As I said in Mo/A/, the Style/Doctrine system basically consists of:
Style: What you have
Doctrine: What you do with it
Gender: Female
Name Evilyn
Style: Whatever it takes!!
Doctrine: Fanaticism
Secondary doctrine: Highly unstable magic
What I have: Devotion to the cause.
What I do with it: followers will do anything you tell them to.
What I also do with it: Knowledge of magic that no sane person would use and is probably at its most effective when being used to convert the user into an explosive force.

Actually RAM thas more likely to blow up a city, your army, and theirs than turn your person into an explosive, so you ought to be careful what you wish for.

1) Male
2) Winston Starbound

3) Air Superiority
4) Pyromancy
5) Guerrilla Warfare
Well with this you would start out with a mix of scrap Fighters, and Bombers along with a few Flame Guerrillas. This would be quite effective late game, but at the start you will have little fuel avaliable to you, and the Fighters, and Bombers could become useless pretty fast if you run out of fuel all together.

Teleporting swordsmagi. For best results, we'd want to get Doctrine: Superior Training early, Doctrine: Knowledge Is Power so we know who to warp in and kill to best destroy enemy morale, and possibly Doctrine: Espionage for ninjas.

I will wait till tomorrow, and the place with the most votes will get chosen as the starting locale. I will do the same for character name, and doctrines as well, so until then I suggest you guys who have not done, so go check out Pandarsenic's game linked in the OP as his is quite further along.

Chapter 1; Turn - 1; Haven Created, but What is its Name?

Your forces surronded the small camp of Drake-Kin who guard a large clearing in the jungle that your people wished to make their home. It does not take long for them to get into position, and get prepared for the plan you had set up to take the clearing quickly, and effortlessly. The first thing the enemy hears is the slight swish of arrows as they fly through the air, but by the time they realize what is happening most of them die from the arrows, adn those who remain are quickly finished off by as the group of warriors charge through the camp.

Three Days Later,
Your people have quickly set about fixing up the camp to make it capable of housing , and protecting you. In the three days it took many shacks were built from the scattered ruins spread around the grasslands surrounding the camp, and manage to get a small wall up to help protect from invaders. Your soldiers claim the barracks the Drake-Kin had already constructed, and you took what seems to be the Commander's Tent here you find a map, and several useless bits of equipment.

Now it is time to begin you should lay-out your plans, and name this new haven you have begun to create.

Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)

((Note: I will try to get the units complete stats up soon, also check the OP to see what the facilities let you do.))
