    6 health, 5 soldiers

    Does the princess count as a Kingdom unit, such that if she's on the same area she started on, then she gets nuked, too?

    Yes

    Okay ... So, if we don't want her to get hammered, she's got to make it off the Ice Lord's starting tile. Which means she needs to move for each of her actions.

    She's currently out of resources with <=5 soldiers, depending on how much damage we apply to them. We could kill all the soldiers with that damage, which means she could book it, but that puts her near to the Emperor with no support and a well-provisioned, aggressive enemy general.

    So, basically, that is going to result in us losing the game, so we can't let her go that far, which means we need her to be able to survive the nuke, which means we can't assign too much damage to her.

    So, uh .. Shit? Help?

    If someone sits on the ice lord spawn point she can be forced to go through the necromancer fields instead. I can move up there next turn. It's 7 squares instead of 6 to goal but we might be able to make it

    Yeah, and then they'd get nuked.

    @MrBody

    Okay, lacking any other input ... 2 health damage to the Princess, wipe out her soldiers. We'll need to heal her once this turn so she can survive the nuke.

  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    Alright.

    @elvenshae for final hero replacement choice and spawning location?

  • ElvenshaeElvenshae Registered User regular
    I'll take the elven king and start on the angry twin's place.

    Map
    73VnkZn.jpg
    Enemies with red backgrounds are aggressive, and will begin moving towards the nearest kingdom hero 1 space per turn as soon as one enters within a 1 area range.
    Blue background: defensive, will never move.
    White: Will move only to attack adjacent kingdom hero.

    Remember you must pause and draw a fate card the first time a character moves into the same area or adjacent space as an empire general (exceptions: Black Knight, King of the Abyss, Emperor).

    Empire Generals

    Dormas 2/5 health

    Fate:
    Ice Lord - Bane of the Capital - As long as this character is on the map, the princess will now move towards this character instead of the Capital (highest priority).

    Kingdom Heroes
    GxFE8in.jpg
    Donia 1/4 health
    Princess 3/5 health


    Allies
    Zyne: (Black Drake) May spend 3 supply to add 4 dice once per battle.


    Cards
    (Zyne) Master's Armor- ongoing: Gain 1 die when defending
    (Godfried) Balanced Weapons- Gain 1 battle die.


    Resources

    Elf King: 10 (Elvenshae)
    Josephine: 1 (Phyphor)
    Donia: 5 (Daemonis)
    Annelie: 1 (Preda)

    Turn 5
    Event (Stage II)

    Ancestral Weapon: At the end of the round, all kingdom units on the area on which the princess started the round suffer 5 damage each.

    I believe @phyphor is first player this turn.

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    @MrBody 4 ex undead troops should have attacked Zyne. Also, female twin should respawn next to the brother (specific exe still elvenshae choice or already Phyphor one as new first player?)

  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    Oh right. It's Phyphor's choice.

    @AustinP0027 to roll for combat

    6 soldiers plus 1 defensive die

    Geth, roll 7d6t4 for defend the leftovers

    Edit: Whew. 4 hits, so all soldiers are dead.

    defend the leftovers:
    7d6t4 4 [7d6t4=4, 1, 3, 6, 4, 4, 2]

    Aside: one of the empire characters not being used this game is a female android, forgotten from an ancient war and left waiting in an isolated forest for her master.

    US OLD FOLKS are going to assume this is a reference to Mieu from Phantasy Star III.

    Every play of this since I picked it up she's right next to a character that can defeat / recruit her more or less immediately. It's made things a lot easier than the set-up you guys are working against.

    I can't really see any reason to spawn her anywhere except on the north hex, unless zyne wants to attack her?

    Options this round
    1) I suicide on the ice lord's start to redirect the princess to the necromancer tile
    2) We give the princess supplies to move 3x - this would require also sending a whole bunch of troops so she doesn't immediately die anyway and would get attacked by lyla

    We can't let the princess tank it as the two events kill her outright from full

  • AustinP0027AustinP0027 Registered User regular
    Feels like we need to send her a bunch of stuff to have her move. I don't know that you suiciding makes a ton of sense (at least, I don't think so)

    She's guaranteed to become an ally, but her ability is one of the weakest ones (+1 die) until you self destruct her.

    Now the emperor's daughter, THAT is an outstanding ally to get early.

    Toughest games are when the Black Drake starts right in front of the princess.

    Okay, we'll try moving her, but we need to ensue she ends up with zero resources after the moves

    Get a soldier and 5 R for free
    Gather 3 R
    Send princess a soldier and 8 R
    Move north

    Ok, which general are we killing next turn? If none, I'd leave Dorgas alive for this turn.

  • AustinP0027AustinP0027 Registered User regular
    I'm 14 resources from being able to attack Male Twin, so I don't see that happening this turn.

    Though, looks like we need to send Princess troops, so maybe I need to part with one or two troops to weigh her down?

  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    Oh, oops. Thought you were deciding among yourself. Card fetch tomorrow!

    Well that would have happened if a huge rainstorm didn’t flood my basement last night and make me throw everything onto pallets.

    Tonight!

    never liked living on flat land or in hollows... or on giant hillsides

    floods, or slides all the time.

    living on a hill, with a lake thats about 40 feet below our house line and about 800 feet away *thumbs up*
    good luck, @mrbody that's a helluva ordeal you got ahead of you.

    Good news is I'm only renting and it's mostly the landlord's problem! My only issue was having to set stuff out to dry and put everything else on pallets. Biggest trouble was a couple damp books I had to go through carefully separating the pages so they wouldn't dry glued together.

    So, what is the plan? 2 damage next turn will kill me, who is going to defeat whom? (I have a card which could help to reach an enemy, if needed).

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    We should kill Dorgas this turn (if you have the resources to attack him ) and the mad twin will suicide aganist us next one.

  • DaemonisDaemonis Registered User regular
    1. Recruit soldier
    2. Attack Dorgas (-4 resources) playing Charge!: Add 2 dice for this combat
    Geth roll 5d6 for attack

    attack:
    5d6 21 [5d6=6, 5, 4, 2, 4]

  • DaemonisDaemonis Registered User regular
    Lose 1 soldier, kill Dorgas.
    3. Send a card to Elf King

    @Preda

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    1.Move north to the town. -1R
    2.Recruit 1 soldier.
    3.Recruit another soldier.
    Free. Send both soldiers to the princess.

    Now she has 3 soldiers and 9 resources, so will move thrice and remain without resources.

    @AustinP0027

  • AustinP0027AustinP0027 Registered User regular
    Just to triple check, that means she's covered now and won't get nuked right?

    Because I have no resources, so can't do anything but collect or send.

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    She's covered. And you shuld at least get a card behiond collecting.

  • AustinP0027AustinP0027 Registered User regular
    Whoops, almost forgot.


    1. Get a Supply Card
    2. Collect Resources (+1)
    3. Collect Resources (+1)
    4. Collect Resources (+1)

    @NotoriusBEN

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    @MrBody for the card. Might be something that @AustinP0027 want to play immediately.
