Let's let Teamski in here. Doesn't he swear by his Monk army?

I have not drafted the Shaolin Monks in ages. I want to, but every at every draft, I find something else I think would be worth more in point value.


And UD, how many images of 'monks' do we need? I sure did like your Jason Type Nested Post rebus-type post, but Jesus, how many Monks do we need (pun intended).

Where's Bazooka when we need ONE nice, high-quality image of the topic at hand?

Now if you could only convinve N Doc the error of his ways before it is too late.....His monks will be DEFEATED in 65 days, 13 hrs, 14 mins, and 39 secs.

I PITY the FOOL!

Monks do better on smaller elavated maps and against low level swarms units. Vipers / orcs.

They are a bit fragile but they can make a difference in certain situations.

They look like fun, at least. I always have images of Hidden Dragon Tiger Crouching when I read their description.

I didnt think about them vs low lvl swarm units, thnx rychean. My friends and I always do random draft, and someone ends up with the monks and doesnt seem to kill anything with them :? They have been useful on closing the gap on some ranged units sometimes, but generally do not get the kill : (

WHAT??? Somebody dissed my Monk's?!?!?! :verymad:

ps. J/k of course. Everybody has their favorite units. I respect your opinion. I don't like the Gorillinators myself. I just love the flexability that the Monks have in their movement and attack.

I'm here to tell you. The first time I ever met DoubleOak, he swaggered into Jasco Games w/the AE. We were playing on a board that was composed of pieces from a collection of 20 Master Sets, 20 RttFFs, and a few other odds and ends. It was about 25 - 30 levels high, made for the AE, right?

Monks, heh, that's all I'm sayin'. Ask DoubleOak about it.

Heh.

Don't listen to Hahn, my Monks are gonna do to his Sams w/their bare hands much more than the Sams ever dreamed to do w/the swords.

Heh, Hahn, heh.

MONKS RULE!!!

If we start talking about the Gorillinators in here then we will be talking about monks again, just add a y. And you get Monkys and those are close cousions of Gorillas.

Oh yeah, well I'm gonna have RevDyer pray over 'em before I go to GC. They might not practice the same religion, but RevDyer will not let other holy men go down to a bunch of hedonistic sams.

I promise not to drag the sams through the streets upon their defeat. Heh, Hahn, heh.

If you misspell "Samurai" one more time, they are going to go on strike against you and not work for you. I let the first one slide, but I'm calling you on the second one.

I can't spell the name of my current favorite unit... :cry:

I asked Truth ealier today if I should start a seperate "Hahn vs Doc" trask talk/smack down thread. Even I was losing track on what thread and what web site, that's right we are talkin' SMACK on multiple sites, the latest tirade was on. But I think half the fun is looking for them.

Bless you my son, and may the chips fall where they may for you and all your monks (making them, of course, chip monks). May the skulls and the shields come at your command. May evil fall before your meditative wrath.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. :johnwoo2:

Just saw this thread and when I saw the title and Ninth had posted last, first thought was "ah hell, he's gonna bring out the AE story".

What a difference losing initiative makes when your dumb enough to drop your AE in within a good leap of the monks. Not my proudest moments and Ninth, who I had just met was MOST inhospitable in how he treated my poor AE.

Ah but, had I gotten initiative and rained in some grenades on the tightly bunched monks and Velennes Snipers et al, oh would it have been sweet!!!

That Jasco day certainly gave me some respect for Ninth's monks, but I did get vengence on his cowboys :twisted:
