Macro-Tactics, Monday

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Now, this is a class on macro-tactics. Top down. That's the theory." Kerrigan was grinning like a shark today. The walls of their usual Danger Shop hideout weren't metal this time, either. They were solid brick, old brick, cracked brick. "But sometimes, you need to know a little bit about what goes on on the floor to make it work."

Her eyes slid across the students, looking for Blackagar if he was there. "Some of you wanted to know how to combat the tactics we talked about last week," she said. "I'm graciously giving you a chance to figure it out for yourself. Let's do this the classic way."

She kicked open a door in the corner of the room. "Medieval castle," she said, smoothly. "You're surrounded right now, and your enemy's going to be trying all kinds of tactics to get in here. You can command whatever moddable NPC soldiers, archers and knights you run into. I have five kinds of battle stations. Pick yours, swap it around if you're through with it. You do learn by doing..."

Re: The Castle - Storage

Alexander did feel that, perhaps, armed with a sword for defense, he should have taken a more active approach with battle, but, on the other hand, reasonably speaking, if he were in a situation like this (and he very likely could be one day), he would not be on the front lines, even if he wanted to. He would be king, or if not king, then on the way to becoming one, and, as such, he would have tasks more like this one, safer from harm and in charge of caring for his people.

That, and, well, interestingly, it was similar to what he did as a slave, as well.

Besides, knowing too well about old castles and their secrets, he wanted to check the storage room for any secret entrances or tunnels that might be used as a way for the enemy to sneak in if they had the right intelligence about such things.
