Your math is way of ... With groups you j...100 kms? Your math is way of ... With groups you just add the meters per individual before you multiply (I have to admit, it's in the fine print, under 5). Which means your 60 1 HD goblins (a 4 HD chief would add 16 meters to that, 10 tough with 2 HD each would add another 40 meters, etc.) would need a 120 meter radius or 31.416 square meters (which is roughly the size of The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.),assuming that it's spring or summer and they live in an area enough resources to survive (like a forest). They won't be far from their caves, but they don't need to be.<br /><br />Make that a mountain in winter and you got a totally different animal, with the goblins covering 1.628.601 square meters (roughly 1,5 sq km, original estimation 120 meters, times 3 for being in winter and times 2 for being in mountains, which ends up being 720 m radius or an area of (720 x 720) x Pi sq m). This would be when they come out of the mountains to raid villages ...<br /><br />I know it's rough, but it should work to get some data to work with.Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-56225694737869373762015-01-02T01:15:32.130+01:002015-01-02T01:15:32.130+01:00Very interesting - thanks for pointing this out Je...Very interesting - thanks for pointing this out Jens!<br /><br />I very much like the idea of using HD as a handy guide to territory. But some things might get out of hand. At the moment, a Goblin tribe of 60x1HD (plus a few higher-ups as bodyguards and King) should control a territory ... more than 100km across? That might do for an area that the Goblins could raid, maybe rather than control directly. But the idea I think is sound if you can find some kind of conversion factor.<br /><br />Red Orchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015582577046093985noreply@blogger.com
