Ah, saw the updates in the alerts but the word count matches normal commentary so I thought it wasn't an actual update, my bad.
This plan works.
Next turn we can mine the quarry, build the shooting grounds so we can recruit some riflemen in the future and prep for building the blacksmith which is when the fun really begins.

ya up until turn 5 here is going to be short and fast updates to get the base up and running (turn 5 and on I'm going to be rolling to see if the undead send an attack force, the longer you go without one the stronger the next one they send gets PLUS the chance they send one on a later turn increases for every turn you go without one.)
and ya lots of stuff to build and train once the blacksmith is up and running
just don't forget if you run out of food your troops will start to starve.
"Well the town halls and barracks are up, I intend to have a quarry and a hunting camps built next while 2 more of my peasants gather some lumber. I also intend to send out a scouting party to the northwest. What about you Jaina?" Arthas asked.
"I intend to do the same, except that I intend to send my scouting party to the southeast instead."
"I see, that's probably a good idea, best to get as much information as possible on our immediate surroundings swiftly so we know whether or not enemies are nearby."

"Lady Jaina! Captain Marwyn has once again come up with a massively better design than the original version! This time he altered the hunting camps, he figured out a way to more efficiently and cheaply build a better hunting camp though it takes a bit longer to build. He also improved the smokeracks and figured out how to teach future hunters how to skin more efficiently in a much swifter way. This will greatly improve food and leather production in the future ma'am, he also told your peasants how to do everything as well and they are making your hunting camp with his design." A messenger told Jaina in a frenzy.
"Well! Tell the Captain that this is amazing work and thank him for his aid. Now we just need to continue setting up our base while waiting for the scouting parties to get back." Jaina stated smiling.
Current Resources will be added to new turns from now on for ease of voting
Turn ends here
OK guys, got you your results for turn 2... bloody lucky rolls twice with Captain Marwyn... Because of that I am boosting his Admin score to 26 instead of 21... just because those were some AMAZING rolls on his part.
if he keeps this up and I get an omake for him I might make him into a mini-hero. Basically the same as he is now but with Hero stats no extra abilities or war stat increases.
so scouting results next and now we are actually playong warcraft 3 . Brings back some memories , dear god how i didnt like the arthas at all and felt so good about seeing him turn evil and be right about a char ,

no it takes 12 hours to scout (I forgot to add costs to it before I posted) so results will be up next turn.
I am assuming World of warcraft scaling is only 1/20 of normal size at its largest and 1/50 at its smallest, with warcraft 3 scaling non-existent. For example, i consider Stormwind city (any version) to be a 50th of the actual size if it was real life scale given how many people are supposed to live there. Also I consider the barren Tundra in DragonBlight, Northrend to be only a 20th of the actual size and breadth because you supposedly can go days and even weeks of walking without encountering anything or anyone. just to give you an idea of the scale I am considering here.
I basically consider where you are at now, the region around Andorhal to be about twice the size of a world of warcraft region like westfall for example. Therefore to travel from one end of it to another by walking or marching it takes a several days (less than a week though.)
ah i can add x's into them for you if thats the case... but a town hall doesn't give you Pop. the only way to get more people/pop is by finding and saving them. you currently have just barely enough for this mission if you are thrifty with it.
I am abit confused cause it says we have 71 free population that sounds pretty decent, if thats true then our issue is resource limit for now and army recruitment running into it.
also assign some people to hunting now aswell since we have food upkeep costs.
Maybe a warehouse type building instead of having to build more town halls for resource limits?

sadly you have to actually build more huts for hunting, however training isn't as big a problem as you might think.
you can train more than 1 troop at a time, however to train new troops you need to commit at minimum one of your captains to training them... and for the most basic kind of troops the recruit level footmen (which are weaker than any of the footmen you have used so far) take 24 hours, or 4 turns to train with a level 1 training grounds... during which the person training them can do nothing but train them. Also to train higher levels of footmen like regulars you need level 3 training grounds.
There are a few factors that determine how many troops you can train at the same time though, 1) How well the trainer knows the combat style of the trainees. 2) how experienced the trainer is and training others. and finally 3) a weird combination of diplo/combat/tactics that takes the average of the three and then uses that to determine how many troops you can train.
Also higher leveled training grounds train troops faster, for example a level 2 training grounds cuts off 6 hours of training from recruit level troops, while a level 3 training grounds cuts off 12 hours from recruit troops. (the 6 and the three don't add together they are just total numbers.)
none, Villagers do your food production for you, they are directly assigned to do it when you build a camp or other food production building. As for converting peasants into troops? You can't, peasants are basically a troop in their own right and can turn into militia temporarily if needed, but they can't become footmen or something like that.
but ya like i said in the update each level 2 camp gives you 4 food and 3 leather every day that passes thats every 4 turns atm.
Current population: 69 current unused population, 2 hunters.

If you scout in the same direction as Arthas, troops scout further and more thoroughly, plus if there is a split in the path each party goes in a different direction.
Scouts may be attacked by whatever they find, also mixed parties have highest survival chance if something really bad happens.

As they look over the newly completed Quarry and hunting camp Arthas asks Jaina. "So, with this we have the beginnings of a proper base. While we wait for the scouts to return with their reports of the immediate surrounding area, I intend to start my peasants on breaking in that quarry, Alongside it I'm going to build a shooting range so I can start training riflemen once I have the guns for it. Finally I think a barracks upgrade is in order so my troops have somewhere to sleep once I recruit them. What's your plan going forward?"
"ah, well my plan is to..."
Go ahead and Vote.. though see above actions to do so please
just putting it out there as well, while early on there was really nothing you could do different from Arthas from here on out your actions will have more and more reason to be different.
for example, this turn he is making a shooting range to train additional troops as well as upgrading his barracks, You however have troops that are VERY gold heavy and it might be a better idea to instead mine some gold with some of your peasants instead to mitigate that cost... just food for thought.
[x] Plan Covering bases
-[] Build Hunting camp lvl 2 x2
-[] Quarry Stone x2
-[] Mine Gold
This will continue to build up our food production which we need to manage to stay ahead of our daily consumption.
Meanwhile we will be able to mine enough stone to afford building a Blacksmith next turn which will allow us to start producing Peasant equipment so we can increase our workforce.

ok so I am noting a distinct lack of interest in this quest... so i'm letting you guys decide if i switch it up a bit.
see the poll to decide, I will continue this quest in the meantime, rest assured if starcraft does win I fully intend to come back to this quest after a few months of getting better as a writer, most likely with a reboot, and proper mechanics.
Not really lack of interest more of I got no fucking clue what these numbers mean I usually just let stats and building shizz past by unless its a tie and then i roll dice to vote. I'm more into the litreture aspect of the quest

ya but the thing is this quest is pretty much just 4 people doing anything close to consistent voting... and honestly? I need more than that to feel like its worth my own time to continue the quest.
