On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Holy shit.

Holy shit I was wrong about my Adamant estimates.

Holy shit.

Structural is a doubling already? That's TWO Adamant!

Before Compression, OR before AAS!

This is brilliant!

This is BRILLIANT!

I have to redo EVERYTHING but the timetables...

An AAS with JUST THIS is *THREE* Adamant a turn! Three! That puts even if Siphoning AND Compression does nothing, from 8 bars expected to 11 bars! That will cut payoff time from 3.75 turns to less than three!

I am actually giggling in GLEE.

It should be 13 actions according to Turn 49 Results.

Anyhoo, here's the plan I had planned for this turn:

[] Plan: Magical Mayhem
-[] Training Regime Pt. 1 [1 Retainer]
--[] Drakk Expertise [30 Kraka Drakk Favour]
--[] Ornsmotek Expertise [+1 Action, 60 Kraka Ornsmotek Favour]
--[] Ravnsvake Expertise [+1 Action, 40 Cult of Valaya Favour sub.]
-[] Waywarding [1 Retainer]
-[] [Simple] A Wonderful Endeavour [2 Heir]
--[] Petition the Hold [45 Kraka Drakk Favour]
-[] Drakk Rearing [1 Retainer]
-[] [Difficult] Coronation Gift Pt. 1 [1 AP]
-[] [Difficult] The Movement of Things Pt. 6 [2 AP]
-[] [Difficult] The Rune Metal Pt. 6 [2 AP]
-[] [Simple] Odd Wyrm's Blood Pt. 2 [1 Research]

We need to start our Universal Dorf Ranger Training, polish off Movement of Things Pt. 6, and I think, set up the opportunity to make a good chunk of progress towards our first GLIMRIL.

Edit: Okay, I just noticed Coronation Gift is a thing. We need to accept it, because otherwise Vragni might have a chance at bragging rights. THIS WILL NOT DO.

(*New*)[ ] Expedition, Temple Expansion: [Cost: 4 retainer actions] Gain 25/50/75/100 Favour with the Cult of Valaya, the Temple of Valaya's Healing Waters shall be moderately expanded, improved casualty recovery for Kraka Drakk. No Chance for Casualties/Fatalities. The Cult will complete the expanded Temple by Turn 52. The Cult of Valaya has taken note that many Dawi seem to appreciate the therapeutic and minor restorative powers of spring you donated to them long ago, despite the fact that they have to bathe in hot water to do so. Now the temple is projected to run into space issues within another century and this simply cannot do. Unwilling to bear the shame of being considered a poor host, and losing out on the revenue and donations the Temple brings, the Cult wants to expand the temple before things get to a head. Lend your aid.

This is more than a little intriguing...

[ ] Kradskonti [Cost: 1 action] Gain a chance to observe Kradskonti. Kradskonti? Kradskonti! When the Valayans informed you of this opportunity, you had to force yourself from jumping out of your chair and rushing south. The first time is free, they say, but subsequent viewings will not be tolerated without a few concessions. The Cult know what they have, and if any Rhunki (IE you) wants to futz about and examine the weapon of their Patron they best be ready to do something in return.

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda looking at the Armor version for maybe making an Anti-Magic Shield.

-- Master Rune of Purification [Armour]: The armour glows bright like heated metal and burns enemies that touch it, spells cast against the wearer are converted into heat energy and projected outwards as either a pulse or concentrated jet of flame from anywhere on the wearer's body.

Maybe MPurification, Spellbreaking, and… I'm not sure yet. Don't really need Spelleating cause Purification already does that. Hmm.

But making a Purification weapon/Axe that's MPurification, Daemonslaying, Gazul is also really fucking tempting.

UGHHHH! So many good ideas, so few slots.
 
So we are compressing Expurgation and making M.Expurgation + Gazul's flame axe, right?

And it looks like Malekith is finally mentioned! Let's see if we will be meeting him soon!

Besides that it seems to me that our next major focus in the short term is the upcoming war with the chaos lizards since I doubt any of us want them to actually achieve there goals.

Also damn if I'm understanding it right our Adamant research has decreased which is huge for our research time-tables!

How does the Master Rune of Purification's structural version work?
Click to expand...

What you inscribe it on is treated as a smelter. if its on a room, that room is now a smelter that can get hot enough to make Adamant (I had to edit that, it can go higher than Pure Gromril)

the description is more general for a reason. *cough* Maybe make stuff with it *cough* try it and find out. #Mechanics

so spend some time on our new school construction, work on a new weapon, do some research, then in about 2 turns or so go to war to prevent another Siege?
 
Guys, I want to do the request for a gift for the High King, like a Talisman with our new rune on it, he probably has better stuff, but anything anti magic or demon is always a good gift, plus he let us see this gear, we have to do something for him
 
so. what are the thoughts on making a new axe finally? the weapon purification rune seems pretty sweet. not sure what two regular runes should go with it though.

i would really like to get it designed this turn if at all possible. which i think it is, especially if we dont march to war this turn (which tbf we probably should)
 
Okay so some very short estimations.

Cost of 3 Adamantine Adamant Smelters: 30 bars.

Current Generation: 2 bars.

Generation assuming Siphoning and Compression do NOTHING to this per smelter: 3 Bars(2 for Structural Purification, x1.5(Adamant)) x 3 (Smelter Max Count) = 9+2 = 11 Bars, = 33 bars in 3 turns to pay it off. Time for Full Snow Weapon Hearth Guard: 11 turns (10.9 and change but meh)

Generation assuming Siphoning and Compression add .5 bars per smelter: 3.5(2x1.5, +.5) x3 = 10.5+2 = 12.5 Bars = 37.5 bars, 3 turns to pay off. Time for Full Snow Weapon Hearth Guard: 10 turns(9.6)

Generation assuming Siphoning and Compression add 1 Bar per Smelter: 4(2x1.5 +1) x3 = 12+2 = 14 bars = 42 bars, 3 turns to pay off still. Time for Full Snow Weapon Hearth Guard: 9 turns(8.5)

I don't think anything higher is plausible, but I was violently wrong about how much just Structural Purification would do, so. Yeah.

Once again: These are conservative estimates that may or may not be exceeded by actual results, this is meant to present a bare minimum result.

Of note: if we get to 4 bars/smelter somehow(unlikely IMO) then armoring the Hearth Guard in Adamant is plausible in a longer timeframe. Which would be actually hilarious to me.
 
Right!

Cracking on cracking on.

[] Plan Turn 50 Structural Siphoning, Dragons, War Prep
-[] Snorri/Karstah
-[] Movement of Things 2 Snorri
-[] Drakk Rearing 2 Snorri
-[] Design Spite Talisman, "Zharr-a-Drakhazi" 1 Snorri
-[] Odd Wyrm's Blood 1 Research
-[] A Wonderful Endeavour 2 Karstah
--[] Petition the Hold 45 Drakk Favor

-[] Retainer/Orders
-[] Waywarding 1 Retainer
-[] Training Regime Pt1 1 Retainer
--[] Drakk Expertise 30 Drakk Favor
--[] Ornsmotek Expertise 60 Favor with Kraka Ornsmotek
--[] Ravnsvake Expertise 40 Favor with Cult of Valaya
-[] A Wonderful Endeavour 1 Retainer
-[] Order: T4 Magma Wyrm's Lung
-[] Order 2: T4 Elder Stonehorn's Eye
--[] Royal Expedite x2 30 Kraka Grom Favor
-[] Order 4: T4 Elder Stone Troll's Blood
--[] Royal Expedite x2 30 Kraka Grom Favor

Did away with the Gildercoat version, because an answer from Soul clarified how Spite acts via spooky action at a distance which won't work for what I had in mind with Gildercoat.

[] [Write In] Fire of the Black Halls, Talisman, Pt 1: A ring of adamant, with a bas relief shaped to resemble the winding loops of tunnels connecting glorious halls and the dwarves around the tables and fires of those halls. Minute gems including Hearthstones dot the artwork, providing hints of color and shade to the piece. The environments and dwarves are picked out with incredible life-like detail. Through clever internal mechanisms the ring can be turned to change its size, for the sake of convenience or passage onto a worthy bearer when the time comes. On the banners in the halls, three runes are inscribed, with their glow subtle until Zharr-a-Drakhazi's effects activate.

The Master Rune of Spite (T4 Stonehorn Eye) + Rune of Spellturning (T4 Stone Troll's Blood) + Rune of Gazul's Flame (T4 Magma Wyrm's Blood)

As a thematic statement, I like this: "Protected by fires of the Underearth, if the bearer comes to harm by magic or weapon then the foe will find even more terrible wounds appearing on their body, wounds that burn with the flames of the underworld that abhor all evil things."

My plan here does some simple things. The first is doing 2 into Movement Six gets us Structural Siphoning, need to finish that up for Khazagar and its in easy reach. Then because I know people will want to, 2 actions into Dragon Rearing to just keep that going.

Final Snorri action is to do some personal war prep and have things set up for building the talisman on either turn 51 or turn 53, before we march for war again. Also on the war, a nice thing about it is that the extra time we got here was due to good Regional RER rolls and a good Elf trade roll. (there was a really good Waystone roll on the side which I don't think really had to do with the city coming down). So the Far North is perfectly capable of destroying cities without our help.

Odd Wyrm's blood just trucking along. Karstah and the Retainers and Drakk Favor here are able to be used to get six progress on Khazagar, meaning we'll get more overflow on it on turn 52 at the end of the day.

Our Retainers are going to be relevant to the war so we can work on Training them up in prep for the war. Hopefully we get a chance to gain Ravnsvake favor in the next few turns so we can grab that final option. We also use some Valaya favor to buy off the Ravnsvake option, which should be fine, we get a lot of activities from the valayans to begin with.

Finally, the orders are for the Hearthguard Mountainsouled banner post Khazagar, and making sure we have the reagents for the spite talisman ready sooner than later.
