And how would we sustain such numbers?... leave alone justify these numbers.
By providing them with provisions made out of resources aquired either by trade with local traders, trade with Rumah, outside traders. Foraging is also a option for troops working outside of Arenfield if they wish to aquire some more provisions.
And that's also depends IF we want to provide local garrison of Arenfield with provisions. By the time of fortified Arenfield most of those soldiers and workers would call themself locals and maybe moved thier family to Arenfield. Surely some of them would rather wish for increased pay in order to sustain themself and thier family over provisions.
With such an army at his door steps Giron would call for help by the King without a second thought... he is already weary about the MC with this small band.
By the time we raise such force Giron will be the best and long known friend of Dasan and Zorad.
You don't need to there is enough space on the hill side next to her house to build another tower.. though she chose solitude on herself so maybe she won't be thrilled about her neighbors.
I meant her solitude. She wouln't agree out of it to fortify it.
Only if you want a single soldier to be able to push over the wall... the rock bed is uneven and at parts likely instable, there is a river running through town we'd also have to cover somehow (most invasions come via the waterway since it's much harder to build a tight fortification over those)
I meant to use those for palisade foundation. Not to build stone wall out of it.
There are races with Magic affinity and mages though humans themselfes hunt mages so I don't think you can expect any human mages around.
The end justify the means. Either out of desperation or oportunity someone could ask for thier aid. Like Eric for example. He already tried to ally himself with orcs. Surely he would ask a mage for aid if had opportunity to do so if it means he can win the war.
True there was an explosion... but was it explosives? Ophilia survived that explosion while the commander died it couldn't have been strong one (unlikely enough to harm a stone fortification) or atleast a direct blast... maybe the cult created a spellrole/rune? (Fireball right into the commanders face)
Given the rarity of magic users I would rather believe it was some form of explosives rather than a trap rune.
All technologies that require in depth understanding of architecture static... you'd need experienced people for that... which is unlikely to be available like
HentaiKami said.
I disagree. While things like machicolations on the castle walls would require an architect, wooden hoardings and platforms over the walls could be easily build by Rick, Roderid and the defenders themself. Creating overlaping angles would not require technical knowledge of an architect at all, but a working brain.
I doubt many Players will have the money to pay it, I consider myself a hardcore player with over 100 hours of gameplay but I doubt the majority has over 50 hours of gameplay... and even I think I am lacking founds for such a Project.
Well, if there is no challange then where is the fun?
Where would they rest than?
There are no empty houses in Arenfield and not enough place to build a large house with several rooms.
They would rest in huts we would build, becasue there is A LOT of empty space in Arenfield to build houses. Unless, instead of putting people in small, one room houses like they are used to live with thier families, we want for everyone to have thier very own two story building with a garden, garage and a backyard. Then yes, it might be a problem.
If you remember how Long Rumahs 5 people took to clear the second part of the camp you might rethink this.
Tia keeps acutting away at the same treeline from day 1 and never pushes beyond it
Because they they are actually lazy tribe of halfling drunktards. They only want to drink and fuck.
Ayita is only sitting near the fire all day fingering her pussy, except for evening when she is dancing in the same spot where she was sitting.
Hiba is no better. Cause she's doing nothing... all day. I actually suprised she can do that. Standing in one place whole day waiting for your Chieftain to ask you to fuck. That's a dedication!
And don't let me start about those "hunters". They sit on those furs all they watching fire. I bet fur and meat are actually provided by woodcutters nad miners, because they hunt when going to and returning from thier place of work.
So how those "hunters" are actually manage to hurt themself? Simple. They watched too many hentai and when they see boobs they get nosebleeds. And because every woman is without a bra they get nosebleeds constantly.
The only good lad there is Umin, cause he's working for a living! Unlike the rest of that damn village of halflings!
Rumah people don't like the pale people... I can't imagine them useing their goods, they are even completly self sufficient, haveing a workshop for armors and weapons themselfes
And thier chieftain is pale and is trading thier wood, fur and copper for wine, ropes and other things they need, because they aren't so self-sufficient. They run around without armors, only in loincloths. And thier weapons are simple bows and copper spears. Meanwhile we have full body chainmails, shields, iron axes, swords, daggers, and even silver arrows for magical users. And also healers.
No matter how much they don't like pale people, they will have to accept thier better arms in exchange for higher amounts of thier resources if they want to have fighting chance against orcs. That or Umin must quickly learn to be also blacksmith and armorer for thier village. Because that palisade and small lookouts won't hold more orcs for long.
My point is more about this takeing several generations to Upgrade from Roman castrum to middle aged Stronghold.
From nothing to Stronghold? Yes, generations.
Form nothing to fortified Arenfield? Decade or few years at best.
