Gate Vikings
How do you prevent the Gate Vikings from showing up, plundering the treasury and then gating back to their home in the ice and snow?
My fix is to make Create Gate a day long ritual that passersby can object to. https://www.hcobb.com/tft/house_rules.html#Gates

Re: Gate Vikings
I've only introduced a single NPC capable of creating a gate. He wasn't in it for the raiding---at least not yet.
How many gate-creating wizards do you reckon are in your part of Cidri? It's only IQ 15, but that's still a pretty high IQ. |

Once created, the Vikings come through, either to a room in an inn (not too convenient, but pretty good surprise attack) or a little ways outside of town. A barn is another good option. It's large and if you can either bribe or quietly get rid of the owner, it's private enough. I'm not saying the enchantment vision for Create Gate is bad, but it doesn't do much to prevent Gate Vikings. In fact, you've made it a bit easier in one respect. The wizard doesn't need apprentices at all, so there's only one person required to create the gate (although it takes two days). Pretty hard to notice one stranger come to town and keep to himself for a couple of days. |
