MEPBM - Balrogs From: sheppard@onramp.net (Andy Sheppard) Date: Sat, 21 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Playing the (freep) Duns in a 1650 game, I encountered a Fire King army. He had "A Balrog" with him, which proceeded to rip my army apart during the combat just like a dragon would. The combat report we quite impressive - "A Balrog, a great fiery being with a long whip and...". Now, it makes sense that the Fire King if anyone would have a Balrog with his army, but how do you recruit him? On the flip side, I had an 85 agent in the hex who managed to assassinate the Balrog the same turn. I figure it's possible to assassinate any NPC in the game, including dragons, but the downside is bad news - what happens when you fail to assassinate someone with a skill of 100? You take 100 points of damage... -- Andy Sheppard sheppard@onramp.net Referenced By Up
