On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

So, actually a few questions. What are the Demon types out there? I have a general idea of what each chaos god has, but what are the Odd ones out?

Also, could there be a bunch of extra types of demons? Because pre vortex means they don't have to be efficient with their magic use, and so could have lots of small, even more specialized demons for specific tasks

I mean at the very least their are furies which are flying monkey thing... their some in 40k called brutes they appear to be thier just to smash things and may not appear in this given it's fantasy.

You'd have to be more specific. The daemon types are typically split into which Chaos God they follow/are apart of. This far back there might be a couple minor chaos gods that can have their servants summoned I guess which might be new?

Each chaos god has a vast range of different kinds of daemons in the fluff, I believe, they just have some favourites which show up most frequently because it makes it easier to sell a more limited range of models.

Because we are making our mountains like Vietnam to invade, with all of our defence building actions

Yes, but each chaos god has lots of aspects, and there are many demon types, even within the followers of a specific god iirc, so I was thinking that with more magic to work with some otherwise inefficient or too specialized forms of demon may be used

Are there any weird ones for demons? Beyond Khorne=strength, Tzeentch=magic, Slannesh=dexterity, and Nurgle=endurance

Because if there are, before the vortex seems like exactly the time they'd be used

Honestly, our defenses give me more of a WW1 trench network feeling, what with Defense. In. Depth. and being designed to cause horrendous casualties to any attacker.

we must go defense in depth part 2, building a hold under the hold, with its own set of defenses

Oh god no, we have already spent a ton of time on defense and it's getting ridiculous to the point people already started pushing spending 3 turns straight on doing nothing but defenses. Think we should lay off defense focus for a long while and get back to working on actual Rune stuff.

It's more than likely a reference to the forum-legendary reclamation of Karak Ungor in torroar's Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism, which stretched over a mind-boggling 92 updates, primarily due to the insane difficulty lying in actually wresting a prepared enemy out of a well-fortified dwarf karak. The moniker 'mountain vietnam' cropped up because the campaign stretched out so long that even the author was getting fatigued by the end.

Truthfully I still haven't actually read through it all myself.

Well worth it, even if it was a complete slog. The time factor was I think it took a year or 2 actual time to get through with it because even torroar was getting burnt out, especially with everyone seemingly complaining about how long it was taking.

Not everyone. A handful of loud people in a thread of three hundred players.

It is a loss to be sure. But for a good cause.

The cat sleeps.

Either that or they like not being clawed up and then pissed on. Either option would be a powerful motivator.

I wish that we could make defenses that would upgrade themselves over time.

I feel like any finite amount of defense we make will not be enough, but if we could make an ever growing defense...
