Dossier for:

The Fire Realm of the Warlock

“Fire Cleanses; Fire Purifies”

Dawn of the 4th Cycle of Alamaze

The Fiery Reach of the Red Warlock is a kingdom shaped and driven by its formidable leader, the Magus of Fire. This society revolves around the power and charisma of the Magus, who ensures the safety and prosperity of the realm. The Magus’s unrivaled mastery of magic lies at the heart of their society, wielding an extensive arsenal of devastating spells for battle. The kingdom’s military strength is not measured solely by its limited number of troops but is augmented by the Magus’s ability to summon creatures from other realms. These summoned creatures bolster their forces and provide an advantage on the battlefield.

One of the Magus’s most significant powers is their command of teleportation magic. This allows them to swiftly transport entire armies, granting them unparalleled control over the timing and location of battles. This strategic advantage keeps their enemies off balance and allows them to dictate the terms of engagement.

Within this society, there is a sense of security and confidence in the Magus’s protection. The people can flourish and thrive, knowing that their leader possesses an unmatched understanding of magic and can wield its power to safeguard the realm.

TO ARMS!

From Your  Protege:

Great Magus, we are fortunate to both have the relative security of our base, and to have wisely hidden our capital somewhere within our region. Alamaze trembles knowing your vast knowledge of battle spells and teleportation. Your intellect has provided our kingdom with Forethought. The Companions available to us are the most powerful in Alamaze, and should be utilized to augment our middling kingdom brigades when the economy allows for it. All things considered, Magus of Fire, your opportunity for great glory is prominent.

Specialized Traits For Our Kingdom:

The following traits provide special and unique bonuses for our kingdom. These effects are inherent and do not require specific action to enable unless otherwise specified in the section below.

Early Strategic Objectives:

Enter your selections for the Early Strategic Objectives with your orders on turns 1 through 3. Use Order #991 and reference the instructions in the Official Rulebook. If you do not select any objectives, your kingdom will receive the default objectives listed below:

Control a regionworth 2 points
Have 3+ Dukes (not Demon Princes/Consuls/King/Queen/Regent)worth 1 point

We are pursuing a MINOR ESO!

On turns 10 through 15, if our kingdom has achieved the above requirements to total 3 achievement points, we may claim awards worth 3 points!

Therefore a kingdom may win via Rex (control 5+ regions) or by Lion’s Share (most status points at end of the game).

The Fire Realm of the Warlock Military Dossier

Kingdom Brigade Description:

A balanced brigade, not heavily armed or armored. A good allotment of short bowmen, medium infantry equipped with spears and leather protection that have been trained to charge, a company of light horse. Special training has been mastered to execute Night Attacks. All in all, the Warlock brigades would be considered average, and the kingdom is best served by adding its wide assortment of available Companions as well as summoned brigades.

Kingdom Brigade Ratings:

LR MissileSR MissileCharge1st Melee2nd MeleeCombinedStorm (PC)Defense
AverageAverageAverageAbove AverageAverageAverageAverageAverage

Recruit Troops (Order #560), Recruit Companions (Order #565), or magically summoned brigades fight at their respective values for all kingdoms. They move according to the kingdom’s movement table. They consume food and gold at their respective rates. Groups at sea fight according to the fleet quantity and quality in the given sea.

Special Note: Flyers may be available for your kingdom through the Recruit Companions (Order #565) or as a Wizard Summoning Spell. All flying groups, either as natural flyers like Dragons or groups enhanced with special brigades/artifacts that bestow flying capabilities, are considered flying at all times. When specifying the group’s movement, all terrain costs are calculated as normally in your movement order (including when flying over water areas). However, flying groups whether they are all-natural flyers (e.g., all brigades of Griffons) or non-natural flyers (ground-based troops that gain flying by acquiring an artifact or by recruiting Giant Eagles) are checked throughout the turn if their situation changes. Flying status may be lost if the group no longer meets certain criteria such as losing division-sized status required by certain artifacts due to transferring troops between groups, combining groups together, or gaining additional troops through battle as what may occur with special troops like Zombies that eat the dead and grow in number. Or Lycanthrope that spreads among the injured on the battlefield and the group acquires new Lycan brigades. Another possibility to consider is if the group will receive any troop reinforcements, which occurs at certain intervals throughout the game. So, even though a ground-based, non-natural flying group may start the turn as a flyer, its status may change throughout the course of the game. A flying group that flys over or lands upon a water area may be issued any movement order (e.g., 720 and not required a sea movement order like 710).

Natural flyers are: Black/Red Dragons, Great Bats, Phoenixes, Specters, and Wyverns, as well as the new troop types of Air Elementals, Beholders, Chimeras, Cockatrices, Fairy Folk, Gargoyles, Giant Eagles, Griffons, Manticores, Mephits, Pixies, Rocs, and Sprites. Giant Eagles and Rocs are the only natural flyers capable of bestowing flight to ground-based troops. Artifacts that are capable of bestowing flight to others are: Great Red Bats of the Lost Caves, Green Dragon Mates, and the Last Herd of Winged Stallions. If a group consists of only natural-flyers or ground-based troops that become capable of flying, the following flight bonuses apply: +20% attack bonus vs pop centers, immune to Earthquake, Flash Flood, and Wall of Flame spells, patrol-sized groups have 32 (rather than 20) movement points (only for patrols of the Black Dragon, Red Dragon, and Fairy Folk kingdoms), may fly over water without a naval fleet being involved (may finish movement upon a water area), automatically performs a reconnaissance of the group’s location as a level 1 agent, and the flying group may not be flanked in battle (a special attack maneuver that certain kingdoms may perform).
