Swell idea but gnomes have rebreathers and the HE still have to make it past the wood elves who are on their doorstep.

I thought we had already established that Wood Elves would burn quickly.

Just cause their cities burn (which is unlikely -- it is druids (rain much?) vs mages/wizards) doesn't mean they are out of it.

Well, I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I think Kelethin burns easily. And even though the wood elves are in their natural environment, they will be very exposed to the rest of the races. Orcs, high elves, and dwarves in particular. They would hold up better than most in this situation, but won't pose much of a threat.

I think we are probably gonna have to. As the forest focused class, they are going to be masters of guerrilla warfare. Never with army lines, with an extremely mutable homebase, always attacking supply lines and hitting marching armies in the butt then fading back into the trees as the armies turn to attack them

Conclusion:
Barbarians would probably control the western side of the map, humanity locked into HHK, the DE's would sweep down from Neriak to take Commons, Kith and Rivervale, plus working into Freeport the Oasis etc.
Innothule and Feerott is just a mess and probably where the Iksars would go upon landing in Oasis to set up a permanent base.
Faydwer would end up being holding actions between the High Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes as it would be almost impossible to get inside the cities.

It would be interesting and ugly at the same time.

Good theory, I think eventually though any race without ressurection capabilities (I.e. clerics or necromancers) would eventually dwindle to nothingness.

Highly effective approach against dwarves and high elves, problematic against gnomes who have a LOT of tricks up their sleeves themselves.

I feel like the dwarves would just come through and burn/chop down all the trees in gfay. Notice the sparseness of trees in bb?

also, this thread would have been cool as a poll.

"Fading back into the trees..." HA! Good luck with that when there are no more trees.

And I really don't think rain is going to help much against all of the magical sources of fire (spells and elementals).

But that is a good point about the lack of city not counting Wood Elves out. They could probably survive indefinitely without a city.

Which High Elves and Gnomes have access to, dwarves do not. I don't think they would just be "defeated" though. They have a fairly sizeable outpost in TD, there are other zone(s?) in Faydader w/ lots of trees, Lesser Fay. They have druids to port them around. It would be foolishness with Elves with their low birthrate and lack of clerics to commit to any kind of stance or frontal assault and would instead be of the strike and run mentality.


Can druids forests? Maybe set up shop in South Karana.
