And the comment about if Uroxi could count higher than two, they'd use even more weapons, LOL!
Lastly, evil MGF idea from spouse. Duck Point was
never successful (even in previous attempts, EWF,
frex), because the site is anciently
blessed/cursed/affiliated with Ratslaff, God of
Disorder. Could even explain the fractiousness of the
local ducks.
Lunars will just hate to see a good set of walls going to waste. Some Lunar sod is left in charge, and realizes very soon that hoplites are useless in a swamp. Said commander will beg for appropriate light troops/bargees every year, but every year the memo goes astray (as do others), and the wrong troops get sent. Performance review time is the stuff of nightmares, and every effort to come with even a small success to offset the major and minor calamities goes awry.
Relations with the locals stay lousy (well, no surprise when oppressing ducks is part of the raison d'etre anyway). Meanwhile, as the Lunars attempt to correct bureaucratic bungling with more bureaucrats, the whole situation gets wildly out of hand.
That fiasco where the Lunars got trashed by a dragon under the Old Wind Temple? Well, it started when a Duck Point officer mentions a small old Wind temple nearby, that shouldn't someone take care of? By the time it got to HQ, someone thought it meant the Old Wind Temple...
