IT'S A GAME, NOT A SIMULATION!!!

But if you must try to justify it, splash damage.

Yeah, yeah, it's a game. I get it. And a GREAT one at that. The story and characters are some of the things that make it so fun. I'm just playing around with the "acid on the sword" comment. But the whole "splash effect" does pretty much explain it.

From the FAQ:

Quote:

In the overall story, which Valkyrie Generals are allies, which
ones are enemies?
Originally, the good/bad lines were drawn as follows:
Good: Jandar & Aquilla
Neutral: Ullar, Vydar, & Einar.
Bad: Utgar
With the evolution of the conflict
described in Thormun’s

Journal,
Jandar’s alliance consists of Jandar, Ullar, Einar, Vydar,
& Aquilla who are
all pitted against Utgar’s terrifying forces.

However, with the events that occurred in the River of Blood,
anything could happen.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

I dug up an old version of the original FAQ that talked about this a while back. Don't have it with me now, but I'm fairly sure it said (roughly) that Jandar was good, Utgar was bad, the others were neutral, though with Ullar leaning toward Jandar and the others towards Utgar (note Valguard and Sudema, as examples of this early leaning).

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Here it is (from way back):

Quote:
Which Valkyrie Generals are allies, which ones are enemies?
Normally the good/bad lines are drawn as follows:
Good: Jandar
Bad: Utgar
Neutral with slight leanings toward one side or the other: Ullar, Vydar, Einar. So, currently Ullar is allied with Jandar and Einar/ Vydar are with Utgar but alliances can change...

Speaking of River of Blood, any news on when we will finally get that?

First: It's a game, not a simulation. Sometimes rules don't make perfect physical / thematic sense in this game. They are just mechanics that provide a ruleset to play within.quote]


You got that right!! I just played a game with Abomination and we were on a map where there was a bridge surrounded with lava. Well he had 3-4 marro dividers in front of James Murphy and he did his Shotgun Blast Special Attack on one of my zombies who was 5 spaces away.

Now think about that if it was realistic. That shotgun blast WOULD have killed all those marro dividers. But if we ever made Heroscape completely accurate then it would be to complicated. I mean sometimes I wonder why figures can't jump accross things...........

But yeah it's jut a game hahah!

Oh and btw that little thing about braxas just made her a little better. I mean i've played games with minions and i've seen their huge wings sticking out but never did my acid because i thought you had to see the body part. I can't wait to tell my brother!

Einar's the BOMB!!!

And these alliances matter because...? (Seriously asking the question.)
