Heavy casualties my ass. What's that wall for?

Alright, let's get this show on the road.

Toads 1-5: RG, 4 energy; also they will be defensive units. (163 c)

Buying knives for Toads 8-10 (118 c) and bucklers for Toads 6 and 7 (68 c). They'll be offensive units.

dux_is_me · 05-01-2007, 03:40 PM

Toads 1-5 can't be defensive units, because they don't have energy.

**Prince Toad** · 05-01-2007, 05:36 PM

Then they'll stand around with their thumbs up their asses. I don't know. They'll try and avoid getting killed, how's that?

Tazy_10 · 05-01-2007, 06:15 PM

Koopa 1 Spends all his energy into Resource Gathering

Buy 2 Short Bows and Equip them to the 2 Koopas

The Remaining Koopa.....stands and avoids attack.

All the Koopas with Weapons on Offensive

Bows in the back, and 1 Line of SpearKoops, and in front of them is Kuribo Koopa.

Tazy: Are you sure this will work?

Commander: I haven't died yet....

Chapter II: The Ghost House

Day 13

Now that the first wave of attacks has passed, the Mushroom King has revealed that an old castle of the Kingdom has been claimed by ghosts, and the King wants it back. The first army that captures the castle back will have a great reward. (You may attempt to destroy the ghosts anytime, but it is suggested you send explorers into the castle and research ghostbusting tech first. These options will appear as days pass.)

BSkullDragoshi (Koopas)
0c
Buildings: Library, Pipe system, House x1
Tech: Forging, Masonry, Plumbing
Items: Yoshi egg x1 (0E), Long sword x1, Moneybag x7
Units (8): Koopa[Long sword/Moneybag/Ostro] x1, Koopa[Moneybag] x6, Ostro x1
Your village is attacked by a group of two dark lizardlike creatures and two dark Toad-like creatures.
After combat: Through tactical use of the Pipe system, your units were able to make it through combat with minimal damage and no casualties.

After combat: Your Toads let the piranhas take the first hit, against the wall... and then they counterattack, eliminating every last of them. The wall is severely damaged, but the village is safe. (Repairing the wall is just flavor; it doesn't cost coins nor energy. It is done automatically.)

After combat: Your Koopas' hard shells are enough to keep them from destruction. The Dark Toads fall to the guards' spears and arrows.
Notes: You didn't have enough coins to pay for everyone's upkeep, and thus lose a Koopa.

~~The spell Aid Another has been made slightly less powerful. Sorry. I'm still deciding, so don't mind this notice. In the end, I just made Coin Shower better instead of making Aid Another worse.~~ Coin Shower stays as it was, and Aid Another becomes worse. This is final. Expect some new spells as compensation.
