Yayz, people like mah name for the new ghouls. I advise corruption then capturing the town from the inside. Slaves stay intact,you get the town, and you get to go witness the birth of a horrible half-breed you brought into the world.

seconded for UR plan minus the child killing, better to indoctrinate them.

also we should consintrate on making more new monsters and have our cultists raise any more Amberarsh's, what did we teach them for?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

To be fair, we do need better assistants than effectively undead animals...

Posting to watch and say this is really good.

The links to the enxt post are a nice touch, made it very easy to read and catch up.

I vote against eating the children, recruiting on the other hand....

This. Children are the future of our cult, and should be treated accordingly. As an added bonus, we'll probably have an easier time converting adults if we have already converted their children/if they know their children won't be harmed. Add the possibility of an honor guard composed of children, and we have an effective deterrent to any handsome young heroes that make it far enough to attack us, except that we'll be a proper villain and break their minds while they spend twenty minutes struggling with their morals, rather than sitting around gloating.

This is epic.... lol.

Yeah, I am pretty much the greatest person (my horrible mental conditions aside). And I'm glad to hear that at least one person appreciates the navigation system!
Also, no need to be shy! Anyone can weigh in on these decisions. The more people weigh in, the quicker the decisions happen, the sooner I make a new update.

Anyway, people. Can we get a consensus.

I have UR's plan, a vote for that from Loud Whispers and JackOSpades (-child eating), anyone else in favour of that?
Other people, take a look at UR's plan: That is a well outlined plan. I like plans like that. If you have an alternate plan you wish to propose, try to propose them in that sort of clear, all-aspects-covered manner. If you only have one part of a plan to add, vote for whichever plan it works best with and say something like 'this, but also with [your idea]'

except that we'll be a proper villain and break their minds while they spend twenty minutes struggling with their morals, rather than sitting around gloating.

To a certain degree, demons are above petty villain tropes like that, yes. To another degree, they totally aren't. A quick death is a lot less evil than letting them think they have a chance. A fair fight won against a Hero would be a major boost to your power and status. So don't dismiss clichés out of hand: abiding by them may actually be better for you.

Krlnkir Yrlvnt and servants
1) Attack villages around Akitaki
2) Convert children in cultists and send to Barrsping
3) Enslave fit adults
4) Use old\sick\weak\killed as a source for new uberghouls and as a food for existing. But don't create more than 3 new uberghouls
5) Create more Amberärshs

The cult of the Tall Man
1) Worship us, but save remaining slaves
2) Gather resources

  Flames of Madness
Recruit, create Amberärshs, train. They are our armed hidden reserve

Naming
Merged ghoul thing: Baneghoul.
Axe: Barrsdoom


changes
1) Not that I like that convert kids thing, but it's called a compromise.
2) Too many uberghouls can be a bad thing IMO

[JackOSpades]

+1 all the way with that plan

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I vote UR's plan, but...

A. Send the cultists into Atataki as infiltrators.
B. Use the unfit as sacrifices. They are not needed, and if need be, you can create an army of spectres from them.
C. No child eating. I agree with Flying Dice.
D. Just enslave the surrounding villages. More slaves and sacrifices, the better.

I'm also against child-eating.

I wasn't necessarily suggesting that we avoid villain tropes, so much as that we avoid stupid villain tropes. The Evil Overlord's Handbook should be one of our main sources of metainspiration, given that we're smarter and more powerful than the average human villain. We can have plenty of room for chaos and evil without making dumb mistakes, and I think it would be preferable to have slightly lower levels of evil and chaos over many decades than a few years of greater evil and chaos with an abrupt and rather final end at the hands of some farm lad with a magic sword.

So in other words, we can't really take the Lawful Evil approach, so we should be careful to exterminate all nonconverted teens related or befriended to our victims and converts, especially if we convert, kidnap, or sacrifice any newlywed women/men or younger brothers/sisters. Of course, by making children sacred to us, we nicely sidestep the latter issue, and even make it easier to trip up would-be heroes or heroines intent on rescuing siblings. What could be more evil than letting someone be killed by their own sister or brother that they were risking their lives and souls to save?

C. No child eating. I agree with Flying Dice.
D. Just enslave the surrounding villages. More slaves and sacrifices, the better.

A. I think it can wait, worship\resources are more important
B. I doubt we can create spectres from everyone
C. Changed already
D. Do you mean enslave village as a whole? NOOO, they are hell to defend later, two fortresses are more then enough

[IamanElfCollaborator]

D. I mean turn them into slaves or sacrifices. All that manpower....wait...don't we need a little...snack?

A. Hence why children are better infiltrators: they are much less suspicious, and aren't as good at physical labor.
B. We need slaves and followers more than we need more spectres.
D. I think the idea is that we convert everyone we can, and use them to take as many resources as possible back to our stronghold, rather than attempting to hold on to the village.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

So... many children without parents go to town's gate, and? Don't you think it's suspicious?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

So? Do something ala Children's Crusade.
