The brilliant guy who wrote the fluff last time probably couldn't repeat such an epic work, now could he ?

Knowing that guy, I have confidence that while the fluff will be quite different, it will be every bit as brilliant.

is he really? and what are the chances he'll mysteriously escape from prison in time to take part in this campaign

Probably pretty good. He has access to the keys and lets himself in and out as much as he wants.

sounds like the empire hasn't quite understood how prisons are supposed to work,
either that or they forgot to pay the guards

I pay my own guards, thank you very much.

Bah, all those armies arrayed against Marienberg and you never took the city. Still, plenty of mercenary captains made a LOT of money

Bah!

Looking at the final map, we have breached the Altdorf Road gate, and ransacked a good portion of the Northern side.
There were some minor skirmishes at the gate where it exchanged hands, but 3 of the 5 city regions north of the river were in our hands.

If anything, it still looks strongly like we have taken a significant portion of the city, while the Sigmarites had committed to an all out siege of the Southern walls, and were just starting to make some progress.

Once again, I have to say though, our success was based purely on SirUlrich's superior strategic intellect, and the strength of our allies from the woods!

That's funny

. The way I see it, Middenland and the Sigmarites have equal control over the city, only the Sigmarites control a larger amount of gates, ie ie connections to the outside world, ie MONEY.
Oh and there's the fact that Middenland is desperately clinging on to a few locations outside the city, so if that falls, you don't have a route back to Middenland. While the Sigmarites control half of Westerland, including a trade route to Bretonnia.
Besides, didn't the Middenland empire kinda fragment as a result of the war? While the Sigmarites made deals and restored trade with Marienburg, which was the point of going to war in the first place

Yes... because the army they used in the campaign (that is, the players) were all from Ostland and Hochland - both of which had been conquered by Middenland. So the formation of the Northern League was a good thing for the players. And to think people say these things are rail-roaded and the players don't have any effect on the fluff!

I think the problems with the Marienburg campaign were:

- unequal faction numbers, caused by the 'everyone loves Sigmar' problem. Towards the end, there were huge numbers of Sigmarites and about four Middenlanders, so we had to use huge balancing factors.

- little mechanical enforcement of the starvation scenario. We needed a resources system.

The fact that the players help create the fluff is one of the best parts.

Thanks for putting the site back up! Although I havent' had time to take a re-look yet, huge appreciation for this. Huge.

Some of the fluff I recall that I enjoyed creating with another player from the Sigmarite faction was wrapped around the other fort on the other side of the bay from Fort Solace, but its name is slipping me at the moment. Also, I enjoyed contributing to the fluff about capturing someone who was rumored to have aided, accidentally or not, the destruction of another more landward place called, if I recall correctly, Western Kasteel.

Just proving that the Sigmarites had no honor and were a bunch of backstabbing hypocrites. All this talk of 'Holy Sigmar this' and 'heretic that'

indeed!

The point was killing Marienburgers!

as GP said one of the best parts is the players having an impact on the fluff, without this campaigns would be far worse, an example of this is "Project Supremacy" which i heard about on the UE apparently Shiva's idea was so popular GW adopted it themselves and i think that is what this campaign should be like - well maybe not quite as drastic, everyone can't just go around inventing nukes whenever they want but there should definitely be ways for people to have an impact on the campaign fluff

Really hope there isn't a 30 page thread about a treaty to moderate. Would take ages.

Cute.

And yep, kill Marienburgers for food seemed to be the idea.

Interesting that there are those who still fear treaties. Its just suppose to be a game. Besides, isn't T&G about treachery and greed anyway?

Actually I designed a flagellant special character (Samuel Gurtsohn) who did that...His backstory was that the hunger had driven him mad, so he felt that the best way to punish the greedy, heretic Marienburgers who let Sigmarites starve, was to eat them alive.

... I had to tone it down a bit to get it accepted. No eating the enemies.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #168 on:** July 30, 2010, 07:00:57 PM »

I don't recall that one, but it a goody.

Imagine that, Sigmarites eating their enemies so they don't starve.
