Between reading 11 year old Firetooth's post on Ginny Weasley, losing a mental duel to my msn, remembering TPD threaten to "kick somebody in the nuts until they bleed to death slowly" and reading over 30 pages of Thomas Kreisman's post, my mind has melted.

Don't do it. Your eyes will burn, your brain will implode, your soul will vanish, the universe will explode. Milk in your fridge will go stale. Your friends will turn on you. Ronald Reagen will break into your house at midnight with a chainsaw and dismember you. 3% of your troops will desert!

Right, good that's cleared up.

Cities literally make somebody 100% immune to kills. Perhaps this should be changed so take city is an assault like standard attack, but can only be used if they have cities? It would obviously have to be just as hard to succeed as the mission take city.

Making cities impossible to take causes other problems, like that one player who builds 100cities.

It's not a massive thing, but it might want to be looked into seeing as kills and standards are the only real damage dealers. (unless somebody doesn't market their food)

ok here it goes:

One fine bliss autumn day, a bear was strolling in the woods. The bear was called? lieutenant Turious Bear, founder of the Armarda. He was a grizzly bear who was immensely strong and wouldn?t let anyone stand In his way, for he was the son of Dihodrun the great.

Turious had lead many army?s into battles just like his father. In the corner of his eye he caught some movement.
It was Dame his loyal soldier, he was followed by the Armarda, a clan of 100 soldiers ready for war at any time.
They used double sided axes in combat, with half of them using Archery. He over-took Moss flower with just 100 of his soldiers. He destroyed the army of Cluny and took the town of disembargo.


In the icy regions of Meskaton

Firetooth the magnificent was rounding up his feline army for a feast. They had just taken Roharn by force with the? biggest army there was in the region of Meskaton. Firetooth was a fierce lion-sized tom cat. He only used his claws and teeth in mortal combat. His army of 1000 felines were under full command of Firetooth and never dared defy him. They were about to start the feast when a band of polar bears arrived lead by Sir knowland Snowfleck, they were hiking to Mossflower . All 700 of Snowfleck?s army were equipped with Swords and shields and heavy armour. They were tough and fought to the bitter end, by now they had a very strong reputation for winning any battle they participate in.

Firetooth arose with shock and assembled his army into 4 lines and went for the attack, Snowfleck was aware of his attackers and got ready for a fight. Whilst the main army attacked Firetooth and his elite felines sneaked round behind the intruders. Snowfleck?s army was twice as strong as that of Firetooth but that didn?t change a thing. They fought back just as hard and as fierce as ever.
When Firetooth reached the back the few behind didn?t stand a chance as they were piled by 20 felines at a time. One swung his huge sword knocking a tiny Bengal cat to it?s death. At the front of the Battle Snowfleck and his army were dominating but the felines didn?t stop, they wouldn?t stop. Just then Firetooth caught a glance of Snowfleck in the distance, he was huge, the biggest creature he has ever seen. He didn?t go near him for he would not come back if he did.

Over in Mossflower Lieutenant Turious bear roared out to his army ? Quick come, mice! ?. They all rushed over to see the huge mass of mice feasting on cheese, scones and buttered tarts with cream. They were the clan of Eire, lead by Kell, a very wise, careful rat? who didn?t like violence. But when violence was necessary he would strike. It was he who aided Turious?s father many years ago before he died. They had known each other for a long time but never seen each other for over 10 years. Turious jumped out and surprised his old friend Kell, he responded quickly with a below and jumped out of his seat. ? O? Turious, you scoundrel, where?s the clan then youngster??.?

? Now don?t be getting to hasty there, I haven?t seen you in years, how?s the Eire then??.? ? Hah, ya haven?t changed a bit have you, the Eire?s fine and full of cash and mercenaries , but right now come and feast with me and my men?.

On the Southland?s a group of 3 staggered down a sand bank, gasping for air. They were Yuri, sun and whilma, Yuri a otter, Sun a hawk and? Whilma a skiff. They were no-mads, Roaming the lands, hunting evil warlords and? endless diplomacy?s with many clans. Yuri was the son of Garth the dominant otter of the clan deception. But they weren?t hunting any warlords, they were recruiting far and wide for an army to wipe out the army of Firetooth the magnificent.

Mean time in the region of Meskaton Firetooth was loosing, He cried out to his archers ? Fire ? and a rain of arrows went over his head, killing atleast 20 polar bears. By now Firetooth had fled behind his archer and rows of fierce tom?s, tabbys and bengles. Firetooth cried out again to his archer ? Fire ? and another rain of arrows flooded the battle field with devastating effects, this time killing well over 100 bears. Firetooth had seen enough, he yelled out orders to his guardian soldiers and fled from the battle field. He Returned to his beloved fortress Noonvale, it was hidden by vines and trees and only the army of felines knew about it.

Firetooth?s general merrick razorfang was on the battle, he was crying to his troops ? Fall back to Noonvale ?. Shortly after his cry all his and Firetooth?s army returned to Noonvale un-followed. Merrick razorfang strode into Firetooth?s chamber and sat down on a wooden stool. ? So how did it go?? asked Firetooth abruptly. Merrick answered sternly ? we had to retreat sire, they were to strong but we knocked down the army by half, but we lost atleast half of our army as well?. Firetooth cursed as he strode up and down his chamber, ?get me 20 scouts and meet me out by the courtyard, NOW!? Merrick razorfang stood majestically and walk out of the chamber.



Yuri and his clan of deception were looking for food and water, they were nearing a forest full of noise and scent. ?Mice? cried Yuri, and without a second thought he ran into the brambles shortly followed by sun and whilma.

Lieutenant Turious bear was aware of the intruders and bellowed to his Armarda to advance to the intruders. When Yuri got threw the brambles he realised what a mistake he made, he couldn?t run from a huge pack of bears or fight. Turious was the first to reach Yuri and pinned him to the floor, just then sun and whilma burst through the brambles and got pinned dame and Thornclaw his two deputy?s. Turious called Kell over and bellowed to the intruders ? What?s your purpose of being here!?. Yuri replied ? I am Yuri, son of Garth and leader of the clan deception?.

Kell stepped in calmly and replied ? welcome to Mossflower, you may stay with us. What is your business so far away from your homeland? ?.

Firetooth was inspecting his 20 fine Persian scouts, each one equipped with nothing but a dagger and water and food supplies. He spoke clearly to his scouts ? Find out were Snowfleck is heading and come and tell me as soon as possible, I?m counting on you men ?. With that all of his scouts were gone in a matter of seconds, spreading into the trees and over the walls.


A day later 3 of the scouts returned, Drizzle, Lumina and Dustchaps. Lumina was the first to report ? There heading to Mossflower sire, to ally with the great lieutenant Turious bear, then returning to finish us off. Without hesitation Firetooth replied ? Well done, extra food rations for you tonight, were are the other??.

Drizzle stepped in and meowed softly ? They were killed by Snowfleck himself sire, there?s only us left?. By now Firetooth with thinking up a strategy to defeat Snowfleck.
? Well I need you to go far and wide and find me new troops, any race. We need them in 2 weeks so be swift and don?t let me down, Merrick!! Round up another 20 scouts, we will need them?, ? Right away sire?. With that he rushed off again to find a further 20 scouts.

They met in the courtyard again with 23 scouts lined up, Firetooth shrieked out to his men ? Look far and wide for any race of mercenary, I?m expecting many from each of you scouts so be aware. You will be split into 3 groups, Lumina leading the first group, Drizzle leading the next and Dustchaps leading the last, each brings enough supplies to support an army of 1000. Got it??. They didn?t move so fast this time as they had more to carry , they were accompanied with 50 guardians of the emperor each.

At this point there was no emperor, the old emperor was lieutenant Turious?s father. But as Firetooth killed the last emperor he got the guards but not the emperorship as he himself didn?t kill Dihodrun, but he was killed by his archers in a battle long ago.?

Back in Mossflower Yuri and his clan were settling in and enjoying the feast with Kell, Turious and the there soldiers. They were tucking into the jam and raspberry cake with hot cream, with wine and fresh water for the youngsters.
Yuri explained what his quest was to Kell and Turious and they agreed to help him. After the feast they all settled down into the huts and camps around the area as it was getting dark. Turious and his men were in the north camp, Kell in the south camp with Yuri, whilma and Sun and the rest of Kell?s men in the west and east camps.


Way back in Noonvale Firetooth had ordered Merrick to pick out 10 of his best troops and evenly share out the troops between them. They were to train them until the day of the hike to Mossflower to kill lieutenant Turious bear and Snowfleck. They would start the voyage when his scouts returned from the far out lands of Meskaton and Harrington down in the south.

Dustchaps colony of soldiers, scouts and supplies, were herding threw the outskirts of Noonvale and a band of masked stoats jumped them, the soldiers and guardians were
soon to react and went into the fight. The Masked stoats were under the control of Orcist, king of the northern lights and bandit of the south. He was known for attacking people all along the south of Noonvale and stealing mercenaries and supplies, he was a real leader as he had never lost a raid in his life, due to his highly trained band of stoats. His army  consisted of 20 stoats lead by Orcist and assistant?s guppy and Wolfbite. Wolfbite was in charge of cash flow and supplies, with guppy in charge of the up-keep of the army. Dustchaps small army were winning, as he had the emperor?s guardians. Orcist yelled ? Retreat, fall back!?. The stoats kicked up dirt from the road and fled to the shelter of the trees. They were not pursued as Dustchaps wasn?t there for a fight, but he had found potential recruitments. There was a small group of rats, only 3 but they looked vicious enough to beat a group of 10 rats. They were nearly as tall as Dustchaps, him being a wolf. They stood strong in front of the wagons, one of Dustchaps scouts was first to approach them with caution, explaining to them what was happening. They agreed to join but only on the terms that they were paid and fed.

In drizzle?s colony he had already recruited atleast 50 wolfs from the outskirts. They were the survivors from Firetooth?s attack on Roharn in Meskaton. They agreed to join because they wanted to be part of a huge army, and the fact they had no other choice.
Firetooth was in his chambers when Merrick razorfang interrupted him, ? Sire, a fight has broke out in the south, a band of cats are attacking Roharn, OUR DEFENCES ARE LOW!. We can?t just let them die out there!!?.
Firetooth replied sternly ? Get 500 of my men and march them to Roharn, but try not to loose troops, were building and army, not loosing it?.

No sooner did he say this a snow white feminine cat walked into Firetooth?s chamber, she said in a calm voice ? Sire, they?ve broken into Roharn, there too strong. Send help soon or I fear the worst. Firetooth answered ? Very well, send the remaining troops, I?m going in with them.

Firetooth led his feline army into battle, the other army of cats was much smaller, maybe 300 felines. They were lead by Marrek, Firetooth?s brother. They had not met up in over 7 years and were not to fond of each other, Firetooth was the bigger and more powerful of the two, but Marrek was twice as evil. Merrick razorfang swung his blade knocking 3 rather large tabbys to the death, he was nearly as big as his leader, Firetooth but not quite. In the middle of the battle field Firetooth and Marrek met, his brother was small and brown. They greeted each other as though there was not war going on around them, Firetooth was the first to speak ? My I haven?t seen you in years, your army is outnumbered just give up. ? We wish to ally with you, Snowfleck the scheming menace is creating an army to destroy me. Marrek replied with just as much fear ? I am being stalked, I have lost over half my army !, the shadow slayers are after me, I need help Firetooth, please?.

The shadow slayers were assassins stalking whoever wronged them. The wielded a poisoned short swords and many bottles of poison and toxic all made from deadly plants and snakes venom. They were after Marrek for killing of half there population for treachery and back stabbing. They were not pleasant when they were angry and wouldn?t give up. The only remaining shadow slayers left were, Nano, Nachak two twins Nano a girl and Nachak a boy. Spar the fox, Skinner the wildcat and Diablo the squirrel. They were lead by Diablo, a handsome young fellow but as deadly as deadly nightshade. He used to be a normal squirrel but his family were murdered by a warlord called Marrek. He had nobody to stay with so he spread far and wide recruiting assassins for his clan, he was now out to get revenge.

Just watched starship troopers 3.

It was pretty funny, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it to everybody here...it's a bit "mature" if cheap gore and nudity constitutes such. :P Not knocking on the film, I found it amusing.

I think of this:



I <3 that crowbar nearly as much as companion cube

Edit: First problem was just me misreading something, but I also had a problem where I had 2k free land but could only build 500 acres in both my main two structure types.

It's been discussed before, but I think seeing as the topic was brought up in the suicide thread it might be a good time to continue it.

It's a good resource, and a lot of work has clearly been put into it, howevere there are a few issues with it:

• It doesn't give much useful information for playing competitively. The information contained is good for a beginner, but there should also be a more advanced section with some basic strategies for each race...races like Wildcat and Stoat can only really be played a certain way, and this should be made clear to newer players. Some complex things like leaders are obviously never going to be easily explained, but the current guide has made a good attempt, I think people just need more information on how they can actually use leaders for production, offense and defense. Maybe include some more basic equations, like the current one on figuring how to get a 175 ratio under "learning leaders."
  
  I know some people here, including me, have wrote up some basic race descriptions. These could also go in.
  
  Info in the below thread could be a good starting point:
  
  http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=12996.0
  
  At the least, if the game guide is to be exclusively the basics, there should be a link to a topic like that with a outline on how strategies work and which races (typically) use which strategies. I get that it's for the basics, but sections like the below seem a tad counter-productive in teaching players how to play well long-term.
  
  

  As you spend turns, you will notice that you gain or lose money and food each turn. If you run out of food or money, your troops will begin to desert. You will need to watch out for this!!
  
  If you see that you are running out of food or money, you will have 3 options:
  
  1. Build more markets or foragers.
  
  2. Sell some of your army. This is not a bad thing, because you will get it back eventually. You can sell your army by going to the "Mercenaries" button and clicking on "sell goods". From there just type in the number of items you want to sell.
  
  3. You can also take out a lone from "Cluny's Hut." This is generally not recommended, but you can use it as a last resort.
  
  There are also other ways you can spend your turns that in increase your cash and food. You can *Loot and *Forage.
  
  * Loot: This will give you a lot more money, if you have markets.
  
  * Forage: This will give you a lot more food, if you have foragers.
  
  

  
  There is a brief section on strategies, however it is not indepth enough and could use some work.
  
  

  Info from Sevz
  
  Knowing the game is important. Strategy earns rewards.
  
  RUNNING TURNS No matter what race you are/teamed or not, the objectives are always similar. Growth against your non allies. Best method of producing is Land+Networth. Get land from the best source to start with, continue from the rest in an effective order. Gain as much land as practical.
  
  INDY is an empire who generates troops per turn. (Race choice- Rat) Build Barracks to make troops, when you have a bunch and there's not many people left to attack, demolish about a quarter and build camps to sell for a good price on the mercenaries. This will pay for re-generating more when you switch back to all barracks.
  
  LEADERS is a player who builds Huts and uses Leaders for all methods. The aim is to have a pile of cash food and loyalty (resources). Gather land at the start of your turns, sell troops and build Huts. Earn loyalty until you have a strong ratio and cast Loot/Feast in Generals Hut. By the time you have 0 turns you would ideally have a good amount of land with extra resources
  
  FOOD MASSER The most dominant way of massing food initially is wolf or marten using leader. Best done with medium land, no troops and around 170 ratio. Generals Hut Feast up to 99mil networth. Go to Market, Store maximum food for 25. when you reach a point that it's not worth storing food, stick under 100mil networth, send off the un storable food to a friend and loot 120bil. From here, focus a few runs on massing loyalty and destroying other peoples supplies. Once comfortable, make heaps more food and defend land.
  

  
  It's a good start, but is outdated (no magpies+ferrets) and as I said needs to be more specific. It also doesn't feature the wildcat and stoat races.
  


• It's hard to access. Ingame, I can't see a single link to it. This is quite a minor issue, but an ingame link would be cool.


• Some information is outdated. The clan section still contains information on passwords, and I don't see anything on custom titles or member caps. Also, there are some other incorrect things such as the aid regardless of your clan members net (I think there is a limit, if I am thinking straight, of like 5* your net?) On this line, some pages (generals hut, a key one) don't even currently exist.

I think the guide is a great resource with some great info, especially for beginners, however I think some more information and detail would help to encourage newer players to start playing more effectively. Also, I know several people here have expressed interest adding to it. Perhaps it could be done in a format similar to a wikia, where members can edit it freely but it is enforced? Just throwing an idea out, idk if that would work.

Does anybody have anything else to add?

Edit: Expanded a bit on the first point.

A note:

"Golden age" is a term referring to an older era of RWL. "Platinum age" is the current era, however the only person I've seen use the term is Purpy D haha.

Anyway, into the topic. There was a large debate over this way back in the begining of the turbo round in the "dispensation of justice" thread. Most of the oldbies seemed convinced RWL needed to return to the old days, but after last round I would like to contest that point as the round was definetly one of the worst I've played for a long time. I don't have the time atm to write a massive long post, so I'll leave you to discuss, and summarize my points in a list:

• The supposed return of diplomacy didn't work because it became an overpowering force and meant you couldn't enjoy the game as you were too focus on all the background stuff...for 2 days I couldn't run because I didn't trust anybody to hold my net
• On that note, the spies everywhere also kind of ruined the round as you didn't know who to trust or who to accept into your clan
• The "RWL IS NOT HAPPY PONY RAISING FOOLS!" attitude also stunk. A bunch of kills held back everybodies net and just meant that the clans with the most manpowers prevailed opposed to those with the most skill
• Even though I actually support the return of rp posts, nobody else bothered except TS (one of the few things I will congratulate him on) so it didn't work and everybody was still as bitter towards everyone else as before

Personally I thought this round was a stinker due to annoying diplomacy, constant kills and other such issues (such as me being onlined and losing all my money haha) but still, here are the awards and my choices:

Best player: Holby most probably, was smart and produced a bunch
Worst player: TS, end of
Best leaderer: Eh, probably Holby
Worst leaderer: dunno
Best indier: Probs TPD, grats to him for some good work
Worst indier: TS?
Best newcomer: I'm not sure, Pac-man maybe?
Most annoying: Being onlined and losing 200bil or so cash >:( Or, you know, producing about 600bil over the round but losing it all due to a kill, repeated sacks and steals. At least the methods were kind of varied.
Best clan:  None were spectacular, KM didn't produce much considering their line up...GLaDOS is probably my pick due to the net we produced, but I'm obviously biased in this category ;)
Worst clan: Sorry, probably Marlfox. Unless REG were intended as a serious clan, in which case it's easily them.
Biggest surprise: The round sucking?
Biggest disappointment: Lack of trust and lack of skill, oh and the constant kills and THE ROUND SUCKING  :(
Biggest talker: I dunno, probably Neo, but in a good way.
Best hair doo: Me

Looking over the reports, Firetooth let out a brief chuckle.  He was being ganged up on by warlords who had onlu yesterday been enemies. Still, he realized now all this meant was that any truce with KM was off.

I think it would be a good feature to implement, and not just because I am currently being targeted using sacks, the idea isn't even mine, Sharp mentioned it to me in a conversation.

Let's see if a certain evil totalitarian dictator censors my right to free speech and edits this. :P

Firetooth strode amongst the ruined city, acompanied by half a score of stoats. As fleeing vermin crossed their path, the stragglers were cut down.

Soon, he had reached the centre of the burning city. Here he saw a familar face-Purple Dragon, his most trusted general. Smeared with blood, both his own and that of the many victims lying at his feet, he nodded to Firetooth.

"Another success. Though I can't help but think this was a waste of time. These pathetic empires are not worth our time."

Firetooth nodded "they are ants compared to giants, but we still need to maintain order. They continue to provoke us despite our warnings. We must set an example." He looked around the scene, shaking his head in disgust. "Mokkan escaped and is sending threatening letters throughout our cities, and I just hope Northen Hordes will not do the same. I'm assuming you didn't find them?"

Purple Dragon shook his head. "I am afraid not, Firetooth. Probably bolted straight away."

Pondering this information, Firetooth replied. "Indeed. Stil, this is a victory. Now we have sent a message to this rabble of nations, these regulators, that we are not to be toyed with. Farewell."

And with that Firetooth turned and strode away.

OOC: Killed for destroying 100mil of our net unprovoked. Pretty simple.. I would have destroyed his net, but seeing as they had none, kills were the only viable option.

Firetooth gazed at the scene that met his eyes as he walked amongst the ruins of a once sprawling city. Thousands of dead vermin littered the floor, and several rats and weasels were picking up the dead bodies and haphazardly throwing them onto a fire.  The stench filled the Wildcat's nostrils., and broken buildings met the wildcat' keen gaze.

A large rat walked over to him, easily standing out from the rest. He was dragging the corpse of another rat, his fur stained with blood and, what was presumably, his own blade sticking out of his abdomen. He threw the corpse face-first into the ground in front of Firetooth's paws, the lifeless body making a dull thud as it impacted with the hard stone of what had once been a city street.

"Blue eyes" Firetooth greeted one of his most trusted generals. "So Mokkan is dead. Good"

"Indeed" Blue eyes nodded. I did it myself. Art of War also helped organize this. Our armies slaughtered his, he was completely unprepared. We suffered minimal losses."

Firetooth was thoughtful as he gazed over the body. "That isn't Mokkan" he said, shaking his head. "One of his lookalikes. Coward fled the scene at the hint of fighting, most likely. Still, he has no empire now. We won't be hearing from him for a long time. " He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, then opened them again. "An acceptable outcome. You and art of war are to be commended for your excellent assault. Mokkan is an example of what will happen to those that threaten our clan. He took part in the first assault on me, but he was not worth my time." He pulled a tattered note out of his garment. "However, he crossed the line when he threatened us. Send patrols into the wood, but it's likely the real Mokkan is gone."

Firetooth let the tattered note fall from his grasp as he spun his cloak around and strode off. "Good riddance."

A week later

Samstead went from corpse to corpse, looking for anything valuable that hadn't been looted. He grimaced as he reached a bloodied rat, impaled with a sword, but saw a scrap of paper by his side. Intrigued, he picked it up. He read the crude message.

I am for hire to kill members of the opposite clan. The highest bidder wins you have until May 16th so respond and accept otherwise be prepared to die

Caring not for it, he tossed it aside as he went to continue his search.

OOC: Twilight Shadow was killed as he had nothing of value and for:

• His role in my death
• Trying to play games with the clans

Relevant messages for any who care:

TS, please stay out of this fight with BA.

I will not resort to kills, but I will destroy your net if you get involved again.
