David Lloyd Owen Foreword. Sting of the Scorpion is the exclusive, authorised, inside story of the tough LRDG raiders of the Second World War, drawn from the unpublished records of the famous force. The unit won The Sting of the Scorpion mastery of the North African desert in their wide-ranging and heavily armed trucks, earning grudging praise even from Rommel, the Desert Fox himself, for their skilful reconnaissance, punishing raids and powers of evasion.

The Sting of the Scorpion - Wikipedia

Rumors described Sumanguru as a cruel tyrant and a sorcerer in command of powerful spirits. He was The Sting of the Scorpion to possess a magical balophon [sic] which would grant him victory if he played it. He could not be injured The Sting of the Scorpion with the spur of a rooster. The whispers abounded. Regardless of the rumors, he was above all an ambitious conqueror from the west seeking to seize the lands of the old empire of Ghana for his own. To this end, he moved his seat of power to Koumbi Saleh, once the capital and heart of that ancient kingdom. Sundjata knew The Sting of the Scorpion contesting such a man would be difficult. The Sosso had allied with other tribes in the north: the Jolof, the Diafanu, and others like them who made great gains from Sosso control of the Saharan trade. With such powerful allies, and even more powerful armies, no one dared to rise up against them. Sundjata had one advantage: he was still remembered as the crippled prince of the Mandinkas, still thought to be weaker than he really was. As long as this was to be believed, the Sosso would dismiss him as inconsequential, and he could form his own alliances. To provide proof of his miraculous transformation from crippled boy to The Sting of the Scorpion prince, he took up the Boabab [sic] branch from his youth and began a journey. From people to people and kingdom to kingdom, he traveled to rally support — to prove he was strong enough to retake his lands from Sumanguru. Sundjata starts with a small base in the south of the map in the Feudal Age, while two of his enemies are already in the Castle Age. He possesses a Relic Cart which has to be brought to the enemy bases in order for them to submit. The player is restricted to the Castle Age, the population limit The Sting of the Scorpion Near the base, further gold can be found to the north and the west, as well as stone to the north. More resources are found near allied bases, but they are difficult to defend. The map is dominated by a massive mountain range stretching from west to east, with only two passes leading north. The passes are protected by inaccessible Labe Towers on cliffs, impeding operations in the north. Sundjata's goal in this scenario is to subjugate the 3 enemy tribes of Sangaran, Labe and Niger, by bringing a Relic Cart his baobab stick to their flagged plazas, demonstrating his power. Once the Relic Cart reaches the plaza of one of the enemies, they will delete all their remaining units and buildings and resign, so it is not necessary to fully level their bases. It is important to have the Relic Cart always The Sting of the Scorpion by units, as otherwise it can fall into enemy hands. When the cart is captured by an enemy it simply stops moving, but all enemies surrounding it have to be killed in order to retrieve it. The cart can also be attacked by enemies and has only 75 hitpoints, so it is important to keep it out of the fray or draw enemy fire with more resilient units like Knights or Long Swordsmen. It is imperative to be prepared for early and numerous attacks by Sangaran and Niger, by building Palisade Walls to the north right south of the pass and east and immediately creating some Skirmishers for defense. A few Scout Cavalry to deal with Siege Weapons are also a good idea, but very taxing on the food economy. Unlike the previous scenario, the AI will attack walls so don't expect them to hold off the onslaught forever. The player should build up a productive economy and try reaching the Castle Age to even out the playing field, as the enemies The Sting of the Scorpion have a technology advantage. A good tactic is to get rid of Labe early, while they are still in the Feudal Age and pose not much of a threat, as they become significantly more dangerous once they reach the Castle Age. To do so, the player should try sneaking a few villagers and the Relic Cart, accopanied by some Scout Cavalry to draw fire, past the towers looking over the passes and build The Sting of the Scorpion Stable in Wagadou's base, giving it some grade of protection. Once in the Castle Age the Stable can be used to train knights to knock The Sting of the Scorpion Labe's Palisade Gate and optionally the Towers guarding it. A Siege Workshop and Battering Rams can be helpful with this task, if ample wood surplus is available. With the gate broken the player can group the Knights and the Relic Cart and send them to the flagged plaza while ignoring the Towers firing arrows on the well-armored Knights. Once the Relic Cart reaches the plaza, Labe will delete all their remaining units and buildings, including their Towers, greatly facilitating crossing the mountains, which would allow the player to trade with either Wagadou or Labe but the Trade Carts might still be attacked by remaining enemies. Defending the own base from attacks by Sangaran and Niger while dealing with Labe should not be neglected. Dealing with Sangaran or Niger The Sting of the Scorpion is up to the player's choice. In either case a Castle at the entries to their respective bases can do wonders, provided enough stone has been mined. Like Labe, Niger's plaza can be rushed for with Knights once their Stone Gate is down, but their Mangonels should be taken out beforehand. Knights also fare well against their Cavalry Archers. For Sangaran, their plaza is protected by a castle which should be taken down before attempting to bring in the Relic Cart. Again Knights are a good choice, but are prone to conversion by Monks, so taking the Monks out with ranged units like Mangonels or Skirmishers should be a The Sting of the Scorpion priority. Once the Castle is taken down, the Relic Cart can be brought to the plaza. The two allies in this scenario don't provide significant help against the much stronger enemies, but at least they can divert them a little bit. Sangaran, Labe, Niger, Tabon, and Wagadou. One by one, the kingdoms of the south and the east rallied to Sundjata. They were small, however, and Sumanguru had conquered nine of similar size already. As successful as Sundjata had been, his coalition could not hope to defeat the Sosso just yet. Sundjata needed a better plan. This wiki. This wiki All wikis. Sign In Don't have an account?
