Way to bury the lead! Artifacts can break?

[Egan_BW]

I think that just means the +1 defense. Since it's a shield of EARTH, I imagine it doing some earthbending shit erupting basic fortifications out of the ground.

But, we have heard that artifacts can be destroyed. Just haven't found out how yet. And they can be shipped to the king of course. :p

[notquitethere]

Haha I meant the temporary earth wall effect. Yes I imagined it a bit like earth bending too. The effect is cast new each combat and the artefact doesn't break through normal use.

Anyone found Mount Doom yet?

[Kashyyk]

If you have a ship to lend me Quarque, I can send some units to fight that Dusk Dragon. Shall we split the loot 50/50? The Golden Net isn't particularly useful to me, so would you want to trade it for Ascupart's Bane?

I can spare you a Bog Cat and 6 Infantry.

10 Gold and the Golden Net is sent to Lord Bockhoven, and a Ship and my Bog Cat is received.
4 Gold is spent to buy 2 Stone, which are used to repair the Sundered Spire.

6 Armies and the Bog Cat sail by Ship (somehow) to attack F10 supported by the attack of Bockhoven
   (treasure division: they receive half the gold, rounded down; I get the territory + artifact, and other half of the Gold)
1 Infantry garrisons the Sundered Spire
1 Infantry garrisons Shandston's Folly
1 Infantry scouts J9->J8->J7
1 Infantry marches on Village K10
1 Infantry marches on Marsh I10
1 Infantry marches on Hill J15
2 Infantry and 1 Wolf marches on Hill I13

OK, no more edits, as I have the turn ready to go (sans Egan). Nice to have a relatively calm expansion turn in between panicking over mega-stacks. But worse threats are incoming...

[Criptfeind]

Starting to regret scouting 5 tile when you say stuff like that.

Questions about the Selkie court:

It has 31 defense, but what part of that defense score is added by moats?
Can moats be destroyed, like walls?
Do the moats have to be destroyed before the final defending unit can be killed (since it has a keep)?

6 points.

Moat: +6/6 defence

moats are effectively walls.
Yes

Keep: +3/+3 defence, your last defender cannot be killed during a siege until your defence is less than 3.

Note also, since seals will scarfiice themselves for The Selkie Queen the unit is the keep is guaranteed to be the hag. Good news: no -1 penalty, bad news you'll be cursed the entire time.

[Quarque]

Thank you. So I guess that the three moats count for a total of 18 points, but either way they act like regular points of wall.

Since I am going to need tons of wood for this fight, I would be interested in selling wolves for wood next turn (still thinking about the price, but we have some time left before the new turn starts).

[a1s]

I'm guessing we already know this, but I don't want to dig through the thread: Do friendly wolves remain friendly after they retreat?

[notquitethere]

I'm guessing we already know this, but I don't want to dig through the thread: Do friendly wolves remain friendly after they retreat?

Yeah, I clarified that in an earlier post. They retreat in the same way as your normal armies retreat (i.e. leave the fight, and not being present for any secondary battles in the same tile). You can use them again the following turn.

Questions about the Selkie court:

A1s's explanations were all correct.
