One day a bunch of blue pikmins that were ordered around by a chef and this guy named Drake decided to tell it to those jerks that were near the Submerged Castle. “Let’s pound those guys faces in!” said one invading blue pikmin to another as it swam towards the enemy base. “Yeah! Next time, they might think twice before just not provoking anyone into attacking them!” “Tell it like it is, man.”
Behind them, the Mecha Bloyster was making its way closer to the base so that it could fire its lasers at the enemy. Finally, it stopped, and fired a laser. Well, tried to anyway. It seemed that lasers had never been researched, and so couldn’t be used. Back at the Freedom Fighters base, some troops noticed the attacking force. Some Mini Mutas were sent to the edge of their base, facing the sea, and started throwing rocks at the enemies below. The helpless Mecha Bloyster was destroyed quickly, as it was only armored with two water pebbles. Then, the Mini Mutas rained rocks at the helpless blue pikmins below.
“See? We’re just trying to kill these guys, and they start throwing rocks at us! This is one of those reasons of why they need to die.” Said the blue pikmin from before. Right after he said that, his head was cracked open by a Mini-Muta.
Then, Combat Pikrons were sent to stay in the shallow waters to wait for the Blue Pikmin to reach them. However, the blue pikmin had already started heading in the other direction, to escape. They shot with their Clay Guns as they swam away, so a few Combat Pikrons got hit. Most of them didn't, as they had Iron shields.
Finally, the Blue Pikmin got out of the Mini-Mutas range. The Combat Pikrons, seeing this, flew, to the Mini-Mutas, and put three Mini-Mutas and 1 Healer on each of their backs.
So they had four units on their back.
FOUR
I mean, really. Four. Then, they tried flying the Mini-Mutas to the Blue Pikmin, with four guys on their back. But, the load was so heavy, that they could not stay in the air for even ten seconds. So, by the time the Combat Pikrons flying in the front got over the water, they fell into the water, and the Combat Pikron and it's passengers fell into the water.
~THEIR BODIES HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND TO THIS DAY~
The Combat Pikrons that had not taken flight yet saw this, and decided not to take off. So the Blue Pikmin were in the clear now.

Well, the clay guns seem like they should do more damage, but whatever. Well written I'd say, but it lacked detail on the attacking force's part.

Well, it would be pretty hard to aim while staying afloat, and they would need to get past the Pikrons sheilds.
You're right about more detail though.
I think I might have to raise the Pikron casualties by a little, but I'm not sure...

Well, I would say that could have gone better for norb. But, at any rate, it was a small force.

Personally, I think the Mecha Bloyster should have just sustained damage and then retreated to be repaired in a project, rather than getting blown up on the spot, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for getting this done, it's gone on for too long.

I thought he was massively outnumbered, because he attacked before my new base was finished, and therefore when all my guys were at home. Well, this is done, but I must express my suprise on my low casualties. Even with my ratio of troop numbers to his, I don't think this is quite possible. As long as it seems reasonable, maybe you could slightly bring it up. Also, can clay guns fire effectively through water? Even blowguns are hard to use underwater. I think I saw something like that on Mythbusters, and it seems like you blow lots of water through the pipe when you try to do so, and the dart goes too slow to hurt. Finally, a sincere thanks for doing the battle. This battle has waited a month.

I have a problem with this battle. You're using the Petrosian's current log.
This battle took place 25 real days ago. As a result, Petrosian has much more troops then my plans accounted for.

This is a huuuge problem here. Remember, use the log on the day of the attack. No wonder their troops got pulverized.

That's weird, since I specifically sent Water Dumple my troop numbers. However, he probably used the old troop numbers. Notice that the Antennae Beetles which I recruited after the battle are not included in there. Do you think I would leave over 100 Antennae Beetles idle?

Actually, I sent Kaka the exact PMs you two sent me, which included your troop numbers. I don't know how this came up...

Uh... Yeah, a 25 difference is huge. This battle will probably have to be rewritten, or at the very least have the casualties redone.

Yeah it's... 5000 troops Wait what? Alright I got his new numbers
Ordinary Troops: -200 Healers (Maroon Pikmin that heals troops at a moderate speed both in and out of battle. The more healing a unit, the faster it recovers. Cannot fight and relatively weak.) -800 Mini-Mutas (Miniature Mamutas that throw stones)(Armed with bomb-rocks)
Subtotal: 1000
Special Troops: -40 Combat Pikrons (Pikrons are distant cousins of Pikmin, but much more agile, tougher, stronger and larger. They also can't be planted. Instead of leaves on their head, they have a Glowcap, which glows red when they get angry and blue when they are surprised. All Pikrons are sand-colored. They come from the deserts and have no Onions. This kind is great at close combat but bad at shooting or throwing, dodges well and can fly for about 10 seconds, a bit higher than a wall. Most Pikrons share this "flying" ability, but they can't attack while flying.)(Armed with iron swords and shields that are 30 days each and take one resource each.)(Now can attack while flying because of 50 day project.)
Subtotal: 40
Total:1020
Petro was outnumbered by 100 troops.

The attack started on the 29th of December, and this is Petro's log for the 31th. The Pikron description was that it can fly for 10 seconds. That is definitely not enough to fly out to the water, attack, and fly back.

He would have the Iron Swords, however, he wouldn't have their replacements, the Superior Swords. How that makes a difference I'm not sure, really.
