Wildling Attacks

Wildling attacks are a major concern for us. We cannot underestimate the danger they pose. These raids not only threaten our safety but also disrupt our livelihoods.

You might wonder, why are wildlings so hostile? They are a nomadic group that lives beyond the Wall. Cut off from civilization, they have developed a different way of life. They survive by raiding and looting settlements like ours.

So, what can we do to protect ourselves? First, we need to understand their tactics. Wildlings are known for their hit-and-run strategies. They strike quickly and disappear into the wilderness, making it challenging to track them down.

To effectively defend against wildling attacks, we must be prepared. Building strong fortifications and training our guards to be vigilant are essential. Additionally, we should establish a network of scouts to keep an eye on the movements of wildling groups.

While it’s crucial to fortify our defenses, we should also consider diplomacy. Engaging in peaceful negotiations with wildlings can be beneficial. By understanding their grievances and finding common ground, we may be able to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Furthermore, it’s important to remember that not all wildlings are hostile. Some are simply seeking refuge or a better life. By offering assistance and support, we can play a role in mitigating tensions between our communities.

The threat of wildling attacks is a complex issue. It requires a multifaceted approach that balances defense with diplomacy. Together, we can find a way to coexist peacefully and ensure the safety of our lands.

In the freezing north, a horde of wild and savage nomads gather to invade the land of Westeros. To protect against these threats (which are far more dangerous than they seem), there is a noble group called the Night’s Watch. Their duty is to defend the massive Wall. However, for the Night’s Watch to succeed, they need the support of the powerful Houses.

In the board game A Game of Thrones, there are two events known as the Wildling Threat and the Wildling Attack that happen during the Westeros Phase. These events lead to attacks by the wildlings.

The Wildling Threat occurs when the Wildling Threat token on the Wildling track reaches “12”. This means that the wildlings are becoming a significant danger.

The second event is when a “Wildling Attack” Westeros card is drawn and acted upon. This card triggers a full-scale attack by the wildlings.

It’s crucial for the players to align themselves with the Night’s Watch and assist in repelling the wildling threat. The fate of Westeros depends on it.

In all three decks of Westeros cards (I, II, and III), there are some cards that have a Wildling symbol on them. When each of these Westeros cards is revealed, the Wildling Threat token moves forward one space on the Wildlings track. This means that the Wildling Threat token can move up to three times during one Westeros Phase.

When a wildling attack happens, it goes through the following steps:

1. Determine the strength of the Wildlings.

2. Bid power to influence the outcome.

3. Calculate the strength of the Night’s Watch.

4. Determine the outcome of the attack.

5. Adjust the Wildlings track accordingly.

6. Discard power used during the attack.

Now, let’s talk about the consequences of a wildling attack once the outcome has been determined. The players will have to face the results of their success or failure. Here’s what happens:

1. Reveal the top card of the Wildling deck.

So, here’s the deal: in A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, when there’s a tie in bidding, the person who holds the Iron Throne token gets to break it. Let me give you an example. Let’s say two players have the same lowest bid. Well, in that case, the person with the Iron Throne token gets to decide who the actual lowest bidder is. Pretty cool, right?

Alright, the wildling attack has wrapped up, and now we can get back to the game.

Just a heads up: it’s very rare, but sometimes the wildlings can attack twice in a row during the Westeros Phase. How does that happen? Well, if the Wildling token makes it all the way to the “12” position on the Wildling track, and the Westeros card “Wildlings Attack” comes up, they strike again. Talk about bad luck!
