Manifest Destiny

[Retech]

The scathe hold their position, and defend the back rows, where a juggernaught is quickly formed. More Scathe burst out behind the city guard and attempt to infect them.

 

The first wave of city guards is quickly taken down (did you want to mind control or kill?). Unfortunately, you realise the industrial quadrant was the dilapilated quadrant, and that more powerful waves will come soon. The juggernaught is formed.

 

wait i think i have it. change my action to i send my greens to regrow the land behind the dodos. if this dont work, then i am screwed.

 

The Dodo supply train becomes stronger, and more reinforcements come through, munching happily on the newly regrown land. They send a second wave up, which ravages your vassals land, but they do not go further.

[Earth]

... damnit man. youve just screwed me even further. your hint, as you put it, was a suicide manouvre. i do some bombing runs, and set fire to the newley grown land.

[Earth]

EdIT!: i ranted like an [wagon], and i didnt pay attention. all i said here was my fault.

The fire is incredibly successful (19) and cuts off the Dodos from their homeland. They look incredibly frightened, because there isn't much food left for them to eat. They charge in two more waves and break through your first line of defences, controlling the foothills of your mountain, giving them food for three more actions. (5 actions of food remaining)

[Earth]

[cabbage].. okay im so going to edit that damn post. sorry dude, i wasnt paying attention ( if you kill me for that post, i will NOT blame you.) i try to hold out, and set fire, or posion, or do anything i can to sabotage the food suplies of the dodos.

[Retech]

No problem, but as a tip, when I send ridiculously large armies at people, there's generally a way to defeat them, which I hint at in the posts.

 

 

 

 

The elementals tell you that the food supplies seem to be pretty protected, and that the best thing you can do is either wait it out, or destroy your own land to deprive them of extra food.

 

The Dodos call for reinforcements to put out the fire. They will arrive next turn. (4 actions of food left)

[Earth]

yeah. i thought it was something about population, but i guess i wasnt that far off. i try to use the greens acid to devour any protections the dodos could have, and send the reds to watch over the fires ( renew them) i set the others to either help keep the fire up, or to mess with the food suplies of the enemies.

[Seraphi]

The scathe retreat into buildings, and will ambush the next waves, and infect them. The juggernaught will crash through a wall near the entrance and infect as many as possible with the needle burst.

 

(Mind control. I generally say infect, since I'm kind of modelling my race on the flood from Halo.)

[Earth]

ross. if your gonna make a flood race, then make the infection forms. i love those dang things. also there is a crazy idea that i had. a flood campaign for halo 3.,

Many of your elementals work on trapping the dodos into their little corner and keeping up the fire. Unfortunately, as a result, many of the fortifications are unmanned and the dodos consume another 1/4th of your space, leaving you 1/4th of the mountain. They have gained another actions worth of foodies. (4 actions)

The next wave is caught off guard (again) and brainwashed. You have 200 city guards in golden alloy armor at your disposal. Unfortunately, they have caught on to your tricks, and you hear the crackle of burning firewood.

[Earth]

i thought i meant the specials?! i left the regualrs to defend, and the vassals. again, i try to acidify the food supllies, freeze some dodos, blow away the food (yellows) keep up the fire(reds) and blind or suffocate the enemies(light and darks.

[Seraphi]

The Scathe go off teh defensive, and attempt to swarm the enemy defenses. The juggernaught is dismantled and converted to five needlers to act as ranged infection, while the rest of the spores form into a wave to try to overwhelm them. The controlled guards are sent first, to exhaust archer ammunition and lower morale.

[Earth]

hoi ross, dint you say the juggernaughts fire needles for infection?

[Seraphi]

Yes, but right now I'd rather have numbers than quality.

[Earth]

meh. right.

Your advisors give you an estimated head count of the enemy: 15,000 Dodos remaining. Your attacks kill roughly a hundred, leaving 14,900. They throw themselves against your fortifications and breach through, though only a few can get into hand to hand combat at a time. Your elementals are fiercesome, and deliver 900 casualties, while receiving 5 casualties. (I think you have... 70 left)

Your spores form into a giant wave, which charges forward until it slams into a solid gold wall which appears in an instant. Your advisors think that it was the work of a god, specifically skilled in the ways of defence. The god seems incapable of using damaging attacks, though you'll still have to find a way around the golden walls closing you in to the quadrant you've taken.

[Earth]

okay, i attempt to make a barier of lethal shade around the breach. then i try to give my men temporary spears of light, crafted from the breath of the white dragons. (also, the whites are healers. greens are best with growing things, thus they can use conventional herbs with better efficiency. but the whites can heal with magic. sorry bout the random updates, im trying to kink out the original properties that i gave them, but forgot to assign when i posted the desc.)

i also attempt to heal any wounded people ( vassals or dragons) bomings are continued to discourage attacks.

[Seraphi]

The scathe send several dozen of the mind controlled beings to hit the wall and pretend they're not infected. They scream to be let out before they are caught and "Turned into on of them."

 

If the walls are lowered, the wave attack formation shall continue with needlers as ranged support. If it fails, The Scathe begin dissolving the ground underneath the wall so they can pass under it.

The dodos bust through the remaining barriers and ravage your town. Your elementals fight gallantly, but many are forced to retreat (leaving you fifty). The casualties on the Dodo side are also severe, leaving them 12,000.

 

They are still, however, trapped on the mountain. (3 actions of food left).

[Earth]

... man. i dont think the dice like me. any special casualtys? i try to take all of the vassals a dragon back, leaving the dodos to starve and die.

The walls are not lowered, and your Scathe begin dissolving the ground beneath. As they dig several feet down, the wall still seems to continue downwards.

You rolled a lot of 10s, but your strategy wasn't that prepared. There were tens of thousands of dodos, you can't win in a straight fight.

 

--

 

The remaining dodos run through the fire, leaving many with terrible burns. They will take one action to recuperate (they also lost five thousand soldiers) before starting to chase you again. Your casualties were all around, meaning you have the same ratio of specials to normals as before.

[Earth]

kay. thats 6 specials. damnit, i didnt do a straght fight, i tried to make a barier out of choking mists. i atempt the set fire to the dodos, and acid them. thank god there arent that many left. i also try to send a rolling cloud of shade death and blinding light to kill the dodos(light makes them run into the shade) and freze them, piss em off with gusts, and do other harasing and killing things.

[Seraphi]

The Scathe pray to Incabulos to dissolve the wall.

[Grim_]

(how did the roll on my god go?) The Kinder Gotten train with bows and arrows and continue research/ construction of a temple.

[Retech]

The Scathe pray to Incabulos to dissolve the wall.

 

Incabulos takes pity on you, despite your lack of favor tribute, and makes minute holes in the golden wall. It might be hard to get all your Scathes over at the same time, and it's expected many will die when trying to get past the guards after popping out of the wall.

 

-Earth

 

Your elementals fail to do much damage to the Dodos (4) and they begin advancing towards you.
