Game roles

[Geo Stelar]

In a war game or an RTS game, which role would you prefer?

You can also explain why you picked that role.

And please...

respect others' opinions, and no flamewars

If this does not count as a quantitative question, admins, mods, please tell me.

Offense. The best defence is offense...I think that's what the quote was. I always like the stat. of attack. Speed and defense are second ranked in my book.

[Asper Sarnoff]

Heavy offense.

[Guest DRL]

Multi. A combined strategy is the key to success.

Sometimes your troops alone can not win the battle,

but sopported by the might walls of your stronghold, the can.

Sometimes a key ambush/assault can crush an opponent's

war machine...

I would be more of a mixed bag myself. I prefer to lay low and raise my defenses first then if the opportunity arrives strike to kill. I voted Offense because really I'd like to be on the attack more than guarding. It's more thrilling but I'd play it smart before I can go on the attack.

Support, Its always been easier to watch someones back then go in head first.

Besides Its very difficult for me to use offense these days do to lack of experience with the keyboard...

No, that's a good offence. You should understand that kind of quote before using it. Also Sun Tzu is outdated.

Honestly, it depends what Im doing and in the mood for. I like to turtle usually.

Defense.

And on a somewhat related note, I disagree with the locking of many of the polls that are qualitative, yes it might not be ideal in some scenarios.  But locking the topic or removing the poll just seems....wrong.

If I post a poll, and I give 5 answers (out of a possible infinite number) and I ask the members to vote for the one they would be most likely to do or vote for why honestly should the poll in this be removed if the members are only allowed to vote for one of the five?  It makes no sense to me and I've never seen any other forum ban or strongly discourage qualitative polls.  An official reasoning would be most appreciated.

When I really think trough it, I'm not that sure if I would really classify my playing style in RTS's as only offensive. Most of the time, I turtle down in a tight spot, and keep the opponents at bay using little of my strenght, all the while building up huge armies of heavily armed and armored shock troops, before I finally unleash it like a steamroller when I'm satisfied with it's strenght, washing away any resistance. It's always the final offensive that's the most fun, naturally, so I guess I think of me as more of an offensive player than the balanced one I really am.

That's turtling, a defencive stratagy.

Although I'm balanced, my gameplay strategy is supporting other attackers and defenders, thus focusing more on support.

And I play my best when in a group.

I like doing that, team play is AWEC00L.

[Showtime 1-1]

Support. Have to cover the attackers and provide firepower for the defenders.

[Kursed]

most of the time I'm kinda both a good offence person as well as defence I switch depending on the situation I'm  not sure if i've done support roles much though.
