Nice.

(Living) Barracks: If you want to turn your living forces into proper soldiers they will need a place to stay and training while not proper training fields it is a step towards that direction. DC 10
Cost: 100
- Roll: 173 (OOC: this is the combination of all the criticals you guys got)

The barracks for your, future, living soldiers were timely constructed ahead of schedule, and there are already young man and women (you and the rest of Mousillon do not have the stupid tradition that only men fight) already want to sign in for the future armies of their savior. There also has been a significant morale boost among living. As result of this you popularity among them is becoming more like a somewhat religious figure, butt there aren't any cults dedicated to you… you checked.

Rewards: Humans happy. DC for recruitment of living units in four turns is reduced. You now become a somewhat religious figure among the humans.

I'm just imagining the look on the bretonnians face when they finally realize "Hey, Vampire's in Mousillon lets get em." and they run face first into a cannon/gun line.

I'm even more excited to see the look on some Grail Knight's face when they pick a fight with us, thinking we're some weak newbie vamp, and run into our ONE HUNDRED AND SIX Personal Combat :evil:
 
A sneak peek about the empires of man in their fight against your lineage current leader:

"Konrad Von Carstein engaged in a duel against the stirland emperor, nearly slaying him had not an entire regiment of greatswords sacrificing themselves to save him, but the stirland emperor is mortally wounded."

Look. We do not fulfill any of the requirements for Bretonnian Heraldry for Blazons & Marks of Excellence.

So lets just have a Black emblem (charge) of Mousillon on a Black background (field). Go with style! We are a vampire after all.

Only two spells for somehow rolling over 400? seems kind of weird... oh well, slowly edging closer to the much desired Speed of Light, we will get it in time...
Admittedly assault stone is bullshit too :p

So repair the Runeblade, somehow find some fire-proof armour and then see if we can get SoL, that should be enough to try and take on a high dragon.
any other neat tricks anyone can think of to kill the HD and turn into a perfect vampire?

So what do you guys expect to hatch from the eggs?:-

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Shard dragons aren't actually dragons so unless they were mis-identified it won't be that...

Honestly though it depends, if the wind they align with is chosen by dirth of parentage and genetics, it still could be any type since there are enough dragons that lay their eggs in caves/mountains.
More likely the type of dragon will either be random based on the same randomness that gives humans their wind alignment or it will be based on what type of wind they absorbed in egg stage which would be somewhat random since different winds form in the same locations based on a whole lot of factors (time of day, moods, history etc.) but we'd likely get more of certain types that form in a mine/cave (in mousillon) more easily

(the most common would be shadow, metal, death and oddly enough light. There is a decent chance at beast and life though since there are still animals underground and above ground it just makes them less likely, same for fire since flammable gasses are a thing and quite common due to mousilons swampy geography, the lowest chance would be heavens since they won't have seen the skies ever... still a slight chance since the winds of fate get everywhere eventually) .

Shame is we're not likely to murder them since they are people and we're probably going to raise them...(also it'd take a few centuries or so for them to even start to come close to becoming a high dragon so it wouldn't be that efficient either)
So it'll be finding a random high dragon to kill for our ascention, i kind of doubt that the parent dragon is still alive since we got them without a problem...

having said that the shard dragon would be a interesting thing to have if say the ratman start to become a problem.

Or we use them as bait? Or can we use Dragon Ogres for our Ascention?
