So when are we going to increase the stats on our Learning or Intrigue? They look utterly pitiful compared to our other stats.

Genezz, could we get some way of improving rolls like Double Down? We've got more than enough income to work with for that.
With this update I'm entirely in favor of becoming a Paladin(27 Piety! excuse me 24), although our next personal action should be to translate the book since that is likely the next step on the path to wielding the Light, or I suppose having a sudden flash of insight during the interlude allowing Angelica to wield it(like Turalyon except without a mentor dying) would be awesome.
For our next intrigue action we should expand our network, or sweep for spies although the latter has the issue that we're constantly receiving refugees.
For Diplomacy bringing Light Hope Chapel into the SC is the obvious decision, although if we have a choice of gaining a 2nd diplomatic action let's go with that one.
Piety Soil obvious, or a 2nd Piety action if we're lucky enough to be offered it, although gaining LHC might unlock that extra action?
Stewardship - Mine obvious.
Military - if we win the interlude, repairing both of our watchtowers, and expanding patrols to the bridge seem like a reasonable course of action.
That isn't to say a way of improving rolls isn't plausible just make it something like using Angelica's status as royalty, Genius ability organize a project, or something else to improve one roll.

I do wonder if the Genius trait makes personal improvement rolls have lower difficulty, although considering what we're up against I wouldn't complain if that was the case since we lack a lot of the other advantages various other Dynasty Quests have that would make such a benefit unbalanced.Good Lord what is up with our personal improvements!?

With those rolls it is a very good idea that we went with quarantine before researching the soil, also while average rolls are optimal long-term, extreme roll results are more interesting to run with imo.
Learning is literally on the bottom of my priorities, and intrigue will need a substantial increase to gain any benefit from it, so specializing in Martial/Piety seems like a more prudent use of personal actions, due to our 3 martial action slots, and Piety being the route toward cleansing the blight from Lordaeron.
Double Down wouldn't exactly make sense for us, because our fundamental limitation isn't money to fund a project, but manpower.

I have some plans for that, there will be a option of setting up something like DD either next turn or the turn after.

That's just your opinion. I, for one, would like to increase those stats to at least double digits so they are not pathetic and in the hopes of having some bonuses when applied to the action choices.
query, is there an up to date version of the character sheet, I am fairly sure she has had +7 martial and +7 piety...
wait is this right
Diplomacy: 19+3+2+2=26
Martial: 13+3=16
Stewardship: 18+3=21
Intrigue: 6+3=9
Learning: 6+3=9
Piety: 21+3=24
the implication from the points before was that her stats were good martial, however if 7 is removed, that wouldn't be good... but you don't start with 21 piety normally?

You started with Martial: 6 and Piety: 14, add 7 to those and you get Martial: 13 and Piety: 21, I add every point you get from training directly to your base stats, if the stats change from traits I will add a + or a - depending on what the trait does.

Our personal improvement actions are still going strong, I see. Now, we seriously need to up our intrigue and it would be nice not to be the dumbest notable person in our faction. Any martial or military improvements still seem to be of least concern as with our heroes we don't need to, nor should we really participate in battles.
What I find a bit annoying is that now we have a new shiny that needs personal actions, of which we only have one. With scourge cultists running around and mysterious thing happening near us, we simply don't have the time to look deeper into shiny things, so that book is wasted on us and will be for quite a few turns, I fear. For 100, I'd rather have something that actually would be useful right away. Now we just have a second thing like the Clarent which we don't really have any time to spare on.
On a side note, I do wonder why Isillien is so much harder to befriend than Brigitte.

I was reading the stats on Piety and from the latest results it stated that we got +4 Piety from the Personal Action. Was that a typo? Because then our Piety stat should be around 25.
You started with Piety: 14, Turn 3 you got +3 from Personal Action and this turn you got +4 (because you rolled 100), 14+3+4=21+3 (Genius Stat)=24. I´m not sure how you got 25.
Ok, it was a comment from the start where someone commented about high martial strength immediately after the character sheet, I think they must have been talking about the starting forces rather than martial then...

I think we need to complete training with Isillian, Alexandros and maybe Saidan before we get to that point.

My math was wrong. I thought the 3 added was from the Turn results.

We are based on Mordred not Nero.
No the deafault image is of Nero , the armoured version is of Mordred . mordred doesn't have a dress she wore her armour all the time to hide her pedigree from her dear old dad.
Even if it is an option next turn translating the book from our personal action this turn, because it might contain an alternative method for wielding tithe Light without the drawbacks being a Paladin.
Honestly any knowledge on the light is useful regardless.
Currently she has Mordred's sword, is the sister of Arthas (name that is obviously based on Arthur, at least I think she is his sister, haven't double checked, edit: now double checked yep sister) Menethil and is currently trying to take over Lordaeron (for a very good reason, i.e. the rightful king sold the country out and was killing everyone), one of the images is of Mordred as you said, and since there are no civilian images... well images that are appropiate for a princess, it makes sense to use the civilian image of a different Arturia clone who wears red
What are the drawbacks fo being a Paladin?

Given that we took in over 1000 refuges this turn, I think that for the next turn we should set up the mines, and the turn after that we should choose one of the one-turn food increasing options. The mines because without them we will run out of useable iron in one to two months, and the food because without increasing our food we will run out in three months. Does that sound good?
