I think you're giving Traditio a little more credit than he deserves.

Maybe. I try to come to every new thread without preconceptions about people. You never know when your assumptions can be wrong and don't want that to cloud a good conversation. Debate the points, not the person and all that.

Definitely an admirable attitude. In this case, you'll find your reasoned, well laid out arguments to be ignored because Traditio isn't here to have his mind changed. This particular poster has a long history of locked threads and constantly demonstrates a lack of knowledge surrounding everything about the game and the universe.

The level of salt in this thread is causing the dead see to feel inferior and like a fresh water sea.

IG need granular differences and alternatives like veterans, large blobs of conscripts. Its all adding to the flavour.

Traditio, how do you feel about Company Veterans? How about Terminators having two slots? What about Centurions having two slots? What about Knights - couldn't they all just be one single unit? Skitarii Ranger and Vanguard could just be one unit, like T'au Strike and Breacher Teams!

Remove Platoon and Company Command Squads, remove Scion Command Squads, in fact, remove regular Commissars (because the Lord Commissar exists).

I fully support the existence of the three tiers of Guardsmen in the AM range - the typical Guardsmen, the weaker by more plentiful Conscript, and the more effective but rarer Veteran. They have a narrative purpose and an effective one.

Yes, indeed!

Additionally, this feels a bit like a thread designed to agitate and break the rules of the site, or...entice others to break the rules of the site.

As such - it is now locked!
