You order a quick encircling tactic!

4*

The tactic pays off. The rush of the thick and brutish lizards is quickly met with flanking from both sides. Your soldiers and archers suffer many losses but the amount of the lizardmen goes down steadily as well.

Unlike many battles, the lizardmen don't seem to be inclined to run away as their situation goes worse!

4*

Finally however, the lizardmen are all dead. Their scaled, muscular corpses make your soldiers go silent with awe. Only now you notice that all they had were stones on sticks, leather on wooden frames and such primitive equipment. Truly, it's their monstrous strength and agility what makes them such hard foes, rather than equipment or numbers!

Your officers convene with you as another encampment is spotted; of the same number, at the base of the mountains.

A) Clearly we should march forward and just crush another horde of the stinky lizards!
B) We should ask nearby settlements to provide some numbers and supplies.
C) Let's make a fortified camp and prepare for inevitable moment the lizards move out from under the mountain.

That wasn't it? I guess that makes sense; 200 lizardmen is hardly a plague.

Well, the locals will surely be glad to hear about our victory over some of the lizardmen, and thus willing to provide us with supplies and whatnot. Can't hurt to be extra prepared.

Seems like there might be an unknown number of camps lurking in the mountains.

You know, I wonder if we could get some elite lizardman units for our army.

[Prophet]

B Getting some Lizard people of our own would be cool yeah.

[Harry Baldman]

I like B, it seems a reasonable way to get the feel of things in the area.

[I_Like_Pi]

Best idea.

Numbers. Factor in context--200 versus our ARMY (medieval armies consisted of far more than that ), and we just got +1 in numerical superiority until we got a good shot in; they have a base -1 due to armor as it seems, and tactics in the martial way seem best to win against them. We HAVE to use this instead of a one-on-one fight as we will obviously die versus them.


Because we're a Duke and not a King, and this is a lot better than heavy responsibilities as we can flail around with a bit more leeway!

...Hold on, this wasn't the 200 lizards?

[Haspen]

You move your Army few hours west from the mountains as the scouts move even further there to ask nearby villages and garrisons for volunteers and supplies.

Alas! Few peopel are willing or able to provide you with anything; a handful of men with some food arrive.

The scouts report that the activity in that other camp of lizardmen hardly changed. Along with your officers you decide to...

A) March forward and just crush another horde of the stinky lizards!
B) Make a fortified camp and prepare for inevitable moment the lizards move out from under the mountain.

If it works for the dwarves, it will work for us. Raid the camp!

We're humans. Our forte is in our thinking skills.
And...it didn't work for us when we worked against the dwarves.

I'm just remembering how in spamkingdom 2, we recently won a battle and then we were given the option to mop up some stragglers. We didn't cause we thought it was part of some clever ruse, but it turned out that it wasn't and we ended up regretting it.

I don't want to make that same mistake again.

[NUKE9.13]

I think, given the choice, I would rather face 200 at a time than 2000 all at once, even with a fortified camp. Raiding their camps one by one seems like a great way to thin out their numbers, perhaps even drive them off without facing them in open battle.

A

[Harry Baldman]

A, considering that 200 of the alligatorfolk are an even match for like 3000 of our soldiers I'd definitely urge us to get moving and wipe out as many as possible before they wise up

Yes that was my thought

Until I noticed that this was 'ONE' camp rather than ALL OF THEM. :I

Shifted to A.
