharpen it. They can also carve swords and other bladed weapons from any metal with their bare hands.

Yes but a Razor Warrior posses skill with bladed weapons that is unsurpassed and only has to touch a blade to sharpen it.

Unsurpassed? Are you implying that General and Dark Master Moch Ingbrock, the master of slaughter, who has walked the earth for countless years, cannot defeat a whelp razor warrior?

Padmasa will put this to the test in three ways, and will purchase three of your Razor Warriors for the tests. One will fight Moch, one will fight a weapons-master, and the third will fight a Padmasan recruit trained and armed for half the cost of your Razor Warrior. The money is wired, we will send a transport for them whenever you deem it a good time.

EDIT: That is a nothing, any Padmasan mage could accomplish such a forgeing.

We are implying that each Razor Warrior begins life with the knowledge of a thousand fallen warriors, passed on by Emperor Julian Vercore supreme Sorcerer, Summoner, Necromancer, Enchanter, Wizard, and Demon master of all Losk.
http://ackegard.com/albums/mages/darkspell_mage.thumb.jpg

We shall send you three Razor Warriors free of charge. As for a transport they will arive upon Blue Winged Wyverns tomorow (3 RL minutes).

Our thanks, we will of course edit out the more graphic bits for the vid-cast.

OOC: Well if you say they where killed with no problem and with out inflicting any wounds on any of them, I'll call it a godmod and ignore it.
IC: Why would you edit out the interesting bits?

Most of them are Melee units. Considering that the new Mark II (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=154202) tank can fire at up to 4km, and that the yet-to-be-announced Mark III tank will have a 7km range, they will be dead before they can get close.

Any decent battlemage should be able to counter whatever the ranged units can throw out.

Your units are not bad, but they seem to be closer to cannon fodder that overwhelms the enemy with sheer mass. Besides, we have over 300,000 applicants for the High Guard wait-listed, and they will come with their own weapons, and a lifetime of fighting in the Shadowside, which is in a state what can only be called as permanent civil near-war.

We are interested in testing out your units. However, we will wait for Padmasa's tests before taking this further.

OOC: Well if you say they where killed with no problem and with out inflicting any wounds on any of them, I'll call it a godmod and ignore it.
IC: Why would you edit out the interesting bits?

OOC: Now that really depends. If you put a normal soldier against a demon of near god-like powers you can expect the man to be dead in seconds without so much as drawing his sword.

Now, against a weapon-master it would be an hours long fight as both would likely be masters of the art and both would be armed in the same way. Of course ultimately one would win out or meerly succumb to bloodloss and fatigue and be killed.

And in the third bout... well I don't see much that a man can do about roughly 3,000 11mm rounds being fired at him in the first minute of combat. And if you speak correctly about him touching something and it being sharpened it would be pretty bad with all those bullets. :lol: I'm just joking with that but meh.

IC: The average viewer probably would not enjoy seeing a "human" litterly torn apart by thousands of 11mm rounds. Of course we would not edit any melee combat, children are used to seeing death in the various sanctioned duels and arenas.

IC: The screen goes black as the day's news ends. However before the latest government announcement plays a picture of the grand Padmasan Arena appears. Its seats are filled with thousands of members from the various Padmasan races. On the field a single man in shining plate mail is ushered into the arena to a series of "Boos." From the other gate a man wearing black hooded robes emerges. He floats a foot above the ground and advances slowly. When the two combatants are three meters apart a gong sounds and the armoured figure begins to draw his sword. The man standing across from him makes a single arcane gesture and everyone in the arena clutches thier head in pain, all paralyzed. The figure floats foward and reaches out a gauntleted hand and touches the armoured figures forehead. The man collapses to his knees screaming in Agony. The figure turns and with a dismissive wave to the crowd floats away. Two robots rush from a side entrance and drag the man away as he howls in agony.

A set of commericials run, one advertising Crimson Cola.

When the arena returns another of the armoured figures is advancing from his corner. Opposite him a man wearing black silken clothes and a completely black cloak advances. The two face off, making salutes to one another, the black cloaked man draws a Chainsword and begins to circle. They continue this for several minutes before both make a leaping pass. In a flash of sparks they exchange a set of blows to fast to follow. Both take minor blows during this however the superior reach of the Weapons-master seems to be holding out. More exchanges of blows more blood onto the dirt floor.

*Two hours later*

Both combatants limp foward, the padmasan goes for a single strike his blade flashing in a decapitating blow, however even as the head falls off the Razor Warrior's shoulders the Padmasan slumps to his knees the RW's sword impaling his heart.

Another string of commericals.

BUMP for new stuff.

We will purhase 100 of your ogres, to be tested against our Mark II designs.

The money has been wired, and we are sending a team of magi'i to pick up the ogres.

We would like to know what facilities and food products will be required to maintain them.

Eran L. Wu
Armored Lead Alchemist

They need no special place to sleep, we keep our Ogre army in empty stables. As for food, they require raw meat and few vegetables. In wartimes you need not worry about their food, as they will eat enemies they kill.

Velcob Corquin Bazaar Overseer

OOC: should I assume we got the ogres?

OOC: should I assume we got the ogres?

OOC: Since you are picking them up, however long it takes is up to you.

We would like to purchase your store. Name your price.

We will sell for 80,000,000,000 USD and not a penny less!

OOC:Your store hasn't made that much money at all! I just like your pics and I think your troops are interesting.

IC: 900,000,000 USD

We want more.

How is ten million USD?

Make it 30,000,000 USD and you've got a deal.

Deal. Thirty million USD has been wired to you.

Summary of results:

Start line: 4,500m
Net Ogres: 97
Incapacitated after 3,450m: 86
Incapacitated after self-destruct: 11
Net effect: 1 Mark II destroyed, 1 Mark II severely damaged, 97 ogres destroyed.

The two Mark II tanks began firing at 4km, their azure shields flicking on/off with each discharge. Designed to pierce DU-reinforced tank armor, each could take care of multiple ogres with each hit. The earth trembled at the sound of dozens of ogres charging. Some threw the stones they were lugging with them as they sped towards the firing tanks, others simply dropped them. In all, only two score managed to collide with the azure shields. Then the shields of the two tanks went offline . . .
