4/23/2011: The Battle Continues

[Jay Luo]

Battle continues to rage at Mountain Watch Keep, where heavy losses in the officer corps has led to several lieutenants abruptly inheriting the position of legion commanders. A number of Crab and Phoenix have recently joined their ancestors as the battle takes a heavy toll on all clans.

Who's your Taisa now!



<sub>I must say I was ready to write long rant about another kicking Kaneka enemies in butt, expecting requirement of 10 favors, but it turned out better than great



... next stop, sherikan?</sub>

SO GREATTTTTTTTTT Thanks Jay!

Question Jay (if this is the place) i did roll for the "Battlefield Maneuvers" and with a Battle score of 203 and water 16 rolled only 253. While counting my roll on water was cap at 10 dices i think (instead of 16). Is it normal?

[Tamori Koichi]

That's normal. That's what EE's been using for past events like this one. It's capped at 10, so having a 11 or higher ring doesn't affect the roll.

[Ojii]

Sad! So what is the point of higher rings (except fate)?

Does there need to be another point?

[Ojii]

Like in the RPG, the points past 10 in a ring could give a bonus to the roll. That is not just in this case but for every roll, if you're not in a bonified class skill from your school, then there is no way to win or even perform in those situation. Then again maybe its because i would put rings as important as skill. But this is EE and not Rokugan. This was just a suggestion.

The point ? ENLIGHTMENT of course !!!

[Kakita Shinji]

I wonder, given the lockout time does it mean that battle will go on for 10 days more (at least)? Or will it be moved to Northern Steppes, once we push Yobanjin out of Keep.

[Akodo Kenzo]

Personally, I hope that it goes for a while longer. It gives more people a chance to participate. The fact that it also gives me time to gain more levels and attempt to displace the Daidoji at the top of the Battlefield Maneuvers leaderboard is completely beside the point. <_<

[Kakita Shinji]

Well war will surley go lot longer, but I'm starting to hope for some radical developement, at least two major events should follow - pushing Yobanjin into Steppes, and reinforcements from Hachi. Perhaps some dire moment before those reinforcements (however we already had long siege).
That doesn't have to mean end of attack general action.
And I think most people who were interested already are fighting , bah I think many of them face shortage of troops. I must say I stopped fighting very hard, so that I'll have plenty troops for whatever comes next I'm basically running around doing other actions.

[Ojii]

Same for me, i did emereald everithing so i just go every now and then to get some more heroic op but for the rest the effort is done... and there is a shortage in troops.

[Akodo Kenzo]

Yeah, I had to fall back and gather reinforcement troops several times during my push on the general. I've been spending most of my time since then trying to build my resources back up and poking at the miscellaneous new actions that have popped up. I did come back to get promoted to Taisa, though. I mean, who wouldn't?

[Agasha Shodai]

I think having the higher rings gives you a higher number of dice rolled, but you only keep a maximum of 10, but I could be wrong.
