[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 793237, member: 1125"] Thre trouble I'm having is imagining just how a Formian army works and how the Auselen fit into its tactics. All I can imagine is a mass of Formians marching forward and destroying everything they meet, they don't change direction or formation unless it is to pursue a new victim and overcome them with overwhelming numbers. Individual Formians might die but the others in the legion don't stop or even look they go straight over the top and keeping marching relentlessly forward. Then behind them come the Workers who gather up the peices of the fallen formians and reconstitute them as Task Master Towers or war machines! The Cressians start by using their tried and true hit and run tactics only to find that they don't work. Formians never break ranks and never get routed. The Cressians launch their atlatl propelled spears and fell a few Formians - the legion keeps coming A few Deltanes attack the Formian flank tearing into the Formian warriors arrayed they. A few Formians break off and surround the Deltane eventually killing her- the legion keeps coming Stempa mecenaries form a Spear wall and three ranks of Formians are killed to no avail- the legion keeps coming The Cressians use Briar web to try and half the Formian Advance the Formian Legion use the corpses of their dead to build bridges and course ways to climb up and over the Cressian Defensive Line The Formians are unstoppable and soon the Cressians turn and flee - the legion keeps coming! What are the Auselen doing during all this time? Also what has happened to the Hive? - if the Formian Legion is in Cressia (and thus outside the 50 mile Hivemind radius) does the Fortress move and follow them? Or do the Tasks Masters teleport back and forth between the Hive and the Cressian fronline? Is this reliance on Teleport the weakness which will finally be exploited by the Cressians? [/QUOTE]
