The wolf form is in fact a curse of lingering Twilight magic from Ganondorf and Zant. The goddesses protected you from becoming a spirit but they couldn't stop it from affecting you completely.

probably needs a new thing then like curse of twilight since we just discovered it didn't come from farore and maybe add mechanic explanation?
 
san said:
if you mean roman legionaries... I regret to inform you that not only do they have a large wood cost, (Like massive) but they also only have a 8/10 maximum role effectiveness as defensive heavy infantry (the max you could get from training is 7/10 with a critsuccess.) With a mere 5/10 maximum effectiveness as heavy shock infantry.

The problem is the short swords, they are terrible for heavy infantry. You would be better off creating a spartan-esque troop. The difference between them and hoplites is shield size, amount of armor covering their body, and how many weapons they have. the max role effectiveness for them would be 10/10 heavy defensive infantry and 7/10 heavy shock infantry. They would also cost only 100 wood for 1000 spartans.

Just food for thought.

Well, shit, and here I thought that they would be a great heavy infantry that would desamate a lot of foes. All well, seems like we will go psudo-greek. Also if we start taking over the forested areas, will our wood gaining jump as well? Or is that not going to be a thing and we just need more infrastructure.

This plan is fine, but we could make the capital walls out of marble, which for 300 more rupees give us +1 to morale, which would be useful.

LUSTFUL INCIDENT!!!!
1st: Teeth and eyes transformed. Will grow longer canines and sharper teeth. Will be able to see in the dark and will glow in the dark. Gives Link a feral countenance and an aura that intimidates others. lowers diplomacy by 1 to increase relations increases by 1 in all other situations.

2nd: Anmal features. Will give link Wolf ears and a Wolf tail. Link gains much better hearing though loud noises will hurt him and may paralyze him. Link is also vulnerable to having his ears scratched. Gains large cuteness appeal to all women. +1 diplomacy.

3rd: Musculerature transformed. Will become leaner and gain denser muscle. Increased combat ability and strength but will also grow more hair on his body making Link look more wolf like and less appealing.

4th: increase of fertility. Will grow larger and more Virile but will come at the price of increased lust.

5th: Link becomes a Wolfos entirely. Game over sequence. You run off and join all the other animals.

Lust thresholds are every two years except for the 5th and final threshold.

Miniturn ends here

Wait you mean to tell me Link's been going dry this whole time!

Yo @san why doesn't Link do what just about every Lord in this sort of time period does and just go to a high scale whore house or get a mistress. There are way to many easy and relatively cconsequence free ways to get laid in this sort of time period for him to have allowed his Lust problems to get this bad.

Although it's good to know this won't really become a pressing problem for at least 2- 4 turns. Im perfectly fine with getting the 1st threshold and am also rather ambivalent towards the 2nd one as well, it's the 3rd one i plan to avoid like the plague. Although this really shouldn't be a problem for long regardless, we should be done scouting all the major directions in 2 to 3 turns so we should have unlocked all the potential marriage options to go after long before 3rd threshold becomes a problem.
 
[]Plan: I am Turtle, hear my mighty roar

I'm good for this, sooner we get married, the better we can get to know our wife, and in time come to love her and our children.

edited: this takes MORE priority then making ourselves look awesome...
point: we can make ourselves more awesome after we kill the moblins and loot the ever living crap out of their lands...might get some good wood and resources! who knows they may have a hoard of rupee's hidden away and some other interesting loot! might even have something for champion class units! (aka lesser hero units that can be attached to battalions to be as both best combatants and morale boosters!)​

950 Metal, 150 left

Authority used: 13 of 13

Of these actions only kingdom wall is multi turn. Resource wise very little left over. Put a lot into scouting for resources as we are really short on metal to the point that we cant raise a spartan unit off a turn of metal income. It is our big limiter when it comes to raising troops so we need to work on fixing that.

Well... you finally learned why the Moblins never invaded you. They have been too busy setting up their own massive series of defenses to solidify their hold over Ordon Plains. Not only have they built a proper full sized Fortress in the center of it, but they also built at least a dozen small fortified camps throughout the plains. If you ever intend to take back Ordon plains for your people, you will be in for a full out war.

The scouts also thankfully managed to take out a small group of roaming Moblins and discovered communications between the main fortress and the Moblins homeland on them. The communications were plans of attack against you and your people! it turns out they are gathering their forces and intend to attack you within 1-3 years, the exact time of attack will depend on how quickly Moblins can be spared from their fighting with the other two Blin tribes to fight you. They intend to attack with a force of 40-60,000 Moblins of various types and several Giga boars making the coming battle to be very terrifying.

Rewards: -100 rupees, Revealed Ordon Plains, discovered new Moblin Fortress in central Ordon plains, learned roughly when the moblins will attack, Learned numbers the Moblins plan to attack with.

So lets assume this means

1 year = 40,000
2 years = 50,000
3 years = 60,000

We currently have 2100 units, and 10,000 Militia thanks to our resource limitation we can get at most 3000 units a turn. Take the max amount of turns we could have into account and that means, at most we can build up to 11,100 units and 10,000 Militia, giving us an absolute max total of 21,100 forces before they attack if they use all 3 turns.

san said:
oh they will still be good against regular Moblins... but their giga boars will slaughter them, their super heavy infantry will beat them, and their medium infantry will be able to hold their own against them somewhat, though they will still be somewhat butchered.

The problem is that regular moblins are super weak. I mean 5/10 effectiveness light shock infantry? almost anything you make can slaughter those guys. The medium infantry is about as strong as your hoplites though and they will generally be beaten in a straight fight against your cav. with 3-5 to 1 casualty ratio (you're the one.)
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Lets assume a slaughter means 6 to 1 casualties. There light units are shit so lets assume 3 to 1 causality vs our light units.

1000 Cataphracts are worth 3000 to 5000 of there medium infantry 6000 of there light units.
1000 Hoplites are worth 1000 of there medium infantry and 6000 of there light units.
1000 archers is worth 3000 of there light units.
1000 Militia is hopefully worth 1000 of there light units

Let me be blunt were not going to beat them in a straight fight, not on our best day. But we also can't just expect to turtle up and survive, we do that and they will ravage our lands. What we need is force multipliers, hit and run cavalry to destroy there supply lines and some other guerrilla warfare tactics.

Saying all that here's my plan.

Current Imperial Authority: 13
Current Treasury/Resources at the start of this year/turn:
Rupees: 5120 – 4200 = 720

Stone: 1400 – 1050 = 350

Wood: 900 – 800 = 100

Metal: 1100 – 600 = 500

Faith:
-[] Faith do nothing

This get's us started on the horse archers were going to need to destroy there supply lines and harass there forces and also starts us on whats going to be the majority of our units for the upcoming battle with the moblins, that being our archers and shield-men. It also gets us the force multipliers i mentioned in the form of anti Calvary training for all our infantry units and bombs for our archers and also hopefully for use in the creations of mines of some kind. This plan also kicks our secondary goal into high gear by getting us 2 more pair of scouts so we can find all the other big player much quicker and hopefully marry one of them as soon as possible. If were lucky and we happen to find Midna this turn we could marry her and get her forces to add onto our own which would change the entire military situation in our favor and get us much better options.

Really it's just a good thing the thresholds takes 2 turns each and don't actually really get negative until the 3rd one, so either way we have at least 4 turns on that front ( 2 if we want to get with a leader specifically so we can get there army to go with ours and help us out).

The time crunch is on.

Isn't 5 feet like a meter and a half? If it is, doesn't that mean that the small wall is essentially a chest high barricade you can stand on? The tallest is also what, 6 meters tall? The first one doesn't seem like it'll stop anything, and would barely offer the defensive boost as they don't even have to build siege equipment in order to climb it, just a friend or someone they trust to lift them up. The medium is already significantly better, but that just means its 3 meters high and repelling the siege equipment becomes difficult. The large one actually allows for proper repulsion of siege equipment and is only climbable if the blins actually build proper siege equipment or if the Elephant Boars ram the walls, repeatedly.

From all the plan that have been posted, I think this one is the best for us right now.
For those who want to raise horse archers in order to try and raid moblin supply lines, I have to point something out. If the moblins aren't lethally stupid, after they lose one of their supply lines to our cavalry, they will most likely assign boars to defend them, therefore rendering our horse archers useless. I think we should focus on infantry and maybe siege engines, as the latter might be more effective against the boars than anything else we have.

Oh and for peoples who wish created heavy infantry can i suggest you To envisage another name than spartan. I mean, this name was give a sparte Citizen so it don't make a lot of sense To give this name at our troops. Why not "immortals" ? A badass name gave To a badass units in persian and sassanid empire ;)

And for sidearm i suggest another weapon than short swords. Like san said It's not a very good weapon for heavy infantry. I think that a mace, and axe, a hammer or even a "normal swords should be better.

ok heres the thing about this. Hylians and Ordonians almost never get taller than 6 feet, and all but the super heavy moblins are about 5 feet 5 inches tall max. so not so much chest high as neck high.

a 3 meter wall still allows for ladders to be used, yes. It also allows for basically any kind of siege equipment even. But that just means it is on par with a regular castle wall IRL which was hellish to get into. I do NOT use video game logic when it comes to combat here, I use RL logic and knowledge which means if you want to know how effective they will be, look up how effective armor and castles were in real life.

But yes each level of height does improve defenses a fair bit, but don't discount even the smallest wall as it provides a fairly high amount of defense itself still and remember, wall height is BEFORE considering Battlements. With them it adds an extra 6 feet of 1 foot thick stone with lots of gaps and holes for arrow fire.
 
Well this situation is a lot more dire then I thought it would be. That being the case I'll go with.

[X] Plan: That's a lot of Moblins

It covers most of our bases the only thing left to do is make more of the light Calvary and some heavy infantry next turn and we should be capable of locking them in place and ravaging there flanks and supply lines. Here's hoping things go to plan.
