Do I add 'and'

[georgelee5786]

My fantasy army's motto is, "Fight, kill, die," but I'm wondering if I should make it, "Fight, kill, and die." What do y'all think?

No.
Keep the parallelism. I think adding the 'and' puts more emphasis on 'die'.
Unless thats what you're going for.

The first one… Although the last word holds some uncomfortable connotations to the ideology of the army

They wanted to make it 'possibly die', but it sounded clunky so they didnt

War, Glory, Sacrifice
It's a different tone, but the other motto seems more on the nose or something... what kind of fantasy army is this?
Savage and barbaric
Valourous and honorable
Organized and elite
A soulless meatgrinder
Other
Just make sure it fits their style of what they stand for. If it fits now it fits.

Depends. Huge portions of the army are from regions ruled by lords, so how the army acts varies from unit to unit. However, it is predominantly an organized and honorable fighting force bound by strict codes dictating what they can do.

 

[Kidd_Wadsworth]

NO AND. Fight, Kill, Die is perfect.

First is way better for a motto. Its a nice English riff on Veni, Vidi, Vici

 

[ThrillingHuman]

I'd leg it if my military had such a motto

That makes you a fugitive from military service. And that carries a lot of jail time

 

[ThrillingHuman]

That makes you a fugitive from military service. And that carries a lot of jail time

still better than going off to "fight, kill, die".

You are sentenced to fight amongst the convict brigade. Good luck!

Convict brigade? Overdramatic gasp We would never stoop to such barbarism. We would send him to forge weapons inside a hollowed mountain for the rest of his life.

Weapons from a coward? Will they run away when needed as well?
