| Sep 7, 2016 at 23:22 | comment | added | Otto Abnormalverbraucher | The beheading is a different matter and occurs on a different part of the story. One that leads to the invasion but during the invasion itself, no disfigurement is even described as it is just the setting but not the actual main plot. The important part is that the strategy works to get into a large scale battle in the city. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 23:16 | comment | added | Otto Abnormalverbraucher | The trolls actually aren't technically advanced. They're quite dumb and their culture is more tribalistic than anything else. In no way, they're able to develop balloon suits, gliders or any technical means of flying or landing safely. If it weren't for the dwarven blueprints they wouldn't even have ballistas to shoot themselves. And please, don't mix up brain regrowth with their catapult strategy. They are aware some don't make it on the other side, as the US army was aware "some" wouldn't make the normandy invasion. The catapulting is more connected to broken bones, inner bleedings and such. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 20:32 | comment | added | urbanite | How about the rule applied to zombies: kill the brain, kill the troll. And to address the problem of the catapult strategy, they can do something like what NASA did with the Mars rovers and the trolls can wear a balloon suit of sorts, or maybe just a very cushiony suit, which they'll shed after they are on the other side of the wall. Or wear helmets. Brain regeneration just seems to go too far... | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 19:57 | comment | added | Otto Abnormalverbraucher | Well ... they won't get decapitated upon impact, so I don't see any problem with memory loss in that situation ;) It's perfectly fine if they "wake up" barely knowing what's going on but with few, most basic memories they could realize the "head trauma" and at least try to figure why it occurred. | |
