You seem to be implying that I won't just destroy everything and not give a damn about fighting.

Especally considering that you're well beyond your supply lines. You can't feed yourself with supplies from home. Your pop works for food next epoch, my 7 kill it. And my 7 won't feed yours.

He fed the unit the epoch it left. He could also make wealth in his factories, but is too greedy for that.

Next epoch your pop will have all starved because you destroyed the farms and granary.

Granary isn't online yet. Check your epochs.

Also, Hark made it so I couldn't destroy all the farms. We can still feed ourselves.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Plus you don't have to die, you can go off a-hording and come back later to seek vengeance.

Not entirely sure how the whole transition to horde mode works. Suffice to say that I'm not leaving Skyshard with anyone living in it.

Presumably all you have to do is declare that you're making the transition, then assign population to become Nomads. I think Hark and I thought that you could designate half your population to join the Horde (with maybe more if you burn resources on it like Wealth and Food). Then you no longer operate as a civilization, but rather under the Horde rules.

The trouble is that that might leave population under Apple's rule, since the mechanics give him control of your pronounce and her assets at the end of the epoch. But you can always come back to liberate the more weak-willed members of your society later.

No, never mind that, you can starve population, but it will rebel.

1. Note that your people fighting without a weapons workshop would be weaker than a normal militia.
2. Note that you cannot use more than 3 militias in a normal battle, so whatever your using would have to be as low or lower than that.

He'd probably rather have rebels than let Apple have obedient citizens.

I know, but he claims that they can. I'm just saying that even if that's allowed, it wouldn't be of much use.

he could crush the rebellion as he waltzes in before they get any weapons workshops up.

[Lunas Legion]

Wait. If I starved everyone, they'd rebel.

Hmm. So if I starve everyone and then blame Apple's army of occupation for the starvation, problem solved, right?

[Lunas Legion]

Rebels shouldn't have to get weapons workshops up, otherwise they aren't a threat and people would kill them as soon as they spawned. Give rebels a few (1-2) basic units for self-defence while they set up, make them an actual threat.

Wouldn't the rebellion lark off elsewhere? And then get a +1 Defense Bonus?

Regardless, I'm still betting Lunas would prefer dead rebels to living slaves.

Also you should clarify how becoming a Horde works. I was thinking 1/2th of your population can be converted by default to nomads, but maybe he could invest food and wealth to save more people.

Hey, I had to build a workshop to make the exact same type of units, so should you.

I'm not saying give me the units.

I'm saying give the 7 pop units that rebelled from Skyshard the units and are under Hark's control as OP-Rebel-Controller.

There's a difference.

Um… Hark, could you please respond? I don't know what to say anymore.

But even they will be helpless to do anything. Rebels don't summon weapons.

[Seno Zhou Varada]

They could have a stick? Less than 1 strength (like .02 strength).

[Lunas Legion]

They're rebels. They should have weapons of some sort, otherwise at most they're just choosing to leave, not rebel.

Well, my rebels just walked off to do their own thing.

With blackjack. And hookers.

Also Hark, I think the poll needs more options. We should be able to define our own big things like religion/wonders/ideology, and maybe a unit or two, but most buildings and units should be from a universal list.

They would get weapons if there were some lying around (eg, not active troops) or maybe if there was a weapons workshop, but there are none.

Well, I was gonna have around 50% units/buildings universal, especially late game.

[Lunas Legion]

What about improvised weapons though? Scythes, sickles, shovels, spades. That sort of thing.

That's what a militia has.

But they need to be organized and trained and outfitted for battle.

And why do they need a weapons manufactory for training?

I should have called it a barracks.
but that's too mainstream.
