Wait a sec.
When Integrate Stallions says "+5 Econ, +5 Econ Expansion", does that mean we get +5 Econ (therefore -5 EE) + 5 EE, for a total of +0 EE, or do we net +5 EE?

It means we get additional +5 Econ from them, but they also have +5 Econ Expansion lying around unexploited.

EE, after all, is just 'Land Capacity to be developed'.

Well, on the 'waif' front, the king didn't recognize that she was a woman under her armour. While she didn't exactly lead the most swole lifestyle at the temple, she does come from the north and nomad stock. So she wasn't exactly some twiggy thing, and had been practicing for about two years at this point.



Will roll, but along with a Heroic rating will not have any stats less than Average.



Some minor stuff, but the route is too much of a pain in the ass to work for bulk trade, so beyond villages trading with each other, the big trade is still better to do via ship and thus through the Trelli.

There may be a megaproject to alter this situation however.

Are there any other battles that the bards will be singing about specifically? Or other epic moments on par with "Dragon General versus Son of the Sun"?

I do not like the crow
  • Sidestory
    • I do not like the Crow.

    They laugh at me and bother me when I wish to sleep. They tell me cruel, heartless things. They tell me that everyone I love will die.

    Sometimes, the Crow shows themselves to me. I know that it is important, so I draw them in their many shapes, and tell the priests who can't see. They grow unsettled when I do. I think the priests do not like the Crow so much, either.

    When Brother Ayryn comes to see me, I think the Crow do not like it, how Ayryn tells them to shoo when I say they are speaking to me again. I like when Ayryn used to see me. Ayryn cannot see me anymore. The Crow who tells who dies did it. He sat upon Brother's shoulder and laughed at me when I told him to go away from Ayryn. He said to me, "Make me! Make me! You cannot!"

    I could not. It was my fault. When brother's group returned, I knew. The Crow pecked at my skin and soul, then, and the king says I nearly died. I think the king is wrong. If I was in so much pain, how could I not have died?

    But the Crow made me stay anyway. The Crow fought itself over me, and told me to steal away into the night, when it told me it would surely kill me if I stayed. I ran very far, and I listened, and learned. I learned from the Crow who gives secrets how to speak like the Crow, how to tell the Crow who tells who dies whose shoulder to sit upon, and how to tell the Crow who confounds to muddle the minds of others.

    And then I killed the man who the Crow said killed Ayryn. I told the Crow who tells who dies to stand upon his shoulder, and the Crow who confounds to slow his thoughts, and I took his sword that he killed Ayryn with - I know because the Crow told me! - and I cut off his head.

    The Crow was silent. The Crow was pleased. The Crow told me to find more.

    I did. I found them all, and I confounded their minds with the Crow's secrets. I killed them because they deserved it, and the Crow was happy that I gave them more to eat.

    And then I killed different people, who killed different peoples' Ayryn's, the Crow said.

    And then I found the Sun Man. I do not know if I do not like the Sun Man. The Sun Man hurt me. The Sun Man frightened the Crow who tells who dies. The Sun Man killed the people who fed me and gave me my sword. The Sun Man confused the Crow who confounds.

    I could not kill the Sun Man, but the Sun Man could not kill me. I remember that I told the Crow who confounds, "Stumble his feet," but the Crow could not make him. I told the Crow who tells who dies, "Sit upon his shoulder so that I may kill him," but he lived. Not even Brother Ayryn lived.

    I think the Sun Man is a good man.

    Total No. of Voters: 84

    A lot of rapidfire votes. As a note, we are leaving the Canadian Weekend and Academia Nut does not do double updates during the week. We have at least another sixteen hours before vote lock. Relax and talk it through.

    To be honest, we have much more voters appear than what is usual.

    I recall hearing an announcement recently that just as Ymaryn, SV has also welcomed immigrants from foreign lands. In this case AlternateHistory.

    With their focus on...well, alternate history, it is little wonder to see our numbers expand so quickly.

    So

    A show of hands, who is here from Alternatehistory? :p

    Redshore's River is Snake River. Valleyhome river continues to be nameless, despite continuous pokes at @Academia Nut

    That's actually a thing we could do with the Retraining option. Just dump some Stallion martial into there and get set up.

    Guys, come on. We have a megaproject to work on and Yenyna wants peace. Let's work on the megaproject and have peace. Both we and Yenyna deserve our peace more than the Highlanders deserve death.
