Perhaps this has already been addressed but…

That was posted in the Discussion thread. This one breaks down into 500 fighters, 200 workers, 200 white mages, 100 dragoons, 125 archers, and 100 mages.

We’re missing 175 archers.

More proof that our beloved-coughYeahRightcough- "leader" is involved with some kind of conspiracy with the enemy only to bring about our untimely doom!

Also, for those 175 archers missing... I'm just going to give them to Josmir.

Before the maps, Avians are more of a rare and exotic race (Accidently added them to major races on first post). So the only Avians there are the five scouts and Josmir.

And to clear this up, your troops can be what you want them to be (They have to be a major race unless I say otherwise though, but no Nagas or Reptilians), but they have to fit the role they are (No Dwarven Arcers, no Fighters casting magic)



Also, problems with some plans.


Self explanitory.



Best one so far, but the bottom right walls/trenchs should be turned to face the southeast, since the Undead can wander pass the trenchs/walls and kill some people.

(Just flip this one around so it matches the movements of the Undead)

Also, to many towers with the stone you have. (Ignore the bottom left troops dying that).

So which way are the undead coming from now? Is it the southeast or the southwest, like the road? Or should I say, are the lines parallel or perpendicular to the propagation of the waves of undead?

Sorry, physics test was today.

Now, according to the map, the road runs southwest to northeast, so if the undead are coming from the southeast, as you say, they would hit the fortifications of all the plans. However, if they are going parallel to the main road(southwest to northeast) we would all be dead. So, if you reversed the directions of east and west, does that mean that we should just flip the map east to west?

Edit: here is my new plan if east and west have always been reversed in the scouting reports.

The problem with our plans was that IHMN was always reversed from the rest of us, so while we had the undead showing up from the bottom right of the map he drew, he wanted them coming from the bottom left.

Edit 2: The black wavy lines are the undead hordes moving toward the wall from the southeast.

[IHateMakingNames]

No, the Undead were always coming from the bottom left of my original map, and always going to the top right. I just said Southwest instead of Southeast (Or however I messed up the directions). So, they are going up the main road.

And last time I am going to say this, no burning down all the trees (Pits of fire will still spread fire).


Edit - Come on, I may have messed up on the directions, but then I said the north was filled with trees that are almost impossible to pass through in medium numbers. If they were heading northwest, why would any blocking be needed when the trees are a natural blockade?

[Elminster_Amaur]

I believe that what I said is exactly correct, if you take a look at all of the previous maps, our defenses have always been the heaviest in the bottom right.

Come on, I may have messed up on the directions, but then I said the north was filled with trees that are almost impossible to pass through in medium numbers. If they were heading northwest, why would any blocking be needed when the trees are a natural blockade?

Fine, remove the black lines from the northern side of the main road and keep everything but the pits of fire.

[IHateMakingNames]

Also, stop suggesting so much fire. We are in a forest, why do you want to set everything on fire? Sure, the Undead will burn, but so will we (Fire can go over walls).

[Elminster_Amaur]

Yeah, but I can fly.

Heh, that was supposed to be funny.

Umm, well we could try other stuff, but fire is the biggest weapon we have. Unless you want to put WMs in the trees or towers and have them mass cure the hordes we will need something else. Trebuches and big rocks or boulders.

[IHateMakingNames]

Why is fire so good? I mentioned before, Undead die like mortals do. If you cut off two of their arms and stab them, they will fall over, instantly disinagrate, then never be a problem anymore. Or if you shot five arrows into their heads, they will die.

[GatoFiero]

But 5 arrows to the head is still 4 too many for my tastes. I'll have my plan drawn up shortly.
