>Deciding what to do with the humans
After the conquest of Welsten (now known as New Londo), fierce bickering began as to what to do with the human targets. The Giant Supremacist faction wanted to make the humans into slaves while the more progressive members of the tribe opted to let the humans continue as they were. With no clear consensus as to what to do, Chieftain Gough decides that, as an act of compromise, the city would be placed under martial law, and the humans (minus Wilbur) would be indentured until martial law was lifted.
>Visiting Koggarach
Now that spring has come, the giants make another trip to Koggarach. The first to arrive are Elmagh and the priestess acolyte, who preach to the tribe about Lava Mama and Stronk Dad. As the giants of Koggarach had no existing faith, the religion spreads quickly to the village. Next came Chieftain Gough and Balgmar, who began negotiating with the chieftain of the village about joining the Cewri Tribe. The giants are not so quick to accept, and instead offer an alliance. Koggarach would remain autonomous but would support the military efforts of the Cewri and give aid to Anor Londo and New Londo when needed. Gough and Balgmar decide to think the options over one more time.

(cont'd)

>>249316
back from the last thread fuck yeah legogo
but im semi progressive and think we should get the humans on our side bbut still reap their benefits of them
and all hail the gods

>Armor
The giants decide to copy the humans' armor, making it more durable and reinforced. With the aid of the human captives, they are able to arm the rest of the clubsmen. They think they might be able to build better armor, but it will likely take research to do so. (-36 bronze bars, +12 bronze lamellar armor (+1 def))
>Training more troops
You focus the rest of your efforts on training new troops, and are able to train two more slingers. (+2 slingers)

>EVENTS:
-Spring has come! Resources are beginning to become more plentiful, the weather has become less harsh, and the humans are able to go back to farming, giving you a surplus of food! You are also able to use nature spells again and do everything else you couldn't do in Winter. Large beasts and monsters are beginning to wake from their hibernation, however, and you may encounter them while gathering resources in the woods and swamp. Spring will last for 5 more turns.
-Your wounded troops are now healed up enough that they can return to action!
-You can expect the wandering traders to pay the village a visit during the middle of the spring.
-Koggarach offers a trade! They offer 5 bronze bars and a giant-sized cart for 15 of your leather.

(I gotta update the stats and map real quick too, I was more concerned with migrating everything over versus updating.)

Oh boy we got iron bars. Better make a lot of weapons with those. Maybe Halberds

Accept the trade offer from Koggarach

Kill the cattle we jut got from the humans to make up for the trade

Go hunting for dire bears

>>249415
appreciated ill be in for a while tonight

>i say we accept the trade its spring well get leather
>explore areas in bigger hunting parties to get us some badass animal companions
how ong is spring?

>>249441
Seconded, use the iron on new weapons

>>249316
Beautiful.

Koggarach: we have nothing to lose from an alliance. As a show if good faith we should offer them access to pray near the Shrine of the Couple in Anor Londo. Later, if they catch on to the way of Lava Mama and Stronk Dad then we can offer pilgrimages to the volcano for their priests.

>>249445
+1 to accept trade

>>249441
Can you imagine the damage with those halberds? Ooooweee
+1 to Animal Companionship with direbears

We should research armor too.

Can we offer jobs in our mines to the humans? Do they have machines that help them mine?

>>249468
Btw my captcha was "select all images with mountains". Even captcha knows the glory of the hill giants!

K hopefully that's everything

Tip: You'll need a worg pen or dire bear pen if you want to have either. If you put them in the stables they will eat the livestock and will wreck shit if you just let them out in the open.

>>249573
melt down gold for goughs armor and train him so hes super badass

>>249585
oh yeah

i vote to build a pen then

>>249585
Gotta build that bear pen and make it sturdy.

>>249468

No machines unfortunately and you do not have an actual mine that goes down into the earth yet, up until this point you have mostly been scratching at surface deposits. Might be something to consider building.

>>249685
ill put my vote towards mine,
pretty high and tired probs later for me than you i feel so ill have pretty concise imput

>>249692

>(Free Action) Slaughter the cattle
You take the axe to all of New Londo's cattle. Screw these lesser valley bovines, giant-raised yaks are far superior.
>(Free Action) Trading
The trade is accepted! Koggarach thanks you for your business. (+5 bronze bars, +1 giant-sized cart)
>Dire Bear Pen
With the aid of some slaves, the giants begin building a pen for their dire bears, first erecting a fence and then laying the foundation for a building to keep them in during the winter. (Progress: 1/2)
>Halberds
Late in the night, an inspiration strikes one of your weaponsmiths and a new idea is devised. You ask the humans if they know how to make anything like said weapon, but they know only how to make the spears they use. Better get to researching! (Progress: 1/2)
>The Mines
Your giants travel to the spot where you got the copper ore (marked on the map) and begin digging down into the earth. Before long, you start hitting more copper, but the mine is still not complete. (Progress: 1/2)
>Armor Research
You try to find a way to make your armor sturdier, more like a solid plate rather than the humans' puny lamellar. However, this too will take some time to complete. (Progress: 1/2)

>Cont'd

>EVENTS
-Rumor has it that a force may be mobilizing from Amberly. Raids may occur at any time so be prepared. You suspect New Londo is a more likely target, but Gough is reluctant to rule out an attack on Anor Londo.
-The selective breeding project has been completed! Your yaks have been upgraded to Greater Yaks, which will produce more leather and meat when slain. However, riding them at this point is still not recommended.
-An alliance is forged between the Cewri and Koggarach under the terms that Koggarach is to remain autonomous, but will provide military support and aid when needed. Also, your shrine is now seeing a steady flow of Koggarach giants coming and going.

Whoops, should be 4 leather, not 19 due to the trade.

Kill 3 yaks

Go searching for direbears. The pen should be down by then

Train more clubsmen

Send a force of Giants south down the road that connects New Londo. It probably leads to an intersection that goes to Amberly village. That way we can see if there's a build up there.

Is Gough's and Maag's child going to be born soon?

>>249811
Finish dire bear pen, halberds, the mine and armor.

>>249851

Probably not until fall. It takes time to make a babby.

>>249851

Also do you want to station them there or just go look?

>>249857
Have them stay there for a period of time. They might come along a supply or army convoy.

>>249851
>>249857
Maybe build some kind of outpost or watch tower there ? so we can react quickly if one of our base is attacked

Increase troop production and drill prepare for invasion

Our population and military is small, so continue with better armor research or anything that can make our troops more durable.

At the least we should bulk up our guards and stay alert for a raid

Make a sacrifice or perform a ritual to Lava Mama to bless our yaks with increased fertility. Maybe start grazing the hills.

I'm still for making a temple at the volcano for our head priestess and great warrior to train bad asses and worship the gods

Start fortifying both our towns

Start a protection scheme on the halfling village ("You know there's some dangerous giants out there. We can keep them away for _____.")

Build a brewery?

>>249886
We shouldn't set up a permanent base there. We're only sending troops there to see if any weapons and troops are heading west to Amberly village. If we ambush a substantial convoy there, it might be an indication of a build up for an invasion on Anor Londo. Plus since it's probably a crossroads, they will send a large contingent of troops to dislodge us if we stay there too long.

We can also still challenge the other giants to friendly competitions of rock hurling, wrestling, shouting, etc.

>(Free Action) Slaughter yaks
You say goodbye to some of your yak herd. Due to your yake breeding efforts, you get double the usual amount of food and leather. (+6 food, +6 leather gained)
>Scouting for convoys
Nothing yet, although you manage to ambush a trio of unarmed halflings and their cart of marsh carp and salt. Your giants take the halflings back to New Londo for questioning. (+22 silver coins, +4 food, +3 bags of salt, +1 tiny cart, +3 halfling prisoners)
>Finishing projects
Your slaves and giants wipe the sweat off their brows as the mine and worg pen are complete! (Shallow Mine gained, Dire Bear Pen gained, see http://pastebin.com/edit/KCmLd2yH)
>Fortify the towns
You begin repairing the wall in New Londo and reinforcing the wooden walls in Anor Londo. While the palisade in New Londo is finished quickly enough, the wall in Anor Londo will take some time to finish. (+1 DEF in New Londo) (Progress on Anor Londo wall: 1/2)
>Research
Your giants finally finish the weapons and armor research! You can now make improved spears, such as halberds, glaives, etc. along with reinforced bronze and iron armor! (Tech gained: [Spears II] [Armor II])

(cont'd)

>>249921

>EVENTS:
-You have homeless giants and citizens! Invest in upgraded housing soon!
-Your abundance of food has sparked an increase in population at Anor Londo! (increased to +3/turn)

Tip: Gathering cut stone would be a smart idea, as many better buildings can be built with it.

>>249898
+1 yeah it would seem too aggressive to the humans

>>249924
Find cut stone to build houses with.

Construct iron Halberds

Build more giant housing. Humies can wait

Gather cut stone

Question the halflings to see if they have any information we can use

Also you can question the halflings as a free action, try to think of specific questions or they will likely give unspecific answers

>>249933
In that case, ask the Halflings where they came from. Ask them what village they were leaving and why they were going the way they were. Perhaps see if they know what the people of Brylon think of this conflict.

>>249924
We should upgrade to stone walls in Anor Londo asap. Can we get the humans to divert efforts to cutting stone?

We should also start building and training with halberds

Can we pray to Lava Mama and ask how to train Fire Warriors that can use fire buffs on their weapons? For lore, maybe they have to be women like the priestesses. Daughters of Stronk?

Build a temple

Build more housing in our capital (we still have housing coming in new lando, right?)

Interrogate halfings

Use the cart to gather cut stone

Find a dire bear and train our shaman to ride it

Build a brewery on the river so we can trade beer and improve relations with the other giants

>>249933
>>249935

Have they been approached by any of the King's forces? Have they seen any troops gathering?

Are they open to be hired as scouts in disguise?

Before we send them away, tell them that there are more giants in tribes throughout the nearby lands and that the Age of Giants is coming.

>>249937
I'm thinking about injecting a new God. A God of storms, which includes lightning, and of war. Have him be the son of Lava Mama and Stonk Dad. Have a god of war so we can have lightning weapons and stuff. Although I'm not sure if this conflicts with any of the lore or not.

>>249940
I thought Stronk Dad pretty much is our god of war

>>249937

As it stands, the magic the acolytes (even the Priestess of Fire) uses is too dangerous to use in imbuing weapons with fire elemental power. At this point it would destroy the weapon and possibly hurt the wielder. You should have a look at the pastebin under the magic section of the stats, it explains how divine magic works, what spells you can get, etc.

>>249940

Technically the hill giants are the children of Stronk Dad and Lava Mama. Although if you can find another way to make it work and get support for it I can make it happen.

>>249940
In the lore, their son was the first Hill Giant, so that can factor into the elemental stuff, too. So this "Son of Storms", being the first Hill Giant, he would have been responsible for starting the Hill Giant tribe as we know it. Just like we are trying to rebuild our exiled community. Of course we need his blessing!!

>>249942
I thought that Stonk Dad was a god of strength and manhood. The god I'm thinking of would be a god of storms and a god of war along the sides just so we could have lightning weapons.

>>249945
but if we can't imbue weapons then maybe the elemental stuff is for naught. Stronk is a pretty good warrior god.

I vote for keeping it simple with 2 gods for now

>>249938
+1 for the brewery, too

>>249938
Voting for this

>>249950
+1

>>249950
The creation mythos is kind of limited. Lava Mama and Giant Dad are essentially Adam and Eve which constricts expanding it into a proper pantheon.

>>249935

They say they're from Amberly, and they were headed to the capitol city of Albemeria to trade their wares. They say that while the people in Amberly and the rest of the kingdom detest and are fearful of the giants, but they detest and fear the orcs more.
>>249939
There are a bunch in Amberly right now. He hasn't seen any reinforcements enter the village yet. They don't want to be scouts, but that doesn't mean you can't try to force them to be. As to the Age of Giants, they echo the words of the villagers of New Londo after it was captured: "If Brylon falls, it will be the Age of the Orcs for you!"

>>249938
>Find a dire bear and train our shaman to ride it

+1 for this, maybe train our clubsmen with heavy armor too ride some armored bear.

We should just be passive right now against the kingdom of Brylon. If Brylon is spending most of its forces against the orcs and still struggling, we should just sit tight and prepare ourselves.

>>249957
As a longer term goal we should take advantage of this orc invasion and take some more of the kingdoms border villages to fortify and use as a buffer zone between our mountains and the invaders as we explore and expand west.
Let the humans and orcs kill each other.

>More housing
Through the combined effort of giant and slave, you manage to complete the rest of the giants' housing in New Londo. Unrest is brewing in the homeless human slaves, however. (New building: Wooden Dwellings, can house 30) (-10 wood)
>Finding dire bears
With a little bit of good luck a group of your clubsmen stumble upon a female dire bear and her cub. The mother bear, in defense of her cub, lashes out ferociously and in her maternal rage is unable to be tamed. Your clubsmen get away with just a few scratches this time thanks to their armor, and slay the bear. They then take the cub back to Anor Londo and put it in the newly constructed dire bear pen. Since the cub you captured is female, if you can get a male cub you could breed the two, though dire bears are very slow to reproduce while in captivity. It will be 3 turns before this guy grows to adulthood. (+2 food, +2 leather, +1 male dire bear cub)
>Iron halberds
Your blacksmiths get to work on the halberds, forging 3. (-3 iron, +3 halberds)

>(cont'd)

>>249914
>>249921
I like this idea
To celebrate the arival of spring and our recent military success our giants will split into groups and face each other in games of swatrock until one team is left as champions (have some kind of reward ready for them like extra food)
After this is done we can take our champion team and challenge the other giant tribe to face is in swatrock

>>249974
Halbrids are useful and all, but giant spiked maces are cooler.

>>249975
Along with a brewery, we could have a festival with competitions and such and encourage our tribes to intermarry

>>249975
We could get a human league going too

Build better human housing

>>249980
Level some forest and make more farms to put them on

>>249974

>Brewery
Word slips from the lips of the halflings about needing a tall flask of this thing called ale, and your giants demand to know more. Only having the halflings' rough explanations to go on, they get to work on researching a method to craft it. (Progress: 1/2)

>EVENTS:
-Your scouts by the crossroads hear what seem to be a herd of horses headed towards Amberly...something may be up.
-The wandering traders have come! This season, they bring 15 cut stone, 10 iron and 5 obsidian for either 175 silver coins or all 7 of your shortbows, all 8 of your wooden bucklers, and your bronze shortspear.
-Your homeless giants all now have found homes in New Londo, but the human hobos are growing quite agitated. You may want to do something about this before it gets out of hand.

One more update and then I'm going to call it a night. I'm gonna try to condense as much of the stats down into pastebins as I can too in order to save space.

>>249984
Build human homes, then giant homes.

>>249975

Wanna name your team?

>>249984
Tell the hobos that there are new homes just west. Then kill them all and hide the bodies

>>249992
Oh no, naming things, one of my many weaknesses! I will take suggestions from my fellow anons
Also I love that my giant baseball thing seems to be working I was worried it wouldn't catch on at first

>>249984
Keep our silver, trade the goods.

Intimidate Amberly into joining us. Either swear fealty and submit to giant rule or be harassed by us until they die by invading orcs

Did our shaman learn enchantments?

>>249977
We could make obsidian maces for our shaman and other bear riders

>>249997
Yes! Obsidian mace wielding direbear riding giant shamans.

>>249997

Like gear enchantments? Those would be under blessings. He did learn some better hexes though, check out the pastebin.

>>250003
Oh right i meant hexes

File: images.jpg (15 KB, 340x432)

15 KB JPG

>>249974
Still can make an animal companion. I say let the dire bear the companion

>>250001
It would be even more ridiculous to also have the Lava Mama gift our bears with fire abilities. Orcs couldnt fuck with fire breathing dire bear riding, obsidian mace wielding shamans chanting hexes

>>250011

Done. Okay then, writin' 'er up.

Alright, tell me if you like the new pastebin format better than me posting everything

>(Free Action) Thanks for the business!
You accept the traders' offers and exchange goods, and the traders say their farewells until the summer.
>Obsidian maces
The giants put their obsidian to use, making two very intimidating spiked maces. (-4 obsidian, +2 obsidian maces)
>Human housing
The giants get to building new housing for the many homeless people in New Londo, much to their delight. It will take time, but the people are content with waiting until then. (-10 wood) (Progress: 1/3)
>Finish brewing
Cheers! You have researched alcohol. May many good times and wild parties ensue. (Tech gained: [Brewing I])
>Build a new farm
You start clearing the land and plowing fresh soil. Work on the farm is now underway! (Progress: 1/3)

>EVENTS:
-Shaman Wor sees an ill omen in the clouds: a sign of imminent conflict. Prepare for a raid next turn.
-The days are starting to get warmer. Summer will arrive in two turns.

And with that I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow evening.

Also don't forget to train your troops to use all the new weapons you got!

>>250080
Train halberd warriors. Give a mace to our shaman, save the other for our next bear rider. Maybe offer more bronze to Lava Mama for another fire caster

Balance our troops between our strongholds.

Pray to Stronk for buffness against raids

Ask our allies for some reinforcements in case things get sticky

Get more stone from the surrounding hills. Use it to build a volcano training temple

Brew lots of beer

>>250080
We should try to prepare an ambush if we can

>>250080
>>250093
Get the shaman training with the bear.

>>250080
We should definitly make some better armor since we have Armor Tech II
Send most of troops to human village since they probably don't know where are our main base is, no roads etc.
Train halberd giants
Train more club giants

>>250080
How about condensing all those pastebins into one master link?

>>249996
The New Londo DireBears?
The Anor Londo Halflingskins?

Actions:

Pray to Stronk
Put the fire acolyte in New Londo to help with the raid
For an ambush, we can't steallth hide, but could we put a couple troops down the road, breaking line of sight, to come in and flank the Raiders during the battle?
Train with and arm obsidian weapons/halberds

>>250516
Plan a defense with our shaman hexing the fear into them, while our acolyte and throwers rain fireballs and boulders

>>250516
>The New Londo DireBears?
That one is fine with me

>>250619
Agreed. Minor Fear or Minor Swamp would both be great. Fear on the generals and Swamp on any horses or brigades.

>>250648
Sweet! The Anor Boulders could be the second team in our Giant League.

After the raid we should definitely start brewing beer. We should brew a special batch for the humans to improve their liking of us.

We should tell the halfling village that it is only a matter of time before the human kingdom is defeated and we can protect them.

We should put in a rule or law that every giant that visits our shrine throws in some sort of metal as a offering to lava mama and stronk dad. This was we can get favor a lot quicker

>>250080
Start making rectangular Roman shields and bronze tipped spears.
>Start making pike units for defense of the town.

Start building walls with everyone who isn't fighting on the job around new londo.
>I'm talking like Julius vs the gauls wall building fast.

Work on the catapult! Why did we ever stop working on the catapult! launches flying boulders the size of a whale can induce so much more fear!

>>252146
Anon I don't think spears are really that useful for giants unless we are fighting other giants. Clubs or halberds work better because aoe.

>>252146
For the catapult I believe it was determined that in roll-based combat it would not give us any more advantage than we already have. We have a natural intimidation buff and the rocks thrown by a catapult wouldn't be that much bigger than those thrown by our Slingers. I don't think area-of-effect applies to the rocks anyway

That's what I remember please correct me if I misunderstand the combat mechanics.

>>252146
I don't think we need a catapult. Giants hurling rocks is like catapult in human terms. Also Gough and Armaaga using bows are the equivalent to ballistas. A catapult might just be a waste of time and resources.

>>252146
Good idea pulling everyone to focus on walls! Especially stone walls for our capital Anor.

>>252231
>>252241
>>252246
I assumed we where making our human slaves fight as well. But not in open field combat, in defensive of the town.
>The shields, spears and catapult was for the human to use under supervision of giants.
>I was gonna let clubs and shit be the giant weapons.

>>252296
Is there really a reason to use them to fight though? They are like 3x times less effective than us. And arming them so soon after taking over their village doesn't sound like a good idea. Also I think pretty much all of the good/average fighters the village had died.

>>252331
I concur. To arm a group of people we just subdued is folly. They have to reason to fight fight for us against their fellow countrymen. We can not offer freedom for we just took it away and we can not offer an abundance of food for we require it more. Maybe if the orcs show up we can arm them.

>>252365
I have a feeling Orc will be even harder to deal with than Humans. From what we heard they are clearly trying to just takeover as much land as possible.

>>251878
I really think we should do this . Getting more favor from the gods is never bad

>>251878
>>252365
>>252246
Agree with these anons. OP will a catapult offer us any advantages? If not then no catapult.

>>251878
+1

>>252331
+1

>>252620
Thanks Anon.
With the power of the gods by our side no one can stop us.
We should also send word to the halfing village promising them protection once the Orcs eventually arrive

>>252689
+1

Back, expect an update soon. Remember to check the pastebins because I'll be updating them as we go along.

>>252331
We can use them as cannon fodder if necessary. But otherwise, protect them like merchandise

>>252834
Can you put everything in one pastebin like one anon said?

>>252868

On it.

>>252878
aye youre back, welcome

Cewri Tribe: Stats

>(Free Action) Preparing for the raid
Heeding Shaman Wor's warning, the giants sent their forces to New Londo in preparation for a possible raid.
>Offerings for the gods
The giants, seeing an increasing flow of traffic, decide to implement a new practice where travelers to the Shrine of the Couple must offer metal to Lava Mama and Stronk Dad. As a decree by the Priestess of Fire, worshippers were obliged to obey and a steady stream of favor began to accumulate. (The Shrine of the Couple now automatically generates +10 favor per turn. This number will increase as more followers begin traveling to the shrine.)
>Stone walls for New Londo
The giants begin an all-out effort to build stone walls around New Londo, using all the slaves to do it. They finish the gates, but the rest of the wall is still not done. (Progress: 1/2)
>Training new troops
The giants equip their new weapons and perform some basic training with them. The new soldiers then head to New Londo with the rest of the army. (3 iron halberdiers and 2 obsidian clubsmen gained)
>Praying to Stronk Dad
In preparation for the raid, Balgmar and the other giants pray to Stronk Dad for strength and luck. Your giants feel as though they are slightly more protected from harm. (Blessing received: Stronk Shield, +1 defense to all units until end of turn)

>EVENTS:
-Just as Shaman Wor predicted, your giants spot a band of Brylon troops to the south of New Londo. This time, the enemy has brought cavalry units: lightly-armored but fast horsemen along with similarly fast mounted archers that are effective from long-range. You count 5 horsemen and 4 mounted archers. In addition, there are three phalanxes of 20 spearmen, 20 halfling spearmen and 20 swordsmen respectively. Lastly, you spot six peasants toward the rear with a battering ram. Your giants take positions. Gough, Armaaga, Elmagh, the acolyte and the slingers move to the wall's ramparts while 5 clubsmen and the macemen take up positions around the wall. The leader of the raid orders a charge, and combat ensues.

>Turn 1: The mounted archers move out, making erratic motions while firing at the ramparts. Due to the effects of the Stronk Shield, some of the arrows are deflected, but a few find their mark in an unfortunate slinger, who is wounded badly. The other three slingers, along with Gough, Armaaga and the fire priestesses, retaliate and Armaaga manages to down one. Additionally, one of Elmagh's incantations manages to set another ablaze. The line of archers fires next. Instead of normal arrows, however, they launch flaming arrows, setting parts of the wall and some buildings in town ablaze. The citizens of New Londo did their best to contain the fires in town, but the wall took some serious damage from the flames. The horsemen charge forward and one of their spears pierces the heart of a clubsman. The phalanxes follow, nearly getting into combat range.

(cont'd)

>>253150
Are the enemies marching forward in formation or spread out?

>>253150
OP great job on the champion descriptions. You're doing a great job on everything so far, keep it up.

>>253150
I vote we bust out minor swamp and pelt humies with ranged.

>>253150
Have Gough and Armaaga pick off the horse units. The slingers will focus fire on the spear phalanx since they are probably the best unit the enemy has against us.

>>253237
I agree with Anon, but I think our fire priestess should also make some fire explosions in the ranks of the phalanxes.

>>253263
That too

>>253150
We should have Shaman Wor create a minor swamp to block the main way. As the enemy forces go around the swamp, our clubsman, maceman and halberdiers lie in wait and ambush them.

Bonus if we can get our fire Mage to light tree trunks/ wood on fire and have our slingers throw it at the forces.

If they enemy tries to charge through the swamp light it on fire.

We should also pray more for stronk dad and lava mamas favor. Do we roll a 1d100 ?

>>253263
>>253267
agreed we need aoe damage because we are outnumbered

>>253269
Also I did the Champion of Stronk Dad make a appearance in the battle?

>>253294
i didnt see stronk champion with greatsword mentioned here >>253150

>>253271
Pray to our gods to help Our long ranged units in battle, have shaman wor either make a bad luck charm our create a swamp.
If we go with the swamp then that delays the enemy forces , we can either light it on fire or set up a ambish

>Turn 1 (cont'd):
(Giants' military: 19, 1 slinger wounded, 1 clubsman killed) (Brylon raiding force's military: 67, 2 mounted archers killed) (New Londo's defenses reduced to 2)

>Turn 2: Turning their attention to the archers, the giants' wall team unleashes another barrage. The acolyte throws a fireball towards the line, which burns an archer to a crisp, and Gough manages to pick off a mounted archer and a regular archer. Rockthrowers and slingers focus on the phalanxes, easily breaking the line of the halfling vanguard and smashing three of them. The archers spend a turn lighting their arrows ablaze in preparation for the next volley. The clubsmen and macemen charge to meet the line of halflings, tearing them to pieces. Seven halflings are killed in the charge, but the remaining mounted archer circles behind the group and puts an arrow through the skull of a clubsman. The other two phalanxes move to flank the giants, but Balmarg gives the signal to move out, and the rumbling of heavy footsteps heralds the arrival of the rest of the army, who are in flanking position of the spearman phalanx!
(Giants' military: 16, one slinger wounded, two clubsmen killed) (Brylon raiding force's military: 54, three mounted archers, two archers, 10 halfling swordsmen killed)

>Turn 3: The mounted archer returns his attention to the wall, wounding a slinger. Gough responds by putting a giant-sized arrow between his eyes. Maag kills an archer, and the priestesses ignite a horseman. Balgmar and his troops slam hard into the side of the line. The halberdiers skewer two spearmen and Balgmar could be seen slicing one poor spearman in half. The rest of Balgmar's clubsmen tear through the phalanx, killing 7 more. With Balgmar now in the fight, the rest of the giants focus on the halflings and the swordsman regiment. They kill another 4 halflings, causing the rest to flee. The swordsman phalanx splits into two, with one moving to flanking position and another engaging the giants and wounding a maceman. Lastly, the archers fire another volley, further damaging the wall and wounding the acolyte. The battering ram now moves forward, slowly inching forward to deliver the final blow to the gates.
(Giants' military: 14, 2 slingers and 1 maceman wounded, 2 clubsmen killed) (Brylon raiding force military: 26, 14 halfling swordsmen killed, 6 halfling swordsmen fled, 10 spearmen killed, 4 mounted archers killed, 1 horseman killed, 3 archers killed) (New Londo's defense reduced to 1)

(cont'd)

>>253307
Could Wor bring in a fog? If we make all ranged weapons useless it's a plus for us, we could easier crush them.

>>253338
We neeeeeed to pray to our gods and to have our Shaman deliver a hex to the enemy. Can we have our priestess rally our men?

>>253338
We crushed half your army, flee you fools.
Why would they fight to the last man?
Are things so shitty in brylon that the punishment for returning home a failure is harsher than death?
The halflings got the right idea

If we can, use the commune with the dead hexe on the highest ranking human here. Even death he might have information pertaining to the kingdom of Brylon and the apparent Orc menace that is going against Brylon.

>>253180
+1 :) agreed!

>>253374
Yes! Flee you fools! If you were half as smart as your halfling friends you would run! The Age of Giants is coming. Soon you, too, will be brewed a special beer and live under the watchful eye of the Hill Folk and Lava Mama and Stronk Dad. [Use Intimidation]

>Turn 4: Shaman Wor, finally climbing up the rubble of the walls, casts Minor Swamp on the flanking swordsmen, grinding their attempt to a halt as they are bogged down by the mud, saving the giants a lot of pain. The enemy, sustaining heavy losses, breaks formation and focuses on taking down the nearest threat. Maag and Gough continue firing on the horsemen, killing 2, and Elmarg sets the swamp on fire, roasting all ten swordsmen in one go. The giant warriors then use this opportunity to attempt to break through and get to the archer line. Balgmar, leading the charge, kills two swordsmen and is the first to get to the archer line. However, his sword arm takes an arrow, and he retreats, leaving it to the others, who follow suit and cut the remaining archers to ribbons. With the rest of the army in total tatters, the remaining troops make a retreat. You are victorious, but many of your troops lie wounded.
(Giants' military strength: 12, 2 slingers, 1 maceman, 1 acolyte of fire, Balgmar wounded, 2 clubsmen killed) (Brylon raiding force military: 0)

SPOILS OF WAR:
31 suits of bronze lamellar armor (they don't fit)
10 suits of halfling leather armor (definitely don't fit)
16 bronze shortspears
14 bronze daggers
6 very short bronze daggers
6 shortbows
Battering ram
1 horse

Maybe melt this thing and mix it with other metal ?

Smelt the enemy armor and weapons. Also turn the battering ram into a baseball bat/club.

>Wounded recovery time
Balgmar - 1 turn remaining
1 maceman, acolyte of fire, 1 slinger - 2 turns remaining
1 slinger - 3 turns remaining

How many dead.

>>253430

Two clubsmen.

>>253428
research medicine and build human houses, also this>>253426

>>253435
We must maln sure that the bodies are thrown into the volcano properly
Also how's the gods favour doing?

I vote on
healing our forces with magic
repairing/ building walls and buildings
melting down the armor and weapons to be reused.

>>253413
Tell the human empire that we can keep fighting. But if they just to make this village and the halfling villages our land and we won't attack you again.
>Or you know, try to take them again and Fuck your selfs on the orc front.

>>253413
We survived, but it could have gone better. Bury the men in the volcano and let's do our best to ensure that holding the army off is no more difficult than chopping wood.

>>253440

It's in the pastebin under basic stats. You have 20 now and have an automatic income of 10 per turn thanks to travelers offering metal every time they visit the shrine.

Also you guys got more names for swatrock/baseball teams? You can have up to four in the upcoming tournament. The ones I have now are:
>Anor Londo Boulders
>New Londo Direbears
>???
>???

Let's have one of the humans write a message to the empire, informing them that we are passive until provoked.
Also if they continue to assault us we will further our territory and intentionally destroy all settlements that provide them with resource. Making not just their military but the empire itself struggle with attrition.

>>253440
I agree with this

Make special armor for our heroes.

Put the heads of their dead on display along the road they came from

Brew some beer and have a festival with the other giants so we can have a birth spike

How's our dire-bear riding shaman coming?

Maybe one day a giant hit the swatrock onto a frozen lake and the sport of Smashskate was invented ?

Also we should marry our Chiefs son/daughter to the other giant tribe heir, so we can combine our nations

Cewri Tribe: Stats
(See http://pastebin.com/UgtRDe9f)
---
>(Free Action): Burying the dead
You take the fallen giants on a funeral procession to Lava Mama's Sanctuary, where they are given to the volcano to become one with Lava Mama. (Culture updated)
>(Free Action) A letter to Brylon
After their latest victory, the giants decide that it is time to send a decisive message to Brylon. Under Gough's instructions, Wilbur begins writing a letter in the human script, which states the following:

"Greetings, King of Brylon,

Our name is Cewri, and we are the ones who conquered the town you call Welsten. You have no doubt heard the stories about us slaughtering the pathetic forces you have sent against us as easily as we chop our wood. With lava and stronk we will bring the Age of Giants to this land, but we will offer to spare you if you surrender the territory of Amberly to us. We know of your struggle against the orcs and you will not win a war against two fronts. Do this and we will not attack any more of your villages. Refuse and we will destroy your villages one by one, making your empire struggle with not just the orcs but with attrition as well. I await your reply.

Sincerely, Gough of the Cewri Tribe."

The letter is then handed off to one of the halfling villagers who takes the letter to Amberly, stating that it is to be delivered to the king at once. It will probably take a turn or two for the king to respond, if he does at all.
>Smelting the junk
You get to breaking down the useless human and halfling weapons into bronze that can be better used for superior giant-crafted weapons and armor or for offerings to Lava Mama and Stronk Dad. (Holy Stronk! 95 bronze bars gained!)
>Building the stone wall
Surprisingly, the gates that the giants constructed were surprisingly effective. They decide to rebuild the wall, but this time in stone. (Progress: 2/3)
>Building the human houses
You repair the human houses that were damaged in the raid and make progress on the new housing, which is good because both the humans and the giants are multiplying like crazy. (Progress: 2/3)
>Building a temple to train badass d00ds
Your giants get to work at building a temple in the Sanctuary of Lava Mama in honor of Lava Mama and Stronk Dad where warriors and priestesses can receive their blessing and grow in power. The foundation is built but much work needs to be done. (Progress: 1/3)

>EVENTS:
-Summer has arrived! Although most of the monsters have become less aggressive, it will also be harder to find beasts such as dire bears and worgs until fall.
-Your dire bear cub has reached adulthood! As it was raised largely under your care, it is completely tame (towards you). You can now use it in battle, or perhaps as a mount as well.
-Your abundance of food has sparked a population boom in New Londo!

>(cont'd)

>EVENTS (continued):
-The giants of Koggarach have arrived with a proposal: a friendly swatrock tournament to be held on the first day of each season. Each tribe would bring its four best teams and compete against each other. Each team places a bet of something valuable and whoever wins the tournament gets to take it all. The Koggarach giants have their four teams all ready to go and have brought a sizable amount of mead. Their bet is 10 iron bars and ask that you try to make a matching bet. Do you accept?

Your teams:
>The Anor Londo Boulders
>The New Londo Direbears
>The Welsten Wasters
>The Boulder Bashing Buddies (BBB)

Koggarach's teams:
>The Koggarach Worgs (best team)
>The North Gargan Avalanches
>The South Gargan Mad Yaks
>The Welsten Valley Clobberers

>>253676
maybe bet food, wood or leather
we need metal and rock in preparation of raid or war.

>>253676
>fuck yes accept
Even better
>match the bet
>secretly make a Copper, iron and gold trophie to be called "sir gaugh's cup" that will be awarded to the winner at the end of the event

Pastebin updated, I also added a section for works in progress so I can stop pulling my hair out over tracking all these projects

>>253689
>>secretly make a Copper, iron and gold trophie to be called "sir gaugh's cup" that will be awarded to the winner at the end of the event

Rather then a trophy cup.
i suggest make a trinket (medal,ring,bracer,neclace etc) ask our priest too imbue it with god blessing reward it too MVP from our village after the match is over.

Rolled 52, 53, 41, 4, 39, 59, 48, 3 = 299 (8d100)

Alright, rolling d100s for performance, the numbers represent how many meters you're able to launch your rock, they go in order shown in >>253676

>>253721

With a distance of 59 meters, the North Gargan Avalanches win the tournament! In second place are the New Londo Direbears with 53 meters, and the Anor Londo Boulders take third with 52 meters. Unfortunately, this means that you lose your bet (10 food and 10 wood). The giants also secretly make a trophy out of gold, silver and iron, called Sir Gough's Cup, which goes to the North Gargan Avalanches until the next tournament.

Alright, so now that all that is out of the way, what do you guys wanna do for next turn?

>>253771
More houses for giants
Put human slaves in the mine
New archery contest to celebrate our victory
Upgrade sling?
Ask Wilbur how it's going.

>>253776
>Sling upgrade
metal shot? Fire imbued wooden block shot? I can't think of ways to upgrade a sling outside of advanced ammo

>>253778
Not sure what other options would be good for ranged at this point if we want to keep the bows to our heroes. 1+ on metal ammo

>>253776
+1 for consulting with Wilbur

>>253771
Take our able clubsmen and test if their striking strength is great enough to cause any form of aftershock when smashing the ground.

>>253781
Now that I think about it we are a melee civ, we should play to that strength.

>>253776

Where do you want the houses, Anor Londo or New Londo?

>>253798
I didn't see houses in the pastebin, so whichever town has less houses.

>>253806

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to carry all that over when I combined the pastebins, it's updated now with everything. Right now you have enough giant houses (but may run out in the near future, the next upgrade in both towns costs stone but you need human houses (which are nearly done).

>>253729
Make a saddle and armor for our dire bear. Train the shaman to ride it

Make an offering of silver for more Fire Acolyte

Brew beer for trade

Lets expand our map. See whats north of New Londo and west of the mountains

Maybe we could dam the river to irrigate our farms and boost crops?

>>249316
How did you make this map? I've been looking for a good tool to make maps with.

We could also dig a trench around New Londo and let the river fill it so we have a moat

>(Free Action): Consulting with Wilbur
"Oh, hoo boy, these guys are in a rip-roarin' riot over the lack of housing here. I might not be able to contain 'em anymore if this keeps up! Would y'mind finishin' up those houses before they put my head to the block please? Oh right, this came for ya." Wilbur hands the giants a scroll sealed with wax: which has the following written on it.

"Dear Hill Giant scum,

You have a great deal of nerve telling ME to give up MY lands to YOU. You haven't seen the START of our military strength, and if I were to turn my army southwards you would be licking my boots and picking my grapes before I could even finish my glass of wine. Orcs be damned, if you want my lands you had better pray to your little gods that when we come to claim what is ours I'm feeling generous enough to give you a swift death.

Signed,
King Halios von Brunschwilder IV"
>Offerings and blessings
You offer one silver bar to the Lava Mama, and in turn, she blesses a young giantess with the gift of fire. (+20 faith from offering, -20 faith for acolyte training, +1 acolyte of fire)
>Bear riding
You hammer out a set of iron bear armor and a leather saddle for your dire bear. However it isn't used to having an old shaman riding on it, so training will take some time. (Progress: 1/2)
>Exploration
Your giants haven't explored in a while and are itching to do so again while they aren't in the grips of winter or being raided. Their western explorations yielded more arid scrublands. They found a village by a lake, but they were stopped from getting close to it by a group of nine beasts with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse. These "centaurs" approach the giants with their weapons drawn. "This is Khor. State your business here or leave", they say. "No outsiders allowed in the village." Being outnumbered by these beasts that look much stronger than humans and not having much to say, the giants turn around and head home. Meanwhile, you also explore north along the road to the north of New Londo. You continue until you hit a mountain range, where you find a large, intimidating fortress with a wall that stretches clear across the pass it is built in. According to a slave holding your giants' gear, this is the Scarlet Gate, one of the bastions against the Orcs. Past the fort lies the Ograch Wastes, where the orcs lurk. The human also mentions Estgaard, a mining village that is much larger than both New Londo and Amberly. The giants decide it would be a bad idea to explore much in there without having some backup.
>Beer brewing
Boy, that mead during the swatrock tournament was good! The giants decide they need some more, and manage to fill up five jugs of fresh Cewri mead. (+5 jugs of mead)

Gonna update the pastebin and then get to bed. I'll be back tomorrow.

If the king's gonna be a shithead like that lets just back the orcs when they come

So on average what is the size of a giants feces? I'm suprised we haven't utilized weaponry of giant dung barrels.

Primarily, if we were to be pushed back to Anor Londo, we would effectively have a counter measure against any army forming bases at the foot of the mountain.
Secondly it would give us a safe initiative option to weaken any settlements we choose to attack.

All we need are barrels big enough for giant feces. And some place to allow them to foul, so not to inflict ourselves with disease.

>>254070
Maybe ambush some of their caravans and leave nothing but crushed little bodies to send a message

>>254101
since we are using gough and anor londo i assume its darksoul sized giants

>>254101
We could do exploding barrels instead. Disease agents would be more practical if we were more geared towards sieges than direct combat

Did we make any new armor with that Armor Tech II yet

>>254221

It's more for drawn out combat. Hit them with fecal barrels and run. They now must either evacuate their base of operation and face us on our turf or manage the waste which will split their man power.

we should explore north west of Anor Londo beyond the mountains

Also we should marry then Chiefs son/daughter to the other giant tribe to combine our nations

>>254406
>>254221
>>254101
As effective as that might be, that's nasty.

>>253949
This. Just have him be known as the giant blacksmith.

>>254425
Our chief doesnt have any sprog, but we could try to have our great warrior marry with them

Back, will update soon but I'll answer questions/provide explanations now.

>>253883
Hrm, not sure what to tell ya then. You could just use GIMP or something, grab a transparent hex grid off Google and designing your own maps instead.

>>254101
Probably enough to fill a barrel, I'd rather not think about that too much.

>>254068
I'll work on it during the next update. There are more humans than giants right now, though. You might want to take some time to research barrels too, right now all you have are clay pots and jugs. It'll definitely help.

>>254219
Yeah, probably around that size. They average around 10-13 feet tall. Roughly twice as big as humans. Also they're not all spoopy like the dark souls giants are, see the pic for a good representation of what they look like (the two smaller giants, not the hueg stone giant).

>>254369
Nope.

>>254425
Gough's son/daughter isn't born yet. He will be in a few more turns though. It will take a while for him to come of age too.

Update incoming

>>254406
And if it works then we will be the new owners of a shit-covered town? There is a reason militaries don't use poop weapons lol

>>255461

+1 to researching barrels to fill with literally anything other than Giant poo. Maybe beer? I hear barrels are good for beer.

>>255534
The reason the barrel was invent in the first place was for soldiers to hear literal shit over town walls in to their water.
>It was the first use of chemical warfare

>>254101
Yeah i'd rather not throw barrels of shit at towns. If we know for a fact that we aren't going to use a town we're raiding, maybe but I imagine we're going to try and hold most of the villages we capture.

Cewri Tribe: Stats
(See http://pastebin.com/UgtRDe9f)

>(Free Action) The Amberly problem
Your scouts near the crossroads report another movement of troops to Amberly. After reading the king's reply, the giants start increasingly talking about how Amberly will continue to be a danger unless something is done with it. Many want action now, but Gough is hesitant. "Do not count Amberly as weak because of the halflings. Amberly will not be as easy as New Londo. They know we are coming and we know there are troops coming and going from there often. We need to both bolster our army and come up with a smart plan.
>Talks with the Centaurs
You make another trek over the Gargan Mountains, bringing with you some of your mead to trade. Once again the centaurs stop you at the border. The leader of the border guard steps forward, lowering his weapon to talk. "Halt, by order of Khan Sartaq, none may pass into centaur land. However, we see that you wish to trade and would be willing to accept. We will build a trading post at the foot of the mountains that you came from. You may do business with us there when it is completed." Your giants inquire about the centaurs, to which they respond, "You stand at the border of the mighty Kholoron Khanate. By order of Centaur law we cannot tell you more." Although they seemed hostile at first, it seems as though they were merely upholding their laws. Still, it appears that you must wait for the centaurs to complete their trading post for you to do any trading with them.
>Smithing and the head blacksmith
Seeing as how you now have an abundance of metal, your blacksmiths get hard to work at forging bronze armor for your military. They manage to build 20 suits of bronze armor with stronger plates than the lamellar provided. Still, it is hard to move around in, which means that you'll want to equip lighter, faster units such as slingers and the like may wish to wear the much lighter lamellar. You should decide carefully who should wear what. This can be done as a free action, so feel free to switch up gear as you wish. One of your blacksmiths, a young giant named Strengar, seems exceptionally good at smithing, and Gough picks him out to become the head blacksmith of the tribe. (+20 suits of bronze heavy armor, -60 bronze bars, new special person gained: Head Blacksmith Strengar)
>Finishing construction in New Londo
Your giants and slaves work overtime to finish the stone wall and expanded housing in New Londo. Both works are now completed! (New buildings in New Londo: Expanded wooden human housing (can house 60), stone wall (New Londo town defense raised to 4))
>Building a stonemason's workshop
Your giants get to work building a shop with plenty of stoneworking tools in order to get a steady supply of cut stone. Work proceeds smoothly and they make good progress on it. (Progress: 1/2)

>(cont'd)

>>255534
+1 for barrel craft. Beer is better than mead

>>255576
Agreed. Maybe if we were gross goblins or orcs

What is the total strength of our army

>>255750

>EVENTS:
-The wandering traders return with a new offer. This season, they offer a totem of defense (+1 to town defense in the town where it is planted) for 200 silver coins along with a bundle of 10 obsidian and 10 iron bars for 40 bronze bars. Do you accept?
-All your wounded soldiers are back in fighting shape!
-Troop movements were sighted heading towards Amberly.

>>255814
If we have a big enough army, can we put patrols on the roads to cut Amberley off without the King's army being able to use the town as a defensive position?

>>255824
I also vote to enlist Koggarach in this effort. I would like their help in the battle for Amberley but in a support role so they can't claim the town as theirs when we are victorious

>>255750
>>255814

Pastebin updated

>>255780
Check out the pastebin under the military section

>>255814
Trade only the silver

Let's beef up our troop numbers. Train 6 new clubsmen, 4 new halberds, 3 new slingers, 2 new maces, and 2 new fire acolytes

Have our shaman level up his magic. At least better healing spells

Start sending our small groups of some our fastest warriors on small attacks to probe Amberly's defenses.

I agree with putting ranged units in lighter armor, but maybe keeping a few clubsman lighter for a fast attack squad

Maybe consult Wilbur to find a human we can pay or threaten into being a spy to send to monitor Amberly

>>255750
Equipping the armor: we put the acolytes, the wielder of the tower shield, most clubsmen and shaman in the heavy armor. Slingers and archers get the light armor.

I also vote to train our archers in new tactics: form 2 phalanx on either side of an army to flank with arrows and still provide cover. Call it the Formation of the Couple

Can we craft one-handed shields? Or more two-handed shields for a better phalanx? We are huge creatures I feel like there's a way to make essentially a mobile guard tower out of a formation

>>255861
Can we run an envoy to the Orcs offering an armistice until the humans are dealt with? No sense fighting Orcs at least for now. We can use some kind of agreement with the Orcs against the King.

>>255814
We should definitly buy totem
Continue building stonemason's workshop
Try to research one handed shields for more defense for our giants
And equip iron armor to Balgmar

>Let's beef up our troop numbers. Train 6 new clubsmen, 4 new halberds, 3 new slingers, 2 new maces, and 2 new fire acolytes

+1 on these parts if we have the favor/equip

File: image.jpg (273 KB, 500x500)

273 KB JPG

Accept the trade deal

Increase our number of troops like >>255861

Sacrifice the necessary amount of bronze bars to train a fire priestess. That will bring us up to three fire priestesses including Elmagh

Try and research smaller one handed shields
Can we just name Blacksmith Strenger the Giant Blacksmith. It will be a title for the head smith of our tribe. It's also the official designation for the one in dark souls.

>>255824

The troop numbers your scouts saw were fairly big, not unlike the last raid you faced. If you use the terrain to your advantage, you might be able to do something, but if you're just standing out in the open it probably won't end well, and Koggarach won't send its soldiers on suicide missions.

>>255944
Aye. I'll think of something. Besides what's on the map, how is the terrain around Amberly?

>>255977
Sorry I should have asked: I would like to send scouts to the crossroad south of New Londo and East of Amberly. We may be able to use the forest for cover and use guerilla boulder tactics on the road.

Heck we could even destroy or transport heavy boulders to make it so they can't all stay together. Like block off the road so they have to break into small groups to move around the crossroad. The way that rocks under bridges prevent people from camping there.

Could potentially slow reinforcements or give us terrain advantage.

>>255977

The south is mostly taken up by a large lake surrounded by swampland which would probably be hard to move around in, both for you and for them. To the west, the road passes through a dense forest, and there is some hilly terrain towards the east end of the road on the map.

>>255750
Send a party to the other giant town asking for support in the war against the humans, offering to split the loot.

>>255861
this

>>256013
can we set up an ambush where their backs are to the swamp/lake and use that to puch them back and such

>(Free Action) Thanks for the business!
The traders give the totem to you in exchange for your silver coins. With no other business to conduct, they depart until next season. Now the question is where to put the totem?
>(Free Action) A spy in Amberly
Wilbur asks one of the humans to go monitor the situation in Amberly, threatening severe punishment if he doesn't. The human accepts. Much to the Cewri Tribe's dismay, there is indeed a massive troop buildup in Amberly. In addition. a fortress is being constructed in town, and a powerful battlemage from an elite group known as the Knights of the White Rose has recently arrived there.
>More Military
You manage to train the requested number of troops and get them weapons as well. In addition, the Lava Mama grants her favor to two acolytes. (-2 bronze bars, -8 iron bars, -4 obsidian) (Armor equipped accordingly)
>Finishing the stonemason's workshop
The finishing touches of the stonemason's workshop is constructed, and now a steady supply of stone is making its way to the tribe's supply cache. (-3 wood, stonemason's hut complete)
>Crates and Barrels
Research has begun on finding new ways to store things. Your giants think that wooden containers would be able to hold more things than their clay pots and jugs, so they get to work on making some designs. (Progress: 1/2)
>Blocking the road
In order to slow reinforcements from Amberly, the giants put a large pile of stone boulders in the way of the road. Now convoys would have to travel around them and through the forest, which would not only break their formations but also slow their carts and wagons.

>EVENTS:
-The summer heat is beginning to dissipate. Fall will arrive in 2 turns.

>>256169
Research one handed shields
Continue researching barrels

Also OP did we get any other info about the troops like if there's much ranged troops etc.

>>256169
We should set up ambushes in the forest to destroy and harass troop reinforcements and supply trains.

Maybe build a fort in the forest?

+1 on building a one handed shield.

I don't think we should focus on barrels we should focus on the impending attack

>>256181

Your spy notices that there are a significant amount of horsemen, an infantry force of at least 100 men, a smaller halfling battalion, two ballistas and three catapults. Your spy can attempt to collect more detailed information, but each turn spent in the city increases his chances of getting caught.

>>256181
+1
and can we train more troops and habe our current troops train in flanking and ambush menevors (cant spell sorry)

>>256206

Also they don't seem to be mobilizing yet, at least until the fort is finished.

I say we also tell the spy to go back
Spend one action on training halberdiers
and also maybe trying to research even better armor(if that's possible)

>>256224
Try forging nails. See what happens when we put them inside a barrel and have a fire priestess ignite it.

>>256216
Let's cut them off from their supplies by occupying the road. Have slingers and/or fire mages throw peojectiles into the first and then bolt.
We NEED shaman Wor to place a
hex upon the fort, or maybe block them off with swamp spells

>>256216
What if we go a more gurilla warfare technique and lay trap around their fort and ambush them

Even Better would be of owe created obstacles that lead the enemy army into traps and kill boxes.

How many Koggarch reinforcements are coming? Can we also enlist the help of the Centaurs?

>>256273
Meant to say *if we

>>Blocking the road
We should definitely take full advantage of them having to break up. Send a small brigade in the forest and use whatever forest cover we can muster to attack their supply convoys. Use the bottleneck to an advantage.

>>256273

Chieftain Makaba of Koggarach says he can spare 4 bronze clubsmen and 4 javelin throwers. They say they need to conserve troops because Brylon may be targeting them as well. The Kholoron Khanate refuses your proposal, stating that the centaurs deal with centaur affairs.

>>256264
What kind of hex would you wish to cast? And how many soldiers do you propose sending?

>>256348
What is our total
number of Troops?

I was
planing to have shaman Wor either cast bad luck or a minor disease upon the enemy. Or we could cast a swamp to block them. I'll put it up to a vote

>>256364
MILITARY:

Melee: 10 Bronze Heavy Clubsmen (3A, 4D), 3 Bronze Light Clubsmen, 7 Iron Halberdiers (4A, 4D, bonus against cavalry units), 4 Obsidian Macemen (4A, 3D, shield-breaking)
Ranged: 11 Slingers (2A, 2D)
Magic: 4 Acolytes of Fire (2A, 3D) (Bonus against flammable objects)
Allied forces: 4 bronze clubsmen (3A, 3D), 4 javelin throwers (3A, 2D)

Also don't forget to pick a town for your Totem of Defense to go in.

>>256348
Sorry Indidnt see the stat sheet on troops.
I say we send the chief and amagga since they have ranged weapons with Shaman Wor. I would even say we should send our fire followers, since they can do ranged damage. Send all of our Ranged units along without Light Clubsmen. Maybe bring our iron halberdiers in as a defense from a counter attack

My plan is a lightning attack and then retreat, leaving the enemy demoralized and confused. We would have them come in under the shelter of darkness, and have the slingers and fire followers throw projectiles and flaming items into the enemy fort. Maybe throw in a Diease Barrel, but I'm not sure if we are decided on that.
We could have amagga and gough Fire at key targets (Armory barracks etc)

Shaman Wor could cast a spell of Minor fear or famine in the the village to destroy their morale. This would help with getting is close enough to the fort to throw. Maybe in the next turn we could have him cast swamps around the camp to delay the enemy.

Thoughts everyone?

Ken we rape their wit wimmin? it sounds like a good plan. make interspecies babies.

>>256169
OP great job on the character descriptions they are awesome. I like Strengar even more knowing he plays swatrock on the Boulders lol

Actions:
Train the fire priestess to use Minor Explosion any time the enemy has a wooden or flammable weakpoint, for example the catapults and ballistas. Go with Lava Mama, go with fire!

Finish the barrels. Once we have them we can use them as obstacles or temporary walls to direct traffic. on the battlefield. Then set the walls on fire. If we don't break up the army's formation and bottleneck them we will be overrun.

Send 1/2 of the troops from Anor to New Londo. Even amounts of each type. Then get Koggarach to replenish the troops at Anor. That way the North Giants are defending Giants territory and not dying for Human land.

We should indeed prepare for War. Send Balmagh to the forest with the guerilla unit and show the Humans what Fragarach, the Sword of Stronk, can do!

>>253855
>>256412

maybe we can mark the map where is the human army located and wheres our ambush located ?

>>256412
I would like a shock & awe run too but those five would be outnumbered 20-to-1. Plus they have a battlemage Hero of their own that could easily kill one of those five.

Like OP hinted at we will need tactical advantage from at least the environment.

See
>>255944
and
>>256159
+1 to this tactic when we get to Amberly

>>256411
can we train specialist sldiers and shit like spec ops pro shit or are we not there yet?

>>256575
maybe we cant

>(Free Action) Recalling the spy
Your spy makes it out of Amberly and returns to New Londo.
>Shield research
While making a portable wall out of wood is one thing, making smaller, lighter and durable one-handed shields is another. However, research is started on it and the giants work diligently to get it done. (Progress: 1/2)
>Hex: Minor Swamp
Shaman Wor's ritual finishes, causing the land to turn muddy and swampy around the ambush site. No troops will be getting around the blockade anytime soon, meaning Amberly will no longer be able to reinforce its troop supplies.
>Finishing barrel research
Your research on barrel making is finished! You also learn how to make wooden crates, which you can put all sorts of stuff inside! (Tech learned: Storage I)
>The ambush
Your four priestesses and four slingers get into position to do a night raid on a convoy they spotted. The trick would be to wait until they attempt to go around the boulders and snipe them from cover and it works perfectly. The swamp bogged down the troops to the point that they were sitting ducks to the slingers and acolytes who rained death upon them from their hiding places. The giants captured a single catapult and killed the entire escort, getting 10 bronze human lamellar armor (does not fit), 8 bronze shortspears, 5 iron human heavy armor (also does not fit), 8 tiny iron halberds, an icon of faith (grants 50 favor when offered), and 62 silver coins.

>>256660
Recycle the enemy armor and weapons as usual

Construct nails or caltrops

Construct more barrels

Cut down more wood. We seem to be in short supply of it.

Congrats all! Praise to Stronk for our impressive victory.

Given our recent aggression, we will surely be raided as soon as the fort is complete if not sooner. Should we go and try to fuck up their building progress? We could cast Minor Earthquake and do some real damage. Maybe once we get shields just run a priestess in and out real quick to minimize casualties.

>>256660
Melt small armor and weapon

Use icon of faith

Keep catapult maybe we can reverse enginer it later too create our giant sized catapult

So where do you want your totem of defense placed? Also keep in mind that you can offer bronze and iron bars for easy favor which can be used to upgrade your divine spells. You may want to do that soon.

>>256783
I say we put the totem of defense in New Londo. It sits further east closer to the humans and it sits on a trail that leads to scarlet gate to the north. If scarlet gate were to fall to the orcs, they would no doubt head south to New Londo. We should also increase the potency of our divine fire spells.

>>256783
Maybe at new londo because the human more likely attack there

Just offer bronze we need iron for better equipment

>>256790
Agree. Offer and upgrade spells. Especially Explosion, Earthquake.

Our temple of the Couple at the Volcano still needs 2 turns of construction. We need the gods on our side!

Are we set on conquering amberly village?
Rather than that we may want to consider taking the resources in the city to make a new town in the mountain pass to the west to other ambush caravans or force passage fees.
If we take amberly our defenses will be split between new Londo and amberly. And I'd assume that the king will be peeved and immediately move to retake it if possible. Week forces would be overrun quick and possibly a quick move to take new Londo.
Plus added demoralization from seeing an entire city disappear may very well inspire nearby towns to not screw with the giants that made amberly disappear.

Let's name the child Analedy
We should finish researching shields
and research more Devine magic.

>>256925
we win ? free 50 food!

>>256925
Now that has GOT to be a record breaking rock swat. Strengar is a beast, then again he makes the bats... Probably saves the best rock swating clubs for himself.

>>256925

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD! Strengar leads his team to glory and brings the Sir Gough's Cup back to Anor Londo! In addition, Koggarach honors its end of the bet and gives 50 food to you.

>>256918
The trading post is more like a shop than a trade offer. They use silver coins as their currency, although they are also interested in mead and may request other things as well. Here's what they have in stock.

>Scroll of Runic Magic (1 in stock): 1000 silver coins
>Animal Friendship Totem (1 in stock) (can tame one monster, such as a direbear, worg, or other creature): 20 barrels of mead
>Centauric Iron Battleaxe (3 in stock) (+3 atk, bonus against shields): 250 silver coins

>Send 1/2 of the troops from Anor to New Londo. Even amounts of each type. Then get Koggarach to replenish the troops at Anor. That way the North Giants are defending Giants territory and not dying for Human land.

Want to bring this up again since the raid must be soon

>>256921
Also, Quelaag fits the name scheme plus she's the daughter of fire and chaos so...

>>256941
Buy totem use it too attract female dire bear and start breeding with our male bear.

Buy only 1 axe have Strengar learn about this weapon and try too produce our own axe

>>256952
2nd
Also finish shield research

>>256951

So here's what I got for defense arrangements:

>Anor Londo:
Gough
Wor
5 Bronze Heavy Clubsmen
1 Light Clubsman
6 Slingers
2 Acolytes of Flame
Human Catapult

>New Londo
Balgmar
Armaaga
Elmagh
5 Bronze Heavy Clubsmen
2 Bronze Light Clubsmen
5 Slingers
2 Acolytes of Flame

Is this acceptable?

>>256952

Unfortunately you only have 5 barrels of mead right now, you'll have to make more. But that totem probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon..

>>256961
What of the 7 iron halberdiers

>>256964
3 to Anor Londo and 4 to New Londo.

>>256961
Yes. Any reinforcements from the north?

>(Free Action) Naming the babby
Gough and Armaaga finally agree on a name: Quelaag. The tribe rejoices. (New hero gained: Quelaag)
>(Free Action) Axe of the Centaurs
You make your first purchase at the trading post: a centauric iron battleaxe. Upon examining it, Strengar notes that the axe is very ornate compared to the simple woodcutting axes that the giants use, and could probably not be produced overnight. Still, he learns a lot from its design. Strengar also equips the axe, and can use it in battle. (New tech gained: [Axes II]) (+1 centauric iron battleaxe, -250 silver coins)
>A new settlement
Seeing as how Anor Londo is at capacity and New Londo will also be soon due to the influx of migrants from Anor Londo, the giants think it would be wise to build a new settlement. 20 giants from Anor Londo would be needed to make sure it gets a successful start, and it will take time to build. However, it's probably best to get it done now before winter sets in. They choose to establish their territory by a lake to the north of New Londo. (Progress: 1/3)
>Shield research
You finally finish your shield research, and can now make all kinds of one-handed shields! (Tech gained: [Shields II])
>Looking for dire bears
Jackpot! You find a dire bear cub, and it happens to be male! Now you can breed dire bear cubs, but reproduction speed is extremely slow while in captivity. Additionally, Wor has developed a tight bond with his adult dire bear, meaning he can ride it into battle! (1 dire bear cub gained!)
