I call this game "Settlers of Hell", but that's actually probably giving it too much credit.

And it is a great book - both of them.

Hey, thanks!
5. Thud [Average Rating:6.20 Overall Rank:1897]
Based on the battle of Koom Valley in Tery Pratchett's Discworld series. Also the title of the next book in the series, which I am assuming will also deal with the battle.
