Utility: Custom Army Design System (Very Rough Draft)

[Endoperez]

Personally, I think this project's is doomed to fail. Perfect] isn't a good target. Reasonably good balance would be MUCH easier to do, and would probably get used more. The fort lists, as an example, are great.

Some reorganizing would help a lot. HTML form would be good, and some kind of hyperlinks are compulsory IMHO. Example:
1) troops
1.1) races; if human, go to 1.2
1.2) technology: melee weapons
1.3) technology: missile weapons & mounts
1.4) technology: armor
1.5) units and chassises
2) commanders
2.1) mages
2.2) thugs
2.3) others


etc etc.

The idea is that if you're creating a new nation, you can do it in order, write down what you just chose, and go on to the next part. Also, everything should be named - this paragraph is about Non-priest Sacred Commanders, pass if you aren't interested. At the moment, there's no easy way to get past the race creation - especially as it ends on a list of weapons, and the next section is about weapons and armor.

Also, there should be rules for exceptions. What if my selection is a mix between two of your choices. Say, I want to use Bronze Armor I, but also Ice Studded Armor. The latter isn't worth 125 points on its own. What should I do? The armor lists are very good idea, but what about Super Plate and some cheaper type of armor, etc combinations? Do I have to pay for both?
