Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
So, things are drawing to a close. This has been well worth the read for me. Gorgeous climax, elegant coda. Also, I don't think I have seen anything quite as terrifying as Wanda's smile in the next to last panel for a while. Wanda... is not getting any less scary.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
I seriously doubt Wanda will betray Stanley. Because:
1-Stanley is still needed to produce and control moar dwagons.
2-Wanda's really not in the position to sacrifice allies.
3-Wanda still doesn't know how strong his UncroAnsom is, but she knows Stnaley's a veteran warrior.
4-Stanley has a lot more experience using his artifact than Wanda.
5-Staley probably will be even easier to manipulate after all these events.
6-Hamster's loyalty is to Stanley, and he wouldn't sit idly while Wanda tried to backstab his Toolship.
So, Wanda may try to urn against Stanley later, but not now. Wanda's a carefull planner, and a carefull planner only betrays his master when he doesn't serve any more purpose and you've built yourself a strong power base. Wanda neither has a strong power base(very few units, a mostly demolished city), and Stanley is stil usefull to her.
Decius: I'm not understanding your reply. Didn't you mean "if there are no witnesses"? Anyway, we still don't know if TV will convince Jillian to reveal FAQ's location. She would probably breack her contract and go hunt Stanley herself than give up now.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
So the Archenpliers can make a new type of unit. Croak Knight sounds like a good term until we know more. There is a chance we may get to see Scarlet again. (I don't see Bagroll being brought back though)
What's interesting is that even Wanda does not know what Croak Knight Ansom is. So Wanda is being scary again (what's new about that?). I am fairly sure that Ansom does have his memories, in the last panel he look more than a little pissed off, but I don't think he can do anything about it. Wanda ownes him (let's see how you like being treated like you treated others buddy!) and cannot do anything without orders from her.
Stanley seems to be getting better. Is it me or did he seem happier being out in the field as oppopsed to being the man behind the big desk?
The comment about barbarians from Wanda may indicate that she is on the lookout for one certain barbarian, Jillian (note, she seemed a little sad when she said that).
I wonder if Pason is smiling about the irony of Ansom being uncroaked when it was very clead he detested them. Or just the fact he can rub Ansom's nose in the fact that he won and Ansom lost (big time).
All in all, ANOTHER great page.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
They were radishes not turnips. :P
From this early strip we know that un-croaked warlords have their own crests, but if Wanda had any form of crest it would certainly be a little skull.
Love the strip; POP!-RAWWWRRR! ^^
I guess Stanley doesn't need to find and tame Dwagons after all. And now Wanda can move through the ruins and revive all the best Gobwin/Coalition units, maybe even Archons...hey can you revive recroaked-uncroaked units? :P

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
The blue dwagon popped because Stanley likely ordered it several days ago to replace the one the barbarian killed. It's taken that long to finish.
Ansom is not "resurrected." If he were, then he would not be asking what he was. He would be saying "I'm alive? How?" He almost certainly has all his old memories and now recognizes that he is something he has never himself encountered before. His powers and abilities might be identical to what he had before, but he is somehow flagged as different, if only because his allegiance has been changed naturally through the decrypting. Not that Wanda couldn't prolly handle the odd healing spell, but necromancers do not resurrect.
It would prolly be appropriate if Prince Un-some had some special power/weakness as a result of the decrypting, but we shall see.Last edited by Vreejack; 2009-04-29 at 05:07 AM.

WOO, SCORE! First Haley, now Wanda. Is it girl power week or something?
And no more of this croaknight business. He's clearly a Warlord Formerly Known As Prince.
Yes, he's seems much less a caricature of a man now. Maybe being popped as a normal unit, he gets cranky without having some action.Founder of the Fanclub of the (Late) Chief of Cliffport Police Department (He shall live forever in our hearts)

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
Did Wanda wait on purpose to decrypt Ansom?
It might make him stronger, since she's on full-juice, instead of the low-juice-amount she got from uncroaking the vulcano!
EDIT: I meant to say, did she wait for dawn on puposeLast edited by Lolindir; 2009-04-29 at 05:40 AM.
I'd really love some peace here, thank you!

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
Reread the comic carefully. Pliers are gone from Wanda's hand. While decrypting she's holding them with two hands, then with one and then there's nothing in her hands. Might mean something, might be coincidence.

Crypt: A place for dead people
De-Crypt: take someone back from that place = came back to live?
The most famous case of resurrection was IMHO Lazarus, who was buried in a tomb/cave, which is basically a crypt.
Edit: Ninja'd = time to read all posts + time to write and look for terms Lazarus and crypt.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
As for the suggestions that Wanda could try to rebel against Stanley now, just to offer a bit more evidence in that direction: Stanley's obvious coup against Saline IV would have to have been a breach of Loyalty as well, so it seems likely that the Arkentools offer some sort of resistance to the innate Thinkamancy-like effects of Duty.
EDIT: To the above poster, Wanda can Uncroak on turns other than her own if it's within the city boundaries, so that's unlikely. On the other hand, it's possible that using the Arkenpliers does require that it be GK's turn, but I doubt it.Last edited by Ultimatum479; 2009-04-29 at 06:27 AM.
Work in progress.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
I'm confused, did the pliers go into Ansom?

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
Oh man, imagine sending out Ansom and dwagons to attack someone and also having Wanda along to decrypt anything that gets killed.
You could level up warlords incredibly well that way, take on tough stacks and if your warlord dies then bring him back for the second round with full hp...

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
Decrypted Ansom's feet don't appear to touch the ground in the third-from-last panel. Can he now fly, or is this just a temporary spell effect, like the red glow appears to be? On the one hand, his head is a little above Wanda's in the last panel; but on the other, he might just be that much taller. Any thoughts?
Other than this, all that we can clearly say about his attributes is that he has intelligence - unlike all uncroaked seen so far (unless vamps count), he can speak. Hopefully we'll know more when Parson puts on his specs; in the meantime, Wanda certainly seems to like what she sees.

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
Seems pretty obvious that the three panels that needed to be fixed (cf. Erfworld Facebook page) were a more-uncroaked-looking Ansom. I hope so anyway. Please?

Re: Erfworld 157 - tBfGK 144
The world might be split up into battlespace zones, rather than them being dynamic.
There might even be rules for crossing battlespace boundaries. A unit which enters a battlespace might end up being locked into the hex that it enters, and not allowed to spend any more of its move until its side's turn in that battlespace.
Maybe, when you enter a battlezone, you get assigned the earliest slot available.
Sides with cities in the battlespace would thus tend to be earlier in the day. Thus GK and Transilvito would be earlier than Jetstone, since they always have units in the space.
OTOH, it is implied that barbarians are placed at the start of the turn order automatically.
