Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. MC is acting like a prehistorical chieftain of a tribe of Neanderthals (sitting on his throne & fucking slaves) - when he should be learning about logistics from Taina and spending most of his days with Tink creating engagement/deployment plans and then tearing into them, looking for weaknesses and evaluating exit strategies in case they don't work out and sending out perspective underlings to get some fighting experience leading raids. Ancient Romans were able to do it in year 230BC - there's no reason why MC & Tink can't do it now.
To be fair, it's a porn game, and there are large chunks of the day that are not accounted for, thanks to the time block style of play, so there could be things like that happening behind the scenes.

lol yeah, we see, at most, 4 events per day. 1 for each time period.
I'm sure other things were happening, while we were in the morning meeting, when we went out on a raid, when we visited the Queen, etc.
I'll leave this one with a repeat of my final sentence, above.
This game is not pretending to be a factual military sim.

Forgive me for asking a possibly stupid question but with all these ideas of how or not we could beat the horde - what do we know about them? As already Sun-Tzu knew, you need to know your enemy. If we accept gameplay and story segregation: do we even have any indication of their size? I don't remember numbers being given. If there were, the following of course would be wrong. They could be 200, in which case I'll just smother them with people, almost no weapons needed. They could field 20,000 armed guys, in which case whoopsie daisy.

As has been pointed out, only a few of us have gotten any real military strategy training, so what we know is from games, books and movies. So a single guy (or a small team) can easily take out hundreds. Strategy, apart from superior numbers, is often based on superior units and the rock-paper-scissors principle. So we tend to apply these principles to other games as well, even if they don't have them. Some games even have complaints on their forums that you cannot single handedly stop invasions of thousands of enemies all at once (and not in the nice small groups of 20 tops we usually encounter them).

I personally have no idea on how strong the horde is, how their logistics or tactics work, and thus don't know whether they will just roll over after using a certain tactic or whether I would just hit a brick wall.
we know little about them other than they want to blow up the entire planet .... therefore .. they are evil and must DIE !!!

The thing is, for tactics to work, the other side has to not counter it. It's not like you can kill someone using those tactics in one day. If you're smart enough to figure it out, then so are they. If the other side is smart enough to counter you, then it won't work.

But, as I said, everyone in this story is crazy. MC wanted to stop being taken advantage of, so he goes to take control. His entire team goes out to raid other people just like themselves and then turn them into slaves. These are not noble guys, and MC thinks with his dick anyway. Taina wants to make the place better for her people, but really she just wanted to be the leader, and ended up in conflict with herself for wanting MC instead. None of these people are right in the head, and they didn't get to where they are by being smart, and I don't mean just the examples above, I meant everyone. I don't worry about it, I just play the game. ^_^

Will we have a chance to make the person we want queen in the future? And when do we get Megan out of jail?

"To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
Let your surviving enemies tell your tale of victory, with veracity.
The next city has already lost, to your reputation, before you reach them.

Hmmmm ... another traitor in your closest circle ... that would go down well with the crowd I guess ...
I mean, the only reason Taina wasn't all that well received was because u can't really punish/kill her or Megan cause some idiotic rule, which could easily bypassed.
Adding Pino or some other man wouldn't much of a problem for the most, i guess and u can kill him...thought it would just piss me off that i still can't put Taina and Megan on a pyre.

I like Taina and Megan. I want Megan to take the traitor's spot, if it does turn out to be one of the council. <_<
