Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

The problem with the chaff strat is that you need to spend many times the resources required for the vans in order to get even a scratch, Dedas. Run the goddamn numbers through a test game like Graeme Dice and Huzurdadi said and see for yourself. TRY IT OUT with the bloody chaff instead of just pontificating from your chair.

Huzurdadi gave us the results with C'tis troops and the numbers don't lie. What's your excuse for not running a battery of tests?

Edi

My excuse is that I'm very new to this game and trying to help the best way I can, and that is by speculating alot and coming up with fresh ideas. Of course, most of the things I think of (with my lack of experience) you can naturally dismiss (as they will not work), but maybe one or two may have something, just a tiny drop of something, that actually can... work.
Or just ignore me if you want to.

I understand now that chaff is just a waste of resources and gold on the Vans. But can't you (with magic) raise their encumberance in some way?

[Edi]

Yes, you can, but that kind of magic needs research, which requires time, which means that if you have a problem NOW, you won't be around anymore after the 6 or 7 turns required to get your research that far.

The whole point of this is that if and when you run up against hard numbers the likes of which Huzurdadi brought into the discussion and others have already raised many of the points you have been saying, you will eventually get yelled at. Because the numbers generally don't lie and they tend to need answer in kind, i.e. actual test results.
