Re: 2000 gold list

I'd say drop the units down to 4's to help free up some extra gold then I'd consider either a monster such as the vasilisk or maybe a third combat unit with character, Hydrar may be a good choice to offer a bit more variety of units. I would maybe consider a 3 man unit of gorgorar with bows to baby ...

Is that not pretty much what the Gorgon's special rule does?


His rule is slightly different in that his rule allows you to muster units as if they were from their own realm but count as gorgon realm so don't need to be allies.

Re: Dyndraig ubiquity question

I am unsure if it is in the rulebook but if a character says it changes the ubiquity from X to Y then the ubiquity is Y as written. With your example if you were using a Gwynedd host a prifdyndraig commander changes the Dyndraig from uncommon to common. If he is the general he still makes them mains...

I have spoken to Rob about this before the Teryn's version of the rule overrides the uchelwr so teulu become mainstay. To fit a draiggoch on is actually quite simple as 530 gold fits the mainstay minimum with 2 10's of rhyfwelr and a 10 of teulu. About 250is gold on top for the three characters then...
