I like eagle for one of them, the eagle was the symbol for the roman legion.

Im a little confused about what else it could be.

Legion is an organization, they have halls, baseball leagues.

Legion is a comic book character for marvel that has multiple persaonalities and powers.

Legion has religious connotations as well, they made that shitty movie about the idea as well.

Does any of that help anyone?

I think I agree with eagle

I haven't heard of the comic book character so idk

I don't think it's air based on that

I vaguely thought it could be lead but I don't feel strongly at all about it

Have you guys really not seen a legion of centaurs
centaurs are the most military thing ever
they are when someone got high on acid and imagined a horse and a rider combined

It could be "Lead" because a legion is a division of soldiers and naturally needs at least 1 leader
like the idea of needing to divide your army into legions is inherently a leadership problem

Comic is kind of high risk high reward because if he hasn't heard of the comic book character it could be assassin or the other team's. I haven't heard of the comic book character. We could still pick Comic up at the end on a win-it-or-lose-it turn if we need to.
Lead seems like it's definitely close enough to Legion to be safe from being Assassin and I think both Eagle and Centaur are arguably conceptually similar enough to be safe.

I also thought a little bit about Foot since legions are usually Foot Soldiers. They actually usually aren't cavalyr which is a strike against centaur even if I think Centaurs are super soldiery.
"Eagle, Lead, Foot" makes all 3 clues conceptually related to roman legions and cluemasters are more likely to give a clue the repeatedly works the same angle instead of several different ones so I think I like that set of guesses best.

Admittedly so does that "air" pun that might be too spicy to be safe

I don't think I want to gamble with "air". "Comic" makes sense, but I get your point that if he doesn't know of the comic then it's a ~problem~.

(also thank you for reminding me what centaurs are, it's been on the tip of my brain the whole day but for some reason I couldn't picture it)

"lead" and "foot" both make sense army-wise, though I prefer "lead" out of the two

I agree that lead is stronger

I like eagle a lot, the whole war hawk murica eagle angle as a backup makes it so unlikely to be assassin

I'm open to a different third besides foot that someone thinks of

Ok, i think Fish agrees with eagle so if you want you can input it

tbh I'm still a bit scared (as stupid as it sounds), last time I did it it was a miss so

I think I want to sequence Lead before Eagle, Eagle has the lowest assassin equity but Lead has the highest match equity

Hm, I actually didn't feel ~too~ strongly about Lead, Eagle caught my eye first to be honest
