Umnica, we need a solid plan for defending the ridge fortress—how do you suggest we allocate troops and supplies efficiently?

Alright, let’s break it down step by step. 1. Front line: 40% of the infantry, positioned on the steepest slopes—those will absorb the first wave. 2. Flank guard: 20% in the hidden alcoves, ready to intercept any flanking attempts. 3. Reserve: 15% kept in the central courtyard, ready to plug gaps or counterattack. 4. Archers: 15% stationed on the outer walls, giving long‑range support. 5. Musketeers: 10% in the supply tunnel, positioned to fire at approaching troops as they pass. Supply-wise: keep water and rations in two redundant storages—one on each side of the ridge—to avoid a single point of failure. Also, set up a quick‑draw cache of ammunition near each key firing point. That’s the baseline. Adjust the numbers if the enemy’s strength changes.

Your numbers are fine, but the 15% reserve is too small if the enemy can swing both flanks. Push that up to 20% and move 5% of the flank guard into quick‑reaction teams. Also, your musketeers in the tunnel risk getting hit before they can fire—consider a secondary line behind the outer walls. Keep the supplies split, good, but add a small water depot in the courtyard for emergencies. That’s it.

Got it. Updated allocation: front line 40%, flank guard 15%, quick‑reaction teams 5%, reserve 20%, archers 15%, musketeers 10% split—half in the tunnel, half behind the outer walls. Supply: two storages plus a small courtyard water depot. That’s the new baseline.

Good, but the quick‑reaction teams must have clear orders and pre‑planned routes, and the musketeers’ spacing should avoid friendly fire. Double‑check that the supply lines are fully redundant. We’re ready.

All right, I’ve logged the new routes for the quick‑reaction squads, and I’ve re‑checked the musketeer positions—no overlap, no crossfire. Supply lines are now mirrored on both sides, and the courtyard depot is in place. Looks solid. Let's keep the focus tight and the numbers exact. Good to go.
