4. Council Chambers. Gus's anti-assassination trait only works if we're in the same building, and our advisors can't be living in mere tents/bunkhouses either.

I would say Governor Manse would work decently for the time being both for work and living arangments. Unless it is an upgrade in witch case same, honesly. Better hammock in a Manse than a bed in a tent.

Also migrants from old world would not know to move our direction. way to new of a thing for info to spread. From other colonies on continent? that's a mayby. We don't exacly have a merchan navy to swing along our coast. Unless there is one of our neigbours that would swing by befor going on further.

Speaking on Migrants. Are we open to Centoreans hanging at our place long term?

There was a mass advertising campaign all over the empire, and Estalia plus the Tilean city-states have known for months. This was not a small nor subtle endeavour.

In general direction? perhaps. Us specifically? not likely. for the average folk we are one of many that tryed and are yet to fail. a succesfull colony is a rare thing amoung fresh ones. Sure advertising helps, but there still is this 'probation period' where people question if it's real and such. will get better with our feedback and continues prove of existence, but fo now we are limited to mose desperate and devoted.
And of course all the rich pushing their manpower our direction...
ok, this is proving more complicated than i thouth.
goodluck to sailors.

You are Flynn Ryder, Governor of the new Imperial Colony of Preisdorf and it is up to you to Decide where your people's destiny lies. In fortune, or in death upon this hostile land?

You have already had an odd start to the week between the apparent insanity of your astromancers and the star-maps they have scribbled all over your main street, now made passingly immortal by the addition of pale pebbles to match their stars and spare plaster into the lines.

You deeply appreciate your elven lover's lips, her cuddles, her warmth and comfort in this utterly strange time, even if she keeps trying to talk your ear off about stars or constellations following your astromancer's mania.
You love her enthusiasm nonetheless, what little you understand of astronomy helping you make Rapunzel laugh with ludicrous questions.

+2 Mo this week as Scholarly types pay to take plaster casts and charcoal rubbings of the starmaps, and from the increased market-taxes at the docks.

You have 1.75 Manpower Available.
You have 2 Personal Actions to spend.
You have 5 Advisor Actions available.
You have a treasury of 160.5 Mo
(165.5 -6 Temp Adventurer Payments last week, +2 Mo from the star-maps all over your main street.)

You have 31 Food in Storage (rounding down). Base Spoilage rate of 5%

You have 10 Construction Materials available.

You have 18 Building slots available, 5.5 are Flooded. 12 are Forested. (+.5 dry slot from drainage pumps built last week)
Forested Slots can be made clear by adding 0.5 additional manpower to the Lumberyard, generating an additional +6 Construction Materials.
Cleared and Dried slots are available to be built on on the same week they are cleared.

Additional Slots will open up every 20 slots filled.
You have a trade route with the Centorean Glade-Stewards exchanging 2 Food for 4 Money per week.

(165.5 - 19 Advisor Upkeep - 8 Adventurer Upkeep - 6 Temp Adventurer Payments last week, +2 Mo from the star-maps all over your main street.)

Darn it, I forgot about the temp adventurer payments. However, I don't believe we're due to pay advisor and adventurer upkeep this week. That's once per month, so I believe it's due week 4.

Pillowsperky said:
You have 18 Building slots available, 5 are Flooded. 12 are Forested. (+1 dry slot from drainage pumps built last week)

We should've only gotten 0.5 dry slots, since each drainage pump only gets us 0.25 and we have two.

2. How do we actually launch our jungle goblin expedition?
3. Can we target Spirits of the Forest with a diplomacy action? What's our relationship with them?
4. Since Rapunzel has Student of Magic and she's our Learning advisor, can she help out with the star message translation?

2. On the Expedition & Questing threadmark you'll be able to vote on Launching vs Holding Off. Upon launching all of your committed resources will be absorbed into the pool, and any committed advisors/adventurers will be made unavailable for the duration.
3. The Spirits of the Forest are not currently targetable with diplomatic actions. This may change as you explore the deepwoods.
4. Hmm. Sure! I'll accept it as a write-in action on a plan.

[] Plan: Life Upon This Hostile Land
-[] [Construct]
--[] Forester's Lodge (Forested) (Improve Construction)
--[] Palisade Wall
--[] Colonial Pamphleteer (Docks)
--[] Storm-watcher (Docks)
--Total cost: 2.5 Manpower, 10 Construction Materials, 5 Mo

This plan is named for the defensive benefits it gives us. With it, we're basically finished with improving our colony's defensibility, at least in the foreseeable future.

We've recently had a run-in with pirates, so a storm-watcher would be a good idea now. The palisade is our best defensive building by a lot, so it's good to get that in general. The Forester's Lodge doesn't take up a Dry slot, guards us against landborne surprise attacks, and gives us a bunch of resources; I'm choosing Forested to improve food variety and because our Food income is leaner than our Money income. Finally, the Colonial Pamphleteer because it's cheap in Manpower and CM to build, and because it's what makes Flynn's Nose trait a positive one.

Next week, we want to build the Governor's Manse and Colonial Bunkhouse in order to house Flynn and the new colonists. We don't need to worry about manpower to build them thanks to those colonists.

-[] [Flynn] Send out Quest Bounties
-[] [Flynn] Hold a Public Forum
-[] [Diplomacy] Secure Alliances (Anacoa Snakemen)
-[] [Martial] Patrol Perimeter
-[] [Stewardship] Improve Construction (Forester's Lodge (Forested))
-[] [Intrigue] Investigate Cults/Agents
-[] [Learning] Conduct Research - Blueprints (Land Reclamation)

I don't want to do Itza until we've translated the star message, since it looks like we'll be talking to lizardmen anyway. I don't want to continue Imilar's questline just yet as the expedition will take away a number of our adventurers and we have several Martial quests demanding our attention.

Since we'll likely cut down a Forested Slot next turn, I want to do Land Reclamation first. After that, I think we can have Rapunzel help out with the star message no problem.

1. Can you threadmark this post? It contains story-relevant information that isn't available in current threadmarked posts.
2. My intention is to ship Gus and Else off on the expedition this turn, so should I abstain from having them do a Martial and Intrigue action?

In my plan, Johanna is translating the star message, which will lead to diplomacy with Tlaxtlan, who are closer and friendlier to warmbloods than Itza. Since we're already doing lizardman diplomacy in a way, might as well have Imilar talk to the second of the jungle tripartate.

Hellteddy said:

I'm planning to do so next week actually!

But this week we have a freshly traumatised rat catcher and an advisor about to head off on her own questline expedition, so they're even more time sensitive.

But rest assured, the drug trip IS coming.

I've ultimately decided against the Klaus talk. When it comes to being there for Klaus, that's the job for a Shallyan or someone close to him, not his boss. It's just inappropriate and awkward to insert ourselves there, even if we absolutely have sympathy for the man.

Instead, let's just get high with Rapunzel and Elenia. Fynn's been under a bunch of stress since he set foot on Lustria and zonking out on Lustrian narcotics should help with that until we build the manse.

EDIT: Clearing a slot and building the manse this turn.

could we send some help on that one? seems high priority to work out.

[X] Plan: Swirling Patterns

huh, one resource we seem to be most hurting for appears to be Manpower.
With colonist arraving at week 4 and migrations being slow to pick up, we could consider upgrades that reduce manpower up-keep?
Then again, it is way to early to consider automatization.

Actually. Do we have any intel on our 'human' neigbours?

@Pillowsperky I forgot to factor in that we'll have 1 more Food thanks to Porito boosting plant production by 10% (or 2 if it's per plant building).

We'd need to build the Celestial Viewing Tower alongside it, but we only have one Dry slot available, so it'd mean a major restructuring of the plan in one way or another. Here's our options:
1. Build the Palisade Wall and Storm-watcher another week. Next week, we'll be low enough on slots and manpower that building a Palisade Wall, Colonial Bunkhouse, and Governor's Manse will be a real challenge.
2. Take manpower off a Jade Rice Paddy to clearcut a Forested slot. This would mean no Forester's Lodge, no Storm-watcher, less Food from farming (though we DO have a massive stockpile), and would be cutting down a Forested slot before Rapunzel comes up with a Land Reclamation blueprint.

I don't think it's worth going for it this week. The ONLY benefit is the +10 to that star message action because we'll have a reroll anyway, and we'd need to sacrifice a lot to get it.

Since it's an advisor action rather than an expedition, only Johanna can help, and she's busy with the star message. EDIT: Flynn can help too, but he's got other things to do at the moment.

Our only human neighbours are the Amazons, and the only intel we have on them is knowing where their sacred isle is. Turns out there's no other human factions on our local coast, going by the maps we looted from Peony.

Well, this is sad. Hopefully least we can achive is being a spot at major trade route at some point.
Since we 're at north coast (somewhere) and biggest human colony is all the way close to Hexoatl in north-west.
mhmm.

Fair nuff. I shall edit.

As to human neighbours this is relatively true. You would know that Santa Magritta is somewhere south-east of you, and that Breonny is further south still. You'd also know that there is a Tilean colony _somewhere_, and Swamptown far north past the Creeping Jungle.
