What's up with Tyrion? Do we know anything about him?

What's up with Tyrion? Do we know anything about him?

Click to shrink...

He was a wizard or learning to be one.

 

[Crake]

Well, if he's like Lanna and Tygett, he's been completely enthralled to serve Tywin, likely as ablative armor given all the care he shows for him.

I find it a bit odd that neither Lanna, Gerion or Tyrion managed to evade magical enslavement, despite being in charge of all the enslaving for Tywin for years. That's the kinda thing you'd wanna protect yourself against ASAP.

I guess Tywin just shelled out for premium collars and chains. Hard to think how you'd get punked by something like that. What's the word? Poetic? Ironic? Both.

Reminds me of the Court of Stars learning that it sucks to be on the receiving end of "supremely powerful supernatural entity who is unwilling to change their goals/methods and has greater power/resources than you"

Did some more developing since I can't sleep yet again.

There's now a proper sense of campaigning, with maneuvering and combat happening over the course of the month, including multiple clashes of the armies. Each day, units try to skirmish with each other, causing minuscle damage in the process. However, each time a skirmish happens, there is a chance for a battle to start. Depending on how well the Maneuverability of the involved units and potential support is, additional units join the whole event. Once the battle is resolved, everyone returns to what they have been doing. Furthermore, each day, the units have a chance to reorganize themselves.

Retreat in battle does not mean retreat from the province. Only when a force is clearly outnumbered and outmaneuvered in the campaign will they try to flee the province entirely.

In this example, we don't have any fancy skirmishing first. Both armies clash in full on the first day and deal heavy damage to each other. While the Imperial Legions are a good bit worse for the wear, it's the Devils who have the worst of it though and they are forced to retreat. However, with both sides exhausted, they don't flee the province yet entirely, instead retreating and skirmishing with imperial forces for a few days while both sides try to get back into fighting shape.

On the 5th, a limited battle is started between three Imperial Legions and the worst hit of the lesser Devil hosts, supported by their more senior forces. The Devils immediately try to break the engagement and manage a retreat in decent enough order, though they lose more forces yet again, which they can hardly afford at the moment.

On the 7th, the deciding battle occurs. The Legions had enough time to regroup sufficiently to force another engagement on their terms and this time, the Devils don't manage a good retreat. Their main Legion manages to retreat, but that badly hit lesser host is encircled and destroyed entirely. Now utterly outmatched, the Devils start to fall back and leave the province, started with their main host buggering off and leaving the disorganized lesser Devils to fend for themselves. It takes two days, until the 9th, for one of these hosts to also escape.

Their last host is unable to flee as it keeps getting harassed by Imperial Legions, but it can still manage to escape an encirclement for the longest while. It takes until the 16th for their luck to run out and they are boxed in and erradicated by the entire Imperial forces in the province. The remainder of the month sees no more battle, as the survivors lick their wounds.



I think this looks good so far.

 

[Crake]

Did some more developing since I can't sleep yet again.

There's now a proper sense of campaigning, with maneuvering and combat happening over the course of the month, including multiple clashes of the armies. Each day, units try to skirmish with each other, causing minuscle damage in the process. However, each time a skirmish happens, there is a chance for a battle to start. Depending on how well the Maneuverability of the involved units and potential support is, additional units join the whole event. Once the battle is resolved, everyone returns to what they have been doing. Furthermore, each day, the units have a chance to reorganize themselves.

Retreat in battle does not mean retreat from the province. Only when a force is clearly outnumbered and outmaneuvered in the campaign will they try to flee the province entirely.

In this example, we don't have any fancy skirmishing first. Both armies clash in full on the first day and deal heavy damage to each other. While the Imperial Legions are a good bit worse for the wear, it's the Devils who have the worst of it though and they are forced to retreat. However, with both sides exhausted, they don't flee the province yet entirely, instead retreating and skirmishing with imperial forces for a few days while both sides try to get back into fighting shape.

On the 5th, a limited battle is started between three Imperial Legions and the worst hit of the lesser Devil hosts, supported by their more senior forces. The Devils immediately try to break the engagement and manage a retreat in decent enough order, though they lose more forces yet again, which they can hardly afford at the moment.

On the 7th, the deciding battle occurs. The Legions had enough time to regroup sufficiently to force another engagement on their terms and this time, the Devils don't manage a good retreat. Their main Legion manages to retreat, but that badly hit lesser host is encircled and destroyed entirely. Now utterly outmatched, the Devils start to fall back and leave the province, started with their main host buggering off and leaving the disorganized lesser Devils to fend for themselves. It takes two days, until the 9th, for one of these hosts to also escape.

Their last host is unable to flee as it keeps getting harassed by Imperial Legions, but it can still manage to escape an encirclement for the longest while. It takes until the 16th for their luck to run out and they are boxed in and erradicated by the entire Imperial forces in the province. The remainder of the month sees no more battle, as the survivors lick their wounds.



I think this looks good so far.

Using your Praetorian Guard organization post as an example, how would you stat up a Praetorian unit? Presumably being a mixture of Warstriders, a decent number of ground attacking craft, air-to-air craft, enough transports for all of them, and a chunk of caster Praetorians mixed in with a huge chunk of initiator ones, going by the post.

Incidentally, this is an immensely costly unit type due to the combined arms nature of it... but presumably that means it has fairly good all-rounder statistics, with a huge amount of physical offensive and long-range capability. It's not functionally unlimited speed and unfettered maneuverability strategically, compared to instant teleportation of the entire unit... but tactically it would prove to be largely the same, since they can re-engage any force within 1 hour of distance, or forever play keepaway with anyone without similar advantages.

Due to the movement matters, I'm still kinda drawing a blank there. I'll need to solve aerial units in general before I can even begin to ponder hybrid units.

In general... high defense across the board. Light death abd psychic damage from casters, but massive physical damage from everything else. Very high org and readiness. Extreme maneuverability.

Costly in the extreme, but worth it.

Those are costly enough on their own that maybe they should only apply to the Advanced Legions.

Let's see how this works, might take a while though since this is the last battle with no battle system

  -[X] Make some retroactive adjustments.
  -[X] Dauntless:
  --[X] Take 100 of the Praetori from Kings Landing along to bolster the Dauntless own forces, just in case they somehow found a way that would allow them to board.
  --[X] Keep out of the range of the weapon emplacements of Casterly Rock and shell them from afar. Do some range finding with solid shots first, then switch to High Explosive and Inferno shells once you are certain to hit the weapon emplacements. If any are protected by Force effects or similar defenses, use Wildfyre rounds on them.
  --[X] Beetle Bombs are kept in reserve until and if any Constructs show. If so, wait until they far enough in the air to prevent retreat, then strike them with High Explosive and Liquid Ice Beetle Bombs.
  --[X] If any Constructs, especially swarms, get close enough, the Launcher emplacements and Steam Projectors will use focused fire to bring them down immediately. Use Brilliant Barriers to protect the hull from splash damage caused by setting off explosives that close to the vessel.
  -[X] Assault Team 1:
  --[X] Due to the new information, you will split your underground assault into two teams. The first of which will use burrowing creatures to bypass the Formian hive and to strike directly at the treasury and the Shaitan mercenaries, with the ultimate goal being to capture the keep and Tywin.
  --[X] Use the following for that:
  ---[X] 400x Praetori
  ---[X] 13x Light Warstrider, 15x Warstrider, 4x Heavy Warstrider
  ---[X] 20x Black Brutes with Blood Clot Molds
  ---[X] 20x Elder Water Elementals (CR 11)
  ---[X] Garin (Free Action), Nuri (Free Action), Aradia (Free Action), Benerro
  ---[X] 10x Verdant Phoenix, 50x Dawnbloom Leshy
  ---[X] 10x Watchmole, 100x Plant Imbued Shadow Cats
  ---[X] The former infiltration assets (10x Vigilant Hunter, 10x Lindworm, 10x Greater Bloodclot Mold) will start the battle with a surprise attack on the Lannisters command posts and most secured facilities, then aid by digging tunnels.
  --[X] During the battle, Garin, Nuri and Aradia will sneak off and look for Tywin in the chaos.
  --[X] The Black Brutes and Water Elementals will focus on the Golems, as they are immune against the worst of the Gold Golems prismatic abilities and can easily destroy them in melee. Any Molds that have their hosts destroyed will keep moving with the forces and assist by casting necromancy and illusion spells.
  -[X] Assault Team 2:
  --[X] This force will distract and eradicate the Formian hive with all means necessary. If possible, they will capture the Formian leadership for interrogation and research.
  ---[X] Qyburn, who will focus on pushing through to the heart of the Formian hive, capturing as much of it's leadership as possible and erradicating the rest
  ---[X] 2x Black Champions with Greater Bloodclot Molds, 4x Black Brute with Greater Bloodclot Mold, 5x Snatching Terrors with Greater Bloodclot Mold and 30x Paralyzing Snatchers with Bloodclot Molds as Qyburns personal guard
  ---[X] 20x Watchmole, who will use Wall of Thorns to funnel the Formians into kill-zones and their eye rays to sap the constitution of all enemies near them
  ---[X] 100x Plant Imbued Shadow Cats, who will use Entagle to hinder the Formians and setting them up for AoE attacks
  ---[X] 100x Dawnbloom Leshy, who will focus on any hostile undead encountered
  ---[X] 20x Black Champions with Greater Blood Clot Molds, who will focus on spellcasting and protecting VIPs, using Fell Drain Black Tentacles, Blood Mist and Necrotic Skull Bomb against hostile groups, and Thanatopic Enervation, Chill Touch and Dispel Magic against hostile leadership. Use blood points harvested from their kills to replenish spells on the fly.
  ---[X] 15x Necro-Kraken with Greater Blood Clot Molds, who will use their bulk to block passages and then advance, tentacles first, to clear them
  ---[X] 60x Black Wardens with Necrotic Molds
  ---[X] 5x Heralds, who will focus on the areas with the heaviest fighting to burn massive numbers of Formians, with 30x Elemental Wyrmlings (Fire) for backup and healing
  ---[X] 10x Mushroom Golems
  ---[X] 150x Large Water Elementals (CR 5), 50x Greater Water Elementals
  ---[X] 500x Spitters and 1,409x Spitter Swarms
  ---[X] 2,000x Fireflies with mixed alchemical ammunitions, including Wildfyre charges for a rainy day
  ---[X] 250x Black Knights with Mobility Upgrade
  --[X] They will intentionally use plenty of fire to deplete the oxygen in the tunnels, which is very lethal for the Formians and irrelevant for the Watch-creatures and Undead compromising this force.
  -[X] Viserys and his team will stay on the Dauntless for a while longer to follow developments and then deploy once more information is available to decide where they can do the most good.

guys I have an idea , lets resurrect the great sea serpent Naga and empower her as a divine champion of either Yiss or the Ferryman maybe even broker a deal between them to get both involved in the empowering , considering Naga's size and legend pulse the empowering we might be able to get a CR30 monster which will go a long way to secure the iron islands and the western coast of westeros at least or out right destroy deep one presence in the sun set sea as at CR30 we are at the kind of power that can delete nations so there would be no small chance for a newly resurrected and empowered Naga to outright solo the deep one stronghold in the sun set sea along with any outposts and villages in the region , we even have Naga's remains in our control as its in the shadow of its massive remains that the iron born would elect their kings

The naga bones that the ironborn elect their kings beneath are actually petrified weirwood in this quest, so we couldn't use them for that.

Update in beta. We start with Viserys because there is a vote to be had.

I am confident in the fact that I do not want to run another battle without a system no matter how long it takes.

And by the way, Ferrego being an institutionalist?

My man!

Spoiler

Of course in D&D he's wrong. Long-term institutions are critical, but in the short and medium-term "exceptional individuals" like Viserys or his Companions are what matters. Forget geopolitics: a strike team of lv20 PCs with good gear can and will win most wars before they're even fought.
And that's why I kept pushing for Scry and Die all the time until I figured out that people were against it for both Doylist and Watsonian reasons.

After getting more likes on this old post, I've given some thought to finding the best environment to produce war-winning PCs.

On the one hand, a hostile environment full of dangerous monsters naturally produces smaller but higher level population. IIRC in the 3.0 DMG there were rules for this (I never thought to check if 3.5 has it and I'm away from my books right now), and "the mountains beyond the wall" were by far the best. Every single adult there would likely have hit the level 5 cap, and probably broken through slightly (IIRC the average level for an experienced fighter there would be 6-8). Of course in ASWAH there's been a lack of monsters and most threats have been low CR and unlikely to push someone that high, but in a normal magical D&D setting this does make sense. A hostile environment full of monsters seems best to breed high-level PCs, right?

Well, on second thought that's not entire true. Such an environment is primed to breed suboptimal classes (except for Clerics), lack of crafting materials and labs, and a focus on the small-scale world due to a lack of infrastructure and international trade. This last thing could cause a lack of higher-level threats, stalling development and inhibiting PC usefulness. A major city breeds far weaker citizens, but it also has the capability to properly equip and train T1 classes like Wizard + get them involved in extraplanar fights and whatnot.
Ideally, you want a bit of both. Hyper-wealthy megacities that concentrate knowledge, PrC trainers, T1 classes, magical gear... And all around them, enough threats to ensure there's a regular supply of new baby PCs.

Conclusion: A setting that looks a bit like Tippyverse (or even just "points of light" where the main points are more like bonfires) is needed to ensure long-term production of high-level PCs to preserve the polity. Arguably, deliberate non-eradication of local threats in the hinterlands is also needed, so as to combine the ECL 6-8 citizen factory with the ability to equip them, retrain them and point them at higher-level threats once they reach ECL 6-8. Unfortunately this doesn't exactly breed loyalty among those citizens (unless you somehow hide the fact that you could have improved their lives). It seems best to instead focus on a Good approach that helps massive areas and generates loyalty, while also failing to focus enough effort on one place to permanently make it better. There could be megacities which protect their local areas/continents, and then massive secondary protectorates (possibly off-plane and full of LA+0 human colonists you can replenish every generation). You might have to limit immigration to the megacities to make this work. Regular disasters and demonic invasions will help replenish monster supply, so keep your megacities at war against BBEG polities who can generate them!
This final approach absolutely is something Viserys could do.

I expect the rest of the turn to take no less than an IRL month regardless.
Even with DP cutting out and abstracting all combat, we still have plenty of actions to get reports on.
Rumor-mills, the post-Reconquest stuff including handling the fuck-up that is Westeros, dealing with Quarth, all the RAs assigned this month (and at least 3 do deserve proper chapters), DP tolling through tomb-raising efforts by Legion of PCs, etc.

A lot of stuff, is what I'm trying to say.
You have the time.

Problem is that all the solutions I have for the handling of aerial units require some degree of spatial information to work. Which means I need to parse the maps and model the data there.

That's... non-trivial.
