[OOC] The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)

[Romero]

Effectively you're right, plague won't stop them

[Eklispe]

I bet it'll make them stronger cause they'll absorb it and use it on us. O.O

[Legion02]

I'm just thinking here but if the darkness is pretty much Necromancy to the extreme...won't Holy Light completely stop them in their tracks?

[Bright_Ops]

@Legion02

Not really. The creatures of the darkness are less undead and more lovecraftian horror. They aren't undead because they were never alive to begin with.

[Romero]

@Bright_Ops has got it right, they're not actually undead, so Divine Magic won't effect them anymore than it would any other non-Necromancy soldiers.

[ForKhorne]

Are there going to be any new traits further down the line that do help against the Darkness?

[Romero]

There may well be!

[Bright_Ops]

The way things are going, necromancy might gain an ability that is anti - darkness if only because there are going to be an insane amount of them on the front line against it. No divine nation has really had a go at it yet (and lived to tell about it).

[Romero]

Very true. There's only one Divine Magic using power left on the board and they're about as far from the Darkness as you can be! I was hoping ClocktowerEchoes would stick around, as the Holy Inperium would have made a good Divine front line, but what will be will be

[Bright_Ops]

@Romero

Granted, Divine Magic could one day make a comeback. Not right now through; this day seems to belong to the Necromancers!

[Romero]

Everyone who hasn't, get their posts up before Sunday!

[ForKhorne]

I'll have mine up later today hopefully!

[Mardox]

I haven't been at my best. I shall do it Saturday.

[Bright_Ops]

I feel the need to ask, but can the Darkness breed on ocean tiles? Will a patch of ocean taken by the darkness produce more creature by itself or do the monsters need to be created on land and march into the sea?

[Mardox]

Also, will any NPCs side with the Darkness?

[Romero]

@Bright_Ops The Darkness cannot increase in number in the sea province, instead imagine that they are continuously pushing in from the east/west respectively from an unknown point off board

@Mardox Not that there all that many NPC nations left, but theoretically they could. While the Darkness itself is a staggeringly large army of monsters, they are led by Arch-Lich who can look like any other Magi and be very convincing.

[ForKhorne]

@RomeroSo does that mean that the Arch-Lich might come and talk to us? Try and win some of us over etc?

[Romero]

Very possibly! Maybe he already has...

[Lauder]

@Romero

Alright, got a breather from school! That allowed to look over what was going on and I must say, it's gonna go down.

[Romero]

If you're at all interested in jumping back in, do so now, or else I'll have enacted my secret master plan for the NPC Confederacy
