3. And if they don't recognize a threat at first, they will when several friends die in that one chokepoint.

1. I'm not sure how useful those spike-walls would be, but with proper proof they might be I'm onboard. Also worth noting, that's not what I thought you meant.

3. That they aren't brainless, for starters. Some basic tactical ability, at least to the extent of dynamically linking cause and effect like many animals can, is pretty much guaranteed. And if one of the smart mungoes is around...

1. It doesn't work like that. A wall can't be "upgraded" except by destroying and replacing it or by using the old wall as a base for the new. A crappy wall makes a crappy foundation, and a half-built good wall is about as good as a bad wall. Why not just start the good wall?

1. This isn't Gods of Large, we have more than a week.

2. One guy isn't going to do much regardless of a chokepoint. Even if we get enough to go all 300, we still need to deal with exhaustion and attrition, plus #3.

3. So wait. You need them to be both smarter and dumber than DF goblins for your logic to make sense? If they're considered a sentient race, they're smarter than animals, and animals are smart enough not to suicide like that.

4. Perhaps, but a major mungo invasion that soon is lethal no matter what we do.

4a. Isn't this just 2 again?

Let's discuss soldiers.

There is a reason that once longbows took the battlefield, no (or very few) melee weapons were major parts of battles, except for a period when bayonets on rifles were popular. Being able to kill your enemy before he can hit you is a BIG advantage. Therefore, we want ranged units. That's why I suggested we look for those creatures--they are capable of various kinds of ranged attacks and--just as importantly--the GM probably knows what they are.
As for armor, it's important. Chitin has much to recommend, if we make it work on a large enough soldier. Otherwise, you probably can't beat a turtle shell for toughness, perhaps with a but of spongey spiracles or something.
On a related note, something like coral reefs but with stronger zooxanthelle would be a good living wall if we gave it better growth rates, as would bamboo if we made it tougher and...wallier.

Discuss.

I'm willing to accept you on the condition that you not blow up anyone in the alliance.
If he's joining us than you might want to change your action.

Hm. Maybe you need someone else. [5] Like this supervillain minion guy and his two friends, bereft of The Big Bad and The Evil Genius!

Also, there anyone here who does NOT know how to swim?
...I can swim better than most probably can.
Well, nice to know, but I think that today, the person completely helpless in water is the exception and not the rule, so it might be shorter to only list exceptional or non-swimmers.
Hence why I mentioned it in my skillsheet.

Tangential: how did I not get a SINGLE ACT from the power of a whole star, AND a century's worth of betrayers stuck in the ring?
Also, though I'm sure it's probably because "Lol GM fiat" which is fine, but how did the fleet find my system when by definition my system can't be found unless you literally stumble across it despite the fact that it's quite literally in the ass-end of nowhere?

Well, seeing how Udil started a new family and will pass on the traits that secured him the godhood, I'd say thats evolution at work.
Even accepting this as true, which I don't, and assuming gods reproduce in a normal way, which is probable, Udil himself isn't evolved. The changes were not caused by any remotely natural process; it's more proper to say that labradoodles evolved than Udil.
Technically they did, it was simply because of artificial selection, not natural. Still evolution.
Aware, although it's obviously a bit different since it's a crossbreed, and my point was that Udil wasn't evolved.

A few things...

1. Imperfect =/= Crap. Our walls will probably be somewhat resilient.
2. Chokepoints are only useful if we have some way to kill them easily when they get there, otherwise they'll just be overrun and ignored.
3. If we're not using DF!logic, mungoes who see their friends dying when they enter the gate will not go through the gate and will quite possibly go to wall-bashing.
4. All but the rabidest mungoes would probably look for a gate or weak spot before punching down a stone wall.

I suppose you have points on all except why you said we wanted a gate as near to enemy attacks as possible.

Come on guys, no need to hate on Udil. Just submit to him and all will be well.
No way you can be serious. Heck, the "Submit or die!" thing is a major reason for his hatedom.

Winning is never boring.
1. Yes it is, silly

3. Revenge!

There would be intense fighting against his rule.
And it wouldn't work well until we discovered his heat exhaust thingy before he discovers the manhole cover.
