Operation Ruin
The crawlers' multi-front assault, opening with god-baiting, a bomb run on the orc castle, and a volcano beneath it.
Story so far
The operation opens with more notifications than Carl can process. Only two engagements are hand-to-hand — Florin against The Orcs and Tipid holding FUPA against the Dream assault — while The Reavers and The Viceroys hold their armies back to defend their strongholds. Missile support runs from Shanty Town over batteries at Area 52, with more than 1,500 missiles ready. Above it all, Meatus and Harpocrates brawl across the map, exactly the distraction Mordecai predicted, with the strict order that Donut keep her PA silent.
In the north, Party Planner makes its bomb run and cracks the shields over The King's Point, then clears the air for the Semeru Dwarves to drop agitators into the mountain's lava tubes. In the south, the gods knock the Dream castle's shields down and its elves start fleeing, so Rosetta hands that campaign to Donut while the south digger waits just below the surface. Then the orcs' last-minute emergency shield over the mountain traps the pressure, and the mountain blows with the airship far too close.
Role
