So, for my upcoming Mass Battle, I'm tracking the following Allied Assets:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tor Sethai Dwarf Breakers. If the players successfully train the elven recruits at Tor Sethai, they gain this Asset, which grants a +1 to the Zone they are deployed on.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deathstalker Assassins. If the players find and destroy the Scarlet Crusade expedition (yes, I directly stole it from WoW - I'm not ashamed), they gain this Asset, which lets them deploy 2x Deathstalker Assassins as allied units for one encounter.</li> </ul>As we keep playing up to the Mass Battle, and depending on their actions, I might add more.The Enemy Assets I'm preparing are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Frostweave Shardstorm. This powerful floating shard disrupts allied movement in this Zone, giving a -2 penalty to the Battle Roll. If engaged as an Encounter, it becomes a Lair Action, acting in Initiative Count 20, dealing 2d10 Necrotic Damage in a 15-foot radius sphere centered on a point. This Asset moves randomly (roll 1d10, ignore a result of 10).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hellspore. This goremound has created a rancid, thick-green smoke obscuring demonic activity. All adjacent Zones suffer a -1 to the Battle Roll. This Asset cannot move.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Faithbreakers. This elite unit of demons increases the combat difficulty of a Zone, granting enemy reinforcements of 3x bearded devils and 1x maw demon. This Asset cannot be destroyed through a Battle Roll; it must be destroyed via an encounter.</li> </ul>Typically, if an Asset is in a Zone that is lost, the Asset is destroyed, but in the case of the Faithbreakers, I wanted to add the temptation of the players directly choosing to confront them in an encounter.edit: to clarify, the +1, or the -2, etc. are modifiers to the Battle Roll. So normally, the Battle roll is 2d6 +/- crumbling/advancing +/- Asset Modifiers. For example, if the players deploy the Dwarf Breakers on a zone at the start of the battle, that Zone's Battle Roll is 2d6+1. </blockquote>
