You could literally purchase a principality with that much money. An actual tiny country.

Because it would be buying books Mathilde can't read with enough silver to cover Sirland's intrigue expenses for 2 years. That is ludicrous

we only have these barrel loads because of the thing which you call a mindboggling expenditure of money, reinvesting a small percentage of that back into trashy novels seems okay.
If I understand our income correctly, we should be making:
+35 gc/turn from our estate
+50 gc/turn from the gong farmers
+78 gc/turn from our salary
= +163 gc/turn
-10% college ranald (16 gc/turn)*
=147 gc/turn
-100 gc/tower room/turn
=47 gc/turn
Does this look about right, or am I forgetting something major?
*I think the combined rate for college/ranald was 10%, but it might have been 15%.

No we wouldn't? WE already got in this turn's book buying, it just happened during the turn itself. This time we actually got an advantage that we normally wouldn't by being able to buy in the turn itself and now we're going to do another round buying within the same Turn/Result pair, so we are essentially at the moment getting two chances to buy books. If, if the book purchasing vote were wiped out in this Result round, then we wouldn't have lost out on anything and would resume our normal buying on next turn's Result.

it was 5%
and we might opt to dig down, which would be cheaper.

We could purchase the title. Of a border prince nation. We can literally just go there and declare ourselves prince/princess. Like, it means nothing.

Yes, and this book buying round now is essentially next turns book buying, done before the action block is revealed. So that we can't buy a big fat stack of books relevant to every action we're going to take because we know ahead of time exactly down to the T what we're going to do. The intent is to move fog of war over the book buying choice so it's more meaningful.

He is very much alive. He took part in the aftermath of the failure of the skaven Red Pox plan in Brettonia, and the conflict started in 1813.
Much like his master, Lord Morskittar, he is an accomplished sorcerer who has unnaturally expanded his lifespan to centuries.
They don't call them Warlock-Engineers for nothing.

A suggestion for future book buying: Fencing/Sword Fighting. Germany has a pretty well developed tradition (though the inital books were aimed at people who already knew the basics, and often more as a memory aid), starting with Liechtenauer for Longsword and Leckküchner for the Langes Messer (one handed sword).
And if you want great swords, there's some italien (and maybe spanish/portuguese? Not sure on that actually) sources for the Montante. Interestingly, a lot of those techniques are intended for bodyguards.
So, why sword books? Because we'll want to finish the advanced greatsword skill, and boosting the training roll would be nice. Especially if we want to then aim for the swording trait, which Boney has said we can get if we keep at it.

In the Borderlands?If Mathilde bought 20 tiny countries, would it become one medium sized country?
No it would be 20 juicy targets for the nearest Greenskins, in a geographic position bad enough that no Dawi would try to hold them.
Yes, people, I am properly wow'ed by Ikit's lifespan, you can stop quoting me now.
No. We have those money because we got an incredible roll on a Casino Ranald action. If you desire to reinvest, reinvest into EIC or K8P. My personal favourite would be Undumgi sector.

Sounds about right.If Mathilde bought 20 tiny countries, would it become one medium sized country?
Just buy out the greenskins, they can't be sitting on more than a country or two.
Those justifications are pretty shaky. We're nowhere close to high magic, and no Amber mages are doing research around here. (Allowing them to give a bonus to 'anything involving Amber magic' would be incredibly OP.)
Johann specifically promised that he won't work with warp stone.
We don't need a "cover". Grey wizards are well known for knowing all sorts of shit they should have no way of knowing. If anyone asks, smile mysteriously.
So what? A book on "dwarven civilization"... exactly what rolls do you think that would even boost? Being such an insanely broad topic, you're not going to get anything but generalities.
Doubtful it will be of any use.

I mean I still don't see anything wrong with it, it's not like we're planning to create a Tower made of Pounded it the Butt and other assorted romance novels.
Sure a bit excessive but Mathilde is allowed to indulge herself once or twice imo.

The current Library cote count is 50 votes for no purchase, 50 votes for romanceless purchase, and 42 for romance purchase. If any romance voters want books at all, you should change your vote. Likewise, if you're approval voting between the two you should change.
You could buy a Tower for the amount of money that was being spent on those romance novels.
Mathilde is a Grey Wizard. She's very much not supposed to create a commercial empire (or go fishing as the Bursar would likely put it).

An indulgence is buying a shelf or two of them.
Spending an entire year's worth of the budget of the Stirland intelligence organization is more than an indulgence. Doing it multiple times over is just crazy.

Well, I mean, just this vote we're getting a lot of people unsure of what is or isn't grudgeworthy. Seems like the sort of cultural context Mathilde should try to look into, given she's an advisor on a dwarf kings council.

Not that she's likely to win at this point, but the Questing Knight should be using a greatsword. If there aren't hard feelings about the leader selection we might be able to spar with her.

He specifically said he'd try to see if he can adapt their technology to work without warpstone. A book on the stuff would almost certainly be relevant.
It's always better spycraft to have a story prepared, even if you won't need to use it.
