Question on Dragontooth artefact in Brythoniaid muster. There's the possibility that the Called Draig will exceed the maximum size of the unit. What should happen in this case? While it should be obvious, nothing in the rules for the artefact says that the Called Draig unit has no options (champion,...

My most recent game featured humans vs monsters. Monsters represent the cool factor of Darklands, and have all sorts of cool abilities: Mighty Strike, Terrible/Vicious Damage, etc. However, monsters have low skill compared to humans, which means that they won't be able to trigger those abilities on ...

Interesting; potential for an all Miercenary army one day? Back in the day, my sister had a Dogs of War army for WFB and it was easily one of the most interesting at the time Check out the Sell-Swords muster: http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/darklands_second_edition/darklands_kindred_sell-swords_mu...

Hmmm not sure if he can be the general - I don't think any host warriors can be. I'll have a think about that. Using Brythoniaid as an example, Uchelwr could be the general. They can take the options to be the Host Banner Bearer or Host Herald (unless I'm missing something). My belief is that the c...

So "General Hornblower" could be a thing?

Gwaelod suffers from the low authority of the Prifdyndraig, low skill of Dyndraig, and that all units are “wild” or “feral”. The low authority of the Prifdyndraig means that the army will often not have the initiative against human-led forces. This also means that issuing new orders may be less effe...

I have a piggy-back question. I'm looking at the Brythoniaid muster (2.01), specifically the Prifdyndraig. I see that Cadben may be taken as companion warchief, and that the Cadben can muster some other units. However, Prifdyndraig are only from the realm of Gwaelod, and the Cadben and the other uni...

jereme

That is an excellent addition. Gives you another unit of men, a warchief, and some monstrous infantry.

Your dyndraig/cawrdraig are wild and have a fairly low skill compared to humans. I've leaned into rhelfwr as the bulk of my force, as they have volley shoot. Teulu are elite, and can effectively pull off some things like falling back in the face of a charge. If you don't want to double up, both of t...

The Werbera Thegn has his muster abilities Compel, Influence, and Kinsman attached to his bear form, but he starts the battle in human form. Am I correct in assuming that these abilities can be used during mustering? Beowa, another Gesceap, has his muster abilities attached to his human form.

Uhtred is the only sell-sword that says "or as a noble individual, general or commander" in his rules. No other sell-sword include the "general" text. Does that mean that he is the only sell-sword that can be a general outside of his home kindred? Or can any sell-sword commander ...

I'm reading through Muster Rules 2.13 regarding mustering Individuals. I see three cases: ⋅ Profiles marked as "Individual" from the host's realm ⋅ Nobles from the host's realm whose authority exceeds the general's ⋅ Sell-swords I don't see anything talking ab...

I posted two updates today which include a significant change to how you muster a host. The tool now more closely follows the narrative of the muster rules, where you muster leaders before you muster commands, etc. So far, data for Brythoniaid, Norse, Infernii, and most of Anglecynn should be loaded.

As promised, here's the link to the alpha version of my Darklands Muster tool: http://darklands-test.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ With it, you should be able to Review the Musters (like the PDFs, but filtered by Realm), Muster a Host, and Edit Profiles. At present, the only data that's curren...

Don't you need an uncommon to go with those rares? If not, my gwaelod host just became tenable again.

jereme

Thank you. I'll have to think about how to incorporate the sky blue.

jereme

Does anyone know anything about Gwelod heraldry (colors, devices, etc)? Sure, I could make things up, but I'd like to be able to say "The official colors of Cantref Gwaelod during this period were pink and blue, and their device was an inverted sheep. Really. I read it on the internet"

jereme

I love the skin on Bloodmaw. How'd you do it?

jereme

I can see several interesting uses for it that go beyond just negating the marked unit's activation. It really is more of a "de-buff" than directly offensive.

jereme

the question is more about duration than how unsighted works.

Example: Gythja invokes Battle-blinder on a Lively unit of Bow-Drunes, making them unsighted. The Ysian player then activates the Bow-Drunes, Battle-blinder ends, and the Bow-Drunes, now Sighted, proceed to shoot the Gythja.

jereme

From Norse Profiles, v 1.6, Gythja Invocations: Marked unit becomes unsighted until the beginning of their next activation. It appears that this invocation is useful in preventing Charge Reactions and Defender's Attack Move/shoot/attack/invoke, as well as interfering with Receiving New Orders. It do...

From 11.1.3.1 of the Quickstarter rules, version 10.6: Charged units performing the Hold and Shoot Charge reaction (thus called Holding and Shooting units) Turn to Face the Charging unit and immediately perform a Shoot action (with the Charging unit being the only potential Target unit) immediately ...

Nothing in the Bard's Hearten ability rules says anything about Kindred or Realm or command restrictions for the effects.

Muster Rules version 2.3, section 4.6 supports you. Your mustered host looks good.

jereme

Looking at 7.13.1.1 and 7.13.1.2, it appears that you could Join all of your allied nobles into one unit when mustered. If there's no "authority burden" from the joined nobles, then your list is legal once you move Ffion to the allied contingent.

However, Rob may have a different answer.

Angelcynn muster 1.10 and Brythoniaid 1.6... Æthelglyth's authority is 85, and requires a unit of Duguth (which you have). Duguth are authority 23, and Waelwulf unit is 27, so that command's Command Authority is 50, which is less than Æthelglyth's 85, so is legal. so far, you've satisfied the need f...

jereme

A reference to 7.13.1.1 should probably be added to the muster rules. As the joined unit is lead by the noble, and the noble is the general, does that mean that there's no impact to Command Authority (muster rules, 4.4) for that unit? For example, my Gwynedd host is led by a Teyrn (authority 88). He...

jereme

Reading through the muster rules, I see that nobles automatically lead units they are present in. I believe, but didn't hunt down the specific rule which states, that nobles may join units during the battle. Is it possible for nobles to join a unit during the muster process if they don't have an exp...

It makes sense. I'm just hoping to have some sort of algorithm to let me automate generating the damage track and dice boxes.

Beowa: Slaughterer's Axe, bear form should be hands: 1. Daggers should be hands: 1. the "Human Form" and "Bear Form" rules appear to be redundant with the note under attack dice. Also, he probably needs a second damage track for bear form.

Thanks for the update. For my purposes, I'm going to create the trait "Mighty/X: The Constitution track for Warriors with this trait do skip the first X dice marker boxes. Normally, a Constitution track will include a dice marker box at every even multiple of 10." This will let me automate...

Having done a bunch of math on the profiles, it appears that all of a warriors armor values stack: natural, armour, and shield. There are typos throughout the draft/living profiles, but that seems to be the general rule.

I'm in: Brythoniaid: Teyrn, Uchelwyr, Cawrdraig, Gwyfern. That's about 600 points, but is pretty much my core force.

jereme

Your statement is mostly correct. As a warrior takes damage, his constitution goes down, which makes him easier to wound (reduces his Combined Constitution for the Parry - see 8.2.5.1). Additionally, every yellow box on his damage track that is checked causes him to lose an attack die from one of hi...
