Research Thorns is finally done! I wasn't expecting it to finish this turn, but I'm glad for it.

[X][Squirrel] Lead a search-party along the south path
Winter is coming after 3 turns with its 50% malus on Growth and possible drought. I want to grow as many Special Trees as we can before then, and I prefer the Clever Tree because I think we'll be doing a lot of research this winter.
While I'd like to double down on the Clever Tree for the Focus vote, that isn't likely to win based on past experience. Instead I want to suggest that we go for a Shield Tree for one of the Focuses. We know that an enemy will appear before the end of the year, and growing a Shield Tree instead of raising the shield (as a FOCUS) means that we accumulate the successes and gain an extra success. I also think it's unlikely that we'll reach the next magnitude of the Forest before winter arrives so I'd prefer for our Focus votes to be on growing Special Trees.
As for the squirrels, they have to stay in the trees near the village so I don't know if they can scout out the 19th mind. I do remember a group of minds heading south-east at some point though, and since we've just scouted north-east, why not see where the south path goes?

If you're doubling down on the same action for your Focus votes, you need to change the second Focus vote slightly so that the vote tally will pick up on it. I'd suggest adding "x2" to the end of your second Focus vote to match Alter's Focus vote.
We don't know for sure that an enemy is approaching this turn. If we spend a Focus action on raising the shield and nothing happens, then those 2 automatic successes are wasted. Would you be interested in switching to Grow a Shield Tree instead? That way, we'd get 3 automatic successes instead of 2, and the successes accumulate towards a Tree that will help with defense.

Look, my pal Arthur Scrat thinks it would be a good idea to ride into battle on the antlers of a mighty stag. We should support his ambitions.

Heh, well at least someone got to enjoy those resources, I'm fine with calling that a trade.
Also were all those just unlucky or did something special happen ? If it was just bad luck i'm glad you didn't just say we failed at resource gathering but actually provided a reason why we didn't get anything.

Note to self: Current Plan is to become an elder heart tree, because a survival tree only gets three extra dice while the elder heart gets four extra dice

It's currently Fall for the upcoming update and the two updates after that. We don't really know what the weather is like except that there is NOT a drought.

As @Mount. Elements stated, it is fall. The weather is cooling down, though it isn't likely to frost for another turn or two. Occasional thunderstorms rumble through. A tornado might occur if you're sufficiently unlucky.
Just unlucky.
Also keep in mind that, total, an Elder Heart Tree gets four dice at Survival actions, while a Survival Tree gets five dice.
