And Greenstone Armor, definitively the phattest lewt.

Eh, I've gotten Greenstone armor before and thought it sucked - decent protection, but very high fatigue. There something the stats and description didn't say about it?

I am wondering the same thing. The stats look mediocre, unless there is something that's not in the stat description.

AFAIK, independents don't ever eat so the single-scout siege can never take the castle.

Really? I didn't know that...

Still, you get several benefits of the province (gold and free passage) just by camping your cheapest commander there. And if you know there's a fat Bogus group in there, you can even keep him warm until you're ready to tackle them and get the loot.

Id like to scatter castles on large maps as part of my chaos games (where I also randomly scatter sites, armies, equipment) but a castle in the game that way falls to the single-scout thing because everyone automatically defends. Ive asked for a map command of #patrol to fix that.

Bogus attacked a big army of mine and got trashed. It was early in the game, so now I have an Oni King with Precious, Greenstone Armor, the wraithblade, and bracers of protection, plus he's got the fear/howl ability, and so his fear is currently +14. Pretty nice of Bogus to sacrifice himself for the good of my nation

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Speak of the devil!

So right at this very moment I am playing as Machaka and I am pit against those new Oni guys. I've got a huge army of tribal warrior guys (the ones that throw javs and have a spear and a big shield), some archers, and a nice group of spider riding doods along with my priestesses and commanders. I'm heading right towards their castle where there will surely be a bloody battle and what do you know? BOGUS! He stole my glory!

Oh, well at least now their countryside is mine to plunder!

UPDATE: &*/$%@#!!!!!

Does anyone know if, once Bogus is killed, if he comes back? As in: can you get the same special event more than the life of Bogus? And, are there more than one adventuring group around? If not, I hope somebody makes a mod addon that features several different ones.

I love heroic strength jotun scouts (i have one in a sp test game), stick boots quickness on there and you'll have a weapon with longer range than a bow, a hell of alot more damage and 2 shots per turn.

...And enough ammunition for 1 turn.

True, but I tend to use them as ballistae not machine gun. Fire two shots at start, then let the bloodlust overcome him. With natur 9 he is more then a match for anything in close combat.

I don't need boots of quickness, since Jotun Scouts are SACRED, and I got a Water9/Nature9 bless strategy in that game...

The water 9 blessing stacks (multiplicatively) with quickness from the spell, boots, or jade armour, so he would act even more with both of them.

Remind me please Graeme - what are the exact rules of this multiplication? Is it 50% chance of 2 attacks per turn and 50% chance of 3 attacks, same for both melee and missile attacks?

I don't know. Giants already have very high strength, but their scouts lack decent armor. Personaly I would take heroic defense or heroic toughness over heroic strength on my scout any time. That would help him survive battles much more than 39 strength. Unless you are trying to make SC killer out of him.
