Castle Game: future is now

[idolpro]

[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!)

Okay.

[Sees Bad End drop down to 4.

Great, that means than they are in second place]

Any changes to how we do this?

[resonantblue]

[—!]

No changes. Silence is still confident with this choice.

[nohalation]

I'm okay...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

We should steal two. Maybe Taisho again...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That concerned about us getting targeted?

[A pause]

And I assume you mean one from each.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Yes, one from each.

[resonantblue]

That is fine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

My only concern is that no one is going to gift us.

If we succeed, it will be obvious that we stole from two units.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

What do you think the chance is that we'll succeed and no one will steal from us? Versus the risk of leaving us with only five or six points going into the final round.

[asonoficeandfire]

All right.

[justpure]

Tashio is at level two, they would realize someone is stealing their supplies if we kept stealing from them.

If we do steal two, it should be one from two units.

[resonantblue]

Even if they realize someone is stealing their supplies, there is nothing they can do about it. Let them realize it.

[justpure]

... [Nod.]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

They obviously already know they're being stolen from. There's no way for them to tell it's the same unit more than once.

[justpure]

True...

But so much at once... That might prompt them to steal themselves... Potentially from us.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

They're likely to steal, and to steal from us, regardless.

[justpure]

Ku ku ku...

Someone must have miscounted...

At any rate, I still think Wild City is a viable option.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Wild City is still a stupid option.

[justpure]

Hm...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

It's not certain they'll give away their materials, but it's a strong possibility. And it is nearly certain no one will gift them. There's no way we'd get two from them, and we might get zero. It's an idiotic risk, versus any other unit.

[justpure]

Fair...

But why do you insist we get two from the same unit?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's on our second tier avoid list. We exhaust our other options first.

[justpure]

Very well, then.

[asonoficeandfire]

I would prefer if we didn't target Wild City.
