Default Re: intermediate results

Not only does she have trample, she has a +4 trample, the bonus earned through experience, not an artifact or other artificial means. She must have a level 9 artifact that negates my size advantage, so the many times I tried that plan have proven it to be a sure loser. Also the arrow defense is not real practical either, the slightest pinprick triggers a berserk and a demon transformation.

I do like the antique arguement, so consider that idea stolen.

I normally rely on agility, wits, selective deafness, fault memory claims, delaying tatics and toughness as my primary defense.

Unfortunately, last night I was caught behind castle walls. When I got home from work I mowed the lawn, and because it was hot and humid I decided that I needed to replenish my body fluids. Then I thought to build up a reserve of fluids in case I encountered a future situation that might involve sweating (always looking out for my health). When the assault came the walls were comprised of 8 or 9 empty Coor's cans. They did not prove to be as stout a defensive barrier as you might think.

There also seems to be some rule that was omitted in the manual that I am not allowed to retake provinces previously lost. It also appears that I am the only one that this rule applies to, probably a difficulty level handicap. (I should have gone for the easy level, not the impossible level.) The Dev's must have sent me a Beta manual, because there are all sorts of rules that arise that I never heard of previously.
