Build Queue:
-Warlord (Due turn 11)

It is your Turn 7. Liam claims he has used magic to "solve the problem" of the nearby Hobgobwin. You do not know if this is the case or not, but have few other options.

Your move, King Frank.

I don't suppose the Hellfire Skirmishers could catch him this turn? Do we have anything else that can fly?

>>18087336

They have less move than Gwiffons... and there are four Gwiffons and a Megalogwiff nearby.

Goodies! I have been waiting for this all day.
I have a few questions:
How many units can a general boost? All of them in their stack, as many stacks as they are fighting with? Or some other number?

Also: How fast is the sapper dig power? Can you put a sapper on a mount and make it dig tunnels faster?

The answers to these will influence formation strategies I have been pondering.

#TitansWill

>>18087366
OK I have a plan: It is a very convoluted plan that requires many tricks.

We need to send out the daeamons to turn the Gwiffons and Megalogwiff. We also need to send Whisper, or our self, piggy-backed on this unit (using the cwoc with juced up extra move as an interim mount).

Then switch mounts to the griffs, and use the griffs to capture the hobb.

We should consult our date guy to see who will have the best luck with this plan.

>>18087375

>How many units can a general boost? All of them in their stack, as many stacks as they are fighting with? Or some other number?

Warlords, or any other unit with a leadership bonus, provide their full bonus to all units in their stack. Chief Warlords give their stack their full bonus, any unit in their battle space roughly a 30% of their bonus, and any unit in their Hex but not in their stack 50% of their bonus.

>How fast is the sapper dig power? Can you put a sapper on a mount and make it dig tunnels faster?

Sappers dig at a variable rate. They can dig tunnels through approximately one hex per turn unless they have more manpower. If the mount has dig as well they can dig faster because that's additional manpower.

>>18087423

This is viable.

>>18087366
I thought they were a 100 hexes away?

>>18087520

No, they're more around 30+ Hexes away. The Hobgobwin is about 70-100 Hexes or so away.

Maybe the scout doesn't matter? Maybe we should be more worried about getting our shit in order so that we can take our neighbors on, whoever wins the current war.

Well, then, time to ask Mr. Flowers who would be better suited for this crazy scheme!

>>18087565
he saw there were people in the swamps. We're wanting to hide until we can't be just swept aside like a baby.

>>18087520
Mounting a train or mount system allows us to move pretty much wherever.

Also, How about this instead. Have our Liam give us a bwisp with the ability to mount. Then we move out, and go grab the gwiffs, then go and grab the Hob.

>>18087565
You would turn down a plan that gets us four Gwiffons and a Megalogwiff ?

Think of the flying archer Calvary man!

>>18087565
This way we get hobbs as purchasables.

>>18087580

This is awesome and doable as well.

>>18087580
We would still need to turn the gwiffs, somehow.

>>18087580
I'm pretty sure Liam's out of juice. He just magically slowed the scout from very far away with no visual of it.

>>18087609
we can get gwiffs anytime, we have to worry about our survival here

Vote or roll please. And yes, Liam is low on juice this turn, and in the Mine.

We are of course taking the demons with us.

Lets mount up on either a bwisp or a demon with some weirdamancy. Then lets hunt down some gwiffons.

>>18087681
I'll tell you what it is.. It's life, not death. Not sitting in a coffin sleeping, that's what.

>>18087691

Turn Abby into a mount? Hahahahaha!

>>18087686
>>18087674
>>18087653
we need the new units we can produce as a level two city. The sappers, dogs, and Highlanders.

rolled 9 = 9

I vote for crazy.

I am also rolling for crazy.

I guess 1d20 or something.

waiting on the rest of the level 2 units.

Hey everyone here's an idea we get the gwiffons this turn and have Liam go towards the hob with some wight-foots. Then when the hob enters our area but before he can find anything have Liam take away the fly ability from the hob then capture him using the wights.

>>18087748

So, you are either:

1. Riding a Cwoc, catching some Gwiffons, then intercepting.

2. Riding a Bwisp with Weirdamancy.

3. Riding a Daemon with Weirdamancy.

>>18087769
he's even farther away

>>18087777
Right sorry forgot about the mines.

>>18087777
HEY OP! THERE IT IS! EVEN BETTER THIS TIME!

Welp, Liam is busy so I think you may not be doing anything about the Hobgobwin this turn. Do you have additional plans for how you will use your turn?

>>18087777

>7777

Awwwww shit. Welp now 666 is due again sometime this thread.

>>18087775
>>18087823
option 1 it is.

>>18087823
get the gwiffs!

>>18087847
>>18087838

You hop back on your Cwoc and begin to move toward the Gwiffs. Before you go you ask Halston who might be suitable for the trip. He picks out a few Pikers and Archers who might be good with a mount.

The Daemons join you of course.

>>18087823
Option 1.

Lets take the demons with us.

>>18087877
Aw yeah! Here we go!

Updated note of available units.

>>18087890
forgot my pic

>>18087890

Oh, you won't arrive for another turn or so. Next turn shit goes down though.

>>18087895
Failed on posting....

>>18087904

Cwocodils pop in the swamp for now, other than that it's spot on. Till level three anyway, but I won't spoil the goodies you have coming when you level up next.

So, anything other than the Warlord you would like to queue up for next turn?

>>18087940
I'm gonna say 7 wight foots, since trouble is on the way and ambushing in the swamp is our best bet, and maybe 5 or so woof hounds.

>>18087940
Well... Seems about it. Maybe que in a highlander or two when we get more cwocs.

>>18087940
two Highlanders

So I was thinking we can mix an match our units for awesome tactics. Do we get a bonus for pun names?

For instance: Pikemen + Sappers = Punji Stickers. An ambush formation

Highlander on a cwoc + hound dogs = FoxHound. a quick and cheap response formation.

Archers + gwiffs, Lead by Whisper on a megagwiff = ? (ok I can't think of a pun for this, it's just a good idea)

But didnt we pop our city to Level 2?

>>18088007
yes we did. It is now level two and we get some more unit access.

>>18088007

You are now at level 2, yes. You are working up to level 3 eventually.

>>18087990
Sappers are only useful during sieges against walls. Not much combatwise other than that. Also, Wight-foots are for ambush.

Did we get any more building options for level 2?

Come to think of it, what ARE our building options anyway?

>>18088018
Sappers dig ambush holes, pikers well, pike things.

>>18088033
wights have a natural foolamancer to hide. > holes

>>18088018

That's thinking inside the box.
That's not going to win us any wars.

>>18088024

Honestly? Anything endeavor you can set up, "buildings" are just popping structures to go along with them that sometimes translate to a mechanical benefit. You don't quite have room for something like a stables for mounts to pop yet, but you will on level 3. When that's built you can arrange for them to pop there.

>>18088051
What about a banjo dance hall to improve morale?

We have a big farm in the city, 5 farms outside, a training field, a library, and a mine far from Rodrom.

>>18088051
.... I wonder if we can set up, in the future, some kind of airship... Massive amounts of units can be stored inside, and deployed in a full turn action, etc....

Would that require us to make say... Some kind of lab? Factory?

>>18088071

With lots of magic and the right resources you might could.

>>18088066

Something like that could be added anytime, absolutely.

>>18088043
You see, the idea is that you let the enemy fall into a pit and stab them from relative safety.

This causes confusion and takes out entrenched targets on the battlefield behind the font lines, while putting a great combat unit in an optimal position for a pincer attack.

Wight-Foots are ok and all, but they aren't the best combat option we have. Hell, they aren't even the best scout option we have. I'm thinking they are better used for sabotage/spy missions than anything else.

So, ending turn in the Swamp with our queue as:

-Warlord
-2 Highlanders
- ~5 Woof Hounds
- ~1 stack of Wight Foots

>>18088106
the best thing we have is the swamp. All units spawned at Rodrom are swamp capable. Enemy units aside from flyers aren't. Wight-foots can hide as a stack, a hole isn't hidden and defiantly not offensive. Wights can be offensive and get the jump on the enemy and are more mobile than a unit stuck in a hole costing us upkeep. A dirtamancer would be very nice.

Yes.

>>18088071
we need a tunnel network for easy and out-of-sight travel to key locations, like the mines, for instance.

In fact, we should set that up now, maybe even get an underground railroad for our captured wagon trains. That way we don't have to blow so much man-power to get the gems back.

>>18088143
exchange wights for archers.

>>18088175
>>18088169

So another stack of archers instead. Turn end?

>>18088174
no tunnels in the swamp. It's a good thing really. A tunnel side can use it to sidestep our defenses. We only have spidews that are good at tunnels.

>>18088194
1 stack archers and one wights, then end turn.

>>18088165
That's why you don't dig the hole until you see the enemy.

Sappers can dig as far as they have manpower, give them a stack or two and they can easily get 10 hexes a turn. In two turns or so we can have several stacks of pikemen (our best mass combat unit) right where we want them without expending juice, and without the enemy seeing what we are doing. With juice, this becomes absolute murder, of course.

>>18088224

Turn ends! Night falls, and you camp out with your Deamonic allies in the Swamps nearby. It isn't nearly as horrible as the time you were wounded from Cwoc rustling.

As dawn comes, the Hobgobwin's turn starts before yours. It takes off... 1d20.

rolled 14 = 14

>>18088262
oh bother, I hope this works.

rolled 13 = 13

>>18088262
Rolling!

>>18088272

It wings about a few times, seemingly confused as fuck, before making a beeline for the very heart of the swamp. Another Bwisp spots him passing overhead. He is roughly 30 moves or so from your capital, and aroughly 45-50 from the Gwiffs you are trying to capture. You could get him this turn, if you play your cards correctly.

>>18088290

Oh, and your turn.

>>18088290
Excellent......
>>use igaterc
If nothing else, we move out and go after them gwiffons! Capture and turn only.

>>18088297
oh! Turn summery?

>>18088290
Lets get on those gwiffs then.

>>18088319

You felt your units pop. It's likely that the Caravan will arrive next turn. In two turns the Warlord pops. Sometime this turn Liam and the Mining party return.

>>18088333

>333

Welp.

How do you want to approach this? Beat them into subdual and use Turnamancy? Jump on them and Turnamance? Some other trick?

>>18088343
ask the demons we have with us.

>>18088353
Even Better!

Ask the units that Halston picked for us! Make the magic happen, maybe they can do something like tame the savage beasts with music, or something else we haven't thought of.

>>18088387
demons have natural turnamancy. They're the experts here. The units are just good with riding mounts, not taming.

>>18088387
For some reason i'd thingk dance fighting (Montage specialty) would be exceptionally good at taming wild animals and training.

>>18088353

You consult the Daemons on how you can pull this off. Abigail thinks that it would be easiest to creep up on them and turn them while they were sleeping. Another Daemon says that if it doesn't work you can try to turn the Megalogwiff first and the others will follow if you can subdue it.

>>18087674
So, what is the move on a Spidew?

>>18088411
go with that advice.

>>18088411
...Thats an excellent idea, to turn the large one....

Lets do that, and sneak attack em.

>>18088387

The units Halston picked lack the move to reach them. Once nabbed the Gwiffons can pick up their riders, if you pull it off.

>>18088407

Dance fighting is always a viable tactic. Always.

>>18088430
Go with the demons. Make the megalogwiffen buck like a bronco

>>18088415

Variable. Can't recall what my first answer was, but expect high teens to low 20's.

>>18088424
>>18088417

Oh boy... 2d20, fingers crossed.

rolled 16, 4 = 20

>>18088470
I'll do it.

rolled 18, 7 = 25

>>18088470
Should we be using spurs?

>>18088051
Can we set up a brewery?

Some bathtub gin or Moonshine could be useful. Or it could just be nice to give to the troops for their recreation time.

>>18088487
>>18088491
not sure which is better....

>>18088523

Viable, but will take time. Popping alcoholic beverages from your treasury is easier, though costs Schmuckers.

>>18088487

You slip in completely undetected, quiet Cwoc cutting through the water with silent wing beats in your shadow. The Gwiffons in the trees have no clue you were there. You climb up into the leaves and branches where the Gwiffon pack is nested. The big marshmallow monsters slumber restfully, and you quickly spot the biggest one. An armored Megalogwiff hangs like some giant fruit, bending the tree it sits in.

Looking over at the demons, you nod, then take a flying leap... right into it's marshmallow body, backwards. Oh shit! It begins to stir for some strange reason.

Roll 1d100 for emergency Turnamancy!

rolled 13 = 13

>>18088592
Ohshitsdon'tletthisbebad

>>18088606
...were screwed.

>>18088606
low and the number 13. way to go.

>>18088606

The Turnamancy is sabotaged by the Megalogwiff tumbling out of the tree due to your added weight, and it's wings stretch out and begin beating as it falls. The two of you shoot up into the sky, Daemons in hot pursuit. Shit!

What's the plan?

>>18088637
demons and everybody pile on and bring it down.

>>18088645
stack up and engage.

rolled 55 = 55

>>18088637
Take control and break it! There is more than one way tame a beast!

>>18088659
>>18088654
>>18088645

You struggle vigorously, but to little gain! The Megalogwiff is engaged by the stack of Daemons! Abigail calls out orders to take down the wings and force it down.

2d20

rolled 16, 2 = 18

>>18088702
ROLLING! OH TITANS LET IT BE HIGH!

>>18088707

A Daemon takes the Megalogwiff in the wing as another pops it directly in the head they force the thing to land. The Turnamancy is attempted once more!

1d100

rolled 46 = 46

>>18088723
LET IT BE SO TITANS!

>>18088727

Some progress may be made... but the Gwiffons are rapidly approaching, having been woken by the battle.

2d20, then you can roll again to finish things if it goes well.

rolled 18, 10 = 28

Rolling once again, FOR THE TITANS!

rolled 10, 17 = 27

>>18088740
By the Titans will may they be stopped

>>18088755

The Gwiffons are kept at bay by half of the Daemons. Roll 1d100

rolled 85 = 85

>>18088764

rolled 21 = 21

>>18088764
If the Titans will it, let us have VICTORY!

rolled 70 = 70

>>18088764
come on 99

>>18088773

Great success. The Megalogwiff shifts over to your side, and you are pushed up and out onto it's back. As their stack shifts the Gwiffons pause in confusion, giving your Daemons another opportunity.

1d100

>>18088777

>777

You haunt me.

>>18088773
thank you for rolling before me.

rolled 92 = 92

>>18088801
One final roll Titans... Let it be SO!

>>18088825
woo

>>18088825
nicely done

>>18088825

The Gwiffons shrug: if you can't beat 'em, join em.

The win is yours thanks again to Turnamancy.

>>18088825
Thank the Titans!

>>18088832
Get all filthy landwalkers airborne and after the scout. Capture to interigate.

Now then, time to go find us a hob!

>>18088859
capture?

Perhaps that is to strong of a word, perhaps we should "invite" it.

At any rate, it should be in Look-a-mancer distance. how is Smythe doing?

>>18088859

You fly back to your walls, and before you arrive the Daemons run out of move. Liam and the others are back from the mine. They bring you up their haul of gemstones.

+1000 Schmuckers

Who do you take on the assault against the scout?

rolled 2, 5, 3, 5 = 15

>>18088886
wait, why did we head back to the walls and not just straight after the scout with our force?

>>18088876

Smythe is alright. He's awake, Lucid, and spying on everybody. The Hobgobwins appear to be beating the coalition. Doomenor appears to be staying out of the war. The southern lands are sending barbarian mercenaries, but they will likely be too late.

Almost thirty Charlescomm Archons are hanging around...

>>18088899

Because the units who were going to mount the Gwiffons did not have the move to reach the Gwiffons, so you had to leave them behind.

>>18088886
Have Liam boost the demons so they can move. Whisper leads archers on gwiffons with Highlander and Shang-High Bill. Foolamancer hides you until you attack so you can get the drop on him.

Frank
Demons
Gwiffons
Whisper
Highlander
Archers

rolled 3, 5, 3, 3 = 14

>>18088930
we are going after a single hob, and maybe some cwocs... do we need everyone, unless were trying to level em....


WE NEED TO BUILD A NURSERY/BREEDING HOUSE FOR SUCH THINGS AS CWOCS!

>>18088913
Ok Smythe, we need to focus on the scout, we need to know what we are going at.

Then worry about those Archons. do they see us?

What can Shang-Low-Bill cook up for a cover?

>>18088955
that's level 3. We capture wild ones like the gwiffons now.

>>18088930

There are only 3 Gwiffons with you, thus allowing only 3 infantry to help you out. Liam says he thinks he could reach the Daemons with magic from here, but it will take a lot of juice since they can't quite land. You can fit Whisper, a Highlander, and an Archer, or change up who you take.

It is likely that you already are using more force than will be required though.

rolled 1, 4, 4, 1 = 10

>>18088987
Whisper, a highlander, and Abigail.

Were mounting a flying unit to a flying mount. Because why not.

>>18088987
can't like a whole stack ride a megalogwiffon? They're the size of blimps.

>>18088956

The Archons are just hanging around west of Doomenor watching and waiting.

Shang-Low-Bill thinks he can veil you if you want to ambush the Hob.

Does Halston have any more insight?

>>18088987
Whisper and he high lander along with Shang Low bill so at least he wont run away immediately

rolled 3, 3, 3, 4 = 13

>>18089005
its our turn, we dont need the veil unless we cannot make it back.

Or if we expect to be ambushed.

>>18088999
Liam boost the demons or try to
Frank, Whisper, Highlander under Bill's veil.

>>18089012
veil give us surprise boost. what to roll for Liam's magic OP?

>>18088998

They can hold something like 25 in their body sticking out. Your archers will be limited in how they can aim and fire if you do that though.

>>18088999
Ok here is the plan:

Shang-Low-Bill disguises us as a natural unit ( I am guessing everyone knows when it isn't their turn, so no "ally" disguise), that is how we sneak up on him. Then we see if we can get some info. Find out what he is up to and who he works for.

Then we capture him and his mount, if it's worth the risk.

>>18089026
Do it.
Frank
Whisper
Archers
Highlander
Demons, if Liam's magic works
All veiled by Shang-Low-Bill

rolled 3, 3, 5, 5 = 16

>>18089026
I forget the mehanics of casters leveling.... Is it through casting? Kills?

>>18089035
We can interrogate at our leisure if he's captured. Why risk our Foolamancer?

>>18089048
Shang-Low-Bill doesn't have to be in our hex to disguise us, IIRC.

He can hang back at home.

>>18089001

Halston thinks the Hobgobwin is relates to things in only a small way, a literal harbinger of things to come.

>>18089019

1d100

>>18089005
>>18089013

You can always bring Bill along, otherwise he can't Veil you.

>>18089047

Casting raises magical ability. Killing boosts stats and level.

>>18089070
exactly, that guy was talking about sending him

>>18089048
Oh, and if we capture one of the big guys units, they may come looking for us, I get the idea that most of you don't want that kind of thing to happen.

At any rate, is Smythe in charge of our bwisps yet?

>>18089070

He must be in the stack.

rolled 12 = 12

>>18089078
is juice refilled each turn?

>>18089090
So then revised.

Frank
Whisper
Archers
Shang-Low-Bill
Highlander, if he can fit

>>18089100

Yes.

>>18089112

He can.

>>18089078
Well crap, now we have to investigate him.

Bring Bill, and have that Highlander guard him like a fat kid protecting his donuts. We need to be extra careful about this encounter.

rolled 47 = 47

>>18089128
From now on, before we end a turn as long as we dont expect to be attacked, we have all of our casters use all the juice they have.

>>18089138
Have them use it by boosting the defenses of the airspace. Like in the comic.

rolled 39 = 39

>>18089153
Works well.

Been rolling 1d50's by the way, dont know why honestly.....

rolled 20 = 20

>>18089128
here's for LIam's magic

>>18089153
Isn't that highly visible?

Can't we think of more specialized things for them to burn juice on? Stuff that might get their power up faster?

>>18089153
>>18089138
>>18089133

Okay, here's how I have the stack:

-Whisper, Bill, and the Highlander are mounted because they are a Warlord, Caster, and Knight Class unit respectively and so can ride mounts.
-A stack of archers carried by the Megalogwiff
-The Daemons escort you if Liam rolls well.

Is this correct?

>>18089174
no, it's the best use considering our main weakness is an airforce.

rolled 29 = 29

>>18089187
if liam fails his roll, we take our warlord demon with us in the gwiff.

>>18089187
yes

>>18089203

Liam only manages a partial fix, they'll make it only half-way to their destination.

Abigail can be stuck in the Megalogwiff, though she seems to dislike the idea of being carried in the sticky critter's flesh.

>>18089221
Promise Abigale some of our first brew from the brewery in compensation.

Sometimes we just have to make due with what we can.

>>18089221
then don't take her and go with what you had before

>>18089221

We probably don't need to bring her along. Ansom was level ten and it didn't take this much force to capture him.

>>18089258
Oh come now, Ansom was thinking with the head in his pants during that encounter.

>>18089258
>>18089251
>>18089242

You take off, quickly bearing down on the Hobgobwin with your Bwisps showing you the way.

How will you approach him? Will you hail him from a distance, sneak up on him, or simply croak him?

rolled 22 = 22

>>18089340
Capture, we want to turn him so we can make more gobs.

>>18089340
sneak up using veil. Capture and throw him in the dungeon where the demons can get to work on him.

>>18089340
Who does he work for? That will be the key factor.

>>18089371

He appears to be working for the invaders battling the western cities.

>>18089355

So you're going to sneak up under a veil, grab him off his mount, and force it to accompany you back next turn?
>>18089350

>>18089402
yes.

>>18089402
Any chance we can mask this capture as the opposing faction?

I know turns make such a thing a bit iffy, but I have a feeling a scout is going to be monitored somehow.

>>18089446
We have a foolamancer, we should, but we're veiled for the first part, so invisible.

>>18089432
>>18089446

So you're going to sneak up on him, then pretend to from be someone else's side?

1d100

>>18089446
Since they use scouts they probably need reports so as long as we get him before a report can be made were good, and since he's going off his normal route and into a dangerous swamp (natural megalogwiffs is pretty dangerous) theyll probably assume he was croaked by a natural unit.

rolled 98 = 98

>>18089473

>>18089487
ha ha!

>>18089487

You pretend to be a flock of birds. The Hobgobwin doesn't figure out that anything is amiss until Countess Whisper's Gwiffon grabs up his head in it's gummy body.

As his mount looks up surprised, you switch the veil around, revealing yourselves in the livery of the side wearing white and gold, and the archers sticking out of the side of your Megalogwiff knock arrows with clear meaning. You pop a pair of cuffs on your prisoner, a chain on the Gwiffon, and this likely represents the end of your turn unless you have production to set.

Do you?

>>18089543
A brewery?

Oh wait, can we make some naturals yet, perhaps a flyer or two?

And make the casters blow their load.

>>18089561
sounds good.

>>18089543
we need infantry It's all nice until we get a full stack of units with a warlord and caster that come to us for destroying transports and scouts that get near the swamp. So I say we aren't exactly poor so build up
15 woof hounds and 10 pikers so we can start properly getting cwocs and growlogators until we have a mounted unit with high move speed support.

>>18089585
>>18089561

You indicate, through Bwisps tailing you, that the Casters should cast, and so they do. They do... things. Horrible, but hilarious things.

You pop what should work as a brewery once it gets established.

You cannot build naturals other than the Daemons, who pop instantly.

>>18089619

15 Woofs and Pikers queued? Can do.

>>18089636
no! Too expensive.

>>18089619
do this then.
Woof-hounds are cheap. We can send out a mounted highlander to keep them in check.

>>18089636
We don't need this. It's just wasted upkeep. Our next goal is the frozen barbarian city so we can get steady income, then come the armies.

>>18089654
>>18089644

Do you agree on two stacks of Woof Hounds?

>>18089691
NO! Build nothing. We need nothing but mounts and woof hounds don't mount.

>>18089696
>>18089681
>>18089654
>>18089644

In that case we shall just end turn?

Don't build any units. We're going after cwocs and the unclaimed city. The city we don't even need to capture just meet with them.

>>18089703
yes.

>>18089681
We need forces to secure the keep, and the trade routes between.

>>18089696
dude we need units with high move to get mounts consistently or else we just sit around getting 1 or 2 cwocs a turn this is all about taking advantage of the fact that we just got 1000 schmuckers and quickly gaining mounts and units that move with them hen we can raid within 5 or 6 turns to cover costs.

>>18089719
after we reach level 3 we can spawn cwocs. We do that with money. Money we get from the mining city we're going to meet with.

Roll or vote, I care not.

>>18089743
you mean the mining city we are chancing on low level diplomacy when we could just build an army and take over especially considering we mightve just pissed off the hobs

>>18089757
The hobs aren't the mining city. our Date-a-mancer confirmed that we just need to free them from frozeness to get them to like us.

>>18089767
The hobs are the people who might believe enemy reinforcements are in the swamp since we just took out a scout in enemy vestment.

>>18089767
We still need units to send at them.

And some highly-mobile hounds are great for fast and cheap backup, when and if they get attacked.

>>18089789
>>18089796
We aren't at war. The Hob was from the caravan we attacked. From Rigger. Hounds don't help us get the Mining City in any way

We just got gwiffons. We're going to be riding those out to the Barbarian city next turn. Why do we need hounds? Just to pop something? A waste.

I thought we needed to raise an entire army, why waist time not popping things?

>>18089848
because economics. And unit we'll pop later with a better city will be better than cheap units now.

>>18089816

There seems to be some confusion: you are mimicking the livery of the guards from the caravan, the Hobgobwin is not of that side.

I shall leave the queue empty.

The Hobgobwin protests loudly when he is allowed to come for air, and as you camp you can hear him from over on your Megalogwiff.

>>18089848
Not an army a raiding force. A Highlander in every stack, pikers, and archers. Some wights to ambush. Cwocs as needed.

>>18089870
End turn. Next turn, bring him to dungeon and let demons get to work. See what's in wagons and send them to the mines. Have lookamancer check out mining city. Head there on gwiffons with Frank, Foolamancer, and Dateamancer if there's enough move.

>>18089870
Fine
No units.
Interrogate the hob.

>>18089872
that's why you build hounds since they have a high move and a low upkeep to easily take out lightly defended positions and return to the swamp without worrying about being cut off by a stack plus the upkeep can be covered mostly by hunting cwocs which can also level whisper and ourself

>>18089907
It's over. Bad exchange rate on schmuckers vs. Fighting power. They'd need a warlord anyway.

>>18089902
>>18089898

You ask the Hob what is going on. He laughs and tells you that you and your allies are falling to the might of the Khan, as you were warned would happen unless you disarmed the city and payed tribute as you were told twenty turns ago.

"Soon, the Khan's Knights will be at your city gates. I am his emissary, and I come seeking those who have not heard of our coming."

>>18089921
depends on the rate at which they can kill cwocs and the experience gained by this but it can wait until another turn I guess.

>>18089933
end turn.

>>18089961

Turn did end. It is night time.

>>18089966
Interrogations!

>>18089966
So... next turn?

>>18089966
OP?

I wonder if his internet died again.

>>18089974

This is OP. I think I need to change Internet companies, my modem is fucking up. I am on iPhone.

Shall we continue?

>>18090296
if you feel like it. We're on to next turn waiting for you.

>>18090296
YES

>>18090296

Technically it's the middle of the night, but if you have no response to the Hobgobwin then turn can start.

>>18090350
um. yep. We are those guys. Do you communicate with the Khan directly or do you have to report back to him?

Posting from iPhone is not suiting my purposes. I think I'll call it for tonight, we can finish tomorrow, same time.

>>18090469
cool. hope it works

Any one care to archive this?

An hour later and my modem stops being retarded. Ah well. Here to answer questions, thread will be tomorrow, yes.
