Default Re: "Got Blood?" -- BF Ulm AAR (Newbie)

More questions about playing Black Forest

Why buy Farstrikers? If I remember right\ it's a captain and 30 shortbowmen with, I believe ringmail cuirasses for around 130 gold. Shortbows aren't amazing, and Machaka has plenty of heavy armor to make them go crying for their respective mamas (who I'm sure are all saints ).

Do you pay upkeep for wolves? If so, how much?

If I read the roleplay part of the report right, you intend to make researchers in the mausoleum as well as your capital.

Also, from the roleplay part, it looks like you mean that Irma and Ulrich are sitting on their fat asses in Ulm, eating chocolate and the occasional child/virgin. Is it for some kind of master plan?

How did/will you deal with Machaka? If I were you, I would've kept the Farstrikers around to deal with Warriors, Militia, Spider Riders, and their own Archers. I would also employ masses of Rangers gunning for the closest enemy in case they have Knights or Hunters. For hoplites, I would also have a small diVersionary force of Infantry of Ulm to fend off Warriors and Militia until they route, if they're present along with hoplites. Once the hoplites are at the front, my rangers can cut them down with relatively close range fire. How will you fight Machaka archers after the Strikers have died or left, though? That I want to know.

Are you compromising your fighting forces by creating a research team?
