On "the Beginning Of The End"

[Shambleau 24]

I wanted to make this because my post on the warclaim was removed.

 

Why can't the Dwarves agree to the conquest with the ooc agreement that Dwarves get to remain in the capital and use it? That is, they would be taken over in roleplay, but they retain their roleplay hub and get to keep managing it as they please, with some minor exceptions by the conquering party. Dwarves would also get to keep their soulstone thingy. It seems more sensible that they be allowed to do so as they are trying so hard! Humans would also have to deal with the constant threat of rebellion and Dwarves ready to conquer them should the Humans ever decline (Boltons).

 

On the point about the mountain, I believe it is rply difficult to scale a mountain of that size with an entire army. I don't think that is a good idea.

 

On the point about the tnt, it should be used in moderation but not denied as it is an item in the craftbook (Maybe moderated). I don't feel like it is fair to outright deny it! Tnt can be fun, especially on the defending side because you can set up tnt traps.

Hannibal climbed over the Alps with an army that included Elephants. MC mountains are pitiful in comparison to even them.

Unmoderated TNT (meaning you can blow up anything you want) will ruin our landscape and warclaim as it just promotes blowing up any form of resistance. Our pathways are dirt and gravel, our walls aren't 100% obsidian, it'd be cancer in it's rawest form.

 

In general I'm okay with a conquest, I've no idea why it's a Pillage.

Most of Hannibal's men and elephants died during that trip. Mainly that's why they lost.

Were they marching through mountain paths or climbing almost literal flat mountain sides?

He rode on the back of one of the few remaining alive elephants as a warning to his men that tried turning around, that he would be there to kill them. That hardly sounds a reference to use when justifying a bunch of men eagerly on their way to freeze their wiggly bits off in their march to slaughter midgets.

Dwarves will be dwarves, 501 will be 501.

Why do you think that if Oren breaches the outer city we would go wasting our tnt on unimportant things saying "hahahah **** the dorf city!!!". We won't. TNT is a very valuable and rare resource and I doubt the Orenian leaders would use it to destroy clan halls and whatever. If you want your city intact then maybe having a pillage where orenian soldiers can go around setting fires and looting isnt such a good idea?

I suggested TNT on the gates only and no climbing. Well there's a wall being built to prevent ladders anyways so you'll have to come from the front anyways.

I'm against Tnt, because I'm sure someone will decide to be a joker and fire at the outside clan halls. And honestly, I would be pretty mad to see a giant whopping hole in my newly decorated clan hall.

 

 

EDIT: Woo! 500 Posts!

I'm not even talking about blowing up clan halls, with TNT getting by defenses is too easy in my opinion.

I mean, look at the Wood Elf warclaim. The MCNames were literally metad to get to where everyone was and then they always appeared to get 'lucky'.
