n(n+1) * 50 * 18 / 2 = 900,000
n(n+1) = 2000
n^2 + n - 2000 = 0

And because I'm too lazy to look up the quadratic formula, Wolfram Alpha is happy to tell me that 44.2 rangers can kill the Avatar of War (or -45.2 !).

It would be pretty awesome to try this with betabuff.
you didnt account for rangers dying off to rampage loraen, pretty disappointed in your maths
