New GoT Winner Poll

[kolakoski]

Well met!

Now that it has been determined who among the Gang will be playing what faction, it's time for the traditional Who Will Win Poll.

The choices:

1. kolakoski/ The Undead Horde.

2. Taeblewalker & chas/The North/Targaryen Alliance.

3. Sherman/The Lannisters.

4. A draw.

@worthless thread clother - Can you post a Summary of each of these options. I.E. one line if only the relevant data of the actual armies.

Victory Conditions.

The Undead immediately win, and the game is over, if the Undead King stands on the Glyph of Ultimate Power for one full Round.

If the Undead have not won by the end of 10 Rounds:

1. The Lannisters win if there are more Lannister Heroes within the Castle Courtyard than Northern and Targaryen Heroes combined;

2. If there are more Northern and Targaryen Heroes (combined) within the Castle Courtyard than Lannister Heroes, the Northern and Targaryen factions (combined) win;

3. If there are no Alliance heroes within the Castle Courtyard, the Undead win;

4. If the number of Lannister Heroes equals the number of Northern/Targaryen Heroes (combined), within the Castle Courtyard, no one wins, and the game is a draw.

See above. The entire scenario can be found here.

The Alliance composed of The North and The Targaryens will win, because the scenario is designed so well, that they have to work together even if they don't work together consciously by planning with each other during play.

PS: It never hurts to get in good with the Game Master before Game Day!

I believe an uneasy alliance composed of The Lannisters and The Undead Horde will crush The Alliance between them, with the former always poised to help stave off a Glyph win for The Undead Horde, while both kill as many Alliance Heroes as possible in the meantime.

"chas did not realize until the end of the first Round that the Undead King had to spend an entire Round on the Glyph, rather than merely being on it at the end of a Round.

"The Undead immediately win, and the game is over, if the Undead King stands on the Glyph of Ultimate Power for one full Round.

"He began with Wyverns, which were immediately destroyed (both were reanimated)."

As now constituted, The Undead Horde will have a real shot at a Glyph win, early if they gain initiative over the North in the first Round, until the Undead King is destroyed, and will more aggressively pursue Alliance Heroes, ignoring leaving engagement attacks on their own Heroes.

Maybe, but it would appear that so far other participants agree with me (both of them).

How soon we forget that all the Pollsters got it wrong last time!
