### E.4.6: Summon wild men [1332]

      Usage:  USE 1332
              MAKE 98 1
      Time:   one day
      Time to learn: 28 days.
      Time to use: 1 day.

Wild men, or savages, inhabit remote parts of the world. Savages communicate by beating their drums to indicate calls-to-arms, battle challenges, or victory celebrations.

Use of 1332 will attempt to summon wild men with drumbeats, and persuade them to stack with the noble. Savages will remain with the noble for 3 months, during which time they will participate in any battles the noble fights.

To summon wild men, the noble must first use the MAKE 98 1 order to produce a drum [98]. A drum requires 1 mallorn wood [70] to produce. MAKE 98 1 requires knowledge of 1332.

The drum may be used to summon wild men with the USE 1332 order. The noble should be in a remote province, preferably surrounded by areas uninhabited by other characters. The noble should allow time for the savage men to hear and follow the drumbeats. Any wild men summoned to the province will stack with the noble.

For example:

make 98 1 # make a drum use 1332 # use the drum to summon the savages wait time 15 # give savages time to arrive and # stack with us

The number of savage units in the world is limited. If all of the available savages have already been summoned, none will come when the drum is used.

At most three savage units will stack with a noble. If a noble attempts to summone more savages while already stacked with three savage units, the summoning will fail.
