Talk:Exalted: Silence

Military Strategy

• The city is well-fortified against mortal soldiers, so a direct attack will involve mass and momentum, along with skyships and warstriders An attempt on the city is going to be based on overwhelming the defenses with raw force.
• The alternative is a commando raid of their own. Only some PCs have surprise awareness charms.

Commando Raiding the Fort

• The Objective: To damage and disrupt the Shogunate's fighting power in the region

• Highest priority is their magitech force multipliers - artillery, airships, power armour
• We take over one of the big airships and turn its guns on the fort if we want to destroy it, that's the quickest way to do so. Preferable the flagship.
• I disagree. The greatest threats are the enemy Solars. I suggest infiltrating the camp in disguise and making sure they get sent off on a wild goose chase - either somewhere they won't get in the way, or, preferably, into an ambush where we can jump them. --Rask 14:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

• Alternate Objective: take over the army for ourselves. Tentative plan as follows.

• Remove enemy Solars from premises through deception or distraction.
• Spread rumours conductive to our plan in the camp, while working under disguise.
• Make it taboo to point out that god-king Cal is actually the enemy.
• Use emotion-affecting Charms to make army susceptible to the next part of plan.
• Cal shows up and explains to the troops why they should respect and worship him. Liberal use of brainwashing Charms is advised.--Rask 14:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
