Seriously. Like if people want to dish out for a weapon, it makes no mechanical sense to not put out atleast as much favor as we spent on our belt, when we're litterally SURROUNDED with more chances to get Dwarf Favor. We can literally take an action next turn to Scout 8 Peaks and probably get a good 2-4 Favor from that depending on the intel we bring back. Holding back and saying we need Favor for Instructors and for our Tower is ridiculous when we're probably going to focus on our research backlog first of all, and our Tower can be upgraded piece by piece.
Um yeah? Best way to predict the future is look at the past. We already have a lot of sweet stuff, and it hasn't caused any problems, so based on that I think that sweet stuff doesn't cause problems. (Or, because I don't want to be misunderstood, not anywhere near as much as some people are afraid. At some point it might come up, but even then it won't be just gone. It certainly causes less than it solves.)
It's already been said, but for easier magic we'd want college or elf. Maybe if we want a magical dead zone, but that's for storage, not research.
For easier and more powerful Ulgu casting, we want elf.
Yes. Because we're respected enough for them to do so. If we spend 20 Favor on a item we're going to get that Item. BoneyM isn't going to be a asshole and go 'Nah the new super shiny you just cashed in favors for is hidden behind a
I kind of doubt that. Dwarf know very little about the winds, we know nothing about runes. Our styles just don't really intersect. You wouldn't ask a astronomer to built you a particle accelerator. Even if they study the same fundamental system, they do it radically different ways, and different perspectives, and most importantly, different tools.
I find this argument a bit.. hmm. If we take it as "spend favor to get something" there is very little to no difference between getting a weapon now and getting an upgrade later, and getting a lab now and getting an upgrade later, besides the fact its a lab and/or a weapon.
They definitely know something about the winds. Kragg waxed poetic for a bit when he was preparing to unleash hell on the Orcs attacking our forces outside of Karag Nar.
But the tower is something we can upgrade over time. I want a big weapon purchase to commemorate the victory; I see a tower as something that is more representative of us gradually putting down roots in the area as we become more and more invested in the hold's success, if that makes sense.
It's a different weapon that will do different things(rule of pride and all that) and may well be made by completely different runesmith, so I fail to see how its replicated effort.
Because it wont be 5 + 5 = a weapon in our hands worth 10. It would be two weapons worth 5 each.
Most of those combos are apparently less that 100 points (which would roughly be 10 favours on an axe).
Well, there's the fact that we've never received Dwarf Favour for scouting actions.
I think this entire idea is ridiculous.
The worth of one weapon has no bearing on the other. They'll do different things and must thus be treated and used most effectively in different ways for one and for two they are likely to come after the span of years given how threats have been escalating.
Your right, my mistake, but in that case we can just hook up with the Karak Azul Throng and take An Enthusiastic Walk next turn for favor instead of scouting.
Well, except we can skip right ahead to the part where we've got the goodest sword, and not spend another good sword's worth of favors on something we plan to part with in the future. It doesn't make economic sense.
