That is excellent news.
One more thing: when a unit of warriors that only has one combat weapon attacks but some of it's warriors are unengaged at the time of the first attack, does that count as those warriors not having attacked yet?

Icchan

After reading the Attack action rules for a hundredth time, I'm none the wiser so with my hat in my hand I turn to wise in search of clarity. Let's say I have a big unit of twenty Holumenn do an indirect engagement to an enemy unit of twenty Wihtgars. After completing my move, let's say fifteen of m...

Icchan

As a result of this thread I've been rereading the Attack action pages over and over again and I'm even more baffled than before. I though I had a grasp on how attacking works but it turns out I really don't. I'll start a separate thread so this won't get cluttered...

Icchan

Being difficultly seen doesn't matter in melee combat, it's only a modifier for Shoot or Sighted Invokes.

Icchan

I've yet to come up with an effective counter strategy against them (bar using Atalantes). So far I've tried: - Shooting them with lightning spells with Troll Gothi. Sometimes works, but because they're difficultly seen thanks to Licwaca's lamp, it's mostly down to luck to even hit them. Not very co...

Icchan

Having been on the receiving end of 30 something shots with Skill 50 Might 50 volley shooting Wihtbogas, I can definitely say they feel a bit cheesy.

Icchan

"The ability refers to foresters being able to treat woods as open terrain for the purposes of movement."
I think you answered that one yourself.

Icchan

Wait, you can Attack as a reaction to an Attack reaction?

Icchan

Allright, but what's the weakness of Gasts? With Gast Cyning they have extremely high Skill and Might, they're almost impossible to hit with ranged weapons and they pretty much devastate anything they gaze at.

Icchan

Low skills are pretty common for monsters though, so the issue still remains. I have also witnessed the absurd power of the Gast Cyning's and it's Gast's gaze power. So much more powerful than their melee attacks, that they don't really want to get into melee.

Icchan

Cheers, that's what I wanted to hear. Excellent.

Icchan

So if there's nothing in their way, they can't side shuffle and end up only 1mm closer to the enemy?

Icchan

I'm confused, wouldn't they need to move in the direction they're facing?

Icchan

In 6.2.2.2 under Walk Action it says that Walkers under Attack orders can only Change Direction to face an enemy unit, does this effectively turn the Walk move into a Direct move? If it is a direct move and there's an impassable obstacle (terrain, bigger friendly warrior, etc.) that they can't walk ...

Icchan

Part of Islam's quick success in the byzantines was probably due to Byzantine being exhausted from a previous war (in our world). It's possible that with the alliance with the Infernii, they wouldn't have been so weak and would have been able to squash the islamic uprising or at least severely slow ...

Icchan

Alright, got it.

Icchan

How is this spell supposed to work exactly? It's a sight invocation that can only target friendly automatons. It also has maximum range and lethal range. Do we apply all standard modifiers when I target an automaton unit?

Icchan

Concerning the Toxokolossos; at first glance they seemed great, walking ballistas, but the truth settled in quite quickly after a few test games with them. Main issues with them is the very low skill, extremely low number of dice, pitiful might, prohibitive cost and rare ubiquity. I couldn't think o...

Icchan

A mix of gigantic and not-gigantic makes sense to me with a Joined unit, but not with a Bound unit when the gap between could be quite large. In some instances you can even fit a whole other unit between the bound units and they're not affected by the gigantic unit in any way! I will conced the ride...

Icchan

Couldn't find this in the shoot action shot distribution rules, but are shot dice distributed to warriors that were unseen/concealed by terrain from the shooting unit? Technically their evade rolls would become difficult if they can't see the attacker. This also has the weird interaction when a boun...

Icchan

As a non-English speaker it never occured to me that it could be pronounced "-lights". Thanks for the info though.

Icchan

Is there a reason hoplites in Darklands are written as Oplites? Ancient greeks wrote it as oplites, but there's a diacritic on the first O meaning it's pronounced with a heavy breathing sound, like the sound of the letter h, which is why it's often translated to hoplite and oplite. But what's the re...

Icchan

Can I use Hrafns as pressed messengers? I just want to be able to say it: "Send a raven"

Icchan

Allright, back from another, went a bit differently this time, heheh… From what I gathered from gleaning the rules, since flyers essentially have line of sight to everything on the ground and vice versa, landing a circler behind the back of an enemy unit wouldn't really work since they can almost al...

Icchan

Ah, okay so that's something that we've been playing wrong, but in our instance wouldn't have made a difference. The wihtbogas had already fired that turn and as a result were all facing their target, leaving their rear flank completely blind. Ok, so if dive is indirect engagement, do they still get...

Icchan

It's entirely possible we've been playing flyers (specifically soarers) completely wrong and this whole point is moot, in which case I'd be glad to find out if I'm wrong. So far in our games, a single soarer has almost completely dominated the outcome of the game, in our last game a gunnhrafn landed...

Icchan

This almost made me want to move to England.

Icchan

I painted a Felltroll!

Icchan

Some day I will get to play a game that size… Some day...

Icchan

Excellent!

Icchan

In the case of the Jutes, I think the best option would be a low ranking commander RIDING a spider or a bat and so be a scout/flanker commander ;) I like the vassal scout commander idea, not sold on the 1-1-3-4 yet. How about limiting the vassal scout commanders so that their total combined authorit...

Icchan

Jutes and the Spiders. They're Foresters, so can Scout (I think). Also their bats are scouts as well, but they don't have any scout commanders. Many can get Flanker ability if you buy them a horse though.

Icchan

Sorry my first post wasn't very clear, but what I'm trying to get to, is if it's okay to give a commander of a unit Scout of Flank orders, if the commander doesn't have the Scout or Flank ability? What I'm trying to achieve is putting some flankers or scouts under the command of a different commande...

Icchan

Does that apply during deployment?

Icchan

Icchan

Can I give Flank or Scout orders to units in a command that's under Move order for example?

Icchan

You can't ambush anyway if you emerge in the open. You can still ambush f.e. if you emerge from terrain,

Icchan

Yeah that's what I meant, just wasn't 100% sure that directly towards is the same as direct movement . I'm kind of a robot brain, I like it when game terms act like keywords. :) Shit, for some reason I just assumed they don't care about coherency (which made sense to me since they were broken and fl...

Icchan

I meant individual warriors with multiple, you got it. Thanks. Would probably help if all movements were somehow defined as direct movement (turn only at starting point) and indirect movement (turn at any point), whenever warriors are required to move. Another question if we played the fleeing unit ...

Icchan

A unit tomb spiders wanted to emerge from a forest, but since I could see most of the forest area template, there was no space for all of the three spiders to emerge on any of the forests on the board, so can they then emerge in the open? Forester ability says they can only emerge from forests, but ...

Icchan

Not sure if we played this entirely correctly, but last night my unit of trolls lost combat to a unit of tomb spiders and failed their panic reaction and were forced to flee. As a result of the flee move, they were pretty scattered around the board (I rolled a 9 on the flee distance, but so did the ...

Icchan

If a warrior is in a shieldwall, do they also get parry modifiers from having parry equipment, including the shield?

Icchan

Gast Cyning is rare and compels a unit of Gasts which are also rare, but only one rare unit can be in a command. Does the commanders rarity not count then for the purposes of ubiquity slots in a command?

Icchan

Minor thing, but under 1 · 1 · 4 · 2 · 3 COMMON title there's this passage:
" In larger battles, they must be included as they are so readily available."
Which is no longer true, there's no minimum amounts for common troops anymore based on game size.

Icchan

Troll Jarl and Troll Gothi in the Norse muster says their strength is 1 although base size is 60mm. If I buy the sword and axe combat weapon option for holumenn, do they also get the ability to use either sword or axe with a shield, or are they always forced two the sword and axe two handed, thus ma...

With the current rules, jute's support host is unplayable as wihtbogas can't be compelled. Moreover, the wihtbogas come with a human commander, shouldn't it be a wiht thain?

Icchan

Eta on the next update?

Icchan

I don't think you can react to a reaction.

Icchan

Tarvox in Fomoraic muster says it has 4 hands and it has 5 combat weapon options that each require one hand. One however is it's horn butt. That don't seem right. EDIT: Nevermind, I was reading an older version. I'm an idiot. :oops: EDIT2: I'm really glad warrior Strength is now listed, that helps o...
