Well if the whole match was lines of vigor and revocation then you probably misread the amount of damage I said they did. I purposefully made them do very little damage to encourage using chalklings. As for the defensive chalklings I assumed people would act like they were
zombie ai I will have to add a clarification for that. And finally you said you wanted to use lines of vigor while directing chalklings. I didn't put this in the rules (I need to) when I play it with my friends we use a pen in each hand non dominant for lines of vigor and the dominant for chalklings. This isn't required and its difficult but it was the only way we could think of so that your opponent would be able to see what he needs to defend against. I don't think I'm being clear here, I made it so that you had to draw your lines of vigor and the dotted lines for chalklings so that both players could see what was happening and didn't have to keep everything in their head. Also on a side note I added this recently, it is now possible to give a group of chalklings the same directions and draw one dotted line for all of them.
