[Cyphermancer]

Your infantry stacks switch side and all your archers stacks move to the move to the east wall.


Updating my battle system and making final notes round 1 will begin shortly.

[_Wiz_]

Exciting. Can’t wait!

[Cyphermancer]

Until she spots a single darf riding a goat it. The goat has enter from the west side. Riding hard for the southern edge of the wall.

Harley slowly smiles "(Thank you for the free kill) Dee Hoboken the Dorf" she says calmly as she begins to weave an Energy Shot (Electricity) and also fires it at the Dorf

EDIT: "Krippen! Can you see them now in the East?? Charge your Disk if you can!" she repeats

[_Wiz_]

”Hmmm I feel like we’re being tested... well let’s see how tough these dorfs are. Dee join me and hit him with a Hoboken” Harley declares as she begins to gather her juice. Forming her juice in to a rough ball the Shockamancer begins converting it in to electricity before launching it at great speed straight towards the charging dorf. The bolt of lightning would hopefully vaporise the foolish dorf on the spot.


- Harley Energy shot (Electricity) on Dorf Rider.
- Dee Hoboken on Dorf Rider.

[SomeGuy411]

A test all right. unless they have foolamancy we arent aware of or some kind of detpack its just a probe. lets keep our forces concentrated to the areas our intel said they're coming from for now

[Cyphermancer]

Dee and Harley both begin to focus drawing on thier juice. Dee sends her hoboken out slightly before Harleys own energy shot. Dee blast hits the goat dead center almost tearing it in half. Harleys own blast goes through the hole Dees own blast had created taking the Darf right the chest frying the poor rider. Harley thinks she smells burt hair from her post on top of the tower

As the round nears its end entering from the west Harley sees the two stacks enter of large Antz! Its hard to see from the tower but four of the antz look slightly larger than the other ( not heavies just bigger) The antz make for the city barely breaking stride.

W83. Assuming antz come and climb up West Gate into West Walls zone. Can archers at East Wall fire onto Antz in West Wall?

W84. Assuming antz climb down from West Walls down to "Garrison, West Gate". Can archers at East Wall fire onto Antz in "Garrison, West Gate"?

No to both maybe with better walls right now the buildings in the city block the line of sight

[WurmD]

W85. Does top of North Walls have line of sight to top of West Walls?

[Cyphermancer]

W85. Does top of North Walls have line of sight to top of West Walls?

Not enough to be very effective so no

[WurmD]

W86. We're in a lvl 2 city, with a dedicated build slot to walls. What are the known options to getting better walls (for the future)?

I have an idea for next level walls will have to wait and see.

[WurmD]

W87. Are Pudgies faster, or they take 1 round to cross a city zone as well?

[Cyphermancer]

W87. Are Pudgies faster, or they take 1 round to cross a city zone as well?

Yes pudgies are faster we will say that they can cross a city zone and still act in the same round or cross two zones in one round. We will add that same effect to quadrapeds as well ( makes sense mounts and woofs would be faster in battle than infantry but only if thier the only ones in the stack.)

[WurmD]

Are the Antz semi-humanoids? Or just big ants?

[_Wiz_]

Question: When a unit is Uncroaked in combat does it gain an action that same combat round?

[WurmD]

- Dee Uncroak Goat with 25J (not full power)
- Goat attempt to run to North and then East zone
- Tower Pudgie flyes straight line from us at Antz, but banks up when near to stay out of Embar's Firebreath range
- Harley fires Fireblast (self Juice) parallel to Pudgie

[Cyphermancer]

Just big antz


Question: When a unit is Uncroaked in combat does it gain an action that same combat round?


Uncroaked are pretty slow getting to thier feet you think any uncroaked would need the rest of the round to get to thier feet

[Cyphermancer]

Dee casts uncroaking the goat she had just ended. As pudgie A flys out of the tower heading for the west wall. As the goat gets to its feet antz stack 2 decends on the uncroaked dusting it. They also seem to tear into the slain darf. Antz stack 1 rushes the wall arriving just at the edge of the walls. Harley again drawing on her own juice hits antz stack 1 with a fire blast head on damaging the front rank but not dropping any. The antz seem to have some resistance to fire.

From the North comes three stacks of darfs. Two full melee stack. That seem to be carrying some climbing gear and one stack with four melee and 4 crossbowmen.

The East army consists of eight full stacks. The first stack is the darf chief mounted on a large ram ( heavy), a knight on a hobby horse, and six more darfs mounted on goats. The second stack seems to be warlord Breach mounted on his large bull. Four minotaurs up front. Three archers make up the rest of the stack. The third stack is five melee darfs, one stabber, and two pikers. This stack seems to be sticking very close to Breaches stack. The last five stack are a mix of melee and crossbow darfs.

He is I am listing the mount under to keep better track of HP and other effects. Listed the same way the other units are.

[WurmD]

> (Garrison, East Gate)

Please confirm units next to Walls are considered inside Garrison zone

EDIT
there are 45 dorf warriors and 24 dorf crossbowers. Not the 40 / 20 we scouted.

Retcon that? Or scouting around 6 hexes from the sky missed some?

Question: As there are 8 units in a stack can 1 Fireblast from the tower be targeted at 4 units and another Fireblast be targeted at the other 4 units in the same stack in the same combat round?

Fire blast
Range: same hex
Juice: 25
Duration: instant
Casting time: 1 round
Advanced shockamancy spell. Area effect blast can hit up to four targets in one stack. (At random or screeners first) Attack roll of combat+ caster level vs defense. A miss deals half damage. Deals 1d6+ ½ caster level. This spell deals fire damage.

And you can only target one spell per stack from the tower a round.

[Cyphermancer]

[QUOTE=WurmD;24401833]> (Garrison, East Gate)

For simplicity yes they are in the garrison. Way im looking at it is the ladders are spaced out. And takes time to get to and down.

EDIT

The numbers are right.
