It has to ...Ah yes - it was 13 - unlucky for some!<br /><br />It has to be the most enjoyable massacre I've ever experienced - here's to the next one!<br /><br />Talking of which, having reread the chapter, Thugruff's plan, I think we may need to tweak the next scenario very slightly in terms of the role the mutes play. Thugruff's intention is to let them loose around Dire's tower to "scare off any of Dire's minions who hadn't already heard of Marangha" (I always read that as Marengo, as in chicken!). <br /><br />I think we stick with the attack on the Goblin village, but view it as a necessary obstacle to be overcome by Thugruff's force if they are to reach the Citadel of Chaos. Obviously the swifter the destruction of the Goblin Village then the more likely he is of reaching the Citadel without attracting too much attention. Perhaps we could have a turn limit for putting the village to the torch before Foulblade/Orcleaver turns up as reinforcements. At the end of the game the number of casualties on Thugruff's side would dictate how many mutes it was possible to let loose around the Citadel. Rather than further reducing the Hill Goblin forces for the Final Battle by scaring them off, perhaps they could suffer some psychological effect in future games due to the unnerving effect Marr's Marangha experiments - the more mutes deposited at the tower - the stronger or more far-reaching the psychological effect, perhaps applicable in the blockade game?<br /><br />Of course the fortified cage wagon I intend on building to transport the mutes would become a particular object of interest for the Hill Goblins and its destruction would negate any future effects...Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-58439589841820648832015-08-06T01:34:31.560-07:002015-08-06T01:34:31.560-07:00You nailed 13 of the Hill Goblins!
