Background rolls. It finally dropped from the available actions after barely staying available for the last two turns.

Here's my proposed plan to finish off the Devourer within 3 turns at most and fulfill our obligations to Harsh Mountain.
And for the main focus: making a good first impression on the Mountain Village by going full hog on Anti-Devourer actions. Skerhogis' origin myth had it becoming our enemy first, and we can gain recognition as their Protector by addressing their plight.

Here's my proposed plan to finish off the Devourer within 3 turns at most and fulfill our obligations to Harsh Mountain.
- Conserving power this turn to provide flexibility for cleansing the Blighted Lands, since doing so would leave only 3-4 power for other actions.
- Blessing the Goats to continue expanding our Forest settlement as the new trade route with Mountain village.
- Blessing Fishers to continue the recovery process, our village are still undersized compared to pre-Famine numbers.

Our investment is finding and accessing these places no one would exactly claim that getting to that island was actually easy after all.
What is your point here? Our turns cover many, many mortal lifetimes to the point where literally a single turn covered the time it took our primary population centers to go from completely decimated to almost back to the former carrying capacity of the region they live in. So, it doesn't particularly matter that presently we're below carrying capacity in some areas or even significantly below capacity in others because by next turn the former will be full, and the latter will be one turn away from full tops most likely.
Ya, nah I'm out if we aren't going to gain more power over the next like half a dozen turns that would help us kill the Devourer I'm going for him now.

Same as Duesal's plan but I'm aiming to kill the Devourer since gaining the healing domain or upgrading our sea domain isn't going to do much if anything to help us kill it so there's no point in delaying any longer.

Ugh, fine. But we should get the shrine next turn. The sooner we get it the better.

Dude, we're not ready. He created a servant that was our equal.

Just fyi, identical sub-votes will be merged by the tally. You need to put some differences between them otherwise they won't show up.
One example is multiple repetitions of the following will get merged into one:
--[] Area: Mountains -- 1 Power
One solution is you can follow my format by combining it with the action instead of a separate sub-vote. Otherwise you can try adding different versions like:
--[] Area: Mountains -- 1 Power (Heal)
--[] Area: Mountains -- 1 Power (Bereaved)

And, we should just let him gather more power to create another one? We're never going to be more ready than we already are. By the time we get a rank 3 death domain 10 more turns will have passed and he'll have created like two more servants to match us with so either we strike now or we fall further behind.
Which required a multi-turn ritual with stored power. This is not something it can just shit out whenever it pleases.

My point is I don't think any of our settlements have ever reached maximum capacity and we should focus on consolidation instead of stretching ourselves thin. Only the Bay Village was centralized enough to perhaps reach that point but the other village offshoots can still be developed further.
@Azel Can you confirm if we have previously reached maximum capacity on any of our settlements?

...Bro, there was no mention of a natural disaster or anything like that wrecking our people's food supply for a year causing a famine. What caused the last famine was obviously our people reaching max carrying capacity on the land we owned.
And, even putting that aside your plan isn't really any more consolidated than my own we'll both have near full or full settlements everywhere except I have the addition of one severely under carrying capacity settlement in probably the safest place we've found on the map yet that will produce more power for us to do things with.

You did so previously, which prompte the last great expansion wave.
Keep in mind though that settlements don't exist in a timeless vacuum. Carriage capacity changes though natural fluctuations (background rolls), divine interference (your actions), random chance (more background rolls), technological progress (rolled for and mentioned in the result phase of the turn) and trade.

Well bit disappointed I couldn't get any traction for my plan but the poor vote formatting is triggering my OCD hard 
May I ask future plan-makers to specify the Area for an action without creating a separate sub-vote? It makes plans look incredibly bloated AND doesn't show up properly on vote tally if they're identical copies.
Here's an example:
-[D] Heal the people. - Mountains, 1 Power
Also @Duesal, you broke your plan into 2 separate sections, you need to add a hyphen for the Bless the Fishers action. -[D]

I'd point out that it doesn't really matter as the title of my plan is a link to the full plan that you can click on in the vote tally to go to the post the plan is in.

Sure but not everyone does that, and it's an extra unnecessary step. It still appears visually bloated in the original post, and I'm saying it can be made more concise and organized.

If you want to fight the Devourer, cancel as many actions as you can. You are currently showing up to the fight with an empty tank.

It's not empty I'd point out I am storing some power, and we are capable of fighting just fine even on an empty tank anyways.
