Well, we DO want a sociopath, but we want one that doesn't hate us. Besides, we need her to know how to act relatively human.
Besides, we can always kill(secretly) our consort later. We could always challenge Alyshtr to do some mental feat for us in exchange for this(healing mum), as proof of her devotion to her mother. We don't want a spoiled brat.
It is about time we create another champion, if you ask me. Something strong. More demon than man. A combat machine.
Anyway, the guard is slowly being corrupted, we should increase the amount of dark pleasures he is presented with, to speed it up a little more.

She wont hate us. And while I agree that she need to be able to understand to understand/manipulate humans. The human feelings is just a weakness. I still susggest that we let our doughter do what she want with her mother. And donīt interviene. From a roleplay point of view that is.

And, its not like she agreed to bear our spawn. Why not start to reward our slaves aswell? Its the same thing. Dump, and very unevilish.

I do think it would be best to fix the mother. But have the daughter do it. If she can't punish her. Make it so that the mother has what she needs to be sane, but leave the two separated for a month or two. The mothers reward for her bearing the child is her life. The daughters reward for fixing her mother is her mother itself.

Can you describe this kind of warfare? Should our soldiers stand and beat their chest?

I think our daughter may find a way to fix mother, It's much more useful (she may learn a thing or two even if she fails) and much more roleplayish.
And rewarding the consort... guys, really? We are  way to kind to her, already:
1) She was honored to have a pleasant sex with KY
2) She was saved from a death
3) She was allowed to raise her daughter
4) She was given a chance to learn demonic magic and become stronger.
Isn't that enough?

As for Titaneghoul, It's a nice little nuke, but I'd prefer more cannon fodder. In fact I see few good uses for it. Inability to use another forces near it is a big, big disadvantage

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Personally I think we just force it towards the enemey towns and let it go on a rampage.

Its supposed to be very hard to kill meaning it will actually cause some damage which will then draw enemy forces away to attempt to deal with it. This will weaken the attack upon us and give us a better chance of coming out of this mess in a good manner.

Plus we then don't have to worry about feeding it or it eating our cultists.

Yeah, but eventually, the enemy generals and lords and whatnot would probably wise up after a while, and instead try to evacuate the people, instead of fighting it. 

Or you know, get some extremely powerful mages to kill it.

Problem with this thing that it is
a) Slow
b) Can't cooperate with other forces if KY isn't near
c) Resource consuming
d) Dangerous for our own realm
e) Not that unbeatable, several mages can kill it. Especially because it can't do anything against simple elementals or another incorporal enemies (no magical attack)
f) Leaves little resources to use after it's rampage

Cool, but from my powergaming point of view - wasted resources

And we must either waste even more resources to build a cage\feed this thing (with a constant risk that it breaks free) , or send it downriver to get killed by mages sooner or later. Or babysit it personally and carefully defend against magic. I dislike all options

My idea is to use it in the upcoming battle (Control it personally be spending might) to save other, more useful troops

Looking at it under that lighting, I agree. But, along with sending it with us, we need to have a backup option. A bad roll is all it takes to screw us over. bring a small number of troops FAR in the rear, just in case it falls to quickly.

Is the fort of the invading army close( or next to the river), if so, we can use the monster and the dwarfs to create a temporary barrage(should be that much work, just some trees and a small rockslide of two) to flush them away. If it doesn't work they'll have at least lost some troops and morale( You can't really see a flood coming, nor outrun it) If we are careful it wouldn't really damage our villages, and it might even increase the fertility(and corruption, since the river is corrupted) of our farms.

Quote from: The Glossary
Extreme mutations- turning an ordinary man into a 10-foot, chitin-plated, six armed, fire breathing monster- will completely destroy the mortals mind, rendering them mad creatures that act only on instinct. Occasionally this will be offset by the demon giving the creature a new mind as well, but often the anguished cries of the mad human mind amuse them so much that they readily accept any collateral damage they cause.

Powergaming sounds an awful lot like munchkining to my ears. Awesome but Impractical is what being a Demon is all about.

Also, folks asking about making the thing breed: No. The Titaneghoul (note spelling) is a unique monster, hence its position in your Champions list. Maybe, if it somehow gets killed, you could make another one.

Or we could set it lose on any city that can manage to defeat us.

Problem is, If the city could defeat us, they probably have the magic capability to kill the Titaneghoul. So it would be almost entirely wasted. I think we should lock it up somewhere from now and find some kind of way to control it. Maybe a simple manipulation of it's brain.(If we control the hungerreflex(which seems to be locked on ON now) we control the creature(More or less).

More less than more actually, but at least we can stop it from eating us... Stop it from eating to much of us. I think it's some kind of one man army, that only needs to have some ranged support and a distraction to prevent the enemy from overwhelming it.

Agreed.

Lets save our superduperunit for now. I bet it will be a real moralekiller in the future. And thats what our army is about.

Construct a temporary dam, flood the river and drown the invading army. How would the nations downstream like it when their entire army comes floating downstream, with no visible slashing, burning, magicking wounds. Also, knights and other armoured soldiers don't float.
