[X][Mina] Mislead Mina. Explain that due to her replanting, she's a bit grouchy, and she'd get a better impression if she met with her later.
I'd really want for the Mina votes to be SEPARATE from the plans, but no one seems to think like this. This option, aswell, seems the better for me, because if she ignores our warning she can't be mad at us for anything that happens, and if she doesn't, we have time to speak with Nerissa and maybe ask for fruit, if we really do want to give them. Not like we are obliged to obey our father demands right now, we can pretty much enter a bureocratic cicle of speaking with him, maybe even speaking with other noble families to guarantee our father won't simply send Mina to get us dead.
Don't worry I noticed that. I ust figured we can't realy stop Mina from metting Nerissa at this point so better to forewarn her, that is the point of the second line, there is no way Nerissa is going to be good and hiding her felling, so let's try a bad way that can be excused be her nature.
Also the ''latter'' is suposed to imply after Mina is already gone, I supose I should clarify that.
Can we even known if/when Mina is gone? She is an assassin, by definition she is good at moving unseen.
i'm honestly curious. are we making any progress at all? because it seems like for every step forward we make we get knocked back ten because of all the bad stuff that keeps happening. and it's getting to the point where i'm thinking we should just hit a game over point so we can try again fresh since there's basically no way we can make a comeback without sage style crits for a few turns
We ARE making steady progress, actually. We have more troops than we could hope to keep in the beggining, and we still get a good income, bigger than before, while having a couple of usefull structures. It's slow and somewhat grating, but that should be expected, this is not a easy do what you want quest.
Could any of you explain the logic behind this plan to me ? Because right now it seens based on the idea of burin our head in the sand and hoping nothing goes wrong.
First there is leaving our manipulative assasin sister alone with our impresionale young Driad, wich simple doesn't sound lie a good idea.
Then there is using the personal action for research isntead of talking with father, wich is the think we should have done last turn since not doing so is the reason our sister is around.
Then there is using the driad action to suport the research action that needs even more investment to bring benefit isntead of the thing that should give us more income now or getting the fruits.
And then there is the hunter action, where we use both to scout even tough we only realy need one and currently have negative income, to not talk about how Olivia won't be doing anything this turn.
1. Mina CAN protect herself, she can even be considered a Hero Unit on her own right, and she's yet a child. Sure, she can be easily impressed, but it's not like she would believe Mina over us, and we should continue our contact with her, thus guaranteeing we teach her right from wrong, at least as much as we want to.
2. Talking with our father right now is completely useless. COMPLETELY. He already sent Mina to deal with us, meaning she is in charge of this now, and there is no reason to contact him unless we want to undermine her and go behind her back to deal with him... Which could end up very badly. Very, very badly.
3. We already know research here is hard, but also unique and can bring us lot's of good things, even incredible income or unique resources. Thus, having our lil girl help in our efforts can make the diference between heaven and hell.
4. I don't know exactly about Olivia, but isn't she always helping us and thus why we even can do two actions? If that is so, for me, it's implied whenever we don't give her an action, she will be together with us, which by itself will mae our actions safer and easier.
5. For hunters... How did you come to the idea we have negative income? You yourself said later that we have 800+ so... We are not lacking for income, but the hunters have already helped alot in those last seasons by scouting, we shouldn't stop what is working.
I was afraid of that, and to answer your question honestly with the way the updates are structured and specialy now that I know actualy maingt he fruits is a season long affair I figured the actual decision on what to do with the fruits would come next turn, after the action to talk with father, so I have not made the choice yet.
First mistake, you forgot the +10%, our upkeep is around 841 actualy.
Except he isn't getting what he wants either way since it aparently takes three months to grow those fruits, also we still need to handle the fallout from that direction from eating the fruit, we can't just ignore him and hope he forgets, otherwise the option wouldn't be there.
Just sayin but the herbalist isn't likely to help with that action since messing with actual magic is kind of beyond him, also the fact you didn't use Olivia anywhere kind of contradicts the idea of focusing effort to avoid failures.
Like I said before, we can't deal directly with him. We deal with Mina, she is explicitly here to deal with us regarding the fruits. Really, forget about sending him a message now, this will only make things worse for us, if not because of her, because this takes longer and our father won't like it, and maybe because he will see this as us ignoring his orders, after all he did order Mina to make sure we deliver the fruits.
Herbalist don't deal with magic, yes, but knows ALOT more about plants than us, which by itself can be usefull since we would be working inside the overgrowth.
@inverted_helix can we assume that Olivia will stay beside us unless told otherwise? This was my assumption ever since we got her, but this doesn't seem to be the view of others, so to keep this clear, I'm asking you.
