Unless some kind of diplomacy comes into play, Summerdale is probably not long for this world. I'm playing it out until the end, though, interested in seeing what might happen. We might make an awesome comeback somehow! 

EDIT: Accidentally a word.

Haha
Where was Libero?
Can they only hide behind the skirts of Mama Morek?

[Kansa]

My character got captured

[Megaman]

What other continents are ya'll playing on? I'd like to see if anyone else is like me and avoiding Dwilight.

[Ehndras]

Come to Hammetsett in Atamara, we have need of loyal berserkers to combat the enemies of Odin!

I see no reason to avoid Dwilight. Hardcore RP is, after all, the best of the best.

[Zangi]

And you don't exactly have to RP...  at least I don't.  When I speak though, I do so while avoiding sounding gamey.

It'd probably be harder to avoid not RPing if/when I decide to take a more active part in upper gov't....  not that I mind.  I'm just lazy.

The wiki is terrible.

A lot of the information either doesn't apply to the island you happen to be on (Dwilight), or is tremendously out of date. Because the codebase and rulesets are different between islands, and because the wiki doesn't clearly demarcate each topic by a specific island, the whole thing ends up being a giant mess that serves to obfuscate rather than clarify.

Andira has been working on a comprehensive guide for new players, but it might be awhile before it's ready. It'll be specific to Dwilight, I believe.

Summerdale getting crushed is pretty good atmosphere, I have to agree! A trial by fire is an effective way to learn some valuable lessons ...

The wiki is terrible.

We know.    We're just really terrible at doing anything about it. (Especially the dev team.)

Any assistance that can be rendered in that regard is more than welcome. Asking questions on the BM forum should yield good, current answers to most questions you have, which can then be transcribed to appropriate pages on the Wiki.

[Rakonas]

The wiki would probably be a lot better if it was just marked what update the info was last confirmed valid for, as in the DF wiki.

Unfortunately, BattleMaster doesn't really operate on a major/minor release basis; updates are applied pretty much continuously, as the dev team finishes coding and testing them.

I'm enjoying this game at the moment. Summerdale is getting slightly roflstomped at the moment, but it just adds to the atmosphere!

Yeah, after we curiously sacrificed over half our army at Torrent's Breath, we've transitioned more or less into "fish in a barrel" mode as Morek has moved in to mop up survivors.  Kinda like when a Goblin Siege breaks through the walls of your Dwarf Fortress and you get to see how long your civvies can hold out.  I broke from the main body to dodge the obvious trap at Odenir, and I'm trying to take the long way to the Capital via Valldir, but they sent two units after me which I've already evaded once.

This just proves once again...

Losing is !!FUN!!

On the plus point you'll probably get honour+prestige each battle.

[Ehndras]

Indeed!


...Not that he'll be able to use it.

If you're lucky you'll find a stop where you can recruit troops.

[Ehndras]

On THAT note, I suggest you blow ALL your gold if you think you're dying/being captured soon, since otherwise your enemies will just loot you.
