Castle Game: future is now

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?

(Rules & questions are here. Cleo is your gamerunner!)

We were given material?

Or someone gifted Taisho and we stole it.

Ah. Right.

We clearly must avoid stealing from pep!pep! and LiliS. They are either giving up everything they have like fools... or being targeted heavily.

Or some matter in between.

If we're still avoiding WILD CITY, Bad End should be our next target. Otherwise, we should pick from the unit in the lead.

Wild City has to know they look like the best target. And they're almost entirely safe... they could just give away all their materials so they at least choose where they go.

But we do not know if they are planning to do so, yes?

The same could be send of Bad End. They could either be targetted or gift their resources this round.

I think we should go after someone middling like SensitIV.

I agree.

No objections. They are on our list.

That's all right with me.

I only have one question about this arrangement.

Suppose more than three units target SensitIV. What then?

I would assume it means one of the units doesn't steal a resource. Though the rules aren't clear about how that is decided.

[~~assume Medusa said 4 instead of 3~~]

They aren't... I don't know if whoever made this game thought of that route.

[In my head, I read it as 4, so we're on the same wavelength]

Of course they did. It adds a layer of strategy. Is there a point in stealing if you don't get anything.
