It is a Saturday and I am in office. How to pass the time? Simple. Take 1 of those silly tests that purport to give you some deep insight about yourself... Rest of the stuff is NOT mine and simple copy pasted from the How to be a Hero website.

My Inner Hero - Wizard!

I'm a Wizard!

There are many types of magic, but all require a sharp mind and a cool head. There is no puzzle I can't solve, no problem I can't think my way out of. When you feel confused or uncertain, you can always rely on me to untangle the knots and put everything back in order for you.

How about you? Click here to find your own inner hero.

Hello, Wizard.

Character Stats:

Rogue (5)
Warrior (10)
Wizard (27)
Paladin (6)

Your Profile:

You're intelligent, educated, and just a bit superior to everyone you know. If you're still in school, you probably make A's, if you're not too bored to waste the effort. If you work, your annoying boss relies on you to solve the problems no one else can figure out. You've never met a puzzle you can't solve. When it comes to leisure, you'd rather read, play a strategy game, or surf the 'Net than run around getting sweaty. You're a brainiac, and you're not ashamed to admit it.

Above all, you're a mastermind and a great thinker. You see the unknown as territory to be conquered, and the mysterious as something to be systematically unraveled. You don't have time for fools; you only spend your time with people who can comprehend your obfuscatory convolutions. You enjoy amassing knowledge, both useful and trivial.

Your Mission:

You were put on this earth to enlighten people. They will listen to you, because they are impressed by your vocabulary, your erudition, and your ability to grasp concepts that invariably elude them. You are the one who has to figure things out, because let's face it - you're the only one smart enough.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to Discover Something. Something small, or something big. Find an unknown insect in your own backyard. Discover a cure for sunburn. Develop a faster way to get the dishes done. Calculate the number of molecules in the Andromeda galaxy. Discover a comet. Discover SOMETHING.

And do make it a priority. The Famous Adventurer of Silmaria has a crystal ball trained on you, and will be noting your progress.

A Warning:

Try to remember: you're not infallible. If people around you are all nodding and smiling, it may just be because they don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. Check your facts and admit the possibility that even you can make mistakes. Loosen up. Make friends with a Rogue and have him or her try to poke holes in your theories. Who knows; you might actually have fun.

On another note - making plans and formulating theories can be quite stimulating, but at some point, you are going to have to actually DO something. Employ a Warrior, if necessary, to put your brilliant schemes into action. Just be sure your instruction manual is written in very small words.

But I must say, the analysis they give is right on the money. To read what they had to say about me you can go to my blog at http://360.yahoo.com/shantanuujjwal

A palladin is a warrior if I remember correctly from my Age Of Empire playing days. A palladin rides a horse and fights with a sword.

A Paladin is ideally an upgraded version of the Knight, he can be called a holy knight and they gained popularity after the crusades. They were holy and noble people who believed in the lord and instead of being a priest decided to fight for him.

I didnt know shit what a paladin was until I saw him/it as a unit in AOE.

In, AOE, a Paladin is the meanest, cruelst, most mobile and agile unit availaible.
Am glad playing heaps of AOE has some advantages, :)

cheers

A Paladin in AOE is indeed a very formidable character but s/he is definitely not the most cruelest or agile unit around.

There are a few characters that are more dangerous and there are some that are more agile.

When we used to play AOE during our college days all of us had paladin-centric strategies. i.e. our aim was to become rich, produce as many paladins as possible and then attack. Remember how we used to be deadlocked after a few hours with none of the players making any significant progress...

Recently I have realized that this is not the best of strategies... a healthy mixture of lots of units each having different plus and minus points is a better strategey and much more sustainable.

Anyways AOE is an addiction and therefore I have stopped playing it... Though I do have relapses once in a while :-)
