Another Erf-Game

[thaco4]

Side: Riddome
Preference : Mountainous area
Ruler: Poli King
Special C
My Level 1 City has the ability to produce:
600 Schmuckers per turn
-Nterns, Stabber Class (x2)
These soldiers are the backbone of Riddome's foot army.
They weld clipboards and sharpened Steel Scissors.
1 Turn,upkeep 30 each, HP 6, Attack 4, defense 2, Move 4
-Halparts, Piker Class (x2)
They really know how to follow in a line.
They weld halberds.
1 turn, Upkeep 20 each, HP 8, Attack 3, Defense 4, Move 3 Special- Dance fighting
-Jannes, Scout class (x1)
A stack of these is like a bag of Boop. Not very plesant but useful in an emergency.
A low level warlord or high level knight class unit will be able to tame these creatures.
They are very weak in battle but function as fine eyes and ears for the overlord who controls them.
1 turn, upkeep 30 each, HP 4, Attack 1, Defense 1, Move 8. Scout, Fly
-Vogs, Special C Class (x1)
These flying dogs of war have been trained to carry and defend their riders to the death.
Which makes them the perfect mount for warlords on the go.
4 turns, Upkeep 80 each HP 9, Attack 3, Defense 7, Move 8, Special- Fly, Mount

Thaco... Your units are not really made with the unit creation mechanism we thought of...

first, You can not add or change anything on your piker units and even if you could, dance fight is just too powerfull to use as a simple special.

Then, your Vogs use... (calculating) 16 points where 12 are allowed. In other words, too powerfull.

Here are my troops: (For those who know it. Based on the Dungeon Keeper computer game )
Side Name: Sulphur
Ruler/Overlord Name: Lucius
Type of starting hex preferred: Volcano (or a volcano in direct zone of control, it is where the units spawn from.).
C Special Unit, Scout as first unit.

Infantry, Stabber class: Orc, Orcs look a lot like twolls. they are a lot smaller and less intelligent then the normal, conventional twoll and they lack both the regeneration and the fabrication specials. They have purple skin and wield poorly crafted hammers and shields in combat.

Infantry, Piker Class: Rogues, Rogues are some of the few human troops of Sulphur. They are also the lowest beings. They mostly are tortured for pleasure just to ensure loyalty. Rogues are only used for defensive actions since they are not truly accustomed for underground travel.

Infantry, Archer Class: Warlock, some casters sell their souls a bit too much to darker entities. These casters lose everything in the end and will revert to nothing more then simple shockamancers. They own so little juice that the only spells they can cast are simple fireball spells. The daemons of Sulphur happily use these fallen casters as archer units. Their loyalty knows no bounds since they are without soul.

Scout-Class unit: Daemon fly, Daemon flies are a common sight in Sulphur cities. They spawn from magma and lava like mosquito’s from lakes. They have a high move and serve the Sulphur overlords as eyes and ears. (Natural thinkamancy (6), flight (8))

C: Hell hound. The hounds of Sulphur. These three headed beasts can bite through almost any armour. The beasts stand taller then a horse and are extremely durable. Many a warrior has fallen for these creatures, or their riders…
Hp 6, Attack 5, defence 3, Move 7. Mount, Burrowing.

C: Twoll, Twolls stand as large and dim witted creatures. They are, actually, quite clever in making traps or other creations. They lack the regeneration special like some other twolls do. They stand very tall and are grey skinned. If they do battle, they are armed with mostly fine crafted battle hammers and armours.
Hp 9 (15), Attack 7, Defence 6, Move 3. Fabrication, (Heavy)

Knight class: Succubae. These creatures of evil sarcasm are the fear of all intelligent beings. While not looking frightening themselves, they have the tendency of flaying there victims in battle and wearing their skin as clothes (mostly that is the only thing they wear). They look like the most beautiful woman ever to be born on earth… The problem is that these woman are born underneath earth.
Hp 13, Attack 10, Defence 5, Speed 5, Rider, Frightening.

Warlords: Reapers. These daemons of might are the very command of Sulphur. They live only for war and destruction. They stand twice as tall as a man and have great horns on their heads. They use these as natural attacks if they are disarmed. Reapers have no females in their ranks.
Hp 10, Attack 4+1d4, Defence 4+1d4, Move 5, Leadership 1.

I still have to think about a unit D.

I also have the request if my daemon units can be lava capable. Not that there is lava in the rules yet... (daemon units are: Hell hounds, daemon flies, Succubae and Reapers. Most likely the D unit as well.)

[thaco4]

O... okay yea the dance-fighting was just an idea (maybe higher levels can learn it?)
So on the Vogs correct my miscalculation please. 2 points for hp with 1 point = 1.5hp making their hp from 6 to 9/ 2 points for mount special/ 4 points for flying (making move to 8)/ attack had no change/ defense 4 points from the base 3 making their def to 7. so im counting 12 points used where is the extra 4 points? Am I wrong on any of the points?

[Kaed]

Thou traitors D: This was my idea!

Sorta.

Only based on someone else's ideas...

Uhm.

[Azgrut]

Flight does NOT set move to 8. That is just with scouts.

And yes, I art traitorz! But I am not as well since I have not copied my side.

[Crovius]

Thou traitors D: This was my idea!

Sorta.

Only based on someone else's ideas...

Uhm.

For fairness I'm making a new side for this, also I can only play once a day.

Do we have an actual list of all the specials available so far and their point cost? That'd be nice.

[Azgrut]

First post gives a link to those yet known.

Although some are a bit unbalanced as of yet.

[Crovius]

Ok, a non-linked version? I say I can only do this once because I can't access google wave from work, that includes google files like the one's linked.

[thaco4]

Okay, that makes sense. I had misunderstood. Thanks for the correction, so the move for the Vogs is 4 correct? so again the stats for the Vogs is...
Vogs, Special C Class (x1)
These flying dogs have been trained to carry and defend their riders to the death.
Which makes them the perfect mount for warlords on the go.
4 turns, Upkeep 80 each HP 9, Attack 3, Defense 7, Move 4, Special- Fly, Mount
This stays in the 12 points correct? Okay. anyway, I'm really excited to get started I need a google wave invite Then I'm all set.

[Azgrut]

I was just thinking about one of the spells... Tubgirl...

In the comic, Sizemore uses this tubgirl spell (at least that would be the most obvious) and blows up a crap golem. Should we not change the tubgirl spell so that dirtamancers can cast it and change it to:

Tubgirl. Sacrifice a crap golem. Inflict X damage to an opponent that is not reduced by defence. (All enemy units now suffer from freightening level 1 for this round of combat).

The text between the... ()'s (dont know the English word) is just for fun and does not have to be added.

I do think that the damage should be higher then normal spells, or the juice cost lower, since you have to sacrifice a unit.

[Ehbobo]

Tubgirl isn't what destroyed the golem, he pulled its finger and it exploded in a sulfurous blast of flatulence.

[Crovius]

Tubgirl isn't what destroyed the golem, he pulled its finger and it exploded in a sulfurous blast of flatulence.

Which had the name of a website that is well described by the above statment as well.

[Ehbobo]

Which you do not want to see. Trust me, do not get curious.

[Azgrut]

Nevertheless the spell did include a golem in the process.

[turbler]

nope, Sizemore used that scroll as a stun, so that by the time he used the crap-golem nuke, no units could flee the radius. that's what I think anyways. I'll go archive-floating to check.

[Azgrut]

Hmz. Maybe you are right. But since tubgirl is a nasty picture on the interwebs, it should have a nasty spell in the game. And there is nothing more nasty then a crap golem exploding in your face (well there are but... you get my point).

But anyways, there should be another spell that does the crapgolem nuke .

[Ehbobo]

Maybe that should just be added in as a special for crap golems. May or may not require a dirtamancer in the same stack.
