I'd say we are about a year late publishing the paper on Skaven tactics that could have dramatically altered the outcome of the attacks on the under kingdom and that now holding out will just make us look bad.
It's the part where they take their belongings with them that makes that less than optimal.
Not happening. We asked to borrow one of Thorek's apprentices for our Neutral tower, but then it turns out Kragg is territorial about his stuff and came in and did it himself.
I do appreciate that our potentially poor decision-making can be immediately made up for by all this swag we've been accumulating.
you know it explodes right
Technically, the Triad is a Rare unit. Doesn't even take a character slot.
So something I've raised regularly now is why should Qrech be able to underatand and translate the magical lexicon of queekish, when he is a person who spent his time learning how to fight off raids and technical documentation and is not a mage of any of the Skaven magical traditions.
"BRB, taking Kazador and the Azul Throng to retake Karak Dhraz, I'm sure it's vulnerable now."
If we can get the sorcerer separate from the assassins, which the voting options suggest we can, it's not going to be all that dangerous. First spell burns their brain, and if they somehow manage to deal us a lethal wound they die and we get back up (because we may not have allies for their mooks to be busy fighting, but we do have the fact the Skaven are busy fighting each other)
Once everything other than the technical jargon is translated Mathilde, having a grounding in both Ulgu-based and Dhar-based magic, would likely be able to piece together much of the meaning of the remaining words - the ones that Qrech doesn't know.
Actionable intelligence is actionable right now, next year its old news.
The thing is that thanks to him we have gotten a lot of the technical stuff that you won´t expect from someone so low on the pecking order (he was at best a 2nd lieutenant) so I have hope that if we get him magic Skaven books he will be able to translate them.
"MATTY NO"
Likely Mathilde. Dragon is still Dragon.
I'm imagining Belegar as a 1960s housewife chasing after Mathilde with a brown paper bag as shes heading to war.
Dwarf Reputation attribution is based in great part on association and stuff like employment, I think; the Dwarves care a lot more about a grudged foe being taken down by somebody employed by or otherwise related to dwarves than if it were just a random orc who got them. From extrapolation, it'll probably be Mathilde who'll be credited with its recovery, under the reasoning that she was the Loremaster who got her hands on it as the first representative of the dwarves. Or, at least, that's my guess.
Perhaps she could, just the Eshin sections. Which leaves the Lords of Plague, Masters of Mutation, and Grey Seer lore. It sounds like more trouble than its worth to do the Eshin stuff as a higher priority than getting the general use and technical dictionary out when our allies are actively fighting the Skaven and could use it as it stands right now for massive benefit because we've hit the stuff that is relevant to the largest cross section of people by this point.
As a wise elf once said: "As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero".
No, the one who brings Mathilde mercenaries has to be Anton. If we're gonna get a stay-at-home husband, it has to be him. Anyone else would be a downgrade.
Yeah. Specifically here's the quote of what he said about that:
I don´t think that is much of a longshot, If Eshin is destroyed we get all the loot of Yar, and once Zilfin is cleaned in a few weeks we would also get everything they have left... So I think that our chances of getting our hands on magical texts are pretty decent...
