Woohoo, glad to see that this is back!
As for the plans...I dunno. I like the improvements that Orisha made on HanEmpire's plan, but I kinda like the watchtower and 'hone your mind' ideas. But I guess watchtowers could probably wait.
I'll put down a vote for Orisha's plan for now.
[x] Plan Orisha
Also, I like the consideration of housing in HanEmpire's plan. Are we ready to start building a more permanent settlement yet? Or should we keep scouting for now?

*Hands Chainsaw Raptor an electric powered chainsaw.*
I liked the watchtower additions as well but I figured it would be a research action we could hold off on for now. Be assured that I'll definitely add it in under a communications and transportation based action instead of just road building.
I also added that the scouts would help with housing construction as one of the actions the scouts should be performing as well. As for stats, I'm not really sure how they factor in at this point into each action. On the one hand, improving ourself is good but we seemed to be doing alright so far and I like that we've been concentrating more on the narrative than the stats to get things done. I'll include it into my plan for the next turn though if GM can shed more light.

@GeneralXanatos By the way, how should our income and revenue work out? And are all of our stored resources (food, iron, etc.) represented by their equivalent in 'gold coins'? I'm available to geek out about economics logistics. :3
You gotta background in economics?
Would love more input or suggestions from you on my plans if your willing.
I'll be closing the vote at eight pm cst.
Grandpa is in the hospital. All my quests may or may not go on hiatus soon, depending on how that turns out. Not sure yet.

No worries, take your time.
I'll do my duty to suggest ideas that only work in ideal conditions! :3
Stats, Skills, and how they work:
Okay, stats are divided into three categories:
Physical: How physically fit a character is. How much they can lift, how fast and how far they can run, how long they can be in battle before they start taking penalties. All combat skills are governed by this stat. 4 is peak human, with 5 breaking into superhuman. Every point after 2 starts giving a +10 to all rolls.
Intelligence: Fairly self-explanatory. How smart the character is. This effects things like economic decisions, research actions, and intrigue actions, when taking a personal hand in them.
Charisma: How well-spoken, attractive, and persuasive the character is. Diplomacy actions are effected by this.
All these skills govern over their own skill trees. For every ten points in a skill, you get a +5 to a d100 roll.
So, say you have a guy with 4 Physical, and a 50 in two handed weapons. He'd roll a +45, - from battlefield conditions, on a 1d100.
Dice rolls either have a difficulty given to them, or are rolled against an opposing character.
So, if we take the above example, and throw him against a guy with Physical 3 and a 70 in Sword and Shield, we'd roll a 1d100+45 versus a 1d100+45. Also taking into account such factors as exhaustion, wether the character been wounded or not, how firm is the ground, etc.. I'd add negatives based on said factors.
When Caor or other named character isn't taking a personal hand in an action, I'll roll a flat d100, with certain factors taken into account.
You can increase stats and skills by dedicating actions to them, though it'd be more expedient to increase your skills than your stats. I'll roll a flat 1d100, which has to pass a difficulty setting which increases as you get better, and then a d10 to determine skill increase. The 1d10 will get a modifier depending on if you crit or not. Crit's in this game are 95-100, with 100 being a Major Crit Success. Crit failures are 1-5, with 1 being a Major Crit Failure.

I didn't want it getting to complicated. Revenue is basically taxable income from trade and domestic production at this point. I don't want the system getting overly complicated, so all resources are abstracted into their value in copper, gold, or silver. Your resource and food situation is basically "enough" until stated otherwise in the story. I'll make note of it when people start to go hungry, or the iron mines start drying out. Probably a turn ahead of time, unless something like a blight happens, so you can at least try to head a disaster off.
Roll 7 1d100.
Then roll another 1d100.
Then roll another 1d100.

Just had huge fight with parents. Most of the beliefs and my sexual preferences, that I'd been hiding for years, just came out in a rather loud argument that the neighbors probably heard.
All of my quests, that @drexal15 isn't co-gming for, are on hiatus; until I'm sure I won't off myself out of shame.

Right, I'm back.
Update schedule:
Overlord through the Multiverse(SB): Tonight or tomorrow.
Sauron's Won: Thursday or Friday hopefully.
Age of Conflict - Reboot: Tonight, hopefully. Might be pushed back to tomorrow on account of work for this quest and Overlord. And the fact that my niece is having a Christmas party, and my attendance is required.
