Something like the difference between "Paskrit will conquer Nippon and Cathay and Mourne, with general objectives (insert) and the resources of (insert)" and "Paskrit will conquer Nippon, Cathay and Mourne, insert general strategy"
Put in in the empire of man and we could get them to exterminate their own citizens. Except make the language just the dark tongue so they don't suspect us.
Oh, so something like this, then, or something similar?
Pretty much, yeah.
On the flip side, will you punish us if a write-in or plan got voted in that you felt was actually inferior to what the Skaven general in charge would normally have come up with if left to their own devices?
Hmm, good question. Probably depends on the hero unit - if it was really that bad of a plan, depending on their character some would probably creatively reinterpret/ignore Thanquol's orders (which your votes are representations of, remember) and some would follow them, which ... well, I wouldn't say punish, but it might lead to non-desirable results depending on what the plan is? The only thing I can think of that I'd outright punish you guys for is if you voted in something that blatantly utilizes meta knowledge that you couldn't possibly know IC, and even then I'd probably tell you guys beforehand 'uh hey you don't technically know that'.
Is the level of details/plans we did this turn in Cathay desirable? Would you even be okay with more detail/micro? Or do you want less and you'll take it from there so long as the ideas are sound?
Oh yeah what you gave me this turn was pretty good. I haven't gotten to writing that bit up yet since the Dark Lands ramifications are pretty extensive, but it seems pretty sound to me - having plagues unleashed in Cathay in tandem with convincing ogres to go a-conquering and then fucking up their coastal defended just before Nippon launches an invasion? That has plenty of opportunity for drama and coolness to me. So yeah, keep doing what you're doing.
Wow. Dark Lands was that big a Deal? What in particular was so huge, aside from the whole Skaven settling on the surface in the first place?
Well...it's transformational. I originally wrote it as the rebirth of the Skaven nation. Usually Clans are going to be scrambling against each other in some fashion as competition for homes and resources and so on, but I wanted it so that everyone gets a piece of the pie of this vast new area.
Look at what hero units you left unassigned.
They either weren't necessarily the best for the tasks we came up with or I deliberately wanted to get 2nd tier Heroes involved to season them.
Is it Morskittar? He's the big one I can see, on account of being a huge narcissist, and I don't think anyone else unassigned would be as willing to rock the boat in the early End Times.Look at what hero units you left unassigned.
There's also something that's blindingly obvious in hindsight at the same time that it's completely out of left field. Needless to say I'll be keeping that particular edit in reserve until I finish the turn
There's also Packlord Verminkin, I believe. The stuff in the Daek Lands is primarily administrative and logistics based, and he definitely knows that shit. It's why we considered him AND Goldfang.
You assume it was limited to one person.
Whatcha need?You assume it was limited to one person.
As an aside, I'm approximately ... 60? Something like 60ish percent done. Maybe 70.
11k in so far.
Help me
It's a rhetorical plea to illustrate that my muse won't let me not go excessively grandiose on this.
I know, I was hoping you'd say nice things to me even as you gave platitudes of how it's under control.
Yeah, you said 'heroes' plural, but somewhere in there I imagine Morskittar's involved, as IIRC, he was also involved in the initial invasion (or at least making the Drill fiends.)
Oh, he's involved, yeah.
