@Mad0Slayer how do we make advanced components, you know the one that are needed for the submirsible, I am willing to bet that they will be usefull.
A memo about maths, remember guys if we can realisticaly shorten research from 8 to 3 by building is advisable to not do any research before the structure is made, since we effectivly lose the action.
Also we should expand the brewer's all so we can sell it to the elgi and be paied in gold so that we can finance our warmachine bulding.

It's from the engineering hall but all the setbacks have been rather detrimental there, that just needs an expansion and then you get a lot of upgrades for it one of which is a hall expansion for the components. So you're not far from it but your gonna start expanding quickly considering all of Idun's bonuses just kicked in so extra actions too!. (Plus you are well on the way to self-sufficiency from the more basic resources which mean I gonna be free to switch out that rather heavy mechanic with a simple gold one. Though I still gotta keep the Ale and food and the more specialised things for a bit longer.)

Event Roll: 68: Discoveries
You let out a tired sigh as you fell into a seat after seeing Dromak asleep your home was quiet as you realised that Idun was busy with something in the crafting hall now that her duties were calling, your eyes feeling heavy and your recently recovered leg aching but that was of little issue as it needed the exercise though as you were about to doze off you heard an annoyed grunt to come from behind you,
glancing around you spotted your aunt giving you a disapproving glare her arms crossed. She leaned forward inspecting you before giving a nod, "So, a few words are all I'm good for then, not even a decent hello or thanks before toddling off to have a nap?" You made to speak as she advanced only to shove a tankard into your hands as she spoke over you. "Drink up, you left in such a hurry that I've been looking after everything that Idun had to drop speaking of you can rest later apparently old Thondin has found something and you know how he gets if he has to wait." She said before devolving into muttering as she went about the task of looking you over and then stoaking the fire, "Now come on drink up I'll have something done for everyone once you return.
Nodding you took a gulp and heaved and nearly spat out the horrible concoction, "What kind of grob shite is this?" You glanced into the tankard and turned green at the mixture tasting worse than dried stonebread. Though you would not argue that it woke you up if only from the horrible taste.
Sif seemed to shrug as she frowned, "That, oh I'm trying my hand at brewing again, been a while and ever since I lost my notes from before I married your un-cle and can't seem to get things just right," The stutter of your lost uncle made you wince but she hid it well enough as she continued on. "a bit of a shame as their a rather lacking diversity nowadays since the shift." She stopped as she considered something as she took a seat looking lost, "Do you think… that he considers us dead, I mean it's not uncommon for a small clan like ours to vanish, worse things have happened." You closed your eyes and nodded.
Glancing away from her and to the fire you could not help but reminisce on better times, when the clan was larger and thriving and when you were free to do as you wished, though you supposed that it could not be helped it was just a shame over two-thirds of the clan had not joined you with the shift or those that had been apart of your old hold, shaking your head stood up and put your hand on her shoulder. " They will survive and I'm sure that wherever they are that they are Thriving, especially if they made a new home amongst the Grey dwarfs." Your words seemed to make her nod a bit as she sagged a little.
She glanced at you before waving off and standing up, "Aye I suppose your right, still, you best go and see what Thondin needs and when you get back you can rest on a full belly." Nodding you made sure that you would return soon as you marched quickly as it was best not to dwell on what had really happened to the clan but you hoped they were okay.
***
You found Thondin near the elevator into the depths, the elder barking at the recently arrived Broadbeams who seemed to stumble out of the elevator looking as if they had been pushed to their limit, giving them a nod you moved to the elder who was scowling, "Elder, is their something I can help you with?"
Thondin gave a sharp nod as he waved for you to follow him, "aye, have a bit of a problem and I'm not to sure what were to do about it." He lead you to a secluded spot as he glanced around for any lingering ears, "A couple of the broadbeams, they ended up finding a new vein of gold, damned nice bit of it too problem is it's melded into that silver vein that we recently set up and well, you know the rules by right it belongs to us but the lot of them can't seem to understand that and have started mining it anyway and well, I've stopped the worst of it but I'm afraid you'll have to talk to Thane Grain about it." He said rather forcefully.
You nodded and promised that it would be sorted out quickly while internally you were groaning at that small bit of issue, as you would have to hold off on returning for dinner or at least for a bit, giving out a few orders you ordered that the vein of gold would stopped been mined for now until it was sorted and that you would speak with your fellow Thane soon.
Though as you returned home you could not help but grumble at the fact that despite the good turn of fortune there was an issue but that would be passed and while the years ahead looked promising you hoped it would not be too long.
An heir is Born Interlude coming up (Later): Dromak
Event Options:
The Long Winter
While looking over the letter you could not help but grimace. It seemed Bandobras was still kicking (remarkably long lived for a Hobbit), and new's from the Shire wasn't good. A fire roared nearby to help combat the cold that had already set in with the beginnings of a long winter. While for the hold you knew it would have only been a slight problem, your clan having endured worse in Kislev and on other campaigns with the Zhuffbar throng. Still, that left you with an entirely new issue. How to deal with your allies. Already you had received this years shipment of food from the shire folk. More than enough to fill your stores, and leave room for feasts. But now it seemed there was going to be an issue. What was worse is that not only did the shire have problems, but according to a rather frozen Arathorn who was busy warming himself against the hearth next to you, he and his father were having problems ensuring their own people were fed. While they had stores, they were likely to be on rations for the rest of winter due to a lack of major farms prepared before spring, and only magnified by a (somehow for this group of Umgi) unusually large population boom.
Shaking your head you wondered if you could even spare your food stores, already you had a few years worth of food stored and it would not be too hard to part with it. But it would all but drain what you had in stock, and rely even more heavily on the hobbits to recover in the following spring. There was always gondor to look to, but with Aragost interfering in any future negotiations, it may cost the clan more than it needed to import from the south. Frowning you considered your options as you either helped an ally who seemed to have things under control or the shire folk. Ancestors why did this have to be so hard. If the hold were a little more 'developed', you'd have invited their Garazi and Kvinn to shelter in the warmth and safety of the hold. Of course with the Hobbits that would be a bit of a challenge (their chance of famine being the result of their ogre like appetites and lack of comprehension of '3 meals a day'). Morgrim have mercy you'd almost had a heart attack when Brandrobas told you the latest numbers of the Thanes census last year. But still, sitting down you took a gulp of ale and decided that it would be best to…

Still enjoy guys.

[]Settle Disputes as they come:
The Clan is in a new land but that does not change that your kin is a prickly people and without a level-headed leader are more than likely to fight one another when things get boring. Sadly with the lack of a proper Warriors hall, this is likely to occur quite a lot, but your sure you can keep the peace if you watch over them carefully.

[] Improve relations with Blue mountain dwarfs of southern Buzra-Dum:
A small group of cousin dawi have been found dwelling within the ruins of one your peoples hold. Their clan has slowly dwindled over time, the reasons many and something that must be solved but first you must ensure that ties are established, and wounds healed to ensure that your kin know that they have not been abandoned.
55% chance of success
1 Turn
Send Resources to help them restore their hold and improve your standing among them.
-Send Tools for them to use: many of the Dawi within Nogrod looked to be working with umgak tool's made from what looks to be an apprentice smith, send them some proper tools so that they can truly restore their hold. (+10% of Success cost's 6 units of tools)
-Send arms and armour to help arm their warriors: When visiting your fellow clan's hold it's warrior's looked ill-equipped to even fight a group of grobi never mind protect a hold from a proper Waaagh, send them some of your stored arms and armour so that they are not left unarmed to face the threats of the world. (+10% of Success cost's 3 units of weapons and 2 units of armour.)
[] Establish or Improve Relations with The Nearby Umgi:
There are many umgi within the lands around the hold and even further afield. Though you do not know all of them they may be of use in the wars to come. Maybe sending a few dawi to establish contact with those nearby would ensure they know you are friends and not the enemy. Though you suppose you will have to visit old allies anyway as they do tend to live rather short lives.
-Rosse Lond 60% chance of success
-Dunedain (Locked off due to high relationship)
-Rohirrim 50% chance of success (locked off for 1 Turn)

1 Turn
[] Establish or improve relations with Gondor:
The umgi you fought beside made mention of a large kingdom off to the west. Said to be under constant threat from dark forces as they border many of their regions. Maybe establishing some contact with them would be a good idea, as you never know when you will send an expedition to calm the blood of your clan. Though their territory is large so the question is. Who do you send your diplomats to?

(lower Chances of success are due both to the distance and danger)
[] Set up an Embassy in Anfalas Capital of Lond Galen:
Gondor's most western point is a fair distance away, and it's capital even further. Balor isn't fond of making long trips further than he needs too but he has enough 'qualified' nieces and nephews he can send in his stead. Set up an Embassy in Anfalas so that he can routinely visit and correspond with the local leadership, while his 'underlings' can make distances further east and south into 'Arda'. Though such a distance is not one to be taken lightly and never for a lone dawi, a small guard will be required for any dawi to safely improve your relations with the umgi in their distant lands.
60% chance of success (A permanent Guard of 5 warriors and 10 Thunderers will be required to guard your clans representative.)
1 Turn
[] Send out a party to Improve relations with blue mountain dwarfs and spread word of a safe home:
With the success of Ancestor Balor, your cousins within the northern mountain chain at least know of you and are at least willing to talk and now with the assistance of the broadbeams of the hold you are sure he can gather more dawi to both your hold and that of Buzra-Dum to centralise and strengthen your local kin and your safety.
(Improve relations with both Northern Nogrod and Belegost Dwarfs as well as possibly gathering dwindling groups of clans or one's looking for some safety)
75% chance of drawing a handful of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 25-40 Dwarfs for your hold and triple that for Buzra-Dum)
50% chance of drawing a few dwarfs to your hold. (Between 50-100 for your hold and Double that for Buzra-Dum)
25% chance of drawing a large group of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 150-250 for your hold and Double that for Buzra-Dum)
5% chance of drawing a massive group of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 300-500 for your hold and Half that for Buzra-Dum)
1 Turn
[] Establish a Trade deal with foreign powers: As Dawi and a Thane you know that the umgi of the empire clamoured for even the trinkets of your people, something that seems your cousins at least managed though it falls short of the revere your used to, thankfully more than a few of your works have spread around as Balor has set relations with them, though he will not journey for the hold for long have him set out to establish a trade deal that will last for generations to come, that is until you either change the deal or the umgi break their word. (Can choose 2 option maximum to establish Trade deals)
-Elgi of Lindon: The Elgi living on the coast are paying a little too much attention to your fellow dawi especially as they are clamouring for our ale, while they have little to offer other than gold and lumber it's good to see elgi come to their senses after so long, even if they are a bit weird. (Offers lumber and that's about what they can offer you without issue as their finished goods are not to dawi taste.) (They are currently inquiring about more of your ale)
-Dunedain: The umgi seem to offer little at the moment and while they have proven staunch allies they have yet to start building after only recently moving in, hopefully, they make something of use with what the clan built. (Currently, they offer nothing other than lumber) (They are currently after acquiring more tools for the use of their expansion and weapons.)
[] Modify a current Trade deal (Sheet at bottom of the update): A dawi trade deal is a long one and one that you will see fulfilled, though while dawi are excellent forward thinkers sometimes an existing deal with an ally needs a change to meet newer demands and it seems that such a time has come, sent a runner to an ally stating that you wish to change the deal a little and will compensate them for the inconvenience.
80% chance of success. Cost 500 Gold

- Roose lond: The umgi within the port have boasted to having contacts all throughout the kingdom and while their port is small they swear they can get us just about anything that is made in Gondor, especially once their lord is done playing politics with his neighbours. (This is your trade route to Gondor you will not be trading with the greater kingdom but the hub, currently, they offer most raw resources and food, their ale grain falls short of what the brewers require what they offer will grow as your works become more known or the port grows.) (They are currently after acquiring more tools for the use of their expansion or finished works.)
-Hobbiton: The short halfling looking people while proving to be hard to get out of their holes seem to have the right way of thinking and while they may live in hills and not mountains, they have proven that they know what they're doing with their crops especially as it at least meets the requirements of the brewer's grains. (Offers food and ale grain as it just meets the requirements of the Brewers.) (They are currently after some lumber and raw iron)
The Clan is in a new land but that does not change that your kin is a prickly people and without a level-headed leader are more than likely to fight one another when things get boring. Sadly with the lack of a proper Warriors hall, this is likely to occur quite a lot, but your sure you can keep the peace if you watch over them carefully.

Their clan has slowly dwindled over time, the reasons many and something that must be solved but first you must ensure that ties are established, and wounds healed to ensure that your kin know that they have not been abandoned.
55% chance of success
1 Turn
Send Resources to help them restore their hold and improve your standing among them.
-Send Tools for them to use: many of the Dawi within Nogrod looked to be working with umgak tool's made from what looks to be an apprentice smith, send them some proper tools so that they can truly restore their hold. (+10% of Success cost's 6 units of tools)
-Send arms and armour to help arm their warriors: When visiting your fellow clan's hold it's warrior's looked ill-equipped to even fight a group of grobi never mind protect a hold from a proper Waaagh, send them some of your stored arms and armour so that they are not left unarmed to face the threats of the world. (+10% of Success cost's 3 units of weapons and 2 units of armour.)
[] Establish or Improve Relations with The Nearby Umgi:
There are many umgi within the lands around the hold and even further afield. Though you do not know all of them they may be of use in the wars to come. Maybe sending a few dawi to establish contact with those nearby would ensure they know you are friends and not the enemy. Though you suppose you will have to visit old allies anyway as they do tend to live rather short lives.
-Rosse Lond 60% chance of success
-Dunedain (Locked off due to high relationship)
-Rohirrim 50% chance of success (locked off for 1 Turn)
-Dunlanders 40% chance of success (they don't like anybody)
-Bree 30% chance of success (The memory of the recent killing is in their minds and they will not trust you and will cause issues.)

[] Establish or improve relations with Gondor:
The umgi you fought beside made mention of a large kingdom off to the west. Said to be under constant threat from dark forces as they border many of their regions. Maybe establishing some contact with them would be a good idea, as you never know when you will send an expedition to calm the blood of your clan. Though their territory is large so the question is. Who do you send your diplomats to?

[] Set up an Embassy in Anfalas Capital of Lond Galen:
Gondor's most western point is a fair distance away, and it's capital even further. Balor isn't fond of making long trips further than he needs too but he has enough 'qualified' nieces and nephews he can send in his stead. Set up an Embassy in Anfalas so that he can routinely visit and correspond with the local leadership, while his 'underlings' can make distances further east and south into 'Arda'. Though such a distance is not one to be taken lightly and never for a lone dawi, a small guard will be required for any dawi to safely improve your relations with the umgi in their distant lands.
60% chance of success (A permanent Guard of 5 warriors and 10 Thunderers will be required to guard your clans representative.)
1 Turn
[] Send out a party to Improve relations with blue mountain dwarfs and spread word of a safe home:
With the success of Ancestor Balor, your cousins within the northern mountain chain at least know of you and are at least willing to talk and now with the assistance of the broadbeams of the hold you are sure he can gather more dawi to both your hold and that of Buzra-Dum to centralise and strengthen your local kin and your safety.
(Improve relations with both Northern Nogrod and Belegost Dwarfs as well as possibly gathering dwindling groups of clans or one's looking for some safety)
75% chance of drawing a handful of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 25-40 Dwarfs for your hold and triple that for Buzra-Dum)
50% chance of drawing a few dwarfs to your hold. (Between 50-100 for your hold and Double that for Buzra-Dum)
25% chance of drawing a large group of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 150-250 for your hold and Double that for Buzra-Dum)
5% chance of drawing a massive group of dwarfs to your hold. (Between 300-500 for your hold and Half that for Buzra-Dum)

[] Establish a Trade deal with foreign powers: As Dawi and a Thane you know that the umgi of the empire clamoured for even the trinkets of your people, something that seems your cousins at least managed though it falls short of the revere your used to, thankfully more than a few of your works have spread around as Balor has set relations with them, though he will not journey for the hold for long have him set out to establish a trade deal that will last for generations to come, that is until you either change the deal or the umgi break their word. (Can choose 2 option maximum to establish Trade deals)
-Elgi of Lindon: The Elgi living on the coast are paying a little too much attention to your fellow dawi especially as they are clamouring for our ale, while they have little to offer other than gold and lumber it's good to see elgi come to their senses after so long, even if they are a bit weird. (Offers lumber and that's about what they can offer you without issue as their finished goods are not to dawi taste.) (They are currently inquiring about more of your ale)
-Dunedain: The umgi seem to offer little at the moment and while they have proven staunch allies they have yet to start building after only recently moving in, hopefully, they make something of use with what the clan built. (Currently, they offer nothing other than lumber) (They are currently after acquiring more tools for the use of their expansion and weapons.)
[] Modify a current Trade deal (Sheet at bottom of the update): A dawi trade deal is a long one and one that you will see fulfilled, though while dawi are excellent forward thinkers sometimes an existing deal with an ally needs a change to meet newer demands and it seems that such a time has come, sent a runner to an ally stating that you wish to change the deal a little and will compensate them for the inconvenience.
80% chance of success. Cost 500 Gold

- Roose lond: The umgi within the port have boasted to having contacts all throughout the kingdom and while their port is small they swear they can get us just about anything that is made in Gondor, especially once their lord is done playing politics with his neighbours. (This is your trade route to Gondor you will not be trading with the greater kingdom but the hub, currently, they offer most raw resources and food, their ale grain falls short of what the brewers require what they offer will grow as your works become more known or the port grows.) (They are currently after acquiring more tools for the use of their expansion or finished works.)
-Hobbiton: The short halfling looking people while proving to be hard to get out of their holes seem to have the right way of thinking and while they may live in hills and not mountains, they have proven that they know what they're doing with their crops especially as it at least meets the requirements of the brewer's grains. (Offers food and ale grain as it just meets the requirements of the Brewers.) (They are currently after some lumber and raw iron)
Martial: (If more than 120 Dawi are away from the hold been used for external garrison forces then you will lose a Martial action until they return.) (Your capacity to Garrison further areas will grow as your hold does.)
With careful aim and deliberation will you strike at the enemies of the clan while also making sure that your kin will do all they can to be prepared.

[]Have Them Assist in the mines:
All Dawi know how to mine and while many leave the profession to pursue their craft it is a vital skill, thankfully the Throng has little to do and that will just not do, especially since it has left them a little softer than usual. Something easy enough to solve especially if they use some of that free time to help harvest some extra ore.
(Doubles the harvesting rate of mines. Write in which mine's or just say all of them.)
60% chance of success. Cost 2 Tools per Mine selected
1 Turn
[] Wargames:
The Throng requires both a strong leader and one that can adapt to a variety of situations. The battlefield is often a place of chaos and confusion. Something that has sent many armies into disarray. But you are dawi and will seldom let this happen, though to ensure this
(Will progress your Martial skill.)
(Dice roll to see progress)
1 Turn
-Invite the Throng of Buzra-Dum: With your cousins growing in size and their throng starting to resemble something at least they need a proper lesson in dawi warfare so that they do not break too quickly.
-Invite some of the local Dunedain: While they are Umgi none the less they have proven quite capable in warfare, although a little too reliant on ranged warfare. It almost gave you a heart attack at Amon-Mingol when you learned of this weakness. Mayhaps you could break this 'cycle' before it's too late? (requires nearby Dunedain presence)
-Invite a portion of the Rosse lond Garrison: You have fought besides the umgi of Rosse-lond and they seemed a little green for your liking and could do with a sound thrashing especially as it will teach the green-beards a good lesson facing against so many.
[] Send out The Throng to clear a distant region:
With the clan slowly returning to it's roots of becoming true craftsman once again, the need for a dedicated army of dawi has slowly fallen to the way side. The battle lust that held sway over the clan having slowly passed and while many still suffer from such a thought, many now agree that it is time to focus on perfecting their craft and if the hold is to march it will need further incentive than their basic pay. (Cost for this action is 300 Gold per 50 dawi fighters in the Throng) (When dire threats arise you will not have to pay them)

[] Have Them Form a large escort force for your Diplomats: (Can only be used for Diplomatic options outside of Arnor.)
The land is filled with dangers and more often than not it is something that would spill good dawi blood, the warrior's of your clan have little to do and having them march out to protect your fellow advisor from danger and show the strength of your people.
(Increases the chance an action succeeding when you try and improve relations with distant lands but also ensures your dawi are safer. +25% to a diplomatic option's success)(Just write in the name of the option you want them escorting.)

[] Help the cult of Gazul prepare for their expedition:
The members of your clan dedicated to the Ancestor of Gazul are preparing for an expedition to cleanse the land, though you have not sent out the call for the Throng you can at least make use of the holds general training and resources to ensure they are ready to face the large number of enemies to come. (Cost 1 Tool, 2 Weapons and 1 Armour unit to arm and prepare the cult) (Will increase the chance of success of their expedition and reduce the risk of casualties.)

[] Train the Deb(Untested) Dawi of the hold: Your cousins of this world have taken up residence within your hold and you will now allow them to drag the honour of your hold down or even let them out the hold until they can at least wield a weapon to an adequate degree. Though it will be a long road of training for them you are sure it will be worth it especially as some of them have the basics down.

Personal actions:
MC Afflictions and bonuses:
Free time and rest or that are what you wish it could be, but you are a Thane and while you can take time to relax you also have a duty to use your free time to improve yourself so that the clan may survive. Even if you did not enjoy it, and this means you have less time for those that were close to you.- 2 General Actions and 1 Improvement Action
3 Action in total
[]Spend Time with your friends:
The War against Chaos saw many of your kin and friends fall in battle but you survived and made many friends among the clan despite their age gap. Still, the duties of both a Thane and that of your friends offer little time to spend with them but you have some free time and setting up a few meetings should be more than possible.
[]Spend Time with your Family:
You are a married dawi and certain things are expected of you. One of which is to ensure your family is happy and ready to do its duty. Spend time with your wife and any kids you have so that you may learn more about them and relax.
[] Go Visit a friend or ally:
Throughout your time in this strange new land, you have made both friends and allies. Though you rarely leave the hold you can make plans to so that your ties with both friends and allies remain strong. Even if they are not dawi.
-Visit Rivendell
-Visit Lindon
-Visit your Umgi allies near the mountain
-Visit your fellow clans Hold
[] Go searching for an adventure:
The new land has your blood singing for an adventure of the unknown and while you admit that it may be dangerous you are sure that you can deal with what comes. The Question was what lay around this mountain.
[] Spend time with your Direct family:
With your duties to the hold slowly expanding you have found little time to spend with your family besides the occasional short visit's, dedicate more time in the coming years to ensure that you stay close with them.
[] Write letters to your fellow friends and leaders in distant lands: The hold is young still and requires much of your time at the moment so that no issues occur. With your time-limited you know that it is not always the best to go and visit your friends and allies in the distant regions of the world. Thankfully your rangers are board and a little task like this may help them stay busy especially with how few threats there are. So maybe a letter or two to them will at least help you keep in contact with them.

-Arathorn
-Maybe Elrond or his sons
-Glorfindel. (Challange him to another duel)

War never changes, set yourself to learn new strategies and techniques to lead the Throng to victory. (Martial Skill progresses)

To be unseen by the enemy requires great skill and patience and to hunt an enemy even more so, thankfully you are decent enough at it but you know you can be better. (Intrigue skill progresses)

Your clan is a group primarily of Engineers and while you admit that you are a slow learner, you do know that you learn well under someone and your training was far from complete in some areas, thankfully you have time to improve yourself. (Learning skill progresses)
[] Weapons Practice:
To Learn a Weapon takes time and that is something a dawi has ample time to take advantage of. Though it takes dedication to use a weapon you also know that a battlefield is a chaotic place and that anything can happen and training for it will prepare you. (Write in the weapon you wish to learn)
(x2 on any roll you make to weapon Improvement)
Time: 1 Turn
The War against Chaos saw many of your kin and friends fall in battle but you survived and made many friends among the clan despite their age gap. Still, the duties of both a Thane and that of your friends offer little time to spend with them but you have some free time and setting up a few meetings should be more than possible.
[]Spend Time with your Family:
You are a married dawi and certain things are expected of you. One of which is to ensure your family is happy and ready to do its duty. Spend time with your wife and any kids you have so that you may learn more about them and relax.
[] Go Visit a friend or ally:
Throughout your time in this strange new land, you have made both friends and allies. Though you rarely leave the hold you can make plans to so that your ties with both friends and allies remain strong. Even if they are not dawi.
-Visit Rivendell
-Visit Lindon
-Visit your Umgi allies near the mountain
-Visit your fellow clans Hold
[] Go searching for an adventure:
The new land has your blood singing for an adventure of the unknown and while you admit that it may be dangerous you are sure that you can deal with what comes. The Question was what lay around this mountain.
[] Spend time with your Direct family:
With your duties to the hold slowly expanding you have found little time to spend with your family besides the occasional short visit's, dedicate more time in the coming years to ensure that you stay close with them.
[] Write letters to your fellow friends and leaders in distant lands: The hold is young still and requires much of your time at the moment so that no issues occur. With your time-limited you know that it is not always the best to go and visit your friends and allies in the distant regions of the world. Thankfully your rangers are board and a little task like this may help them stay busy especially with how few threats there are. So maybe a letter or two to them will at least help you keep in contact with them.
-Arathuil
-Arathorn
-Maybe Elrond or his sons
-Glorfindel. (Challange him to another duel)
[]Focus some effort on a project:
Much work will be required to establish a hold but you are sure that if you lend a hand out somewhere that more can be done even if it will not be easy. (Double Down on a project that the clan is working on.)

Hold Receives: 1 Iron ore, 1 Sulphur, 1 Coal, 1 Saltpetre/Potassium Nitrate, 1 Lumber
Paying Rosse Lond with: 1 Weapons, 1 Glass, 1 medicine, 1 Simple art
***
The Vote will be open for 3-8 Days (Might leave it longer if it is undecided at the time)
5-hour Moratorium
Yip a few events and even good events can sometimes cause an issue even if it is a minor one, also yes their are journey dawi and I only keeping track of them as they actually have a role to play now and will develop things as they visit around and sadly while the first 2 group will always change, your clan been engineers will always have them apart of these groups and their differing ideals will also change things for where they visit. Still enjoy guys.

I think a warriors hall is in order and more defences

I'm tempted to split the food we have stored between Hobbiton and the Dunedain.
For the gold mine I think we should claim it, the Broadbeam are happy so it shouldn't be too bad, and by right it is ours. Plus we'll need that gold to commission lots of golems.
We should build a warriors hall since they have been waiting on that since we first settled, we should also build the gunpowder hall to start refilling our supplies and I think for the last stewardship expand our engineers hall or else work on the Broadbeam halls.
For learning we should finish off tools, continue working on lifts and I think better firearms would be handy too. Edit: Just noticed we can double down, if we double down on lifts we can get the tools and the lifts finished this turn as long as we don't fail.

We should start building this this turn so we have it ready for the next battle.
Okey so they are still loyal, i was wrong about them splintering from the hold, and they are near, what? The Misty Mountains?
Found a wrong sentence (?)
Oh...OH now this is a butterfly that can help in so many wars and events, for example the Goblin King's scattered remnants that will ravage Eriador, the Fell Winter of the Shire, where Loremasters and Elf Farmers could guide and be tought of the ways of the Hobbit Greenthumb, which, by result, make the Shire bloom and be the breadbasket it is meant to be, we just need to get iur hands on Elf Soil, the Wights of the North and Barrow Downs that could be given peace by Noldor Steel and Voice, War of The Dwarfs and Goblin could be less devastating, granted the majority happened beneath the mountains in dark places, but the Noldor could help, Trolls will be monitored and hunted on the Old lands of Rhudaur and so much more.
Huh? Was is that or this?
Now i am imagining High Elves emissaries finaly contacting the Avari Elder Council in Dorwinion...hehehe...Gehahahahaahaha, would it be epic when Elronds emissaries meet and greet Imin, Tata or Enel?
...Aaaannnnnddddd i just realized that the Elves have a pool of Ancient but invinsible Elves that they can muster and train again...imagine the wonders and extra power for scouts to huntdown Orcs and Shadow aligned enemies, Eriador will be alot safer by then...and maybe a pool of Veterans who has fought Balrogs before in the First Age or rather can hold out for a moment.
This sentence part need (,)...i think.
Made me do a double take of "huh?" Then i realized you meant the Dawi of the Grey Mountains...sorry about this quesrion, but Dwarf/s is used for Mundus Dawi, while Dwarve/s is used for Arda Khazad?
This sentence part is missing (,) again, i think?
Found a typo.
Also, question, Can i double post? The second post will be my vote.

Ok so I've put together a plan, please do point out any mistakes or if you think there is something better we could be doing. The only things I'm really certain of are the Stewardship, learning and golem commission.
[] Split your food stores not meant for this year towards both groups
We have positive food income so we should be able to share
[] The Gold Vein Belongs to you (Will anger the Broadbeams but increase the mining guild appeasement) (You gain the full income of the mine)
We want the gold and the broadbeams are currently happy with us so we should be ok to just take the mine here
Diplomacy:
[]Settle Disputes as they come:
The Clan is in a new land but that does not change that your kin is a prickly people and without a level-headed leader are more than likely to fight one another when things get boring. Sadly with the lack of a proper Warriors hall, this is likely to occur quite a lot, but your sure you can keep the peace if you watch over them carefully. (Keeps Hold Stability Stable while improving your guild appeasement with negative clans)
60% chance of success
1 Turn
[] Improve relations with Blue mountain dwarfs of southern Buzra-Dum:
A small group of cousin dawi have been found dwelling within the ruins of one your peoples hold. Their clan has slowly dwindled over time, the reasons many and something that must be solved but first you must ensure that ties are established, and wounds healed to ensure that your kin know that they have not been abandoned.
55% chance of success
1 Turn
-Send arms and armour to help arm their warriors: When visiting your fellow clan's hold it's warrior's looked ill-equipped to even fight a group of grobi never mind protect a hold from a proper Waaagh, send them some of your stored arms and armour so that they are not left unarmed to face the threats of the world. (+10% of Success cost's 3 units of weapons and 2 units of armour.)
[] Set up an Embassy in Anfalas Capital of Lond Galen:
Gondor's most western point is a fair distance away, and it's capital even further. Balor isn't fond of making long trips further than he needs too but he has enough 'qualified' nieces and nephews he can send in his stead. Set up an Embassy in Anfalas so that he can routinely visit and correspond with the local leadership, while his 'underlings' can make distances further east and south into 'Arda'. Though such a distance is not one to be taken lightly and never for a lone dawi, a small guard will be required for any dawi to safely improve your relations with the umgi in their distant lands.
60% chance of success (A permanent Guard of 5 warriors and 10 Thunderers will be required to guard your clans representative.)
1 Turn
Not too sure on the diplomacy stuff for this turn. If anyone has better ideas I'd be up for changing any of these.
Martial:
[] Train the Deb(Untested) Dawi of the hold: Your cousins of this world have taken up residence within your hold and you will now allow them to drag the honour of your hold down or even let them out the hold until they can at least wield a weapon to an adequate degree. Though it will be a long road of training for them you are sure it will be worth it especially as some of them have the basics down.
50% chance of success. (Currently have 60 Dwarven labourers in the hold)
3 Turns
Troop Training they will receive (Choose 1)
- [] Train some of them to fulfil both the roles of warriors and quarrlers. (Splits the Labourers evenly into both Ered Luin Militia and Ered Luin scouts)
[] Train the Elgram and foolish: More of your cousins seem to not even have an idea on how to wield a weapon never mind how a correct stance, this cannot stand! Have the elders whip them into shape so they can get some better training. (Currently can gain another 60 Dwarf Labourers.)
60% chance of success.
I think we should try and train up more of the new dwarves, I lean toward training them as both but if anyone has a good argument for going either way I'd go for that.
Stewardship:
[] Excavate a Warrior Hall:
The Throng requires a hall that will allow them to train amongst one another whilst also settling the minor grudges that occur among the clan. Thankfully there is plenty of space for the clan to expand. (Unlocks additional options and Reckoners Hall)
60% chance of success Cost: 3 Tools 4 Lumber (Maintenance Cost of 2 Lumber and 1 Weapon unit)
1 Turns
[] Expand the Engineers Hall Facilities:
With the Engineer hall finally built, it still lack more than a few of it's more advanced facilities that would allow it to truly begin making the great works of your people, that and it will hopefully stop the guild from fighting with the others and giving you less of a headache.
(Reduce the progress Bars of more advanced research ideas and allows for faster construction of more advanced machines while increasing the guilds maintenance capacity.)
60% chance of success Cost: 8 Tools (Maintenance Cost of 3 Tools) (Produces 2 Units of gun cleaning tools and will maintain 1 additional Artillery Piece) (Allows production of Simple Artillery) (Once complete allows for expansion options to produce advanced Components.)
1 Turn
[] Build a Gunpowder Hall: The Production of Gunpowder is both dangerous and requires careful precision to get it just right, something that a dedicated hall is required for so to keep the hold safe and the dawi within alive, commission the stonemasons and miners to build a new hall.
50% chance of success Cost: 5 Tools, 3 basalt and 2 Lumber
2 Turns
Build the warriors hall (finally) so our warriors can properly train. We need the gunpowder hall to restock our gunpowder supplies. Expanding the engineers hall so we can start building advanced components to build and maintain as many golems as possible.
Intrigue:
[] Train the Rangers: With the loss of many of your rangers veteran core, it has left the holds remaining rangers low in numbers and poorly trained for a dawi, thankfully Hokul is an adequate trainer and while it will be a few years before the problem is solved and his successor takes his place, he will watch the Rangers and get them into shape. (Slowly Improves your advisor's skill)
60% chance of success
1 Turn
[] Investigate your cousins Further: Though you do not think these Grimborn mean the dawi any harm they are still snooping about in places they should not be, have a few rangers tail them so to keep an eye on their activities and to find out more of their plans.
20% chance of success to gather detailed information, 40% chance to gather some detailed information, 60% chance to gather information.
Keep training the rangers and investigating the grimborn. If anyone thinks there is something more important to do though do say.
Learning:
[] Better Tools:
Your clan's tools have been something renowned for their quality but like your for fathers know that they need to be improved as per tradition the question is how were you going to do that and how could the clan improve them. (Progress 2/3)
60% chance of success
1 Turn
[] Better Lifts: - Double down
The Clan knows how to build and maintain Lifts as any good engineer should but the ones used in Zhuffbar are faster and stronger than the ones you build and are sure with a bit of experimentation that you can make some progress to reaching such great works. (Progress 3/5)
60% chance of success
1 Turn
Finishing off tools and lifts here so we can start on something else.
Personal:
[]Spend Time with your Family:
You are a married dawi and certain things are expected of you. One of which is to ensure your family is happy and ready to do its duty. Spend time with your wife and any kids you have so that you may learn more about them and relax.
[] Go Visit a friend or ally:
Throughout your time in this strange new land, you have made both friends and allies. Though you rarely leave the hold you can make plans to so that your ties with both friends and allies remain strong. Even if they are not dawi.
-Visit Rivendell
[] Weapons Practice: - Dwarf Guns
To Learn a Weapon takes time and that is something a dawi has ample time to take advantage of. Though it takes dedication to use a weapon you also know that a battlefield is a chaotic place and that anything can happen and training for it will prepare you. (Write in the weapon you wish to learn)
Spend some time with the family, a visit to Rivendell could help us get to know more about the elves of this new world and working on our shooting. Open to change any of these if anyone has any suggestions.
Guild Management:
[] Gift a few guilds some gold for their own use or gift all the gold to a single clan: (Choose 3 Guilds with only a minor boost to their Appeasement or choose 1 clan to receive the gold for a large boost at the cost of 1200 Gold) - Clan Broadbeam, Runescribes and Armourers & Weaponsmiths.
Paying off the Broadbeams since we are taking the goldmine and also giving the two least happy guilds a bit of gold too.
Submarine:
[] Recover items from a connected hall: Instruct the crew of the nautilus to search the minor halls connected to the hallway especially as there may be more dry halls to recover intact artefacts of your cousin's golden age. (halls searched: 0/5)
What you find depends on your roll
Time: 1 Turn
Dry halls seem like the most valuable place to search.
Commission:
[] Basic War Steam Golem:
Commission the Engineers guild to build a basic steam war golem that while slow and cumbersome is armed with a massive hammer able to crush even a troll, though are more often than not used as a mobile tower for a squad of thunderers or a rapid barricade in defensive actions. (Specialised heavy unit is added to the Throng)
Costs: 2000, 15 Iron ore and 2 Advanced Components 4 Tools) (Maintenance 2 tools and when returning from deployment will require 2 Advanced components to restore to full condition.) (Will take 3 Turns to build)
Our enemies shall rue the day they angered us when they see our golems bearing down on them!
[] Split your food stores not meant for this year towards both groups
We have positive food income so we should be able to share
[] The Gold Vein Belongs to you (Will anger the Broadbeams but increase the mining guild appeasement) (You gain the full income of the mine)
We want the gold and the broadbeams are currently happy with us so we should be ok to just take the mine here

-Send Tools for them to use:
[] Send out a party to Improve relations with blue mountain dwarfs and spread word of a safe home:
We want more dwarf, this helps diplomacy with them and we will not spread ourself thin, we do not need more diplomacy with the umgi for now.
Martial:
[] Train the Deb(Untested) Dawi of the hold
- [] Purely focus on training them to be Warriors (Ered Luin Militia)

I actually tought about bulding a miner golem but since it expands the mine capacity but does not really increase the flux of mined ore I think they are bad rigth now.
The idea of this plan is that the elgi will come to ask of our ale, if they come beggin for it they will pay more, so we upscale the production in preparation, we use the money to finance our constant bribes to the guilds and all the warmachine we will commision.
We use the brewer gift to ensure good rols in the critical stuff that could explode if we were to fail.

[x]Learn ways of running a hold and building:
A visit to Rivendell could help us get to know more about the elves and getting Erlond to like us will get ourself a seat at the table when big stuff happens.
Our stewardhsip is almost full I say we complete the progress barr.
Guild Management:
[x] Gift a few guilds some gold for their own use or gift all the gold to a single clan: (Choose 3 Guilds with only a minor boost to their Appeasement or choose 1 clan to receive the gold for a large boost at the cost of 1200 Gold) - Clan Broadbeam, Runescribes and Armourers & Weaponsmiths.
Paying off the Broadbeams since we are taking the goldmine and also giving the two least happy guilds a bit of gold too.

I actually tought about bulding a miner golem but since it expands the mine capacity but does not really increase the flux of mined ore I think they are bad rigth now.
[x] Split your food stores not meant for this year towards both groups
We have positive food income so we should be able to share
[x] The Gold Vein Belongs to you (Will anger the Broadbeams but increase the mining guild appeasement) (You gain the full income of the mine)
We want the gold and the broadbeams are currently happy with us so we should be ok to just take the mine here

-Send arms and armour to help arm their warriors
-Send Tools for them to use:
[x] Send out a party to Improve relations with blue mountain dwarfs and spread word of a safe home:
We want more dwarf, this helps diplomacy with them and we will not spread ourself thin, we do not need more diplomacy with the umgi for now.
Martial:
[x] Train the Deb(Untested) Dawi of the hold
- [x] Purely focus on training them to be Warriors (Ered Luin Militia)
[x] Train the Elgram and foolish
we have all the firepower necesary, what we do need is the ability to hold the line long enough for our ranged troops to work, se wo train them as melee guys.
Stewardship:
[x] Expand the Brewery:
[x] Expand the Engineers Hall Facilities
Brewer's Gift
[x] Build a Gunpowder Hall
We need the gunpowder hall to restock our gunpowder supplies. Expanding the engineers hall so we can start building advanced components to build and maintain as many golems as possible. The extra beer will be used to make lots of money from the elgi.
Intrigue:
[x] Train the Rangers
[x] Investigate your cousins Further
We have few rangers, we will train them and I consider unlikely that they will somehow manage to kill themself in our hold.

Ok I took some stuff from Franksson's plan, main difference is I'm still going for the warriors hall over the brewers since I think it is important to get a proper hall up if we are going to be training people. Also still going for guns since I think we levelled up stewardship recently so we are starting again for the next level up. Edit: Disregard, changed to stewardship as we are near level up there.

Which spoiler do you mean? I must be missing it. In the end I went back and checked the results of the last update and you are right. I'm just can't see where it says it.
Anyhow I'm changing my plan to train stewardship because of it. That means the only difference is warriors hall versus Brewers hall.

I'm not sure what the brewers gift does if spent on a commission it isn't a roll so it can't boost it. For the warriors hall I'm guessing it helps with training since it is proper facilities for it rather than just the temporary setup they have on the surface right now.

Hmm interesting choice you're choosing for the mine.
Just so you know in the Karaz Ankor, traditionally the mine goes to the clan that discovered it, with half the proceeds going to ruling clan of the hold.
In Arda however the Khazad all work for the ruler of those halls (typically a long beard) who owns all the mines, foundries and halls. This is one of the reasons there are so many small mines and enclaves of dwarfs picketing in the middle of nowhere (different in mallus, where there are far more dwarfs, clans and holds picked clean of ores). While economically a loss, this would be a very good diplomacy option if you went the opposite route to the Khazad.
