I was ambushing a castle with my solo martial artist (whose abilities resemble a fist of the north star character). After quickly sneaking inside the gate unseen, I ducked into the nearest entrance to the castle walls. I then started to assassinate every soldier standing guard on tower tops, hoping to eliminate every threat of an arrow to the back of the head before proceeding to the keep. I was doing well, moving in a clockwise direction, usually letting the adjacent tower see me so that I could lure them to me and snuff them out inside the castle wall, giving archers minimal time to pin me. After time, and some dire moments, I started to get deja-vu. Didn't I already pass this corner of the castle? ...I dismissed the thought since I hadn't caught up with my previous handiwork yet. Until I reached the bottom left corner where I had a very memorable fight where I got an arrow to the gut but managed to survive and recover from some serious vomiting. Nothing was there from my previous encounter, and fresh soldiers had replaced my victims. I stopped and realised I had almost gone around the entire castle twice!
I imagine the problem was because the castle was located over several sectors (what do you call them?), so moving from one end of the castle to the other caused the other half of the castle to refresh.
This makes me wonder: Do the castles have actual hidden populations? If I keep going around (I had gone crazy by that point), will they eventually run out of men? Does this require testing by morbid adventurers? XD
And, if they are infinite, it probably won't be that way forever, so it's now or never to start a high score table for 'most kills in a single castle by a solo adventurer'
