Re: Arkum Game Thread
Order Bill home (after managing farm if he has not already done so) [Also collect the wood at the farm with hobby horse and wagons if we have the move to do so or Wurms suggestion of Krippen and his men carrying it]
Edit: our newly Uncroaked dire woof likely has the move to pull the wagon.
Once Bill and everyone is in the capital;
Summon Crud to join the discussion. ”Crud I realise you are out of move and can therefore not use fabrication for the turn but do you think if you had as many units as you need to help you and used the wood in our stores you could reinforce the city gates somewhat? It would only have to be a temporary reinforcement that lasts the turn...” Harley asks.Last edited by _Wiz_; 2020-03-12 at 06:18 AM.

"WoooooOooooOoh, really??" She exclaims slack jawed, "That's a much more efficient use for the rations than what we've doing so far! Awesome! 500s or 3 Rands tomorrow! No doubt about it!" She finishes beaming ^_^
EDIT:
Then she turns to everyone else, "Okay! We're all here, and have no more places to be this turn, so I think all of us with Move can pitch in and help barricade the gates under Crud's direction!" she bellows, and immediately sets the example by going to get a Wood unit with the help of one of the Woof soldiers.Last edited by WurmD; 2020-03-12 at 11:53 AM.

Re: Arkum Game Thread
A ration a rand? thats pretty nice. I wonder how much juice it costs to convert, if it does here.
Another question for herring-"You said half your pool....I don't suppose you could, say, make it so I personally can't miss with spells, but be entirely unable to hit with anything else for the rest of the turn? Also, if immunity causes vulnerability, could the inverse also be true? Could you make a unit vulnerable to something in exchange for resistance to other things? Would that be easier or harder than just making them immune?"

You start barricading both of arkums gates ( one on each road) the work is slowly and crud is obviously frustrated that it isnt going better. The wood is piled up against. You think it will add some hp to the gates but not alot.

Re: Arkum Game Thread
Herring
always hitting is more a form of luck or predictamancy than carny. It hard to explain its not immunity to archery its more your not a valid target for archery. ( only reason i did the arrows is because its in cannon) I could for example break the rule that says infantry cant fight from a mount, that a heavy cant be screened by a non heavy, that a heavy cant ride a monut, or that archers provoke when in melee combat.

Re: Arkum Game Thread
"Okay, I think we're almost ready to end turn." She declares thinking up if anything else needs doing
"Tower is full.." she says raising one finger
"Hammer is full.." while raising another finger
"Dee is to wait turn start next to portal.." third finger going up, but she pauses, looks at Dee and Herring "Lets recap the plan to see if it makes sense spoken out loud." she says with a small nod and frown "So Dee, since we expect you to be refreshed at dawn, and that might clear Herring's spell, you two agreed to be near our Portal before Dawn, so that Dawn comes, Dee yells 'I got Juice!' prompting Herring to cast, and then you run into the Portal and all the way to the top of the tower where I'll be waiting. Sound okay? Do you see any holes?" She then asks
"If you don't regain Juice at Dawn, then this (straightforward application of a barbarian's turn start ability) failed, and you don't want to wait until you get Juice (our own turn start), so you're to run here anyway, you'll have 4 combat rounds of Hoboken from the Hammer and 1 casting the Mass Uncroak scroll, yeah?"
"Which means, Herring, as soon as you see Dawn break, and thus your experience as a barbarian tells you your turn would have started if you were not with us, cast. No waiting for Dee's prompt."
"If we were in battle it would be:
- Round 1! Dawn breaks! Herring casts! Dee runs!
- Round 2!" She chants with a enthusiastic smile "we'll see how far Dee can run" she finishes with a wink- A book in the making: http://forums.giantitp.com/showthrea...-the-Barbarian Add to it! :D

Re: Arkum Game Thread
Alright
There are seven zones or areas of the city
North walls
East walls
West walls
South walls
Garrison
Tower bottom
Tower top
Decide where your troops will be stationed and stack order.
It will take atleast one round to move between zone. The gates are on the east and west walls. The top of the tower can see the entire. Ferals and heavies can not be moved on or off the walls quickly.Last edited by Cyphermancer; 2020-03-13 at 02:21 AM.

Re: Arkum Game Thread
Walls connected to each adjacent wall and to garrison
Garrison connected also to tower bottom
tower bottom also connected to tower top
What's our expectation of travel time in battle between portal room (tower bottom) to tower top?
What's our expectation of travel time in battle between tower top and Garrison (2 zone crossings) ?
And 3 zone crossings (Tower top to a wall section)?

If a unit takes no other action ( attacking, casting, ect) it take one full round to cross a zone. If the unit casts attacks ect it takes two round to cross a zone

I could make four scrolls if you dont want my juice for other options. However I should point out that My juice will be set to refresh at start of your turn otherwise. You may lose any buff I place on you.
Quadraped or heavies take take twice the time to cross the walls. Spwiders can move right down the walls.Last edited by Cyphermancer; 2020-03-13 at 06:47 AM.

Re: Arkum Game Thread
As the gates are barricaded, she claps Crud on the arm "It is what it is big man. If it stops 1 extra hit, and lasts 1 extra round, it will have been worth it."
Then Harley inspects the difference in the precarious stairs up to the wall battlements comparing to the hallway stairs of the tower that don't impede quadruped movement. "In a future turn, do you think we can make better stairs to the walls so that you and the Woofs can climb up and down as quickly as me?" she asks Crud and ponders it herself- A book in the making: http://forums.giantitp.com/showthrea...-the-Barbarian Add to it! :D

"Okay! So positionings! I think in the top of the tower we'll have:"
(Tower top)
Harley (front)
Dee (front)
Uncroaked Woof (front)
Krippen
Uncroaked Woof
Uncroaked Woof
Uncroaked Woof
Uncroaked Woof
"Krippen, having you with me maximises the caster's to hit. The front uncroaked woof will screen you. They have high Def plus they get +3 from you, +2 from Dee and +1 from Spike's CW bonus, and we'll cycle the damaged Woof each round. For the first few rounds you should also be firing your Ki blasts with us while you can. We shall see if we deal a decisive blow in the first 3 rounds"- A book in the making: http://forums.giantitp.com/showthrea...-the-Barbarian Add to it! :D

Re: Arkum Game Thread
A question for Herring: "Are you able to cast on non units? Say...removing the penalty for firing multiple shots in one round from the tower itself? It has it's own juice stores, and it's own spells, just waiting on orders to guide it, so in theory it should be doable..." A pause, then "Alternatively, would the penalty be applied to the directing unit, and could it be removed from me instead?"

Re: Arkum Game Thread
Are we following canon? In which the CWL bonus in-hex is half?
https://archives.erfworld.com/Book%202/12
In that link, Wanda's caster bonus to decrypted stacks with the Warlord's. So not conclusive for generic Croakamancer and Uncroaked. Perhaps in Book 0
EDIT: "And Wanda's Fellows did benefit from a powerful combination of bonuses when she and Tommy led them together. "

Re: Arkum Game Thread
I think its the focus of the caster not the limit of the tower. The caster is aiming at several targets in short order. So that not really a rule I could effect. This is where a luckamancer would thrive make half the shot hit and half miss. And I would advise not casting on towers. Tower are special building in a city. I have heard of great and scary results of actions like that. I could for example make it so you could target one stack with several shots from the tower. What I cant effect is why that rule is in place. I could just let the tower fire.

"Oy!?" Harley visibly perks up "Make it so I could target one stack with several shots from the tower?" She says almost visibly salivating at the idea, and with a glint in her eye that you can almost see the world burning behind them
She then shakes herself and focuses "One stack? One particular stack? Wouldn't you have to cast on that stack to make it so?
Or you mean casting on me, so that I have the option of releasing several tower blasts 1/stack normally OR release several blasts at a single stack, per combat round." She grills him

Thats a limit built into the tower a rule of the tower. So it would be cast on the tower
However i dont know why that rule is in place. How to explain this... Herring ponders for a moment then snaps his fingers
Alright aquatic units cant leave water hexes. This rule is in place. Because they will croak because they breath water. Now I could break the rule that allows the unit to leave the hex, but the unit would still croak because it cant breath. Understand I could break the rule that allows more than one shot on a stack. But if that rule is there for a reason....

Yes all units will have a +1/+1

Spike
The wall does extend below ground but not forever... no experience with sappers. But it seems they would have to come through the wall. If the dont have a tunneling special or something
