What Lies West

[Chenier]

Paisly

26600 CS of rogues
245 monsters for 23600 CS
165 undead for 3000 CS

Most rogue units are of 5 men or less.

Biggest monster force is 35 men (3050 CS)

Biggest undead force is is 60 men (2 of them at 1050 CS, one of them is travelling towards Port Raviel?)



Looks manageable to me. An archer-heavy force, the armies of a few realms, and over a few days these could be wiped off. Anyone who has any scout reports of western regions, feel free to share.

49 monster units? Yowza!

49 monster units? Yowza!

Huh?

29 monster+undead units, minus the undead unit that just crashed into Port Raviel, and another that moved out to Paisland.

So they do travel along sea routes?

[Lorgan]

This is just one region. I wonder what rogue's overall military stats are.

So they do travel along sea routes?

Haven't you seen the constant huge battle reports from Mimer?

Oops

Somewhat. Not sure what mechanics hold most of them back... maybe it's just monsters that stay back, and not undead? Maybe the game treats invasion-spawned and naturally-spawned differently? Don't know. A few rogues do cross, but just a small part.

You're overthinking this

A few rogues do cross, but just a small part.

That's all there is to it. A small, random amount are allowed to leave the monster-infested lands.

[Indirik]

You said were 249 monsters, most in groups of 5 or less. So, on average, ~50 units.

On average, yes, if there aren't any significantly larger units. Which there are.

13 out of 29 units have 5 men or less. A bit less than half, looked like a bit more than half when I first looked at it.

I'd gamble that the units spawn as bigger units, but starve over time.

Luria Nova could clear Paisly on their own, if they wanted to. I'm convinced that if the other regions are like this, reclaiming the coastal cities and townslands would be achievable.

[Indirik]

Oh, sure, post inaccurate information, and blame me for poor conclusions.

Holding them is the real challenge. Every day there's a battle, the fortifications cannot be repaired, so they decay over time. Sorties are required to provide some breathing room, but they leave the occupants with even more casualties than when they try to hold the walls.

Our best hope, I think, is for a region with short supply lines (Candiels) or with a donut region around it with intact fortifications (and no horde of monsters of itself).

[Indirik]

Can you find a region with forts still intact? i would have thought they'd all be home by now.
